My htc one is in roam mode and i want to turn it off.........

Hey Bruce,

Unfortunately most phone providers do not have internet support for roaming areas, contact your phone provider to inquire if they support roaming internet access or not to resolve this issue.

There is no way around this unfortunately, if your phone provider does not have the support for this, then you will not be able to access internet while roaming.

Please let me know if this helps,

Thanks,

I think you can be glad for that. I think your phone is setup for that or your provider does not like you to access the internet while roaming, because this could cost ten times or more than normal

Hi Navya,
You may want to try this steps I have for you resolving your issue on roaming how to remove. Hope it helps.

First, press and hold the Power button for 2-3 seconds. Tap Airplane Mode. Wait for 1 minute. Press and hold Power button again. Select Turn off Airplane Mode. See if your phone will be normally or still get Roaming.

If not, turn off your phone. Turn it back on. Go to Settings->Wireless & Network->Mobile Networks. Tap to UNCHECK Data roaming. See if your phone will work normally.

Please let me know if this answer will work out. If does not work or you have any questions/concerns, do not rate yet! Click on Reply to Expert to reply so we can continue to work on this issue. Thank you!

If the icon is gone As long that you went inside the Mobile Networks settings and UNCHECK the Data Roaming box. That should work fine.

It is probably either going in and out of roaming or loosing and regaing wifi anywhoooo to fix go to menu then settings and then sounds to turn off wifi alert by putting in airplane mode or also u can turn off roaming. in airplane mode u wont get any noise out of phone , just vibrate so u will have to turn it off to hear calls and alerts

This is pretty much what you need to do. Just turn off all the roaming features. However when you roam it typically means you dont have service through Sprint so dont be surprised if when you turn off roaming capabilities your phone doesn't get ANY signal. Here's the link to your phones manual page 112 is about roaming.


Setting Roam Mode
Your phone allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you
can determine which signals your phone accepts.
Choose from two different settings on your phone to
control your roaming experience.
1. Press > Settings > More... > Roaming > Set Mode.
2. Highlight an option and press .
n Sprint Only to access only the Sprint network and
prevent roaming on other networks.
n Automatic to seek service on the Nationwide Sprint
Network. When Sprint service is unavailable, the
phone searches for an alternate service.
Call Guard
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network: the
onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard
makes it easy to manage your roaming by requiring an
extra step before you can place or answer a roaming
call. (This additional step is not required when you make
or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint Network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press > Settings > More... > Roaming >
Call Guard.
2. Select On or Off.
To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the
seven-digit number and press .
2. Read the message and press .
Note Call Guard is turned on by default on yourphone.

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. Press .
2. Read the message and press .
Data Roam Guard
Depending on service availability and roaming
agreements, yourphone may be able to access data
services while roaming on certain other networks. You
can set your phone to alert you when you are roaming
off the Nationwide Sprint Network and try to use data
services such as messaging.
To set your Data Roam Guard notification:
1. Press > Settings > More... > Roaming >
Data Roaming.
2. Highlight an option and press .
n Always Ask (default mode) sets your phone's Data
Roam Guard feature on. You will see a prompt that
will require you to respond anytime you access
data services while roaming.
n NeverAsk turns your phone's Data Roam Guard
feature off. Your phone will not notify you of your
roaming status when you access data services.
Touse data services when Data Roam Guard is active:
© When a notification appears informing you that data
roam charges may apply, press ROAM (left softkey)
to connect.
Note If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to
take extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.

If you go here: http://b2b.vzw.com/international/Roaming/Asia-Pacific/India.html#network you can see that Verizon does have roaming agreements with CDMA providers throughout most of India, so I think your phone will work just fine.

Before you go, you need to dial *611 from your phone and have them activate International Roaming on your account. The rates are available on the link above, and they are quite expensive, so be aware of that before you go.

You should probably also disable Data Roaming on your phone before you go to avoid a massive bill, international data is extremely expensive.

1. Turn off HTC Home Sprint and Today Timeout. Settings -->Today --> Items --> Uncheck Today Timeout and HTC Home Sprint
2. Turn off Activesync. This can be done by closing activesync and going to Settings --> Phone --> Services --> Time synchronization and uncheck time sync. This will stop activesync from starting all the time

3. Turn Roaming to "SPRINT ONLY". Settings --> Phone --> Services --> Roaming --> SPRINT ONLY
Open the Task Manager (top right corner icon), clicked on the “tool” icon, then the “button” tab, and changed the “Enable the X button to end running programs,” selection form “End programs by tapping and holding X” to “End programs by tapping X.” Now, when you tap the “X” to close a program, it actually closes, and frees up more system memory. The same result can be achieved by tapping and holding the “X”, rather than changing the setting, if preferred. The objective is to CLOSE the programs and free up the memory.

Many networks require you to try to send 2 pciture meessages to yourself before you can recieve them. Secondly, make sure you are not roaming, have a good signal, and a data icon is dispalyed in the notification bar. This will look like a G, or E, or 3G with two arrows (one up, one down). If your roaming, or never see a data icon, you may not be able to download the messages until you go to an area with better reception.
