I have Data Roaming disabled in "Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Data roaming", however occasionally (probably once a day), I'll look at my phone and notice a notification saying that I've "lost data roaming connectivity", and my signal icon has a small 'R' above it. Even if I had roaming enabled, it shouldn't be using it because I am in Australia, and am using an Australian network. Any thoughts?

This is really annoying me. Whenever the cell signal goes to nothing or has no connection to T-mobile (say when I walk into a dead zone), the phone goes BEEP BEEP, and the screen will have a red triangle with a + indicating "emergency calls only". I DON'T CARE!!! I just want this to stop, and I can't find the option anywhere.

When I go to Settings/More/Mobile network settings there is no Roaming option. I see Data Enabled, Data roaming, Access Point Names, Network Operators, Select Network. Nothing about notifications.
I have the Bell model, fwiw.
Under "CDMA Roaming Settings", I noticed that "Domestic Data" roaming is unchecked by default. Does this mean that my phone will NOT automatically be on roaming data if I'm in an area with no Sprint service? If I want it to automatically switch to roaming in that situation, should I have it checked?
Here's the screenshot:

Anyone?

I have my domestic data checked, but international data unchecked.
I hope this is in the proper forum and hopefully the question has not been answered yet. I did a search and have found some threads but not this exact question.
So anyway...I have a Rogers (Canada) HTC One M7 running 4.4.2 and HTC Sense 6.0,
Lately I have been roaming in the USA and have incurred roaming charges even though I set my Data Roaming setting to Off (no check mark). It seems to only happen when I am roaming. Basically this is what happens.
The Data Roaming Setting is set to Off all the time.
I go into the US and lose data connection as I start to roam. This is fine.
If I turn off Mobile Data and then later turn it back on, I get the "You are roaming and incur charges..." pop up box.
The only options are OK or Cancel
Choosing Cancel keeps the Mobile Data Off
Choosing OK turns ON Mobile Data and the Data Roaming setting is suddenly set to ON (there is a check mark where previously there wasn't) and I now incur charges.
Is this by design? Shouldn't the Data Roaming setting stay off, even if you turn on/off the Mobile Data? I am not sure if this is a Phone Issue, and Android issue (OS or corrupted OS) or a Rogers (cell provider) issue or a Roaming (cell provider) issue.
I am hoping someone can enlighten me on this behaviour.
Thanks in advance.

I guess i am having the reverse effect to your problem, my data roaming keeps switching off.
With data roaming enabled, and network selection on automatic. Whenever I am in a no signal area with my home network provider, the phone should automatically roam on a partner network for mobile network and data network. (I can confirm this works when tested on a few Samsung phones). However on my HTC, the mobile network roaming works (calls and text) but data roaming does not work. It connects momentarily then disconnects and stays disconnected and wont re-enable until a reboot. If i manually select a network (either home network or roaming network) and then restart the phone, the mobile data will stay enabled. But as soon as there is a switch between home or roaming network then the data disconnects and cant reconnect until the next reboot.
I was wondering if this could be a hardware limitation or software limitation.

I personally don't think it is a hardware issue, although it may be a software bug and an issue with the roaming provider. I believe that the data roaming setting gets "reset" once the phone mobile data setting is turned back on on a foreign network. I think that the HTC "sees" a foreign network and does not know what to do so it either gets the setting from the roaming provider or just defaults to a set setting.
In my case, I had lots of support calls with Rogers and according to them, my data roaming settings are probably resetting based on the roaming provider when the mobile data setting is turned back on. I actually video recorded what happens and sent it to Rogers when I was roaming. Once they saw it, they told me that any unintentional roaming charges will be credited back.
They did not tell me if it was a software issue or a roaming issue. However, I also tried the same setting using an old iPhone4S and a Samsung Galaxy S3 and both worked fine under the same conditions. That is, the settings were retained.
I am travelling with active roaming service with Airtel .
Was able to Latch in Brussels but as soon as reached in Latvia unable to connect to any network
Did all experiments of manual selection and restart and network reset.
Airtel customer service says all ok from their side.
Checked my phone says network not locked
Sim card works perfect in iPhone.
PLS HELP URGENT
Turn on the mobile data roaming option under Network and try keep your network under automatic
Did both of that
Still no success.
In that case turn off 'Choose automatically' in Wireless & networks -> Mobile network -> Carrier. See what networks your phone can find and try to connect to the same one that works with the other phone.
I screwed up my phone. I'm on Consumer Cellular on their T-Mobile version. If I go to *#*#4636#*#*- I get to the phone info page. In the middle of that page I fat-fingered the dropdown for "Set Preferred Network Type:" and I don't know what it should be. If I put "LTE Only" I have data and no voice service.
I'm running Lineage 8.1 so in the settings for the phone I have lots of options under "Network & Internet", "Mobile Network", "Advanced", "preferred network type" and this has other options.
I've tried all kinds of combinations and I either have LTE and can't make or receive calls, or I change it to something different and can make and receive calls but no data. When I make a call and hang up I don't have data anymore. I'm not sure what combination I should be using so I have data and also get calls.
Anyone running Lineage 8.1 on T-mobile? If so, what settings work for you?
Thanks in advance,
