Always on roaming? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone always displays "R" on top of the signal bar even though roaming is off. How do I disable this? I can't use my mobile data because of this. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

What ROM are you on? I suppose its some Nougat ROM since the R is only displayed in Nougat.
Anyways the R is displayed since you are roaming. It will show the R no matter you have enabled roaming or not.
And you eill have to enable Data Roaming to access Mobile Data.

Network issues

I'm on stock rooted 4.4.3. I'm unable to make or receive calls, didn't test SMS since I use google voice. Data works fine but I noticed it never goes into 3g mode anymore.
So basically it seems like i'm stuck in LTE only mode with no 3g or CDMA calling.
In my network settings, the preferred network is LTE/3GPP instead of LTE/CDMA option. Anyone know how to fix this?

Not there either. The problem im having is my MMS isnt working, it says network not supported, talked to sprint, they went through all their trouble shooting to no avail either. And when I do the number for provisioning (##76somthingsomthing#) it just goes to call log. Need to update my PRL profile but it doesnt exist on the device anymore.

Mobile data always active

Hidden away, in Developer options, is an option to keep mobile data always active. Even when wifi is active, for fast network switching. I assume that we want this enabled? Just curious.

I've had it on for awhile now, on different phones and from I've noticed it's for fast Network switching. Never had an issue with it being on all the time. Orero and earlier had an option for wifi being aggressive in handing over to carrier data when wifi was poor. Don't see it in pie now. I would have that option as well as the option in for mobile data always active

[Crowdsourcing] 4G/3G/2G Icon Always Showing Even if Mobile Data is Off

Hello!
So I used to have an EVA-L19C636 on Nougat and tried rebranding it to an EVA-AL10 on Oreo. After doing that, I noticed that the 4G/3G/2G icons are always there even if Mobile data is turned off. This isn't the case with Nougat, as it would only show once you turn on Mobile data.
This is how it looks like in Oreo:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I was wondering if anyone knows how to disable this?

I'm actually referring to a way involving editing system files, not just for some switch in the Settings or something. Thanks for the input, though. :good:

[Help ]Samsung S20 Ultra/NO DATA/NO SMS/NO MMS/NO APN EDIT/ NO HOPE!!

I just bought S20 Ultra. My service is thru Total Wireless but it is a Verizon phone. I bought a new SIM and went thru all the hoops to activate it but I have no data, and no messaging. It shows 4G LTE on the top but it is greyed out. When I try to make a call it shows 1X. Also when I go to APN settings I can not add or edit and it displays "APN settings are not available for this user" I spent 11 hours between CHAT and Phone calls with Customer service. They had me factory reset twice, reset network settings, power on with and without data/wifi/roaming and or airplane mode on numerous times . They said they were updating my APN settings every time and pushing something thru to my phone but none of it worked. I tried to put a non working sim from T Mobile in and then add an apn but every time I would change the MCC it would disappear when I went to save. I don't know what else to try but I am hoping one of you might be able to help !!
