[A] How to select network automatically - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is for me who came back from Dubai and found my stupid captivate would not connect back to AT&T network.
I could not change the network as default setup was greyed out and phone gave continued warning could not connect to etisalat ( dubai provider).
I found out through a lot of hard searching that I needed to use samservmode from the market then
DEBUG SCREEN > PHONE CONTROL > NETWORK CONTROL -> PLMN AUTO/MANUAL set to AUTO
That fixed it and got me back on AT&T.
Hope this helps someone and saves them time.

Stock Telstra ROM Issue...

Does somone know how to solve this issue?
When I trigger an email update on the phone I continually get a warning asking me if I am okay with using data while roaming?!?!?!
Does the phone automatically think I am roaming because it is Australian? Is there a Windows Mobile Setting somewhere where I can define that my home market is Canada?
Some help here would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in Advance...
you might try going into the account setup on the automatic send/receive page under advanced settings there is an option to use automatic send/receive schedule when roaming
Thanks for this response...I was hoping for a setting that would change the phone to make Canada as my home market...I am also getting SMS messages showing time 3hrs behind me (i.e. USA West Coast Time...)
Thanks Again, help anyone?!?!?!
Settings -> Regional Settings
Try changing that to your own country?
I wouldn't know otherwise.
Not particularly familiar with Telstra issuses, my phone was from UK running a standard rom with no carrier customisations/carrier lock and running on Optus HSDPA.
Never have these problems - I know i still roam onto the Telstra network eg is train tunnels etc.
Try using the in the Settings/Control Panel -> Connenctions-> Connection Setup. Country = Au, Operator = Telstra.
But I'm not sure if you have that icon since you are carrier locked (i'm guessing) to tel$cum.
If no one else is replying because its a region/carrier/rom specific issue try asking the question @ http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/

G1 Help Help Help G1 says no service when im home but when I'm moving to any other place other than my house I have service what's wrong with my phone cause I used to get perfect service where is the antenna on a g1
could that there's no signal at your home. ?
go to wireless settings, scroll down to Mobile Network settings, make sure data is enabled, select network operators. let it load while it searched networks. att and tmo pops up, select your network, most likely tmo, and reboot.
You might have to select the Network in the setting. I had similar problem and I went in to select my network and it gave me signal.
EDIT: Default is uncheck.

good idea
My wife 3G sim works on my tab, going back to the shop as it is the sim car the problem, not the tab
thanks again
Glad it was that and not the precious tab.
Bad Karma
I have finally a Data only 3G simcard, it works on a phone and on a demo galaxy tab in orange shop
but can't get it to work on my tab
can still get internet with the voice and 3G of my wife!!
do I need to flash an orange image ???
No, you need to change a setting.
Google "apn setting orange france broadband"
Go to settings, wireless networks, mobile networks, access point names,
You will have to add the settings you got from google: menu, add new access point.
Fill in the values. Menu, save, reboot.
When the tab starts, go to that apn and select it. Wait a few, then go back one screen, and select your sim card carrier.
You could also go to the demo tab and copy the settings into your tab, or from your wifes phone.
Found out that
IF the wifi is ON then the 3G is OFF
IF the wifi is OFF then the 3G is ON
so working now, end of game
Oops. Good find. Enjoy.

[Q] Is there a way to disable roaming?

I have a quite rare problem. I'm in Ireland and use 3 operator. It does not have coverage on many places and it has some kind of contract with o2, so whenever the signal it lost, phone automatically switches to o2. Problem is when I'm back in place with full 3 coverage again, WP does not switch back. I have to select network manually several times a day. It's very annoying. Is there an option somewhere in settings to disable roaming completely? I found it only for data but I need it for calls. Phone is Lumia 920.
Thanks

I imagine specifying your network provider as "3 IRELAND" or whatever it's called will stop it from connecting to O2? The setting is under Mobile Network (under the roaming options, at the bottom) and is set to "automatic" by default.

First thing I tried, but it did not help. Maybe problem is that the other network has same name - probably to ensure seamless switch. (it's actually Vodafone, sorry for my mistake: http://www.vodafone.ie/aboutus/media/press/show/BAU002953.shtml )

I'm not saying I'll be able to help, but could you elaborate a little on why roaming comes into this? Are you changing countries between two places where the operator is called "Vodafone"?

No I don't. It's actually a funny thing. I live in Dublin and yet you can find here many places without signal coverage. I think, but not exactly sure that 3 is the last operator who entered on a market here, so it does not have proper infrastructure and negotiated with Vodafone national roaming for places where native 3 signal is not available. In general it's not a big problem, you can make calls like in your home network, price is same, you can even see on your phone you are connected to 3 network but with a roaming. (because in fact you are connected to Vodafone)
I'm trying to disable roaming completely because mobile data on the roaming are just GPRS while in native 3, you got 3G.
It would not mind me if phone would automatically switch back on 3 when available. (when I had WP 7 it was doing like this) But now with WP8 the behavior seems to be changed and as soon as it enters the roaming it never reverts back to native network unless I manually select the 3network again.

[Q] Cynogenmod on Verizon; SMS and data work, but no voice

Now that you fine folks got s-off working on version 4.4.2 for the HTC One, I was able to put Cyanogenmod on it today. Things seem to work okay, except for the one glaring issue: I can't use the phone to make or get calls. If I look at Settings->About Phone->Status, I get this:
Network - Verizon Wireless
Mobile network type - LTE
Service state - Voiceut of Service / Data: In Service
Roaming - Not roaming
Mobile network state - Disconnected
I suspect that I might have the wrong "Mobile networks" settings in the Settings->Wireless & Networks->More section. For the Preferred network type, I selected "GSM/WCDMA/LTE", but I've tried a few others with no positive effects. For System Select, I'm set to Home Only. If I try to search for available networks, it returns an error and doesn't find any.
Any ideas? Thanks!
I was reading more into this, and people on Sprint found this issue when using Cyanogenmod last summer. I don't know if a solution was found, but the workaround was switching the network type to CDMA only, and then switching "back." The "back" is the key for me (I hope). What should it be set to? I don't remember what it was before I started messing around. It may have been global, but I tried that to no avail. Does anyone have a minute to pop into their settings and check? Thanks!
