Hello fellow forum buddies. I have a Samsung Epic 4G that is currently rooted on Stock DI18. I tend to switch back and forth to the DK28 leak and flash roms quite often when I get bored or what not lol. I have a gift card left over from the holidays with $3.41 left on it (just a regular visa gift card). Since I'm probably never going to use $3.41 at any store or restaurant I thought hey I could use it on the Android Market. I have most of the paid apps for my rooted device that are a must have except widget locker (still debating). Wonder if there is any other good - great apps out there that are a must have for this phone. I also have ADW Launcher EX and Launcher Pro Plus. Just thought I'd throw this question out there to see what I could find. I appreciate everyone in this forum and what you do that help me and others learn about this phone and other phones. On a side note I found out today that my wife and I are having a little baby girl!!! Thanks for all your help.

Thanks man and yes I know they don't stay little for long lol. I either need to hit the gym or buy a gun for when she starts bringing boys over lol. Yeah I have root explorer and that is probably my favorite app I have that I bought. Do you have widget locker and if so is it worth it?
If you ever find your self with ****ty reception I recommend roam control. This allows you to force your phone to roam.

I love Roam Control. Spent a weekend in the mountains and was getting terrible service. Roam Control helped save the day.

Roam Control will definitely be on the list for the future. Don't plan to go anywhere that I don't already have service in right now. I do have a quick question though to you or to anyone for that matter. An AOSP lockscreen for Rooted Stock DI18. Anyone have the link. I won't be able to search. My turn to make dinner but that's what XDA email notifications are for lol. Thanks.

I'm considering flashing my EVO to cricket..its already rooted. But I have some questions....are there specific roms that have to be used with cricket? Example..I'm running mik3d right now...can I run a sense rom on cricket? I can easily figure out how to unlock and flash to cricket but i don't know about the rom thing. Any help is greatly appreciated

Not an expert in this matter but my best bet is, no. I don't think that you will need a - cricket - branded Rom, the configuration you'll so to force the phone to that network has nothing to do with the Rom itself, but some apps like the Sprint branded ones might not work.
Just my 2ct.

Don't do it man. The service is REAL spotty. I know sprints isn't much beetter a lot of the time, but its a major step down. If you d/l and surf a lot you'll hate it. I did it to my last one, and got a 3vo for the line, and low and behold I'm back w spritn service and my og evolution runnin decks 1.3/ Lee combo. I get 1550 quadrant scores overclocked, and 1450's at 998w smartass. My d/l speeds are high 4s w 1-3 uploads w wimax. I couldn't get close to half that w cricket. The quadrants comparable, but that doesn't affect your data. Its your choice bro, but I strongly suggest keeping sprint and waiting for lte service and devices. There's gonna be some sick ass phones coming out. Good luck either way.

Whoever said yes is ignorant. Epic 4G Touch is a WiMax only phone.
Thanks ... so theirs a specific chip that is built in ??? and what rom are your running cuz my phone reboots alot on wicked sensation rom V1 ( and have u test it out, if so do you have the same issue?)
Thanks
No it is not possible. The exynos is only compatible with WiMax. That is why the skyrockets (LTE SIIs) have snapdragons in them. Not to mention the Epic Touch doesn't have any LTE radios in it.

You guys make me smile.
But on topic, if one were to access a better network it wouldn't be through Wimax at all. You say this phone is Wimax only, do you not have 3,2- or 1g?

I apologize, have I misunderstood something?
I am obviously not saying this phone can access LTE..... But saying it is ONLY compatible with WiMAX is false, unless Ive been using WiMAX for 3,2, and 1g for half a year without knowing and without the WiMAX radio not being on most of the time.... And WiFi, albeit related is still... Not WiMAX....
I see more and more of this misinformation and it is not only wrong, its counter-productive. If you know the answer to his question (no, in this case) tell him. No need for arrogant speculation on top.. Or something...
The end

Had me all the way up to tethering with the ps3. I can't try to recreate that since I don't have a ps3.

Tethering WiMAX for something as demanding as ps3 or xbox will likely be a heavy load. Keep in mind , we have a 1.5 Mbps uplink cap.. Its rough, but thats part of why we get our price...

The phone will automatically update it's PRL and will automatically roam. However, you can't force roaming and the roam control app doesn't work for the S3 yet. There are some tweaked prls that can force the phone over to Verizon; use them at your own risk.

Not entirely true. Although it was a real ***** and took more time than it was worth, I did get roam control to work with the s3. Hackd vzw Prl is soo much easier tho. Especially if ur on stock or a tw rom, don't even need the pc

The phone can write a prl to itself without pc help. ##3282# in the dialer, under view. There is an option for PRL Write. Rename ur PRL file to "test.prl" and put it on the root of your sd card. press the prl write option in the data menu and it will apply it

2nd that - would love to know how you got roam control to work - which version of the software and how you did it. I tried and it didn't work. For now the manual PRL write via ##DATA# works great tho!
ill try and replicate it tonight
As I said it was a real ***** and only worked on a tw based rom. Haven't got it to work on aosp roms. I'll go back to tw a lIttle later and try it so I can give some detail. I'll say I'm pretty sure it was the latest version of rc. I also used another app which shall remain nameless. (We''ll just call it Pucky Latcher),in addition to breaking the license I think also seemed to play a role in making it function as I went back and used it several times before roaming actually worked like it should. Ill post here when I figure out all the exact steps it takes.
do you mean an option to manually force roam? if so, someone was/is working on it

No success as of yet. I flashed a sense based rom and with all the same options for networks and set everything to the best of my abilities and still no change. Six bands of signal strength in roam mode. I have 3g showing, great fast web access and still no phone in roaming. I get the same recorded message I stated in OP.
I'm baffled. Should I try a nandroid restore of the phone rooted, but with the stock rom and then flash back to the rom I'm running now?
Help is much appreciated at the moment.

What radio version are you using.

Two questions. First, can you RECEIVE calls when roaming, and second, when roaming, do you dial the area code when you try to make a call (I know it sounds like a dumb question, but......)?
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

Can't think of much else. I'd try and flash back to a Sense ROM and update your profile and PRL (since you can't do this from CyanogenMod or any other AOSP ROM). Might be something that can be fixed in QPST (also something you can only access from a Sense ROM, from your phone dialer) but I have never messed with those settings. Hopefully somebody else will chime in. Need to see if you can receive incoming calls while roaming, though. Also appears that you don't have the newest radio, but the one you have isn't all that old so I doubt that's the issue.

Is the radio used for data as well? Because I'm getting great throughput on the internet when I'm roaming. Unfortunately my knowledge isn't extensive enough to know. I'm an infant at this at the present time. I don't know how deeply I wish to go.....I'm just having fun learning new stuff.
I appreciate your thoughts on this tho'. Who knows, maybe I've stumbled upon some strange bug.

Haven't checked the in-coming call as yet, just too much on my plate at the moment.
What I meant by the radio question is this: If I am getting great internet/web performance in a roaming area, it tells me data is getting through. Can I safely assume that the telephone function uses the same data stream to perform calls? The reason I ask is because if they are, then there must be some switch/command/whatever that is in the wrong state and must be flipped back to where it belongs. Of course, I'm sure I'm over simpIifying because I'm not well versed enough in the language and functions. Is that clearer?
Thanks again for your help.:good:
