[Q] Integrating "forced roam" into ROMs?? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I am a regular user of the Roam Control app and rely on it every single day to use my Sprint phone on indoor Verizon repeaters. As much as I love the app, it's licensing function makes it a pain to use if there is no signal available. I was wondering if anyone has or could build such a function into the ROM itself.

It only checks license the first time it is run

Pandora problem

My Pandora is defective, I have removed, and re installed older versions, and no matter what I have tried, I'm not having success.
It plays anywhere from 1 to 1:30 minutes then it goes to another song, always.
My phone is rooted, they claim that they do not support rooted or unlocked phones, I'm not sure if this is the reason.
I use unlimited Pandora and I can't say I have notice that you can try it if you like

Thank you for the link, but I still have the same problem.
Obviously something in the phone I guess.

This seems to be a problem with the latest update, but only some people are having the issues. If you read the comments on the market, you'll see other people with the same problem

I was having the same problem with Pandora, but my issue was resolved by removing JuiceDefender. But I think the issue with JD has since been resolved.

Time Zone Bug Arizona Verizon

I just woke up here in Arizona. My phone is saying it is 8:23. It is actually 7:23. We do not observe DST here.the only way to fix this was to go into settings and turn off automatic time zone.

Are you both on Verizon? Maybe it is Verizon's fault?

That may be, but ICS is not refreshing the time once it is set. It takes a reboot to work.

It reset for me without any issue so it might just be a Verizon problem. I'm with T-Mobile.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Certainly possible.
The thing is, we don't use DST and the phone assumed we did. Doesn't TX observe DST?

i have vzw and the time on my phone updated just fine without doing anything... but im in TN
For the folks its working fine for, I can tell at least one from their location is not in Arizona.
I ended up just unchecking the automatic Time Zone option and set it to -7 Arizona. It was set for -6 Mountain Time
Same problem here, in phx, Verizon gnex and iphone 4s both had the bug, both corrected themselves with no intervention around 0930

You're right. We do observe it here in Texas. Seems like it points more towards Verizon but I'd like to know if more people from Arizona are having the same trouble.

same thing on Verizon here in Hawaii. so silly because with automatic time zone selection from the network has the correct time zone of GMT-10 but it added the hour

This. We're the same as Mountain for half the year and the same as Pacific for the other half. Mine thought it was Mountain when set automatically until I manually changed it to Manual.

[Q] Finding a Lost Phone...

I know there are several apps on the market that will help you find a lost phone. The wife really needs one and I'd appreciate suggestions. I am somewhat concerned about potential security issues and whether these apps require GPS to be left on all the time.
Tks
Personally I use lookout, but they also have an app that can be used even if your phone is already lost called plan b

Yes, if you have a sense Rom running and your signed in. You can also use latitude to see where your phones are but its not always 100% accurate. Or just call it and listen for the ringer

I picked the app up free a couple months ago when Google was giving things away.
Since this thread is off-topic from anything anyway...

Rom with best hot spot/wifi tether?

Question, are there any roms out there that have a better quality hot spot /wifi tether than others or is this feature just generally poor on this phone?
The reason I am asking is that my original evo had great hot spot quality. I drive back and forth from Houston to San Antonio and with the evo my wife would be able to be connected and work on her laptop the whole way. With this phone she can't.

Ok several months ago the sprint tether app was modded and is the best out. Let me find the link I will put it in here. Most of the newly updated roms all have the modded sprint tether already built in. Have you read the changelog for Blazer?

I did download the md4hotspotmod.zip. I guess I need to research what the best settings are for the app, there are a lot of setting options if I remember correctly.

All I did was flash it, is that all I need to do? The app is called Sprint Hotspot, blue and yellow?

No not at all just turn it on. Uses your phone number as password but you can change that. Treves has a lot more settings and configuration. This is the sprint hot spot and you just turn the switch to on.

I completely agree, but I thought it mentioned he was having trouble with it. I haven't used either much, but they both seemed to work equally as well when I did use them. The native hotspot is easier to use too.
Driving back to Houston right now and trying to use the native Hotspot. It says the laptop is connected but we're not able to access the Internet. Any suggestions?

Tried to connect using a tablet, same thing, it connects to the phone but no Internet access. Maybe it's just that the phone doesn't have a strong enough signal, hard to believe the signal on my old evo was stronger than on this phone.

Set the password up and enter it. It should work right away. It uses the phone number as the default password but you may need to change it.
