Any solution for roaming problem?

Hello!

Did you managed to get rid of the roaming (R) icon above the signal bars?

I know there is also the NFC problem, but that one doesn't bother me, I don't use the NFC functionality so I disabled it and there are no problems.

Roaming problem on the other hand, whenever I disable the Wi-Fi or I go out of the Wi-Fi coverage area, I keep seeing the notification:

"Data Roaming"

"No connection. Data roamning is off."

I have tried all suggested solutions from different sources and none of them worked:

1. Installed various firmwares (D5803, D5833, Global, Central Europe, USA, etc) - I live in Romania, Europe and I use "orange" oprator. (no luck) :(

Extra info

: I also tried the branded firmware from Orange Romania but didn't work, still roaming...

URL

: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706

2. Rooted (with 4.4.4 and also with 5.0.2). (no luck) :(

Extra info

: I just rooted the firmwares from D5803, didn't try the original firmware SO-02G.

can I flash the other firmware on my Z3c Three Carrier from UK (but it's unlocked for world-wide and I use it here in Vietnam) ??

Hi guys!

Quick question, my Z3C is currently locked to Bell Canada (waiting for the unlock code). When I look at the service info, the customization version is: 1288-5411_R9C. When I look up that number on the first page I see: 23.1.A.0.690 - Unbranded - NORDIC (1288-5411).

Is that correct for a Canadian phone to be on unbranded - nordic firmware? What should I be flashing it too? I know that its locked to Bell since it only works with that sim for all others its asking for an unlock. Help appreciated.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
No, the correct customization number for Bell Canada is 1289-7538 that is still on old 23.0.A.2.93_R6B kitkat ;)

So somebody flashed your device with Nordic unbranded which was one of the first firmware updated to Lollipop.

Sim-locking is not bound to firmware version in any way, therefore you can flash any firmware you want.

I suggest you install the USA unbranded which is the one pre-installed on Canadian unbranded z3 compact and is better for north-american networks ;)

Anyway, you can revert to Bell firmware with XperiFirm if you need...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
hi guys! would like to try LP soon, but still have to decide what FW to flash... actually I would like to flash a FW with no data indicator spacing problem, so would like to flash one with good icon instead (see also this)... only one which is good is the CE1?

I remember I saw a post some time ago with a list with the kind of data icons present in each country/FW, but can't find it anymore :(

TIA!

CE1 is running fine for me :) But there is also an Italian FTF. The Decission is yours ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
yes that was the post! great thanks! ;)

good so when 2.84 recovery will come I will "just" have to find a deodexed/pre-rooted version + 2.8.4 recovery integrated and finally it should be a fw with good data icon :p

edit: I see from your sign you have done already most of the work I would need... if only you could make a deodexed variant.... (need xposed :o ) or someone could tell me how to do that myself... it is not as easy as deleting all .odex files right? :D will try googling for it!

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
great thank you so I will wait for your next release, hopefully 2.8.4 will come soon :)

as per the deodexing procedure, will look around :)

(I know the deodexed version by serajr, but it has the data indicator problem - brazilian fw base I guess - and also as per the requirements it seems it can not be flashed directly over a KK fw... while yours can be flashed directly over a KK fw I guess right? :) )
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vcdwelt:
Yes right, the on i have created is a complete Pre Rooted FTF, the one from serajr needs already a LP as base. Hope also for a quick update from NUT :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
wonderful will wait for yours so and if xposed will have problems (probably) will try fully debloating it first. if that won't fix xposed, hopefully will try to deodex it (if I understand how to do that in the meantime :p )

edit: this seems useful for that :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pepitoff:

Can i somehow find out what firmware country i had before i puted lolipop on my z3c 5833?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marius.a:
most of the 5833 sold in europe, i saw them 1288-5480 (Customized MY). i have the same and two friends of mine from eu, with same customization. Most probably you had same too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
You can only decompile FTF. There's no way to re-compile, except for Sony... :rolleyes:

With this tool you can make a pre-rooted firmware with recovery: http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904

but you'll get a zip file!

For debloating/rooting/creating your own ROM, maybe you need a rom kitchen like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246

but you'll get always a zip file...

You can check on the box of your phone... there's a "1234-5678" code, that it your SI NUMBER (it is NOT your customization number!!!)

Then you'll search on the internet this number and if you're lucky, you'll find out which country it comes from (...and its brand)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pilauda:
I cant find that one, is there harm if i put for example 23.0.1.A.5.77 - Unbranded - Australia (1288-4214), will it continue update software itself from sony update or i will always need to update via flash tool?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marius.a:
if you put 23.0.1.A.5.77 - Unbranded - Australia (1288-4214), when will appear new update for 1288-4214, you will receive it normally, through sony companion.

if you need 1288-5480 (Customized MY) i can upload for you

testing it, don't like so much the UI... status bar color is messed up with most of the apps! well will see other important things :) and data indicator is OK :o

strange thing is that I heavily debloated myself the CE1 fw from your zip (not deodexed yet) and installed xposed + GB....so far never had a bootloop....!? I'm enjoying GB right now with many mods already enabled and working.... will keep you guys informed! ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] b_boy_9x:
Are u now using Z3c docomo version ? If yes, it means that your current carrier's network is not registered in the phone (or something like that). All you have to do is root, install xposed then run the module name "National roaming" then you can get rid of the Roaming icon, actually it's not affect to the phone's battery or anything, just the display icon problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] SpyKeey:
Possible solution?

Thank you! :) I am already rooted, I will search for the "National Roaming" module from Xposed and give it a try. I know is not affecting me in any way, (no extra costs, no battery issues). The only problem is the "Data Roaming - No connection. Data roamning is off." notifications that keeps showing after each call, and when I lose Wi-Fi connection.

If you flash the Nordic one, you will get updates for the Nordic one.

Anyway you can revert to the UK version when it will be available... ;)

Differences? Just different bloatware, yes, this is the main difference :D and maybe something about network settings, but Nordic is European and in Europe networks work the same way. So you can flash with no worries...

Some people did it and they reported it worked.

They're almost the same model, so it's not a surprise if it works.

Your phone, your choice.

One thing I find that Apple is so much better at, updates. Right now I'm installing 8.3 on my iPad, the day it was released. Yes I know it's not something that can be done as easily on Android but I seriously don't see why it should take 4 to 5 months for large phone manufacturers like Sony, LG, Samsung and HTC to get the updates ready for their current devices. It just seems appalling to me.

In the end I went against the advice not to flash D5803 firmware. Been running for a few days now without a factory reset and everything has been going fine.
