Don't know if this has been posted before or not sorry if it has, I will not retype the post but here is the link: http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472011
Is it possible to make a program that when you click on it it changes the reg value to be able to switch to Roam Only and Back? I have no knowledge of doing this so I am asking
Thank you
What's wrong with choosing it from the Phone Settings menu (comm manager)? It's a few steps, but usually only takes me a few seconds.

That allows roaming (if I understand the setting you are referring to) not forced Roaming, I live in a area where there is a hint of Sprint Signal there is a 5 bar presence from US Cellular but my handset keeps jumping to Sprint I miss calls etc
My Palm 800W had a setting that would select Roam Only since it appears that we know which reg entry that needs modified I was hoping someone with software skills (not me) could write a small app.
found this over on ppcgeeks somewhere

Sorry, what I was talking about is after doing the hack and you have the Roaming Only ability, what's wrong with just choosing it from the Comm Manager settings dialog?
I actually switch from Sprint Only to Roaming Only on a regular basis, I've gotten very quick at making the change because I am used to to doing it.

What exactly does the CAB do? On the Sprint Touch Pro, its a single registry change. Is this CAB for other phones like the Verizon version or does it do something else as well? Just curious.
it creates the option in settings\phone\roaming for you to select roam only rather than going in and editing code. makes enabling and disabling easy.

Oh, so it does the registry hack only? So a more friendly install for those not comfortable messing with the registry?
Exactly. I've done the mod several times on different devices. My home in Michigan is a Sprint dead zone. It teeters on Sprint and roaming all the time. When I came back this time I noticed my Roam Only option was gone. There must have been an OTA update that changed it back to my surprise.
Well this time I just used a cab and plan to use it on my wife's Diamond. Much quicker.
anyone know if sprint phones can roam on ATT towers? when i visit my parents there is a sprint tower 2 miles away and even when forcing roam i get no service. they all have full service on their ATT phones. that was the reason i installed this cab but either it does not work or i cannot use ATT towers.
Tom,
No you cannot roam on ATT. Its different technology. GSM vs. CDMA.
You can roam on VZW and Alltell etc.

Force roaming only on a Verizon touch pro 2
Dont get me wrong, Verizon Coverage is unbeatable, but I plan to live in Tijuana Mexico so that I can save some money on rent. The problem is that my phone (and every other phone I had) tries so hard to find verizon signal with no success as obviously there is no vzw towers in Mexico (only partner towers). On the phone menu there is only home only, automatic A, and automatic B. I need a hack so that I can have a "roaming networks only" so that I can freely use my phone without it switching automatically to a 1x one bar or zero bars. How can I do this??
I just got the data plan, finally, and I am one of the many noobs that didn't read any instructions and went ahead and flashed without writing down all that useful EPST info. I have gotten "a" data connection, but it seems to be terrible, and I know it supposed to be much better.
My question is, is there any difference in a "dial-up" connection and a higher speed connection in terms of icons. It shows that I am in an EVDO coverage area, but under connections it shows a dial up connection.
I never used the data on the mogul before, so I'm not sure if I need to call Sprint Customer Service, or just deal with their crappy data in my area.
Thanks for the help
You should have an "Ev" icon at the top somewhere as far as I know.
Telling us what ROM and radio you flashed might help us help you.
Make sure it still says EV at the top when you are online, if the EV changes to a 1X then something is wrong with your configuration.

sorry, i'm running reloaded 4, which i believe is dcd 3.2.6 with the touchFlo 2D.
sorry, i'm running reloaded 4, which i believe is dcd 3.2.6 with the touchFlo 2D. I have the EV symbol, i just wanted to know if it should say I have a dial up connection as well whenever I'm using data or if that is the wrong one.
thanks for your help

Did you install the carrier cab? If not, it would make your data connection not work.
EVDO dials up just like 1X, it is just able to connect at a faster speed.

yeah i installed the newest one, august 08 i believe, and got EPST to work so I could make changes, and i get a data connection, its just terrible.
well i took it to a sprint guy i know, and he had a tech look at it. the verdict he had was that my "downloaded software" was causing it to slow down. i just laughed and said thanks. his idea of downloaded software was my ROM, and i cannot believe that dcd has created a ROM that slows down internet connections.
any ideas?
Edit:
eek, double post
i did the same thing.. flashed without writing down the EvDo password (known as the HDR AN AUTH LONG password in EPST.
The method to extract your EvDo password is to use CDMA Workshop to do a memory dump and then use a Hex Editor to read the data and obtain a 16 digit hex number which is your EvDo password..
Havent been able to figure this out.. Some programs already have a built in EvDo password reader..
Good luck if you can suss this one out!
1X is approx 150 kB/s download speed
EvDo is around 1500 kB/s download speed
(New Zealand) I'm not sure if it's the same in your area/country
Cheers

I saw that the HDR AN AUTH LONG was all gibberish in the settings, and I was curious if that was supposed to be something. Does anyone know if that's something that Sprint should be able to give me, or am I going to have to just wait and have an "accident" with this phone?
No idea, I get about 100-300kbps over EVDO though.
evdo
you could try running your carrier cab again (after deleting the existing modem connection for data). Verify that it is not weak signal by going somewhere with a known good evdo signal
Just curious... I have the Ev for data... but when I place a call, it changes to 1X.. Is this normal?

Yes. Just FYI the Data will not work while you are in a call unless you have WiFi turned on.
well, because its useful to others who might be in the same boat, I will continue replying, but I figure out another way to get data, and that was to get sprint to change my mogul into a touch pro...
I have run the carrier cab a couple of times now, and its verified that i have the crappy data, but i can't figure out how to get the HDR AN PASSWORD (Long) other than to do a dump, and i don't think i'm gonna go thru that trouble since i send the thing back tomorrow.

I have the same thing happen to me always, I will have full bars in EV, but when I make a call, it switches to 1X. This is the same for data.

The Ev means that youre in an area that has EvDo mobile broadband capability. When you make a phone call, that will always change to 1X because phone calls run via the 1XRTT network.
When you connect to the net, your phone will try firstly to connect to the EvDo mobile broadband network but because you dont have the correct EvDo password (HDR AN AUTH LONG password) it will instead drop down to the 1XRTT network.
I ended up getting a second hand Titan and made sure i wrote down the EvDo password before upgrading and flashing. So now when i hit the net, it doesnt go to 1X. The Ev icon stays the same which verifies that im on the EvDo broadband network instead of the 1XRTT network.
While connected to the EvDo mobile broadband network, you can still receive calls, texts. On the 1xRTT mobile broadband network, you wont be able to receive calls or texts.
Hope this clarifies things.
Hi there,
I have searched and searched but I can't find anything. I know it's an unusual request but is there an app (or even some simple built-in functionality or a reg tweak) that allows you to enable all data roaming on the HTC?
The reason for this is that, in UK T-Mo and Orange are now network sharing. I am on T-Mobile but when my reception is low the service switches to Orange.
Problem is that my phone thinks it is roaming when it switches to Orange and this messes with my data services. I cannot figure out which of those services are set to disable data in roaming aas I'm not sure where to look.
I'd be happy to set all of my apps to download while roaming as I have NoDataInRoam installed for when I go abroad. The rest of the time I do want to download data when 'roaming'!!
Any help anyone? I know it seems dumb, sorry.
AdLoki
Have a look in the settings tab in sense, there is an option for Data Services. Go to each service you use and enable the check box Download When Roaming. Hope this helps.
I'm a total noob at this but please cut me some slack.
I'm running the WTSB Hydro V2.4 ROM on my Evo 3D, Hboot 1.5, Sense 3.5
I live in a National Forest for my occupation and I'm roaming a lot but this rom wont allow data roaming for me. I can still call and send texts but the data refuses to turn on when roaming. It also displays my carrier on my lock screen and notification bar as "31000"
I did some research but I cant seem find a way to fix it in a manner that I would understand.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Any help is appreciated! :]
Id use the 00001 Verizon PRL, but don't go overboard on it and use it 24/7

Sorry for the noob [Q] but how do we get the verizon PRL?
I would just switch roms, if they dont have data roaming in settings thats kinda sucks. I recomend miui.
When I was running Warm 2.3 Sense 3.5 beta, in the Roaming part of the menu there is a check box for data roaming. it was unchecked by default. perhaps you just need to go into that menu and check the box?
Is anyone able to force roam to Verizon their Photon? I cant get roam control to work at all it grants SU permissions and never does anything.. And ive tried going to settings-wireless and networks-mobile networks-sytem select- and tried to change from automatic to "Affiliated Networks" but it wont let me select it. It closes the menu and as soon as i open it is shows Automatic again. This is on CM7 btw. Is there any way to force roam with my Photon?? It would really help a TON as im spending the weekend in an area with terrible Sprint service.
You should probably dig around for the Verizon prl which I believe is 11115. Only problem with that is too much roaming will get you kicked off sprint. Its around here some where if I find the prl ill come back and post it.

not sure if this will work or not, but this is how i changed mine to automatic (since i don't have a SIM card and couldn't change it from the wireless/networks screen)
1. go to dialer
2. type in *#*#4636#*#*
3. navigate to phone information
4. scroll down to 'set preferred network type'
once again, i haven't tried this for roaming and such...
I tried to flash that PRL a while ago, but couldnt get QPST or whatever program was needed to read my phone for some reason. The PRL doesn't really help if i cant make my phone roam when i want it to, for what im trying to do atleast. I want to be able to manually tell my Photon to switch to roaming when I decide it may be better off on Verizons network. I eventually gave up on trying to get that PRL loaded since i cant manually tell my phone when to roam and when not to. Thats what im asking now, is there a way for me to manually select and force it to roam? That dialer menu doesn't allow me to choose roaming or not, just CDMA GSM and that, not to actually force it into roaming. Thanks though!
Get Roam Control. It's been pulled from market but it's on there web site Google it.

Is there a way to license it?
you may also want to check with mrwrx here on xda - he's done a lot of developing for forced roaming. good guy.

if you're rooted try this option out. it will allow you to force roam (verizon) when you select automatic in the settings. home only works as normal.

You shouldn't get charged for roaming, BUT roaming is limited and you will get warned and then kicked from Sprint if you go over. I have seen posts in other forums where this has happened to people. I can't remember for sure, but I seem to remember that this happened to the creator of roam control and he warned others about it...
