Hi
since i flashed my n9005 with 4.4.2 i have problem with carrier switching,
i use carrier that allows to connect with network by two ways:
by mother carrier - let say nr 1
or by two other carrier with domestic roaming - networks 2 and 3.
when i use my network 1 - i can connect with LTE speed, while in roaming only speed H is allowed.
And my problem is when i manually connect with network 1 my phone keeps switching to 2 or 3 after loosing signal even for few seconds - in elevator or staircase.
I wanted to lock it on my network by i can't.
Didn't have that problem with Note2 LTE...
is there any way to lock on single network, i don't have option to disable roaming, there is only option for data roaming.
Have you tried just going to settings --. connections --> more networks --> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators --> selecting the #1 network? If you select one here, the phone should turn off Auto switching and it can't change to another network unless you select one manually via this method. Or at least, mine remains on 'no service' untill I select another when crossing the border.

I don't think so. It shoud NOT auto-switch to another network.
Please double check.

Didn't have time to browse all the posts on this issue but while we're waiting for the next useless hotfix from HTC, I tried to go with manual settings for the network and network type by doing the following:
1. Wireless controls>Phone>Band: Change network type from Auto to WCDMA. Left Band Frequency on auto. Done.
2. Settings>All Settings>Personal>Phone>Network: Changed "Network selection" to "Manual". Your device will search for all available networks. Pick your carrier/network from the list.
3. On the same screen as 2, tap on "Set Networks" and uncheck all other networks except your own primary network.
With the above change the phone will only have my home carrier to choose from (not sure if that makes any difference) and the network type will always stay with HSPA which is no problem for me in the area I live, in fact I want that.
Cant confirm if this does it since the issue occurs sporadic, but so far five days without any SMS stuck in the outbox which is unusual for me, used to get it every single day.
Obviously the above leaves it to you to manually manage the network settings as well as running H all the time may be a problem for some, but if this works as an interim (hopefully not permanent!) solution for some users it could be worth giving it a shot...
Cheers.

On mine under Wireless Settings>Phone is only has the options for sounds available?
Jammie: Doesn't sound like the right place. It's basically just the Comm Manager.
Thats right: Comm Manager/Phone then scroll down to Band to make those changes, then Done or Cancel and hit the Menu/Network or Advanced Network tab.
Bear in mind that if you select WCDMA only as opposed to Auto, then you will have no signal at all if you go to a non-3G area (of which there are still many thousands of square miles in UK!); overall its best to keep this at Auto for everyday use.
OK, I did steps 2 & 3 but on the first I had problem... Phone couldn't connect with the network with WCDMA, only with gsm, so I turned it from auto to gsm... I don't care about 3G
have tried all that and it didn't solve the sms problem for me...
Is it possible that the Franco kernel can cause the phone to search for network infinitely? I mean when I am in menu > wireless & networks > mobile networks. It will just keep searching and won't stop to let me choose which to connect to which is annoying because EE has T-mobile and Orange; the latter is horrid and slow even with full 3G signal. For some reason the phone is stuck just connecting to EE Orange when normally if I go into aeroplane and out it will connect to EE T-mobile as it has the stronger signal. Or is it something that's wrong?

Try punching *#*#4636#*#* into the phone dialer and scroll down to the bottom. Just above the buttons at the botton on the screen should be a drop down menu displaying which network connection you are currently accessing. Press on that to open up the menu from here you can force your network preferences ( this is the area where you can also take advantage of the n4 dormant lte capabilities, but be aware this will increase battery usage) try locating the network you wish to be on and press it, give it a couple seconds is should disable the current one and a moment later as long as it is available should connect to your choice. Not sure if this helps in anyway but it is always fun to mess around with as many setting as you can never knowing which one will solve your problem.
I got an international version SM-G900i from Amazon. I have an ATT sim card. The text and phone calls work fine but I could not get any data roaming. Though from other posts I got the data roaming, I was not able to set onto the ATT 3G/2G network in the network operator selection. My network is always shown as Maritime. Does anybody know why this happens and ways to change it?
Thanks a lot.

I tried configure the APN setting based on a link online for ATT APN. Now I am losing signals even for calls and texts....I think there might be other things that are wrong...
Error message for no ATT service
Tried different variety of ATT APN setting. Still could not get it to work....the phone shows a signal but gave me an error message that Selected network(AT&T) not available

I'm not sure what did you mean by "data roaming"??
Anyway, the problem for now is no network register. The APN settings will NOT affect at this step, so not not try to mess up with it right now.
Try to get into Settings > More networks > Mobile networks, and set Network mode to Auto connect, and Network operator > Select automatically.
That may help the device to register on the Home network.
Problem solved....or maybe not but it is working!

Okay. Thanks. I switched it back to the auto-selection mode. By data roaming....I mean 3G data. My phone is working now. I checked ATT billing usage report, it did not increase the data usage dramatically so I guess everything is fine.

Glad that your phone works now.
BTW "data roaming" and "3G data" are different things. "data roaming" is "3G data" when you are roaming to another network (not your home network).
I am using nokia 6 since 3 months. I failed to find network option where i can select 3g only or 4g only network. At my home location network switches every minute, m unable use data, this is annoying. M using idea n airtel on dual sim.
My other phone Xperia Z1 is having that option to select 3g only network... Where it wont loose connectivity.
To post this issue, i switched network twice. Pls help.

Try dialling *#*#4636#*#* and select the first entry (Telephone information). You can set your preferred network type there. On my phone there are a lot of options to choose from, including LTE only, WCDMA only, etc.

3) "Mobile network" then press option
4) "Advance" here you find three options
"4G (recommended)"
"3G"
"2G"
and Slect the network you want
Thanks
Due to network switching between 2g/3g i am experiencing inconsistent internet speed in my sim 2. Is there any way to lock my sim-2 to just 3g. My old phone used to have very useful 'WCDMA only' aka '3g only' feature. Also is there a way to lock my sim-1 to just 2g always. (That connection is just for incoming calls)
You can lock sim1 networks by Dialing *#*#4636#*#* from dialer app, select Phone information then select network mode you want and turn off the mobile radio and on again.
(Warning: Do not change/update any other settings like sms center etc)

Thanks, Is there any danger using this method? Also does this method allow to use two different- (2g in one sim and 3g in second sim at same time'? or can select only one kind in both sim?

No problems using this method IMO. But don't try to change any other setting.
Also network selection is only available on SIM1. Some manufacturer do have two options for both SIMs but not in our device.
