National roaming gone in 5.1.1? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On KitKat there used to be an option in Settings -> More -> Mobile networks called "National roaming" which enabled using data from other national cell operators.
However in 5.1.1 that option is gone. I skipped 5.0, so maybe it wasn't there either.
Anyway to re-enable it? Perhaps different firmware version still have it?
Using build 23.4.A.1.232 CE1

mobile data not working after 201 manual flashed update

I got tired of waiting for the UK unbranded 201 Rom to be released so I flashed the CE1 version (central europe)
I've now noticed my mobile data is always disconnected. I get a phone signal as normal and can make calls but I can't get internet u.less I'm using a WiFi connection.
I've gone in the settings and made sure everything.g is enabled, but still nothing.
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix?
Thanks
Go to settings > Network and Wireless > More... > Mobile network > Accespoints or APN and see if this is empty or not.

Enhanced 4G LTE Services

Running Safestrap with NF6 custom rom.
Today flipping through the "Mobile Network" settings, the "VoLTE" option changed to "Enhanced 4G LTE Services". "Enhanced 4G LTE mode" is checked. The description says "Turns on enhanced voice and communications using LTE data (Recommended)". It used to be "current firmware version does not support..." when I check the VoLTE box. Does anyone know what exactly does it mean?
And how does AT&T get into my phone when I run safestrap with custom rom?

I'm also wondering if this setting impacts negatively LTE speeds. On a stock ROM taken from the 2.23.5.2.3 RUU, this option doesn't even appear, and I can easily get 40Mbs down. On another ROM, taken from the same stock update, the option is there and selected by default and cannot be de-selected. The most I can get is 5Mbs, which is basically HSPA.

[Q] Roaming CM11 KK 4.4.4

I do not know if you know but in Play (PL) can use packet data on other networks, but I think our CM11 is not working. I was once at a point to ask why the phone. still uses the T-Mobile network and the guy told me it's good and that I turn on roaming I will be able to use a data packet with my wife on the nexus 4 running on our CM11 but probably not. I went to settings> mobile networks> roaming data and does not work; / I will add to the on stocku worked without a problem

Roaming is network dependant, it's not just a feature.
Since it's a paid feature it is often blocked at carrier level

Android 5.1.1. Update Disables Mobile Data (D5803)

Hello,
I recently updated my Z3 compact (D5803) to android 5.1.1. on the T-Mobile network here in NYC. Ever since then, I frequently lose the ability to do anything data-based with the phone. No web browing, no chatting on whatsapp. I can still make phone calls and send/receive SMS, however. The data functionality returns when on WiFi, but goes away once I switch back to LTE. In order for me to get data on LTE, I have to manually download the internet settings for my provider to my phone (this is located under the Settings menu in android). Even then, it only lasts for several minutes before the data connection is lost. T-Mobile was unable to fix the problem, and changing the SIM card didn't resolve the issue.
Anyone else experience this?
Yes, many others have the same problem, see various posts in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/discussion-5-1-1-stock-released-post-t3162309
Currently, the best workaround seems to be to disable and re-enable mobile data, or to go to airplane mode and back again. That solves the issue until you drop LTE connection the next time, then you will have to re-iterate.

Yes I am having the exact same problem since updating to 5.1.1. As the other reply says turning airplane mode off then on is the quickest way to get connectivity back (swipe down twice from the top for quick access). This is terribly frustrating though, it only lasts for a few minutes. I can't believe they pushed the update with this issue!

My phone had this issue after the over the air update. I reset the phone to factory, wiped all data. Two days on, now, and no more problems with this.
Same problem. I tried factory reset out of desperation, but it didn't work.
Love this phone, but very discouraged by this bug.
(I'm on t-mobile in Seattle, fwiw)

As posted in the other thread, there is now a fix/workaround:
From reddit user FishStik5: Going into the APN settings and changing the APN protocol to iPv4 only (it was iPv6 before) seems to fix the problem.
How to find the setting: Settings-> Wirelessa and Network / more -> Mobile networks -> APN -> T-mobile data -> APN protocol -> Set to IPv4.

Looks like this worked for me (T-mobile, San Francisco area). Thanks for posting this
i'm having the same problem and didn't work for my the ipv4. still loosing data, i have to reboot the phone
I have also problem with that (Orange, Poland). I sent my phone to official Sony service, they reload the software, but I still have that problem. Lte is working for a while and when my phone switches to wcdma (because it is not in a range of lte) it is not working either. However, when I change the preferred network from lte to wcdma it is working without any issues.
Same problem here although I'm on ipv4 [emoji34]
Sent from my Z3 Compact
I thınk you shouldnt buy operator phones. Buy ınternatıonal models next tıme
Mine isn't an operator model, I'm using Straight Talk and also have the issue. It made my phone useless....I almost never have data
This worked for me
This worked on my Doogee Valencia2 Y100Pro
Install and Open app "Hidden Android Settings" (by 0Alex)
Select choose and open "RadioInfo"
Move to Last option "TOGGLE DNS CHECK"
mine read "0.0.0.0 not allowed"
press the "TOGGLE DNS CHECK" so that it displays "0.0.0.0 Allowed"
That's it - my mobile data worked, I hope it works for yo

1. Change "APN Protocol" to IPv4
2. Change "APN Type" to: "default,supl" only
3. Change "APN" to "internet"
4. Save.
Best, Martin.

this is a bug on 5.1.1 sony need to fix it
Any news with this issue?
No problem here with LTE on the CM 12.1 Cyanogenmod flavor of 5.1.1 on T-mobile (that I've noticed at least). But I think CM 12.1 may handle the APN settings differently (mine is set to T-Mobile LTE ipV4) from the stock ROM or it could be something Sony messed up from the AOSP code. I'm NOT suggesting anyone try a CM ROM as a solution as there are lots of downsides to unlocking your phone and flashing any non-stock ROM. But the problem does seem to be specific to the Sony ROM and not 5.1.1 in general.
I also have this problem after the update to 5.1.1 in the Netherlands. The first problem was that the update changed some mobile data settings, so I downloaded the settings from my provider. Unfortunately those settings were also incorrect as I had to manually remove the APN's Proxy and Port (they were set, be needed to be 'not set'/empty). This improved the connection a bit, but it still looses the mobile data at certain places (where the coverage is good). Did a factory reset as the Sony helpdesk suggested. For a few days this seemed to help, but again the same issue came up. The suggested solution mentioned in this thread did not work as those settings are already applied.
I have a profider (Telfort) which uses another provider's network (KPN's). So after the update I also see a annoying R in the signal icon, where in the previous version it always showed H+, H, 3G.
Does anyone know if this is resolved in the new update?
After the last update and a new reconfiguracion on the APN now work correct for me.

6.0.1 Data problem

Hello guys, I've got a problem....I was on Lollipop 5.1.1 and everything was working perfect...from the time I updated to 6.0.1 the 3G icon remains enabled even though my traffic data is disabled! Tried rebooting,restoring with Xperia Companion and using a different SIM card but nothing seems to work...Give me some help if you guys know what I must do
You can disable 3G, by going into Mobile Networks in Settings and changing it to HSPA/LTE/GSM Preferred to GSM Only
