Roam Control update!! 11-28-2013 ----( FORCED ROAMING WORKS ON SPRINT GS3 )---- - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys and gals!
Just wanted to let everyone know that MrGreg the developer of Roam Control updated it.
it now supports the Sprint Galaxy S3
I've already tried it and it does work!!
the site says that it doesnt work on jelly bean but it DOES work for me on CM10, my guess is touchwiz roms?
Here is the LINK to the Roam Control website.
Enjoy!!

you need to purchase the app to use it.

I got excited till I saw it doesn't support jelly bean :'( that's what I really need it for CM 10

It doesnt work. I am on the latest CM10 nightly with 25006 PRL. If I set the roam control app to roam only I just loose service. If I set it back to home or auto nothing happens and I still don't have service. If I reboot the phone I get service back. If the app is set to roam only, I get no serivce and then I reboot, I get service back...but its Sprint and not roaming even though the roam control app is still set to roam only.
I'll try this on a touchwiz rom to see if its any different.

It definitely is working for me, I'm using the 25006 prl. Thank goodness for roam control I have signal at work again

Yep all that is checked. Looks like it doesnt work on CM10.
I tried on a ICS rom (blazer rom 1.7) and it works. I can now force roam. I just cant get on Verizon 3G when roaming with either 12121 PRL or 24006.

......OOPS didn't notice that there is a new option in phone selections just for the S3. Now it works GREAT!!!

Confirmed on FreeGS3..thanks for the heads up OP

It's very useful when in a area with little to no Sprint coverage.
And I know on my og epic this app worked on asop and aopk.

Loving this. Using PRL 12121 I can now easily switch between Sprint and VZW 3G speeds. Check out the speed difference on my attached photo.

Dammit, no signal when roaming in Orlando. That sucks. Apparently Sammy devices only roam in 900MHz which is limited in FL and TX. That's stupid of Sammy.

Hmmm strange. It works just fine for me on CM10...

Not going to spend $4 on something that may or may not work.

for those of you who get no signal after switching you need to go into options in roam control and set it to reboot.
i thought it was obvious to reboot after selecting the phone but i guess not.

Anyone else get it or have a work around?
Are you using the stock app or wifi tether? I thought wifi tether is supposed to avoid tmo knowing that you are tethering.

try using a different browser on your pc.. that happens to me on time but with a galazy s2 and it was because i was using google chrome, so i swithc to a different browser and problem solved!!!! JUST FYI
Ok thanks ill try fire fox btw is there any settings in firefox I need to change?
That's interesting. I've been using Wi-Fi tether for over a year now, originally on my fascinate and most recently on my S3 without any problems. (My carrier is Verizon....my data usage is between 8-12gb a month.. .sometimes more) I think I'll just stick with that as opposed to the method posted in the OP.

Uhh not sure what you mean
Wifi tether is when your on a mobile data connection (4g/Edge) and you don't have Wifi...you turn it on and it acts as a router or hotspot and lets your laptop connect to it.
If your in an area with Wifi that you can connect to you don't need to use the app. The apps pretty much only for when your in a location w/o wifi.
Thanks man it works great, I was getting errors at first but after switching to the galaxy nexus gsm profile everything was all good :thumbup:

are you sure that you have 4g coverage in your area? if you can make absolutely sure that you do, then try downloading the app Phone Info from the play store and mess with the settings for network type.

Kansas City has LTE. I've been all over the city today and nothing changes. Even if there is no LTE, shouldn't 3G still work?

I've had that happen to me too around KU MED. I think the lte tower might be having issues. However i was out in olathe today and had great lte coverage. Im on stock lg8 rooted. I was worried up until today. I think we'll just have to wait till all the towers are up. I believe they only have about 20% completed here in KC so far.

I have the same issue. I get the 4g in the notification bar. Seconds later when trying to use it it goes back to 3g. I can't even run a full speed test with out it switching. I am in KC also and have try a numerous location. I am wondering if I have a defective phone I signal bars also change often when on 4g. One second full to one bar. I am on root stock lg8

Sprint's coverage map says we're blanketed in LTE coverage. I wonder what's going on. And shouldn't 3G work if it can't find an LTE connection?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
3g does work but it is a little annoying because it seems to take up to 15 secs to reconnect to 3g after disconnecting from 4g.
On a sidenote I was in a sprint store today. The Htc evo lte had 4g with 4 bars. I put my s3 in airport mode and back to see if it would connect to 4g but it still went to 3g. I did not have time to test the data connection on the evo.

Thanks man. I just wiped data and started again from scratch choosing S3 and it worked straight away. I did try S3 previously though to no avail...there hasn't seemed to be any rhyme or reason to what works and what doesn't. Hopefully this will stay stable. But even if it doesn't at least it usually will eventually with some fiddling, which is better than nothing I guess.
My 3g speed is around 1-1.5mps here. I've played Xbox 360 on live (call of duty mw3) with minimal lag.. was still very playable. I know 3g is hit or miss for alot of people though

Still flaky, have to stop and start it a couple times just like before...works about the same on the SIII option as it did on the Nexus CDMA/LTE option. Suck.
I find it starts to act weird as soon as you try to enable access control or security. I normally use it just with WPA2 turned on, and it's flaky. Not going to use it unprotected though, don't want to get an STD

Just wondering would this call for termination or is it what it says which is unlimited.. Done the Verizon prl hack only because I have very poor signal at home and work.. Even have the air rave and it's not even worth the time of use.... Soon might look to another carrier.. PS. waiting on the Galaxy Note ii before

Lol its not a hack.. But doesnt matter if it says unlimited as its only 300mb while roaming.. And you cant just call and tell them to look at your data you need to wait for sprint to call you and give you a warning before you can get out termination fee free.. Not to mention if you have other lines on your account that do not use as much data roaming they might not let you cancel them all without a etf but only the line thats using too much roaming data.. Not to mention if you have a airrave they might not let you off the hook at all since the airrave is to ikprove signal and you shouldnt be roaming so ur doing something that doesnt seem right..

If you're looking to get terminated for roaming too much, stop using 4G and continue to roam on Verizon's 3G network until you get a letter or a call from Sprint to tell you to find another provider.

Even if you use 300MB a month, if it is not the majority of your data, they probably won't care. From what I can see, you are doing pretty well as you are able to use 6GB of 4G data and 1.3GB of 3G data.

Slow as hell 3g

I just got the s3 and I'm getting crappy 3g speeds. 230K download and upload. Is there a way to up the speed? Had boost mobile and was getting 1mb download speed in same area

Ya, I do. but... I was bored and wanted to cry too. All the fun cool high speed LTE threads keep getting closed, so we're stuck with fake JB and I have crappy 3G threads.
lol

Yeah with s3 last night I got up to 1mb. But when i got home it hit 4g and went to 8mb download speed. Then it went back to 3g. And way to toggle 3g and 4g

welcome to Sprint my friend.
My speeds rock

3G Speeds
Sprint data speeds do vary and sometimes it is comparable to the effects of satellite Internet via Direct TV in the heart of the winter. Although I will say that when it works, it really works. These threads are no different than those on the Sprint Community forums.
I will say that if the network upgrades do improve service even to the point where are 3G service is consistent all the time even when we expect 4G speeds then it is worth the wait.
My speeds are attached.
wait, you missed the other 2,893,123.34 threads about this already?
Well got 4g down the street
