Hi everyone. I have been doing a tonne of reading trying to figure out a couple of things for my Treo 750.
It is a Rogers phone for which I paid an online service provider to unlock. I am using my FIDO SIM in it without any problems.
It says I am always roaming and although assurances from FIDO I won't be charged Roaming fees, it gets kind of annoying everytime I check my email that it tells me I am roaming and asks if I am sure I want to do this....
So, I understand there is carrier specific info in the carrier.pxp file. I am told the Rogers network code is in this file.
Am I able to edit this to include the FIDO network code 302370 so the phone doesn't think it is always roaming?
Would it be better to unbrand / unlock the phone to WM6.1 via the methods I see here in the forums? [dubLeE's method].
Thanks everyone,
Ryan
It has nothing to do with your phone. It's the fact you are using the Fido GSM card on a Rogers network. It has nothing to do with whether your phone is locked or unlocked, and changing the carrier code won't do anything.
To disable the roaming network check when you check email, from Outlook Mobile go to Tools -> Options, choose the email account you've setup, then go to Send/Receive Schedule -> Advanced Settings -> check "Use automatic send / receive schedule when roaming"
Hi number16. Thanks for the reply.
The "Use automatic send / receive schedule when roaming" doesn't seem to prevent the "You are currently roaming. Synchronizing may result in additional charges" dialog box when the schedule is set to manual. In fact, the checkbox is greyed out and not selectable with a manual schedule. Even with an automated schedule configured, you are still prompted when doing a manual send/receive.
I was thinking that if the phone was configured such that it thought its' home network carrier code was the FIDO code, it wouldn't consider me roaming.
Anyways, sounds like I am stuck with it. Thanks again for the info
I have the exact same problem with my work Exchange email on a Rogers Touch Diamond. The roaming has to be defined by the ROM or registry. When I put my Fido SIM in a Rogers Samsung Jack flashed with the Fido ROM, there is no issue with roaming.
Hi there,
Same issue here, I am using my unlocked Treo 750 from Rogers on Bell network.
It works fine, except for the roaming issue.
How to get rid of that triangle icon on the top?
Were you able to edit the carrierDB.pxp file?
Please help.
Did you change your network settings over to the correct settings for the network of the SIM card you are using?
Unlocking a phone will allow other SIM cards to work, but if you don't change your network settings, then the phone will still try to connect to the Rogers network.
How do i unlock the network, i have a samsung corby phone which is rogers based and am using a fido sim card. Everything works except the internet which comes up as network error. please let me know if you can help. email- [email protected], thank you.

This is a Palm Treo 750 forum. You should find a forum specific to your handset for exact instructions.
In general, your phone probably has a 'Settings' menu which would have some sort of option to edit your network settings. That's where you would make the change. You would have to get the proper settings from Fido.

If I have the APN set to the one for the network of the SIM Card I am using then will I not get charged roaming?
Is it possible for it to actually be roaming and me not knowing about it?

Hi,
I'm in a similar situation to you. I assume you are able to make and receive calls?
I'm currently using a Droid 3 (from Verizon, XT862) in Australia.
I'm assuming it is already GSM unlocked, as I just put my SIM card into it and was able to make and receive phone calls and SMSs.
However, I am unable to get any sort of mobile data connection (besides WIFI).
I have tried tweaking the mobile network settings to use GSM/UMTS instead of Global network mode, but when I set up the APN...nothing happens.
I haven't tried I anything from that link from the other thread.
How do you go about changing the build. prop and adding
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
?
Thanks.
Yes I can make and receive calls fine.

Gsm data is controlled via the apns under mobile networks. Ensure you are in gsm/umts mode and verify the correct apn is selected for your carrier. If there are no apns, hit menu > add apn and supply proper settings, they are either preloaded on the sim or listed on the carrier site. A quick google will also provide the correct info.
Also under data management, ensure data is enabled over mobile network. ##program ONLY changes cdma programming.
I've checked those and.the proper APNs are there. Also in UMTS mode.

How did you change the build.prop setting?
When I use a selected APN I get the same as you:
GSM Disconnects: Data State: DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at 9:59AM fail because No Error
Do you think it could be a problem with the radio?
If we flashed the XT883 radio, would that solve anything? or is it just an APN problem?

Edited the build.prop file. Not working either.

There should be absolutely no problem with GSM/UMTS data connection and MMS with unlocked xt862, just enter apn manually and go.
My personal butthurt is EV-DO with non-Verizon CDMA networks as it's really the issue even if you try to hack as the phones with the same Qualcomm chipsets like Droid 2 Global.
I've became real expert in flashing CDMA settings and real guru in tweaking props and rils. But it doesn't help.
I say no Moto and no Android anymore. I'm going to buy WP8 handset as soon as it become available with CDMA. F**k Moto and Google, long live Microsoft which never disappointed me with WM handsets.

First off I would assume you network unlocked the phone first correct? Make sure you have the correct APN settings set that allow you to receive messages on Page Plus. Check out this video on how to add APN's in Android or this article. These page plus APN settings should help you get MMS back http://pageplusdealer.com/PagePlus/catalog/DataSettings.php. Also check out Cyanogenmod's master APN list it has a ton of APN's for various carriers you can likely find it in there. Let me known if you need any more help .
thanks for replying
Unlock the phone? Im not sure. I get calls and sms fine.

I think you may have went into the phones storage settings by mistake not the APN settings. To acess APN settings should be under settings->Wirless and Networks->Mobile Networks->APN's.

He didn't go to storage settings. I have Verizon Wireless, but still retain a legacy Alltel plan that I had before VZW bought Alltel out. Android phones with normal Verizon Wireless plans have the options of "Automatic" and "Home Only" In Settngs>Mobile Networks>Select Network. Also, in About Phone>Status under "Network" it unsurprisingly says "Verizon Wireless."
However, Mine and the other phone on this plan have differed from the above because in our two phone's settings>mobile networks>Select networks, we have three options:"Automatic A," "Automatic B," and "Home Only." (Always defaults to Automatic B, incidently) On top of that, in About Phone>Status, under "Network" instead of saying "Verizon Wireless", it always says "Unknown."
Nobody at Verizon was ever able to give me a clear or concise explanation as to why exactly those settings are different. Obviously it has something to do with the Alltel plan, but the plan name is merely just a way of Verizon keeping track of how to bill me. I still am on Verizon's network. (Alltel no longer even operates in my state), So, I've always been curious as to the technical reasoning for this variation from all other phones. Hell, nobody was ever even able to explain what "Automatic A and B" even are.
Anyway, I was just browsing these forums for old time sake after finding my OG Droid under the seat of my car, which had been missing for months, and thought I should clarify what this gentleman meant by A and B.

Automatic A, and Automatic B refer to analog (AMPS) and digital (CDMA), at the time right before the merger with Verizon Alltel was using both analog and digital operating on the 800 MHz band. However, they were forced to phase these out due to 3G 1xEV-DO being implemented across essentially 100% of the cellular market, also Verizon was forced to get rid of this as well to move toward launching there 4G LTE network. Check out this article for more information, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alltel#Network_technology.
Hey guys,
I bought a Nexus 6 two months ago while I was on T-Mobile. I got fed up with T-Mobile service (constantly dropping calls, not receiving all text messages, etc) and decided to switch to Verizon. I took my phone to Verizon last night, they scanned it and gave me a nano SIM. I was surprised how easy it was, given the headaches others have seemed to endure trying to get a Verizon SIM. Everything seemed to work on Verizon's end, according to the person who helped me.
The problem is, I can't get LTE to work with voice/text. If I go to Settings -> More -> Cellular Networks -> Preferred Network Type, I have 3 options to choose from: Global, LTE/CDMA, LTE/GSM/UMTS. If I select LTE/GSM/UMTS, I get LTE data, but I can't send/receive calls or texts. If I select Global or LTE/CDMA, I can send/receive calls and texts but I only get 3g data. If I go to Phone Info (*#*#4636#*#*) and set network type to LTE Only, the same thing happens...LTE data only, but no calls/texts.
This is about the limit of my ability to troubleshoot problems. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Did you properly configure the APN settings for Verizon? Your problem may be with that. Do a Google search for Verizon APN settings for Nexus 6...your answer may lie there.
most people have to factory reset their phones when going from another carrier to verizon, to get lte to work properly.

There were about 50 APNs when I checked. I deleted all of them and created a new one based on the following:
Name: Verizon
APN: vzwinternet
MMSC: mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms (with http, but won't let me post when typed out)
MMS port: 80
APN type: default,supl,mms
Everything else was left default. Restarted my phone. I am still only getting 3g on Global and LTE/CDMA, still can't make calls with LTE/GSM/UMTS.

I did a factory data reset this morning.
There are at least 5 - and as much as 10 - APN setting setups for Verizon. You may have to try them all. I put a Verizon Sim in my N6 and they all showed up in the list of APNs. When you deleted them you may have deleted the one most compatible with the N6. You may have to reset, put back in the Verizon Sim, and hope they all repopulate the APN section. If not, you'll have to search for them all and try each setup.
I can reset the default APNs and they will all show up again...without having to factory reset.
Do I need to reset the phone without the Verizon SIM inserted? I left the SIM inside when I reset this morning. I only ask because you mentioned resetting the phone and then re-inserting the Verizon SIM.
Thanks for your help.
I generally remove Sims and SD cards (not applicable here) when doing a reset as my line of precaution. Since you are able to restore the default APNs, do so, and try each one till you get the proper one.
Tmobile has their own software version/radio pushed out to Nexus 6's. You can try loading the Verizon software version/radio and see if it works.
Try this one: http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-6/shamu/vzw/

I found the problem. When the Verizon rep installed the sim, she immediately dialed *228. After googling LTE problems, I've found out that *228 on a LTE phone is a very bad thing. I got a new SIM and everything is now working.
Thanks again!

This is not mine, I take no credit, Mayrer has done most of the hard work for us, you credit him for his work and everyone he has worked on to get your Sprint to working for GSM.

I have only updated the information for changing in hidden menu and PropEditor. I also credit the maker for the CDMA to GSM Patch, Mentor.37 for his work and everyone else who has helped him.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394689
I do not know if this will work for any other Sprint phone not on ZV6
Bands 2, 4, 12 are for bands T-Mobile.
Download PropEditor and edit these settings....Don't forget this step first!!
ro.build.target_operator=SPR => TMO
ro.build.target_country=US
ro.telephony.default_network => 9
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice => 0 ....don't forget to save and reboot.
Along with Hidden Menu 5689#*991# to change your APN settings properly and set
Field Test => Modem Settings =>
PDP Setting => [5] APN Setting ...... now you have to select the bottom one then go into menu [ ] press until you see delete APN
you must do this because a bug I am seeing only allows the bottom APN setting to be used, I usually delete all until the APN I use is on the very bottom selection. no go back
Network Mode = Automatic => go back => RAT Selection = GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
LTE Band Selection doesn't work proplerly so installing the modded Shortcut Master (Lite) from the link above be sure to go to
lotHiddenMenuMain (witout root) => LTE setting=> LTE Data Roam Config....and enable
Bar Roam Forced
Bar Roam Enabled
Roam Guard Forced
Roam Guard Enabled
Band 2
Band 4
Band 12 go back
Band 25 should be disabled unless you can use it. You cannot really set APN here.
I sometimes install the CDMA to GSM patch for global phones but I then have to re-do the PropEditor settings again, but it may be able to configure anything else that is missing, you can try to Adb Sideload the zip or use FlashGordon app to try to install, honestly I don't know if either worked for me for the patch.
This is what I configure to get my phone to working with T-Mobile.
I only submit this, I cannot provide support, you can always add on to anything else I may have missed or messed up, thank you.
Has anybody with an LG G4 rom version ZVG been able to successfully get their phone working on T-Mobile?
My phone is paid off and Sprint sent the domestic SIM unlock code. When the TMO sim is in and the phone's network mode is set to Auto, and and APN is manually entered per TMobile's specs, the phone can connect to the network and make calls, send SMS, connect to EDGE data, and sometimes send MMS, but it never connects to LTE. If I change the network mode to LTE/CDMA, the phone doesn't connect at all.
I read elsewhere to try change the "Bearer" field in the APN to "LTE" but that field is not displayed or editable in the APN input/edit screen. I tried a bunch of the Shortcut Master (Lite) or similar ways to expose the hidden menus to edit the full APN but they all fail due to permissions (because of ZVG version?). Shortcut Master (Lite) says it would work if upgraded to the paid Secret Codes version, can anybody verify that before I pay?
Or, any other suggestions to get this fully working with LTE or can even confirm that this is possible?
guys this is kinda old news
the build prop also is better set from
ro.build.target_operator=SPR => OPEN
then xposed modules such as android theme and such work.
but great find on thew band settings
ive been running my g2 g3 and g4 on tmobile and att and its subsidiaries for a long times now
and the g series sprint phones have been the best at taking to other networks due to the sprints already supporting most of the bands`
---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------
request for modderators to move this thread to the general area
i also thin the mellow mallow international roms go up to zvb which should work on tmobile and i can verify att networks
Doesn't the phone need to be rooted for the build prop to be edited?
And as far as I can tell, there isn't a root for a G4 on ZVG firmware?
Basically, to start with, can anybody confirm if a LS991 ZVG can be made to work on TMobile without root, or if there is a good rooting method, where is it?
Thanks.

Can you be more specific on what I need to ask Sprint about? Like I said, I asked for the the Domestic Sim Unlock and they sent that over the air and a confirmation showed up on the phone. It does not reject the T-Mobile SIM like it would normally, so something has changed from the default state.
Still looking for confirmation from somebody that has successfully connected their ZVG LS991 to TMO after a Domestic Sim Unlock.

tell them the situation u paid it off they sent u the unlock code but are still unable to edit the apn without the msl
