Help Constant Data Roaming /loss of Data Connectivity notification...

I realize this is an old thread, but had to comment...

I was googling for any information about the data roaming notification which constantly pops up on my Samsung Galaxy phone, and no matter what I select, it comes back, sometimes within seconds.

As I read through this thread, I started to gain hope that someone would have found a solution and shared it here. Alas, I found that the thread got completely ******* hijacked and derailed, by someone bringing up a totally different and unrelated issue, and thus the thread wound up being 100% useless.

So, since I had wasted so much time reading through the needlessly hijacked message, I felt obliged to contribute absolutely nothing, much like the moderator who chose to single out the carrier-bashing in his post, when the real issue was that the thread was completely derailed to begin with.

I didn't notice, but it isn't on my phone anymore. I didn't do anything to get rid of it... it's just gone.
 
This actually keeps you from roaming, if you want to roam you need these checked




I have also tried everything I can think of and still get it. I have turned off all roaming guards. I have been round and round with Sprint tech support and they don't know what is causing it or so they say.

I really notice it the most when I am in an area where I only have 1 bar of service and it wants to flip back and forth between Sprint and the roaming network. Such as where I work.


Hi- I hope this thread gets back on track- I have the exact same issue and it is annoying as heck. I have samsung galaxy S3 on sprint running 4.1.1.

i have unlimited plan. i could care less when I roam. I need to be able to roam both voice and data. whenever i travel to a spot with crappy sprint service and WANT to roam (but don't want to hear about it) this happens. the box will uncheck itself over and over and over. both voice guard and roam guards pop up all the time. no matter how often i select otherwise.

anyone ever going to fix this one???

LOL LOL LOL LOL Awesome. I couldn't have said it better!
 
I just started having this problem a couple of days ago on my Samsung Galaxy Stellar. The roaming notice pops up when I travel the seven miles into town. There is plenty of cell coverage and Verizon is my carrier. So far I haven't had it pop up at home on WiFi.

My phone doesn't have any of the settings mentioned above - no Roam Guard, or any setting at all that even mentions roaming. I clear it, but every time I go into town it pops back up again.
