I have been trying to get the data connection to work, when I am in a 2G coverage area, however I didn't have any luck.
3G works ok, but as soon as it goes on the GSM as apposed to WCDMA setting, none of the online options are available.
Do I have to set another access point on the phone to get data when I only have GSM (2G) coverage?
Hmmm, for some strange reason, yesterday while at work, I couldn't connect to T-mobile's 2G data network (GPRS)... Yesterday evening it shutdown by itself (empty battery) and after I restarted it, I have 2G data connection... very slow but it is there...
I wonder what may have been the problem. Any thoughts?
I am a bit confused as to what constitutes roaming with Sprint. As far as I can tell, the only way to tell what network I am on is the little network indicator on the notification bar. I have a few questions, and I apologize if they are stupid ones. I tried searching for the answers, but have come up short.
Is there ever any time where my network indicator will read 3G and I will be roaming?
Am I always roaming whenever it says 1X?
I hear people mention EVDO, is that the same thing as 1X? If not, is EVDO considered roaming or not?
Also, I have a couple of questions about the roaming options on CyanogenMod. If I change my network to "Affiliated Networks," I am unable to get data transfers to work unless I turn on both Data Roaming and International Data Roaming, despite the fact that I am well inside the borders of my country. Is this a well known issue, or am I experiencing something out of the ordinary?
Thanks in advance.

2.not always roaming when it says 1x but if you are roaming it will always show 1x

#2 isn't exact, I used to get 3g (EVDO) on my HTC touch diamond when roaming at work.

its not supposed to connect to 3g when roaming.
Don't you get a triangle next to your signal bar if you're roaming? I do. That would also indicate data roaming as well....
is there an advantage to roaming? I get free 3g data but I usually keep in on the sprint mode and turn off roaming.
Whats the benefit of keeping it on?

If you leave roaming turned off, you can hit areas where you either need to roam or you will get 1x data. Turning on roaming gives you the best chance to maintain a fast connection.
I found several options that I thought would force roaming, but it never seemed to work.
I was at a lakehouse recently where sprint coverage was present, but weak, but my buddy's droid 1 (VZ) was solid. I thought I could force myself on Verizon, but wasn't able to.
Is this easily doable through software? Or did I just dream all this up?

Roam Control works for voice, but for data, it only allows 1x speeds. To get full 3g speeds while roaming, you need to flash the Verizon PRL.
im having same problem, when im on sprint signal 3g and 4g works fine, but when i roam im just getting 1x speed before i rooted my phone i had 3g speed while roaming but on the other roms i have tried only 1x,
is there a fix for this?
update: i flashed back to the original stock rom that i had backed up and im getting 3g speeds while roaming so I know it cant be a prl issue it has to be a flaw in peoples roms? can anyone confirm a actual rom that has 3g speed while roaming????
I've tried searching the web for an answer for this but i keep coming up with the GS3 wifi bug that has a different description.
What i want to know is if im still on roaming while on wifi. The "R" signal disappears whenever I connect to wifi.
Hope someone can let me know asap as im waiting for a very important call from overseas.

Assuming that the R you are refering to stands for data roaming, then no, you shouldn't be data roaming once you connect to wifi. As for signal roaming, for your reception for voice calls, then I wouldn't think toggling wifi would affect that, you will still be roaming.
Has anyone switched over to Straight Talk with this phone? I have it working on Straight talk using Verizon towers, but my 3G speeds are really slow, as in 100kbs slow but it shows the 3G symbol. Does anyone have a fix or suggestion for fixing this problem? Also, sometimes the data connection fails and it says error code 89: cannot make data call...
