I live in Canada and have a Fido SIM card. When Rogers and Fido merged, the old Fido network ID (302-370) was made defunct so that the only GSM network available is the Rogers one (302-720).
As I am a Fido customer, it means that my Kaiser believes that it is always roaming as 302-370 is my home network and I can't use the roaming-based data rules to manage my data charges when I'm truly roaming.
Is there a way to add 302-720 as a "home network" as far as the Kaiser is concerned? Is this defined in the registry or in the ROM?
I am currently using the stock HTC ROM.
Thanks.
Its defined on the Sim card, just call Rogers and tell them what happened, and Im sure that they'll send you a new card with 302-720 as a home network.
Otherwise, I dont wanna be a Canadian Idiot! (LOL at Wierd Al for his song...)
Eh?
I've been in touch with both the regular customer service people and their "network people". They are either unable or unwilling to make that change for me. It is possible that they use the SIM's home network as a key to decide which back-end database they reference. Although they merged the two GSM networks, they still operate as two separate companies (apart from the price collusion, of course).
Yesterday, I even bought a new latest-generation SIM card to replace my ancient one thinking that it may fix the problem. No luck - it still uses the Fido network id.
So, as the SIM card is stuck the way it is, I need a way to override my Kaiser's opinion that the Rogers network is a roaming one.
I have a really similar problem, plus another one which might be related.
I am in the UK and on the "Three" network, they are mainly a 3G network and i'm not sure but they might not have 'any' 2G transmitters. So when I have 3G coverage there is no roaming icon and everything works fine.
If however I am in a 2G area and using their roaming partner (not sure who yet, possibly Orange) the GPRS will not work unless I go in and tell the phone to search for a network automatically then make a connection straight away. It says there is GPRS signal and connects but I can't actually transfer any data. The GSM standard phone calls and TXT messages work fine without doing that.
If anyone does have an answer on how to add additional home networks I would be gratefull to know too.
I have the same problem with Fido; however, when I put my SIM into a Samsung Jack flashed with Fido ROM, the roaming problem is gone. The Samsung Jack was from Rogers. This leads me to believe that the roaming is somehow set by the ROM.
I don't believe there is anyway you are going to be able to make the Rogers network not think you are a Rogers customer through a registry hack.
Maybe you can find a work around by using those dialing rules?
And the only real fix is to bite the bullet and switch over to a Rogers contract.
Switching over to Rogers will resolve the roaming issue and will finally be rid of the text from 18 for voicemail; however, I don't want to lose my old City Fido plan.
i also face same problem any solution guy's ?
hi guys
there is a problem need u help
I brought a m110s I9k's Kroean version
It said that it support to work in edge network
but whatever any roms ,there is only G!
i want to konw why?!!!!
and how to slove it
THX!
that sounds like an area reception problem
G (GPRS) and 2G (EDGE) they both run on the international quad band 850/900/1900/2100
I'm a little confused, you have 3g working but you'd rather have edge? 3g is the faster network and possibly the stronger signal, so your phone would prefer to connect to that network. If you are using an older firmware you can play around with the secret codes found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721111&highlight=Secret+codes
best code for you to check out would probably be *#*#4636#*#* however Samsung removed or broke these codes 1 or 2 firmware updates ago. Also, you can look into the wireless and network settings and go to the bottom and turn off 3g. Please note that the phone and/or some carriers might not allow data over 2g, I know my carrier doesn't and this phone is designed to be optimized for SKT.
Please let me know if I'm confused about your question and i'll try to rephrase If I can better help you.

thanks 4 u answer,but my operator——China Mobile is support another 3G，TD-SCDMA，so i can‘t use wcdma。and CM is supply edge，so i don’t why，maybe samsung block it。
I was confused because I thought you were connected to "G" (I thought you saw a "G" on your notification bar). Have you tried to disable "3G", this might be able to force you onto an edge network, I don't think it'll work, but it's worth a try if the code I mentioned doesn't work.
Go to settings > wireless & network > 3G data call settings > select "no"

i want to know dose m110s support EDGE in China?
i see that in #*4636#,the network type is GPRS,how to change in EDGE?
even if you managed to change the settings to EDGE, it wont work
if GPRS is the fastest service provided by the cell phone network
last time i was visiting Cuba, their fastest network wsa only GPRS

As far as I know, it was blocked, and not without support。
The problem is how to get his support, the same as moto xt701。
maybe it as same as xt701,like you said.
change the radio band maybe will slove the problem ,take it from the euro band or hk band

I didn't see this post from you, you can access settings I can't so we are probably on different FW versions DONT UPDATE:
Try these codes to see if you can update the band

Doesn't china use different gsm networks?
I am having problems with internet all together. I have the Anycall Korean Samsung Galaxy S shw-m110s but I live in the United States and use AT&T but cannot seem to get the internet to work. I entered the correct APN settings but cannot even get an EDGE signal. Anyone have any ideas?
Can any one help to transplant baseband from i9000 to m110s?
Because EDGE is so important for China Mobile. It is hard to afford WCDMA. Thanks!
Hi,
I would like to be able to modify my AT&T radio and change the default Mobile Network Code for my carier, is there any software to make easy to modify the ROM file ?
Thank
I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking, but a radio will work on various different networks, depending on which SIM card you have in the phone. So I'm not sure that it's in the radio that you need to look.
What is it that you're trying to achive exactly, why do you want to change this code ?
Well, here is my problem;
I bought a Tilt 2 on ebay, and I also get an Unlock code for it. I have inserted my Bell SIM and the phone work correctly. I have configured the APN setting correctly and now I have internet without any problem.
The only bad thing is that the phone always think i'm in roaming, but that's not true. I have to deactivate all setting about roaming check, it's not a big thing but If I got to USA I will be charged for real roaming. and another downside is that many application pup info about roaming and data charge.
I'm searching since couple days to found a solution, and I'm pretty there is one but I have not enough knowledge on programming stuff. I've look all every registry in my phone and no one can't correct this ''roaming'' situation.
That's why im turning to Radio, since this phone is an AT&T, it's propbably seaching to compare SIM network provided and ROM network. I've found an interesting site about MMC/MNC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
and found that the default network for AT&T is 310-410. Here in Canada We have bell and telus that use same technology then AT&T (UMTS 850 / UMTS 1900).
I would like to change the default ''home'' network code to 302-880. because my Sim Provided IMSI is 302-610 (Bell).
So to make it short. I want to change the default ''HOME'' network 310-410 to 302-880 so the phone will not be in a roaming profile.
Hope that someone can help me, and I'm pretty sure many people will appreciate this fix.
Thank You.
I don't know much about this, but surely it's your SIM card that is providing this code ? Since I could buy an unlocked Tilt 2 and put my own SIM card in it, and use it fine here in the UK on a UK network.
I can't believe that your phone thinks it's roaming just because it's a Tilt 2.
Yes, I found in my registry ProvidedIMSI="302610" that is the SIM registred network 302610 Bell HSPA network. So my SIM is telling the phone to use this network, but there is something in the phone that say it's roaming and not a home network. and I need to find and change this.
I'm not the only one in this situation and i would like to find a fix.
i have no knowledge about this only thing i can think of at the moment is just change the current radio version and flash a new rom. the latest version for radio is
4.49.25.95
and is found here ------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939
follow the right steps. [:d]
best of luck
Yes, I've updated the Radio to the latest version and still have the problem of ROAMING. i've try 2 old radio and always got the roaming icon.
Any other input will be accepted!!
Thanks

I read somewhere that roaming starts when you are out of your area code range.
But you can try this too
go to ------> setting ---> personal ------> phone -------> Network (in the bottom tabs)
In the network tab click Find Network and make sure it is the same network you are using.
Network selection should be "Automatic".
Now in next tab BAND
select network type to "GSM" and GSM/UMTS band to "Auto".
Try this and let me know if this work else i will ask somebody knowledgeable like Sir Phunkee

I've play with these setting and nothing seem to work.
But maybe I found something interesting.
I've just test the phone with a ROGERS SIM card and I get 3G signal and i'm NOT in roaming mode..
Now, What that mean ? Rogers 3G is UMTS/HSPA 850/1900MHz same as BELL.
Why it say Roaming when phone is connected to BELL with BELL Sim and not on ROGERS SIM??
Could someone help me with that ? fix, cab, anything ?
Thanks
rooming
Hi
I do not know think you want to do with your tilt 2
Why you don't do a hard SPL and install a cocked rom !! as energy
I am using a tilt purchased from AT&T without contract
I get a unlock cod from the internet then I do a hard SPL it and install the energy rom in, is work like a charm with Rogers, without any problem( only the gps wish I never try
Perhaps this is can resolve your problem you should try
thanks
Already done Cjoco My Tilt 2 is Unlocked and Hard-SPL with latest EnergyROM.
Like I said before, SIM ROGERS work like a charm in my phone, No roaming warning. but with BELL and TELUS SIM I get the Roaming notif but it's not true, Im connected to BELL and VOICE,DATA,etc. work #1.
People say that it work with ROGERS because this carrier have a fallback signal if 3G is not available, with BELL if I lose 3G signal my phone doesn't work.

then i think problem is with your sim card not with your phone. Just get your sim card replaced and i am sure the problem would be resolved.
the problem may be with his sim card, but im not sure replacing it will fix anythibng. im also with bell and have the same problem on my fuze.
bios2k, how old is your sim card?
bobzero My SIM card is 2 Week Old. so, i'm not sure it because my SIM is old.
I'll give a call at tech support @ BELL to see if they know why it doing this. I'm not sure if they will be enough good to explain this situation.
I've read last night on many forums the RILPHONE.DLL could be a possible cause of our problem.
In my config I can select GSM(850,1700) + UMTS(850,1700) but there is no option to select UMTS only. so maybe the phone is searching for GSM first (rogers) that's why when I insert a ROGERS SIM my phone is not roaming.
Is there a way I can extract RILPHONE.DLL for our EnergyROM or Stock Tilt 2 rom. Maybe I can ask a Programmer to take a look at this DLL to see the code.
I'll let you know.
I've just talk with BELL technical support and they have no idea why I'm the phone say it's in ROAMING. I've talk to the billing department and they say I don't have any ROAMING fees, so nothing to worry about..
Now, I'm still at the same state = no solution
Same here.
I was checking around and found many got this problem, including BBs. Now, some claimed that after upgrading the O/S for his BB, it went away. Another person with different device upgraded his O/S and started having that problem, and it wasn't there with stock ROM.
Make me think it has to do with the software side of thing and nothing to do with SIM or radios. To pinpoint what is causing it, can be a tough task though.
scooper True, Hard task for people that don't know much about programming ROM and files, but maybe we can have help from other that wanna look at our problem.
I'm available to test if someone want to Help us .

You should try to change the radio and rom of your phone. Make sure to Task 29 b4 flashing. Another thing to make sure is you use the right radio, i mean the specific radio for telus, t-mobile or att.....
Wrong radio can also cause such problems.
I have the same issue with my Unlocked Tilt2 on Telus. I found a lot of people with unlocked winmo devices on bell/telus complaining of this problem and never have seen a solution. People say that a Fido sim will do the same thing. Only Rogers sims seem to not show roaming. PLEASE post if you find the solution or even cause of this.
I just did task29 and reflash ROM. I soon as I have the main menu Roaming Icon appear on top just beside or 3G.
Damn!! still stock with this roaming issue
anyone have Q's ?
Ok, so I know it's not the csc, or the rom, or the apn settings, or the modem, or the band selection. It's not an app, or even a signal issue. It's not the service or network selection. Wiping didn't help nor did a factory reset. Every time my phone connects to an edge network, it won't connect to an hsdpa network without me going into settings, wireless and network, mobile networks, wcdma only and then back to gsm and wcdma. Any suggestions?
Anyone that comes up with a half-way decent suggestion gets a Thank You....
I'm guessing that no one has come across this before? It's not like it won't connect to HSDPA, it's just that it won't connect automatically. Believe me when I say, I've searched samsunggalaxysforum, google, and xda for a solution so I don't think this is a problem that has been posted here as of yet. Forgive me if it is and lead me to it....
Bump.
I don't think enough people have seen it before it slips into the nether regions of the forum.
I changed HSDPA revision to option 2 in band selection (HSDPA/no HSUPA). It worked off of airplane mode, which it hadn't done before but the same issue persists. When I get to work (where there is a clear HSDPA signal) from home (also clear HSDPA) it's on EDGE. During travel or when the HSDPA signal is not available, it'll just stay on that **** EDGE network even when I get to an HSDPA area.
Same problem on a clean stock rom ???
jje
Come to think of it, I'm not sure. HSDPA is new where I live but not where I work. I did, however, do a repartition in Odin of the JS3 firmware and then a wipe with Darky's 9.2 and 9.3. Of course I didn't really stick with JS3 for very long before flashing to Darky's ROM but this isn't a problem inherent in the ROM itself or others would have reported it. Furthermore, I've switched between kernels, file systems and modems and yet the problem persists. I haven't enabled any tweaks with any kernel I've used either so that shouldn't be an issue, should it?
Maybe try this.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* ->
Go to Phone Information -> and perhaps play with the Preferred network type?
If noen of your efforts have resulted in anything meaningful, the suspicion goes to your operator.
Hope this helps.
i have the exact same issue although 3G is available in my area when it once logs into edge mode it doesnt wanna change it. only when i restart the phone it logs onto 3G again.
pretty annoying
maik
You can go into wireless and settings, network settings, wcdma only, and then back to wcdma and gsm and it'll connect to 3g or H. At least that way you don't have to restart the phone every time it does it. The main thing is finding out what can fix the issue.
For some reason, the phone information settings don't stick. I've tried to use wcdma preferred but it just goes right back. The other code settings, on the other hand, work just fine.

I'm wondering if it may be a sim card problem rather then a phone problem. I'm thinking I should try my girlfriend's sim. I'll report back when I see if that's the problem. It'll be after work though so feel free to come up with other suggestions. I plan to do a write up in general, [resolved] if we figure out the problem so people with this issue can know what to do.

Not the sim. I also contacted my service provider to get a push of their latest update with tower location, it's not prl on gsm it's id-something-something. No change there really as far as the signal issue goes. I also checked my provider website just to see how much data I had used, not even close to the cap on unlimited.
I think i'll have to try a flash on odin with repartition to a stock firmware and then work my way back to see what may have caused the problem. It's a shame, really since everything else on the phone works phenomenally, it just won't auto connect to hsdpa which is spotty in my home and work area so it's a bigger pain in the neck then it needs to be if it won't switch between the two on it's own.

Hi All,
Here's my roaming dilemma. There's an R beside the signal frequency and it won't go away.
Relevant information;
I have recently switched from CM7 to CM9 for the captivate. i'm using the latest version (14). from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
I'm on a Canadian network with a company called Fido, which is owned by Rogers. My APN is set to "Fido Default" and my network is Rogers. this would NOT be roaming since it's the same company.
i ran the phone info using *#*#4636#*#* and it says "Roaming: Roaming" essentially the roaming is ON.
After this i downgraded back to CM7 and tried running the same options. the result was identical. APN is "Fido Default", network is Rogers BUT in phone info it says "Roaming: not Roaming". Essential the roaming is OFF, which is correct, there was never an "R" beside the signal strength in CM7.
Can anybody please help me, i'm not sure if there's a setting that i'm missing or dont know about. or this could possibly be just a bug with CM9.
Since i'm new to this forum i don't have my min 10 posts to post in the development side so i've had to post here.
If there's any more details that you need me to check to give you the relevant info plz let me know and i will get hat asap.
thx
EK
I wonder if it is just a quirk in how it recognizes the network. I have an AT&T Microcell and, while it shows my carrier as "Microcell" on Samsung-based ROMs, it just shows "AT&T" on CM7 and CM9. Not the same issue, of course, but there is apparently some control in the ROM or kernel on how networks are displayed. If you don't get any hits here, report it in the CM9 forum once you have enough posts and see if anyone has any ideas.
well my phone is originally AT&T, and when it turn on the AT&T logo and everything is still there. so it could be still a weird way it recognizes it.
fixed. figured out all i needed was a new modem.
