VERIZON users on Custom Rom's - annoying voice-only network notification??

Interesting info, so I am going to leave the post, but I do not expect it to help anyone.


Ok. New Theory:

I used to use a Sprint phone on the Verizon network and I used to battle with the constant roaming indicator. That sent me in to QPST on a hunch. I found that the NAM settings are different under custom ROM than stock ROMS.

I compared them line by line using QPST. Once again, I have no way to test, so I am going to need a tester.



Instructions:

1. With your phone on dial ##778 - This launches EPST
2. Put 000000 in as the access code.
3. Select View Info --> NAM Settings
4. Select the last line ACCOLC (Access Overload Class)
5. Select Menu -- Edit
6. Change the value from 9 to 4 (Matches Verizon ROMs)
7. Press OK -- Reset and let me know how it works.

That's weird. Mine is 6.

I'm currently running the 1/10/2010 MightROM.

I bet your phone number ends in a 6. See the red modification to my post. Please ignore my post - I was wrong.

Yeah, I just noticed the edit after I had already submitted.

But no, my number ends in 5.

It's the last digit of your 10-digit MIN which may or not be the same as your MDN (phone number).

I do not think it is going to hurt anyone who wants to try. It is easy to change back and only groups you on a tower with other callers so they can block your phones and prioritize emergency services.
