why do i have a "R" signal on top of my signal strength. i have not enabled data roaming. i no longer have any internet. as far as i know the apn is correct and i am on XXK14 modem. Its not ROM issue as well as i have already flashed official rom but the problem still persists. It may be a stupid question but its wearing me down.
funny thing is when i enable roaming i get data although only GPRS.
any ideas????
The "R" is for network roaming (not data). May change to another network if lost connectivity.
Menu / wireless & networks / mobile networks / network operators ..... and change back to your "home" network.
Edit: I'm assuming type not actually roaming though.....

In settings, about phone, status what does it say for you guys on three uk under mobile network type.
Mine would say HSPDA regardless of being on 3g or H, now though it constantly displays UMTS
Is that normal? Is it because I've flashed a custom rom?
And also I've noticed my data connection changes often from 3g to H.
Lastly in network mode do you guys have it on auto or WCDMA only.
Thanks
Well it will switch to 3g(umts) when there isn't anybdata being sent/received. When you need data it switches to h(hspa) so you get the fastest speeds.
This is to save battery life, so when you check in settings your probably not pulling data.
Try downloading something then looking.

Thanks for the helpful reply.
Another thing though, would it benefit me switching to wcdma only instead of auto,?
Few days back i have disconnected in mobile network setting use of pocket data.
Now I'm in new billing period and did go back to enable use of pocket data.
But nothing happened no H+ with arrows nothing.
I did pull battery out and turn back phone on and still nothing.
Did any one had the same problem if so what's the solution please?
thanks you
Check again with your Network Carrier.
Check that you still have an APN, its correct and it's selected for use.
Phone menu / settings / wireless & networks / mobile networks / access point names
Also ensure that you haven't just selected GSM only, try Network mode "auto", if not already.
Also make sure you are not roaming.

Guys, I am trying to understand how to change my mobile network access on the phone.
I am on the ATT version of the SGS2 and have repeatedly used
*#301279# -->Change HSPA Revision--->R99-HSPA off, but I continue to display the H+ in the status bar. My speed tests don't change at all with regard to the selection I make (1,2,3). Am I doing something wrong? Am I supposed to "save" the settings after I make the selection?
I live in South Florida and we have H+ here, so I am really not sure what is going on. The phone also displays my network as UTMS and I have NEVER seen 3G in the status bar. I am using my old sim from my Iphone 3gs with data unlimited plan with the correct (4g) APNs.
Any ideas guys?

I`a m not on the AT&T network so i can`t advice you myself but i would look on the thread of Designgears on xda as he`s on your network to. If you don`t see anything about apn-settings post a question on XDA and you`ll get answers. Or google around for your settings and look on the AT&T website.
Hope you find your answers
Also just to clarify, I'm trying to get the phone in 3g only mode.

Hiya there,
I switched to Three's One Plan quite a few months ago, and it is seemingly great.
However, whenever I tend to travel through, or visit, places that do not have Three's coverage, it roams onto a partner network (Orange, I think).
As soon as that happens, I get the little "R" on top of the network bars, and a warning triangle notification which says "Data roaming - You havev lost data connectivity because you left our home network with data roaming .. " can't read the rest :/, although a bit of online research says " .. with data roaming turned off." Under the mobile network settings, I have Use Packet Data and Data Roaming enabled, and my APN set to three.co.uk (APN type: default MCC:234 MNC:20)
Any ideas as to why I can't get any data access at all? Customer services tend to get me round and round a circle, and keep asking me to try another phone, which I would if I could right now.
Did u brought that 5L abroad data packet and u can try to flash other modems maybe this help

Woke up this morning with everything working. Got out of bed and place my phone on my desk and turned on my computer. I then looked back at my phone to see i had not service. Confused, i restarted my phone to see if that worked and it didnt. I tried another sim and it didnt work either. i then put both of the sims in a iphone and it worked there. I restored the phone to stock and 2 other roms and it still isnt working. The weird part is when on stock i get signal bars even when their is no sim. When i try to dial out i get "Not Registered on Network"
Any help is great help
Wrong section, ask in the general or Q&A.

Have you checked your Settings? Still got IMEI? ([Settings] [About Phone] [Status]) Phone connected to correct Network Operator? Access Point Names has correct data in it? [Settings] [More Settings] [Mobile Neworks]
Thanks for the responses. I had a rom running on it for a little bit over a week and didnt make any changes since. I also do have an Imei and an apn

It doesnt even show my network operator, thats the weird part it only shows rogers and when i put a sim in for fido (Rogers>Fido) i got service but no h+ even with the correct apn i only got edge
My Network operator doesn't show as a normal either - I do a Search and get (after a wait) Telstra, Optus and Voda - choose Telstra and it pops up a 'Registered on Network' msg.

yeah when i search i only get rogers???? This is the single most awkward thing ive ever seen
EDITTZ Found the problem. The phone switched itself to only look for one band not all. +_+ dont know how it got their and how it pertained through all the wipes but got it working DDDDDDDD
i had the same very exact problem..and yes when its in auto mode it only detects gsm signal so the data is slow signal is E.
i usually use the wcdma only option so that the phone on searches for 3g h and h+ but now when i select that option it only gives me
not registered on network..and no data signal at all.. and also the weird thing is that there is a signal bar on it plus when i scan for
network it searches the other two carrier brand on our country not the sims own carrier. help anyone

Hey xTristinx, glad you got your phone working.
I have the same problem on my Galaxy S, my SIM wouldn't register a network on it but it worked on a different phone. My Galaxy S still gets a signal but always says "out of service". I think this might be a problem because my friend used his SIM card in my phone and it f***** up the bands. Could you give me any suggestions on how you fixed your problem?
Thank you.
