[Q] Annoying popup: "Data roaming will incur extra charges. Disable data roaming?"
Doesn't matter if I have "Data Roaming" checked or unchecked in Settings->Wireless Networks->Mobile Networks, Android sill popups the message:
Attention
Data roaming will incur extra charges. Disable data roaming?
This is really annoying. It ignores that you have already disabled data roaming so there is no need to ask this. I bought a data plan for internet connection abroad and I am sure that I want to have data roaming turned on, but still have to cancel this popup 20 times a day!
Is there any way how to disable this popup? My phone is rooted and I am able to do advanced stuff via command line, but have no idea where to look :/

Gday guys, ive noticed if my phone goes into standby, the wifi will switch off and the data connection (gprs) will bein usage, costing me money!
Anyway to keep wifi on while the phone goes into wifi? Anyway to disable all gprps access easily and then switch it on when i need?
it depends on your settings I think. If you setup the phone to use a data plan, then it will use it on regular and standby when your software sends updates
if you set it for Wifi, Likewise
Honestly, the 30$ a month I pay for unlimited data is worth it, you should consider it.
Not all of use are privileged with unlimited data plans
To OP, I think you can change the settings using Advanced Config
use advanced config to allow wifi to stay on during standby. its under menu - more settings. also if you dont have a data plan, remove the provider settings from your phone
I have blocked out my data connection at alltel because i dont have a data connection plan and dont want to go over my minutes and all that. So my question is, is there any way to get picture/video messages without the data connection (it dials #777 when trying to connect and fails)? I dont really want to pay for the data connection for picture messages but dont want to drive a Ferrari in first gear.
I'm not sure, but i think it's not possible. Sorry to be so little help.
You can easily stop your phone from connecting to cell data services, under connections tell it to connect to "my isp" or "my work network". You can unblock the data services and just use wifi, I don't think they'll charge you for the data mms uses. At least that's the wafy i do it on att, and i don't get charged for data usage.

You recieve MMS through wifi? i don't think thats possible, MMS has to go through the network.
Do u have a messaging plan? because with at&t pic and video messages are included in your messaging plan so you don't need to have a data plan and.
BUT it does state in the fine print that any pic/vid message over 300k will be billed per kb but i've sent and recieved MMS way over 300k and never incurred any additional charges on my bill (which may be due to the fact that i have an unlimitted data plan but not sure).
I have ROM listed in sig.
I do not have a data plan, and am currently on a prepaid plan with AT&T and trying to avoid extra costs. I am using DisableData to disable both "AT&T ISP GPRS" and "Media Net".
When I disable media net, I am unable to send or receive MMS messages. So usually I have been enabling media net if I get an MMS message and disabling it again when message is done.
If I forget to turn it off, then I catch my phone connecting to edge or 3g (depending on whats available) and charging me data.
Just is a major PITA. Is there anywhere I can get MMS to pass through but disable all other data connections?
Thanks,
Shaun
Is the MediaNet connection actually incurring a charge? The other appears to be for GPRS. Sorry I have no knowledge of AT&T. My T-Mobile MMS connection is seperate fron the GPRS connection so disabling data allows MMS to function fine. It's strange that both your connections are used for GPRS.
Hello,
Have you tried disabling all data connection except MMS in TouchPro Tweak? In your ROM that should be in Tools | Tweaks | TouchPro Tweak. Find entry "Data (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA).
Hope it works for you.
So I just got off the phone with AT&T and found out that you must have media net enabled to have MMS come through, and there is no way to block all data excpet MMS. So I guess I will just have to keep doing what I have been doing.
here's the issue: when I'm not connected to home network, wifi won't transmit/receive data. I have /!\ sign in the taskbar with explanation "data disconnected because your phone is in roaming network". No matter what I do, data will not work over wifi. The same wifi AP works perfectly when in home network... anyone have this problem? any clue how to solve it?
Try enabling data roaming. Setting>Wireless Networks>Mobile Network Settings
Check "Data Roaming" Connect to data services when roaming
Having a similar issue. I'm about 300 miles from home (Chicago) in Door County WI. Weak Edge signal here. Data works over WiFi, but not over Edge. I continually get a notification saying "You have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming disabled". I now have it enabled, but the message sounds like I am SOL because I should have made the change before leaving.
To clarify, I enabled roaming 1-1/2 days ago, restarted several times and confirmed the roaming box is still enabled. But I continue to get the lost data notification.
Are you kidding me ATT? Is there no way to fix this without returning home?
update:
Sorry, I was wrong, I can access internet with roaming data, even with the "national data roaming" option OFF.
I just can't access any service of google
F the GFW!
It followed me to USA -_-b
--------------------------------------------------------
I am a Chinese and traveling in Fremont, CA, USA
I have national roaming service from my carrier, China Mobile
I can send and receive text message, voice talk does not work some times, and works in other time
and I can't access internet with mobile signal
when I try to set "National Data Roaming" option on, it looks "on", I can see some small data transfer on my status bar at this point
and each time I leave the setting page of that option, and enter the page once again, the option is OFF,
tried many times, just can't turn it on
I can see that I am connected to AT&T
I also tried switching to T-mobile, but still can't turn that option on, and still no internet
is this a bug of ROM, or there's other possibility(Carriers....)?
