The roaming notification

**codeda** · 07-02-2012, 09:33 AM

mine does the same and it is driving me crazy. Hopefully someone can answer.

**bdmridgback** · 07-02-2012, 10:32 AM

Called sprint they told me to take it in to store. I bought my phone at best buy so I took it there and they reset it and still same problem. Best buy did say if that didn't fix problem they would give me a new gs3

any one try settings/more settings/roaming/roaming guard/and uncheck domestic.

**tbing13** · 07-02-2012, 06:57 PM

Yes have tried all of those

**bdmridgback** · 07-03-2012, 10:02 AM

driving me nuts... still can't get it to stop. When I leave area of my Airave it dings, when I come back it dings, when it roams it dings, when it stops roaming it dings!!!!

Can't turn it off!

Agreed, this is really really annoying. You have to manually clear out the notification every time also, it won't even go away when you have returned to Sprint coverage. I roam almost every day at some point, (thanks to Sprints crappy coverage) and this is getting old fast!

Mine doesn't show a notification to clear out. It just dings, nothing to clear.

another thing I can't figure out how to turn off... When I get a text, when I pick my phone up off the table/desk it vibrates just to let me know I have a new notification just in case I just stick my phone in my pocket without looking. I'd rather save that battery power, but can't turn it off.

How about turning off the system sounds in the sound setting. I roam fairly often and have never heard it.

That's in "Settings --> Motion --->Smart alert" Disable it and it will stop.

Mine was turned on, so I turned it off and I will see what it brings over the next few hours.
Thanks!

Here's what I'm trying: all roaming on, all roaming guard off. So far, so good.

**AdamBv1** · 07-05-2012, 11:08 AM

I tried PRL and profile updates as well as every possible combination of roaming settings and always had this pop up randomly. The confusing part is I have very good coverage everywhere I go around here so I'm not sure why it ever went roaming in the first place. I know my old Epic would not roam in the same areas.

I ended up just setting the roaming network to sprint only for now to stop the messages from showing up, I will just change it if I really end up in an area I need roaming.

**codeda** · 07-05-2012, 11:47 AM

good to know I'm not the only person that is having this issue. I've tried turning everything imaginable off, and still no help. I call it "the Phantom notification". I'm pretty sure it does it whenever, not only when I'm roaming.

**gmdphd** · 07-05-2012, 12:14 PM

You need to turn off the "Smart alert". Go to Settings->Motion->and turn off Smart alert. That will stop the phone from vibrating whenever you get a new text and then pick up the phone.

My wife was getting this same thing on her's Tuesday night, but I wasn't for some reason.. She was also bouncing between roaming/3g/no service in the area we were (and I wasn't.. I was showing weak 3g coverage).. It was very strange.. We'll have to check again when we go down to that area we were at and see how it goes..

**lenny911** · 07-05-2012, 12:24 PM

Go to More Settings, Roaming, Roaming Network, then Sprint Only.

**tbing13** · 07-05-2012, 07:15 PM

I have tried everything but putting phone on sprint only and still having the same problem.

**codeda** · 07-05-2012, 08:16 PM

well I just put it on sprint only so let's see what happens now.

**fairladyorchid** · 08-16-2012, 06:32 PM

it was actually pretty easy to fix. i know i am getting mine a month later but we permanently roam. go to settings-more settings-roaming-roaming guard. un-check all the boxes and the notices will stop.

Yes... You are correct. The boxes should be unchecked. I have never gotten a warning about roaming.

**GadgetMedic** · 08-18-2012, 12:07 PM

All my roaming guards are off, but I still get the message CONSTANTLY, no sound, just a triangle in the notification bar that says I was on Data roaming. It's a pain in the ARSE. I live in a rural area and I am constantly going in and out of Roam, so I cannot pick "Sprint Only" or my phone doesn't get any data.
