In the Settings > Phone > Services > Network Service pane, I changed my Preferred network to "Home only" because I live close to the US and don't want my phone switching to an american tower without my knowledge.
Because I did that, whenever I power on my phone or do a Soft Reset, there is a "Network Status" notification message that just says "Home Only"
How do I get rid of this annoying message?
LoL, sorry to bump an old thread, but I used the SEARCH function for this same problem I'm experiencing and this thread came up
Here's the fix! Found it myself

Probably a silly question, but here goes. Is there any way of stopping wifi from finding new networks? I only really want to connect to my wifi network at home (which it does automatically) but it keeps giving me popups with new networks to connect to. I tried selecting 'don't show this message again' but it makes no difference, the same networks keep on popping up.
Am I missing something?
Start > Settings > Personal > Sounds and notifications (i think, got the norwegian rom so not sure) > Notifications > Choose "New wireless network discovered" (or something like that) from the list, and uncheck "show message on screen".
should do the trick.
it's there but it's unchecked on my pda and it still does it
I have the Fuze version on at&t network. I've disabled 3G on AT&T's side so there is no way to connect through there.
Nevertheless, my phone ALWAYS tries to connect to the 3G network and i've disabled 3G connections using Nodata.cab, advancedconfig, diamondtweaks.
Still, the warning signs always come up:
"there is a problem connecting to the gprs service in your registered home network warning"
and this occurs, when I turn on the phone and many other times.
Is there a way to disable this warning? I know I cant connect, its because i disabled it!!!!
anyone? it comes up like 50x a day andi have to click OK to make it go away every single time
Have you unchecked the auto update setting for the weather program? Doing this worked for me.
did that, but didnt fix the problem. anything else that can be auto updating or trying to contact the 3G network?
Go to start -- settings -- connections -- connections --advanced -- select network.
Here I think you can change the defaults so that when ever a program tries to use internet it will either use wifi (if available) or nothing....
I have blocked the wireless internet access on all my lines and this is how I solved the problem of getting gprs disconnect warnings.
Hope this helps.
Is it possible to just disable this warning?
I'm switching between my personal and business SIM cards quite often, and I have the data connection disabled on the business card, while on personal I have a data plan, so I want to be always-online.
I disabled aGPS and now i dont get the warning as much. (remember, i disabled GPRS from att side).
when i start my phone, i get 1 warning (i used to get 3?)
maybe i'm on the right track...
But the point is not to disable features so they don't auto-connect to the Internet.
The point is for the OS to try to onnect automatically, but when it failes - it doesn't have to scream that to your face every 5 minutes.
I'm bumping this thread cause I did the same thing and want to know how to disable the message as well.
still no answer to this
Translating from Dutch, so bear with me:
Go to Personal > phone > network settings and put the band on GSM.
Note that you won't be able to use the 3G + H data connections then.
my father has the same problem on his Diamond, need help!
bump, i have the same problem as well
any solutions?
i have a solution.
download > install > and run NOGPRS.cab aka No Data. that will shut it up. i just had the same problem and i did that and now i havnt gotten any... i think i might get like one if i turn the phone on and off and what not, but other then that its fine.
Solution to GPRS warning message
Go to settings > Connections > Connections > advanced > select networks >
now check both options to 'my work network'
click ok
and reboot
the irritating message will go away.
until you again reinstall the sim into your phone and it will automatically reconfigure the settings.
Just repeat the above process.
solution
1. Tap Start.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Phone.
4. Tap the Network Tab.
5. Tap the Network Selection Drop down.
6. Tap Manual.
7. Tap the desired network.
8. Tap Ok.
I just got a new FUZE and I'm already annoyed with an issue I'm having:
Halfway on the way home my phone kicks over to my neighbors to the north - Robbers Wireless. I live fairly close to the Canadian border and my FUZE seems to like Robbers more than it does the Deathstar, leading to roaming charges up the... you know.
Is there any way of disabling roaming of any kind, be it voice or data, preferably automatically? People suggest NoData.cab, but that is no good to me - I'll not notice myself hit the Rogers towers until the last second - hitting Home and seeing "Rogers Wireless" in my upper left corner. My phone never alerted me to data roaming yet it kept a data connection open the entire drive home and hopped to Rogers.
I kept trying to select networks from Start > Settings > Phone but it kept locking onto Rogers and didn't offer me a choice of AT&T at all.
Have you tried choosing your network manually instead of automatic?

Doesn't give me a choice if I'm looking where I should be.
Start > Settings > Phone > Network shows only 2 things:
"Current Network: AT&T"
and a [Find Network] button. No network selection or anything was offered to me.
Call AT&T and tell them to disable international roaming.
Been using Raphael for nearly two years on vodafone, no problems. It was a contract phone. Unlocked out of the box, flashed spl and elite rc3 the next day. also no problems whatsoever.
Now, bought another phone and let my missus have Raph. All is good and well but for the life of me i cant figure out how to add a messaging center number, since the phone cannot SEND texts. Fine with receiving though.
Whats tried:
1. Settings > Personal > Phone > Services > VMail and Text Messages > Get settings.
Result - Reading from network and then network error, reading "Cannot read settings from the network. Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again." Data connection is on, but it can be more of the same - settings are wrong for data connection. Also tried to use my wifi as data - no dice.
2. Settings > Connections > Advanced Network > SMS Setvice > set to GSM (Originally "GSM Preferred").
Other sources indicate that its HERE that should be messahing center number filled in, but there are no fillable fields apart from pulldown to change "SMS Over", options are GSM, GSM Preferred, GPRS, GPRS Preferred. And thats it...
The card i try to run is O2 Pay-Go.
I'm out of ideas. Help...
#UPDATE# Sorted !!!

Daaaamn.... never thought it would be something this twisted... Worked though...
I have had several instances where something I have done to my phone created a situation where I had no phone dialing capability. The error message when attempting to dial is "mobile network not available", and I'd get notice of "searching for network".
Restoring the com.android.phone app did not help with this. Neither did the suggestion seen elsewhere about entering ##72786# into the keypad to reprogram. The past solutions was to do a factory reset/wipe and then a restore of apps...pain in the a**.
Today I was able to work out another solution that has resolved this issue for me (at least this time)!.
1. Download Anycut app from http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1281882094_Any_Cut_1.0.apk, and open.
2. Make a new shortcut to activity named IOTHiddenMenu (the first one of three with the same name in the list)
3 Open this shortcut and select the following: TestMode Menu>UTMS>Debug Screen>Phone Control>Network Control>Band Selection>Automatic, then hit back twice to get to your main screen.
4. Download Phone Info ([email protected]) from Google Play, and open
5. Use Phone Info app to change preferred network type "“LTE/CDMA/EvDo" (click on Device Information and scroll down for first box to select and change).
If this works to solve your same issue, let me know in the thread.
And if it helps...give a thanks.
Lair12, now that I am back in the US, for the first time since using my S3 outside the US, I'm getting the no network error as you describe here...
I've tried the steps you describe here, but I still can't dial out (I do have 4g data).
I was wondering if you might have any other ideas before I start flashing? Any insights would be greatly Appreciated!
I had a similar issue recently where I could receive texts and utilize data but nothing else. Attempting to dial out would lead to the "Mobile Network Not Available."
This problem first occurred after putting a T-mobile sim in the phone. I tried numerous things such as playing with the phone settings in phoneinfo and I even restored the Verizon image which re-rooted my phone but nothing would help.
I decided to place my microsim into my thunderbolt (with an adapter of course). The thunderbolt worked just fine (phone calls, SMS and Data).
I then placed the microsim from the thunderbolt back into the S3 and everything went back to working as normal. Not sure if it will work for anyone else but I figured I would share since I went crazy trying to find a solution that did not require a full factory reset.
Well, just to close the loop, I was never able to restore my voice connection... I ended up having to reset the phone back to stock to get it back...
Oh well, it gave me a reason to try out CM10!

I'm necro-ing this thread since it just happened to me and I found a fix on CM10.1 given the root cause. Also, Anycut no longer exists in the store -- try using "QuickShortcutMaker" instead.
This seems to happen when the radio gets switched off the correct frequency. To get it back (in CM10.1), you have to dial *#*#4636#*#* . As soon as you hit the last *, you will be taken to a "Testing" menu.
Click "Phone information" then make sure your phone number and IMEI look roughly correct. Then press the "Menu" softkey and then "Select radio band". For Verizon CDMA/LTE, this should be set on "Cellular (800-MHz)". Tap it, and the signal indicator in the menu bar should go back to normal. Also make sure the "Preferred network type" is set to "LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)". (This is also where you enable "GSM auto (PRL)" if you want to make it a WorldPhone.)
The other option in here is USA band (GSM-850/PCS-1900/WCDMA-850/WCDMA-PCS-1900), which I presume is for GSM compatibility since "Global" isn't an option in the "Mobile Networks" menu in CM10.1 (without a certain cherrypick).

Interesting, thanks for the follow up!
I'm currently running Paranoid Android, but this my work for that as well. The next time I leave the US for work, (if I see this issue) I'll give it a try..
Doesnt Work for me, BUT EFS Pro Does!

Re-Necromancing Again....
Doesnt work for me. I had to push "call" after entering last star same error- no mobile network... Thought I would give it a try since I hit the wrong option on the screen. I was looking at the LTE options and got distracted... I did however get EFS Pro to Open IOTHiddenMenu. It is like the 2nd or 3rd tab, you will know it when you see it. Now to find out where (IOTHiddenMenu) is hiding on the actual phone. I did find
*#22745927
This shows an option to hide or show the "hidden menu".
I tried enable and a reboot, but no luck. Looks like EFS Pro is My Solution currently.
