Data roaming - O2/EPlus

[Freddy_de_Vries]

Hey there,

so for me this idea for help doesn’t work. I still see the roaming sign and whenever I wanna call somebody I have to check a message that I am roaming and that there might be high costs.
So what can I do?
Or is it a matter of time that O2 and EPlus are working on it, and I just have to wait?

Thanks for any help,
Freddy

Continuing the discussion from Falsche Roaming - Warnung in Deutschland seit April 2015 [Wiki]:

@Stefan

Hey!

Offenbar wurden die Netze von O2 und E-Plus zusammengelegt, was bei folgenden Fairphone-Besitzern (FP1 / FP1U) eine Roaming-Warnung verursacht:

• Fairphone-Benutzer, die eine SIM-Karte von O2 oder E-Plus haben
• Fairphone-Benutzer, die eine SIM von einem MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) haben, der das Netz von O2 oder E-Plus benutzt.

Die Roaming-Warnung kann innerhalb Deutschlands ignoriert (bzw. deaktiviert) werden, da dafür keine weiteren Kosten anfallen. Achtung bei Reisen ins Ausland oder Aufenthalten in grenznahen Gebieten, in denen das ausländische Netz stärker ist!

###Lösung

(Short translation) Apparantly the networks of German network operators O2 and E-Plus were joined, which leads to a wrong roaming notification on the Fairphone (FP1 / FP1U).

Maybe this helps you. Not a lot of persons have verified this though. Could you try it?

@michele

I had the same problem in Germany, didn’t want to switch roaming on, went to an O2 shop, didn’t get any help, BUT after a bit of digging I found the solution: just install gravitybox (a xposed module) go to phone tweaks and check national roaming. This way you don’t have to switch on standard roaming and you are able to use both networks, O2 and Eplus.

Link added by me.

Hi @Justus,

Did you read the post above about Gravity Box? @Michele updated the Wiki Post Falsche Roaming-Warnung and I deleted the other solution as it was confirmed by others, that checking “National Roaming” in GravityBox works.

So far, the GravityBox app does not work. I could install it but it does
not load properly and breaks down afterwards. I installed it from the
webpage, is there maybe another way to download the APP?

[paulakreuzer]

You have to first install Xposed!
I’d suggest you do the following:

• uninstall GravityBox
• install Xposed
• reboot
• open Xposed Installed go to downloads and find GravityBox [JB] there. Install it.x
• reboot again.
• now you can use GravityBo

Hey all,

I installed the exposed module and then the gravity box app and in the end it all worked out!

Thanks for the help!

This forum really always helps…so far.

Glad all worked out for you in the end.
