Just wondering if there is a mod or app out there yet that allows for forced roaming or PRL switching on the Note 2? I've seen QBKING77 video on how to manually force roam just wondering if there's an easier way.

I've tried like 35 PRLs and they all had the same results(1xrtt with 1 bar) the only difference is some show I'm roaming while others don't. Is there something I suppose to install prior to PRLs like PRI?(mines 1.77)
I tried the 3G VZW data roaming hack and it was great...
I use CM 6.1 and occasionally use the forced roaming setting, but it only allows 1x data.
Is there a way to apply the 3g data hack to the forced roaming setting only? I mean, i want to keep my prl with sprint and when i choose to use vzw data (i.e. forced roaming in CM) get more than 1x...just like the hack???
the best of both worlds... anybody know how this can be done???
BTW: I am referring to techknowfiles hack here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073&page=144
also, i am aware of MrGreg's apk RoamControl...but this only enables 1x data (I am looking for full 3g like the hack)
I found several options that I thought would force roaming, but it never seemed to work.
I was at a lakehouse recently where sprint coverage was present, but weak, but my buddy's droid 1 (VZ) was solid. I thought I could force myself on Verizon, but wasn't able to.
Is this easily doable through software? Or did I just dream all this up?

Roam Control works for voice, but for data, it only allows 1x speeds. To get full 3g speeds while roaming, you need to flash the Verizon PRL.
im having same problem, when im on sprint signal 3g and 4g works fine, but when i roam im just getting 1x speed before i rooted my phone i had 3g speed while roaming but on the other roms i have tried only 1x,
is there a fix for this?
update: i flashed back to the original stock rom that i had backed up and im getting 3g speeds while roaming so I know it cant be a prl issue it has to be a flaw in peoples roms? can anyone confirm a actual rom that has 3g speed while roaming????
Hello everyone!
I downloaded and installed the 01115 PRL a few months back because it is explained that it would allow proper data roaming (not just 1x). But, whenever I attempted to use Roam Control to force roam, it didn't seem that it was switching to the Verizon towers. I realize that if I were to force roam all of the time, my contract would be cancelled. But, as we are all aware, there are times and places where Sprint 3g moves like molasses in January! I want to be able to switch to Verizon data on demand--ya know--when I'm in the mood.
If I install the 00001 PRL, would this give me the ability to actually force roam, or is the problem more software related? Does anyone use the 00001 PRL and have success in this regard? Is 00001 suitable for daily use, meaning, does the Epic Touch continue to use Sprint 3G without Roam Control?

00001 or 01337 will continuously roam on Verizon.
You won't see triangle on your phone.
I've been running 01337 for a week or so and it's amazing.

What is your roaming data usage on your Sprint account page? Are you concerned that Sprint will cancel your contract?
if they cancle u then u can move to a better carrier who cares i use it always on my evo 3d for the past 2 months 5 gigs last month and about 10 gigs so far this month
I noticed that I can no longer roam on my Sprint GS3. I used to be able to, back when I was using the rooted stock ROM, but now I just get no signal in places where I should have roaming coverage. I know this because my brother's GS3 will be roaming in an area where I'm showing no coverage.
I tried using the LI3, LG8, LG2, and LG9 radios. Have also tried several different ROMs, including AOKP, FreeGS3, and JellyBomb. I also had manually-loaded PRL of 11115, and then tried updating, which gave me 24006.
I also tried all the different tricks I'm aware of -- toggling airplane mode to see if it will choose a new network. And I've checked to make sure that roaming is allowed and isn't set to "Sprint only."
At this point, I'm thinking of going back to stock to see if that works. I'm not sure what to expect with that, though.
Has anybody experienced anything like this?
As far as I know, you arent able to roam on 3g. If you put the corporate prl on your phone, you can then roam on other carriers.
Oops, I should clarify. I can't roam at ALL... meaning no voice, no 1X data, nothing. It shows the "No signal" icon.
Make sure you have roamimg enabled in mobile network settings

Yes, I suffered the same thing yesterday. Until roam control is fixed I suggest looking at loading of Verizon prl in this situation. It is easy enough on this phone to do it and then switch to a sprint prl when you get back to your home area.
Also check Network settings, are you on "Automatic" or "Sprint"?
I had to toggle data and voice on and off until it gave me are you sure you want to roam message after that it started working.(In roam settings)
