A number of people have problems with their Nexus 5X roaming on CDMA when using Project Fi.
This issue occurs in areas of weak/no cell coverage for Sprint. The device simply will not roam on CDMA. At the same location it has been reported that the 6 and 6P roam with no problems so the issue seems to be with the 5X only.
When Project Fi activates it removes the options for Settings>Wireless & Networks>More>Cellular networks. The only options that show up are for data roaming.
Without this option available the there is no way to view System Select and change roaming mode from Home to Automatic. So.....the phone will not roam.
I have found a partial solution but it is far from perfect. It involves editting one word in one line of code in an android manifest file.
