Rogers Phone [unlocked], FIDO SIM, always Roaming...

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?

what's the problem about china unicom SIM card?

when I use china mobile SIM card, everything is OK,
but when I change it to china unicom SIM card, the network logo should not be "G", instead of double arrow signal together with "X" signal.
why it show me this? ( but I can norlamly use my mobile phone in phone and GPRS and going to internet).
Could anybody help me?

did you put in the network settings for the other network ?
as in apn and username and the likes?

no, I find the netwrok automacticly, and select china unicom network,at first the network logo is OK like "G",
but after several minutes, it changed to arrow signal

Weird SIM unlock question

Hi,
I just unlocked my SIM card via a Verizon supplied code. I found an old AT&T SIM in my desk drawer - I called AT&T and confirmed the SIM is not active (nor has it ever been activated). I inserted it and the phone came up. However, if I use APN Manager, it shows I'm connected to Verizon. I'm able to make and receive calls.
I thought by inserting a different SIM I would be using that providers network instead of Verizons? Or do I need to manually change that somehow?
It's important I figure this out before my trip next month to Panama.

i think in usa the other network gsm bands are locked (so u wont be able to get service it wil just show no services i think) so even u insert them u wont be able to use that network ...
and u can change ur settings to gsm from mobile in network n settings i think..when u leave to panama or out of usa
hope it helps thnx

You need to ask your carrier what their APN is and then set it on the phone..

You need to go back to the stock rom you had before.

still not work bro, still no network provider, still no sim card etc,

No signal/voice/data - Restricted access changed. Voice service is blocked

Just as the title says, the phone was working fine then suddenly it lost all signal and went into some kind of restricted mode, it's a friend's phone and he is almost 84 years old.
I have flashed the latest firmware and factory reset to no avail, also changed sim cards and here comes the weird behavior:
I don't have a standard-sized sim card so I had to take it from my USB LTE Modem, it's from another carrier and the phone detected the sim card, went with a full -77db HSDPA signal but data doesn't work at all, it seems to be disabled on status, even configuring the proper APNs it refuses to work. Can't test voice and all my other working sim cards are nano.
Inserting any other sim from another carrier results in no signal/restricted access but the phone still downloads the Internet/MMS configuration.
Have tried setting it manually to WCDMA and GSM, nothing seems to work, only my data sim worked so far *without the data*.

Maybe the IMEI is banned for some reason?
Never heard of this issue until now
Have you tried to flash a firmware that aren't from any carrier?

Yes I did, flashed the USA unbranded kitkat rom.
Just got the chance to test with two sim cards from different carriers:
Carrier #1: Registered on network, no data traffic, voice call drops just after trying to call, signal ok
Carrier #2: Registered on network, data traffic seems ok but can't navigate, shows H+ and proper APN and traffic arrows activity but when you try a call it says "Mobile Network Not Available"
Can't send SMS, they stick with a "Sending" status and wont get past it.
This phone was purchased unlocked without a contract, can't see how the IMEI could be banned, plus we do not have regularization for IMEI ban in my country, it's currently a mess.
On a side note it does not detect the sim's phone number which it does on any other phone.
Maybe it's some hardware related issue?

Well that's interesting
My phone can't detect my Sim's phone number either (though i don't know If it is only for me)
Have you tried to flash a ROM? (from XDA)

The sim number information depends on the sim itself, most carriers register this information within the simcard so when you go to status you may retrieve your own phone number but I have seen sim cards without this info. The sim cards I tested do have this information and were available on a Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z1 but this E1 fails to read this information which kinda indicates a problem. I don't remember the codes for debugging the sim and network info or I'd give that a shoot.
I will try a custom rom, maybe a different kernel and see if the behavior changes any bit.
I am bidding on a Z1 Compact for this friend, should be a proper replacement and a hell of an upgrade, just concerned about E1's loudness which is certainly superior.

Interesting, I also get this if I don't reboot my phone after like 5 days.
