Everyone,
A few of us have been having a conversation over in the Raphael forum about an issue with the new Bell Canada UTMS/HSPA network. Due to Bell not carrying any HTC /HSPA capable phones, many of us have elected to purchase AT&T phones like the Topaz/Pure or Rhodium/Tilt 2 and get them unlocked. We have all been able to setup network connections etc, but the phones register as "roaming" all the time. I'm assuming that this is because Bell has some master list of IMEI codes for their own phones, and that any time a "foreign" phone registers on the network Bell sends it a "roaming" status. Can anyone confirm how this functionality works? We are all using Bell sim cards, and are not being billed for any roaming fees, so we're really not sure why this is happening. This also seems to happen with unlocked Android phones from Rogers when they run on the Bell network, but not with the Nexus One for some reason. Any help would be appreciated.

Bump !.
Tilt 2 on Bell same problem
Same problem here...
My phone unlocked Koodo phone is always roaming with my Fido SIM card.
Phone calls and Data work okay, but Radios are always roaming.
Anybody figure this out?
Nope, after more than a year, I gave up and moved onto a new phone.
I have a T-Mobile HD2, but T-mobile doesnt workin at my workplace. AT&T works so I was wonderning if I could force a roam. I've tried to manually connect to the network, but network registration fails. Anybody know anything?
Roaming is for countries other than your home country... no operator that I know of lets you roam to their competitors' networks... (apart from operators that own no physical network and have agreements to use other carriers' networks, in which case you can benefit from all... but that's rare).
But...
That is exactly the case with T-Mobile and AT&T. I got to school in Denmark, SC in the country. There I can roam on AT&T cuz theres no T-Mobile tower. When I got home its back to T-Mobile. The only thing I could say is that the roaming could be region or area specific. Could that be the case?
I guess the best way to know is to call TMO and ask...
I roam on AT&T just fine up here (Mendocino County in Northwestern California) in dead spots, and that's in-market where there are also T-Mobile sites. We're a former Edge Wireless market (AT&T Affiliate, taken over by AT&T in April of 2008), and all former Edge Wireless markets have this, we get to use AT&T and T-Mobile's network, I can force (instead of letting it automatically roam over) it to roam on AT&T if I want as well.

Hi,
I searched but couldnt find any threads on this topic. I just go my Hd2 for Tmobile unlocked (stock roms). I use it on ATT and my all my programs connect to the network except SLACKER RADIO. Howver, it does work over wifi.... so im not sure how to fix it.
Also, the location for the weather app is not accurate... how can I fix this?
Thanks!
Slacker i cant help you with as it only works over there, but the location thing, onep up google maps get a gps lock ,then try and update see if it makes a difference, the weather thingy isnt the best where i live it doesn't work at all, I have yo use an app called Weather/city Editor,
i am also having the same problem. slacker won't work on ATT edge but all other programs do just fine.. any fix for this?

It has to be an AT&T thing, because I am on TMO and it works fine, so I doubt it is a phone issue, but a provider one ...
EDIT:
But on a side note, when I am roaming on AT&T it still works go fig ....

I talked to t-mobile a couple of weeks ago, because my phone would lose signal it different parts of the hospital I work at. So I tried to force roaming onto at&t (It detected it as available) but it wouldn't connect.
They told me that their roaming agreement with at&t ended last fall (which I googled to be true) and that for the most part, wireless carriers were no longer doing roaming agreements. I told them that sprint and verizon still had agreements, but whatever.
They said I might be able to jump onto at&t or other networks in limited circumstances, but that would only be in areas with confirmed zero t-mobile coverage.
Lucky for me t-mobile covers texas very well and I don't travel much!!!
On the original topic, At&t is notorious for restricting their network. They just let slacker over 3g with the iphone a few months ago. I'm guessing it is at&t restricting it to 3g only.
so can i register on the att network with my android powered tmoushd2? i have a horrible signal with tmobile no service in my house... any1 that could tell me how i would be appreciative. i tried to doit myself but it says something like my sim card is not unlocked
Are you trying to force it to roam on AT&T due to your barely there service, or are you trying to switch carriers to AT&T and continue using your HD2? Your question is confusing.
If you are trying to force it to roam on AT&T, it wont let you if it picks up the slightest T-mobile signal. If you use too many minutes roaming, they'll cancel your plan anyway, so that's not a good idea. Well, at least that's what the fine print says.
If you are trying to switch carriers, you must first unlock you HD2. Then AT&T sims will work in your phone. Sadly, you have to pay for the unlock code. Various people on Ebay can hook you up. There's also several websites that will unlock it (again, at a cost), but I don't know any off the top of my head.
Ok guys so i have my rogers S4 that I modified to work on wind. Data works great on Wind Home zone but when I get to Wind Away, data does not appear or does not work. Believe its the same model as the AT&T version so if any of you have the AT&T version and modified your phone to work on T-Mobile and were able to get away zone data services wroking then please let me know how you fixed it!
Model of my s4 is SGH-I337M
Has anyone else been through this madness and got wind away data to work? How did you fix it?
Please help me out here!
