Hi guys,
Just got my device activated 32 gb black model, and for some reason when ever i make calls, it says i'm roaming? just wanted to see if this was a issues for others.
I'm actually having a hell of a time trying to get the phone to roam. Cell signal where I work is horrid and I've always used Roam Control to force roam on Verizon here. With the Nexus 5 I have yet to see it roam even though I'm forcing it.
Edit: Did a little digging and it seems Roam Control does not support LG =(

Hey guys,
I'm new here, but not new to modding phones and all that. But, I have a problem that maybe someone can help me with.
I got this unlocked captivate off of craigslist a day or two ago, and I have been getting terrible reception on it. Now, I have t-mobile, but where I live there are hardly any t-mobile towerrs, and I ususally get about 1 bar at my house.
Anyway! I look at my phone settings, and I see it is only connecting to T-Mobile towers, which I don't want. Every single one of my other phones I have ever had has been connecting to ATT towers, since I have that roaming option.
I went to settings, and searched, and ATT and T-mobile show up, but when I choose ATT, it says my sim cannot register on that network.
I tried calling T-Mobile but they said that I should have fine t-mobile service in my area, and there was really nothing I can do since I have an att phone on their network.
well today I went over to my friends house up on the mountain, where I can only use ATT towers. Ususally on my other phones I get about half bars from that tower. Today I couldn't even connect to it, so I was left with a useless signaless phone all new years.
Basically, I am wondering if there is something wrong with the unlock, or if there is something I can do to stop it from saying "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network" when I chose ATT.
Thanks for listening to my long ass post,
Brandon

Bump again!
Heya guys is there any way to force my sensation to roam on the tmobile towers while being an att customer. I dropped my tmo service for an att plan. I would like to get my 4 g speeds. I feel there has to be a way to force roaming on this phone as I have done it on other phones. I have called att and they say there are no charges for roaming on tmo so Im not worried there.
I just need to figure out a way to force this phone to use a tmo apn or to roam on the tmo network.
any help suggestions etc are appreciated.
thanks.
on another note is there any way to increase the volume of the speaker phone and ringer volume past the software max. I have tried all market apps with no success. I miss so many calls because I cant hear the damn thing ring nor can I hear easily while on speaker phone.
again thanks
OK, I don't care about the data and stuff my phone is mostly connected to Wi-Fi. I just need to be able to make calls and I don't even get a bar on EDGE. So is there a way to force my Infuse to roam on T-Mobiles network, they have a tower right down the road. Phone is rooted and has Infused v2.1.0 rom but when I go to the network selection it "sees" T-Mobile but when I try to connect it says: Your SIM unable to connect to this network. Thanks in advance for the help!
Are you using a T-Mobile sim?

No, I just figure since there is no signal and I do get roaming with my plan wouldn't it just be able to connect if there is a lack in coverage? If not there has to be a way to... Right?
If the phone can pick up any bit of AT&T signal, you can't roam, and your area also has to have a roaming agreement with T-Mobile to roam.
If your phone is unlocked why not get a T-Mobile sim? Prepaid is cheap if you need the service. Roaming can be expensive if you don't have a roaming option.

Rats! well looks like the only options are to get a T-Mo SIM or call and complain or hopefully wait maybe in a couple of years after the buy-out they will light up that tower so I can use it...
Thanks for replying.
Yeah there's a lot of places where AT&T and T-Mo have no roaming whatsoever.
For example, at least back in 2008, putting a T-Mo SIM into a phone anywhere within 15 miles of my apartment would cause that phone's IMEI to get blacklisted by the towers for 15-20 minutes, even after putting the AT&T SIM back in. (I had a friend that was on T-Mo - put her phone into my Tilt and it didn't work. Put my SIM back into the Tilt and it STILL didn't work and stayed that way for 15-20 minutes.)
Whats weird is I got a message from them saying that they had lit up a new tower 5 miles east of Oregon City... a lot of help that does in the area I live in. COME ON! I've used that Mark the spot app and called (even from other accts cuz I know they have to get enough complaints) and the service still sucks! But before u tell me to change providers the only other with decent service is T-Mo plus I'm on a contract with 5 different phones with all staggered contract end dates.
VENTING: One other thing that kinda irks me is how they know when u take the sim and put it in a data phone then the automagically charge u the most expensive data plan when u only use 10-20 MB's then when u call them to change it to the cheaper plan they give you the run around...
You can get an at&t micro cell to boost you're signal. It works off your internet/cable router. Works pretty good, but if it switches from micro cell back to data or vice versa can cause dropped calls. Just an option.
this is why i want this attmobile to go through! able to access att + tmobile towers!
I would like to be able to force my wife's Skyrocket to Roam on T-Mobile.
Coming from Sprint my wife now gets really crappy reception at her work and is none to happy with me switching us to AT&T. I thought maybe something was wrong with her phone as it always showed 1 bar + 4G but her phone would never load a web page in her office. I tested my Galaxy Note and got the same results.
Her coworkers get 4+ bars on T-Mobile so I would love to give her the option to Roam at least when she is at work.
On Sprint we could load PRLs to do this but searching I was not able to find anything for force roaming on the Skyrocket.
Thanks
First, you would need to find out if at&t has a roaming agreement with tmo in your area-- and if at&t has coverage at all then probably not.
Hi, I just got my Nexus 5 yesterday and it was fine and all except for today. I go on wifi and sometimes I don't even recieve calls like I am suppose to.
As for LTE, it switches from LTE to H to 3G quite a lot; one time it even switched to edge for no reason.
Also, it dropped a call not to long ago.
I live in dayton Ohio and I wanna know what is up. Is the tower having problems? Is something wrong with the Nexus 5? What's up?
No, I personally haven't got any dropped calls, but I have heard of other people getting them. My only issue sometimes is people telling me they have been texting me and me never receiving the message.
I was to. What fixed it for me was switch to M8974A-1.0.25.0.15 modem. Deleting all but the fast.Tmobile APN. And changing the APN type to (default,supl,mms,admin,dun). Can't guarantee that this will fix it for you.
