Roam control in the market will do what you want.

Roam control works great. You will only get a 1x signal though so its only good for calls and texts.

No problems for me. Slow data but I am on wifi most of the time.

It worked great for me when I had a weak or no signal in the mountains. Works fine here in Raleigh, NC as well.

Force Roaming

Hi I'm running eg22 and I'd like to force my phone into roaming sometimes, for instance when I have 1 bar of sprint but my friend has 5 bars of verizon...instead of my phone switching to and from roaming when I so much as blink. I know sprint has been known to cancel contracts when over 300 and some odd megabytes have been used in roaming..so maybe a program that let's me roam at the push of a button and also logs data usage. Please help!!! Thank you so much in advance!

Roam control is on the pricey side [yes I know its only 4 bucs, but still....hah]

Yeah I was looking for something more homegrown. I'd love it if someone became motivated from the idea and decided to release something through xda. I really have grown to value this community. Apps seem to evolve faster on here.

Is anyone having problems while roaming?

In my house in the back I have no service and it roams and I get 1 bar. When I had my evo 3D it would roam with 3G, but this phone doesntlet the phone roam with data. Is anyone else having this problem and if so is there a fix yet?

Under network settings what is your roaming set to? Sprint or automatic?

force roam

Sprint is terrible in my area so I always force roam when im home and ive been doing this for about 6 months now with no problems, but Lately when I turn force roam on I get no service or 1 bar. Ive tried to reflashing roms and also updating profile and what not. Any help would be cool, thanks.
Maybe sprint saw how much force roam data you were using and cut you off

Yeah i was thinking that also, it sucks i get no service at my house.

That'd probably what it is. At least they didn't cut you off for roaming too much.

Roaming

if i purchase roam control will i get fast 3g while roaming on verizons network or will it be slow. currently now when my phone goes into roaming i get very slow 3g data even if i have full bars
I always wondered how this works too
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
You have to use a prl that supports 3g roaming also. If your just using the prl that came with the phone then your prob only roaming on 1x even though the phone says 3g. Theres lots of threads on this matter however u might find some helpful info in this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906471 btw.....LTE roaming is impossible.
Besides roam control is there any other way to force roaming??

By loading a VZW PRL. There's a thread in the dev section with a bunch of them.

Or manually force your phone to only use the 850mhz band, which is basically what Roam Control does on the S3.
and how do i do that? can you please provide a link

Cm10.1 data switching issue

When I turn on my data it switches between 3g and 4g and I can't even figure it out
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
That is how it is supposed to work, nothing to figure out.
My gfs phones never switches or anything my phones does all the time
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What is she on and it never switches to what? If she hasn't updated her modem it will stay on 3g all the time. It is like this on every AOSP rom for our phone. Unless there is a theme that edits it out.
If speedtest says it's fine, it's fine.
It just switches from 4g to 3g all the time but I guess I'll have to live with it
