Has anyone had a problem with a Verizon network extender putting the phone in roaming? I flashed a MIUI rom and it works awesome until i get home. My network extender puts my phone in roaming on Sprint network. I've unplugged the network extender and phone immediately goes back to Verizon. Any help would be appreciated.
This happens to me also. Instead of Verizon it will say out of neighborhood. This also happens on CM10 but i get a "R". Solution for me was to flash an older radio. It seemed to do this when i flashed the leaked newer radios.

I thought about that. Mine says out of neighborhood in the status bar but in about phone under status it says I'm on Sprint network. I've been on the VBLK modem and RPM. I'll flash back and try that. Thanks.

What radio did you flash back to. This "R", and lack of signal even when sitting top of my extender, and the general lack of support for Verizon Extenders leaves me frustrated, so I would love to get things back on track. What are you seeing when on the older radio?
Or....no???

What is this supposed to mean? Also, I read a few posts on Rootzwiki somewhere in this thread:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-mo...shable/page__st__370__p__1043499#entry1043499
and
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-mo...recovery-flashable/page__st__390#entry1049281
...and it seems that flashing the ICS modems removes the "r" when you're on the home extender. So, VRALF2-->VRALHE may not have the "r" logo. Idk what the difference is but only on the JB modems have I seen any of these posts being reported.
Edit: And after looking at my link, its a change that Verizon implemented on the JB builds.

All right I've went through all the posts regarding this and none of the options seem to work. I have terrible 3G/4G signal where I live. How can I set the network!!??!! Tried the apps tried the *#*# stuff (all I get with that is "RAT selection restricted!" WTF is RAT?) I can't even make a phone call or send a simple text with the one bar of 3G/4G I get. I know most are probably against the merger but I will hopefully benefit from it cuz there is a T-Mo tower down the street from me. Anyhow please help. I'm rooted, stock AT&T, 2.2.1

It's only possible with Rogers-based ROMs (e.g. Infused v2.x)
It's not possible with the stock AT&T ROM or any derivatives, and causes all sorts of problems with CM7.
Hopefully AT&T's Gingerbread update will fix this.

Would I be able to flash the rogers rom on mine? My guess is no... but its worth asking.

Infused v2 is Rogers-based.
Entropy, I was able to force 2G with Infused 1.5.3 when I had it paired with the Rogers modem. I used the star code *#2263# and that allowed me to select a GSM only band.
Also, on current infused.v2 builds, I cannot force 2G as they're not using Rogers modem and I don't feel like flashing another modem and bricking it on these test builds.

Oh, thanks for the info - it's the modem and not the userland! Very useful to know.
I have ICS-SUPERLITE-4.2 on Rogers and i totally lost LTE. I wrote in many existing threads and dev section and no one answered.
I lost LTE, even in areas of full reception, i dont have it, i used stock APN and LTE APN and still dont get it. I do get 4G.
Other on rogers running 4.2 have lte, just less reception so im guessing radio is not the problem. Any idea?
mhx did say he broke lte in 4.1 so maybe you got something from that. im flashing now and ill see how it goies
well im on 4.2 so its supposed to be fixed
I was having lte issues on 4.2 aswell

LTE works fine. Just make sure it says ltemobile.apn instead of rogers-core. If it still doesnt work then go int the phones menu *#2263# and select option 4. After that go back into the menu again and select 1 for automatic.

I've had to use the *#2263# option to get LTE on every ICS ROM I have tried so far, works great but sometimes I have had to redo it after the 2nd and 3rd reboot for it to take...
Another solution is after you flash an ICS ROM is to have patience , if you wait 5 minutes or so after flashing, before even touching\unlocking the screen, then most of the time everything settles in nicely on its own.
if ur using rogers with the ics leaks, there's several issues. Call id and lack of lte being one of them. This issue is present with all of them, it is an unstable leal after all. i believe lack of lte unless near a strong connection is due to uclca4 issues.
well after doing what i wrote 2 posts above, i have no issues with phone except for reboot/power off hang, i also get the occasional 2-3 second lag but its quite rare. Besides, im very haapy with rom, battery life is much better than GB
no lte after ics leak
I've the same issue with AT&T in Miami which has a strong LTE network. LTE worked great with GB. After installing the ICS leak all I get is HSPA:11. When I go into *#2263# it says RAT Selection option is restricted. Anyone have a solution?

Probably don't have the correct apn. apn needs to be set to pta in order to get lte.

Ditto - well actually I AM seeing LTE, but a drastically reduced data rates. Does not seem to matter what ROM, or Kernel or how many times I have re-flashed or re-flashed just the ICS Radio, I get roughly HALF of what I was seeing on GB. Ugh. I don't WANNA go back to Gingerbread. I just want perfection. Is that too much to ask for?

It's not the APN, at least in my case. It just crappy reception, and it happened exactly when I flashed ICS, and has been like that ever since. This in spite of re-flashing the Olin leak, reflashing the the radio, etc. It really irks me, and I do NOT want to go back to GB

reflash the radio then you should be ok.
apn is set to PTA so not sure what to try next.

RAT Selection option is restricted
Just flashed SeanZ ICS 4.2A-7 ROM and i727UCAL4 modem. I'm still getting "RAT Selection option is restricted". There is nothing else on that screen. This has been 3 different radios now and I cannot get a screen that allows me to select the radio band.
Would flashing a different kernel work? Any other ideas?
I am running the leaked ATT I727UCLE2 radio and I always find my phone switching from 3g to H+. I usually get data drops that require reboots at least once per day. Am I alone here or is this what to expect from the leaked radios? Are there better radios out that I can try?

Depends on weather or not your on ics or GB
I have run ucle2 on practically every rom in our threads . Ics and GB both no problems.
Might be my location though. I am in a non-lte area.

Are you on an ICS rom? If so check your APN values, I had the same problem on AOKP and noticed the values were completely off.
Im running ucle2 and i get the same H+ to 3G problem. I'm on rogers though. I'm gonna try flashing the stock rogers modem and see where it goes.

I am the same. I find the reception on this phone so awful. It's always losing connection and can't keep H+.
There is no such thing as a "best" radio. One radio will work better for one person than someone else. Give what ever radio a try and see if you like it, and if it doesn't work give another radio a try. Just make sure that what ever radio you flash is for the proper android release and you should be good.

I've tried flashing new radios (which doesn't actually do anything. Still says I'm using the same radio) and I've tried looking through build.prop.
I don't know what to do, but I'm going slightly insane trying to figure out how to use LTE.
It's not in *#*#4636#*#* or the Settings. It's all just HSPA and 3G.
Does anybody know how to fix this? I've seen plenty of people mention that their LTE works fine with MIUI, yet haven't come across a reason as to why.
Please help me out!

It usually doesn't work for me on the first time boot. After a reboot it does for some reason.
Still nothing...
Did you check the apn?
Yeah. I'm using the Rogers LTE APN. ltemobile.apn
I've double... triple checked that everything was correct. I noticed some other people are having the same issues with not being able to use LTE on Miui. Just HSPA and lower. But for those who have LTE on this rom, I'd love to know your magic tricks!

I am also on a 4.4 ROM and was running ML1. I finally downgraded to MB1 as I was having signal strength issues and SMS issues. I am in the Cleveland area and 4G is generally very good here. So if ML1 doesn't help you then you might try to go the other way and try MB1. From what I read, issues on AOSP with the newer modems are not uncommon.

I've read about that also. I can't recall what modem my phone was initially on when I got it but I've never used anything higher modem wise than ML1

You'll lose LTE connection if you dial *228 or *22899. Just pull the sim if you want to try updating your PRL.
I did that and still sucky signal.must be where I live now something is interfering with the signal

Wrap your fone with aluminum foil get better signal. Lol jp
Try a TW rom or stock 4.2. I remember that thread regarding bad signal and sms issues mainly people on mid west/east section of usa
You should have skimmed through the Q&A threads a little more, you would have found several topic related to 4.4 and weak/poor signal. I have it too but I sort of fixed it bouncing around to different aio's and radios.
