Force Roam - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

IS there any change someone could develop a way to force the EVO to roam? I know there are quite a few people over at Android Central that have asked about it. Force roam is one of the two things I miss from my Pre, because I do a lot of traveling, and sometimes I'm caught in between Sprint and roaming and just bounce back and forth between 0 & 1 bar.
Thanks

I've seen that. Is it the only option? I was hoping someone with more knowledge then me would be able to make a simple app or widget with a switch. Is there just no option for that, or just a lack of interest?
Thanks for the reply

Done, thanks. I guess I have to stick with the posted method for now. It amazes me that someone can't make a simple little toggle widget.

once someone figures out how to get back to the ##775# screen. It was the only PRL I could find that actually showed the Triangle but since Froyo disabled ##775# its back to sqare one...

Update: CyanogenMod 6 RC1 and Nightlies has forced roaming capability:

Still got GPS issues? Try this.

I got the normal S i9000 (quite confused with all those different ones lol)
I tryed the fix posted on the vibrant page, but it only made mine worse. Keep in mind it actually was decent before, google nav worked ok, but sometimes jumped around.
Also didnt get more aqurate then 80 feet in the test app.
Now, i tryed following this guide isntead:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/128026-everyone-who-having-gps-problems.html
Now i get down to 16 feet, and locks on quick. It also seems ALOT more stable on the signal.
interesting skyhook is off? on that setup, wow
With skyhook on, it is very fast at my mobile..
Where do you come from? Maybe it has sth todo with the country where you live..
I am in Austria..
This DOESN'T have skyhook turned off. Why don't people read a bit more carefully instead of starting a new thread for no reason?
The only thing this guy does it turn the supl settings to autoconfig, and also have skyhook on.
The settings he lists are the default settings, that's why you see skyhook off.
This method has been posted many times before, and for most people it does nothing.
Yep skyhook is on. Well just wanted to post it

No thorough testing yet. I just went outside my house and GPS works almost instantly. I used to get 8 satellites in view but now I have 11. I'm surprised.
I'll go for a drive tomorrow.

Actually, I have no idea what you did there. I read it over 5 times and it does not make sense at all.

Now doubt. I was looking for a Ukrainian flag under his user name or something....
Does anybody know what this guy is saying ?
You have to clear your cache five times.
Lol no only 4 times
I tried putting it through a bunch of different translators but they all came back with the same translation:
WTF?!?!?!?
He's trying to use qpst.
OP don't worry, the evo would read that error but it writes fine in qpst
Notbsure what youre doing, maybe a prl change?

Hacked? or just Searched

Ok guys I have learned how to root a phone, many thanks go out to all on here who helped me especially Big Goron, who rooted my first phone for me using team view.
Now I have a serious question.
Today at work I looked at my phone because it buzzed as if I was getting a phone call, what I found next disturbed me a lot, somebody had entered my phone and was looking at everything on it, now I'm not the best at phones yet, but I am pretty handy behind this computer, so I get home plug the phone in a start hunting, what I found is a trace log from a govt computer that as far as I am concerned illegally entered my phone, and being that I am neither democrat or republican I do NOT want the govt in my personal phone, will droid firewall from the market work? Or do I need more security than that?
Apparently....yes they CAN get into a phone.
Since I'm the first to respond to this thread, guess I'll be the generic asshole to ask: What nonsense are you prattling on about?
All I read was a theory with no evidence to confirm such allegations.

Carrier Aggregation ... am I currently using it?

I'm looking for the phone menu in the HTC that will let me know if it's doing carrier aggregation. Verizon says they're doing it in many of their zones but I have no way to verify. It will have something in the menu like "CA:ADDED, SC_NUM:3" but I currently can't find a menu that would have this.
*#*#3424#*#* shows me the testing menu.
I use viper and looked in the "hidden HTC Info menu" in venom tweaks but it doesn't show this information either.
Any other ideas?

I guess that's a No as 2nd screen shows 1 Carrier?

No one else tried this?
No root here, so no luck.
It's working!
You have the 4G+ icon, and when you start a speedtest and really need more speed it activates the 2nd frequency automatically.
The thing is... Stuff is still WAY to slow.. on 4g Only I get about 20-40mbps ~.~
Anyone knows of a way to deactivate CA?
Yes, if you have the + that means it's carrier aggregated. That's on LOS/AOSP. Not sure about sense.

Lol. Root cause analysis provided to prevent future failures...
This is what I did.
I found out my "sleep timings" from Samsung Health located in setup and noted my sleep time from there.
Then I collated it with "Samsung Digital Well-being" to see if any of the messaging app was operated while I was sleeping.
It was not.
So I'm going to change the login pin and password.
Let the kids grow.
I'll be living alone when they move out.
Maybe try using the goodlock module "nice catch" by samsung, it stores data about notifications by apps and sudden wakeup of phone.
If goodlock is not available in your country try other alternatives like nicelock from playstore or any other app that provides same functionality.
