Does anyone have an idea of how to get the Droid X to roam with data when its flashed to another CDMA Carrier? I used the link below for steps to flash to Cricket, but I adapted to my carrier settings and it works within network just not off their network for data. Any Ideas?
The Link that I used was on howard Forums....Can't post external links yet!!

In Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks I checked "International data roaming" and that lets me use data when I'm somewhere where there's no Verizon coverage. Though I think that your carrier has to have agreements with other carriers for that to work.
There's another option, that I haven't checked, called "National data roaming". The text under it says: "This will allow you to use a different network provider in your country". I haven't tried this so I'm not sure what will happen.

Hey do anyone know if the NS can roam? The reason I ask is because where I live there's basically no t_mobile service but there is ATT service. So I was wondering is there's a way to get the phone to roam on ATT network instead of T-Mobile?
I went into setting > Network and Wireless > Mobile Network Settings and clicked network operators and ATT displayed. I clicked it and got the popup that it was "Registering with ATT" but then got the message that this sim card do not allow connection to that provider"
Also why do the bars change green to white, do they indicate something when they change colors?

the change in color indicates connectivity to google services
Yes you can but you will get your standard roaming charges.
If T-Mobile has a roaming agreement where you are and you can not access T-Mobile's native network then the NS will roam, just like any other T-Mobile phone. It is not at all different from the rest of their phones.

So when they turn Green then they're connecting to Google services and when they're white, they're not?

Well let me ask you this, I was at the mall yesterday and all of a sudden I had no bars and signal. I tried to make a call and it said something to the effect of "Mobile network unavailable...emergency calls only" Wouldn't the phone roam at this point or no?
I also went into settings > wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks a> Network Operators ...I did a search ATT popped up, Iclicked it and got the message that it was registering..then I got the message that it was unable to register with ATT. Can the phone be forced to roam and connect to another carrier?
How's the U.S. users' experience with 3G? I have ATT unlimited data with my plan wondering if I can just pop in the sim to use internet.
Don't know what reception would be like as I don't live in US, but for 3G to work expect to have to manually configure your APNs in settings for ATT.
If you have an android phone you can easily pop in the sim and copy the settting in:
Settings-> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names.
Hope this helps.
i have a tmobile hd2 and its carrier unlocked i am using it with ATT and i just recently lost all data connection to my phone. i have an unlimited data plan that was working perfect until just recently. no internet or mms not even weather!! only can use wifi. can anyone help? thanks
Have you tried
*#*#4636#*#*
dial this and then go to phone information.
Have you run the ping test?
Checked what Current Network says?
Checked to see if there is anything listed under =======DATA======= ?
Have you tried to put a friend's TMO sim in the phone to see if data is restored?
All the data you can provide could help solve your problem. As is, the problem might be a little ill defined.

If you are running Windows Mobile on your HD2 from the home screen touch onvStart Menu/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Connections/Connections. Then tiuch on the adcanced tab and then touch on Select Networks and make sure AT&T is the selected network. Also tiuch on the Task tab and select Manage Existing Connections. While on the Modem tab make sure AT&T is selected and under the Proxy Settings make sure the box beside "This network connects to the internet" is checked.
Ok if you are running Androud then go to Settings/Wirless & Networks make sure allow data connections box is checked. Also go to Networks/Vertualy private networks (VPN) and make sure your AT&T VPN is corrwct.
i have fixed the problem! i was running the tmobile 3.14 rom udate which sucked and i just flashed an energy rom and alll is working again thanks for the suggestions
Same Problem
Someone please help and know that I know little to nothing of technical terms! I have the same problem. I have a T-mobile Hd2 and had Android put on it. Right at first I had a data connection then all of a sudden-NO DATA. I'm so frustrated! I checked the setting for using the phone as data connection SEVERAL time. I can get wifi but no data otherwise. PLEASE HELP
Try:
Menu - Settings - Wireless and networks - Mobile network - Access Point Names - menu button - restore to defaults, and follow the simple instructions
This should place the latest APN from your carrier on to the phone - may need a soft reboot

Hi, I'm currently trying to get my T-Mobile HD2 to work properly on NTT docomo, a Japanese cell carrier. I moved here at the end of May and have been using a data-only SIM through bmobile, a provider that uses the same towers as NTT docomo and it worked perfectly, however I switched to a voice and data plan and now I have no data connection. Voice works fine though.
I followed nenol's steps and under =======DATA======= it says, "State: DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at 9:49PM fail because Activation Reject GGSN" What now? Ha
After unlocking the phone everything works just fine, including all the Google services (hooray!), but it gets only 2G speeds on T-Mobile LTE network in the USA (4G setting in the phone is enabled).
The APN is T-Mobile US LTE. However, if I go to Settings > Mobile Data > click cog on top right > Data plan settings it shows the phone carrier still as China Mobile in Beijing.
Does this mean that the SIM is locked to China Mobile only? If yes, why is the phone working, although at 2G speeds only?
Is there a way to make sure the phone is SIM locked? I’d like to avoid spending $30+ for an unlock code to find out it’s still not working.
If you have the correct APN settings I think it's the basebands using different frequencies that are not compatible with the p10 lite.
Okay, so I am on Verizon and I purchased the OnePlus 6T straight from OnePlus website. I have the 8gb ram and 256gb storage model. I have unlocked the bootloader but haven't installed a custom recovery or rooted yet. Just wanted to unlocked bootloader since it requires a wipe of device storage in case for the future.
Anyways, the phone works amassing, battery life is great, I had a pixel XL before this, screen is fantastic and is plenty fast but I have ran into an issue. The phone was activated on Verizon using Sim 1. Signal is not an issue, always have LTE from Verizon and way better signal than pixel XL ever had.
My issue is I live in a border town with Mexico and I just noticed that when I am close to the border, like within a mile the phone switches to Movistar cell provider. Movistar is a Mexican cell phone provider. Is not that I lost signal because my pixel XL had signal all over there before and the OnePlus 6T is stronger, is just that apparently the Movistar provider has a stronger signal on that area and the phone is choosing to pick up the stronger signal, even if it means going off and switching to roaming.
It doesn't cost me any $$ and speed is wicked fast while roaming but Verizon will only allow 0.5gb of roaming per day which limits the usability of the phone. Anyways, thanks for reading my long post, just wanted to give some context to the question and hopefully find an answer. Like i said, I did search and didn't find anything. If I have to root to install an add-on or an app that lets me pick my signal please advise. Also I know that I still have a strong Verizon signal because I used ltediscovery app to check and it shows the signal strength of whatever many signal phone is picking up.
Thanks in advance for reading and for answers.
One option might be Network Signal Guru in the Play Store (requires root). It's the only app I've found that allows the user to lock the phone to a specific band - which might help with your situation.

Outstanding sir. Thanks for the information. I guess time to root then for me. Been waiting for a stable recovery for OnePlus 6T but I supposed no harm so far using current version of twrp, as far as I have read.
have you tried going to settings, internet, sim, sim1, network provider, disabling the automatic option and selecting your preferred provider manually? this way you will stick to that selection

Either I do not have that option or I couldn't follow the steps.
When I go to settings, wifi & internet, Sim, sim1 then I see what is on the attached screenshot.
it seems you are missing some options
it should look like this: network operator
try to search for operator or network on the main options screen at the search bar on top.
if still no luck than maybe there is something wrong with your sim card or apn settings. you should try to contact OnePlus support than.

Mine does have network operator anywhere.
I look through all the settings and nowhere to be found. I am on Verizon network and only sim1 has a card in it.
Sim2 is empty.
I can get to the special settings through *#*#4636#*#* and even there changing different LTE settings keeps reconnecting to roaming network since the tower is like a stone through away.
Any other options would be greatly appreciated. Also the app that was suggested in 2nd post, rooted phone to try it and that option if it works is behind pay part and that app fee is $50/m. A bit steep for me so looking for options still.
Thanks in advance
Couldn't you just disable roaming?

I could but I only have an option for disabling data roaming, not roaming all together. I tried it in the past and all it did was kept me connected to the roaming network and turned off the data off of the roaming network connection. Meaning I had zero data connectivity.
I wonder if putting a Sim in sim2 slot would open up more settings ?
If anyone is using 6T on Verizon could you please go to wifi & network, sim1 and see if you get any more options than what I posted on previous ss about 3 post ago.
Thanks in advance

do you have a carrier locked device? that might prevent you from doing changes to your sim.

I don't believe this is carrier locked since I bought straight from OnePlus website. Hell, I was even charge a currency conversion fee by my credit card cause the purchased was in foreign currency.

you should try another sim (family or friends) and check if the missing option appears. maybe try your sim in another phone too.
lastly you could try a full factory reset (deletes all data)
at the end if it still does not work you really should call OnePlus for help.
also I found this app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pomo.android.networkoperators
open it and select "available networks"
that should open the missing menu to toggle operator selection...
