Lost ability to set mobile network HOME ONLY

[shield1561]

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help me. On my Maxx when I was on GB I was able to set the mobile network to Home Only so it would only use verizon and not roam on Canadian Towers as I live very close to the border. When I updated to ICS, I seem to have lost this functionality. Now when I go to try to set it the option is not there anymore. My roam is constantly roaming on Canadian towers and I don't know how to make it stop. Apparently the towers in Canada are strong than the US Verizon towers in my area.

Does anyone know a way to set my phone to not roam anymore? Its not just Data, it roams when sendingText messages sometimes which being able to set "Home Only" didn't allow. I have the Data set to not allow roaming, but my main issue now is text messages and trying to make a call when its roaming and I have to keep waiting until its no longer in roaming mode.

I checked the play store thinking their might be an app that takes care of it, but I can't seem to come up with anything.

Any advice is appreciated!

I should add that it was under the option for "system select." Verizon even still has it on their help page: System Select - DROID RAZR / RAZR MAXX by MOTOROLA but its not an option after the ICS update.

Thanks!

I recall seeing a similar question posted to the Motorola forums:

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that OP received a definitive answer.

Is your mobile network set to Global or LTE/CDMA? I don't know the answer to this, but if you set it to LTE/CDMA, maybe it won't pick up the Canadian towers if those are considered global.

Hi Justin,

Have you resolved this issue? I have the same problem, but on the southern border with the Mexican cell towers. If you are rooted and have installed roms before, try installing Cyanogenmod (CM) 10. There is a setting under mobile networks I think called system/automatic or home only. Choose home only and it will filter out all other cell towers. This worked for me. I just wish there were a setting on touchwiz based roms too. I have been unable to find this setting on any of the Cleanrom roms, which I really like. I have emailed the developer, Scott but haven't heard back from him. He's pretty busy. Does anyone else know anything about how to do this?

Thanks,

Scott.
