##DATA# Menu - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

In the ##DATA# menu, there is a menu tree called EVDO, with a sub selection called "DDTM."
What does this selection actually do? I thought it had to do with calls interrupting data?
I ask because I changed this setting to off, and it fixed the ONE instance I had of the losing the data connection... No reboot required, it just suddenly came back with the roam warning, and I had data again.
And now, even though the setting itself SAYS "ON", when I go to change the setting, "OFF" is actually selected. I still get calls while streaming Netflix, so I'm wondering if something is wrong with this particular piece of the firmware?

im curious to know this too!

With DDTM, whenever you are actively using 3G, it will disable calls as opposed to stopping the 3G in order to take the call. So leaving that off is good, because if you were just chillin' and your phone is in your pocket and it starts syncing...and then you get a call..that call is going straight to voicemail while it finishes syncing.

That's why my wife was pissed, she said she would call and call and i would never answer but my phone never rang. Just changed it to off

Thanks for the insight because I kept getting voicemails without the phone ringing and thought I was just losing my mind

It must have just been a pure coincidence that my data came back (after 5 minutes of no radio indicator, and error 97s) when I toggled that.
I hate coincidences!

[Q] international data roaming alert?

I cant find an answer to this anywhere. If i missed something then im sorry.
i randomly get an alert for "international data roaming" on my evo. theres some text beyond that but it gets cut off. i think it starts as "you have entered internation...." and then its cut off. it seems to only happen when im connected to wifi. turning wifi off then on clears it. pressing the clear button removes it for a little while then it pops up again. it mostly happens at home, where i have horrible reception(0-2 bars), and has happened once or twice at work where i get ok to decent reception.
has this happened to anyone else? its been happening almost on a daily basis since i rooted back in January. hasn't shown up on any bills.
i don't have "international data roaming" enabled, nor do i have "national data roaming" enabled. "data enabled" is checked. "system select" is et to automatic.
this has happened on every rom iv used. gingerbread and froyo.
again, if theres something i missed please let me know.
thanks in advance!

I get that same message using CM7.....don't look too much into it. I don't get the message every single time but I would say, once a week I think. All I did to fix it was go into settings/mobile networks and toggle international data roaming on and off. If that doesn't get rid of the message then just reboot........Oh and don't worry, you're not being charge anything extra or whatever!
If that doesn't solve your problem, my advice would be to flash a sense rom or try another rom because to my knowledge, the CM7 rom is the only one that has that message pop up randomally.
more than anything i just find it annoying, it shouldnt be there. iv gotten it on all cm7's, evokings gingerbread, and the savage gingerbread. its not urgent, i just realy want it to go away..
For security purposes at some point sprint will turn off international calling if not used. Sounds like it may fix it, but I can not be sure.
this happens, for me at least, when i roam onto another carrier. if unchecked ill get voice but no data. enabling it allows me to data roam. why it thinks its international idk.

[Q] Cannot turn off constant Data Roaming Notifications

Has anyone else been seeing near constant Roaming Notifications? The little triangle up int the notification bar.
I have unchecked everything in Roaming Guard and I am still getting the notifications. Is there some other setting to turn off these notifications?
I'd like to know how to stop these as well. Tho, mine wont let me uncheck the ones under GSM roaming. I thought I glimpsed somewhere that the way to turn that off was to remove a particular apk file and folder in the systems folder... but I can't find it again.
Mine remain checked as well, though they remain grey so I am not concerned with them. The only way I have been able to eliminate the messages is to change Settings>More Settings>Roaming>Roaming Network
Change to "Home Only". This is my workaround, but I dont think its the answer as I believe it eliminates additional roaming networks.
I get them all the time too and they're annoying. I ignore them. Now it's like the Boy who cried Wolf.
I turned my setting to sprint only instead of automatic roaming and I don't get the notification anymore but I will probably not be able to roam when out of sprint service area as well

I get them to and have changed the setting and they always revert back to the original. Getting very angry. How is this stopped?
Has anyone been able to resolve this?? its freaking annoying! the dang thing wont stay off!
Anyone ever find a way to delete the dang notification? Just really annoying... If someone can give me a starting point, I could try diving in, but I have no idea where to start.
Have any of you guys tried turned off the sprint connection optimizer? I've read somewhere that it stops these notifications.

I never thought that might be what keeps the network data notification going, you might be right. I had the Sprint optimizer disabled but when I went into mange apps it showed it disabled but there was a little box checked for notifications. So, for good measure I uninstalled the app completely. I'll report back with the results in a while... I hope that eliminates that annoying crap! Thank you!
UPDATE: arrrrrrrRrrggghhhh ! Still popping up.... thanks anyway. There has got to be some line of code to remove, I just wish I knew how to find the offender.
I have these roaming notifications also. Just ignored them. I'll see if I can stop them and report back.

Did anyone ever figure this out?
I'm having a problem trying to disable the Roam Guard settings. The Roaming network is set to Automatic, but I cannot un-check the Voice and Data (actually it prompted me when roaming and had a little check box to not show again for Data, but Voice is still selected and doesn't give the little check box to not show again) roaming guards for Domestic Data or International Data with exception to "Outgoing SMS" in International. I am stumped. Had them unchecked before, but had to change the Roaming network to "Home Only" because my phone was having trouble connecting to an Airave. I immediately switched it back to Automatic once it connected, and now I cannot disable the Roam Guard
Any ideas? Screen Shot attached.
1. ##SCRTN#
2. Reboot
3. Hands Free Activate
4. Reboot
5. Update Profile/PRL
Roam Guard boxes should be restored / not grayed out.

No 3g signal/icon

My e4gt is flashed to verizon. Saturday I lost my 3g signal so I have no access to the internet. I called verizon and they said everything looks good on their end. My phone appears to be roaming. Or Im getting the triange instead of the 3g icon. I have done the factory reset and reflashed gb27.
Verizon told me to input *228 however when i do it then ask for me to press option 1 but i dont have a keypad and when i try to go to the dialer it takes me back to the screen for the phone activation. If i wait it appears to default to that option 1 and says the activation is complete.
Also my lock screen use to say Sprint on it even though it worked on Verizon. Now it says, "preferred System". I still get phone calls and sms. However when I place a call or receive one it bring ups the data warning.
I also keep getting an error stating, "error 89/: unknown error please try again". Which I would guess has something to do with the lack of an internet connection
Please help I am lost at this point.
Im in the same boat.I had it reflashed but after 2 days i have the same problem. I tried everything but im back to square one

Sprint LG G2 (LS980) Data Roaming Bug

Does anyone experience this scenario where the "Data Roaming" check box seems to uncheck itself in Settings/Mobile Data (hit the Menu button to check "Data Roaming" on)?
Even if I have it set on to Data Roam, every once in a while, it seems to uncheck itself. How do I know this, there's a certain section in the building I work where I usually always roam on Verizon (voice and data, no problem) and previous phones I've had (Note 2 and iPhone 5s) would roam just fine.
With the G2, I'll notice that a triangle pops up in the top left telling me that I've lost data connection because I have Data Roaming turned off. Of course I set it to data roam.
Lo and behold I go into Settings and Data Roaming has turned itself off again, so I check the box to Data Roam and data starts flowing. It will stick for most of the day or two until I notice it again, and the cycle repeats itself.
It gets really frustrating if I don't notice this phantom behaviour because I could be in this particular location for quite sometime and not notice that I don't have data because it's unchecked itself, again.
Anyone?
Mine will stay ticked but ***** that it is disabled. It's annoying.

I have a similar problem in that the box will stay checked, but I get "Data Roam Guard" notifications all of the time, even though I have the setting to not get the notifications. When I click remember this setting it doesn't take, and I also get the triangles regularly. It's very annoying.
Sadly I've gone back to my 5S. Just couldn't take it anymore constantly losing data where I never did before. Still keeping the phone hoping a not too far in the future update helps.
I can't believe this isn't happening to more people. Can't even find an inkling anywhere. Weird bug.
Very annoying. I have the same issue.
Just got my lg g2 2/15 great phone and i too am having the same issue is there a fix yet? i to am in and out of sprint service and have to keep turning it back on (put a check back in the roam box)

I Guess just a few of us have the data issue so short of returning the phone i called sprint to see if they had any ideas. had them create a trouble ticket to address the issue so will give it a few more days see what happens. Other than this major bug phone is great.

It seemed to only happen after the recent OTA update. I got so frustrated I reset the phone to factory, but still no fix. Anyone have an update on this bug?
On 4.4.2, same issue, no update here.

"call ended" immediately

Starting today, my Note 4 gets into a mode where whenever I place a phone call, the phone immediately says "Call ended" and hangs up before even connecting.
Signal strength is fine and nothing has changed today (including my physical location).
I've tried clearing cache/data on the Phone app and force-stopping the Phone app, but that doesn't fix the problem.
If I reboot the phone, then the problem does disappear for a while and I can place calls normally. But within an hour or so it's back in "Call ended" mode.
Since rebooting always fixes it immediately, the problem appears to be with the phone and not the carrier. I'm running the latest OTA version (COC4), totally stock.
Does anyone know of a solution, or at least a quicker workaround than rebooting?
the same thing is happening to me... last update
Factory reset, as much as it sucks it fixes most issues, not all obviously
Go into network settings turn off enhanced 4g lte services. Go into apn settings and reset to default. Reboot.
Similar situation happened to me.

I am having very similar symptom now on my Galaxy S6 Stock, however resetting APN not work
, is there still hope not to go factory resetting? I found some people not having problem solved but yet have to face a empty phone again and again, what a waste of time :silly:
BTW, I can have this "call ended" immediately" issue fixed for like 30 mins by switch between voice call mode like 4G/3G/2G automatic <-> 3G/2G automatic, but after a short time it goes back again, turn out the fix not quite helpful because even inbound calls result in as "no receiving", quite an issue.
