Data and roaming Icon - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I purchased Xperia z1 recently. Mobile is working nice. I got problem when I was on roaming when data is enabled.
Data connected symbol(E, 3G,H or H+) is overlapped by The roaming symbol (R). I can see only two down and up arrows which blinks while browsing.
I cant figure out if mobile is connected to 2G or 3G.
In samsung mobiles it shows data connected at left side of network signal and roaming icon as triangle.
Is there any solution for this?.

How to disable roaming detect function on Diamond?

Hi to all guys,
Recently, I ported my number on to 3(UK) network. But I found when the signal changes from 3G to 2G, my phone will be considered as roaming. Then the DATA(GPRS or 3G) is disconnected.
3G signal coverage of 3(UK) is poor, and roaming ICON suddenly appears and suddenly disappears even when I am walking on the street.
Any way to disable roaming detect function, so that I can be online all the time. Thanks.

Which icon are you referring to, and what is the icon that you are seeing now?
See here for the list of the icons:

What i get at the moment is the Signal strength icon which sometime has a Small H with it, I also get the Wif and Battery Icon but i don't get, EDGE, 3G, Sending and downloading 3G data, Sending and downloading EDGE data,
I get all other notification icons appearing like email etc, but no Status Icons for 3G or Edge.
I just wondered if they had been turned off somewhere..? But i can't find any options for them. I dunno if they are in the build prop like the NFC icon i set this to true and that now appears.
Network icons:
H or H+: you're connected to 3.5G / UMTS network.
3G: you're connected to 3G network.
E: you're connected to EDGE network.
Each icon will appear depends on what network you're connected to. And they will NOT appear when you're connected to wifi.
About the data upstream / downstream indicators, look for small upwards and downwards triangle under the network icons (of course when you're not connected to wifi).

"!" icon on network connection, still have data

So this morning i noticed on my way to work that my cell network icon has a "!" mark next to it, with no indication of the connection type (LTE, H ect). at first i thought it was because i had no internet connection for some reason, however, when i pull the notification shade down i see the icon for network connection has the connection type (says LTE) as well as the "!". So the notification shade had LTE and the ! while the status bar icon only had the "!". I confirmed that access to the internet was fine by checking websites and running speed tests. Anyone experience this issue?

I did as I posted in my other thread about this. Now if there is a way to put my Preferred Network Type back to "Global" instead of LTE (recommend) I switched it because I thought I had no internet either until it showed LTE on the notification shade too.
Looks like it was a problem with tmobile this morning, back to normal now

Anyway I can get my Preferred network thingy to show up as "Global" again? and not LTE (preferred)

4G not enabled when wi-fi is on

HI all,
On february 16 my provider network SFR (French in Paris) had some issues, I lost my gsm and 4G and since I can't turn on 4G and Wi-Fi on my HTC at the same time as I used to do before, now the 4G icon disappear when the Wi-Fi is turned on and I can read " Use my data plan when Wi-Fi isn't available" instead of "connected".
It seems that the 4G is in sleep mode, the icon comes again and data "connected" if I receive or send a MMS then disappear again.
If the wi-fi is turned off, I have the data "connected" with the 4G icon, as usual.
I have reset the SFR apn, still same, I have contacted their support, they say that it's normal for a smartphone to use Wi-Fi and not 4G all together, but I did when i wanted !
Now I can't, is any of u had this problem, know the cause and how to solve it?
Thank u in advance.
Do you have an option of automitically connect to 4G when wi-fi is poor turned on? It is in wi-fi's advanced options

3G reception with Wifi on

Whenever I turn on the Wifi on my Nokia 8 and connect to any wifi hotspot whilst my phone is on 3G UMTS, the 'Mobile network type' under SIM status (found in About phone -> Status) would show 'IWLAN'. My mobile signal app (Network Signal Info by Kaibits) would not show any network mode.
I must note that I have no trouble receiving or making calls on 3G whilst leaivng Wifi on. However, I do not have VoWifi (Voice over Wifi) enabled, and Telstra (my carrier) does not support VoWifi on the Nokia 8.
What's happening here?
I have this behavior as well. I assumed that the modem is kicking down to the lower speed data network to save power. As soon as I turn WiFi off, it switches back to the faster data network.
