Hallo,
I have the International Version of the g6.
I live close to a Border to Switzerland and need to turn off the automatic switching between Network Operators because of the redicolous pricing of the foreign Operators (1MB=€10).
I could turn off dataroaming but since im often in other eu-states i need it to be turned on.
Manualy selecting the operator does not work, it just switches back...
Does anyone know how to achief this without root?
Kind regatds

Hi,
I got a problem that makes me crazy.
I leave in Switzerland, near the border with France.
As in Switzerland GSM transmitter have lower power than in France, my HD2 switch very often to french network and don't come back to home one (even when home network is stronger than french one).
In phone settings, I set "network selection" to Manual.
But phone seems to ignore this settings, and as soon as home network is unavailable, it switch to roaming, without asking ... And never come back to home network till roaming network is unavailable too (which is rare, due to stronger power).
Any one got an idea why manual network selection is not working ?
For your information, I always had this problem since I got a HTC with WM5/6
(got it with my Touch and my Diamond)
Another option could be to completly disable roaming (any way can be used), and when travelling, I can switch roaming back on.
Is this possbile ?
Thanks

A little up, in case someone got a response

Hi,
I have an issue with O2 in Slovakia - they have national roaming with T-Mobile SK.
My HD2 ignores that O2-SK is the home network and after switching off/on the phone it always connects to T-Mobile SK.
I do not want to switch to "manual" network selection due to travelling.
Does anyone know how HD2 radio or WM select the priority network for SIM registration?
According to GSM it should try the home network FIRST.
thanks

I'm traveling in Europe with my Sprint Galaxy S5 Sport running Android 5.0 on Sprint's global roaming plan, which is awesomely providing me with free 2G data in Germany, Spain, and England. However, every 30 seconds, if I'm connected to the international carrier's data network, my phone's Wi-Fi turns itself on to search for Wi-Fi networks nearby. Being on 2G and constantly searching for Wi-Fi networks is causing my battery to die twice as fast, which is the last thing I need while traveling abroad.
I've been through ALL the settings to be sure location is not using Wi-Fi (and even that location is turned off), that Google is not scanning Wi-Fi for random crap, not always scanning for networks, unchecked and killed Connections Optimizer, disabled Wi-Fi power saving mode via *#0011#, booted the phone in safe mode, killed every running app... Still, once I connect to an international carrier's data network (in this case Movistar in Spain), my Wi-Fi turns on after about 30 seconds. I turn it off, the cycle repeats.
If I turn off mobile data or unregister from the network or go into airplane mode, Wi-Fi does not turn itself on automatically. When I am on my home network, Wi-Fi does not turn itself on automatically. Only when actively connected to data on an international network.
I have talked to a few people at Sprint and they simply advise to disable Wi-FI notifications - which obviously does not solve my battery-drain problem - or factory reset the phone. However, the behavior feels too calculated to be that simple. It seems like a "feature" Sprint would try to sneak in to minimize use of international data roaming when possible, perhaps even for the customer's benefit.
Has anyone heard of this? Is it a bug? "Enhancement?" Something new they're doing for the global roaming plans? Or just a crazy software glitch as SprintCares suggests?
Thanks!
EDIT: Another data point from Reddit: this also seems to happen for people roaming domestically, not limited to international.
Hey everybody,
Recently rooted an American T-Mobile K20 Plus and removed the restriction on the network for use in Ireland. I can now register the phone to any network associated with the SIM card inserted into it. Unfortunately, the phone does not appear to be able to connect to anything but 2G internet even after changing Network Mode from GSM only to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto.
I'm wondering if there are any security measures pre-installed in the phone to block 3G or 4G internet outside of the USA or have I made any stupid mistakes? Phone pretty much needs the better connectivity for use as a hotspot. Any ideas would be great, thanks.
I have the same problem
Is it at all possible for you to access the phone's hidden settings and change the radio band under phone info to Automatic or Europe. It's likely it is set to United States by default.
K20 plus isn't able to use the frequency that irish carriers support.
