Hi all
I just got the N920C in South Africa, my work is just cross the border at another country. When i roam, i only roam voice not data. On previous phones its always been like that. But i dont know why on the Note5 i have the icon on the top left of the screen as attached. I click on it and it says my data roaming is off, i need to click to turn it on. I dont need my data roaming to turn on and also dont want that notification always there.
Anyone know any solution?
TIA

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'v did this .
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

CM supply edge
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!
I have a quite rare problem. I'm in Ireland and use 3 operator. It does not have coverage on many places and it has some kind of contract with o2, so whenever the signal it lost, phone automatically switches to o2. Problem is when I'm back in place with full 3 coverage again, WP does not switch back. I have to select network manually several times a day. It's very annoying. Is there an option somewhere in settings to disable roaming completely? I found it only for data but I need it for calls. Phone is Lumia 920.
Thanks

I imagine specifying your network provider as "3 IRELAND" or whatever it's called will stop it from connecting to O2? The setting is under Mobile Network (under the roaming options, at the bottom) and is set to "automatic" by default.

First thing I tried, but it did not help. Maybe problem is that the other network has same name - probably to ensure seamless switch. (it's actually Vodafone, sorry for my mistake: http://www.vodafone.ie/aboutus/media/press/show/BAU002953.shtml )

I'm not saying I'll be able to help, but could you elaborate a little on why roaming comes into this? Are you changing countries between two places where the operator is called "Vodafone"?
Don't forget to help on my Bing Vision query

No I don't. It's actually a funny thing. I live in Dublin and yet you can find here many places without signal coverage. I think, but not exactly sure that 3 is the last operator who entered on a market here, so it does not have proper infrastructure and negotiated with Vodafone national roaming for places where native 3 signal is not available. In general it's not a big problem, you can make calls like in your home network, price is same, you can even see on your phone you are connected to 3 network but with a roaming. (because in fact you are connected to Vodafone)
I'm trying to disable roaming completely because mobile data on the roaming are just GPRS while in native 3, you got 3G.
It would not mind me if phone would automatically switch back on 3 when available. (when I had WP 7 it was doing like this) But now with WP8 the behavior seems to be changed and as soon as it enters the roaming it never reverts back to native network unless I manually select the 3network again.
I have just got this phone today from T-Mobile UK I have had lots of Samsung phones and have always been able to choose either GSM mode or 3g but on this phone there is not that choice anywhere and my phone because of the area I live in is forever searching for a good 3g signal and it's eating my battery, if I turn off my mobile data then I don't receive my notifications from facebook such as if one of my friends private messages me, is there any way that I can use just 2g (gsm) my battery won't last me half a day at this rate, thanks for any help....
Settings/wireless and network. Push ...More settings/mobile networks/network mode.
There you can choose gsm/gsm+wcdma/wcdma.
I don't have those options I only have gsm+wcdma or wcdma only there is nothing else to choose from I have never had only these two options before..

There's a small app called "anycut" that have the ability to make direct shortcut to hidden setting to homescreen. But I'm not sure if it works in our devices/jb, last time I used it in my korean galaxy k with gingerbread to make auto selection for roaming call with no notification. Gud luck.
Sorry for my bad english.
thank you ztandroid I will see if I can find it......
Just making this thread for all the Wind Mobile users out there!
Feel free to post any questions or suggestions! :good:
I noticed that sometimes if I walk out of wind coverage (doesn't happen too often, but there are some blind spots in Vancouver), and then walk back in, my phone stays on "roaming" network for much longer than needed. In other words, the home wind network is already available, but unless I choose it manually (which takes forever!) it will stay on roaming network. Is there a way to completely disable this roaming, so the only network my N4 connects to is Wind?

Yeah go on mobile networks
Then network operators, (it'll search for a while)
Then press wind
If u do search automatically it will switch to roaming and wind home (if you're in a bad area)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
can some on on wind network post the APN's for the network, i accidently reset it and now its blank o.0, and on wind network, does it cost addition data to use GPS? like location services (Google Now, Maps) or Navigations?
and does wind portal like facebook zero and stuff still active? cant find any info on that

I live in a week signal area and when it switches to roaming a quick toggle of airplane mode usually gets me back on winds network.

Dr ketan m12 but I've had this issue with heaps of roms and even my old note3.
I'm with Vodafone Australia in a semi rural area but whenever I am away from wifi my hspda icon will show up as if I have a connection but when I try a website it never loads. I'll try a bunch of times and nothing.
Until I turn flight mode on and the off and then it goes straight away.
Really annoying, any ideas?
Maybe an issue with Wifi-cellular handover being buggy. Try turning this feature on/off and then see.
You mean smart network switch? Already off.

Does the connection work on other phones without issues? If so, then this could be resolved by resetting the network settings from the carrier. I've had similar issue on the S3 and resetting the settings from my carrier resolved it for some reason. I feel this has a good chance to work for you as well.
Does it occur on stock ROMs well?
Does your area get sufficient coverage for 3G/4G data? The phone will sometimes show that 3G/3.5G/4G data is available but may not necessarily work. I've seen this happen in out-of-town areas ofn Pakistan where cell towers are far apart. This wasn't much of an issue with urban areas for me.
How do you reset carrier network connection?

Contact the carrier's customer care and ask them reset the network and send new settings to your phone.
That's what we do here but I'm sure it's more or less the same.
