Wanted: One touch switch from Sprint Only to Automatic Roaming - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

Hey all. I use the old cycleBT utility to turn BT on and off constantly. I am looking for a utility that could sit in the start menu as a single program that would change my roaming settings from Sprint Only to Automatic, etc.
Has anyone come across such a utility. If not, is this something that could be done in Mortscript? Could anyone take a stab at it?
Thanks,
Josh
PS-I want to have this to save battery life and turn on roaming easily only when there is no signal at all. I work in a hospital and there is NO cell service in the basement and then I get one bar roaming and then back to sprint, etc...and it fries the battery

i too would like to request such a feature

I am not a programmer, but I have dabbled a little with mortscript. I was tweaking TalynOne's GPS script. I noticed that he made some registry edits, which worked well for changing battery and backlight timeouts. I don't have time to figure it out now, but if I did, I would start by getting cregedit (http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/?lang=en) and saving a copy of my registry. I would then change the setting to the other one, and compare the current registry to the saved registry. This would show me what key(s) were changed by changing the setting. I would then go about learning how to write a mortscript to change the registry settings. This is the hard part for me but I'm sure it's elementary for the programmers. There are lots of examples on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289197
EDIT: dcd is right, no setting in registry. I'm out of ideas.

i believe that changing the setting sends a command to the radio. notice this setting survives a hard reset? my guess is that you will not find a setting in the registry. need to find a way of scripting epst or sending the command to the radio.

I hope this isn't too terribly off topic, but I really don't want to try this and incur a huge bill.
Does sprint still charge for roaming? Or is that a thing of the past? I remember accidentally making a couple roam calls not not seeing anything on my bill but I don't stay on the phone long to begin with sooooo....yeah.
I guess the main point I'm trying to get to is, are there any negative consequences for making roaming calls?

It is off topic, but it doesn't bother me. Hopefully won't bother others. I have gotten several bills over last 6 months with roaming calls. They reimbursed me because it's included in our plan. I would disable it on the phone and call them and see if they can disable it. If so, then then they will flag your account so if you get roaming charges, they can easily reimburse you.

Try this script - One Touch Toggle
You must have mortscript installed on your ppc in order for the script to work.
There will be two files in this zip.
1. Roaming Shortcut.lnk
2. Roaming Selection.mscr
Place the roaming shortcut.lnk in your \windows directory of pocket pc.
Place the roaming selection.mscr anywhere on your phone. You can tie it to a button if you place it under \Windows\start menu\programs
Run the roaming selection.mscr. It will aks you which of the 4 you would prefer Roaming, Sprint Only, Automatic or Toggle
It will default to Toggle if the time runs out.
Once you make your choice it will open the phone settings by use of the roaming shortcut.lnk.
It will then choose roaming and then it will pick the correct roaming selection and then exit out of both of the phone settings windows.
Before Toggle can be used you must first either select Roaming or Automatic.. from that point on the Toggle selection will go from either
Roaming or Automatic by itself.

Nice script. Great idea. It doesn't work for my Diamond because the screen mappings are for QVGA. I'm currently using your shortcut to at least save a few steps.
I looked at your script, and the Mortscript commands. I think it's a simple matter of remapping the mouse clicks for VGA. How does one go about determing the x and y locations on the screen?
Thanks!

Instead of trying to determine x and y locations, you could just give it commands to go up/down/left/right/center on the d-pad.

All credits go to andason. I took his script and modified it to work with VGA. I remapped the screen coordinates and change the wait time on each action. I found the wait time did not need to be so long.
To use w/ VGA:
Download andason's zip, install as instructed, download my VGA script and replace his with mine. You will still need the .lnk file.
prerequsite:
You must have roaming enabled. If you do not, follow this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSetting
1) Change ItemCount to 3
2) Create new string (if doesn't exist): ItemName3 = Roaming. (Default = Automatic-B on my Diamond)
3) New Dword: ItemValue3 = 3
Soft reset. Go back to the settings you should now see roaming option.
Enjoy...

I've attached a modified VGA roaming script that simply toggles between Roaming and Automatic without showing the Mortscript choice menu. I have it mapped to a softkey so I can quickly toggle between the two.

andason or snowman,
Installing the zipped files as well as mortscript I get only as far as the Settings menu. I then have to manually toggle to Roaming, Settings and make the change. I made sure to insert the shortcuts file to the windows directory and the .mscr file to the programs folder so that I could shortcut to a button. Any ideas as to why it will not complete the toggle for me. Thanks in advance,
Gordon

I've been looking for something I can put in my startup folder to run when the phone boots to do the opposite. If I change my phone from "Automatic" to "Home Only" as soon as I even soft reset the setting is changed back.
Just recently called Telus to have them remove the roaming data charges ($32 for 4mb!) I got when I was near the border (didn't even cross). The person tried to look into a way to permanently disable roaming and after talking with their data department she said it was impossible and then tried to tell me I should get a BlackBerry.
I'll have to try some of the stuff in this thread later tonight.

keeping verizon evdo connection active?

is there a way to keep the verizon evdo connection active all the time? it seems to time out the Dun when its not being used, and this is adverse for me as i try to have my aim client on my phone on all the time and it disconnects me and i have to reconnect it again, at which time it redials again.
any suggestions?
forgot to mention, i have
dcd 3.2
and radio 3.4 somthing something
and a verizon xv6800
I would also like to know how to do this and I have sprint.
gb-soft tweak used to be the way to fix it -- doesn't do the trick anymore.
Thanks

forgive me if you've already tried this
go to settings>phone>services
scroll down to 'Mode of Operation'
click 'Get Settings'
select 'EVDO only' instead of 'Hybrid'
dont have " scroll down to 'Mode of Operation' "
so I'm going to look for the registry setting to turn it on now.. any fast posting appreciated..

which rom to use

Ok so now since I no longer have my ipaq 4700.... im loving my mogul.
I do however have the latest srpint rom and dont mind it....
the only question I have is this...
I do not have a dataplan and when I use the internal gps and or messenger....the unit constantly dials out to #777. I called sprint and they disabled HAI or HIA or something like that so they said my internet is disabled...
I just get tired of the constand dial out, failed to connect messages..
which rom would be the best for just getting this to go away....in a tweak somewhere I read that there was a reg key to set to not dial out and I did that... also it said go into manage connections and add a user name. However everytime I do that the name gets removed.
any suggestions?
THanks
Jeff
I don't think any rom would fix that problem, cause the vast majority of users use data plans.
I believe the gps dialout is a reslt of the assisted gps capabilities. I recently disabled this in my wife's sprint touch by altering this key:
HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS
I changed both the 'enableAGPS' and 'enableGPSSmartMode' from 1 to 0. I remember which of the two fixed the problem. Probably just the first is necessary. You'll probably need a soft reset.
To get rid of the dialing out completely, you can go to settings\connections\connections\manage existing connections and then delete the sprint. Of course sprint makes it come back, so you'll need to delete the htc_cm_guardian.exe file from your startup items. I am pretty sure that will work. What ends up happening is you get an error when you try and connect to the internet. I'm not sure that's any better than trying to dial out, but at least you know sprint won't screw up your bill (they do a pretty good job of reimbursing for these when they screw up).
guess im batting a 1000....
I already had both keys set to 0
also I do not have that exe in my startup so cant removeit...
oh well...
Try going into your Connections setting and deleting the #777 profile - it shouldnt dial out after that.

Force 1X Only

I'm thinking of getting a Verizon Touch Pro when it's available.
Right now, my battery life on my Motorola Q is terrible. I live in an area where the signal is pretty poor and I think that's the main reason for the bad battery life.
If I go into the "secret" settings on the Q, I can change it to CDMA Only and that disables EvDO and probably gives me at least a 50% increase in battery life.
Unfortunately, it's pretty much of a PITA to go back and forth.
So, if I get a Touch Pro, I guess I have to hope that it's better at picking up a signal (probably not, right?) or that there's some way to put it into CDMA Only mode.
Does anyone know, for sure, that'll be possible?
Now, if that's possible, does a program already exists or could someone easily just write a program that would give me a program icon that if I click it, it toggles the phone between CDMA Only and Automatic? I'm thinking something like the nodata program that I've used before, but even better would be just click on the icon to toggle and no submenus to go through.
I know on the Q when I change back and forth, the change is immediate (Ev icon turns to 1x and vice versa as soon as I make the change), so if I had an icon to just make the change for me without digging through 4 menus to make a change, I might be able to live with just activating EvDO when I'm going to use it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thoughts?

I just upgraded from a q, i havent recieved my htc yet so ill try and help with your q problem.
First and foremost never ever let the battery run down. My q worked fine for a year and a half until tuesday the battery ran down and i got this
Anyway, make sure its not going out and checking your email every 1,5,10,15 minutes etc. That really kills the battery fast. Bluetooth too. When I disabled those i saw my battery life skyrocket, but it still went down pretty fast when i used the internet and camera. maybe those two things will help you in the interim though.
you think your moto q battery is bad wait til you get to the your touch pro. i forced my touch pro (data speeds sucked big ones) to 1x by going to settings phone and roaming i set it to roaming only? but that is a sprint version i dont know if verzion allows you to pick roaming only
benitojuarez, I appreciate it, but it's none of that. The reason for the bad battery life on the Q is that the signal is low and it's fluctuating between 1x and EvDO. When I set it to 1x only, the battery life is fine.
cjmedina, yes, I'm worried about that.
That's why I'm here. I'm still hoping someone could come up (either it exists already or someone could make it) with a little utility that when clicked would toggle between 1x (CDMA Only) and Automatic modes. I think I could live with that.
I can't imagine that'd be too difficult. You can force 1x on your Sprint, I can force 1x on my Q. The change takes effect immediately. There's got to be an easy way to program it to happen.
It sounds like you might benefit from this type of program as well. I know on my Q, I rarely switch back from 1x only, just because it's about a multi step process that's a slight PITA to make the change. If I had a one step process, I could leave it as 1x while it's just sitting around and quickly change it to EvDO when I want to use the net. At least that's how I envision it.
Lastly, I'm not certain that my Q hasn't just been defective for 2 years now. I even have the 2100mah Seidio battery and if i leave it as Automatic, I pretty much can't get a full day out of it. If I set it to 1x, I can make it though the day unless I use it real heavily.
I'm worried that unless the TP has a better radio, I might not even make it though the day on 1x only mode. I guess we'll see what happens.
Is there anyone who can assist here?
I can't imagine this is something too difficult. Everyone phone I've had so far allows it to be put into a 1x only mode.
With the work all of you guys do customizing, someone must have a good handle on what needs to be changed to put the phone into 1x mode.
Am I in the right place or should I have posted this in a different forum?
Well, hopefully, someone can come up with something...or point me to something that already exists.
Thanks!

I didn't come up with it but I have tested and it works like a charm.
To do this, you will need your MSL number, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you.
1) Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST).
2) You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone.
3) From the top left, select Modem Settings
4) Preferred Mode: The Default is Automatic, which is the best available mode (EV that will roll back to 1X when EV is unavailable). There are times when you might be in a fringe area and your mode may cycle frequently and this can seriously drain your battery. Setting this to HDR will force EV-DO only if you demand an EV-DO connection. Changing this setting to CDMA Only will force the phone to ignore an EV-DO tower and maintain only a 1xRTT connection.
*Change your "Slot Cycle" while you are on this page to one so your phone polls towers every 2 sec instead of 5 sec. I did know about this trick but did not know the force 1xRTT was one of the setting on the same page.
here is the cab for roaming only un zip and install
mrrogers1, I appreciate the response, but, first of all I'm on Verizon.
On my Q, I can do ##*, go into the "secret" menu, to to the option to change it to CDMA only, save it and back out.
It's just too long a process to really do it frequently, so I just wind up leaving my phone in 1x mode and that stinks.
So, what I was looking for is just a program to install that would activate/deactivate that option by just clicking the program icon.
cjmedina, before I install that, can you tell me exactly what that is? Is it for Verizon? What do you mean by roaming only? I want 1x/CDMA only. Will it just disable roaming or is it a toggle thing? I don't want to risk installing something that's not easily reversible.
Roam only wouldn't really address this because if you (at least for me) roam in EVDO coverage the phone stays in that mode. Forcing 1x is something different all together.
Changing in the modem settings is it for now and works well.
I went from a 9c to a Diamond. Maybe the TP is much different but my Diamond signal strength is a little lower than my 9c.
Combine that with the Diamond/TP already bad heat issues, battery life I don't think you'll be happy with it.
Just go to reg and mimic these keys.. It will enable the ability to switch it on and off in the settings panel.

What would be really neat is an app that would force 1x unless you were in certain applications (like opera or you tube) and than switch to hybrid for the duration of the session.

That script is probably the best option. Otherwise there's a registry key that enables the menu option, though I can't remember where it is. Verizon usually has the option disabled so the key needs to be added to the registry.
So I found through the Advanced Config a way to add a 3G on off button in the comm manager, but as we are CDMA it does not work for us. Can anyone confirm what this button is trying to do? Perhaps a redirect to the reg setting for hybrid/1x?

I know you noted that it wasn't your idea, but maan, did it work. Thank you so much. that was the last step I needed for my HTC Touch PRO to work on MetroPCS web... this is the easiest method (rather them editing registry)!! Thank you much.
Has anyone made this work on a Verizon HTC Touch Pro2?
My extended battery lasts about 12 hours (EVDO 0-1 bars in buildings) and I think this could help me.
The *-something and #-something numbers place a call that says invalid number. The registry edits don't make anything for Mode of Operation appear under "CDMA Services" on Phone Settings.

[Q] Signal Bar Mod

Does anyone know a signal bar mod that removes all signal bats so I only have the 3g signal?in my school everything but phones is allowed so ,I wanna be able to use my phone.
Please,do not say something dumb like, well why don't you turn airplane mode on?
I'm running gingeritis 3d beta VIII
I'm assuming that, contrary to your description, you don't just want to "remove the signal bars" since that would just be a visual change.
As best I can tell you want to still have 3g data without phone? In that case you would just set your preferred network to "EVDO only" either through Settings->Wireless&Networks->Mobile Networks->Network Mode (use this method if your rom has this menu) or opening your dialer and dialing *#*#4636#*#* -> phone info -> prefered network.

Hmm...so it was just a visual change you wanted. Guess I missunderstood.
Well, overlooking that you feel the authority in your school will believe it isn't a phone just because there aren't little bars up there (and btw, if they buy that you might want to consider transferring schools )...
Use Ninjamorph (or look up how to manually theme apks if you want to do it from a computer) to remove the corresponding image files and/or edit the xmls of the appropriate apks (which apks will depend on the rom and I'm not personally familiar with Gingeritis much less your specific release but I'd look for SystemUI.apk in /system/app first). I'm not completely sure if this will fall back onto some defaults or not but it's easy to test.
If just removing the files doesn't work, you could always just replace all the images you want with a replacement clear filler image so that all you see is the statusbar.
Either way, you may want to do a little reading up on theming apks so you have an idea of what to look for (i.e. res/drawable-hdpi where the images are located and how to edit them)
Maybe I should make a TMo theme for this...lol
I actually don't have much time right now or I'd give you more details (or at least check #1). But IMHO, it's better to learn this stuff than be told anyway. If you need more help, I'm sure there are themers out there that will help you further.

[Q] Enable Data Roaming without using the Settings menu?

I use my phone daily in a non-Verizon network, so having Data Roaming enabled is very important for me. The new ROM I installed, however, does not have a menu option for enabling/disabling Data Roaming.
Does anyone know of a way to do this through script? Or maybe there is something that can be changed in "build.prop" (or another file) that would change the default setting of Data Roaming disabled to be enabled?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vuvuzela.roamcontrol&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS52dXZ1emVsYS5yb2FtY29udHJvbCJd
Thank you, but that isn't quite what I'm looking for. It looks like it could possibly work, but I I'm looking for a way to permanently turn the Data Roaming on. I don't care if I need to edit the ROM files before I flash them or if there is some sort of hack I can install/perform after the ROM is running.
Maybe there is a way to install the AOSP or stock version of the component that controls this? Does anyone know what component controls the data roaming?
hmm i dont know how could you achieve this....its a bit more advanced
Still looking for the magic bullet
I'm very interested in this as well.
Does anybody know if the Roam Control app is able to keep Data roaming on at all times? I have not been able to find a trial version to try it out...
Or is there any other way of keeping it on? For a Motorola Droid 3.
I have tried modifying build.prop with many different settings that I have found in other threads but nothing has worked so far. I need to re-enable data roaming manually maybe 20 times a day.
Thanks!
Nobody?
I sent a mail to the author of Roam Control asking if his app is able to do this but still no answer
I finally took the problem in my own hands and managed to make a small app that re-enables data roaming at the touch of a button.
I needs to be installed as a system app for it to work, but it works! :laugh:

I want to permanently enable data roaming but several Google searches have led me to only this thread. I have just downloaded Roaming Control and will tinker with it to see if it solves the issue of the constant nagging data roaming warnings.
I am confused. In my Jellybean settings there's a selection field titled "Show roaming reminder". Even though I have set it to "Never" it still gives a data roaming warning every single time. Either I am misinterpreting the use of that selection field or it's flat out broken or disabled by the carrier.
