Is there a way to disable the warning that pops up when roaming?
I assume the checkmarks in the settings turn off roaming entirely.

I wish I knew the answer to this as well! Checking the 'Turn Off' checkbox displayed in the roaming warning doesn't seem to remain checked! I simply get the warning again the next time roaming takes place.
I'm looking for the answer to this as well
Yes
Settings -> Wireless and network -> Roaming -> Roaming guard.
I unchecked voice and data for Domestic, I left international checked just in case I ever travel and forget.

Hello everyone
We will be moving close to the border soon and I noticed our devices (my wife also has a Desire Z, though it is stock) tend to connect to services from across the border.
Now having turned off data roaming, this isn't that big of a deal but roaming calls still cost more this way AND I can't use navigation because data roaming is deactivated.
Now I know I can set my preferred service provider, but can I also lock it (meaning: turn off roaming completely) so I have to manually allow roaming to accur when, and only when, I truly need it?
If you go to Wireless and networking settings you can select "mobile networks", the same screen you select dataroaming...
you can select your mobile provider I think that when you select Search for network and you select one network it won't automatically select a new one if your connection gets low.
That's what I thought, too, but in reality, it didn't really work. Although I have received a hint that it might only work if mobile data was deactivated at that moment. I'll try this thursday... let's see what happens.
The settings for data roaming on this phone is confusing. At first I was getting messages that I am getting into an area where there is roaming and click on roam to continue even though I am at home where I have service without roaming. I clicked never show this message again and clicked roam. I still get the message. Also when I woke up this morning the signal bar had a triangle above it while the bars were unlit as if i didn't have any service and then in a second it returned to normal. It also does that frequently when I have 3g off and on. What is the meaning of that?
How I do I set up the data roaming where I don't get messages? What is data guard? Also how do I set up the data roaming options where I can save battery.
What is everyone setup for data? Do you guys have it as sprint only or automatic? I would appreciate anyone's help. Thank you.
put ur roaming into sprint only by default its on automatic.
If I turn it off and go to an area where I don't have service, can I turn on roaming manually to see if I get service?
This is NOT the "LOS" bug, as its commonly understood, where you lose your cellular service (circle with a line for those who are lucky enough to be informed their phone crashed). This is the dreaded Roaming Triange of Data Death.
Background: Occasionally, when roaming, I lose all data connectivity, and I get the triangle warning in the notification bar that says "You have lost data connectivity be...." and of course, its impossible to read the rest of the warning. Standard deductive reasoning, assisted by posts here, tell me its a probably something like "because of your roaming data guard settings."
Some here have suggested that Samsung phones are unable to roam on PCS data.
What I did:
1) I check my roaming data settings, and I have the option to roam enabled, and roam guards enabled. I disable the roam guard. No data. I check the box again, no data.
2) I reboot the phone, no data.
3) I uncheck both the voice and data roam settings for domestic and international and reselect the domestic. I get the "Are you sure...?" prompt, and select yes. No data.
4) I uncheck the data roam guard, and then go back to Roam Settings, uncheck and recheck data roaming, and voila! I get the big triangle that asks me if I want to data roam, I say yes, and I have data again! 3G, too. I pulled 1.3mbs in the middle of the forest in northern Wisconsin. (I was roaming on Cellcom, apparently)
I was able to reproduce the problem pretty easily... It seems like when the roam guard is enabled, you don't actually get the Allow? Yes/No warning prompt when you start to data roam. However, turning it off the guard by itself didn't fix the problem... I also had to turn off the ability to data roam, and then turn it back on before the phone allowed me to roam.
I hope this helps someone else!

Yes, it's a known bug.
There were several threads about it.
Here's my own.

Well it only asked you because you turned off the Guard. Once you say yes again the Guard is rechecked.

But the guard settings should be permanent. If I have disable the roaming guard, it should never ask me if I want to roam. I shouldn't have to recheck it, and then uncheck it again in order for it to allow roaming.
I had the luck of being on a special assignment for work earlier today where there was little to no signal. What bothered me was whenever the phone would switch to roaming, a notification would appear in the status bar saying I have lost data connectivity due to me roaming and not having data roaming enabled. So, I double checked everything, all roaming options are checked (domestic & international), then I went to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Data Usage -> Menu and Checked "Data Roaming". When I did that, the notification would disappear and the 3G icon would pop up for a second then disappear again, then the notification would come right back. I double checked, and sure enough, the Data Roaming box was unchecked again. And again. And again. Any ideas?

Phone has a setting "Allow access only for this trip" for data under Mobile networks > Data roaming access".
Does anyone know how the phone detects the start and end of a trip?
I thought phone would ask for a duration for my trip, but no. It appears to be automatic so the phone automatically guesses what my trip is? Maybe based on GPS data?
I left it at "Allow access only for this trip" for several months during which I took many trips out of the country and I always had data when I was out of country, without having to re-enable "Allow access only for this trip". Also, setting remains at "Allow access only for this trip" after traveling back home. I thought it might have reset the setting to Deny access, but nope.
From my point of view the setting is equivalent to data roaming "always on" but I'd like to know more about how this works, I'm sure I'm missing something.
Obviously I searched the user manual and googled this topic extensively, but other than saying that the setting exists I found no info on how it actually works to detect when a trip starts and ends.
it is likely on network detection, if you are in another country you will be on that countries local network, then when you get back home you will go back to your home network, this would likely be the most simple way for it to detect it.
Thanks, makes sense detecting the network.
Follow-up question is:
Is the expected behavior that when you return home (on your home carrier network) that the setting doesn't change from "Allow access only for this trip" (that's what happens for me, consistently)?
Then when you take the next trip, what happens? Do you have roaming data, or not (the setting hasn't changed and is still set top "Allow access only for this trip" at the start of the next trip, do you have to select the same setting again even if it's already selected (as a radio button setting) otherwise you won't have roaming data?
