so gonna write a short one now.
i am running darkforce wm6-very stable does what i want it to do in the uk
howvever in stockholm at present and cannot browse internet or send/recieve email for what will amount to the same the problem.
the handset is obvioulsy unlocked and with t-mobile,but when abroad last year with different wm5 roms -no problems everything worked fine,have spoken to t-mobile who are about as much use as a choclate tea pot
1) when trying to connect to internet-it does nothing-if i force the connection and get it use the csd t-mobile -i get 'failed to dial' message
2) when trying to retrive pop3 email(no exchange server involved) get new message about extra charge as roaming and then it try to connect for a spilt second before displaying error syncronising
i can roam all networks pick everything up?
please help people

hello,
I've no probleme with data connection when roaming my provider is SFR (france) and roaming provider is proximus (belgium).
Have you trying with another roaming provider ?

as many as i can try telia,vodafone se ,iq etc etc
no joy-beginning toi think it is to do with t-mobile

also without stating the obvious, as and when i can find a free wifi-everything works

are you having prob only with your data connection?? back in uk (?) were you using 3g or gprs and lastly in setting/phone/ is the band set to wcdma (3g) or gprs

in uk had set data to auto all have tried every over type- but still does not explain why it worked seamless before -it either is something within the wm6 rom(i doubt) or t-mobile(proable)
but as i m traveling as soon as i get back i would like to get to the bottom of it.

It may not be your Universal - it may be your provider
Did you inform T-Mobile that you were going overseas? They need to activate international roaming on your account...
I've seen this problem before (working in a phone shop and all...), a customer from country xxxxx can't make\receive calls - because international roaming is not active on their account

Roaming worked on WM5, now not on WM6
Hi
I had similar problems. While Roaming previously (From SA (MTN), roaming in Mauritius (on Cellplus and Emtel) under WM5, I had no problems with SMS (text) or data calls.
Recently upgraded to WM6 (Laurentius' V7 VideoCall) and when landing in Mauritius last week, I could not send SMS(text) or connect data. It picked up the network. I did not test normal voice calls, since I usually dont make any while roaming. I simply used my sim card in a different handset for the week, but it was very frustrating, since Ive come to rely heavily on data access while travelling overseas (for email, skype, etc)

Could also be Radio Ver
Hi all, Could you all edit your posts and enter your Radio SStack Ver ?
And if you can remember what Ver you were on when it used to work on WM5.
As stated in the post, the 1.18 Stack had updates for roaming, I haven't had a chance to test it myself, could anyone provide feedback on roaming with 1.18.
Cheers,
Beast

dark force(excellent) and radio 1.15 will try upgrade as leave country in a few weeks

I roam between China, Hong Kong and Taiwan a lot. It appears data works better with some local service providers only. So what I do is when travelling to a new place, know which local providers data network 'roams' better with my China Mobile, by manually selecting, and trying, one by one, on the phone control panel, network selection part. Once I found one that worked, then I manually fix to that one.
Now everytime I travel to a different region, I just do, phone control panel->network->manual-> choose the known good one.
I hope this works in your situation and network providers.

[Q] T-Mobile 3G Network Location not working in ATX

Hey guys, I'm an Android developer in Austin, TX and the last couple days I noticed Network Location stopped working on 3G. It does, however, work on 2G [Edge] and WiFi.
Luckily there's a T-Mobile corporate sales office in my building so I went upstairs to talk to them. They had me write an email which they forwarded to their RF Engineers.
Got an email back last night saying their Sr RF Engineer was having the same problems I explained in my email and that the issue had been unknown to them prior to me raising it.
Needless to say, they're looking into it. However, I'm curious if anyone else in another city is having the same issue, particular one of the 50+ cities that was just upgraded to 42 Mbps.
To test:
1. Turn off WiFi
2. Reboot phone
3. Open Google Maps
4. Click on 'My Location' button @ top right.
You should see a "waiting for location" test message followed by a "location temporarily unavailable" toast message a minute or so later.
And for the record, I have tested this on a G2x, 2 N1's, and a NS with same results on each phone (in Austin, TX of course)

[Q] Sim card does not allow connection to this network

I am posting this as a new thread as my reply on a similar thread got lost or ignored and I would really appreciate inputs :
Randomly at times when I try to register on network manually (MTNL Dolphin 3G - Mumbai). Unrooted MB865 ver 2.3.6 & updated on 18th May 2012 to System Ver 55.28.37.MB865.AsiaRetail.en03. If I keep the setting as Automatic in Type of Network & Operator it functions fine fluctuating between Dolphin for local access & CellOne on roaming access in the same area based on cell tower connection the phone registers on alternating between "E" & "H" automatically based on cell mast direction proximity, however if I select 3G only and uncheck automatic for operator then the phone searches for signal for a very long time and fails to show any operator saying "no connection available" & sometimes when "Dolphin" network does appear and try to select manually get the error as "this sim card does not allow connection to this network". I did complain with the service provider and they were supposed to get back to me after checking in their switchboard exchange where I also provided them my SIM number in addition to my cellphone number(no response). Also as is case with poor service of all Indian cell network providers even in urban cities, also face random peculiar issue of call not being received inspite of signal available on the phone & network asking me to recheck the number I have dialled while placing outgoing calls though it is ok and signal is sufficient. Also "Network Speed Booster" app looks like a lot of bull (any other good apps??)
I needed to know using the secret Menu *#*#4636#*#* for 3G GSM service which kind of network I should ideally select for best results & does this setting override the regular menu network settings??
I get "G", "E", "H" randomly based on my locations but no "3G" or "H+" and further at times these icons are grey and sometimes blue and in either cases randomly
at different locations sometimes data throughput is not there as only one of the arrow shows active blinking. Any advise on the status based on colors and the blinking of the arrows?? Thanks!
PS _ This is what another user had posted (do you guys feel this is a phone defect?)
I wasn't able to solve this problem about an year. But did. And totally sure that it is Device's defect (in some cases it is a ROM deffect as in my case, in other - hardware. Smth like stack overflow issues at GSM controller or so). A year ago when I had face this "sim card does not allow connection... " problem, there are no google serch results on this keywords request. Any. To remove this message I was ought to reboot my device every time it appears. And I was thinking that it is normal behaviour for my device. But now there are lot of complainings at the web ( minimum 5 of Galaxy Tabs P1000, thousands of HTC Disire, few motorolla Deffy, 10 Galaxy Ace, few of Nexus S and so on), so I understand that I'm not alone, and problem is known. So I went to Samsungs Service and they confirmed that it is famous problem, have flashed my phone with some magic ROM (magic because it is official but does not available anywhere in the web, XDA or samsung sites! ) and now my phone works fine. Any other solutions like battery removing, *#*#4636#*#* sirvice menu, new sim-card, flashing variety of modems and roms, didn't helps me. This is not faulty sim. This is serious device's defect. Bring your phone to manufacturer and let them repair it or give your money back. This is their problem not your.

Problems with Airtel Internet

So, I recently got my hands on a OnePlus One as my daily driver (super broke, I know right?), and I've installed the TugaPower Nougat ROM, and currently have an Airtel SIM.. The SIM automatically loaded up the APN settings but when I turned on mobile data, there was this cross symbol beside the signal bars..
Then I checked my dad's phone (Micromax Yu Yureka) which also has an Airtel sim, so, I opened up the APN settings in there, saw which settings that phone was using and copied it down on mine.. Now, here are a few problems I've been experiencing..
The signal most often drops to 2G, but when I go to settings, and go to preferred network type, and then select 2G and then LTE again, it works fine again..
Sometimes it shows LTE, but the speed is absolutely terrible.. It shows LTE up top, but the download speed is, like, 30-40 kbps.. Even right now when I'm downloading the update to XDA Labs, the speed is around 10 kbps!!!!
Please help as this problem is driving me crazy.. Screenshots are attached of the following things:
1) The little cross beside the signal bars..
2) The custom APN setting I had to make, titled 'Airtel Internet'.. The default selected one was 'Airtel Live'
3) Horrible download speed of the XDA Labs update while being on LTE

I experience it sometimes. But not as bad as you. Try on and off airplane mode when that happens. Try flashing different firmwares.

Question Frequently lost mobile internet connection

Bought in Belarus country (the timezone is UTC+3) - for a few months everything was OK.
Moved to Georgia county (the timezone is UTC+4), bought a local sim and started to have problem with mobile internet. I live in a city with good connection, at the top right I see 4G, but I often need to disable data traffic and enable again - to continue to use internet.
I was in the office of the operator, they tried to create an APN, and gave me another sim.
Also tried network preferences reset, multiple times.
Also disabled "Check time automatically" and "Set time zone automatically".
All updates, stock ROM, Android 12.
Official LineageOS rom will fix this problem?
Please help.

The service will do nothing to you. Changing the software won't help either. I tried, there was a problem with this on the site twice and they did nothing but update the software. But I found a "way" to select a mobile operator, I bought a second sim card, but it is important that it was from a different provider. I put it in and it's on my phone, I don't call from it, I don't use data from it. It's just plugged in and turned on in the settings. Previously, the problem was so strong that I had to turn on the airplane mode for about a minute, or turn off data transmission, as you write, or have forced 3G not LTE (4G) all the time. And now, literally for a moment, the Internet will disappear and reappear after a while, and it is no longer bothersome. It's such a partial solution to the problem. After the holidays, he will send it to be repaired again. They will probably send back that everything is OK. And if that does not help, he will write to the representative office in Poland, Xiaomi, maybe they will help. You can always make black piar on the web.
