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 am loveing not having to click that damn popup while at work, one qestion though would it be posable to set all the extrnl networking stuff still set to home and keep the verizon stuff alone? that way you can still tell if your in vzw network or ext (blank in this case). If its not thats ok just a thought .

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.

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.

Nice try but you are right that it has nothing to do with the pop-up. Access Control Class is the last digit of your MIN (to make it random) and assigns priority to your call if the cell network gets overloaded (too many calls at one time). This almost never happens unless something major is going to cause everyone to make calls at the same time like 9/11 in NYC or Katrina in New Orleans.

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

Both ERI versions 4 and 5 have no effect about the pop-up. The only way to stop it I've found is to modify the PRL to never turn on the "Extended Network" roaming indicator.
