Disable ALL Roaming on LG stock roms - Verizon LG G2

Long story short, there are situations in which some MVNO users need a "home only" roaming option. Data Roaming is easily disabled, but it seems that Verizon did not include network roaming settings in their menus...so voice roaming is always automatic.
My G2 spends way too much time connected to USCC towers... which is fine on standard VZW, but not on VZW based MVNOs that have no voice/SMS roaming enabled.
Does anyone know of a build.prop line, app, PRL update method, xposed module, or any way to totally disable roaming in LG stock roms?
Cyanogenmod 12.1 does have the "home only" option...but I really prefer the stability of stock based roms.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Bumping this... at this point there are no stock based roms with the ability to disable roaming, and CM12 and CM13 do not have sticky settings and end up roaming anyway.
There has to be a way to disable voice roaming...

FYI on the off-chance anyone else is following this...
This build.prop edit does not work to stop voice roaming (causes system UI fail loop)
ro.com.android.voiceroaming=false
Got to be something along these lines, though...

Still eluding me. I can't be the only Verizon MVNO G2 user who doesn't want my phone to roam... anyone else out there?
Such a simple thing as stopping a phone from roaming, and I am stumped!

Aw poop... Just hard bricked my old G2. Flashed a corrupt aboot.img. Deader than a doornail. It has been fun...off to see how long it takes me to break a Samsung Note

More data roaming problems - Verizon EVDO

I'm getting a chance to do some extended testing with data roaming. I found a couple of other data roaming problem threads, but this issue is different than the problems discussed in those.
The HTC One is rooted, unlocked, S-OFF, stock 4.4.2 (4.06.651.4), with PRL 56018 installed from CDMA Workshop. I've installed a couple of the patches floating around for WiFi tether. I also have an HTC EVO 4G LTE with the 56018 PRL installed via QPST.
Right now, I am in an area with extremely weak Sprint signal and decent Verizon signal. The EVO 4G LTE finds Verizon 3G EVDO and will voice/data roam just fine. SignalCheck verifies that the provider is Verizon for 1x and EVDO, with signal between -90 to -100 dB. However, the One will not data roam. SignalCheck indicates that the One finds Verizon for voice (1X), but does not connect for data roaming. If I watch SignalCheck long enough, I can see that the One will find the Verizon EVDO for a few seconds every five minutes or so, but it won't "hold" the EVDO signal. On Sprint, the ONE will find both 3G and 4G.
I've played around with various mobile data settings, but nothing seems to help. In fact, the One will pop up the messages that data roaming is in effect, but there is no data connection. Since the EVO 4G LTE will EVDO roam, it seems that the One should EVDO roam as well.
Any ideas or suggestions on what to look at? On Sprint the 3G is usually ePHRD, not EVDO, perhaps there is some issue with EVDO on the ONE? I thinking about getting Roam Control to see if that would make any difference. I haven't taken the 4.06.651.9 update either.
Thanks!
I had a chance to do some further data roaming testing with the One and Evo 4G LTE side by side.
Roam Control seems to work fine on the One, except that the color of the blue button for selecting the roaming mode is hard to distinquish.
Unfortunately, it seems that the One will not lock on to a Verizon EVDO signal. I found several areas with strong EVDO signal. The EVO connected just fine, but the One wouldn't. The One does fine with Sprint's eHRPD signal, and will lock on to the Verizon 1xRTT for voice.
I don't know how to do further debugging. I guess it could be a radio problem, an issue with the 56018 PRL and the One, or some other issue.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Providers dont like roaming, the newer the phone is the less likely it will be to roam, the first two M7 radios would not allow any roaming at all on my phone, the latest 2 do allow roaming but I need to force "roam only" with roam control, I am on the latest radio running GPE rom and use roam control to force roaming whenever verizon has a better signal and it works good. I am using PRL 56015 flashed via CDMA workshop.

Unfortunately, my One will not data roam, even with Roam Control. It sees the EVDO for a few seconds, but won't hold it.
Would there be any tweaks that could be made to the radio from CDMA Workshop that might affect the data roaming behavior?

I dont think you can tweak a radio, all I could suggest is make sure you are on the latest radio from here

I flashed the PRL with cdma workshop and use roam control when needed and it roams on 3G no problem. let me know if any of that helps.

I loaded PRL 56015 into the One with CDMA Workshop, but the problem remains...when roaming, the One will see the EVDO briefly but not hold it, according to SignalCheck.
I did a comparison between the various settings in the One and the EVO 4G LTE (where roaming works fine) using CDMA WS. The are significant differences, particularly on the CDMA, CDMA-2, and EVDO pages. For example, on the EVDO page, the EVO has a username ([email protected]) for HDR_User_long, but the One doesn't have one. The EVDO revision is also different. I don't know enough to fool with these settings.
Actually, the One is missing values for many settings that the EVO has. I'm beginning to wonder if somehow the One didn't get provisioned properly.
Thanks!

If you change any of them settings in CDMA workshop, save them first, if you screw something up you can reload the saved settings, I screwed with CDMA workshop alot in the past and you can do alot with it. Before screwing with them settings, did you try resetting or updating your data profile?..maybe something got messed up in the tweaking and flashing your doing. I flash all kinds of different stuff on my phone, every once in a while I flash a sense rom and update or reset my data profile just in case...

I am not on a sense rom right now and I forget the codes, try entering ##3282# or *#*#3282#*#* in your dialer, it should bring up a data menu, there should be an option to do a reset, it will basically erase your data profile and reboot, when it reboots it will do an activation and reset everything....or ##786# will completely reset everything, that has saved me once or twice but that also factory rests your phone. these will only work on a sense rom and I reccoment a backup before doing anything, just in case... if that dont work do a google search for epst codes, and find the one that resets your data profile.

I did a profile reset with ##3282#, and the behavior has changed somewhat. The One is now holding the EVDO signal according to SignalCheck. However, if I try to open a web page, a message box pops up indicating that data roaming needs to be enabled. If I tap on "data roaming" in the message box, it takes me to the mobile data settings. I have been over and over those settings, and tried different combinations of things, but I can't seem to come up with the magic setting that will make the phone think that data roaming is enabled. I am forcing roaming with Roam Control.
Is there some "hidden" setting to enable data roaming? There is a "CDMA Roaming" setting that has choices of Home/Automatic, and I have it set to Automatic. I have identical settings to the Evo in the mobile data settings, but I can't make it work on the One.

What rom are you using?, I think the stock roms from Sprint no longer have the "allow data roaming" option, Sprint tries to avoid us using roaming as much as possible, so if you are on stock rom or something close, you probly don't have this option, try flashing a modified rom that may have this option, or if you are familiar with using the exposed framework, I think there is a module you can use to enable the data roaming. I personally use Gruesomewolf's GPE rom and it has the option built in if you want to try it.

I'm on the stock 4.06.651.4 ROM (rooted and S-OFF). This is my wife's phone, and I'd like to keep it stock and simple, as she's not a techie. However, she also travels where data roaming is required, so I might have to try another ROM.
Interestingly, My EVO 4G LTE doesn't have an "allow data roaming" setting under mobile network settings that I can find, but it roams just fine. In fact, the mobile data settings on the EVO and One are almost identical, except that the One has some additional GMS options. I wonder if there is some setting in a file like build.prop that affects data roaming.
I installed a couple of native hotspot hacks on the One. In looking through the zip files for those hacks to see what they actually did (which was quite minimal), some network-related things were changed in /system/customize/ACC/default.xml relative to the file in the original ROM, and a shell script was added that executes several iptables commands. I may try to manually undo those hacks to see if it has any effect. At this point, we need the data roaming more than the hotspot.

Alot of your issues can be solved with a custom rom, you wouldnt need to install the hotspot hacks either, most have native hotspot built in.

Getting a chance to work on this issue again...it seems that the EV-DO problem with my HTC One is not limited to roaming, but also occurs on the Sprint network.
Again, doing side-by-side comparison between the HTC One and my EVO 4G LTE on Sprint network:
1) Set network mode to LTE/CDMA. According to SignalCheck, both phones will find Sprint LTE and display the 4G indicator in the status bar, and both will occasionally drop back to Sprint eHRPD for periods of 5-10 minutes (displaying the 3G icon in the status bar). Network is available to apps in both the LTE and eHRPD cases. No problems here.
2) Now...change network mode to CDMA Only. According to SignalCheck, the EVO will find Sprint EV-DO, the status indicator will change to 3G, and network is available to apps. However, on the One, SignalCheck indicates that EV-DO is found (but doesn't indicate which carrier), there is no 3G (or 4G) icon in the status bar, and apps report that there is no network. The EV-DO signal is strong for both phones.
So, it seems that on the One, LTE and eHRPD are working, but there is some kind of problem with legacy EV-DO, where the phone can find a signal, but can't complete the process of registering on the network, whether Sprint or roaming.
Do eHRPD and EV-DO use the same radio? Trying to rule out a hardware issue. I am thinking of flashing a different radio firmware. Perhaps something got corrupted when I did the OTA update.
Not that Sprint wouldn't do this, but it would seem odd to put something in the stock ROM that would prevent EV-DO, even on Sprint's network. Is there somebody out there on the stock ROM who could confirm that they can get network in CDMA only mode?
Thanks!
So, I finally got this problem solved! I had to do a ##786# "hard reset". After the reset, EV-DO works fine.
The reset process was interesting. I did backups, expecting the phone to be wiped. I entered ##786# and the phone said it was preparing, and then rebooted. But it rebooted into recovery (I have TWRP). Not being exactly sure what to do, I rebooted into the system. The phone booted up, and the provisioning process started and completed. It then fetched the PRL. But nothing was wiped out. Apps, data, and sdcard were all intact. Oh, well, no complaints, and everything seems to be working fine. I used CDMA workshop to put PRL 56018 back, and roaming seems to be working.

I know you got your issue fixed and its been a while but just a heads up in case you run into problems again, I got a replacement phone from sprint and had the exact same issues youe were having, It is a problem with the data profile not being configured correctly, in my case, the new phone did not have my user name correct, worked fine on sprint network for some reason, but I couldnt get 3g in roaming areas, using epst I put my correct user name in and everything worked perfectly...dont know what rom your running now either but NUISENSE is awesome with this phone and it has "roam only" opttion built in, no need for roam control app....
Thanks for the tip!
I'm using the stock ROM. Since my last post, I have been able to test romaing, as we've traveled off the Sprint network, and roaming 3G worked fine. The only issue was that in a one spot we were roaming on a regional carrier, and the phone had locked on a quite distant tower according to SignalCheck, instead of Verizion which had closer towers. This resulted in some loss of 3G just as we were trying to get radar data for a storm we were traveling through (bad timing). But that is most likely a PRL issue. In looking though some PRL analyis an earlier version of 56xxx on another site, Sprint apparently doesn't have roaming agreement in this particular area with Verizon. I wish I new more about PRL editing so I could fix that...

AHD doesn't seem to roam unless forced.

Hello, I have a AT&T MB886 unlocked flashed with LiquidSmooth 4.nightly running LP. I have a T-mobile business line which includes roaming...
My question is how do I get the phone to be more aggressive at picking up other carriers? When I'm in my local town, service is great, but once I get outside of town, the options change to AT&T and other random carriers. If I manually select another carrier, it will roam just fine... however it doesn't do it automatically. I have roaming turned on in the settings, and I checked the build.prop to make sure it was enabled there also. Have I been too spoiled with CDMA roaming just working quickly or am I missing a setting somewhere?
Thanks!

Nexus 6 Lra carrier help

Hello, I recently purchased a gpe nexus 6 for my cell carrier Thumb cellular. Small company that uses verizon towers in rural America (LRA) one of the bigger LRA carriers is bluegrass cellular if it would help any. Basically these LRA carriers partner with verizon to give coverage in rural areas otherwise skipped over. The phones themselves are almost exact clones over their verizon counterparts for what that may matter.
My issue is I have a bug where I can not send out sms messages on lte but when preferred network is set to CDMA only Prl it works. Set back to lte CDMA and they fail to send again. Everything else including receiving sms works. Any idea on what I can do because I don't want to send this device back. Seen its common on CDMA carriers but no real fix has been found besides to stay off lte. Any help would be great, Thank you
Sounds to me like it might be something with the APN's. Maybe you could look at another (android) phone that works properly, and see the apn's, and then manually enter them in the nexus?

I have a galaxy s5 on the same network and saved the apns and restored on the nexus using apn backup restore, I get lte and can send mms. The issue is sending regular sms while on lte. If I force 3g or even 1x I have no issues sending a text. Seen its common issue with this phone on a CDMA network but no idea what to do to fix, updated to stock 5.1 as soon as I received the phone, tried chroma as well as bliss pop and all have the same issues. Really don't want to return the phone but doesn't seem like there is a fix

Why did you do apn backup/restore rather than letting the n6 pull apn info from your sim? That may be why you're experiencing issues?
Although, standard sms doesn't have any specific apn settings afaik, and should just work as long as standard voice works...
Btw, what build are you running?

Did that before I restored apns actually. Had an issue so that's when I used my thumb cellular apns which are different then the verizon ones it gives me thinking it would help me for some odd reason even though apns have nothing to do with sms.
If I go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* I have LTE/GSM/CDMA AUTO (PRL) everything works except sending an sms. Only thing that won't work. If I change it to CDMA only I will get either 1x or 3g but my phone works how it should. Should have absolutely nothing to do with apn settings. Seen this issue is common on verizon but more so on sprint but not everyone is plagued with this problem, but exchanges and new sim cards don't fix the issue for those whom experience it.
I'll post a log cat, I don't know what to look for so if someone could it would be great. I'm testing with 8sms

I'm looking for answers too I have a similar carrier (another partnered with Verizon in the lra agreement) and interested in buying a n6 provided this issue can be resolved. Being a carrier that functions the same way I'm 99% sure I'd also have this same problem.
What doesn't make sense is that when network mode is set to LTE/CDMA AUTO prl, you cannot send sms but you can receive them, send/receive mms, make and receive phone calls etc. But if you do cdma only and limit it to 3g, it all works.
Does anyone have any suggestions in things to try?

I tried that before and had no luck. Going to try different modems tomorrow and a couple BP edits. Running out of ideas to try sadly. Only idea I have is how the phone is communicating with the network, same issue I saw on the nexus back in November with the sprint network. Seems like a radio update fixed the problem.

Can't make calls on VZW after switching back from Fi

I decided to give Project Fi a try after the word came down about Verizon raising the rates for unlimited data plans. Long story short, it's not for me. The coverage stinks in the areas I travel. Battery life took a big hit due to it having trouble finding and keeping a signal. I thought it would be better having looked at the TMo coverage maps. Anyway, that's a different topic.
I hadn't canceled my Verizon account so I put that SIM back in and it seems like I am connected to Verizon's network again. All the texts sent to that number came through once the phone was turned on with the VZW SIM back in. However, I can't make any calls. I get an operator error about being unable to complete the call. The Cellular Network Settings only has a roaming setting. Don't have the Enhanced VoLTE option and the other things I had prior to switching to Fi. Did the *#*#4636#*#* thing to try turning the radio off and on, turning on the VoLTE provisioning flag, rebooted, etc. No change in my ability to make calls. Anyone have any ideas what I need to do to get voice calls working again? If it matters, I am on 5.1.1 LMY48T.

The solution is to go into the calls section of the dialer and disable the call assistant settings.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProjectFi/...ing_between_verizon_and_project_fi_sim_cards/
OK, so I can make calls again by changing the setting above. But I am without simultaneous voice and data. Still missing most settings under Cellular Network. Any ideas on how to get that back? Is there anything I need to toggle in the *#*#4636#*#* menu?
I'm having the same problem. But the issue is my phone is operating In Ireland, I've never lived in the u.s but I don't have call assistant in my dialer settings...I have data and texts and can receive calls but can't dial out, I obviously don't have access to projectfi here in Ireland and it is installed on my phone but its disabled and always has been, really strange I flashed the ROM for marshmallow automatically suggested by NRT for my device, but I'm wondering if the rom I flashed was u.s. specific even though it didn't suggest that in the rom I flashed...it has me absolutely baffled.

All the texts sent to that number came through once the phone was turned on with the VZW SIM back in. However, I can't make any calls. I get an operator error about being unable to complete the call. The Cellular Network Settings only has a roaming setting. Don't have the Enhanced VoLTE option and the other things I had prior to switching to Fi. Did the *#*#4636#*#* thing to try turning the radio off and on, turning on the VoLTE provisioning flag, rebooted, etc. No change in my ability to make calls. Anyone have any ideas what I need to do to get voice calls working again? If it matters, I am on 5.1.1 LMY48T.

This came up alot when the N6 was first released last year. You will need to factory wipe the phone, and then you will have full access to the Verizon network. There is an issue with putting in a Verizon SIM after using another carrier's SIM.. Not sure but it might have affected Sprint also. The posts are out there on XDA about this, if you dont trust me. You can search and find them.

OK, so I can make calls again by changing the setting above. But I am without simultaneous voice and data. Still missing most settings under Cellular Network. Any ideas on how to get that back? Is there anything I need to toggle in the *#*#4636#*#* menu?

Sorry for the late reply. Life got in the way of me checking back on this thread sooner.
I believe you about the factory reset fixing it. Was just hoping there was an easier way so I don't have to setup my phone again. Perhaps the Marshmallow OTA will fix it but who knows when we'll get that. I'm tired of dealing with the signal issues I have as a result of switching back and forth so I'm going to do the reset. Just to confirm, this is the option under Settings > Backup & reset, right? Or is it something I need to boot into recovery to do?

[AOSP] [Marshmallow] Does anybody else have problems with roaming?

It's a minor nuisance, but it did work with my last factory image, the first Marshmallow official image, but since I've been using AOSP it never switches automatically to roaming when I cross the border. I can switch to other available carriers manually, but my home carrier is still in the available list (with 0 signal strength), and since it my home carrier, it selects it automatically. I've got used to switching manually, but I am still curious why this can happen. I've looked at the radio logs, tried to examine the source, but I just can't find an obvious code bit that could result in this bug.
It's not easy to debug, or to make some extensive debug log (because it's not easy to simulate a border crossing. Or is it?), but if you have some ideas, I would be thankful
I've never tried this with other AOSP based roms, that's why I'm interested in your experiences.
Thanks.
I have Sprint Framily plan and there are very few places near me that I don't get signal. I don't run stock, but primarily run ROMs based on AOSP (Dirty Unicorns right now, but Pure Nexus and AOSiP in the past too). When my signal was non existent, I went into roaming fine on Verizon 3G with no issues. In a certain movie theater and certain sports bar I don't get signal but roaming worked fine. Leaving the places it switched back over to Sprint. I've never tried it outside the United States though.
Did you double check under Settings -> More -> Mobile - that the two options "Data roaming" and "National data roaming" are set to enabled?
No, I don't use data roaming, it's expensive as heck, so I always keep it switched off. No it's just simple connecting automatically to foreign carriers.
