I keep getting an International Data Roaming Alert on my phone stating I am in an international roaming area and will be charged for data usage. I live in rural Nevada but that by no means should be an International Roaming area. If I choose yes to accept the message I still get data but the message keeps popping up. I have had the Droid Incredible, and Droid X and have never had this message pop up with those phones. I have called Verizon and they have verified I am not getting charged roaming but said they can't disable the message.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop this stupid alert?
Please, and thank you!
Have the same thing. Really annoying. Verizon sent me a new phone but that didn't do the trick cuz its built into moto's crapware.

Not sure if this works yet but try ....settings...display... uncheck roaming banner
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Thanks for the reply but I didn't have roaming banner enabled.
Same problem for me - pretty much the ONLY thing I am unhappy with on my X2 at this point. In fact, it locks up my phone during the night disabling my alarm when the warning is left on my screen for too long. Maybe a script fix for this possibly?
Everyone with this issue should request the developers to work on fixing it... for example under the X2 Development page there is a form called "[DEV] Affinity ROM"... if we all ask him and other people working on roms to put this fix high on their list of priorities they might just listen.
Have you guys tried *228 and then option 2? I believe this resets roaming.

Anyone else experiencing receiving multiple Sms messages. If so does anyone know how to fix it?

Yes I have the same problem. Don't know the solution though. I got 5 of one sms and 3 of another today. Very annoying.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Is this happening from all contacts, or just a select few? If a select few, check to see if the messages coming from are from one carrier. I've had this happen to me a few times on another phone. The issue was from the other carrier, not much you can do anything about except report the issue to customer service. If you are on limited texting plan at least, otherwise ignore it.
It's from multiple carriers for me.

Sorry bud, I can't parse your message here.
Yup same problem.. duplicate messages even with the stock app..
Call Verizon just for the purpose of them getting the message.
It's annoying when you get 6 messages.. I wonder if it's counting as multiple txt on the bill..

i would like to hope its doubtful that its costing extra as its mostly a problem of the phone pulling the messages multiple times, basically not ticking the "received" box on the server side of things. afterall, it is easier to count them as they pass through the network versus your phone counting and reporting back, not very efficient... mines kicked up again recently.. and yes rather annoying...
I noticed this too but it only happened after I used ATK more aggressively. I rebooted my phone and the messages stopped coming in repeatedly. Seems to have gone away now that I'm rooted. Hope that helps someone out there.

reboot, dial *228 (on Verizon) goes through the phone activation, problem solved.
Vzw tech said it could be the towers, or the phone... the only thing he was really sure about was that this fixed it.

Multi services?
Ok i intermitently have this same problem but noticed something interesting that may be related? I downloaded a startup manager program to see what was starting up on reboot yesterday and noticed there are 3 text message services running? Im assuming this may be the cause of multiple messages recieved so I have disabled 2 of the 3 instances and was still able to recieve sms but not sure if this will fix the issue or not
If you look that is the text msg app listening to different events, not 3 copies of it loading.
So I can bring it back to the store and get a play or the thunderbolt. Should I?

I would say no. The only thing pulling me into getting the thunderbolt is the unlocked bootloader. I miss flashing a new rom almost every night on my d1.

Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
With as laggy and bogged down as the phone is OOTB, it's one of the top performers on raw power. Once the bootloader is unlocked, the phone with a custom rom is going to be a monster. Also, when it is unlocked, you'd be kicking yourself nightly due to the many roms that will no doubt be released.

Makes me miss my SGS. And the Super AMOLED. That black was extremely nice. But, so far I'm happy with my x2. This mutha has an LED flash on the back! WTF?! lol, something T-mobile has NEVER DONE, and will not do for whatever reason. Besides, their service sucks once you leave the big cities.
The thunderbolt can on 3G. All 4G devices should unless you make the settings CDMA only.

Nope, no 3g phone can do that at the present time.
First post here. I have talked and surfed at the same time on the droid x2. After reading the post that it cannot be done tried it again and it worked.
Nevermind just realized It was using WIFI for data. After turning WIFI off cannot talk and surf.

Actually, yes you can. Just verified for sure. While on the phone, hit home, you can then browse to your hearts content while ignoring the person you have on the phone. Any phone that can connect to a wireless network (not associated with cellular networks), you should be able to surf and talk regardless of the cellular provider.
Firstly, I have an exchange server that I hook into for one of my email accounts. I am leery about using it because the phone plan says its an extra $10 to use exchange. Is this true, and if so is there a workaround for it similar to the wifi tether?
Also since I am a verzion noob, I have found that the in call quality is incredibly compressed and almost "robotic" sounding, if you'll forgive the pun. On the old WinMo devices, there was an edit that could be done to tell the device which type of audio compression to use (as well as your priority on the tower, and lots of other nifty stuff) this was on Sprint, so it was a CDMA carrier. IIRC it was a #code you entered to get to the phone menu.
I would be increasingly interested in the answers to these two questions...
The phone menu is *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer, try that.
No joy, I tried. Do you happen to know if that depends on any apk's I may have frozen? I only froze bloat apps though.

***UPDATE 6/26/2012***
Ok, not all the info that I got before was 100% correct. It looks like RAZR / MAXX is unlocked only for Global(GSM) use which is outside of USA. The Tmobile and ATT sims are not fully working as of right now.
We have couple amazing Devs which are working to resolve this issue.
Please PM me if you want me to update the OP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the Bionic forum people found a way to activate disabled feature of couple 4g verizon phones to be able to use it on GSM networks.
Can someone test it please?

Actually the Bionic does have a GSM radio.
The Razr, 4, Bionic all have the same Qualcomm global radio and a separate LTE radio.
The only thing preventing the Razr, Droid 4 or Bionic from connecting to GSM is the firmware.
The Droid 4 is scheduled for GSM upgrade.

I was under the impression that we just needed the unlock code. Once we have it from say...att, then we put the sim in,enter the code and good to go...maybe its not that easy but on YouTube it looks pretty close lol.
As far as I know it's not that easy due to the fact that the GSM modem itself is disabled. Unless your talking about roaming onto the LTE network. Though ATT uses different frequencies.

Thank you I will follow it later on.
this could get interesting
Okay so, here's my predicament..I'm currently using an Atrix 2 with a regular sized SIM card and wanted to test this out on a busted VZW Razr I got from work (there's a huge crack in the screen and it was just collecting dust). If I went into an AT&T store and bought a micro-SIM, would it work?
The only reason I'm confused is because all I know that AT&T uses the micro-SIMs for is the iPad; I don't know if the structure of the SIM card changes to accomodate just data, or if voice will be able to be transmitted as well.
When I'm sitting at my desk, my phone (Droid X2) will have 4-5 bars with 3g showing. I place a call, 3g goes away(as expected) and I get 1 bar and I lose calls... Why would it fall back to a weaker signal to place a voice call? I understand that data can voice can't happen at the same time on a CDMA signal... But this drastic a difference for calls?
Hi, how do you hold it? After having started to grab it higher and leave the lower part with the antenna out of my palm, it cured it's signal issues.
Best regards,
V
V you have the x2 confused with an iphone this phone will keep almost the exact same signal if you wrap it completely in both hands. This is a software issue that usually only happened on stock and confuses the hell out of verizon reps. I would recommend a SBF to 2.3.4 and then going with cm7/cm9 for a ROM

Try changing your mobile networks settings. See if a different setting of roaming changes the behavior. You might find you are roaming on data and picking up a nearby out of network 3g tower then when you go to voice it favors a more distant in-network tower. Also download the app OpenSignal and see what that tells you about local towers.
And switch from bars to text for your signal, a real number will tell you things a set of bars really can't

Return it and get another phone while you still can. If you read on here long enough you'll see the many problems that arise from this POS phone. If you are going to stay with it you will probably be forced into a custom ROM just to make it work right. Memory is one of the main culprits that keep this phone from performing well. Every other phone that has come out since then that has 1GB of memory or higher has either had an opportunity to get more updates or better performing custom ROMs.
