Hello!
I am with gsm carrier who uses national roaming for his services. There are 4 carriers for calls but the internet services are availiable onle when the phone is connected to one of them. This internet services carrier has good signal in cities but almost no signal in the countryside. However, the other carriers have stronger signal usually. So the effect is that the phone connects usually to no-internet carriers, even in the cities. I have to change carrier manually to internet carrier but this is not a solution as I have to manually reconnect to calls carriers when outside of the city.
So my question is if there is a way (tool) to prioritize carriers or in other words to set rules for the phone on how to choose services carrier?

Would also like to know this, I would like to change the default carrier from ATT to my local carrier so I don't need to have data roaming enabled to use data.

Hello. Since approx. beginning of April I experience serious problems using cm11. What I mean:
- in poland we have a gsm carrier called p4. They have a small own network which covers main cities. This network is used by p4 to provide gsm and internet services.
- p4, to provide gsm services outside the cities, let it users to use national roaming, using ALL networks availiable (3 diffferent carriers)
- when in national roaming, internet services are not provided at all ( only gsm)
Now the problem: I live in a city. I need internet services all the time. So till April I've used manual network search, i.e. I used to choose P4 and it worked perfectly. For several moments during day (i.e. in tube) i had no signal of P4 but it was not a problem. After a moment the phone did connect to P4 again.
BUT NOW something has changed. I choose P4 manually but when I loose signal the phone connects again not to P4 but to the network with strongest signal (usually t-mobile). And it does not return to P4. So I have NO INTERNET AT ALL TILL I'LL MANUALLY RECONNECT to P4.
What happened? Is it a bug or is it intentional change in cm11? Is there a way to manage networks the old way? I'll be grateful for help cause this situation is extremly annoying.
Hello,
My network uses national roaming when there's no coverage. National roaming is free under my contract conditions for voice calls, but it has a limit on data transfers.
Now the phone do not automatically get back to the home network, but I know the areas where my home network has coverage. Under current conditions I have to go to Settings-Mobile Networks-Network operators ... there the phone will search for available networks, which take a lot of time.
Is there any method or app to bypass the searching and force the phone to choose the default network?
Regards,

Unfortunately the phone does what it is supposed to: stick to the network that has the best signal. The roaming network should "kick" the roamer out but that requires communication between Voda and Digi, something which most probably won't happen
PS: usually airplane mode on-off worked for me on my N5 with Digi Mobil.
Anyone any more input on this
Hit Thanks if I Helped

I'm living in a border region where my phone frequently switches to the abroad network in cases where the signal of my domestic operator fades. So I manually select my domestic network in the settings. However, my manual selection doesn't stick and the OP7 returns to automatic network selection once it loses signal of my domestic operator. This results in frequent connections with the abroad network and excruciating costs.
Solutions I've tried:
- manual switching networks: as described above, manual network selection doesn't stick
- 3rd party apps: I found an app which warns me when I connect to an abroad network which isn't very helpful since by the time I get the warning, the connection has already been established and the costs have incurred
Does anyone have a similar problem and possibly a working solution?
turn off roaming?
I'm using an abroad (German) sim so turning off roaming is is not an option. Just wondering if it's a bug in oxygenos that my OP7 keeps ignoring my manual network settings, which would be a perfect solution if it just worked.
Same problem here OP7. Roaming in Poland atm and if set to automatic no data. If I select a provider manually, it works less than 4 minutes and then switches back and data goes away.
Same story on 8T, this is not acceptable at all!
I was so happy with this phone, but this will be my last OnePlus phone.
Hello,
I live between two EU countries and want my phone to roam when I cross the border. Because often when I am in the foreign country the phone sticks to the home network which is very weak in the other country, and Sometimes doesn't connect to a network at all. It's a Google Pixel 4a on Android 13. My iPhone manages this far better. Can I enforce the switch to the foreign network as soon as I cross the border with a gps setting or something like this? Automatic roaming is enabled.
Thank you

Hi, thank you for the link, but these are some proprietary carrier settings not available to me
