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,
MrGreg

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

Ok i have PRL 60683 and I'm rooted, I have installed raom control 1.7 and how do I know if I'm roaming or not cause I still have my 3g icon there and nothing comes on saying that I'm roaming. I am rooted. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried the same setup and used 1.7 but even though it said it was working, it wasn't. Someone then told me that the newer versions had this issue so I found a copy of 1.4 and now it really does work now.
Find an older copy and you will be good to go!

Pirated versions of the app do not work (except for version 1.4 as you discovered). It's not an issue with the newer versions of the app. Unfortunately the app was pulled from the market, but I'm trying to get it reinstated.

alright thanks please let us know if its back on the market, for now I will try to find version 1.4 and see.
ok looks like version 1.4 is working but why can't I roam for any type of data even 1x is not working.
RC seems a little flakey on my phone. But then switching between 2G and 3G manually on my phone seems a little flakey too. I'm running PRL 11115 and I get 3G roaming. Where I live I have horrible 3G, at nights and weekends I get less then 50Kbps down. I switch to roaming, my phone changes towers and I get 1.3 Mbps. After toggling roaming, I reboot and then I can get 3G roaming. If I don't reboot I will just the roaming triangle and I can make calls but no data. Not all roms show 1x when in 2G mode. Stock rom will always show 3G, don't know if it is setup to show the roaming triangle, but you should get the beeps from roam guard telling you are roaming. I guess Sprint took a page from ATT's and Apple's play book in regards to reporting signal.
I'm running RC from the market, 1.7.
WoW, i didn't even realize its been pulled from the market. Anyway i paid so my version is 1.7 and it works great, i have to use it daily while at work. Sprint just doesn't reach all the areas i travel to and Verizon is there to lend a hand, lol.

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.

Of you have not already, try updating your PRL. After that maybe try changing to a custom PRL for the sake of troubleshooting. I am currently using 11119

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.

No, it gets absolutely NO signal of any sort when trying to force roam.

Not sure if its just the carrier here. I've had this trouble on 2 different ROMs and the millisecond I wipe and re-flash I get data back. Some people have the same thing, others have not a clue in hell what were talking about.
Check your APN setting. Under setting- more setting- mobile network - APN.
What ROM are you on now?
If not call your carrier operator.

I don't have that option, task&ktoonsez aokp jellybean. Had problems on cm10 nightlies and this. This ROM is epic awesome but I can't not have data. I had stock ROM rooted on stock lf9 radio, never un-rooted and updated. Not a single problem for months. Put cm10 on and within the first week, no data. Re flashed, still none. Flashed all 4 radio versions, then lost phone service. Flashed aokp last Monday, good until I woke up this morning. Went to bed last night with 20mbps 4glte connection, phone never moved, woke up with no data. I can get 3g once every 2 hours or so at a bandwidth of .6kbps ( speed test certified).
Try calling your network operator. Or you can reflash stock firmware and see if problem persist.
But CM10 by default has a wrong APN setting (For me) and I just change according to the right one and it is perfect now.
But reflash stock.one and try.

My friend is having a lot of issue with data in NJ with sprint. Maybe the they are testing LTE which is causing issues?
Data is back. titanium backup of user apps+data, backed up the built in launcher to SD, wiped, flash, gapps. Data working and phone is like I never left. Going to use all of the dev logging and track what I do day to day to see what the hold up is here.

TO ALL!!!! this is a call to action. I too, like many others are experiencing unacceptable data speeds while on 3G and in great reception while using the Galaxy S III. the speeds I should be receiving are 1.5-3 MB/s but instead I am receiving around 128Kb/s in the city and within excellent service. We all have to pay a 'Premium Data Add-On' charges just to own these phones and this is unacceptable. Please write an Email to [email protected], vice president of customer experience at sprint and let him know what you are experiencing. Maybe if enough pissed off customers write, they will finally listen!
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:
