I was just wondering if Roaming is automaticly enabled or not. IF not how do you enable it and what does the roaming symbol look like?
Thanks!
not sure how to enabled it, but the symbol looks like a white filled in triangle pointing up.
Alright thanks I have Unlimmited Roaming and I never Roam.. Why is this isnt it suppose to Roam when you get no signal. My roomate get full signal with his cell in my room but I get no signal. So why wouldnt my phone roam onto his network? How do I enable this!
Thanks!
I can't get rid of it. I'm roaming in my home area and don't understand why. The first Tilt I was sent worked fine other than the damage done in shipping and the phone having major software issues other than the at&t ones. It worked fine after I updated to the new ROM then all of a sudden after installing a dialer pad and the phone restarted it shows roam. I don't get it.

Hi:
I have a Tilt on AT&T's network. Today I was about an hour away from home, and noticed a complete loss of signal. My other phone, a Motorola Razr V3xx, had 3 bars of signal at the same time. I had this same problem in the same rural area before, and just assumed there was nothing I could do about it.
This time though I decided to turn off 3G on the Tilt (since I know it can sometimes interfere with reception), and still nothing. Then I did a soft reset (still had 3G off), and I finally found a signal, as well as the Roaming icon.
Is this normal behavior? The Razr also has 3G, but apparently must switch over to edge when it is in a non-3G area. Why would my Tilt need to be manually reset in order to find a signal?
Thanks!
Hi:
I'd really appreciate any reply
Even if it's to tell me that this is unheard of behavior. My warranty is about to expire, and need to have my phone replaced before it expires if this is a fault unique to my phone.
Thanks again!

I'm not sure why but your phone should have switched automatically. For me, I have my band set to GSM manually.
Are you using usually using 3G with no problem? There's a hardware fault in some devices that will appear about a few months of usage where 3G becomes inoperative. When connected on 3G calls will fail, and one needs to force GSM and reboot to be able to use the phone again. Return to service center needed for repair, mine is there now.
Hi:
Thanks so much for your replies!
I think I probably need a replacement phone, so I guess on Monday I'll call and spend the 15+ hours p) on the phone to AT&T to get a new one, lol.
Kilrah, yes my 3G usually works fine, but apparently when I go into a non 3G area it just loses signal. My phone never really gets great reception anyway, so hopefully the replacement will be an all around improvement.
Thanks again!!
Hi-
I have a Nexus One and I am having a problem where if I am in a location where there is HSPA available, then my phone loses 3G and HSPA connection. My phone has a 3G icon, but in the testing menu it shows that is keeps flipping back and forth between HSDPA and UMTS. Also the up arrow continuously flashes, but I don't receive any data back.
When I leave the area with HSPA service and switch to another tower which has regular 3G then my phone works fine. I figure the issue has to do with my phone missing something or having a corrupted file that is not letting it connect to HSPA service.
My phone had no problem connecting to HSPA earlier this week but all of a sudden I am having problems.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm on vacation in Fort Collins, CO and have been having similar problems with 3G
only showing the up arrown and never downloading. I got sick of it and switched to EDGE for the time being. My wife has an N1 also and it is doing the same thing, so it looks like it's not the phone. I switched over to CM6 which has the 3G and H indicators and it will only download data with the H never the
3G indicator.

I also have the same problem. When I am on HSDPA my up arrow gets "stuck" and I lose all data connection. Here is a link with others having the same issue. http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php?t=2720&page=2
Have a look at your apn settings in menu I had that prob and switched a few this around and got it kinda working
Sent from my Nexus One
my build.prop file was apparently missing the necessary entries in it. I flashed CM6 and now it works again, although my phone now thinks I am in Phoenix instead of Dallas.
Phone was working fine then all of a sudden doesn't work. No change in the settings. Has to be network related.
Starting at around 1AM EST last night 7/11 and running until this moment I have been going back and forth between Service, No Service 3G no 3G, able to place a call and unable to place a call.
My bet is there working on the network with this new HSPA+ roll out. The problem seems to be in markets that are expecting the roll out. I live in Jacksonville Fl. Up until last night I had flawless 3G and Data. It was terribly fast but I had it.
Now over the last 12 hours or so 3g Voice and data has been intermittent with no settings made to the phone.
T mobile
First of all sorry for my bad English. For those people on T-Mobile network after install elix r v2.0.1 ROM I lose my data connection. So I change the ROM to see if works but still no data working, so decided to restore ( nandroid twrp) and the same results.. So I went to cellular network, then APN and I change the T-Mobile GPRS on APn protocol to ipv4/ipv6 and I got data working.... I know some people already knows this. But people like me (noob) needs some help ..
Good news that it started working! Good follow up by the way. I was about to ask for more information in the OP but it's not needed in this case
I thought I was the only one. I just encounter this issue today
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I deleted everything on my phone for nothing it was just the APN protocol.I really got pissed
On a side note does anyone know what the exclamation mark is for? I've seen it on both my WiFi and Mobile Data icons.
The exclamation on the signal bars means one of two things.
1. You are not getting a data connection. This may likely be because:
2. Cellular data is disabled.
I just called T-Mobile yesterday (well, two days ago now) to make an ass of myself because I had the exclamation on my signal bars and I wasn't getting data. Turns out I had somehow disabled my cell data. Pull down quicksettings shade, tap the mobile data icon, and check that the cellular data toggle is enabled.
However, I did run in to another issue a few nights before where data was enabled, but I really wasn't getting a data connection. My signal bars were full, and it showed HSPA, even though I usually have LTE in that area. I fixed it by attempting to select a different APN in the list. The APN I selected failed, it automatically went back to T-Mobile, and data came back after that.
Odd, indeed; hasn't happened since.
Ah ok. I only see it now and again to be fair.
Using my N6 on Verizon, I frequently get messages that I have left my home and dont have data roaming enabled. I don't understand because my note 3 had no problem with Verizon. If I turn on data roaming for data might incur charges from some other provider? On the status bar it used to say either T-CDMA or Verizon Wireless, now it says 3100. My SIM is the same one I used in the note 3. If it matters I am using Liquid Smooth ROM and Franco r2 kernel. Voice seems to work. Any suggestions are welcome.
I'm having the same problem. I have to keep going back to stock to get LTE. I've tried liquid smooth, validus, and bliss pop and all gave me roaming and no LTE. All are their latest builds too. I've also tried popping in and out the sim card with reboots as well.

That is exactly what I am seeing. I'm on WiFi 99% of the time but when I leave the house I have no data.
Good ole Verizon making it impossible to do anything without them approving first. Its probably because Verizon doesn't want people to use the phone on their network before they release it.
They've never been good about nexus though. If you don't recall the whole galaxy nexus debacle
I had the galaxy nexus on Verizon but don't recall them interfering. I do hope that once they offer the 6 that our network access is unfettered, or the community will figure out how to make it work with custom ROMs.

Your roaming goes away? I can't run any ROM without roaming on Verizon...
I noticed this issue on CM based ROMs. Any that are stock based are not effected by this bug, for me at least. I have spent a couple of hours trying different things out that people suggest but none of them have worked. I was able to get 3G to work on liquid, but no LTE. and it reverted after a reboot. I sure hope someone can get this fixed soon.
im running cm12 on my n6 and using verizon and it works perfectly. No issues.
on Bliss Pop the Status Bar icon is NOT roaming but if you pull down and check the tiles it says roaming. I dont think its actually roaming though...LTE Discovery tells me I am still LTE and so does Network Signal Info.
So I think its just in the UI.

You think it is still on vzw when it thinks it is roaming. If I enable roaming data I won't get a huge bill from some provider?

Well, I cant swear to it for sure, but I from the apps I have I am still attached to the same cell tower, so not sure how that would equate to roaming.
LTE Discovery also shows as roaming, but all the other info also shows LTE. Same for Network Signal Info.
IANAL , but if your attached to your normal home cell towers, it would be hard for us to be roaming I would think....and hope
It may have to do with LTE vs 3G. When not on LTE it says 3100 (or 31000?) and that bus when I am "roaming". So confusing. I've gone back to stock rather than Liquid Smooth. I will try an AOSP ROM like Pure to see what happens. Although I'm not missing much on stock.

So all I can add is that I just looked at my bill which ended today. I have been using BP for the last several days at least, and I have 0 roaming charges FWIW YMMV all those caveats....I have a Nationwide Talk 450 Min plan with the standard 2gb data.
HTH, but remember I added the caveats, caveat emptor
Any update?
I have same kind of problem too. Im afraid the bill will goes up by this.
Please let us know if there is a fix for this
Yeah same problem... I don't get why some Verizon users agent having the same problem. Would unrooting and doing a factory reset maybe fix the problem? Frustrated that I can't run a custom ROM without roaming...
Go take a look at your bill/usage online and see if things are showing as roaming. like I said mine looked fine. And it seems like an issue with quite a few roms from understanding.

I just tried out Broken and it has working LTE on Verizon! I'll have to look at my bill, haven't been on a custom ROM with roaming in effect for very long though, so I probably wouldn't be able to tell very easily.
I have a Stock Rooted, Unencrypted N6, with a few custom Tweaks. On VZW have not had ANY issues whatsoever with my service or LTE. Perhaps some custom ROM/Kernels might be causing these issues?
Stock seems to not have the issue. It is said herein that AOSP based ROMs don't either but that is not true in my ecperience. LTE Discovery says 31000 is Verizon Wireless so I believe that even though it thinks it is, it isn't roaming from VZW. I enabled data roaming and switched back to Liquid Smooth and I should be alright. Thanks to everyone for the insights.

I noticed if I go to the mobile networking settings and have it it on lte/3g if I leave a 4g area, 3g works ok. If I put the toggle specifically on 3g it shows I have 3g, but anytime I tried to search google or access a data connection the signal goes away and gives me the signal with an exclamation point. I tried finding info on this, but didn't see anything when I searched. Anyone else have this issue? I am on Sprint with the 64gb white device. Thanks
I leave mine on 3g due to the lame multiple text issue. It has no problem staying on 3g. Perhaps try updating your PRL/profile and see if that helps.
I don't have 3g either if I set it to 3g only. I don't leave lte service too often to test whether 3g works when it switches on its own. I may have to make a trip to the mountains to test it. I do know that my old Note 2 would loose lte after flashing tons over and over and I would have to flash back to 100% stock the factory reset from the settings app to fix it. I may try this with my Nexus, about time for a wipe anyway.
Factory reset does not fix it. Just noticed that I don't even get 3g when it is set on LTE. I'm gonna go talk to my cellular provider about it.
I don't know why it wouldn't work. You did update profile and PRL also right? Here's some shots of mine and it's working fine.
I have a bad Sim.....I also don't have a phone number as well..... I swiped with an old card I had and my number appeared, I guess I'll be visiting the store tomorrow to get a new one. Maybe it'll fix my 3g. Its also not wanting to let me pick 3g as an option now, just stays on LTE.
KB112 - Are you on sprint also? I updated prl/profile and no luck still. 3g still works if I am on lte and go into a 3g zone, but if I toggle it to 3g only I get no data. Wondering if its a sprint thing or a lollipop bug on Sprint, or a bad sim, missing feature activation.
Bluemgt06 - did a new sim fix it for you?
Sorry, didn't see this earlier. But yes, I am on Sprint. My 3G would work fine if I set to 3G only. Not sure why yours has issues with this?
Oddly I tried it today and it started working. I think it could have been some kind of issue with the tower/upgrades or a bug that a reset may fix on occasion perhaps.
