[Q] 3 operator & roaming - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
i write from Italy where the "3" company has an agreement with another operator: so if I don't have signal from 3 network I can register my phone on "TIM" network in roaming mode.
All my previous phones did this automatically, now i have to do manually: at my girlfriend's house i don't have 3 signal and i must search other operator and register on TIM manually.
When i come out i must re-search operator and register on 3 net otherwise the phone will stay in roaming (previous phones register themeselves when 3 net was detected without my intervention.
I know it's a weird issue but i don't really know how to solve --> someone has any idea?

Disable/Enable 3G/2G traffic when on different networks?

In Norway I live close to the border to Sweden. I have to roam in my area to a Norwegian Network, because my phone company only have their own network in the big cities here. Before I had an operator the had their own networks in my city.
So when I now roam with the other Norwegian network, I have to disable that "Disable network data when roaming". And sometimes I now get connected to the Swedish network and have to pay 20x times more pr MB.
Is there a way to disable 3G/2G on different networks of my choice?
Hope someone know of something that will help.
Sorry for my English.
Setting-wireless and network-mobile network-dataroming unchecked
Something like this cause mine is in dutch.
Like I said, I have to have it unched cous of my network today is not the default of my operator, so I'm romaing all the time when I use my phone. I want something that can read the operators name and then enable the 2G/3G data connection is it is one of the networks I've accepted. If it's not, then disable the connection.
Cant help you with your roamaing problem, Sorry. But maybe you should consider going back to your old network. If you have no signal at your home you may have the right to cancel your contract.
The clue is that I pay 20£(with use in Norway) until 1.1.2011 to use the phone(sms/mms, calls, MB) as much as I want for only 20£. After 1.1.2011 I'll pay 20£ for 500sms, 500 minutes and 500MB.
But that only works with the operator network and the one they rent(like I use). The one I rent belongs to Telenor, the biggest phone company, as they have the best signal too, I want to stick. But they suck at priceing, so I want to be with my new operator.
But why is it so hard to read the operator name with an app? Than then can enable/disable data connection?
My phone is Desire and it is rooted, running OpenDesire.
Sorry for misunderstanding the first time.
One option you could try is Tasker. I think it has the option to turn data off/on when connected to a certain cell tower. It's not the exact thing you asked for but i don't know any other options.
You have to program it yourself, but just download the app from there site (gives you a 7 day trial) and try it if you can make it work.
Cell Tower, is that the operators ID or the tower itselfe(a operator has many towers)?

Strange data roaming traffic with data roaming OFF

I'm facing a problem with data roaming on my OnePlus 3 with two SIM card:
SIM1 --> Data (ON), Roaming (OFF)
SIM2 --> Data (OFF), Roaming (OFF)
The last 4 days I've been abroad and my operator charged me for roaming data traffic the first 2 days, so I called them explaining that the roaming was OFF and they agreed to give me back the phone credit and suggested to deactivate also the Data (other than the roaming option). I was skeptikal but I gave it a try anyway.
Result: they charged me again for the last two days. Of course this time they refused to give me back the credit because it was the second time. However after a few minutes they called me back telling me that some phones have this problem/bug (galaxy S5 and others) and asked me for the phone brand and model (they gave me back my money also).
I checked the details on the operator website and I found 4 unwanted data connection (one for each day) of exactly 1MB (1048576 bytes). Don't know what to think and I couldn't find anything online.
Does anyone knows if this is a known problem of the OnePlus3 and if it can be fixed?
Thanks
Same issue here. I just found out that the phone connected automatically to the network and downloaded data, even when I was under WiFi at my friend's place.
Hello,
i have the same problem with OP3 / stock OOS 5.0.3, near border i'm randomly charged 0,50 eur per day, because the phone connects to foreign operator with stronger signal and Data roaming option is OFF for both SIM cards !

Block mobile data network roaming

Hi, I have a problem with my mobile provider, since last month 2 available provider in Italy unified the network. I am pledged with one of them which is "3 ITA", wich is, the main provider of both. The second provider is "I WIND".
3 ITA users goes roaming with "I WIND" when signal strength is low and this is ok, it's free and we like it. The problem is when you turn back in the first provider covered zone, but my phone keep having "I WIND" unless I manually select using settings tab the network wich I want "3 ITA 4G". I am requesting a mod/app or anything else (I have root) wich can block directly the change of mobile network. For example if 3 ITA signal is poor I don't want it roam in I WIND, any ideas?
Thank you for any reply!

Question Calls do not work when roaming

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.

Weird N976N

Hello every body
I bought this used note 10+ 5G from Dubai in last September, It was N976N/DS dual sim and I was working good in both sim cards but software in the mobile was too old so I tried to get KOO firmware to get OTA updates.
Now my mobile became so weired,
1- It became single sim phone only "N976N"
2- It considers the phone outside korea and anything related to network it named "Roaming" which made the phone loses network frequently to connect to another available network. Some times the phone changes time to show me both Seoul local time and Cairo local time same as roaming.
3- Cannot disbale or enable VOLTE option.
4- When it loses network it show me "Limited Services only".
5- Signal strength is very poor compared to my old Note 9, many calls are poor.
Notice:
On the back of the phone, it's written that the model is "N975FD" note "N976N" but the two IMEI & S-N are the same in the back and inside the options menus.
I'm bored with this phone and I didn't any person can deal with this phone.
Thank you
