Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem with my Moto G5 Plus. I am a frequent traveller and needs to fly a lot domestically in India. Everytime my flight touches down and I switch off the airplane mode, the Moto G5 Plus takes a very long time, upwards of 3-5 mins to catch cellular network. I use a Vodafone SIM.
Is there any way to speed this up? It's really frustrating to manually search or wait for network to show up.
Please help.
What are your settings in Cellular Network Settings (from the settings menu)?
I'm curious about the 'Preferred Network Type'

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.

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.
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.

HI I just purchased my Galaxy s5, and I have noticed that in the mobile data settings, the "enable mobile data" is automatically turned off and greyed out (and can't be turned on again) IF i decide to set my network to 2G only.
I am aware that 3G is faster internet, but sometimes I prefer to leave it on 2G, because where I live 3G does not have great reception so it just adds up to needless battery drain. Can someone help me with this?
I don't know if you understood so, here I am referring to mobile data, in 2G, the slow kind (good enough for whatsapp & viber for me), I want to enable it, but on the phone, as soon as I switch to 2G only networks, the option to turn on mobile data is always greyed out.
If you know where I could contact Samsung with this please tell me I can do that too.

settings>more networks>mobile networks>network mode>gsm only (which 2G as known as edge).
Another option is to go into your dialer hit *#2263# then hit gsm band preference>[7] gsm all. then exit out. after doing that it will be on gsm (edge) only.

yes thats excatly what I tried, but as I told you, as soon as I choose 2G only (The option you refer to as GSM only), the mobile data option is greyed out and I can't choose it.
Are you sure we're using the same phone?
mine is SM-G900F
SM-G900T. the t-mobile variant, shouldn't be much different from the international version. I don't have any issues forcing it lte/4g/2g only. using the service mode in the dialer.
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.
