Hey everyone,
I got an AT&T Fuze (Touch Pro) and Im using it on Fido in Canada. My data is working perfectly fine, my only issue is that my phone keeps switching from 3G to H every once in a while, I was just wondering why and whats the reason for that?
Also, I have a little exclamation mark (in a yellow triangle) in the top right hand corner right beside the 3G/H/E Icon. I don't know why thats there?
Thanks to all for the help!
No, that's neither yours nor your phone issues. Once you' re in the better speed coverage, the phone will jump to H or your phone is accessing the internet.
"little exclamation mark" is a "roaming" indicator.
Heres the thing, it jumps back and forth while even accessing/using data.
Is there anyway to get rid of the exclamation mark?
have you flashed the rom?
I would be interested in how to get rid of the roaming icon too.
I have tried all the registry changes to no avail. The icon, and roaming warnings for things like the weather app, remain. It's about the last thing I need to fix but I seem to be stuck.
Im using RRE's ROM. So far it seems to have fixed itself, but now Im having more issues. I wonder if I should flash to a different ROM.
Hi guys,
I have a somewhat related problem and I hope someone can help me out. I just recently bought an unlocked HTC Touch Pro (not the Fuze version) and I am using it with my Fido sim card. Everything works and I was able to setup EDGE on it, but what bothers me is it keeps saying that I am roaming (for example when I access the Weather app). I am wondering if this is just some sort of a glitch due to the phone being unlocked or am I really roaming? I also get that roaming icon at the top. I am located in Vancouver so I am not out of town or anything. I just want to make sure so I don't end up having a crazy invoice by the end of the month. Thanks very much in advance.

It's because Fido uses Roger's towers now, but the companies are still identified separately and therefore it thinks you're roaming. As long as you have a data plan, you should be ok.
PS. Depending where in Vancouver you are, you should be getting at least 3G (3G), or hopefully HSDPA (H), vs Edge (E).

xda_fanboy, thank you very much for the helpful information. I can finally stop worrying. I do have a data plan with Fido so that should do. However, this is the second day of using the Touch Pro and the only data network I get is Edge. The only setup I did to my phone is what is listed in http://www.iday.ca/2008/11/how-to-setup-rogers-or-fido.html, under the Fido section. Would you mind taking a look and see if that is all that I need to do? I really appreciate all your help. Thanks again.

Please see my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3192894&postcount=3 and see if it helps. I believe you also need to go into Settings>Connections>Advanced Network and enable HSDPA/HSUPA to get the full benefit.

I also have this phone and live in Vancouver on Fido. I don't think it will work on 3G, or so it seems. Mine is not the ATT version either, just the stock HTC. Currently it runs fine on the standard network, although as mentioned i have not been able to get rid of the roaming icon, but have never been charged extra. Its too bad we can't use it on 3G, and if any can find a way, that would be awesome, id love to be using the full potential of this phone.
I think we are stuck with no 3G, unless there are any suggestions?
If your not using the AT&T Fuze, then you won't have 3G in North America. Don't worry about the roaming icon. Since the phone (or is it the software?) has no idea that Fido uses Rogers' towers, it thinks your roaming. I have the roaming icon as well, had it on many non-branded Fido phones.
I turned off 3G because I hate seeing my icon go to 3G then H at random times besides when Im using actual data and it seems that with 3G, I get worse reception! Makes no sense I know, I've tried 3 different radio's and all have the same issue. Im thinking if an HTC Touch Diamond Rogers branded Radio will work, then that would probably work the best. Anybody know if/where I can get it?

If you bought a stock HTC Touch Pro (non-ATT, non-North American) then you won't have the NA 3G radio frequency and you're stuck with Edge.
Regarding a ROM, head over to the ROM sub-forum. There's a step-by-step guide on flashing your first ROM. As far as which ROM is best, it depends entirely on what you want from it, and even then varies by personal choice from person to person. There is no 1 "best" ROM. Check out all the ROM threads (there's a Roger's specific ROM available FYI) and pick one based on what you like.

I have a similar problem as Speng2, but I have the HTC Fuze which is the american ATT branded one. I unlocked it, flashed the NATF 4.7 rom and tried many diff radios and can never get more than EDGE. I used to have 3g when it was stock. I live in Los Angeles which is a 3g area. I get full edge signal but no 3g or HSPDA. I have a feeling it has to do with a setting. Pls help.

This thread was specifically for Fido, a Canadian carrier. I have no knowledge of the settings you will require for your carrier in LA, which is the most likely reason you are not getting 3G. I would try contacting them if you haven't already. Otherwise try and find a thread for your carrier, or perhaps check HF (not sure if we can post URL's to other sites). Good luck!
What if you dont have a data plan

What if you don't have a data plan? It seems that sypod has not been charged extra for Roaming... Does anyone know how Roaming works with FIDO? I just got the HTC FUZE and I don't want to have to pay outrageous Roaming charges. Any Ideas?
Hi, since I got my Galaxy s3, I'm always roaming. I didn't have to stray too far away from the store before the roaming started to happen. It seems that if I do not have 3g, or 4g I'm constantly roaming. I have read on here that there is a way to fix the always roaming issue, but I didn't know if it applied to flashing a bad rom and then getting the always on roaming message. Mine has been like this since day 1 when I bought the phone at completely stock settings. I recently flashed CleanROM, and still have the always on roaming messages.
Should I attempt to use this application, or would I risk doing something terrible to the phone?
what prl do you have? any just to make sure what carrier?
Different prl's can cause it to roam. You may can pull battery and sim and sdcard, wait 30 sec or so reinstall any boot. Then check prl again, see if it changes.

What is PRL? I do have Verizon. .. I also have a nationwide plan, so I know for certain I'm not being charged for roaming, it just shows that I am all the time.
"HOME-ONLY roam setting on touch wiz roms like on CM based roms
New to posting on here, so be patient... I have been flashing roms however since the Motorola droid 1 and love the mods we can do to our phones. Now I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, flashed to CleanRom, newest version as of this date. I love the battery life on this Rom but work near the Mexican border where it easily switches to roaming. My question is that on CM roms I'm able to go into roaming settings and select either Automatic (default) or Home Only which will prevent anything but a Verizon signal. Works awesome. I don't know why this is unique to CM or AOSP roms and not touch wiz. Is there a way we can have that added or even an app that will do that very thing? Sometimes I have to just backup my rom and flash CM just to use my phone without roaming on to the Mexican cell tower. It's very frustrating. Thanks for any advice.
If this needs to be in its own thread, could someone let me know and help me out with that?
Thanks, Scott.

Im not sure what the issue is. Maybe I need a new radio?
I had a completely stock AT&T Inspire 4G..
I actually paid one of the little local phone stores to unlock it so I could use my T-mobile sim in it because I needed it right away as my old phone broke and I couldnt find a decent t-mobile phone on craigslist so I took this one.
After they unlocked it it worked fine and had HSPA+.
Then when I had a little more time I did the dev unlock and rooted it and installed Blackout ICS.
Everything seemed fine until I actually left my house yesterday. In my house I get very little if any signal so I didnt know there was an issue here.
When I went into the city yesterday I only had edge in the same places that before I had HSPA+. I did notice that in networks it was set to gsm only. I tried GSM/WCDMA auto and didnt get any signal at all so Im not sure if that matters.
If anyone knows what is going on or what I should try please let me know. Possibly flashing a different rom or just going back to stock? Im clueless. Please let me know. Thanks.
Bumping to see if I can get any kind of help.
Hey all,
I recently picked up a LG G2 (second hand)
and I believe I have some issues with the phone not picking up LTE so easily.
Before this, I had Iphone 5, nexus 4, G Pro, Gnote2, etc... and they all picked up LTE just fine at my home
However, G2 rarely picks up LTE signal and it is mostly on HSPA+ (4G Icon) I believe.
I took it into AT&T store to see if I could get a new sim card but when I got there, the phone picked up LTE no problem.........
Looks like many Sprint users are experiencing same issue.. is there a fix for this??
*The phone is currently on stock / non-rooted 4.4.2
Thank you in advance!
I'm in the same boat as you, my data will work for a good 30+ min and then all of sudden no network for 30 seconds or so. I've also been unable to connect to a lte signal I've only been able to use hspa, searching the threads on here have been hit and miss with a lot of vague answers but nothing clear cut if anyone's dealt with this and has a clear fix it would be appreciated.

A little update to this, yesterday I went to AT&T to see if I could maybe clear this up with a new SIM card and while waiting I checked out the two G2s they had there, these two display phones were literally 10 ft apart and one had lte while the other one was stuck on 4g only. I think this is looking more like a hardware issue now after checking out both store phones on display, I'm going in today to swap out my handset to see if this will solve it.

Here's another update for those with lte or signal loss issues, after trying everything I could find on these forums the only answer was a warranty swap out, as soon as I put my SIM card into the warranty phone let showed up and after half a day I haven't experienced no random signal loss at all.

Interesting...
This is interesting. Currently running CM11 latest nightly and I thought it was due to CM codebase. It looks like non-CM related?
Please keep the details coming. When I have time, I will flash a stock ROM to see what happens. But at this point, it looks scary that maybe hardware problems might be there.
For comparison, 2 iPhones literally next to G2 had 3 bars with LTE while my G2 had no network.

After a full day and a half use now im fulling supporting the theory of a hardware fault. Before returning my phone for a replacement i was fully rooted on gardys kit kat rom with recovery, i had read that supposedly rooting or flashing was apparently breaking lte so i went back to the stock jellybean rom only to discover the issue still there, i then fully updated to the over the air kit kat update which also did not solve the issue. It really does look like theres a issue with the phone itself.

Oh wow. Thanks for your reply.
So i have tried working on this and so far no good.
LTE picks up good when i walk into an att store and that is causing difficulty with store workers..
I get stable, steady connection with hspa+ but rarely pick up LTE..
What is the process of getting a replacement? Its way over 15,30 day period for me..
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
For me lte did not work at all even in store, I can see where you might have a issue if they can't reproduce the issue but just be persistent and they should take care of it for you. As for warranty you have a year from your purchase date for a warranty claim through At&t, I went through a device support center which you might have depending on where you live otherwise you can send it in. You must revert back to a complete stock state or you will be more than likely denied.

Got it fixed after several attempts with new sim cards! Picks up Lte fine! Wootwoot
My fix
call att tech support make sure that the lg g2 imei matches your line/sim card
So I went through a bunch of phones in the past couple weeks, I have at&t service but my last phone was verizon droid maxx. Next I went to the AT&T store and he put my phone number under the new sim card for my AT&T LG G2 but the rep didn't ask me for the IMEI or look at the phone at all, he just got my line on the new sim and I left. I noticed the phone was going back and fourth to LTE but it was 4g (non LTE) about 70% of the time. I changed APN settings, I updated, nothing worked. Then I remembered a long time ago that if you go from android, blackberry, or iphone to another type of phone you would have to call att and make sure something was changed so I called att tech support and asked if they would put my IMEI under the new sim, the tech said yeah I should do that because currently my line doesn't show I have the g2 (make sure to call tech support because online it'll show you have a g2 and if you call costumer service usually they will see the g2 too) and after that i reset my phone and got LTE 100% of the time since then.
I wonder if anyone have use verizon htc one m8. On Tmobile. My phone keep disconnect very ez and signal wont automatic come back. Sometimes i see theres 1 bar of signal, but i cant make a call or send sms. I have to manually turn on and off Airplane mode to send sms or call.
I have try 3, 4 customs ROMS so far: GPE, VIPER( i choose Tmobile in setup carrier), STOCK ROM( cant send sms of mms or call while full signal) i wonder if anyone have same experience.
Wait, you're using a Verizon unit on TMobile? I'm surprised you can send an sms or make a call at all, given that vzw is CDMA and tmobile is GSM... I don't know how you'd even get that to work

HTC one m8 from verizon is unlocked version, it support most of carrier, that is wat i know.
I wonder if any dev can look into this problem .
Actually, I've been having the same problem on VZW.
I was just about to post about this, I've been having big issues on vzw. I've lost voice connectivity completely, only 4g works and even then it comes and goes. I've tried flashing firmware and radios, new roms, but nothing. I'm about to try a full ruu and see if that does anything, I suspect it's a Sim issue though.
Verizon M8 on Tmobile call end issue
I am having similar issues where every once in a while the call ends right after dialing. The phone is Verizon M8 rooted with Insertcoin ROM being used on tmobile. LTE and SMS works. I'm wondering if flashing just the new firmware 1.55.605.2 would help. I remember having similar issue on Tmobile S3, it was fixed after they release a new firmware.
I just want to make this topic jump to page 1.please help us if anyone know how to fix this.

I tried flashing ATT & Tmobile radio.img files, but the signal was totally gone. The phone is still flaky when LTE is on, currently switched it to CDMA/GSM to see if the call end issue resolves.

I tried many signal mode with thunderbolt lte ( search on google play) but no help. Im out of option now. I think the only way is that htc release a bug fix or new firmware.
same problem guy...no more 2/3G.
Where we can find full ruu ? I think only that can help

I hope they come up with a fix soon, I am thinking about getting a tmobile brand M8, the data speed gets really slow every now and then.
Y'all should jump on the ViperOne ROM 2.2.0. It is doing good for me. Still has some signal issue, but it is like 95% better now.
I have ARHD 8.1 and it's doing really good. I have to toggle airplane mode on and off. But then I stumbled on this, but haven't made any sense on it

Try a different radio. The .0222 radios were giving me problems and I switched back to the .0321 radios. Your mileage may vary
