I was unable to make phone calls for an entire day yesterday because "all circuits are busy". I was even unable to call Sprint because of the same message. I flashed the roam only module and switched to the roaming network and I was able to make my phone calls. But I also lost data connection because while roaming, there is only 1x data.
My problem now is that I cannot select the network to go to automatic. It is greyed out and stuck on Roam only ! (see pic)
I reflashed the whole Rom. No change. What do I do??

When roaming (Which is most of the time at home) my phone fails to send text messages. It just keeps trying to resend and is unable to send. I have my Data Roaming enabled (Data Roam Guard/sound are disabled) and I have always on mobile data. Under the "Roaming" setting I have it set to Automatic.
Also, something I experienced while at the Grand Canyon this weekend (Which I had full bars that were roaming) I was unable to make phone calls or use any data. I was however able to receive phone calls. My friend with a Hero that is also on the Sprint network was able to use his phone just fine. (Text/Calls/Etc)
Is there anything I can do to try and fix this issue? I rarely have no signal my only problem is that I lose a lot of functionality when roaming and this should not be the case.
I tried calling Sprint about the issue and they weren't very helpful. I'm going to try again tomorrow.
Go to Settings>System updates and update your profile and PRL. See if that helps at all.
I've done both PRL and Profile a few times. It doesn't do a thing with regards to that. Handcent just continually tries to send a text and repeatedly fails till I exit roaming the text then sends.
So I have tried doing one of those PRL hacks to use a Verizon tower and when I do that I'll get reception on the verizon towers. The only thing is at that point I can't send or receive messages or make calls. It seems to be an internal setting somewhere on my account with sprint.
The settings for data roaming on this phone is confusing. At first I was getting messages that I am getting into an area where there is roaming and click on roam to continue even though I am at home where I have service without roaming. I clicked never show this message again and clicked roam. I still get the message. Also when I woke up this morning the signal bar had a triangle above it while the bars were unlit as if i didn't have any service and then in a second it returned to normal. It also does that frequently when I have 3g off and on. What is the meaning of that?
How I do I set up the data roaming where I don't get messages? What is data guard? Also how do I set up the data roaming options where I can save battery.
What is everyone setup for data? Do you guys have it as sprint only or automatic? I would appreciate anyone's help. Thank you.
put ur roaming into sprint only by default its on automatic.
If I turn it off and go to an area where I don't have service, can I turn on roaming manually to see if I get service?
I work on the border of Texas and Mexico; the stock ROM, which I'm currently running, does not have the ability to select which phone network to connect to, so if the Texas tower is weak and the Mexican one is strong, I'm on International Roaming, which is not cheap!
I've turned off Intl Call Roaming for now, but what happens is that the phone still gets 'captured' by the Mexican signal, I just don't have any service at all.
The stock ROM allows turning off data roaming, but not voice roaming [that menu item is grayed out]. I'm considering rooting and installing a custom ROM; if anyone call tell me which ROM(s) allow network selection, I'd much appreciate it.
I was mucking about like an idiot in the ##DATA# menu and in trying to get LTE here (we're covered but my phone doesn't seem able to connect), I hit "reset APN defaults" and the 6 options I had turned into 2.
No big deal you'd think but now I can't even get a 3G signal with CDMA/LTE as my option in the regular network area of the OS. I can only get a 3G signal when I have CDMA (exclusively) selected.
The weird part is I do get a temporary 3G signal when I update my profile or PRL but then it vanishes again upon completion. I also get 3G when I force roam with Roam Control.
Does anyone have any ideas? How can I get that old APN menu back and/or fix this lack of data when not in CDMA only mode?
For anyone who runs into the same issue, your bog standard factory reset takes care of it.
I bought the N7105 from Phones4U and unlocked it to use when my SGS3 LTE was playing up but since moved my 3 SIM into the phone. It was working flawlessly for about a month but then started, maybe once per week or once every second week, getting fixed in a state where it seems to think that there's no mobile signal. Fair enough, sometimes I lose signal, however when the signal comes back the phone remains stuck in this condition. HSPA+ data is working, it shows the correct network name and can receive incoming calls but the "no entry" icon is in the notification bar and when I try to make an outgoing call I'm prevented from doing so with an error message indicated "The selected mobile network is not available". Disabling the data connection, searching for networks and toggling airplane mode don't seem to help and I can only make outgoing calls again by doing at least a soft reboot. The device is not rooted and is running stock 4.1.1. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
