So here is another one for you guys. I haven't seen anybody else talk about it on this forum yet. But every time I flash a ROM, even when it's meant for boost Mobile, I always get a roaming indicator off. It seams like I still have a data connection cause it shows 3g and such. But I'd it safe to keep doing it? Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Bump maybe

what does it say under settings->wireless & networks More..->Mobile network settings
specifically:
->Network Mode?
I have mine on home only
->CDMA settings?
mine are all grayed out
->Roaming Guards?
none selected in mine
hope that helps.
Also adding on to this I just started using the official nightly from cyanogen and still got the indicator.
Preferred Network mode is global
System select is set to home only.
Cdma subscription is set to NV.
It's weird cause in not losing data connection but now I can't seam to download pics from MMS messages. Idk. Every build seams to do this.

And I couldn't find the roaming guard?

Are you selecting 2G networks only? If so, that will change it.
It also changes to GSM Only if Wifi Calling is enabled and connected.
no im not, all that changes on its own i just notice it only happens when i have my wifi on. its kind of a pain to have to keep changing it i never had that problem with any other phone
are you using the sim card that had been provided with g2x or from your previous phone? ive had issues where my apns had been disappearing after flashing custom rom, activated new sim today, works great just fyi
I'm having the same problem. I'm using simple mobile apn settings but, whenever i try to use my data. It changes back to the t-mo apn settings
Mobile network switching is normal behavior. If the Edge signal is stronger than the 3G signal the phone will switch to whichever signal is strongest. If you want 3/4G only then download '3G Only' app from the Android Market.
Ok so I just got this phone from Verizon and I did not now that the service would suck, I've been all through the settings bad even using roaming apps but nothing seems to allow me to roam and get a decent reception...
Does anybody know how to unlock the roaming option from the settings?

Have you tried using "Roam Control" app? There is no setting built in to force the roam feature.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
dude, i just went thru the same exact thing today. i even went totally stock, kernel, recovery and everything, still stuck in roaming.
i spent hours then i did the factory reset code on the dialer ( *#7780# (Factory Reset) ) and it worked again, i was so happy because i was thinking that i have to deal with the bs with sending the phone back or getting a new sim if that was the case. i hope it works for you also.
EDIT: i thought you were stuck roaming, not that u wanted to roam hahhahaha nevermind

I did try and also used the phone info app to see if I was roaming but nothing changes.
Is there any way to update the Prl? To see if a different prl will give me better reception

Go to settings then data usage and hit menu and you can turn roaming on.

Thanks... I got mine working but my wife isn't getting roam signal... I guess i'm gonna do the same process i did to mine...
Thanks a lot everyone
Edit...
I take back what i said. so basically im roaming and can make phonecalls but i get no network access and even though my phone says roaming voice and data i cannot access data...
here are my screen shots
I upgraded to CM10 10.0.0 stable this weekend and have been having no problems. However, I commuted to NY this morning and now I have no cell/internet service when I should have 4G LTE.
I'm using the UCLI3 radio.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Try setting your apn to Lte. Seems like you should have some sort of cell service though.

Thanks so much for your reply!
I've gone into settings...more...mobile networks...network mode and used preferred network mode: LTE/GSM/WCDMA. I also tried updating the network operator to AT&T (and tried automatically choose preferred network) and I still get no service in NY.
Edit: DUH...I figured out where I needed to change the setting and everything appears to be fixed. Thanks!

Had a similar issue yesterday in Houston. Had to select LTE apn, then search for mobile carriers manually, then select choose automatically. Glad you figured it out

It seems when I'm in a different area and I get h/h+/3g that my battery drains more than when I'm at home using 4g? Why is that? Or am I just crazy...
It's probably because when you're out and about the phone is searching for a signal. That uses a lot of juice.

+1, when the phone is not on 4G (LTE) it is constantly looking for 4G, if you are able to change your radio mode to WCDMA via the CM settings (if you are on CM10) theoretically, it should not continue to search for 4G. I don't have the experience to see that this is the case (battery savings)
Oh so the culprit is searching not the signal itself! Ah well thanks guys! I appreciate it!
I've been trying these steps from another post but it won't work with slim bean

I'm using CM9 so this may look different.
Bring up the phone dialer

That depends on the radio. ATT radios are RAT locked so that doesn't work. Also USSD codes don't seem to work on AOSP based ROMs.
Thanks to csschmit I spelled it wrong but can't find the post.
I do the toggle from Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Network Mode and change it to GSM/WCDMA and it will force HSPA.
If that doesn't stick, and immediately switches back to LTE, click Network Operators and it may take a long time for the search to complete, if it completes and you don't see AT&T try again over and over until it does. Once you finally see AT&T, click it and it will say "Registered on Network" and the toggle will now work. Even the "use 2g to save battery" will work.
It takes a long time for me to get AT&T to show but you only have to do it once per reboot provided you don't toggle Airplane mode.

Thanks for info too! When you check 2G only, is that only edge? Do you get 3g,hspa,hspa+?
In other words what I'm asking is, should I even check the box for 2G? Where i live constantly changes from H toH+ to 4G. Rather just stick with H+ and lower and conserve that battery

2g is only edge, you will not get higher speeds when it is checked, and supposedly has the best power savings, you can always have data off until needed which would be the best battery saver
Hey guys, just recently upgraded to cm-12.1-20150811-NIGHTLY-d801, and everything seems fine expect that my data doesn't work for some odd reasons, making phone calls seem to work, but not getting anything with data, can anyone help?
Update your apn
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app
Same here on no data, APN settings look good. Modem issues?
It has to be a software issue. It happens to me as well. I updated apn settings manually but still no luck. I keep hoping there is a fix for it with a new nightly but nothing yet.
Sent from my LG-F350K using Tapatalk
This just happened to me. I was able to fix it by going into APN settings and selecting the tmo ipv6 APN. That one worked for me.
