[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Global:
Hi there,

My E4GT is going into roam for no good reason. Has anyone else experienced this?

I am in Metro Detroit, and this is what happened.

I rooted my first phone, and had the loss of service issue with it.

One night, while I was sleeping with the phone charging on my nightstand, it beeped a couple times. I thought it was a text message. When I looked at the phone, it had a message on the screen that said that I am now going into Roaming mode, and may be charged more for this, do I accept or cancel.

I thought it was because I had rooted my phone so I just rebooted my phone.

After I rebooted my phone, it did it again, two more times!

I returned that phone, and got a brand new one. I have NOT rooted the new one.

Today I was in Livonia Michigan (city area, plenty of towers) and I was stationary at an office. The phone went into roam again, and asked if I want to accept this or not?!? I rebooted, and it did it again. This all on a stock virgin phone.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any idea as to what I should do?

Thanks -Aaron

mines been doing the same thing for the last couple days even when connected to my airvanna which makes no sense

Getting it too but in a couple specific places which are my basement at home and at the office. This hasn't happened with any of my previous sprint phones.

happens to me on 3 diff phones

network upgrades perhaps..towers comign up and down would kick your over to romaing

Same thing happening to me often.

Maybe Sprint is upgrading their towers so the iPhone congestion doesn't screw **** up.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Global:
I got the answer from a sprint tech support guy, that knew what he was talking about!

go to settings-> wireless and networks-> Roaming-> Roaming settings

Then make sure that "Data" is checked off, along with "voice".

The phone comes without the 'Data" choice selected, and that causes this roaming condition.

Several people on the OG epic noticed this also, its gotten better, but still happens to me when it never did in these areas before...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jmelendez1:
Exactly...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbldown768:
I had the same issue all day yesterday in Chicago. But I also noticed coworkers had signal issues as well. I think there were tower issues in the area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
They are preparing for the beast!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Yeah, it's happening to me, and another person in my home that owns an OG Epic... and we have an Airave hooked up in the house, so it shouldn't be roaming at all using an Airave.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sph33r:
Happened to me on day 1 in Troy, Mi. It's one of the reasons I ultimately returned it, the signal seemed quite a bit weaker than my Evo. I hope the upcoming Samsung ultra-phone doesn't share radios with the SGSII.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ButteredToast:
Hello, I can't seem to download the NFL '11 app from the market. It doesn't show up on my phone and when searching at market.android.com it says it isn't available for my carrier.

I used to have it on my phone, I've since switched to MIUI rom and I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I can download the NFL '11 App for tablets but of course that won't work as it's for tablets...

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: Also when looking at the My Devices tab on market.android.com, the Carrier field is blank. There is an older android phone listed that I used to have and it still says carrier is T-Mobile. Any way to kind of "update" it so it will say T-Mobile, I have a feeling that's what the problem is.
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
Sorry if this has been asked before, Im sure some probably have and I missed them, so please be gentle.

I used the HTCEVOHACKS guide to unlock/root my Hboot 1.50 EVO 3d.

I understand that you have to flash ROMS/KERNELS through fastboot. But this is only on 2.3.3 Roms/Kernels, correct? If I have a 2.3.4 based ROM I can just boot into recovery and then flash from there?

Also, this may sound stupid, but when I used Titanium Backup I did a batch backup of all user data and apps. When I flash a ROM I will perform a restore. But wont that re-install a lot of the HTC apps and sense based things?? Or would I just restore my user apps?

Like I said, sorry if these are dumb questions. I am pretty new to this.
[HTC EVO 3D] lmayes69:
my understanding is that if the rom has a kernel or something that needs to be flashed to boot, then you must use fast boot
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
Thanks for your help. That's what I figured.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdead72:
ok i have went to the dev radio section and read my butt off about it and which i have also flash most all the radios and at this time i havent seen any better signal or speeds i have however seen lower signals and speeds at which i reflashed to another with the my origanal speeds which is edge speeds i get the E for edge ok my question is this what is the best readio to flash with i use H2O wireless which runs off att towers however i dont have a origanal att phone to test my sim card on to see if i get 3g so im stuck or atleast i think i am i have recently ota upgraded to 2.3.6 and i have flash all radios for gj22 and the 39f i have been on the 39f flashing all readios for both on the 39f but i have yet to see any difference i did at one time get it to have a G in the pace of the E but signal was nasty and i couldnt run on the web it was hit and miss. any help would be awesome. and thanks in advance oh i also have the GT-i9020T
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
First off a little clarification : G is the slowest, E is the next best, 3g is pretty much the standard, and H is hspa which is the best well get. For my i9020t I like the newest radio (kf1) but if you've lost 3g on the op in the thread you are referring to there is a fix for that. I recommend checking it out as it's very helpful. Best luck mate.

[HTC Wildfire S] jikantaru:
there is no software to crack s-on. you need an xtc clip, or find a shop with one to make it s-off.
[HTC Wildfire S] hypercode:
is s-off or s-on in bootloader? can we copy it from s-offed phones?

[HTC Wildfire S] imlgl:
Like I said before, try and convince the alpharevx team to try again. They tried once before but couldn't unlock it due to the hardware.
[HTC Wildfire S] ArjanK:
Sometimes I'm really wondering if these topic starters actually take the time to search/read through the existing threads in these forums..

I only recently registered but have been lurking on these forums ever since i got a winmo quite a few years ago. Ever since i've been amazed by the ignorance of some of the people that show up in these parts of the interwebs..

My 2 cents.

On Topic: Yeah, unfortunately it's XTC-Clip only at the moment. But imho you could have figured that out if you would have done even a tiny bit of research before you blindly bought your WFS
[HTC Wildfire S] Aef 101:
I totally agree, I check in everyday only to be greeted by the same old questions in a brand new thread :(

There is a search facility on this site, I wish more people would use it.

I second you
[HTC Wildfire S] thehumble1:
Looks like the XTC-clip is coming down in price and with unlimited unlocks, doesn't that mean that just one of us needs to get it and then use it to unlock everyone else's phone?

At $10/person we pay for the $100 clip in 10 phones. I'll do it if people don't mind sending me their phones for a few days to unlock them.

Am I crazy, or can't I just order one for $55?
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
I think people are already doing this via eBay - check the 'XTC Clip Group-Buy' thread. Europe only though, not sure.

Hi,

Anyone in the West Midlands area (UK) with a clip? Willing to pay and travel - phone is doing my nuts in - can't install anything cos of low memory and I have 15M left.

Gonna bin the thing if I can't put some lighter firmware on it!

Try an unlocking shop, one of them is bound to have an xtc clip.

He say he will use a software from his phone repairing tools manufacturing company.

Is it possible?

It's a good little phone, if people are really desperate to get the phone rooted, they really should go to a phone unlocking store, or buy the Xtc clip.

[EVO 4G General] GuestX0011:
I hate to say this I really do.

But they have the cash... The cash can easily be spent on making the network the fastest there is. I wish a company with the $$$ would do this.
[EVO 4G General] Evo4eva:
This is the first thing that I have ever read that involves Apple that sounds like a good idea to me. If Apple does buy the network they WILL put the money into the network to make it much better. Most likely the fastest of ALL networks not just the major 4. I hate Apple, I mean I really hate Apple,but if this does happen we could have a major overhaul of our network and we would actually get great speeds as opposed to the decent speeds in some areas and terrible speeds in other areas. I say for the first time ever to Apple, GO FOR IT!
[EVO 4G General] Noncon:
Antitrust.

KJ
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Yeah, there's just no way this would be allowed.

And to the person that thought this was a good idea... yeeaaaahhhhh not sure what you're smoking.

We think At&t and Verizon [and really the whole industry anymore] are bad with the lock downs and penny pinching?

Let Apple own a carrier.
[EVO 4G General] CTTKDKing:
I agree but I also have some reservations on this, mainly pricing. Everything apple makes tends to be on the expensive side. I'm on Sprint not because it carries the phone I want or because it's got the best coverage, but because it's the cheapest carrier for high end smart phones that include everything you need. No extra charges for GPS access or unlimited texting or anything goofy like that. Point I guess is that if Apple does buy Sprint I hope the pricing stays the same. Otherwise I'll probably have to move back over to Verizon or T-Mobile.
[EVO 4G General] RoC1909:
Yes...and a 50% hike in your bill. And data throttling. And great data plans like "2GB for 25 bucks a month," And all the crap that goes along with Apple.....

Horrible idea.
[EVO 4G General] Evo4eva:
You're a moron. Apple is not the cause of the throttling.
[EVO 4G General] perpetual98:
Apple makes hardware, and they've chosen a business model to make hardware for certain carriers, either because it made sense, or because that particular carrier bought exclusive rights. Don't quote me, but I think they sell the iPhone in a lot of countries. I don't think it would make much sense for Sprint, but then again they've been doing a lot of little stuff as side-business/sub-business because there is a market for it.
[EVO 4G General] Steven 1:
^^ ^^ Apple makes software. Not hardware. They buy hardware from multitude of companies
[EVO 4G General] qbanways:
I don't really think that would be a good thing. If Apple buy's sprint then I think Apple will start trying to close the market off for google's Android.
[EVO 4G General] delman420:
Man Steve must be rolling over in his......Oh wait too soon
[EVO 4G General] boomerb5:
I don't buy it.

As mentioned above, Apple is a software/niche hardware company. They sell an image as much as anything. They would not want to get slogged down with wires and towers and coast-to-coast utility servicing....it just isn't what they do (or would be good at).
[EVO 4G General] motenak:
1st off I'll let everyone know that I'm not a complete moron. I admit I can't build my own ROM but I can't see why this would violate any antitrust laws. How would this be any different than when the iPhone was only on AT&T? If you wanted an iPhone then you basically were stuck with AT&T. Plus when you have as much cash as Apple has you can "buy" a waiver from the government. Unless I'm missing something I can't see any way Apple buying Sprint would/could harm other mobile carriers other than those carriers couldn't sell the iPhone.
[EVO 4G General] shochu808:
Antitrust, anticompetition, and a step toward monopolizing the industry. FCC cockblocked the at&t/t-moble merge, making the mere notion of Apple owning it's own carrier ludicrous at best.
[EVO 4G General] Landara:
A carrier owning their own Network is completely fine under the law. If they wanna pay for it, it's theirs to have. As long as they aren't limiting peoples choice of networks, it's all fine. Clearly Apple would not be doing this. There are other carriers, and nothing Apple can ever do will make you unable to simply switch to one of them. Even if they made future iPhones Sprint exclusives, in the eyes of the law that is their god-given right and there's nothing shady or illegal about it. You *still* have a choice of networks, no one said you have a right to buy an iPhone.

And anyway, Apple will NEVER(mark my words) make an iPhone Sprint exclusive(except maybe for a few weeks at launch). This would be a slap in the face to all the people who support them(literally EVERYONE OF THEM at this point) by buying iPhones while on other networks. Not to mention Sprint is a very small Network and will always be compared to the big two, and nothing Apple can do is gonna change that. So why would they limit themselves in that way?

But despite everything you might read, Apple likely has NO interest in buying Sprint. Why the hell would they? Give me one logical reason? It just makes no sense what-so-ever. But those of you are are using Anti-Trust Law as a reason why it wouldn't be possible really need to look up Anti-Trust in a dictionary because Apple having a foothold in 2 entirely separate but logically linked fields isn't even remotely close to a monopoly. A monopoly of what? Them owning Sprint can't effect your choice of carrier OR handsets. Them owning Apple can't either.
[EVO 4G General] shochu808:
@ landora, in your honest opinion, do you think this would pass through the FCC?

However, I totally agree with your business angle. It would shock me if Apple ever made an attempt to either merge or takeover one of the existing carriers. Cost would make it a huge risk, and too much capital and attention would be devoted toward raising customer satisfaction levels that meet their high standards.

I never said it was against the law, I listed reasons the FCC might consider if this ever got thrown their way. If this crazy notion ever made it through...and not that it would make business sense, what's stopping them from mailing free iPhones to their competitor's customers offering them better carrier service and pricing. Owning both entities could eventually pay off. Initially take a loss on the phone, a later profit from carrier fees. Existing carriers begin to fold not able to compete as Apple gains market share.

All this said without factoring in the broadband packages they could offer if customers purchasrd their macbooks or macpros.

This analogy is extreme, but how different would this be if say British Petroleum decided to by Toyota or Ford?
[EVO 4G General] SloMotion:
To keep it simple

Hell freaking no.
[EVO 4G General] Landara:
Everything you just said is perfectly legal and has been done for YEARS by every single carrier our there. The FCC would never get involved. *if* other networks failed because Apple out-marketed them and had better phones(this will never happen) then that's what's called a Consumer Choice Monopoly and they are 100% legal(just ask Microsoft).

First, unplugg the phone from PC

Start Sony PC Companion, click on Support Zone

Now click on Start, from the section Phone Software Update

It will say that could find your phone, but it gives a link in blue "Repair phone", click on it

Follow the steps to instal Original Sony ROM/Kernel.

Remeber that you have to turn off your phone and start in flash mode (plugg de USB cable while you press back button)

It's happened to me this fact.

I used the Sony Ericsson Update Service. So you can relive your phone even with it off. This application can be downloaded on the site of the SE.

I'm from tampa to, metro seems like the best way to go, I know a few people who have evos on metro.. But then again metro service is a bit iffy. Mostly a personal choice if you do metro.. I had boost before coverage was good, I'll go with boost over metro

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Boost or Metro is personal choice they both kinda whack for 3g service. Payment wise is different but coverage in my area I seen the market take minutes just to load up- **smdh** not good.

I agree sell Evo go simple mobile with a HD2 or find a nice HTC sim card phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spankmaster:
if your sprint coverage and 3g speeds are decent then definitely stick with boost because its the same exact service as sprint, just no fancy 4G service. Plus like you said, the shrinking payment are great. Metro doesn't have a(or i believe very recently only has a few) 3g network. they work off of 1X so data is unbearably even in great coverage areas. Also, it tends to be more of a pain in the ass working with the whole metro flash thing and getting all the functions of the phone to work correctly than with boost. Its a win win with boost for me. If i didnt have 4g in my area I'd sure as hell switch
