I just got this phone and unlocked the bootloader and flashed CHERRYn. However I don't see the Data Roaming options to turn on/off. I'm assuming its suppose to be under Settings > Wireless & Networks but it's not there. Is that because of the ROM? I haven't tried the stock AT&T 2.3.4 yet and I'm pretty new to Android so I wasn't sure if I was missing something.
Edit:
I actually just found it in another thread while searching some more:
Settings>Data Manager>Data Delivery.

Hi Guys,
I have T-Mo's Vibrant and whenever my phone goes into roaming mode, this box comes up that informs me that my data roaming option is switched on, although I always switch it off.
So I read some threads about data roaming option and then went to build.prop using "SGS Tools" to change the option to false, but after saving the change, it goes back to true.
My Vibrant is loaded by JK6 Rom with JL1 Modem and rooted by SuperOneClick software.
Is there anyone who can help me out getting rid of data roaming option forever?
Thanks,
Hello,
I bought my Atrix in AT&T, unlocked the sim and then rooted it. 3 days ago I finally bought a data plan, but for some reason, even when I'm using the same settings I got from Cellcom (my cellular supplier), the only thing I'm getting is "page is not available". I have found out that no matter if I have APN point or not, the H sign still appears in grey. Also, quick settings doesn't allow me to switch the data to "on" - it remains on "off" and under it, written "unknown". I really want to fix this problem, but I'm running out of ideas. please help me =)
Rooted AT&T Atrix: GingerBlur 4.5 ( already came from AT&T with 4.1.83)
thanks!
delete the settings that are in. reset to default and try to input again. after you save them make sure you select the actual apn for use. you should see the icons start to light up if its in right
I've done it like milions of time.
Off course,when I put my sim in cellcom's phone I can surf.I don't understand why the data is always off...
Hello
I have the S2 Galaxy with ICS 4.0.3 - carphone warehouse version , it was originally locked to UK Orange.
On Orange it always allowed phone calls to be made whilst the phone internet data was also turned on. (H+ in the top right corner)
Now that I've had the phone unlocked and am using a UK 3 sim card, I've had problems with the phone use.
1) If the internet data is turned on and I'm not browsing and I try to make a phone call - I get the message - 'No internet calls allowed' ??
2) On trying to access the phones data internet I now keep getting a web message from 3 - 'Your trying to use your phone as a modem or in a hotspot' ??
I've toggled between the data packet selection and the data roaming selection buttons in the wireless and network settings area.
Phoned 3 a few times, been through all the checks in the settings area.
Tethering off
Wifi off
Anything that shouldn't be checked isn't!
Anyway I've been directed to the APN settings and there is nothing there - everything is UNSET !
I've read the threads here and used the 3 APN settings and my phone will not save what I type in?
3 went through the set up and to finalise I pressed save - only for it not to save - the APN page is still blank.
Any ideas on what the problem could be ?
Thanks

Flash a Custom ROM like CyanogenMod or flash a Retail ROM. Look here on XDA and catch one. It will work for sure!
I already flashed a retail ROM onto the phone - UK Carphone warehouse ICS 4.0.3

Solved !!
Problem solved..
I reflashed a non wipe ICS 4.0.3 over what was already on the phone.
I had taken a few back up rom images via CWM and used one of them to restore the DATA program apps!
The APN is there now and reads like this should anyone else need the info to sort theirs out.

Have a good evening everyone!
I feel really stupid for asking this, but here goes. I have a Photon, just got one of the T-Mobile SIM cards, activated it with the $30/month unlimited web+text+100 minutes talk time thing and I'm wondering - for my own purposes, mind you - how to purposely enable only 2G data on the Photon, if at all possible.
Now, at the moment I'm running the stock 2.3.4 ROM, unlocked and rooted so I could install the KDDI radio, and my T-Mobile speeds are consistently in the 5-6 Mbps range which is more than acceptable and I have zero issues with that service at the moment.
Having said that, and again for my own purposes, is there a specific way to get the 3G data connection switched to straight 2G/EDGE mode directly on this thing? I will be moving over to cybik's CM7 ROM here shortly and I can't recall (when I ran it a few days ago) if there's an option in the Mobile networks menu to switch from 2G to 3G. I was able to see the T-Mobile 2G network under the secondary menu as an available network, and I selected it but it still appears to be 3G.
Guess I'll play around with it some more, maybe there's a toggle on Google Play or something, just thought I'd toss the question out since I can't seem to locate such a toggle myself. DOH!!!
Update:
Installed that CM7 from cybik and it does have a menu toggle to directly enable 2G mode, works fine here for me (140-180 Kbps consistent, works great for streaming audio which I listen to frequently, iHeartRadio and a bunch of different police scanners online from RadioReference using Scanner Radio Pro). But I'm still wondering if it's possible to enable that with the stock 2.3.4 ROM directly, if anyone can offer any info, thanks.

It is for the atrix, but should be similar for stock.
Also you are correct CM7 has those settings allowed by default.
Also you can set the mode in the *#*#4636#*#* menu. Under phone information > CDMA Only = 2G ; EvDO only = 3G
Also: be careful editing the settings in the *#*#4636#*#* menu under the stock rom. It did it once and locked my phone on GSM and had to SBF to restore CDMA. Dunno why it did that but I have seen others have the same issue. IIRC i didn't even enable GSM it just happened when I entered the phone information menu.
My venerable Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (rooted, Android 4.2.2 using CyanogenMod 10.1.2 ROM, on Virgin UK) has always served me very well when roaming abroad, and up to last year I had no problems with data connections. I'm just back from France, and could not get any data connection for the entire 2 weeks I was away (I bought a travel pass of course, and got confirmation of validity). This is totally unprecedented. I spent hours on the phone (calls and texts were OK) to Virgin, who variously said they needed to refresh my account settings at their end, then that there were known European network issues, and then that the problem was with the phone. I was told to turn on international roaming, but I don't have that option. The options at Settings>networks>mobile networks are:
Data enabled - ticked
Data roaming - ticked
National data roaming - ticked
Access point names
Use only 2G networks - unticked
Network operators
I don't have anything called international data roaming, and indeed have never seen this on any Android version I have ever had. I have seen images of other phones where `data roaming' is replaced by `international data roaming', and I'm sure there is no technical difference. Roaming is roaming surely?
I am very suspicious that there is actually nothing wrong with my phone, and that something odd is going on with Virgin. The reason is that last year I was running Android ICS using a different ROM, and mobile data kept turning off. This went on for over a week until Virgin found it was their fault and fixed it. At that time they never mentioned international roaming. I've done the usual searches and not turned up anything useful. There can't be anything wrong with the handset because data access turned straight back on when I got back to the UK. Can anyone shed any light?
Hmm. Calls and texts were working though, just not data? And it wasn't an APN setting? I'm assuming they had you check those. Did it show you were connected to data but there was no data transfer? In Settings > About Phone > Status - what would it say? Disconnected? You've used the phone on that other network before? It's possible that the other carrier's data frequencies aren't supported by the phone.

Yes they got me to check all settings and all were OK, except that according to Virgin there should be this `international data roaming' option which I don't have. The signal strength icon on the home screen showed a little R not a little H as normal. So I don't think there was any data connection. My key question though is whether there is any evidence at all that rooting affects roaming. I've been searching the web for over a week and found nothing about that. Frankly I don't believe it.
