T-Mobile (UK) users can now sign up free to access the Orange network for improved coverage. I have done this and found a big improvement, particularly when I travel around Scotland. The only irritation is that I keep getting the warning message about roaming charges. Is there a way to disable this for the HTC HD2?
I use BSB Tweaks which is great - any chance of the author adding this feature?
Apologies if this has been dealt with on the forum, but a quick search didn't find anything.
Thanks in advance.
Same problem...
I have just enabled a few options connected with data usage when roaming. Go to settings/data services and then enable a few under activesync, stocks, weather and internet time sync. never seen that message afterwards.
Found this fix from a energy rhodium user

I live just off the AT&T network, but I never saw this warning until I updated to the November 2 rom. I even tried clean installing and only setting up my carrier. Still get this message everytime my signal connects while roaming.
FYI for all. I figured out what was different in this ROM from the October 25 version. The reg key ShowRoamingMessage was set to 1 in this ROM and was 0 in previous roms. I set it to 0 and all is well again. Not sure if there is a GUI switch for it.

Hi to everyone,
it happened something strange to me since I first switched on my SmartFlip:
while being in my country and using a local operator SIM, as soon as I switched on my phone, the ROAMING icon appeared and I was not able to let it go (it is present even while using GPRS connection as a G and a filled triangle).
Yesterday I had to move to another city (our Capital City, ROME) and when I switched it on again after the flight, the roaming icon was gone, even during GPRS connection.
I thought I somehow solved my problem, but after switching it on again after the flight back, it appeared again and is still present.
I've contacted my operator, but they say it has to be something within the phone (and I believe them as I've used that SIM with many other HTC phones with no problem at all).
A friend of mine which has the SmartFlip too but a different operator (TIM), has no problem at all.
Does anyone reports the same problem, or ever faced such a behaviour ?
Thank you for your help.
Ciao
ROAMING: SOLUTION FOUND (but not solved !!!)
Hi to everyone,
I don't know yet WHY this happens to me (and not to other people, for instance...), but...
Well, I reported my phone always getting to "ROAMING" while it was not.
I've found that IF I place in the phone one of my two SIMs (I have two with the same phone number, provided by my phone operator VODAFONE ITALY, which gives this as a service) and the SIM is PIN LOCKED, then, after unlocking it, the phone reports being in ROAMING.
If I just remove the PIN LOCK from the SIM, then the ROAMING ICON is not appearing anymore.
I have to switch the phone off and on again to see the results, but till now (more than 10 tries), I haven't failed one.
I've asked some friends of mine with other operator's SIMs to try the same, but they do not report the same behaviour.
Is there anyone else reporting this ? And with which operator ?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards.
I found this nice little registry tweak to remove the roaming icon (triangle) on HowardForums.
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableRoamingIndicator
Set 1 to disable the triangle
Set 0 to enable the triangle
I now have a square E or G icon instead
same problem
hi mix,
i have the same problem. this behaviour happens only with sims of vodafone (128), with old ones (64) no.
this happen also with qtek 8310 with the same sim vodafone 128
Hi Bostik,
I've finally found (some time ago anyway...) that this is due to the fact there is the PIN code activated on phone startup...
If you remove PIN code lock on phone startup, then the ROMAING triangle disappears...
I believe this is a O.S. fault, not within the phone itself...
Should be checked with other machines with WM5 PHONE on (but may differ due to OS different builds...).
I decided to risk removing my PIN code... (I can recognise my phone being lost within minutes usually and I can then block SIM and phone very quickly).
It's annoying, but this is our life... ;-)
Happy new year.
This occurs when swithing from 900 to 1800 networks of the same operateor, its a bug

I have an O2 Wizard G4 not CID unlocked I cannot get my roaming Icon to dissapear due to its looking for a tower from the UK. That is from the O2 guys and the Registry Tweak has no effect for me either it automatically changes back to Dword 0 after Soft reset.

Thanks Mate!!!!
Been driving T-Mobile crazy about this Roaming Icon and its gone. Worked for my T-Mobile SDAII aka HTC Tornado and following this simple instruction( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1717878&postcount=3 ) now I don't get the Roaming Warning and Outlook works fine. )

I tried applying this trick to my Kaiser. My provider (Telfort) got bought by another (KPN) so now all Telfort users "roam" on the KPN network. Anybody know any other tricks I could try to get rid of the roaming triangle icon? Thanks so much!!
Hi there,
I have searched and searched but I can't find anything. I know it's an unusual request but is there an app (or even some simple built-in functionality or a reg tweak) that allows you to enable all data roaming on the HTC?
The reason for this is that, in UK T-Mo and Orange are now network sharing. I am on T-Mobile but when my reception is low the service switches to Orange.
Problem is that my phone thinks it is roaming when it switches to Orange and this messes with my data services. I cannot figure out which of those services are set to disable data in roaming aas I'm not sure where to look.
I'd be happy to set all of my apps to download while roaming as I have NoDataInRoam installed for when I go abroad. The rest of the time I do want to download data when 'roaming'!!
Any help anyone? I know it seems dumb, sorry.
AdLoki
Have a look in the settings tab in sense, there is an option for Data Services. Go to each service you use and enable the check box Download When Roaming. Hope this helps.
Hi Guys!
All we have crossed Battery Issue.... just like I faced. I managed to found a good message released by some one on Internet today.
Sorry for no able to post outside links, The site is http: //blog.walshie.me/2010/11/15/htc-mozart-telstrabattery-issues-solved/

Updated: HTC Mozart & Telstra–Battery Issues. “SOLVED”!
with 40 comments
Since the Mozart was released in Australia about 3 or 4 weeks ago, there has been a public uproar about the battery performance. Sometimes I haven’t been able to get 6 hours out of a fully charged battery with push email on.
I’ve been working with a technician from Telstra for the last 2 weeks debugging the issues. The root of the cause has come down to the way the Phone is configured to operate on the Next G network. By default, the phone uses the telstra.wap APN (Access Point Name) to connect you to the interwebs. Now the telstra.wap APN allows you to access internal telstra services like Mobile Data Usage & MyBill etc.
The “issue” isn’t one that “we” fully understand at the moment, it could be a configuration issue on the Telstra network or a software configuration change on the device. But Telstra understand the issue and are actively working to get a fix.
A workaround is available for all those who can’t wait for a ROM upgrade. All you need to do is add an APN in the “mobile network” configuration settings. The APN is “telstra.iph”.
Now this APN is specific to devices that require PUSH email & use a fair amount of data. The APN transparently proxies all your HTTP & HTTPS traffic over the Telstra network and improves the battery life 300%! I went from 6 hours to over 24 hours battery life.
To set the APN, go to Settings > mobile network. Scroll right to the bottom and click “add apn”. In the APN box, type “telstra.iph” and click the tick icon in the Application Bar.
Now, this is by NO means a permanent fix. What this does is provide a temporary solution for us while Telstra & HTC work on a fix.
The only “issue” with hard setting this APN, you can no longer get to the “My Bill” part of the Telstra Portal, you can still see “my data usage” and everything else.
Update: While hard setting the APN fixes the battery issue. It appears it stops people from purchasing apps via your Telstra bill. This is because the default proxy inserts billing identifiers as headers when you click “buy” via the Marketplace app on your phone. Now you”re using a DIFFERENT http server (the iPhone specific ones), which don”t know about the Windows Phone marketplace headers. To get around this, click the “change payment method” link before you click the buy button. This will give you the option of registering a new credit card.
Best Regards
USA using Mozart
Ok, I'm using a Telstra Mozart with an AT&T SIM card. Will this work for me? Usually if I change the APN I lose my service.
I have flashed the TMob_AT ROM by Ansar
Thanks for posting a 4 month out of date fix for a SPECIFIC issue only on TELSTRA to do with their APN, which was fixed months ago.
This post is totally useless and in fact incorrect as was resolved in December.
If anyone changes their APN because of this post, they are idiots.

No, don't change it, you are not using Telstras network, and if you are they fixed it months ago.
I really have no idea why the OP pasted it here, pure stupity.
It was regarding an issue with the TELSTRA NETWORK NOT THE PHONE.
Do not use these settings if you are not in australia and on telstra. It will not work anywhere else in the world, and it has been resolved locally. Does not help in Aus any more either.
@OP [original poster] does your phone work with that APN change? probably not! while your enthusiasm is valued, misinformation is not! Test before you post!
Completely disable & block 2G 3G ALL data access on Android via S/W, Hack, or MDM?
Possible to completely disable 2G 3G ALL data on Android directly using some Software on PC or Phone or via MDM?
There have been cases of some people I know (older family) that were brought an Android phone but inadvertently some Data was used without a Data Plan - more expensive.
Lets say instead of buying Feature Phones for some delivery boys, we bought Cheapest Android phones possible - The boss there just wants Phone calls with them and wants to ensure the boys wont be able to Rack up Data use/ bills on the phone -
Are there ways to Disable Data AND/ OR WiFI? Selectively or so? Maybe only have it on when being configured by MDM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42051073
I saw this suggested APN answer, but that means a user/ employee can change it as well. Any "Administrator" kind of way to "block the data" and "disable users ability to circumvent" around it? Some MDM or Software / Hack solutions besides the wrong APN hack that someone could possibly get around? Any way to prevent them getting around as an Admin?
You could have the carrier block it but to be honest it will cause more issues as the device was made to be connected so it will lag and things will be force closing all over the place.

Carrier company are devious people. They canned entire CDMA network with only a 7 day notice, forced millions of people to buy GSM phones and since there was no price diff between a Feature Phone & Android Phone we got cheapest Android on the market for the delivery boys.
BQ S37
Kit Kat 4.4
It has We UI
They are so devious, to get new SIMs they forced us to send new GSM phones to them and then only activated the old CDMA numbers on GSM and then added:
1. Phone numbers of all their Sister companies - Insurance, Healthcare etc etc
2. Set up APNs and data etc on the phone
So I followed the following suggestions:
1. Enter wrong data into APN - Tested it
2. Disabled "Data Traffic" in Toggles
But, the issue is that these 2 can be fixed by someone if so inclined.
Is there any way to DISABLE a Users access to these things?
