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?
Thanks
I've used it with DK28 extended, the last three versions of nebula, and viper. Its the only way I get signal in a 3 block area around my house

dont know if it works, but i do have it turned on anyways
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.
Thanks,

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

K, replied
Ever since eclair, I've been using the Roam Control app alot on my Epic. There are certain areas that I am in daily that just get spotty/no signal at all. I flash ROMs quite often, and one of the ROMs I flashed in the past killed the Roam Control app. I'm not sure if flashing Froyo was the reason, but I do know that it worked perfectly in the past with this phone.
When I press roam only, it doesn't do anything. It asks for SU permission but the signal bars stay the same. I don't lose signal all together or roam-- this app has no effect on me anymore.
What is the problem here? I am using the latest version of the app (1.5.4) and if it means anything, I'm on ACS' wonderful ROM- 1.1.1.
Does this happen to anyone else, and is there any way to fix it or any other way to force roam?
Thanks!
I had mine break before as it kept telling me to purchase it even though I had already. After numerous attempts of clicking roam, switching devices in settings and trying to connect, uninstalling and reinstalling, and reboots it randomly started working again. Sorry that's not much help but maybe one of those techniques will work for you I wish I knew what exactly fixed but I was doing everything that I don't remember what it finally was, sorry.
I now just use a verizon prl instead so I can get 3g and not just the 1x roam control only allows. Good luck. If I think of anything about exactly what I did I'll let u know.

I checked the auto reboot and when it eventually rebooted, it actually messed up my phone and I got a bunch of FC's
How do you use the Verizon PRL?
Roam control actually works much better for me now the I'm on the ee03 modem
Hmm...theres something wrong on my end then? I tried installing the Roam Control before anything else and it still doesn't work.
Are there any other apps that force roam?
i intsalled roam control and it did nothing. i set everything up and when i manually set it to roam it does nothing. i set it to auto and move to an area i know i get terrible signal and nothing. odd seeing as it has worked for so many.
In my house I get 1 bar on sprint towers, and when I turn on roam control I get 5 on verizons, Ive been using it since February and I believe twice it would kinda wig out and say no signal for about 10 mins or so no matter what I did, I believe it was some kind of auto update or perhaps just resetting itself? Anyways it always came back, the first time was like 10 mins the second was about 5 mins. I know that doesnt explain anything but Its what I have experianced using it. All in all a great app that I use all the time.
I am on the SFR 1.1.1 with EE03 modem and use Roam Control while at work all the time with no problems. I have had the license issue before, but a phone reboot and data connection fixed that.
I would recheck Superuser to see if Roam Control still had permission, also check mobile network settings set to Automatic, and then maybe fix permissions with CWM.
Disclaimer: I am not very developer savvy, so I do not know if these are a waster of time or not.

I wiped all my data and started from fresh, installing Roam Control, making sure that it had SU permission, and made sure that roaming was allowed in the mobile network settings. I went into CWM and fixed my permissions, but it's still the same
Edit: I also updated my PRL but no dough.

I am on my own version of SRF 1.1.0 called RandomRom linked in my signature. I baked in a lot of the mods that are now added into SRF 1.1.0. It uses Genocide to avoid freezing issues, and comes pre-journaled.
Using my Rom and EC05, roam control works great for me every day in my house. I know for a fact that RC can be a fickle app, so maybe give it a try?

In the development section they'd a section on how to manually update your prl. Its pretty good instructions. Just find the prl u want to use. I'm u do ng a 0001. I can't remember where I found it if its not in that thread. I'll look later.
Every few weeks I get rolled back to sprint prl but I just take the 2 to change back. If u need any thing else let me know.

Just be warned, 3G roaming on Verizon may venture into excessive roaming of your Sprint contract and get your account cancelled. No one has a completely clear answer on what excessive is.

I used roam control pretty much non stop for a couple months and have been on this prl for about another two months and no warnings or anything here. I'm in ms and we don't even have 3g where I'm at. The 0001 prl claims to trick your phone into showing sprint also . So that could be why.

If you are using a backup version of Roam Control then it will not work for some reason.. everytime I change to a diffrent ROM and try reinstalling my apps that I backed up.. Roam Control does the samething.. it wont change your signal.. it just does nothing..
this happens no matter how I restore it.. using Titanium Backup, APP Monster or MyBackup Pro.
Roam Control is the only app I have to reinstall from the Market for it to work properly.
Hope this helped!!
Just to be sure, everyone having problems with Roam Control is going into settings and choosing Samsung as their phone model...yeah?
I've had a few problems with roaming on the GB leak, but it's mostly just more of the same weirdness where I randomly have to reset the modem to get a data connection, and Android refuses to 'Never Ask Again', no matter what settings I check.
Otherwise, I've been roaming with Roam Control daily at work. Mind you, I'm not on any custom kernels.
/sometimes if I start Roam Control when I have absolutely no signal, it'll try to confirm my license, fail, and then get really really pissy until I close out of it, get data back, and run it again, at which point it behaves like I just installed it
//Roam Control is fantastic for when Gingerbread's data breaks, even when on Sprint, since you can just go in, tap Automatic, and it'll reset the modem for you without requiring a reboot

I'm using rc1.5.4 and I don't think it works either. I installed it after a day at work which was a bad spot for sprint service but watched my battery drain from 50% in 3 hours with a couple phone calls, emails and texts. Then my battery died. I was not happy that it drained sooo fast. Do any of the earlier versions work? Before 1.4?

Hmm. Whenever I used to use Roam Control in the past, it gave me much much more battery life. (almost double actually)
But now it doesn't work at all.

Ok so I bought roam control and it seems as tho it refuses to go into roaming.
I read this faq and it says,
"My phone does not get any signal when in “roam only” mode.
Chances are you have a Samsung phone. Samsung phones have different behavior - when in "roam only", they only roam on the 800mhz frequency band. There are areas in the US that are 1900mhz only, which means that Samsung phones will not get a signal in those areas."
However, when i'm not trying to force roam, it still goes into roaming sometimes but only when i'm not forcing it.
Is there any way I can change something to make it work?
Some one here may have an answer but if the application is 'acting up'/buggy you may have to contact the developer
Did you see this:
"Please send all questions and comments to [email protected]" The developer may be able to help you.
Or this one:
"If you wish to contact us, please send questions and comments to [email protected]. Make sure to include as many details as possible in your email."
Yeah I noticed that but I had assumed that this was something I could get a quicker response from our community. I'll contact him.

I have been using roam control since I got this phione and before on a Samsung Moment.
When I was running GB roms on this phone it worked flawlessly with it set to:
Phone Manufacturer: Samsung
Action after selection: exit app
Since I changed to ICS roms it has been a bit wonky though (same settings). It sometimes takes a minute or two to switch in or out of forced roam. Very infrequently it drops out of the app without doing anything. Make sure you have the roam notification box checked off while troubleshooting so you know what state it is really in. Also maybe try changing the action setting to reboot after selection as that was required for my Moment to work correctly. Since you have just installed it, this is probably not an issue for you but several times after flashing new roms it stopped working and I had to delete/reinstall it after restoring my apps. Just deleting data and cache never fixed it. Even now I "think" it is acting up a little but it is working correctly.
Well I have actually tried it on 3 roms now and its the same result. I've tried the rebooting option but that didn't work either. I first tried on aokp and then on stock fe10 and now on gb el29, none of which will pick up the roaming.

been using an older version of roam control for a while now.. just downloaded cm9a4 last night while using roam control to force roam.. has worked flawless on multiple roms for me.. when i have issues i go into network settings and make sure its set to automatic, and turn the data roaming guards off, then open up rc and set to roam only
Is there a link so I can try an older version? Or could you email me the apk or something? Maybe that's all I need, an older version.

I'm running the newest version of ROAM Control with PRL 11115 and it works flawlessly on both GB and ICS.
The trick, you really need to pay for it. The newest versions hacked and cracked simply do not work right. Sometimes they work for a while then they do not but paid for legit keys work 100% from what I've seen.
Out of respect for Mr Greg I'd rather not say which one older version seems to work 100% even if its pirated but as I said above, the newest one with a legit key will work.
I think a lot of it has to do with the part of the country your in. In the Omaha area...feel free to chime in Omaha-ens, it just won't work. I think it has to do with the frequency issue and the network your trying to roam too.
I'm not looking for a freebie. I did buy it. It just won't work for me, which is why i'm looking for an older version.

In which case if you go to RC's webpage and email Mr. Greg I would assume he can hook you up with what you need.
Yeah, i'm waiting on a response. I trust that we will figure this out.
If you searched any of the other 10 or so threads on this you would see Samsung cannot always roam 3G depending on what spectrum Verizon is using, it has to do with PCS block.
If you roam 1x at all forced it is working.

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.

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.

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.
I don't believe this has been posted for the e4gt but came across this error after flashing AOCP ROM and it stuck on everything I flashed afterwards. Roaming would not work, at all. I spent 3 days without signal at work for 10 hours a day.
I tried clean installs of roms I knew worked, I tried to Odin back to stock, I tried to nand back, nothing seemed to work, until the guys over in the SGS3 forums found the answer.
Go to settings, and toggle roaming on and off. Not roaming guard, but roaming itself.
So simple it was laughable, but it works.
Again, I didn't see this posted anywhere in our forums, but if it has been please don't flame, I only wanted to share the fix. I don't remember who it was that found it but they definitely deserve huge thanks!:beer::thumbup:
Edit- I am in no way bad mouthing or otherwise ripping on AOCP, I think it is a stellar rom and would be running it as a dd if not for this bug. Just wanted to make that clear!
Unfortunately this isn't limited to AOKP, found this out the hard way on an int'l trip last month. Also replied to this on Sprint Communities earlier today.
What Prl do you have? Mine is 60690 and roaming works fine. I also use roam control to force roam in some areas where I know signal is bad.

Roaming does work fine - if you have the boxes checked. If not it won't even turn on - as I learned the hard way. (Had to wonder why it worked fine for the missus and not me until I realized I uncheck the boxes out of habit.)
Sorry, I guess there was a miscommunication, or rather an omission on my part. The issue I ran into originated after flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942162 this ROM. The options to roam are there, but do not work, it always goes back to home only network. Then after wiping data, and both caches and flashing to other roms the issue persisted. My phone refused to roam. The fix in the op corrected the problem.
Sorry about any confusion :beer:
