[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] f4phantomii:
It's *not* the phone. I have the same problem with my rooted G2. My wife has a stock G2 with the same results.

Likewise I used to be able to roam and force to ATT when TMo was poor or non-existent.

I first noticed that I hadn't seen it roam in a while....like within the last year or more. And the inability to roam *greatly* limits TMo's coverage.

We recently had to travel for a funeral into a very rural area with really poor coverage. Couldn't coordinate with family or friends. No Google Maps. Home security sys and cams were innacessible. We usually care for my sister who has Lupus....we didn't even have a way to check up on her.

In short, I've been a TMo cust for a decade and that experience was enough to make me switch. And the fact that it appears to be a widespread problem that *still* isn't fixed makes me even more angry.

Like you, TMo says it should work. I'm beginning to suspect a SIM card issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mustk1ll20:
I think it's the phone. Never had any issue with roaming on previous android phones. Also I unlocked it and I'm now using it with att. Now I can't roam on T-Mobile with it. Other phones on my account that aren't s3 can roam fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chicago281:
I have T-Mobile right now and at my home up until about 10 days ago I received an amazing connection. Data was at 90ms 25MB Down and 4MB UP.

Now I am lucky to ping 1000ms. My fastest DL is 0.59MBPS and I get ZERO upload. T-Mobile has been creating engineering tickets for me with a promised response in 72 hours and it hasn't happened. I've been waiting 10 days now. I am about ready to leave them and head over to Verizon or Sprint.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] awrnsmn:
I had the same issue with roaming with my s2. It's not the phone...I spent 2 weeks argueing with T-Mobile and have yet to EVER be able to roam. My wife has the sensation, now I've moved to the s3 and neither of us have successfully been able to roam. Makes me wonder if T-Mobile is full of **** with their "free" roaming agreements.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] youngchris29:
For some reason my s3 has the network mode option. I have great coverage here in the nyc area so I have never needed to roam but I do have that option under more settings.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mustk1ll20:
Then it's something Samsung is doing wrong. Like I said, unlocked using att now and can't roam on T-Mobile. It works fine att but roaming on other carriers is still an issue. It's something with the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Which release are you on? Roaming for tmobu is controlled by SIM card. Weather the settings there or not. The towers won't allow you to connect if the SIM card doesn't match
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mustk1ll20:
Lol

the phone is working fine on at&t with at&t SIM. But still won't roam to other networks. Did the same thing before I unlocked it and was using T-Mobile SIM.

In the end no matter which SIM I use in the phone it will not roam. It's the phone. 3 SIM cards 3 different carriers NONE WORK WITH ROAMING ON THIS PHONE.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Yes because the SIM cards do not allow you to connect to other towers that are not branded to that SIM card. A T-Mobile SIM will connect to T-Mobile towers and att SIM will connect to att towers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mustk1ll20:
So what your saying is roaming is no longer possible for any carrier? What's the point of at&t and T-Mobile to having roaming agreements? My T-Mobile flip phone roams no problem back and forth to at&t and back to T-Mobile no problem.

This s3 is the only phone I have ever had a problem with roaming.

I don't think your understanding the "roaming" part of this. So,,,, I have T-Mobile SIM and phone.. I go out of range of the T-Mobile tower. If at&t towers are around the phone should connect to it for roaming.

I have changed SIM cards out, I have also traded phones out. T-Mobile reps agree that the phone should roam. I had free roaming.

T-Mobile has always connected to other carrier towers for roaming till I got this phone.

I'll be borrowing an iPhone tomorrow to check for roaming.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Did you get a new SIM card with your s3? If so the roaming agreements change.

I have never went roaming with my s2 or s3 and they both have been everywhere. Not to mention roaming agreements aren't for everywhere, your area may not have the roaming agreement on that SIM. Have you put the old SIM from the flip phone into your s3? Either way roaming is controlled by either SIM or prl. And since T-Mobile doesn't use prl, it's gotta be your SIM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mustk1ll20:
Done everything I can. Swapped new SIM everything. I know there's roaming in my area my other phones roam here no problem. Don't have another phone that takes a micro SIM. I'm borrowing an iPhone to see if the att SIM will roam in it, if it does I know it's something with the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
If done properly the micro SIM will fit in the normal SIM slot. I use my micro SIM in my s2 all the time
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mustk1ll20:
If rather wait till tomorrow lol. I'm sure I can make it work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Haha sounds good.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bigjim1488:
This is actually pretty disturbing. I would hate to think that if I am in a area with no tmobile service that I can't roam onto another network. I travel to upstate new york and there aren't many tmo towers up there. I'm currently testing tmo as my main line is on att. This could be a deal breaker for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
There coverage is as good as att. I did notice though some places which I'd expect to have service, and didn't, got a little upset. But when I searched for networks, att came up. I am pretty sure that only in certain areas you are allowed to roam. It's not something you can just randomly choose.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bigjim1488:
Well so far I am pretty happy. The speeds are great for Internet where att was actually lacking. The only gripe I have is that the building penetration could be better
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradleyw801:
Don't know if it's related, but when I was with Sprint, I was trying to force roam in a remote area where Sprint had abysmal coverage. But I kept getting a mobile ip response registration error. I called Sprint, and the way it was explained to me was, because Sprint had a tower in the area, and I was supposed to be in network, it was rejecting my ability to roam.

It's possible that people here are experiencing the same issue. T-mobile thinks crappy coverage is still coverage, so if they think you should have service, that's enough to say you can't use AT&T.

In the area where you are seeing AT&T but not T-mo, if you go outside, can you get an T-mo signal?

You can install plugins that aren't made by the developer that will work. I'm able to run my THD games from my Xoom on my galaxy with no problem. you can also set it to when you open the app it uses that plugin instead of having to manually switch between the 3 different plugins.

Nvidia Plugin

Qualcomm Plugin

Powervr Plugin

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gtownie:
Coming from phones with smaller screens, I like to be able to drag down the notification bar enough to see who the email is from or what the notification is about, without having to pull it all the way down and back up. With the bigger screen on the EVO LTE, I'm wondering if there is a way to show the notifications starting at the bottom, so I can see them with only a slight pull on the bar, instead of having to drag all the way down.

Anyone know? Don't think it matters, but I'm on Meanrom 1.4 with S-Off.

THANKS
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] livpalm:
When CM9 or 10 is available to us you can enable tablet mode and it will place your notification bar on the bottom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
You can just flick the notification bar down, you don't have to drag it the full length of the screen. All it takes is about the width of the bar itself to send it down or back up. I know that's not an answer to your question, but it's an option.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rajah sulayman:
Figure I'd bump this rather than start a new thread. I'd also love to be able to have the notification bar at the bottom of the screen, within easy reach of my thumb without requiring me to fumble with the phone. Is there any sort of standalone mod that will do this while I'm waiting for ParanoidAndroid to eventually (hopefully) make its way to the EVO LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Goten310:
There is a WIP paranoid android ROM in the original development section. Works great and loving the ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rajah sulayman:
Well hey look at that! Thanks for the heads up -- I must've completely missed it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rieksfier:
You could also use a custom launcher and set the 1 finger pull-down to open the notification menu. Though trying to reach the settings and clear button are still impossible unless you have fingers like ET.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rajah sulayman:
Yeah - I've already got it so that it pulls down with a quick swipe. My problem is the location of the Power Controls and the Clear button.

I tried PA on my phone but I didn't like the implementation; it's much better on my n7. Even at the biggest settings, the notification panel is just too small on the Evo.

All I really want is a perfect vertical mirror of the notification bar as it is now. In other words, still full screen, it just swipes upward and all the buttons are at the bottom of the screen. I'm actually a little surprised it's not an existing mod / feature, considering how many massive phones there are now and how many of us don't have spindly alien fingers.

I have the same problem too after having upgraded my S2 from GB v2.3.5 to ICS v4.0.4 stock ROM with Kies.

I'm using only the Android calendar (My calendar), not Google's one.

I noticed that :

- previously created entries are not affected,

- newly created entries using Outlook and synced with Kies are also not affected.

I've tried to change all the (few) options but without any success.

If you have any idea...

1) remove battery and reinsert

2) go into download mode

3) ensure you got the correct Firmware and restart Odin

4) select location of files according to Firmware ( single file in PDA )

5) unchecked the " protect ops file" box on the Odin screen before starting

That should do it

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
ok, lets try this again

First remove battery and reinsert

1) "Select OPS" AriesVE.ops

2) Unzip/unrar the ROM you are flashing.

If it's a single .tar.md5 file, check the option "One Package" in Odin and then load the .tar.md5 file using the One Package button at the very bottom. Odin will load it and check the MD5 checksum. and should be over in ten minutes

If your ROM consists of several .smd files,

Select Boot_loader.tar under BOOT

Select Modem under PHONE

Select PDA under PDA

Select CSC under CSC .

Press Start, Flashing should take about 10 minutes

If it fails, than try again with protect ops unchecked
