I wanted to buy Roam Control, but google pulled it from the market
I went to the Roam Control Website, and dl'ed the apk from the link the Dev provided, but it prompted for a license, and when I selected the "buy" option, it reported app not found, and I was unable to buy it
Any ideas on how to get this app bought and working?
Dev's note from website:
NOTE (11/29/2011): I received an email today from Google indicating that Roam Control was removed/suspended from the market. I did not receive any explanation, other than it was "due to a violation of the Developer Content Policy." I'm working on getting the app restored, however I've come to understand that Google is incredibly unresponsive in these situations. If I cannot reinstate the app, I will certainly make it available in some other fashion. To those who have already purchased the app, I certainly do not expect anyone to pay for it a second time. As a temporary measure, the latest version of the app can be downloaded here.

that was his temporary solution to the ppl who already bought the app. it sucks that you are willling to give him money for his awesome app but google wont let you, or even explain why. the android market pisses me off sometimes. i have paid for so many apps that arnt there anymore

The only app I ever bought and the reason I rooted. I hope it survives the transition I need to make to GB.
I put two new versions of Roam Control in the market...one free version that will work for users that previously purchased, and one new paid version. See here for details:

Excellent news MrGreg. Hope the big G leaves you alone. Even though I need the app less than I used to, it's invaluable sometimes.

Very cool, thank you for this. I have to use this when I'm at the in-laws place or I'm hosed. Any chance there is anything new in the city of Chicago? I haven't tried this lately, but I frequent a place near O'Hare and Sprint doesn't get good reception inside the building. I would LOVE to be able to roam on VZW while here, but I know there was a note before that we can't roam in Chicago.

I may have some information regarding Samsung roaming in Chicago, TX, FL, and PR in the upcoming weeks. No guarantees yet, but I have a few things to explore...

You sir, have made my day!!! Looking forward to any news you can provide.
And roam control is gone again??
http://sites.google.com/site/roamcontrol/
The developer says it got pulled again and that he's looking into alternative distribution methods. He has the .apks up for people who bought it in the market now.
At this point I would paypal him $5 for the app and license!!

the roam control app is on the applanet market (black market) you can download it at applanet (dot) net,

Looking for the legit version. Bookmarking this page in hopes that someone or the dev comes up with a solution soon! Have my 11115 prl but it feels worthless without roam control...
I would share mine as I never use it... but its a paid app and that is frowned upon here... me and my wife both use the same apk though.. I bluetoothed the apk to her phone and it works fine for both of us...

I would like to have something working for now since it is not available for purchase at this point. I am really hurting without it. When im at work my signal is very bad to the point that i miss phone calls and texts come late. I could force roam and be able to have my signal back... If the dev does not want the app distributed at this point (while its not on the market) i guess i will have to respect that. It is his work afterall. I am hoping the dev can straighten this out soon or give us an answer. I am in great need of it.
You can download from the post above my last post and when the dev figures out when and where you can uninstall and buy the paid app. That's what I'm doing.

Thank you for the response. I read somewhere that the apps on there sometimes have undesired things packed into them (ie viruses, malware)... Do you have to download the applanet app to download from there? When i tried to view the site, it kept trying to download an applanet.apk... Seems fishy to me...
A much awaited app came out last night and the sad thing is we get weired notices when we try to install the app. I for one got "Not available in my region" , some people also got software updating notices. Really don't know what's going on....is this another Nokia Lumia thing or what? Just pray it isn't.
Can someone please explain this for us.

I can install it on my HTC Trophy. Seems kind to be region restriction and not per device.
Its the international version of Game Time, a app I've been complaining about since last year.
It seems they included live games in the international version, but the US version is still crippled. However no one can verify because no more games can be shown since the season is over with and the play offs are going on.

As some of you already know, Rogers did not receive the 12085 firmware update which addressed the purple hue issue that all North American Lumias suffered from since their launch.
I tried reaching Nokia via twitter and Rogers. Nokia never replied and Rogers said they are still waiting for the firmware to arrive from Nokia so that they test it.
I then sent am email to Nokia and was told later on that someone from the Service Recovery department will call me. They called me yesterday and pretty much did not know when the firmware will be released and told me to set the brightness to medium and wait!!! I said why do I have to do that while the AT&T customers got treated in much more timely manner. Why are Rogers customers left in the dark?! The representative had no answers and kept telling me the same things I mentioned above.
I finished with her and decided to email Nokia's CEO. YES! Stephen Elop himself. I sent him an email and told him about this and how unacceptable it is given that our US neighbours got the issue fixed a month ago. I also told him how frustrated I was with the Service Department not knowing anything nor being able to help.
Guess what?! He replied to me while ccing a couple of people in the reply email. He apologized for this and told me that someone from his team will assist me.
I received a call today in the morning from the manager/head of the service recovery department and I was offered a brand new Lumia 900 from the newest batch which does not suffer from the purple hue issue. They will ship it to me soon. Later on in the day, Mr. Elop emailed me again and told me that he checked the firmware update's status and that it is now in Rogers labs being tested and that it should be released in the coming weeks.
I thanked Mr. Elop for his assistance and told him that I will keep him informed of these bugs harming the brand and their flagship device.
So now all you Rogers customers have an update on this issue. Hopefully you will get the firmware update soon.
That's good news. And shows how the power of one can move mountains. Glad you focused your energy in the right direction.

I received the new one a day after talking to the manager and guess what? The new one still has the purple hue problem!!! The new so-called "batch" still does not have calibrated screens. I even doubt there is something called "new batch".
I am going to keep the new one for sure, send the old one, and talk back to the manager and see what she's going to do about it.

Elop said that the firmware is now in Rogers' testing labs and Rogers tweeted me back a while ago saying they are looking for an end-of-July release so maybe this will end up true.
I am still going to corner that manager and exert pressure just to see what she'll do given that she assured me like 5 times that the phone she is sending me does not have that problem anymore and I kept telling her are you sure? And she's respond saying yes.
I really find myself making them a favour by wasting my time giving them feedback so that they can better their sales/customer satisfaction!
Called the manager today and she was very apologetic since apparently the service center in New Market (Flextronics) sent me a phone from the old batch.
They are sending me a new batch phone now from Ajax which is where Nokia Personnel are.
Will keep everyone posted.

See, with me... Every time I've talked to them, they tell me to send it in, and tell me it'll take 1-3 weeks to get my phone back...
I'm self-employed, have a company to run, and couldn't go 1 hour without my phone (let alone 1-3 weeks)... It's simply not an option... Maybe I need to write Mr. President at Nokia and see what'll happen.
Received the new batch Lumia 900 today.
To my surprise, the firmware version is unique and nowhere to be found elswhere online. The same applies for the OS.
OS Version: 7.10.8779.8
Firmware: 2175.2301.8779.12222
The purple hue is fixed!!!! The marketplace icon is different than the 2 other Lumias I have from Nokia and I was able to update Nokia Drive to 3.0
So far, Nokia is doing very well in terms of service and customer satisfaction!

International - It's an unlocked "SmarTone" phone that I understand is out of Hong Kong.
I have an International release of the Lumia 900 (an unlocked Rogers device purchased outright from Hong Kong) and I'm on 8773.
I really do hope that Rogers release the firmware very soon because the keyboard disappearance has been annoying the hell out of me lately. The kbrd either disappears or TellMe pops up without any reason (and I find myself swearing at it)!
xsever, did you ever notice on your earlier 900 pictures you took looked fine on the screen but when the picture was taken it was noticably darker? How about your new version.. how's the accuracy of the camera? (Well done getting a new device by the way).

Thats not directly a problem with 7.8 it is a problem how the app was coded. the developer of this particular app has done something wrong... his site has no valid url for a live tile so the OS searches again and again, because it can happen that the live tile is not found in the first attempt but this is the fault of the developer which has not fixed this issue where to find the new live tile picture...

That is because the official 7.8 update did not arrive to all WP owners...
Anyone on a US carrier -except for AT&T L900 users have not received the update ............................ yet.
T-Mobile cancelled the update for the 710...and probably for the Radar and HD7...
It is highly probable that AT&T or any other US carrier...will do the same

I had to do the Zune update cheat trick 4 times last night but finally ended up with 7.8 on my HTC Win 7 Pro.. Nice to have the aditional colors and resize of tiles. Wish it had bypassed the carrier and turned on ICS but oh well.
Custom ROMS
Does anyone know if this update works with a phone that currently has custom 7.8 on? I am running the deepshining 7.8ROM and is there much point in getting the official update? Does it fix the delay in opening apps?

Still no update? I have an at&t Lumia 900 and got a message today that an update is available. I think there was some issue with the update earlier this year and they halted the roll out so they could fix something. Once the fix was made I guess they started rolling out the update slowly. I actually called at&t a couple of weeks ago and the guy I spoke with was clueless about Windows Phone 7.8. He kept swearing my phone was up to day. Then he put me on hold and spoke to several other people who were about as clueless. I really don't understand why people work in tech support if they have no interest in the device they are supporting.
Got It, But No Bluetooth Share
I got the update when plugging into Zune. No problems..However, still no availabilty of Nokia Bluetooth Share in the Marketplace. Marketplace still says not available for my device. I hate to say this, being a long time Windows Phone user, but this Bluetooth Share fiasco is a joke. Can no one get their act together any longer? I realize this is a Microsoft/Nokia issue but it is laughable now. Bluetooth Share continues to be hyped on the Nokia site as a benefit of 7.8. Well then, where is it?????????????????????????
I updated via Zune my ZTE Tania easy, in 15-20 minutes. New WP 7.8 is great, i like it.:highfive:
According to this source, LG has not released any good info on if or when we will see the update, unlike many other manufacturers have stated.
http://m.techradar.com/news/phone-a...l-5-0-release-date-when-can-i-get-it--1257804
Yeah I saw that as well this was my first LG may be my last if this is true
Who cares until its a week plus since the other manufacturers release L? The other guys may have a approximate date but that means nothing (the past proves this statement). For all we know lg will be the first non nexus device to get it pushed out.
Good news? http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/lg-g3-android-lollipop-update-may-land-by-end-of-2014-24-10-2014/
Even once it's released. How many will actually update before a root method is out there for it. lol
Do you think T-Mobile might lock the device down when it releases this update? If they don't, does that make it easier to root? I am just one of those impatient always want the new shiny thing guys
i see a nexus 6 in my future. i am going to wait for the officail lollipop release for the nexus 4 (my back up phone) then install that, sell the G3 and put the money toward my nexus 6..... i tried but i just cant get used to the skins, and i miss cynaogenmod with a working camera.

Man I'm in the same boat. Using n5 and debating selling the g3. Good hardware laggy software. I'd keep it and use aosp if I knew it wasn't still a month or two away from working camera and BT. AND I DON'T KNOW THAT lol just missed aosp.
I dont understand why people say the g3 is laggy. There's been post after post on how to get rid of any lag. Turn ART on. Reduce the scale of the animations. Blah blah blah. Read the forums. The phone might not be fast out of the box, but there's simple ways to make it faster. These devs will get the Roms done as long as everyone would search their forums instead of asking the same questions over and over again. Everyone is jumping ship because they don't have the ROM they want. Just be a little more patient. If you wanted a phone that's more on the cutting edge you should have bought or stayed with you nexus phone.
Really tho, with LGs last update, all that lag is literally gone.
Looks like we are supposed to get android lollipop by the end of the year! That's less than 2 months from the release! http://m.gsmarena.com/newscomm-10031.php

Yay! That is great news! It would be awesome if we got it before most of the other phone manufacturers. Thanks for the update.
This is just another rumor. "An lg rep said we should get it before the end of the year. "

I agree. I really love the g3 but am really wanting to install a fresh rom like cloudy but am not going to bother if we are getting this update. I can't wait for this version and for someone to do a nice clean no bloat lollipop rom!
