WM: Manual network selection not working - Networking

Hi,
I got a problem that makes me crazy.
I leave in Switzerland, near the border with France.
As in Switzerland GSM transmitter have lower power than in France, my HD2 switch very often to french network and don't come back to home one (even when home network is stronger than french one).
In phone settings, I set "network selection" to Manual.
But phone seems to ignore this settings, and as soon as home network is unavailable, it switch to roaming, without asking ... And never come back to home network till roaming network is unavailable too (which is rare, due to stronger power).
Any one got an idea why manual network selection is not working ?
For your information, I always had this problem since I got a HTC with WM5/6
(got it with my Touch and my Diamond)
Another option could be to completly disable roaming (any way can be used), and when travelling, I can switch roaming back on.
Is this possbile ?
Thanks
my configuration is in my signature

Network

Hi,
I have a problem with choosing a network when abroad on my diamond 2.
I go to Settings and then Network and from the drop-down, I choose manually, which means that I choose network manually when I am abroad but it always chooses for me and never displays choices to choose between as it does in e.g. Nokia.
How do I do that on my Diamond? Is there any chance that I keep my phone connecting to one network and never on any other networks when I am abroad?
The thing is that in Denmark, it is free to use network 3 as well as in Sweden, neighbour country. So It would be nice to have it connecting to network 3 and no others. It drops 3 sometimes when network is low or lost and connects to next network automatically even though I choose manual? Anybody can help with that please?

HELP No Network

Today i flashed my HTC Touch HD with this rom (STONEHENDGE), Now for some reason i cannot get my 3 network to work atal.. Cannot make or recieve calls. It shows an exclimation mark next to the network signal icon. Also when i press find network in network selection it only finds o2 tmobile orange and vodaphone.
Any help? Is it maybe the radio needs updating?
Might sound obvious, but you have checked the UMTS band is 2100 (or Auto), and the phone has 3G enabled in comms manager?
If it's finding the 2G networks but not Three, sounds like phone is set to GSM only, sometimes happens ater a new ROM.

[Q] Home PLMN selection

Hi,
I have an issue with O2 in Slovakia - they have national roaming with T-Mobile SK.
My HD2 ignores that O2-SK is the home network and after switching off/on the phone it always connects to T-Mobile SK.
I do not want to switch to "manual" network selection due to travelling.
Does anyone know how HD2 radio or WM select the priority network for SIM registration?
According to GSM it should try the home network FIRST.
thanks

SGS2 is auto switching network operator

I have the choice of being on either the Orange network or T-mobile network here in the UK due to their signal sharing deal. My native network is Orange.
On the SGS I was able to set which network I wanted and my phone would stay on it and it would not change. Alternatively I could set it on "select automatically" and it would switch between them when the one it was on drops or it thinks the other signal is stronger.
Now I have a SGS2 and it no longer does this, it automatically switches between the networks even if I have selected the one I want manually. The problem is at my home and where I work the Orange signal is too poor to make calls so I want to keep it on t-mobile. Problem is it keep switching back to Orange and then I go to take a call but the signal is so bad I can't hear the other person!
This issue could potentially be a huge problem for me. Is there anyway round this?
