From their market page
"The first attempt at changing the roaming mode will be slow - don't worry, this is supposed to happen.
I will honor refund requests within 24 hours since the new market only gives you 15 minutes to try out an app.
Please refer to the website for questions and report issues to [email protected]. Please allow a reasonable amount of time (at least 24 hours) for a response."
So I would request a refund now so that if you can't get it working, you at least get your money back....they might have a solution for you as well

Send me an email at roamcontrol (at) gmail (dot) com along with your Google Checkout number. Otherwise, does your phone stay on Sprint or does it lose the signal when going into "roam only" mode?

I can't get it to work either.... I select roam only and it makes no difference... using 1.5.

There are a few reasons that you might see issues with Roam Control:
1. Your phone isn't rooted. I've seen some people update to EB13 not knowing that it took away their root. You should see some type of pop-up error if this is the case.
2. You have a Samsung phone and you live in a 1900mhz only area. See here. You will see your signal disappear if this is the case.
3. You are using a pirated version of the app. I can't take any responsibility for issues with an unlicensed copy of Roam Control. Honestly, I would be a little nervous giving root permissions to a pirated app, but that's just me.
It's always possible that something else is wrong too. Usually an uninstall and fresh re-install through the market fixes things. If not, feel free to send me an email and I'll be happy to help!

Mrgreg. I've noticed roam control stoped working on any of are froyo builds after the newest update. I haven't been able to locate a older version for testing as I'm afraid of installing a pirated app with root permissions. I'm willing to work with you on solving this matter if you like

Well yea my phone is rooted. and I used to use 1.4 and it was fine....1.5...it stopped and I cantfind that anywhere

It works fine on EB13 Stock. Are you guys who are having problems using a different ROM?

No rom. I'm running 2.2.1 stock

Do you mean the newest update of Roam Control? What specifically are you seeing? Do you see any error messages, does your phone lock up, etc?
I have a new version on my computer that's more similar to 1.4. The underlying implementation is the same for all of them but the trigger mechanism is different. I need to do a little more testing (have been super busy this past week) and I'll push it out the the market. I expect it to help with intermittent issues that a few people are having.

It just didn't do nothing. No fc our anything. It asks for root and I give it root access. But it didn't force the phone to roam. Phone dont lock up either.

count me in as well. I try to force roaming with the app on my rooted 2.2 epic and it just tells me to purchase roam control from the market even though I did

Count me in too. Doesn't work, was in a bad signal area so I couldn't request a refund. Honestly I don't mind having paid for it provided the issues are fixed (once discovered obviously) in a reasonable amount of time. Greg, if there's any way you could send a few of us a copy of 1.4 for testing purposes (I'd be happy to verify my purchase...somehow) maybe we could help figure out what's going on.
One thing I'll mention, it seems if I toggle back and forth like a spastic child between auto and roam, eventually it will roam, on the auto setting, then switch back after a minute or so to a sprint tower. Rooted EB13 with overclock kernel (same issue without). Hope this helps.
Please keep us posted as I will be monitoring this thread.

hmm
my roam control works without an issue.
its worked on: cm6
bonsai (all versions)
stock deodex eb13
2.1 and 2.2 modems
both app version 1.4 and current 1.5
however, most calls to go straight to vm. In my opinion, this is generally a positive thing. ha ha.

Does it still show as "purchased" when you go into the market? Go ahead and install the latest version and fire it up, it's probably just having difficulty contacting the licensing server.

HBO Go.....sound but no video

Loving my GS2E4GT, but with HBO Go I get sound but no video. Anyone out there find a cure or workaround?

You will get audio only if you don't have strong enough bandwidth. Did you try it on Wifi yet?

Same issue here and yes I've tried with wifi.
HBO and MAX Go
Same issue here.
On WiFi on 22Mbps, still didn't get anything but audio. The screen was completely black. I thought there was an error with the app and that it got locked. Tried unlocking, but went back to a black screen (locked), then hit the lock button again and went to the locking screen.
Tried HBO Go and MAX Go on both 3G and WiFi yesterday. Black screen with audio. Just tried on 4G and can confirm it didn't work either; same black screen with audio only. Getting 5Mbps right now on 4G.
As a comment to reference, up till saturday morning, when I got the E4gT, the Evo3D was having no problem showing these videos. From time to time I would get the odd "sound only" message, but it would be gone within seconds and the video would come back up.
With people commenting about data issues, others with radio issues, etc. makes me wonder if it's hardware and not software. Maybe a new kernel fixes it, but I haven't tried that yet.
Is there anybody able to get video on HBO Go and MAX Go at the moment? Could you provide as to whether you're using stock kernel or one of the rooted kernels; if rooted, which method, and ultimately, what type of connection are you using and what type of bandwidth do you have?
Hope we can shed some light into the issue.
If you check the comments with the app, all E4GT users are having this issue.

Not sure I can post links so copy/paste.
Down low in the page:
Art Russ - +Brad DeFruiter >> Current Widget doesn't work due to missing drivers/capabilities.
Take it as a grain of salt. Wonder if it could be a library missing, and if so, if one could be grabbed from a different device and pasted into the appropriate sys folder on the E4GT. Would need root, but still...
As of 10/12/2011, version 1.2 has video working for E4GT. If any issues, try removing the app from your phone and reinstalling from the market.
So far I've had no issues, and video finally works!

This is happening to me as well. I noticed that it started to happen with version 3.7.11 of the Play Store and it still happens with 3.7.13. It will also work if you downgrade to an older version of the Play Store, but it will eventually update itself back to 3.7. There is another thread on the Q&A section about it as well, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750823.

It was on the ff18 stock rooted build of ics... Every time i downoaxed any app oc significant size a window poppec up wuth a checkbox already checked saying wait for wifi connection to download
you probably didnt see it, because the window will go away , and the app stays in a waiting for network mode.
kill the download restart and see if it pops.up. I tbink maybe sprint ia getting killed by unlimited data. Lol

Just woke up this morning and have the same problem, last night everything worked and now not anymore :/
Same issue still occurring today...
Few days passed, still no fix ?
My temporary fix is uninstall updates and download 1-3 apps fast then it gets updated again :/
Same here. Also since the update, app preview pics that are in landscape format (Angry Birds for example) only display in portrait format... can anyone else please confirm or deny this?

Using deactivated Epic as a media/app device?

I really don't even know how to search for this because the only device I know of that I could compare the functionality I want is the iPod Touch. I moved to Verizon a while back and got the Galaxy Nexus. What I would like to do with my Epic is remove all of the phone functions and leave it as a WiFi capable device similar to the iPod Touch so that my son can use it to watch videos and play games. I keep airplane mode turned on, but I keep getting some notification about voicemail not working and I would prefer it to not be able to accidentally dial 911 since Sprint is required to allow that call if the phone tries to send it.
Are there any ROM's that do this, or is it easy to remove the necessary files? I currently have ACE2.0 flashed, and I love it, but I will switch if I need to.
Didn't someone just post this exact same thing? Delete dialeractivity.apk and there will be no dialer.

Sorry, I didn't see any threads that I thought were the same question. Does that take care of the voicemail notification too?
I found this when looking for something similar for a used Fascinate.
I haven't tried it yet, but intend to when I get some time in a couple weeks...
Looking at the package it deletes several apks and installs a "radiooptions" binary that gets run via script at boot-up.

Thanks for the heads up. I tried searching and came up with way more threads. I put too much in search.
So, what i understand from going through each post is that ics is modem picky and varies by individual phone.
I rooted my girls phone. We have same rom and modem. She ran a test and ended up with 8mbps and im still in double digits(20).
If that fails then a GB flash might and shoukd fix it.
Someone posted about modem corruption through recovery and odin was a possible solution.
Did i miss something? It looks like im stuck or might need to revert back to GB.
Have you updated the PRL and Profile? If not do that

Okay I looked around a little bit, and found some article saying if I was running a stock t Mobile ROM they can track it but if I'm running a stock rooted rOM they probably wouldn't be able to track it. But I'm still not sure.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
hey if you are not rooted then they can track you. But if you are rooted then you can use titanium backup to freeze tethering manager or tethering provisions ithink it is called in ics. Most custom roms have that disabled so you dont have to worry about it. But it also seems that since they came out with the new unlimited 4g that they figured out a way to do it even if you have that tethering manager frozen not sure how but they figured it out. Given some time someone here will figure out how to get around that too. they kick us in the balls we kick them back. Right now if the method above does not work because it seems to work for some people then they catch on or whatever also if you dont have unlimited 4g then it might work with no problem but if it doesnt the only way I have found around it is to use google chrome on your pc then go to the chrome store and get an app called user agent spoofer I think it is called and it allows you to change your user agent so you can use chrome but it will think you are using IE or firfox or iphone or android. So what you do is set it to android then you trick them into thinking that you are using your phones browser but you are really using it o nyour pc. Now unfortunatly this has some drawbacks like if you try to use netflix it will not let you or pandora it wants you to download the app but of corse you cant because it is a pc. so anything with flash really wont work. But if you are in a jam and need the web then it will work.
