Hello I was just wondering if there is any way to force my phone to roam. I'm just doing some network comparisons and was wondering if I can make my phone roam on ATT. My Tmobile galaxy nexus finds the network but never connects to it.
nobody can help with this or what
Try change your APN settings to a different carrier, or set your network to a different Carrier (Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators)

Hi,
i live near the border so my phone sometimes roam to another foreign network. I was wondering if there is any way or app that could help me block these foreign networks and just stay at 'limited service' if my local network is not available.
Thanks
Set your phone network manually to one provider in settings. Also I think I saw some roaming on/off widgets around.

just go in to wireless and networks>mobile network and uncheck the data roaming
As in not data roaming but roaming itself. And is there any free apps? Cuz I can't find any.
I have a galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) originally on Rogers form Canada. I bought an Un lock code and unlocked it. The phone shows signal, makes calls and SMS, but NO 4G and NO network access. (internet pages don't load when disconnected from WiFi)
Under Mobile Network I cannot connect to ATT's network. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Or is there a ROM i need to install after I ROOT the phone? Do I even need to ROOT it? (Sorry in advance, i come from the world of Jailbreaking, but have rooted Droids in the past)
Thx!
I'm not an expert, but you probably need to check your APN settings, and change them to AT&Ts if they aren't already. You can check this in Settings -> More Settings (in Wireless and networks section) -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
I don't know what the AT&T settings should be, but you can probably find it easily enough. Also, you might want to Shut down the phone, remove the SIM, reboot without a sim, then shut down and put it in again to make it read the APN settings from the sim
Try flashing the ATT rom and see if that makes it work to start.
Got It!!!
I had to manually add my APN settings. I was over looking the button on the bottom left to configure it.
Thanks for the help!:cyclops:
Does the SGH-I747 (Rogers version form Canada) pick up LTE on AT&T?
I recently bought an unlocked Galaxy S3 (T999) and have set it up for use with Straight Talk, but I have an issue with the phone auto selecting network operators (settings>more settings>mobile networks>network operators). My straight talk sim will only work when the At&t network operator is selected. My phone, however, will automatically switch the network operator to T-Mobile when my signal for At&t is poor, even though I can't roam or use it. This is annoying because it makes it appear that I have signal bars, when in reality with At&t I don't.
Is there any way to disable the phone automatically changing these settings, and is there a way to edit the Default Setup option, it's currently greyed out and unchangeable. Thanks for your help!

That's not it. The only one on is the straight talk one. Any other ideas on how to stop the auto network operator changes?
My stock, unrooted SGN3's LTE is not working. This may be a T-Mobile issue. I know when I had a rooted LG G2, this helped me: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494803
Is there any fix like this for the N3?
Settings -> connections tab -> more networks -> mobile networks -> network mode
Select what you want.
If you have LTE already selected and you don't have LTE, you are either in a non LTE area or you have a phone issue, call T-Mobile.
I'm on EE UK but the preferred network type setting doesn't appear to be present in SIM options?
It appears that some providers suck hard and don't want to allow you to switch networks. That's not a phone thing-y, it's a provider thing-y. Which means that your phone will of course still change networks, but only if the "higher" one is not available, ergo your phone will only connect to 4G, if 5G is not available - if the 5G connection is bad, that will probably cause problems for you, because your phone will probably not want to connect to 4G automatically.
I can easily switch preferred network types
Settings -> Network & Speed -> SIMs -> (scroll down, between 4G Calling & Carrier settings version) -> Preferred network type (5G, 4G, 3G, 2G).
It that's not available, your network carrier sucks. No more to say here.
I'd suggest you either switch providers, or contact your provider to see if they are willing to change this. It's definitely on their end, cuz people like me can change the settings easily.

You may be able to change preferred network type with *#*#4636#*#* dialer code.

EE (& BT Mobile) hide the menu.

Or you could just make sure Adaptive Connectivity is enabled and not worry about it.
You would have to drag me away from EE (BT Mobile) screaming and kicking given the coverage and speeds they have, to say they suck over one menu option missing is absolutely laughable.

When the Note 20 first came out a lot of carriers wouldn't let you change network type but there's an app in the play store that was working on the notes.
Force 4G/5G Only - Apps on Google Play
Lock your phone to 4G/5G mode or VoLTE network

Crashes or alternately just disappeared for me when I click on the first option "4G LTE with only one SIM". Reported the crash. Thanks, though. Maybe they'll update it.
An alternative to the dialer code is to boot into safe mode, and the preferred network type setting will appear in: Settings -> Network & internet -> SIMs between Data warning & limit and Carrier settings version (at least it does on my Google Fi Pixel 6 Pro).
