[Q] Any fix for this roaming bug? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The issue is that while roaming and data enabled on roaming, Nexus 5 (stock 4.4.4r2) just shows the roaming "R" icon instead of showing E, H, H+ or LTE icons for data.
This seems to be a well known bug: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=71339 , but no proper solution seems to exist. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this "R" icon without flashing any 3rd party ROM, tried Mahdi under MultiROM, it's the same issue there under it's default settings. I'm rooted and running ART.

[Q] Signal problems

I am running on [4.4.2] [FEB-13][UNOFFICIAL] AOSB Project [v1.2.9] with a I535VRUCML1 modem. my signal was giving me 1x so i went into the options and changed the prefered network type to LTE/CDMA/EvDo and allowed data roaming.and now it i toggle airplane mode i can get one bar of 4g but then it switches down to one bar of 3g and eventually down to 1x. I originally had the VRBMF1 modem with the same results. Also it might be worth mentioning that when i select LTE/CDMA/EvDo it apears as network mode: CDMA+LTE/EvDo. Any ideas on what i might be doing wrong, or how to fix it?

I won't trust the signal bar, specially on custom rom. You should download an app called SignalChecke light and see the reading in db. Around -102db is OK.

H and H+ problem

Hello guys,
I have flashed my Moto G xt1032 8Gb into a GPE with this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747181
But now i have an issue with H and H+ network .. I only have E (edge) and 3G in my notification bar, no H and no H+ (I live in France)
When i go to setting/about phone/stat, it' s noticed "mobile network type: HSPA", so why i don' t have the "H" in my notification bar ?
I am on KOT49H.M004 build with the latest NON-HLOS.bin from Motorola stock retail FR (MSM8626BP_1032.355.66.00R)
Can you help me ?
The GPE Moto G is only available in the USA, where most phones appear to show 3G instead of H/H+.. It's purely cosmetic, your phone can still access H/H+ networks but you just can't tell if it is.
You can use GravityBox (Xposed module) to enable the icon again if you wish, I prefer to leave it as is because my network type changes so often between 3G/H and H+ which gets annoying.

3G data disable while on roaming

Hello,
I know there is a thread for this in Galaxy Note section, but i feel i need to share this for OPO community.
I'm using OPO v33 rom. I live in Mumbai and have a 3G vodafone postpaid corporate connection.
Recently i have been to my native mysore on few occasions, and everytime i have seen the 3G data getting disabled even when the data connection settings are enable on roaming.
I never faced this issue on my nokia lumia 920 which perfectly latched onto roaming and 3G data was available.
On roaming, with OPO, the data gets disabled and i dont get a specific "E" or "H" sign with + noticafion.
I only have the signal bars with small R icon on top of the bar.
Please let me know if there is a workaround for this.
I have also seen this issue on v25 rom aswell.
Note: i have tried setting connectivity to automatic in mobile networks.. and also tried to select the specific Vodafone network. both didnt solve this issue.
Another interesting thing while on roaming: my nokia 920 recognised 2 networks for vodafone.. one with 2G, 3G and another with only 2G. and i could select the first one .. and 3G was getting enabled without any issues.
i think that E and H as well as H+ is only something you can geti n your own country. When roaming, it's always the default for that service prodiver in the country that you will get.

You said your rom is not rooted? That probably means the default network settings for your phone is LTE/3G/2G. That option will look for the best signal you have in your current location, then it will choose that data network i.e., EDGE .
It seems like your 4g/LTE signal is weak on your vicinity Perhaps, if you could force LTE (by rooting and installing Advance Signal Status app from Playstore [Device Info >Set Preferred Network Type > LTE only) you can have at least lte reception. Unless, 4g is not available in your area
Try going outside your house, and find open spot and see if your device was able to detect it.
Just let me know if you still have some concerns. Cheers!

Same problem for me. Same galaxy s6 model and same original android version 5.1.1 (g920fxxu3q0kn)
From a couple of days it doesn't connect on lte. But the big problem is that if I choose lte/3g/2g it doesn't connect neither in 3g. I have to force it to 3g only to let the device connect back to internet.
I don't know why but when I came back home, if I switch back on lte/3g/2g, it connect back again on 3g (no lte in my home area)
I'm not sure if it is involved with transit in/out wifi spot or some kind of lte cells. I will try other tests next days
I fear it could be a bad bug

mobile sinal problem

Hi, after install cm13. My device dont show HSPA or HSPA+ networks, only 3g or 4g. In stock it doesnt happens, only on custom ROMs (cm13, cm14.1, AOSP...)
There's a fix for this? Xt1543
It's not a "signal problem" it just displays it differently... if you want stock indicators, go back to stock, or deal with the fact the CM displays the signal a different way. You can always use Network Signal Info app to verify the correct signal.
