I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 on Verizon's Network .I"m on a Verizon network extender at home and everytime I've installed any AOSP ROMs (Cyonogen Mod,Paranoid Android,Carbon ,Pacman etc,) my phone goes into roaming ,so I don't have a data connection or a phone connection, in my home with any of these ROM's. Outside of the network extender, the ROM's work. Currently I"m running Touchwiz Rom Jellybeans version 19. Stock or any Touchwiz ROM's work when I"m on the network extender. I've searched for a solution and have found none. I have owned my Galaxy S3 for over a year and haven't been able to run any of these ROM's because of the network extender issues. It's been very frustrating ,can someone please help with the situation?

I have to use a network extender at home as well. It's an older version so it doesn't handle data. I've used it on both TW and AOSP Roms without a problem, so what you have should work.
On AOSP roms, do you get the two tone note when you try to call? You should only need to dial #48 to register with it and then call out.

There are two different network extender models. On the older one, there is no data connection. The newer one offers 3G as well as voice I believe. So if you're on the older model you won't have network data and will have to rely on wifi. When you dial out, if you hear 2 tones before it begins to ring, then you're operating off the extender.
As long as you're on a stable version of a ROM, it shouldn't have any significant impact. I've used several TW and AOSP roms without noticing any real difference.

Hi, thank you for responding ,I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I've checked with Verizon and I"m on the newer network extender .On stock or Touchwiz ROM"s I do get a phone connection and 3G. I also get the the two tones when I dial a number before it connects. From what was explained to me that means I"m under the network extender. When I dial # 48 on an AOSP or TW ROM, it tells me that I'm under the network extender's connection.
95% of the ROM's I've used have been stable. The others have been Cyonogen Mod nightly's . On my Droid Razor Maxx,when running and AOSP ROM, I never had these issues.

In CM under
Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Mobile networks
Do you have the data roaming options selected?
No, I've gone into mobile networks and changed it manually, rebooted and the "R" for roaming as shown in the photos is still there. I've manually forced it into 3g only and it remains the same. No data connection

Update: Currently I am running an AOSP Rom (CM 10.2 09-19-2013) and it's working. To get it to work, I installed the last ICS OTA modem (the VRLHE) and I am now getting data at home under the network extender. No more "R" for roaming! The modem is not as strong as the Jelly Bean VRBMF1 modem, but it's working. I still can't get any AOSP roms to work on JB modems and I don't know why. I was thinking of contacting the CM team for a possible solution. I am still glad it's working even though it's on an old radio.
I had the same issue two days ago when I flashed to the latest MIUI Rom. Here's how I fixed it.
Go into settings, mobile networks, make sure subscription is set to SIM. After that open the phone, type *#*#4636#*#* make sure it's set to LTE/CDMA/AUTO
Reboot phone and all should be well.

I just thought I would shed some light on an issue I've had since leaked jb Verizon modems came around. I am the owner of a vzw network extender. Whenever I am running any asop ROM, when I connect to the extender, my gs3 says I'm roaming. From cm10/10.1 to aokp to eclipse jb, This happens on every asop ROM I've tried. The only fix is to run an ICS modem. Also I have no issues using the k3 baseband with any tw based roms. I believe this has to do with the way the jb modems report being connected to the extender on a tw based rom. With the jb modem, the tw based roms tell you that you are connected to the extender. It says network extender in place of Verizon wireless on the pulldown and also the signal bars have a little home above it. This was new to jb. On an asop ROM I get roaming and an r in place of the home on the signal bars. Is it possible that asop ROMs have not caught up yet, being that not too many people have a signal extender? And feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I haven't been hearing about this issue as not many people have network extenders. I don't think any of the AOSP ROM developers have been working on a fix for it. Thank you for bringing it up in the mean time to take full advantage of your network extender you will have to use the Touchwiz roms.
Thanks for the reply. Is there any better way to get the word out to aosp ROM developers about this issue?
Other than the development thread and PM that is it.
Bringing this back, any fix for this problem yet? =/
Same problem
I am having the same problem running a Galaxy S4 with CM 10.1. I own a Network Extender at my business, and my phone shows the "R" over the bars and out of network in the detail area. In fact, I can not send Text Messages When the extender is on, even though I am connected through our company WIFI as well. What is the best way to change your modem, Odin? If so, where do you download the old modem software? Thanks!
TW Roms
I have only been using TW based roms because of this issue. I thank you all for posting this information here about the network extender issue. The good news is that all TWQ roms I have tried so far are working for my Network Extender except for Jedi so far on the Verizon network.
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.

I thought all the data issues on AOSP/CM were fixed. While I was on vacation, my phone (running SlimRom) showed 'mobile network disconnected' and had no data, while other people running Verizon (other Galaxy phones, iPhone) had no problems at all. Tried to switch airplane on/off, reboot etc, nothing worked.
So I'm starting to think a TW based rom might give better data?

TW based roms will always provide better reception then AOSP. This is due to the fact that the radio software for the S3 is closed source, so in order to get it to work we had to backwards engineer the radio software so that it will pick up signal from the network.
Coping/Pasting from a US Cellular page due to XDA being quite a bit more active. Any help is greatly appreciated.
So I had an old Verizon Galaxy S3 that was laying around, while I was using an old USCC Galaxy S2. Of course I wanted to update, so I picked up a Lollipop rom to tun on the S3 and it works beautifully. Smoothest OS I've had on my phone. This includes custom and/or stock roms. Well, I've been using this rom (CM-12.1) for almost two weeks now, with no issues aside from the normal Camera not connecting, lack of MMS, and no 4G. Camera issues is common with CM12, MMS is just APN settings (I'm hoping), and 4G is due to the different type of 4G radio in the Verizon phone compared to the USCC variant of the S3. I can live without the 4G though, but it would be nice. MMS is kind of annoying, having to tell my friends/family to "send it to me on Facebook". So that's been my experience up until last night...No comes the issue. I flashed a d2usc rom to my d2vzw device last night, and everything went smoothly (aside from the normal issues I mentioned above). It connected to 3G without me having to adjust/change any of the APN settings. Sadly, this rom was QUITE unstable. Programs freezing up and crashing left and right. So I ended up going back to my original d2vzw rom. Now...I can't seem to get it connected to 3G. I can text and make calls just fine, but no data. Every time I attempt to edit the APN settings, nothing happens/connects, or the APN setting i'm working on gets deleted. I've noticed that on the APN setting websites I've found, that there is one setting that is different than mine. Where it tells me to change the MMC, I have MCC. Everytime I change the MNC setting, the APN gets deleted. Let me know what information you need in order to help me get this issue resolved. Thanks for any help in advance!
Hello. My issue is that my phone won't connect to LTE in stock ROM, but it connects with CM 12.1. But my main "concern" is that it used to connect to LTE using stock ROM... To make the long story short: when I bought the phone, it only connected to H, even if I selected LTE in Preferred Network Type (selecting LTE there even made, and still makes my data connection unstable, getting disconnected and rapidly connecting to data network, but only uses H network type) so I selected 3G, because it was made my connection stable.
Then, after some time, I decided to try and select LTE again, and it connected to LTE! Good, fast, stable connection. But after some weeks, I had to wipe my data partition, and again... it would't grab LTE. Some days ago, I flashed CM ROM, and I was surprised that it grabbed LTE with it again. And today, I decided to flash stock ROM again because CM gave me some problems with moto apps (I had to wipe data because it entered in a bootloop), and again, no LTE in stock ROM.
My question is, what can be causing this behavior? I didn't do anything to purposely fix data connection and use LTE, and my phone is capable of connecting to my carrier LTE band (i tested the speed when I was on LTE and yes, it was a lot faster than H), so it should be some ROM/software related issue. I tried to reset APN setting, connecting to the 2 APN that my phone has, and still won't get LTE.
Any ideas of what could be causing this behavior? Thanks!

dial *#*#4636#*#* and service menu will appear. in phone info menu select network type 'LTE only' and check your signal strength. if it's low like 1 bar in status bar that's why it keeps switching back to HSPA.
I won't connect if I select LTE only, it just shows "no service". But I have good signal here in my house, as I used to have LTE when this was working fine.

maybe carrier signal problems? you should check LTE signal strength on other's phone and compare with yours when it's available at your house.
and you mentioned it was working with cm12.1, try with it again or maybe ur harware was defected

Ok, I'll try again with CM again, but it used to work some time with stock too. I think it shouldn't be a carrier or signal related problem, but I'll try using my sim card in other phone, and try again with CM, I'll report back here after I test.
It seems to be caused because of the APN. I inserted another sim card to my phone and it added a new APN, and it changed the Network Type in phone info to "LTE/GSM Auto (PRL)" and now it works! Thanks for the idea!
But I still find it strange that it connected in CM from the start, hahaha
