Help needed. Getting constant "data roaming off " notifications on my z3c

[Ger_S]

Anyone help me out, searching for an answer for the last few days and no luck.

I've just switched from ios to android recently and I'm away on holidays now and I've switched off my data through the phone settings, but I'm constantly getting notifications every few mins telling me that "data roaming is turned off"
This is melting my head and I've tried to google but can't get an answer.
Some people say it's a bug in kitkat and you need to root your device to turn off the notifications.
I don't want to go down that road, I thought I was free from hassle when I got rid of the iPhone, jailbreaking and all that.

I'm on o2 network running android 4.4.4

Anyone experience this problem too when abroad?

I'm not sure if swapping cards will help you, but I think it's Android stuff. I got those messages on other phones too. I think it would be better if this was "Warning: Data roaming is ON" - then it would mean something. Warning that it may ruin your wallet. And counter, how much data was transferred up/down in roaming only.

I have the same problem and I've had it with my previous Sony smartphone as well. I don't think it has anything to do with the operator. This is a bug in Sony or perhaps Android soft- or hardware and it needs to be fixed as soon as possible because it anoys the **bleep** out of me!

Any updates on this? Is this somehow being reported to the developers?

I'm using the z1, and get the same notfication every 10 seconds, and have no internet as it won't connect, any ideas?

Hi!

I jump right off in this discussion

o2 + E-Plus are together since some time. Just activate Roaming, because your Mobile Phone wants to Jump in two Operator.

Normally this isnt neccessary, can you ask your operator to send you new configuration APN ?

I have exactly the same problem with my Z3 Compact. I have been working abroad over the last 3 months, and usually have data roaming switched off to avoid daily data charges. I received constant notifications on my phone, and really annoyingly on my smartphone, that data roaming is off. I know it's off. I switched it off. I don't want it on. This did not happen with the same Sim in my previous Motorola phone. I just want to switch off the notifications. It is obviously a phone issue.

I have a Z and it's constantly giving me the notification: "Dataroaming is off."

I just feel like throwing the whole phone in the wall and scream 'I KNOW it's off, you dumbsh*t, I turned it off on purpose since I'm abroad!!"

The whole point of turning roaming off is to avoid high bills when you're out of the country. Why would Sony even make it possible to turn it off manually if they then force that notification every two minutes?
