I searched but didn't find:
I'm running Fresh (which is great!) but I also have Froyo available through ROM manager and I can flash between them (which is awesome!). Anyhoo--I noticed that when I was in Froyo, my roaming indicator was on. This kinda freaked me out cuz of the roaming charges. I looked up info. online to see if it is only the indicator that is screwy or if I am ACTUALLY roaming and being billed for roaming. When I saw it, I quickly flashed back to Fresh. I'd like to keep Froyo just to watch Hulu BUT I don't want to be charged for roaming. Anybody know the answer to my dilemma?
Thanks!

Thanks, its awesom to have flash 10.1 on my Fresh!!! Unfortunately, when I tried Hulu (including doing the about:debug fix), it still says "your platform is not supported," or whatever.
Gotta keep searching for the solution! Thanks for flash though

You don't. BUT, I've read online that to get it to work, you must go into your browser, and in address bar, type: "about:debug" (w/out quotes). According to instructions I've read, nothing will happen when you hit GO--BUT, if you click on settings after hitting GO and scroll down to "UA string," click on it, and you'll see the option "desktop." You're supposed to click on that, and Hulu should work.
I'm gonna try also. Thanks for you help!
JUST READ: Hulu has blocked this method! Nevermind! I still flash v7 though.
Yeah the flash loads but they have it blocked..

As crazy as it sounds you have several people like myself that actually WANT to roam. 3 sites that I know of where people are doing work arounds that still arent doing the job. Does this ROM give you the option to toggle between roaming and not roaming. Sprint has free roaming as long as its not abused. Trust me I been warned before when I had my Touch pro 2 and just let it roam a whole month..lol. I'd pay for a application like this and many other...
Both my wife and I (both on Fresh 3.1.0.1) are getting server errors trying to access android market tonight. Anyone else having this problem? Tried rebooting, tried routing through wifi, neither helped.

Edited OP. 3G here is spotty, so I thought it might be that market refused to go thru wifi for some weird auth-related reason. I wasn't seeing packets going thru the router, at least. But I turned off wifi, verified that I was able to route packets thru 3G, and still no market.

Gotcha. I do hope they fix it soon. There's nothing worse that being bored and wanting to browse apps. It's funny because I normally don't browse much on the app store. Maybe it's my fault
theres a all around problem with the market for the last hour or so i just tested both my Evo and a old Samsung Moment laying around the house and both are having the same problem.(Also my Evo's Rom is the stock rooted 2.2)
I just flashed a new ROM and thought something was bad. Good to know it's not just me.
Same here.

It got me too, hopefully it's just some maintenance, although the least they could do would be to post a notice
It seems to be back up. However, I can't find some apps, and it's not showing free apps in the list anywhere near the top when I search (e.g. my wife just searched for "clock" -- she wants a new clock widget). I'm hoping this is a temporary problem.
Actually I'd really like to be able to filter to get just free apps on a search, but, no go on this.
I think they are SLOWLY getting it back up. I don't have top paid tab in my market. Its loading very slow, and a lot of apps are missing. Hopefully it will be sorted out by morning.
Roam control is not working for me, I was running Midnight ROM 3.1 and it never worked. I even tried the stock dl18 rom rooted and no luck with that either. Is it working for anyone else?

I am running a Syndicate 2.1 ROM and I get Roam notif's sometimes here at home when my service is out of range...
Roam control has been working fine for me on the last few versions of Viper (4.0.1, 4.0.2c, 4.0.3 and 4.0.4).
Works for me. I have to have the 'reboot' option selected.
When my phone restarts I have a little triangle over my signal bars. If you don't get the triangle you're not roaming.
No issues here. I'm running Bonsai v 2.0.1. I had viper trinity v1, apocalypse and frozen. Worked on all those too.
Works fine for me on Bonsai 2.01. No problem either on any previous ROMs I've tried.

I can help you out...can you tell me what version of the app you are running, and what part of the country you are located in? Can you send me a PM or an email at roamcontrol (at) gmail (dot) com if you don't want to share the information publicly.

Hey MrGreg question about your app, with it forcing roam you are only able to obtain 1xRTT right? Or does this somehow allow 3g roaming with Sprint -> Verizon?
I have good 3g almost everywhere already but wondering if it may be worth buying just to have to force Verizon if needed.
Works fine on stock Eclair rom rooted. Sometimes I get a some sort of java error, but it always changes. Make sure phone type is set.
Mine doesn't work. Tried reboot and I get no signal at all when I force into roam. Works fine both networks. I'm in Orlando,FL.

I've already tried selecting the maufacturer (samsung) and I have even tried reboot on selection, maybe its the way I rooted it, how did you root your phone. I used z4root. Whenever I click roam only, it just asks for root and when I press accept, the service/roam stays the same.
Does somebody know a fix for this?
Thanks

It puts the phone into a roam only mode and the phone generally roams according to the PRL, so you're limited by the roaming agreements. You'll most likely get 1x data speeds.
I say the phone generally roams according to the PRL because I've seen a few areas where the phone will get a roaming signal in "automatic" mode but not in "roam only" mode, or it will get 3G roaming in "automatic" mode but only 1x in "roam only" mode. I'm not sure how the roaming algorithm is implemented on the phone, but it seems slightly different between the two modes.

I did say that the app puts the phone into a roam only mode, but there are some limitations with the Samsung phones. They seem to only roam on the 800mhz frequency band when in this mode. There are a few areas in the US that are 1900mhz only (Chicago, most of TX, parts of FL, etc), which means the Samsung phones will not get any signal when using Roam Control. If this is the case for you, send me an email and I can give you a refund.
If you attempting to put it in "roam only" mode and the phone stays on Sprint, that's a different story. Does the app display any errors? Does the signal disappear momentarily and them come back?

The phone just stays on sprint when I click roam only, when I had it for the evo, it worked perfectly. It showsno errors when I click the app. When I click roam only, it just says that roam control has been granted superuser permissions, and nothing else happens, it just stays on sprint. Do you kno what may be causing the problem? Also, when I click about and press view log file, it just shows 105 if that helps. I am rooted via z4root if that might also pose a problem
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm having problems with my Evo running CM7. I can't send any text messages (they fail every time) and when I try and make a phone call, a voice comes up saying "Your authentication code could not be verified." I flashed over to the Fresh rom and updated my PRL and profile and rebooted the phone and still, get the exact same message. I'm not roaming because it's happening in my current town.
Does anyone have the slightest idea on what could fix this?
Thanks!
You should give Sprint a call on this one. Sounds like something on their end.
I've been having the same issues in Houston. Seems like a Sprint problem.

Happens all the time, lol. If I know they can do it and they won't/can't, I usually just call back.
Data for browsing, etc works like normal... But I'm unable to stream any media on 3G, WiFi is fine and I don't have 4G. On YouTube I get an error about connection to the server being lost (something like that) - App or Browser - and Pandora/Songza just won't buffer, but the apps will load up fine.
Oh, also I on occasion will use WiFi tether to connect to the Wii to stream Netflix, but that works pretty well. Occasionally it needs to buffer.
Any guesses as to why, or more importantly how to fix this? I'm stock and rooted, LG8 firmware, but this was an issue prior to this.
Update prl and profile. Are you in a weak signal area?

So odd. I had updated both following my update to LG8 last week when I was at work... I just updated both again, and now all 3 are streaming just fine. I'm in a good signal area, and so is the are that I like to run in too. Weird. Guess it just needed another update. Thanks for the tip.

I was able to fix mine by changing my Sprint network from CDMA to LTE/CDMA.
WTF. So now tonight it's broken again. Even re-updated the PRL, etc... This is annoying as hell. And on an unrelated note, anytime I try and copy a URL in Chrome it crashes and doesn't copy. And copy/paste everywhere else just doesn't work. So mad.
very interesting...the issue hit LTE evo owners too. ....I have a conspiracy theory but unfortunately can not share it.
those that have contacted pandora get a letter that they are aware of the issue and working on a fix.
I have had the same happen to me, flashed lg8 and lg2 with no change. Still cannot stream.

So I'm not the only one having this problem. I thought I was going crazy.
i have been having issues with my evo3d and s3 for the last few weeks with pandora. i have tired all 12 of our demo phones and they are hit or miss, mostly misses lol.i have had a few customers asking why pandora isn't working too.
Still nothing after another PRL and Profile update. This is some bull.

If that were the case then it wouldn't have worked on my Evo... When it did. So, I'm thinking that's not the case...
Anyway, I will place a call to tech support this afternoon, I just need access to a 2nd phone.
Welp. Call 1 was no help. All they had me do was type in some code on the dial pad that took the phone through the hands free activation process. Didn't work (duh)... And then I was told to clear the cache and cookies on my browser (how that'd help Pandora...?) which also didn't work. He then told me he could set me up with an appointment at a Sprint store. Uhm. No. Have to try another tech.
0 for 2. Again asked to update profile... Even after explaining I literally just did. Same with cookies/cache. When I reiterated that I can't stream via apps or a browser the tech sounded perplexed, and then we got disconnected.
So, is my best bet to unroot and take it in? Lame.
