Is anyone having problems while roaming?

In my house in the back I have no service and it roams and I get 1 bar. When I had my evo 3D it would roam with 3G, but this phone doesntlet the phone roam with data. Is anyone else having this problem and if so is there a fix yet?

Under network settings what is your roaming set to? Sprint or automatic?

force roam

Sprint is terrible in my area so I always force roam when im home and ive been doing this for about 6 months now with no problems, but Lately when I turn force roam on I get no service or 1 bar. Ive tried to reflashing roms and also updating profile and what not. Any help would be cool, thanks.

Maybe sprint saw how much force roam data you were using and cut you off

That'd probably what it is. At least they didn't cut you off for roaming too much.

Roaming

if i purchase roam control will i get fast 3g while roaming on verizons network or will it be slow. currently now when my phone goes into roaming i get very slow 3g data even if i have full bars

I always wondered how this works too

You have to use a prl that supports 3g roaming also. If your just using the prl that came with the phone then your prob only roaming on 1x even though the phone says 3g. Theres lots of threads on this matter however u might find some helpful info in this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906471 btw.....LTE roaming is impossible.

Besides roam control is there any other way to force roaming??

By loading a VZW PRL. There's a thread in the dev section with a bunch of them.

Or manually force your phone to only use the 850mhz band, which is basically what Roam Control does on the S3.

and how do i do that? can you please provide a link

Force roamimg without roam control

Is this possible? Could it be as simple as editing some strings in your folders. Just wondering because if there is a better way without buying roam control I'd try it. Also, wish the sprint diagnostics app had that included :/
Thanks

Are you talking about data roaming? As in settings>more>roaming>tick the box?

I want to force roaming. Not just enable roaming.

Restrict data

I am traveling to Europe this weekend. While I am over there, I would like to disable all mobile data on my phone. Occasional I would like to allow only one or two apps to connect to the network while restricting all others. Is there a way to do that? Maybe an app?
Thanks for your help.

You can disable your mobile data and just connect to WiFi
