Force Roaming - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

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.

Isn't sprint free after 7? Or does that not count for international?

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.

I would make sure that none of your apps are set to auto update. Other than that you can use a third party app like traffic monitor to see what is using your data.

I'm getting them five or six times a night, my wife is worried I'm on my phone at all hours of the night from the bill. I would really like to find the source of the media/data and put a stop to it.
How do I make sure my apps don't auto update? (Sorry, I'm new to Android, so be patient)

Open Google Play, select your menu button, select "my apps" and then check they are not set to auto update. You should also check settings and make sure auto update is not set as default.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Go into settings>data usage and it should tell you exactly what is using data and how much.

What does the data usage on the phone say?
Settings > Data Usage
That should tell you what app is using the data. It could be a whole bunch of things.
MobileAP widget was quite the culprit for unexpected data use on gingerbread.

Did that before I went to sleep. Also here is a sample of the ones using data through the night. I'm on wifi all night but whatever is doing this uses actual phone data.

This is not a Note 2 problem but an ATT problem. My mother had the exact same problem on a much simpler phone that didn't even have a data plan attached to it. I looked at her bill online and there were countless small data exchanges over a short period of time. I spoke to ATT and told them she doesn't even have a data plan and her phone is not one to use data. I had to forcibly block Internet data from exchanging back and forth on the account level. Obviously you can't use that as a solution. Don't let them tell you it's your device because chances are it's not.

Your screen shot is on the wifi tab. Click the mobile tab and take screen shot so we can see what apps are actually using your data

Wow, thanks for such valuable input, sorry for trying to provide peace of mind to my wife and mother of my children. Maybe I should just divorce her and move on, that would show balls, right? Go troll somewhere else.

saw 2 files you removed that I'm just giving an experienced warning on for others...if you remove the voicemail, you will not receive any notifications if you get voice messages, again I know from experience
not gonna double quote the other pic I saw but the google text to speech file, another 1 that if you ever use your phone on the road for gps, you will not get turn by turn voice directions...yes I've done this and experienced the loss of turn by turn voice
other than that, nice listings and compilation for users

Thank you for the for letting them know that , voicemail for me if I miss a call I just hit and hold 1 and takes you to the old style voicemail
And I dont use voice stuff at all for my phone kinda pointless to me when you have google on mobile web...lol...
Tell you what man deleting all this is amazing how much battery I have gained and how much smoother the phone and performance is
If you and any of you have anymore pointers for the apps being deleted please feel free to share
This list is the list I personally deleted because I never have or never will I use
hey man no problem, I'm like you, I rip all that crap out!! lol even the custom roms, but sometimes when I miss calls at work, I don't bother just dialing the voicemail and next thing you know, I get the message over a week late lol gotta love the space it all frees up too and speeding up the phone and saving battery life for sure
again good posting up of the pics for people to actually see and follow along
