Not receiving sms while roaming

Anyone else have the problem of not being able to receive text messages while roaming? I'm in an area where I am constantly switching back and forth between not-roaming and roaming and I only seem to get texts when I am on T-mobile's towers. Any thoughts or comments? Thanks

Did you select in messaging app settings to receive messages while roaming?

Yes I did. Isn't that only for mms and not SMS though? The only roaming setting is under the mms section

Yes, as far as I know, it's only for MMS, because you are supposed to receive SMS anytime when you have a network.
1- Did you flash a new rom recently? If so, I'd suggest you to reflash the rom and try again.
2- You could try to go under your carrier settings and choose manually your carrier.
3- If it doesn't work, contact your carrier's technical support to see if it could be something that is disabled in your account regarding roaming.

I have flashed most of the roms for this phone and it seems to do it regardless of the rom. What are the carrier settings that you are talking about?

Under Wireless & network settings > Mobile network settings > Network operators. You could try to play with these settings (mobile network settings) to see if it works one way or another. Now, if you tried several roms and it still doesn't work, it may be a hardware problem or a network problem (T-Mobile). I would try to fix it with the settings first, and if the problem persists, call tech support.

Ok, I have played with those settings. I just wasn't sure which ones you were talking about originally. The kicker is I'm in an area (Orono, ME) where I am constantly switching between T-mobile and USA Unicel (roaming) and if I set those Network Operator settings to just T-mobile then I get service in certain areas and then nothing in others. I guess I'll just have to try customer support unless someone can come up with another possible solution.

How do you go about updating PRL / profile? Is it under settings like the Gnex? Thanks! Just curious before I buy.

I believe it should be possible
It uses a WTR1605L Chip and from what it appears CDMA tools should work on it.
My goal is to get one working PagePlus however, I canceled my order in fears that it may not work and will wait until it's confirmed.

Yes, it's possible.
For the curious, Settings > More... > Mobile Networks > Carrier Settings

Nothing on the user accessible settings although you can switch to LTE or 3G only instead of global and the device will recognize your carrier settings. There should be more stuff under *#*#3282#*#*

Settings-->more (under wireless & networks)->mobile networks->Network mode (choose from LTE/3g/1x/Global - Global is apparently the default - phone switches to that after a profile/PRL update).

Hi,
If you had lost your IMEI you could not make calls or SMS... EDIT: ok, IMEI is fine.
Check your APN settings in Settings/More/Mobile networks/Access Point Names.

Okay, when i entered my APN settings, nothing was selected. so i selected reset to default APN settings and it had selected one.
But i still have no internet. Is there more to it?

Hmm, at this point multiple things...
Is the APN selected is the one used from your carrier? If yes the settings are correct (just in case)?
Have you network coverage (how is the signal, have you a edge/2G/3G and so on icons, bars)?
What happens when you try to use the browser or whatever (an error message)?
Could you test your SIM card in another phone?
@s-essa, try to add it manually depending of your carrier (maybe call them or take a look on the web for the settings), always in Settings/More/Mobile networks/Access Point Names and click on the little cross surrounded and don't forget to save.

Yes i have bars but i have no icons saying 3g or 4g....
when i try to use the browser it just doesnt load and said that i have no internet connection.
I entered it manually. i got the details off the website for my carrier.. and i did click save.
Does it take time to activate ? So after i enter it and save it and select it... how long until my internet will start working if what i did was correct?

I see that you found the IMEI sticker on the sticker - but does your phone (software) also show that same IMEI?

Well I don't use that menu, I use the one in settings > mobile networks > preferred network type
And i'm not sure what your disconnection issue is.

Where it says 'WCDMA Preferred' tap that, as it has the arrow, and the LTE/GSM option should be there.

You don't see anything for LTE/GSM?
And what i meant about using data is try to use your signal data, like in maps, the internet, etc, and see if it connects.

No results using data/signal for maps etc, displays error unable to connect, occasionally does get connected a for some time only.........OR on and off connectivity .....unstable.
With Color OS no issues, only when flashed to others like CM 11S or Madi.........

I was washing my dishes and it occurred to me that you said you had the chinese version: That doesn't have the bands that support LTE here in the states, so you are most likely wasting your time on that.
Additionally, the reason why the data probably works on the colorOs rom is cause the APNs are different, which will default to the 2/3G network. You many have to change your APN values in the other roms.

How To Guide Xiaomi and Verizon

The followong devices have been tested on Verizon in the US:
Xiaomi 11T
Xiaomi 12 global version
Xiaomi 12X global
Working:
5G
VoLTE
SMS both sending and recieving
Phone calls both sending and recieveing
IMPORTANT:
MMS on stock Global/China ROM wont work on anything other then Verizon messages
Verizon Messages - Apps on Google Play
Stay connected using Verizon Messages on your Smartphone, tablet, and PC
play.google.com
Please install and set as the default sms app.
However MMS does not work on mobile data only wi-fi. Luckily there is a way!
Getting MMS on data:
So this gets complicated. The xiaomi phones come with the wrong APN settings. So what needs to be done is copying the APN settings of a known good rooted android.
1. Copy the telephony.db off the good verizon phone
2. Install signal spy on the xiaomi https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.novvia.fispy
3. Once thats done find out what the verizon carriee id is, it should be a next to verizon, ie. Verizon(######)
4. Now pull the xiaomi telephony.db off the device
5. Install https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/ on a computer
6. Open up the dbs
7. Now delete in the xiaomi dbs all entries ror LTE - Verizon, delete the rows dont NULL it.
8. Almost done
9. Now in both dbs search carrier: Verizon and numeric: ######
10. From the known good db copy everything except the _id column.
11. Past the data into the xiaomi table from row 0
12. Now delete whatever rows were NOT altered.
13. Now both tables should have the same exact verizon settings except for the _id column
14. Push the telephony.db back onto the xiaomi
15. Reboot
16. Open the dialer
17. Enter *#*#4636#*#*
18. Click phone info1
19. Set prefered network type
20. Select the second to last option NR/LTE/TDCDMA....
21. Turn the radio off and on
22. Reboot
23. Open settings and select the VZWINTERNET as the APN (thank you bjs339)
24. ???
25. Profit
The xiaomi can be unrooted and the telephony.db will survive a reboot and a sim removal.
One thing of note, you may need to enable roaming and 5g for the phone to register properly.
RESETTING APN OR RESETING NETWORK WILL ERASE THIS TABLE.
Other apps will now work for text mms, but will be limited to downloads of 30kbs, uploads are unaffected.

Let me know if you need help or have any questions.
I am so sorry for my terrible spelling.

One thing to add, I couldn't send or receive group text messages with iPhone users until I set the APN. I had to actually go into the settings and select VZWINTERNET. This is on the 12x global.

Interesting, did you have to change any of the other settings or did just selecting the APN fix it for you? Also are you able to recieve mms on data only? Thank you.

Selecting it was all I did. In fact, the other settings are locked down. I think I can get mms on data or wifi if that's what you're asking. And I could message with individual iPhone users prior to making the change, just not groups.

Very odd, yeah I messed with it for hours but had to actually root the phone and adjust the APN settings to get it to work. Hmmm, maybe we have different. Ooooh, are you on the 5G plan? I'm the LTE plan.

I will try that, my other idea is your phone is magic and does not abid by the rules the rest of us follow.

Strangely it didnt work, there was a split second it did but then no. Maybe it's regional
