Just wondered if anyone else is using the roam control app and how it's working for them. It worked great on my epic 99% of the time but so far no luck on the photon. Running rooted stock with bootloader still locked. SU popup asks for permission twice just like it did on the epic and it passes the license check but it never actually switches to roam.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know about the Photon but I can tell you it doesnt work for the Motorola XPRT.
It is not working for the Photon atm.
Is there anyone that makes a rom that can integrate this? I used to use CM7 on my EVo4G and I was able to set roaming only
On the latest version of Roam control, you can select "other" under phone type...and it will change it over to roaming...but only for a short period of time before it switches back to the strongest signal. So, he's close with it..just needs to figure out how to keep it locked in.
I haven't had any luck with roam control can't wait till it does cause
my patents live in a dead zone and I need roaming.

I emailed the developer (mrgreg) and asked him if he had plans to support the photon in the future because I did a little testing for him when the app first came out to help him support samsung devices. Here is his reply:
Hi, thanks for the email. First off, I do have plans to hopefully support the Photon in the near future...I was hoping to already have a Photon, but I haven't gotten the chance to buy one yet. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks.
Thanks!
Greg

Please don't blow up his inbox with constant requests. He has plans for it, as you can see, and the time will come. I look forward to it working as well.
Hey guys, just wanted to drop a line and say hi. I've been wanting to pick up a Photon as a development device, but I literally have not had any time. I apologize if anyone has emailed me and I haven't replied yet.
I need to take care of a few more personal things, but then I plan to work on getting Roam Control to work on the Photon. Thanks!!
That would be awesome as I love your app!

Yes, I needed it for my Evo 4g too. My office at work is bad for signal. The photon is a little better but I would like to have the option to Roam only again.
Well this last month has flown by, but I bought a Photon this afternoon. I have about 2 weeks to get Roam Control working before I have to give the Photon to someone else...so I'll be be working hard, starting tonight!
AWESOMENESS!! Thanks MrGreg!
After a few very long nights, I'm happy to report that I'm able to force roaming on the Photon!
I'm completely exhausted, but I need to do some more testing before I can release it. It does require root access to work.
I'll keep you updated!
You know I will help you test it if you need another test phone...
I look forward to buying this app in the market. This is great news.

I am also willing to do a limited time beta test of the new Roam Control on my rooted Photon. Say a 15 or 30 day beta testing period to confirm it is fully functional on my Photon and then purchase it on the Market.
Quick question for your Photon owners...do you normally keep your phone in "Automatic" mode or "Any CDMA" mode?
I need to pick one for my app...or I suppose I could make it smart enough to give you both options...
I would have to say we keep it on Automatic..

for us photon users we would need it on automatic. this allows us to have the faster DATA speeds!!

I am starting to investigate the SGII as a replacement for my Evo. The sprint network really stinks in terms of data speed. The idea of voice & data at the same time is appealing.
I use CM7 as my main rom & was curious if that would transfer over to the SGII?
Thanks,
Rich
not for a long time
Thanks for the quick reply. Are you saying CM7 wont be ready for a long time on this phone?

That's what I would say.
It's a very big task, but there's a huge bounty and (what seems like) a lot of developer interest. Something may pop out in a month or so, but it may be unusable.
It's pretty much impossible to say with only one or two developers having actually announced they're working on it. We all want it too, and it's coming, but be patient

My guess is now that it has been made legit, even if the the OTA has no ETA everything will be AOK because some HTC QA tester will leak some keys to the locked bootloader to XDA on the DL ASAP.
The phone is smoking fast and sense 3.0 is great so I don't care how long it takes.....as long as it gets unlocked i'll be happy

Great news!
Yes this is great hopefully everyone will keep the bootloader htc emails in here and out of the dev section.
btw this was noted in the xHausx thread by me when I asked them why they didn't just toss it up on their site like xhausx suggested.
Their response(2days ago) was thats not how they want to do it and they are currently still developing the software to do such in a software update.
btw nice work, at least attempt at making a big stride in your thread in the Dev section. Nice to see people trying stuff!

Oh i agree. keep it going till its officially done and out for everyone.
If you accept an OTA to unlock the 3VO's bootloader, is it possible that Sprint can somehow disable wireless tethering even on a rooted device? I would think that they know what's up; everyone with a rooted device doesn't have to pay $30 for hotspot.

NS4G doesn't have to pay $30 for hotspot...AND the phone comes unlockable out of the box.
I doubt Sprint cares that much....we are a relatively small minority of their total accounts and we are going to find a way to tether for free regardless of if we get unlocked or not.
Also isn't Sprint the only company that doesn't censor tether apps from the market? I'm pretty sure they also have an official 'non-anti-tether' stance.
...and that's to say nothing of the fact that we pay for our data service and who cares where our bits come from and go to? We pay for the transport of said bits...the contents, origination and destination should really be irrelevant.
Besides, I can saturate my wireless connection with pandora or a couple of downloads on my phone just as easily as I could by hooking it up to a computer.
EDIT: Either way, I don't think they could possibly prevent tethering without throwing multiple monkey wrenches into the works.
When i went to look at the phone the otherday on the 24th my sprint guy that i always deal with said u know they r unlocking the bootloader in 60 days right? An i was like no i thought it would already be unlocked he said he read somewhere 60 days to try an get ppl to stay with it
Now idk if this is true or not by the way this guy didnt know a thing on how to root untill i showed him now he flashes roms like crazy lol
Hey guys, I currently have the Epic 4G Touch with Sprint but there is a good chance that I might jump ship and come over to AT&T. If I do, the GS2 would most likely be the phone I will get. It's gonna be tough working with such a tiny screen (lol!) but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Don't want the Skyrocket because it doesn't have an Exynos in it and the HSPA+ should be plenty fast for my needs.
Anyway, all Android phones come with their fair share of problems out of the box, what am I going to have to deal with if I get the SGS2? Any radio issues? Battery problems? Screen problems? How does AT&T handle tethering? I heard about them catching people and changing them to a hotspot plan, is that true? Also, does AT&T still block app sideloading?
I plan on rooting but remaining on the stock ROM, assuming it's as good as the Epic Touch's stock ROM. Just gonna debloat the crap out of it and use Autostarts to keep everything under control. Should I go ahead and assume that rooting it is fairly easy?
Also, how is AT&Ts customer service to work with? I have been with Sprint for many years and have gotten manipulating them down to a science. I always get the latest and greatest phones, and never have to pay more than the subsidized price. I'm kinda nervous about switching because I'm worried I won't be able to pull that crap with AT&T.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Trust me, I've already read through a whole bunch of crap. I am just looking for some personal experiences here without having to read through page after page of meaningless drivel just to find a few simple answers.
only downside i can think of is if you drop it from the 10th floor the screen will crack... and it doesnt seem to work well in the pool.
It is a great device, only complaint i have is the non HD screen. If you are coming from a phone with high res like a iphone you will notice. If you arent coming from a high res phone you will never notice
You might have more issues with AT&T than the phone. Overall its a great phone with lots of dev support. there's a reason why AT&T is always at the bottom of the Lissy when out comes to customer services.

Most of the issues can be found by searching.
Hardware issues: Some people have had issues with the USB port breaking. Not common, but it seems that 90% of hardware failures are this.
The AP Mobile widget in UCKH7 will eat your data. If you're here I assume you'll be rooting - so not a problem for you. Kill it with fire and you're good.
The OTA update (UCKK6) sucks infected donkey balls. Lots of battery issues. Again - easy to avoid if you're here.

Ha! I post there from time to time! I was one of the Android Source admins before it merged with Android Task Force. Haven't used this profile pic on FB for a while now so you've got some good memory.
Hardware = USB problems with the connection port. Blotchy screen on dark blacks in a dark room. Not noticeable until then. It's a side-effect of SAMOLED screens. Burn-in most I can figure. These two problems are fairly rare (on this forum, I'd say 1 out of maybe 15 people complain of one or the other hardware issues).
Software: let's face it - 2.3.6 sucks. The update broke bluetooth HID devices, meaning no bluetooth keyboard or mouse. Occasional reports of wifi breaking, but that's due to the retards who never read and flash willy nilly from our sister forum and phone, the international GS2 without using the development tool Hellraiser. So, be educated man. If you don't read, you will end up ****ing your phone over, and then if you whine about it (which inevitably happens every time someone who doesn't read screws their phone up), prepare to be flamed. At that point you piss everyone who's seen your same thread or situation a hundred times from people who didn't search and read.
There are reports of battery drain issues due to 2.3.6 as well. Some of these are from programs, but if you're an Android user already, you know to kill and save RAM. I've had occasional reboots from when I pushed my phone hard, but nothing of diminishing value.
AT&T Service: Customer service sucks, so I hear. But they've always worked with me. I got them to unlock multiple phones in the past, I was grandfathered in to unlimited, and they've let me skirt waiting periods on my next update. I suppose if you're a new customer it might be different. I wouldn't know. Their service as far as phone calls and data? It ain't the best. To be honest, I don't get many dropped calls per week, but I know I get enough to remember that I get dropped calls weekly. Data can be spotty at times, but overall, in Orlando, it's fast.
My Review: moving from any other phone to this one is like being born again. You believe in technology again. Alright, so it ain't that much of a spiritual experience, but lemme tell you - this phone is fast. Yet, if you want the latest and greatest from Android, specifically 4.0.3, I'd pass on this phone. We will probably get it. Maybe. Our devs will work to make it happen, but sadly I doubt it will be an official update.
If you want solid hardware and a reliable phone however and don't mind gingerbread, this is the phone for you. It is fast, well-built, and has good battery life from my experience. I use it heavily for everything, and i get nearly 14-18 hours of heavy use (phone calls, texts, music, videos, downloads, web-surfing).
4.5 out of 5 stars for this phone from me.

Sprint and AT&T are in the same family with their Exynos chipset, which I'm sure you're aware of. The difference is that we are closer in relation to international. No WiMax chipset in ours, so easier porting.
AT&T is a fairly good provider. Service is decent, even out in the country, but it doesn't make you say "Man, Ma Bell is great about their connectivity everywhere."
While I told you we probably won't get an official Ice Cream update we WILL get one in one shape or form. 2.3.6 problems can be avoided by Hellraising a 2.3.4, 2.3.7 or 2.3.5 ROM. So if you want to avoid battery drain issues and use your bluetooth keyboard or mouse, you have your choices.
Bottom line brother, is with this phone you have options. We have devs, and tools that give you many options. If you're asking me if you should make the jump, I'd have to ask why, because WiMax with Exynos seems like a good setup, but if it's for a sensible reason, you could do worse than Ma Bell. If it's assurance you want, yes, this is and will be a good phone for quite a while. Yes, AT&T is decent, and yes, you will be fairly satisfied.
As a disclaimer, every experience is different, so I suggest you either look around this forum and make your mind that way, or bite the bullet and don't look back by moving to AT&T blindly, and go for the shortest contract you can.

I've missed having PTT since I gave up Nextel for my HTC Mogul. But this news has got me stoked, and glad I've stayed with Sprint. Coming in the form of an Android application, this is rumored to connect with all past, present, and future Direct Connect phones...
http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/20/sprint-leaked-memo-direct-connect-now-android-app/
Anyone else able to get excited about this?
UPDATE: Released today, September 16, 2012. Only available for the Kyocera Rise in the Play Store. More phones to follow, but no information coming from Sprint about what or when...

Here's a video demonstration of the application from Sprint:
Not really, I always found it annoying. Nothing more annoying than listening to conversations in your super market by some wanna be thugs talkin to his baby mama
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Hell yeah! PTT works great in the field. @
Always saw it as useful to people who can't be bothered to take off gloves or drop tools, like construction workers or garbage men. Its just instant speaker phone, right? I just remember a few friends having it and hearing that annoying chirp and listening to a conversation i'm not a part of. Pick up the phone and talk if you aren't preoccupied, chances are people aren't impressed and find you annoying.
PTT could be a blessing or a curse.
LONG time ago, I worked as an IT in a hospital, and was given a huge-ass iDEN phone. While it was great for my purpose (people in another branch could always get in touch with me), I grew tired of thug wannabes dialing random numbers and trying to see if they find a female on other end. Always pleasant when you sit in a meeting and all of a sudden *chirp* yo baby wassup! And no, I always had to keep this thing on, even during meetings. Company policy.
But other than that, it was great. Looking forward to it on Android, as long as you can set privacy settings, and maybe ability to reject callers on initial callup.
Sure, "Thug Wannabes" could be a problem. I grew up in a country part of Central Florida, and EVERYONE has it. They still run it. My dad just got rid of it recently. So, I'm glad it's coming back. There was a way to make your conversations go through the earpiece and not the speaker. Some people just didn't have the decency to do it that way.
Here's my take... If they are using their Data Network for this, than it's going to be worthless, the already existing TikL, is AWFUL if you don't have a decent signal. If it's going to be based off of their talk/text network, then I'm all for it, it would probably work much better.

Dude, that's funny.
I miss it. I used nextels a lot back in the day. My i860 was the **** back then. If u could have the features of todays phones with ptt I would consider it.

I'm excited to have PTT back. I still say to this day my i1000 plus was the best phone I ever owned.

That would be awesome to have! Makes it easier than having to call someone. Just wonder what buttons you'll have to press to use it easier, or would you have to do it the same way as Voxer?
Looking forward to this! Now I won't have to carry two phones at work. Any idea when it will be released?

Here's my take... If they are using their Data Network for this, than it's going to be worthless, the already existing TikL, is AWFUL if you don't have a decent signal. If it's going to be based off of their talk/text network, then I'm all for it, it would probably work much better.

I use tikl very often and it generally works fine even with only one bar of signal. I think it is by far the best PTT app for android. Tikl also has a privacy setting for all those who don't like that people can just chirp and start talking. With the privacy on no sound can come besides the chirp until you respond.
Well i do agree over hearing conversations can be annoying it wasnt just thugs everyome was guilty of that. I work in construction and always have 2 phones on me. My gs2 ans my i756. Alot of times its so loud i cant hear my gs2 ring but i can hear the 2 way on my nextel. It would be nice for my girlfriend to be able to 2way me if its something important.

HeyTell works pretty well for what it is.
It will be interesting to see if the app Sprint will be using is true time direct connect or voice storage.
The down side is the speakers on some android devices are horrible, EVO 4G and EVO 3D come to mind. Thats one of the main reasons i went to the Epic Touch, better external audio.

Not really, I always found it annoying. Nothing more annoying than listening to conversations in your super market by some wanna be thugs talkin to his baby mama

lol lol lol
But contractors rely on that kind of communication
So i saw that "leaked memo" the transform ultra is in our stock and it is not PTT capable.
Hope they do make a PTT app for direct connect.
Hey guys,
Sign this if you want to get back the features this phone is meant to have. I didnt start it, but its from another forum and I thought it would be good to repost here.

You get an 'A' for effort here... but lets be honest, this is never going to work. Online petition have a .01% success rate.
It doesn't have blocking mode? Why the [email protected]!k not?! I was looking forward to that. Guess I will be rooting after all.
Its worth a shot haha

Aaah yes. Taking out software features. Sounds just like the Verizon I know. You know, it's the Verizon whose support technician told my gf that the SGS3 is completely root-proof. SMDH
Verizon takes away features just because of how much they hate us. The only way to get them back is with root. This petition will do nothing.
It's worth a try!

Hilarious! The Google couldn't get them to change. I have unlimited data with them. The only option is to suck it up and root. When this contract runs out I'm doing the pay as you go plan with T-MO.

No blocking mode is the feature where you can silence all notifications and calls but let selected calls from contacts come through. I'm in the military and work third shift. I was looking forward to that to silence when I'm sleeping but let certain people through like family and work.
Well, at least one feature we thought was missing is actually there and working - Blocking Mode. It's just hidden, and we have to take a roundabout way to get to it:
Blocking Mode is Present and Working on the Verizon Note 2!
Hopefully since it's there and working it will be officially added into the settings with a future update.

You sir are way more optimistic than I am. I believe that because the feature is physically present however hidden from us, that it's intended to be hidden and if anything Verizon might straight up remove the feature altogether from the next update, not reveal it to us. God I don't know what would offend me more. If they removed the feature altogether in an update or if they decide to unlock it in a future update and claiming it for their own as some kind of new feature that the almighty Verizon god's graced us with..... jeez.
