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

[ohiowa]

Here's a dumb question...

Can anyone explain to me why this problem doesn't exist on Verizon's stock ROMs, and why there isn't some setting buried somewhere in the Stock ROMs that can simply be ported to the aftermarket custom ROMs to solve the issue?

That's a very smart question! The Custom ROM Kitchens use bits and pieces of software and device drivers from other carriers stock ROMs and even some software (Manila) from other phones. If we knew exactly what software/driver/whatever that was generating the pop-up, we'd have the problem solve.

What really complicates troubleshooting is the following:
* Reports that after flashing between different ROMs, the pop-up stops appearing and doesn't come back, even when flashing again.
* Reports that a particular Custom ROM doesn't have the pop-up for one user, but someone else reports the same ROM does have the pop-up.
* The fact that the pop-up only appears when the phone is roaming on "Extended Network" and due to the configuration of the Verizon PRL ("preferred only flag is set"), users in strong Verizon markets (like NYC for example), never roam so they never see the pop-up. So most VZW customers never see "Extended Network". Only the few that live or travel to rural areas with smaller carriers like US Cellular.

Well this is a first for me, last night I flashed Calkulin's new 1.4 23518 2.5 manila. Guess what NO popup while I was in extended network today!

Honestly I dont know either to be happy or not, as this is the first time iv flashed a custom rom that had no popup and dont know if I just got lucky or what. I did nothing different then my normal flashing ritual either (flash from laptop/hardreset via hardware keys/*228 opt 1 after phone sets up).

Edit: Radio is VZW_2.23_WV, prl 51730, where do I find the eri for you?

Thanks for all your work on this problem!!

Current Rom : ║MightyROM.com║ ║Windows Phone®║ ║Sense UI║ ║01.09.2010║
Windows Build Version : ?
PRL Version : 65084m
ERI Version : ?
Radio : Stock

I run MightyROM without the error now. Part of the problem is there are STILL some lingering issues about CDMA network service. When you flash MightyROM (and a couple other custom ROM's I'd wager) go to Phone Options and CDMA service and look to see what's selected. Verizon specific settings are "Automatic A" or "Automatic B". In my area, the phones are set to automatic B. I suspect this setting is applied to the stock VZW rom when you program your phone with *228, but it doesn't happen on the custom ROM's.

In any case the default was still this "Standard" setting. On my TP2, changing it from Standard to auto B solved the issue.

The manual PRL update technique in this thread works well. I am ALWAYS in extended network (moved from Richmond to Mayberry) and so this issue is very close to home for me...so to speak.

With the stock rom and a *228 I get
3g service and no popup

With a custom rom and a *228 I get
1x Service and a popup

With a custom rom and an older PRL manual update (5xxxxx) I get
1x Service and no Popup

My current settings:
With a custom rom and the newest (6xxxxx) PRL I get
Ev service and no pop up

So I have settled to do the manual prl with MightyRom.

Installed the fix and have had no popups since. Works for me!

I tried Auto B with the current unmodified official PRL from *228 and still get the pop-up with MightyROM. Very confusing...

Sorry to sound like a broke record but have you seen the "Extended Network" banner on the screen and have an active or dormant data connection for at least a minute?

Yesterday i flashed 4 different ROM's all but Calkulin 1.4 gave me the popup, but i was unable to make a call with that ROM (data worked fine).
Juciy v8
Mighty ROM 1-13-09
Energy
All gave me the popup.

Now i am back on MightyROM 1-13 and used the custom prl from here and everything is working fine. I have the new verizon radio.

So i installed this fix and it works great. the only thing i now notice (may not be related) but my phone will not connect to palringo. It just keeps saying reconnect pending and than tries again. My data is working fine but this app stopped working. I have tried reinstalling and retyping in the password. Anybody have any ideas?

after i did the *228 and pushed 2 my palringo is now working. I am going to see if i now get the voice only errors.

The message came back after i did a *228 #2 but my Palringo is now working. Any ideas?
