The Roaming Symbol "R" is being shown even when not in Roaming - Sony Xperia L

I would advise speaking to your network regarding this as in some cases the network may have a roaming agreement with another network so your handset can roam to their signals/towers when there is not a strong enough signal from the network you are currently using.

Looking at your problem, my guess is that you are using a Docomo SIM. Looks like Xperia L and Docomo doesnt get along well. Try using a different operator SIM, you will certainly not see "R". It is not only "R", with Docomo SIM the Data connection wont be smooth.

I bought this phone today only and i m facing the same issue. I've a  docomo card and its showing roaming even though i'm in my home network only and i m not able to connect to  internet. I'm very disappointed as this my first smartphone and feel  that i wasted my 17000 bucks. Can anyone tell me how to get a replacement of this phone as i bought it online?

please enable data roaming connection on settings menu.....after that you can access internet in roaming. And in india now internet roaming is free. so you can easilly browse internet if you go outside of your circle. so don't worry about the roaming symbol. i am also used the TATA Docomo SIM in many phones and it shows the roaming symbol. but it doesn't matter.

I understand it is an issue. I too faced it but am using Airtel SIM since I have two numbers. Apart from this problem, I see the phone to be very good. It runs swift. It is very decent for its price. The price will even come down further.

exactly same problem here. Xperia L does not detect docomo as home network.

as you said, it doesn't matter ... have not tried the data connection yet.

Does your phone connect to 3g network using your docomo sim???

I am using the Tata docomo SIM and even in the home location roaming symbol is displayed. as i am using the post paid connection i gave a complaint regarding the same, the technical team from docomo verified the status and every thing and told the phone is having the problem not the SIM.

In the above thread Sony team replied saying issue is with the SIM. then here my question is before buying Xperia L, I was using the Sony erricson Neo V ( ICS)  i was using the same SIM card i never saw this issue and even if i put the same SIM in other mobiles like Nokia and Samsung its working fine

Simply giving a statement saying the problem with the SIM card will not help us in any way. i clearly conform that there is an issue from your side.  please provide update so that it will fix the problem or again shamelessly you will the blame on the operator

Having such a big brand name SONY

Without solving the issue releasing the mobiles in to the market making the people to buy and suffer and then blaming the operators is not the right thing

I feel other then the quality the Micromax mobiles are better then sony in software prospective
