OK guys need some help, my network provider has a deal with another company so I can use both companies masts. problem with that is I constantly get the message about roaming come up on screen. I'm not worried about roaming since its all included in my package its just really annoying.
anyway to turn it off ?. I have ploughed through the forum and googled but cant find anything
I had the same issue as you. My search came up with nothing but as I was creating a new thread, this thread showed up along with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356855. I checked the registry setting in that thread and it was set to 0 (off) but I was still getting the message. Annoyed by this I did a search on the entire registry for "roam", found this setting "HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\ShowRoamingMessage" and changed it to 0. After a couple of soft reset which is a known instance where I would get the message, it has not shown up. Keeping my fingers crossed it did not screw something else up or else I will have to do my first Hard Reset for a registry F.U.B.A.R.
I am not very knowlegable about this stuff by any means so proceed at your own risk, just sharing what I stumbled upon.

Hello everyone, i had have this happend to me twice and i dont know what it is. When im on a call my phone hangs up at a certain time between 5 -10 min during the call. And what it does is it hangs up and loses the signal and thake a min to find it. I dont know what could be doing this. Perhaps its the new ROM for HTC which i installed about 2 weeks about, but i cant figure it out. B/c most of my calls are short and are for confermation. Any tips with be great. Thanks!
well i think i kno what it is
I was on another forum and someone told me it was the Radio, i was on the cingular forums to see if they can do anything, they told me to do a hard reset, i did but i havent gotten in a long conversation so we'll see
I've been having the same issue for weeks now.
Someone mentioned if you have an application which is set to automatically connect to the internet (ex. Pocketweather. Newsbreak), then this can potentially be the cause. It has something to do with switching between voice and data.
There's a simple registry fix for this. Read about it last night, but don't have a link handy. It was in the Wizard forums here.
Please
Please look for it it would be greatly apritated
Registry change for dropped calls after 4 minutes
Add the key
HKLM\drivers\builtin\ril\GPRSStallWorkaround=dw:0
See http://www.netmotionwireless.com/support/technotes/2208.asp for an explanation...
I dont see it
I dont see "GPRSStallWorkaround"=dword:0" do i make it or what i read the link you gave me
Add the keyY
You need to add the key with a value of a double word (dw) of 0. Check out the link above...
Thanks for starting a thread like this. i usually experience this issue when I'm using Agile Messenger and a call comes in. If I don't close Agile while on the call it will just drop the call.
I might give this GPRSStallWorkaround a try if anyone gets any results from it.
Soo
I copy this entire thing word for word GPRSStallWorkaround"=dword:0 ? and put the type DWORD
Negative
you make a new key as descibed above and give it a value of a double word of 0.
OOOK
ok i got it now i see it.. and that will solve it i presume and i soft reset?
yep...reset it...
it will address the problem descibed in the link above...
It works!!
Thanks soo much i was on a call for 20 min straight and it didnt disconnect. thanks soo much again
Hi All.
I've persevered with this problem long enough and I'm reaching the point where I'm ready to send my phone back and ask for something else.
The problem is, seemingly at random, the phone loses the notification settings for SMS, MMS and reminders and silences them all and turns off all display messages.
The only way I catch a message coming in these days is to have the phone on the desk and watch for the screen turning on.
It leaves the volume up for the phone ringing etc but switches off messages.
It's absolutely doing my head in. I've googled but noone else seems to be reporting similar messages so I'm wondering if there is something really easy I'm missing or is it a hardware thing some how.
Anyone got any ideas? Filaing that, has anyone got a backup of the original UK T-Mobile ROM that I can put back on?
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Exactly the same is happening to my dual, after I upgraded to WM 6.1! It's really annoying.
I reported the problem to Customer Support, but they only recommended to perform a hard reset
Of course I did, but nothing happens.
I found the registry keys which are supposed to control this, but it's useless for me - Maybe someone can find a way to keep the settings in read-only mode or something
I hope HTC release a hotfix for this problem asap!
This is more of a little discovery than a call for help. Well here's the story:
Earlier yesterday I was messing about with a little program called "BT Spammer" which spams active bluetooth in vicinity with things of your choosing and I messed around with a setting on the program that changes my device and hw name.... for some reason I just deleted the bit in hw name and then I messed around with something else on my phone.... later on I had to use my gps program to find destination and for some reason the GPS just wouldn't find any satelites and I was outside ( it worked fine when i tired it a few days ago) so i used quick GPS to download sat locations but when it hit 100% download it would just freeze there and not do anything and not update. I got home and tried to activesync to my computer but it would not sync. I didn't know what was going on and I thought it might have been I installed too many progs on my Iolite and one of them must have messed it up... I was looking through searches and forums to see if anyone had and answer but found nothing and I was about to hard reset (which i really didn't wanna do)... then for some reason I backed tracked and by chance had a look at the BT Spammer program and found out that the device name and hw name field was blank.... I filled them back in even though I though it wouldn't make no difference to the problem I was having then tried to resync with my computer and it WORKED! I tried to update quickGPS and it WORKED! now everything is back to normal... anyway sorry about being long winded but I've looked at a lot of forums for help on things and sometimes people aren't very straighforward or give the whole story with their problems or solutions so people keep on asking over and over on different details to the whole dilemma... hope this helps anyone who runs into the same troubles.
Hi All,
Just tried buying an app from the marketplace and got this message:
"Can't get this info right now..."
I just spent about an hour searching various forums, and there seems to be a real difference of opinion about what this message means. Some posters suggest that it indicates a problem at MS's end (i.e. they're doing maintenance, something is wrong with Windows Live etc), and so the best thing to do is sit tight. Others seem to think it is user problem, and you need to reset the phone, clear the history in IE, turn on/off cookies in IE, etc... Given I didn't change anything on my phone and this just started happening for no obvious reason, I'm inclined to think its an MS problem. Anyone else dealt with this? Advice would be helpful as I don't want to waste time trying all the suggested solutions online...
I am having this same problem. It just started about 2 days ago. Saw all the same suggestions you mentioned, but none solved it.
I have not tried a factory reset, but it seems like an MS server issue.
I ended up doing a factory reset, but that didn't help. I think the problem is that I was using a US-based live account in Canada, and somehow the phone decided to lock me out of the marketplace due to my non-US IP address. Ended up resetting the phone again and then setting it up with a Canada based live account. Now everything is fine (although I have no access to the Zune marketplace). I wonder if the Feb update did something...
May also have something to do with the purchase validation cookie that sits on the phone...
Is anyone else still having problems downloading apps from the marketplace? When I tap install button I keep getting the message that says "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while" Is anyone else having this same issue today? This is the first time I've ever had issues with the marketplace, I've had this phone for almost a month. Seems like it's on Microsoft's end, any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Seem to be other people on the XDA main forums having the problem...
Well whatever was causing the problem seems to have been fixed. I'm now able to download apps again =)
Ever since unlocking my phone, I have been experiencing very troublesome issues. It all started with picture messages not going through and giving me "Can't Send Message. Try Again." Then pictures that I received started coming in as "Media content in this message" that never downloads. I tried showing this to a friend of mine that also has WP7, but of course the image sent. That is literally the only picture I have been able to send in the past two weeks.
Nothing seems to affect it as far as battery percentage, signal strength, Wi-Fi connectivity, or anything.
Websites are also having a lot of trouble loading. Most won't load unless I let the loading bar get to about 90%, then re-enter the address. I also get a lot of "We're having trouble viewing this page right now" messages. Very frustrating.
The Marketplace has been having trouble loading at times as well.
Some apps and games that require internet connections are having spotty issues. Sometimes USA Today won't load any news. Words By Post gives me network connection errors. 4th and Mayor sometimes tells me I have no connection to location services.
All of this is really starting to frustrate me. I can't figure out what is going wrong. The only thing I can think of is that I Windowsbreak/interop unlocked my phone around the same time I started having issues. All I've installed is a battery percentage meter, a screenshot app, AdvancedConfig to change my themes and get rid of app dehydration, and WP7 Root Tools so I could get the 8107 update.
PLEASE, someone help me.
and for reference, I have a Samsung Focus with 8107 on it.
Oh and another issue, sometimes my phone goes through HUGE lag phases where scrolling through menus is incredibly choppy and slow. The only way to fix it is to lock the device and let it rest for a minute.
I may try and get video evidence of this.
I would do a hard reset and see how it works and then slowly proceed with unlocks/homebrews again one step at a time and make sure your phone works well before going the next step. And, make a back-up each time so you can go back one step if you find the one that messes up.
Never try to change and hack everything at once; errors can occur.
Ehh I'm really not trying to do a hard reset just yet...I'm hoping there is some magical solution to this.
SD Card?
Have you an SD Card installed and how much of it is used? Like you, I would do everything short of a hard reset to solve this problem.
No sir, no SD card has been installed into this phone. I learned my lesson after having to get a replacement when I got an irreversible card read error on my last Focus.
That being said, this is a refurbished device.

Some users were having data issues after windowbreaking. There is a fix in the thread and it's quite simple iirc. Ask in the thread.
edit: try this too

Well, after failed attempts at fixing this, and even working with Heathcliff on a solution, I decided to hard reset.
Re-unlocked my phone and installed AdvancedConfig. So far everything seems ok.
I know that it resets to release 5 instead of 6 which could lessen your data , but it is easily fixed in diagnostics :
*#32489#
back 1 time
NAS CONTROL
[5] RRC(HSPA) CONTROL
1 TO DISPLAY mine read release 5 after windowbreak
I then changed it back to release 6
you might also have dualmode turned off, turn it on for better perfomance
if you used heathcliffs interop did you also go to *#94765# auto sim config?
If all else fails talk Jax he made windowbreak!
