I have to drive about an hour and a half away from where I'm at in order to test this.. I'll probably be headed that way in about a month or so, perhaps earlier. If someone else lives on a fringe area where you roam to different towers and see this message pop up on your device, perhaps you could speak up and Juggalo_X can PM you the ROM?

I have also had this same problem. I am with Verizon, and get the error when I enter US Cellular area's. I'm currently using MightyRom. Would be nice to know what is causing the problem. Phone is a terrible pain to use once this starts happening.

lets put it this way, in my area i roam on bell towers all day long. there isnt a single telus tower here, i live 1.5 hour from any major city or telsu tower. this is why i think the error message is invoked by the radio some how.

Hrm... maybe it has to do with US Cellular... That's where I was roaming and got the problem, and that's where mrvoid was roaming and got the problem.

So the common link is VZW TP2 user with custom ROM, roaming on US Cellular.

I don't want to invalidate the Radio theory, but if that were so why would it not happen on stock ROM? I made the same trip in october with stock ROM and didn't get the message once.. then when I was in the US Cellular area for some time a week or two back and played with the ROM's I confirmed the custom ROM's I tried saw the issue, whereas flashing back to stock ROM fixed it.

"Theres a map for that"
good point i am always on verizon towers!! i have never once roamed in the metro dc area or anywhere down to georgia!!

Here are two other threads about this issue, a couple of fixes are suggested. I travelled over the weekend and as sooon as my phone went to "extended network" I started getting this error and my phone was unusable. I'm on mightyrom. Definitely a verizon issue with custom roms and roaming. I saw a post that the erice rom doesn't have this issue but i didn't try it.

Not so. It shows i'm on verizon and not roaming.

verizon rents most it's towers atleast around here. They are sprint towers. Smack dab in sprint territory with a corp office 7 miles away.

And janko10 has a very good point. You have to be ROAMING in order to see this error. In my case, I was traveling in the boondocks in US Cellular territory.

This is interesting info..

The links from snwbrd below have a couple possibilities.. I will need to play around with Juicy's ROM to see how it does, but it's going to be a few weeks before I'll know if it works.

Also, could someone closer to an affected area volunteer to test Juggalo_X's ROM?

I'll be headed out of verizon coverage, probably next week. If no one has tested by then I would be more than happy to do so. Just let me know.
