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.

Have you checked apn setting and made sure they are correct for ATT?

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).

Not sure if this is the correct forum but I want to be able to turn of roaming completely. I have a US G1 on the three UK network with the US RC33 installed and root. I have disabled data roaming. Here in the UK we're too small a country to want to roam! Coverage is usually good enough from a single network. However, I occasionally get the little 'R' symbol on the single strength icon and an annoying prompt saying I need to turn data roaming on because I lost connectivity. I have to go into the settings and manually select the "3" network again.
What I want is to either be connected to three UK or not connected to anything at all. Is there a config file I can edit to allow this? Would the UK RC8 firmware do this for me?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Doesn't a 3-UK SIM try to roam onto O2 though?
You could set the phone WCDMA only and NOT roam onto a GSM network.
Use AnyCut to shorcut Activity: Phone Info
From there under preferred Network Type; set to "WCDMA Only"
HELP!! Roaming signal won't go away
I have an unlocked G1, JF1.41 v 1.1 and i just updated to the RC33...but this also happened when i had RC30 , v 1.0...
I put in my canadian Fido sim card and everything works fine but i have that little "R" on top of my signal strength bar...
I think this means its data roaming? if this is the case...it should be okay (even though its going to bother me) because my service provider says my EDGE/Data is disabled (i do not have a data plan, NOR do i wish to incur any data charges.. i'm fine with my free WIFI ) .
However, if this means im roaming on another network, i dont want to be incuring any long distance charges on my phone EVEN when im using my own FIDO network..
I went to settings - about phone - status, and here are my specs (some of them):
Network: Fido
Network Type: EDGE
Service state: In service
Roaming: Roaming
Data Access: Disconnected
i'm pretty much just concerned about the ROAMING part of it... my other friends with G1's are with rogers, don't have that little R..
how do i get rid of that?? please and thanks!
Try manually changing the network in Settings>Wireless controls>Mobile networks>Operator selection
G1, like all GSM phones, will roam onto networks specified on the SIM if it can get a better signal. As long as the relevant operator has a roaming agreement in place, there's nothing to be concerned about, other than the R symbol in the status bar.
Mod: move this over to General discussion please.
I did change it and selected my Fido network (it's the only network available).
Thanks. I've set it to WCDMA only so I'll see how it goes.
Please help??? i still have that little R on top!
After I got home I found my phone had lost its connection. It didn't seem to be searching for the network. I had to go into settings, search for networks and then select three again. Is there any way to control if the phone does a search for networks automatically?
Looks like it reconnects to three on its own after a while. I still get the annoying popup about turning on data roaming though

As has been previously mentioned, Three will "roam" onto another network if it goes out of Three's own 3G network coverage because Three does not run its own 2G network.
However, it isn't O2 anymore, it is Orange as of late 2006/2007. I *believe* that you won't be charged any more if you use data whilst "roaming" on Orange, so whilst you are in the UK it is quite safe to allow data roaming, but I would be inclined to check this with Three.

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.

Since installing I've not been able to get LTE and I am frequently dropping data/losing service altogether. Getting this notification that states I am running into network restrictions? I will post a screen shot next time I see it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Verify your APNs, verify the connection option is set to LTE preferred in settings, (more), cellular networks, preferred network type

Ah got it. It defaults to Metro PCS for me. Thank you!!
Well I finally got the roaming "R" out of my notification bar and instead of just LTE it says 4GLTE now just like my previous phone (s5) on Verizon. Data, texts, mms, and calls all work. The problem is it doesn't stick after a reboot. After rebooting it's back to saying just LTE and the "R" is there. If anyone knows how to make it stick can you advise me please?

I just tried that and i got no carrier label and no bars at all. In settings network is unknown, cell network type is unknown, cell network state disconnected. Service state says voice in service and data out of service.
And i just dialed *#*#4636#*#* and chose LTE/CDMA auto prl. Then swiped down my notification bar to enable and disable airplane mode to restart the radios and i have 4GLTE again. Changed the apn to VZW that i had on there i added. In settings everything is on and says Verizon.

I know that this "4G LTE" icon can occur when LTE-only mode is engaged...is it possible you had LTE only and were not connected to CDMA at all? I've had that occur in some fringe areas and I believe I temporarily had the "4G LTE" icon vs. just "LTE" in those cases...though it sounds like you had calling working so I'm guessing this may be a different scenario. Very strange though...

Yes that used to happen when my phone info was set on LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). But earlier today i changed it to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) and everything works and the notification bar says 4GLTE. It stayed like that all this evening till i rebooted a few mins ago.
On the phone info page after you dial *#*#4636#*#* there's the 3 dot menu on the upper right side. On that there's an option to select radio band and when you hit it you get 3 options. USA band, band mode 6 and band mode 7. So i picked USA band and on the main page i set it to LTE/CDMA auto prl. I sent an mms to myself and it works and speed test readings is 9.84 dl and 0.91 up. I just can't make it stick after a reboot.

Data Roaming needs to be enabled in order for Verizon data service to work.
Ahh. Well, leave it to Verizon to be that way. I know going through dialer was a option but even with sprint in the past as CDMA on some older aosp ROMs, prl auto wasn't even a solution. Sometimes roaming was preferred instead of prl. So that's why I started with questioning that. If the data entry toggle makes a difference, hen I'm glad that's the solution and rather it be something you can fix on demand as opposed to it being permanent because of a carrier back end problem - - problem being in the community eyes.
Can I ask what APN you guys are using because whenever I do get LTE it says 4glte and also no service

Well i found out with these settings i couldn't access my voicemail. I had a voicemail notification and you can't use the #1 button because it's not supported, so i used *86. It would dial out and connect for a split second and cut off. And i tried multiple times pressing the #1 and *86 to get to my voicemail but couldn't. So back to the old settings with just LTE and the "R" on my notifications bar. Thank you for the help!

These are the APN settings. On the APN type i got 2 different versions from different websites. One says to put "dun" and the other says leave it out. And on bearer one says leave it as unspecified and the other put LTE. This is exactly what i have on mine.
Name: VZW
APN: VZWINTERNET
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN Type: default,dun,mms,supl
APN Protocol & APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
Bearer: Unspecified
everything else: None or Not Set
Quick note you have to add the above APN. With a vzw sim you can't add one so you have to borrow a gsm sim card either att or tmobile and put it in and add this and save it. Then put the vzw sim and you'll see the one you created. Check mark this APN and you'll be good to go.
Are you all able to use HD Voice & video calling with the native dialer on the Verizon network? Some phones have an option under settings called 'Advanced Calling'. This is where you can turn on HD Voice & Video Calling for Verizon.

Not sure about video calling, but HD Voice/VoLTE, yes. The one Verizon topic you didn't bump P) has screenshots & instructions from someone who is using VoLTE with the native MiFavor dialer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/verizon-compatibility-t3420991/page41

The mobile network just shut off for some reason.
I'm fairly inclined with tech, so scanned through the usual network settings and the apn network options, multiple reboots, clearing cache still nothing.
I am definitely in good standing with my mobile carrier, so I don't think its a carrier side thing.
Anyone have a similar issue?

Here is a link with a screenshot of what the network icon looks like: http://imgur.com/a/wIZpg
I'm using a Galaxy View LTE with no SIM inserted and that's the icon that's shown. Can you place emergency calls? If so your phone sees your SIM. If not that means your phone doesn't see your SIM and I can't offer any help as to why.
Do a factory reset and try again. OR change your SIM.
I had a similar problem. Go into settings>Connections>More connection settings. At the bottom go to Wi-Fi calling. Check to see if Never use Cellular is checked. It was on mine. Don't know how or why. It just was.
