Hey everyone,
I'm having the following issue: I have a Desire Z (from Germany, usually use it in Germany as well) running the latest Mimicry ROM (1.40). I recently bought an Austrian SIM card to use when I'm in Austria. When I do that, however, my phone thinks I am still roaming (as I would be if I were still using the German SIM card). Is there a setting that I am missing, somehow?
Thanks for the help!

Are you talking about small letter R that appears next to the signal strenght? I have this when I lost the singnal of my mobile network, because I can use other domestic networks without any extra charges. And it is simply national roaming.

hi,
i have a t mobile uk desire unlocked and debranded, i was using both t mobile and orange while in uk, i am in belgium now, i was using the uk sim but because of high roaming charge i changed my sim, i got base network sim, but everytime i turn on my phone it says limited service. anyone knows the problem? please help me.
i am using froyo( pays desire froyo sense v1.9).
That's strange. My new operator uses the BASE network and it works perfectly. However, since I've changed the sim card I get a sim card setting error during startup. Probably some phone settings that are automatically sent to BeNeLux Desires (Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg). But foreign devices need to configure it manually.
Since Tuesday, I am the happy owner of the Note II. I bought the SIM free model from MobiCity and use the 3 UK micro SIM I had in my iPhone (which has gone to ebay )
I installed the firmware update this evening and after rebooting, I am greeted with a roaming screen and a warning that I have no mobile data because data roaming is switched off.
I have a UK SIM and the phone detects my UK location correctly. I read somewhere that there was a bug which had data roaming enabled irrespective of the system settings.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible the fix (if actually there is one) does its job too well?
I have my G2 for over 2 years now. It was originally bought from US Tmo, and I was travelling a lot to Poland. Since I was "good" customer they send me unlock codes when I asked and on my trips I was using Polish Orange pre-paids with data and everything was working fine (actually I was doing same with G1 for well over 2 previous years). I moved to Poland and my phone was still working OK, but at some point data connection was permanently lost (only cell data - WiFi works fine): phone tries to connect at various speeds (icon cycles) but no connection or data transfer is established. Tried that on my old G1 and same thing happens. I went to Orange and they checked my settings, phone, sim card and found nothing - they even replaced my SIM card (for free), but still the same - they got no other suggestions.
So I decided to root my phone (in hope it will solve problem) and installed different rom (CM7). No change - I tried to install different radios - no change.
I noticed that my data connection stopped working around time when TMobile got into Poland. So my question is if it is possible that Orange started blocking something (tmo phones) - if possible what could indicate to orange that my phone is tmo (it is rooted). Maybe there is something else I can try to change/flash or it might be totally different problem - like they started using both frequencies simultaneously and US phones have only 2100 in common?
Would appreciate any help. Of course I can try to switch to tmo or other carrier, but I like my number and a lot of people have it and with prepaid it is almost impossible to switch to other prepaid and not to loose number - and I don't want any contracts.
APN's?
Could it have something to do with the APN's for the data side of the phone? Have you looked into those values (for both Orange and T-mobile) to see which one you have?
You must change APN configuration
Hi,
My girlfriend recently ordered a HTC desire 820, which finally arrived yesterday. I was a little concerned when I noticed all manuals and quick start guide etc was printed in Chinese. Started up the phone - also default language was Chinese.
After setting up and inserting her old Orange SIM card her signal is always showing as with the small "R" for roaming. The Cell towers she connects to reports as EE since EE now owns Orange and t-mobile. but HTC recognises the SIM as Orange.
I've tried manually selecting the network to Orange which removed the roaming for about 30 seconds or less. I gave up and went to bed at this point as it was already time consuming as she did the usual forget every password possible along the way trick! I woke up this morning and asked her to try setting it to 3G only mode, but apparently this didn't help.
I thought perhaps I could flash a new UK CSC to the phone and this would somehow fix the Roaming issue? If this is correct, where can I get the correct CSC for EU/GB? Current firmware version is 1.20.707.2.
Any help is appreciated!
Setup:
sim: O2 - UK
e-sim: Orange - PL
I'm currently in Poland
Everything has been working fine until some 3 days ago. Since then:
O2 UK is showing as fully properly connected to a local network (roaming)
I can receive and send text messages via O2 UK (roaming)
Nobody can call me on my O2 UK number
I cannot make calls using the O2 UK number (I'm getting "the service you are trying to use is not available for this number" - in Polish and English, so presumably from the Polish roaming operator)
The O2 UK simcard has no issues in my old Oneplus mobile phone (it does take some 10min to work fully), so I know that roaming works. O2 have also confirmed that the roaming is unrestricted for me and they see no issues on their side.
I have tried manually selecting the network with little success (it keeps disconnecting and then switching back to automated selection).
Any ideas or similar experiences? :-/
Try forcing it to use hspa network, disable volte, etc.
