[Q] Force Roaming

My question is this:
Is there any way to force the phone to roam?
Yesterday, I was at a location where I had virtually no data/voice connectivity but instead of going to roaming the phone kept looking for a 3G signal. At some point though the phone began to go into ROAMING mode and I was able to make a few phone calls and send/receive some text messages.
Soooooo, like my first question: Is there anyway to force the phone to roam if you are in a low/non-existent signal area?

Ok, I did some research and came across this app: http://www.roamctrl.com/purchase/
Anyone have experience with this app? It seems that this is what I need. I would like to hear some user experiences before I drop $4 on it. The app isn't on the market.

Search these forums for Roam Control. I believe there are some issues with certain builds and ICS. Make sure to check the threads. Here is site too. http://www.roamctrl.com/ Be judicious with roaming I've been reading about more people getting axed lately

Yeah, thanks for the info man. That is exactly where my search has led me. I have no intention to abuse the roaming. There are a few Sprint dead zones that I come across on occasion where using this app will really really help me.

Been using Roam Control here sine my Samsung Moment. It's been nothing but awesome FWIW.

Yep it rocks! And yea it's a bit wonky on the ICS builds... seems worse on some than others but can't really nail it down. I find it seems to be most reliable when set to reboot upon changing the setting.

Works on every rom I have run AFAIK. Been through aosp, mijjz, etc etc and currently run super Galaxy rom. Roam control is a great app to have!

you could always flash the Verizon .00001 prl... keep a sprint one to flash back to though so you're not ALWAYS roaming... this has worked well for me when I've been in poor service areas for a few hours..

Can someone try out a music streaming app for me?

Sup
Since everyone here is essentially on the same hardware and network, I want to know if anyone else is having the same issues I am.
I can not get the 1.fm app to work on the Sprint network (3G or 4G). It will only work if I am on a WiFi network.
I enjoy listening to Chillout Lounge, and I'd like to listen to the station in my car, but I keep getting a message saying "Internet Connection Lost.....Reconnecting".
I want to see if it's a problem with my phone, a problem with the sprint network, or maybe a problem with my modem firmware.
If anyone can get it to work, let me know what Modem you have.
Thanks.

Well considering the first 3 post on the download page talks about connection issue I doubt it is just you. How is your 3g and 4g connections? Do you have a problem with other streaming apps?

My 3G and 4G connections are quite good actually. I've even tethered my laptop through 4G and used RDP to connect to a remote machine and it seems quite stable. RDP can certainly have issues if the connection has issues.
But I've also seen issues when tying to use Rad.io. Which makes me think it's not just a software issue.

Okay what about like Pandora or Ihart or any of those? I could be a memory issue on your phone but I doubt it. It just might be how those apps work are written etc.

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the help, but have you taken a moment to load the app I mentioned? It would be a lot more helpful if someone can test this app on their phone.
I honestly don't care about Pandora. It's not the program that is giving me a problem. What I need is for someone to confirm they are having similar issues that I am having with the programs I am trying to run. I don't want to run a ton of tests on my phone before it is determined the issue is even in my phone.
Just to let you know, Pandora does seem to work, but I'm not trying to get that program to work.

How on earth does that lead to more questions. You are seriously over-complicating a simple request. Download the app, try using it on the cell network, let me know the results. That's all I am asking for.
I'm just trying to collect information. You are doing everything except give me the information I am requesting. So if you aren't willing to help me by doing this simple task and give me the results, then please go away.

I'm sorry, sometimes the only way to get the message across to people is to just be blunt about it. I was just trying to get some information that he was refusing to provide.
He was making suggestions that were aimed at diagnosing my phone. Before I can take that step, I need to determine if the problem is even in my phone. For that, I need people to try the app on their phones. If the majority of people that test the app say it is working for them, then I can determine my next step and go from there.
I'm not asking for anyone to do anything that would harm their phone or have them invest more than a couple of minutes of effort. The reviews on the Play Store page do not provide the information I am looking for. They are just commenting that it doesn't work. I am trying to find commonality.
If you were cooking something and go up to another person and ask them if what you are cooking needed a little salt, and without even doing a taste test, they start asking if I used a lot of garlic or have the temperature set up to high, then they are not being helpful. And having to remind them that all you want is their opinion on the salt, and they still refuse to do a taste test, it gets a little annoying.

Thanks,
I just noticed something new when I tried to play that station
While at home, when I play a station, I get a little message saying "Lost Internet Connection....reconnecting" and it does try to reconnect, but just keeps looping the same error. Now that I'm at work, I get a new message saying "Internet Connection Error. Please try again later" and it stops trying to play anything.
This kinda leads me to thinking it might be an issue with the actual sprint network in my area. But I'd still like some more people to try it out to get a clearer picture.

Other streaming apps are NOT working. I already stated the Rad.io will not stream the same stations in post #3.
And those reviews don't have enough information to conclude it is a problem with the app. Only that it is not working for them. If I could talk to those people I would, but I can only talk to the people here, which is why I want to see if anyone else has the same problem. If I can find someone with the same problem, then we can go to the next step, which would be looking for the common elements (modem, rom, location, etc)
Knowing if the app works or not for other people is far more helpful for me. Through all this, have you even tried the app on your phone? Hell, you might even like the app because most of those stations play some really good stuff you don't normally hear on a typical radio station.

Trust me I understand what you are saying in post 5# you answered Pandora another streaming app is working. I know you don't want or care about Pandora it was to test if Sprint was the issue which appear to not be the case. And honestly at the time I was not in a position to d/l or test had crappy reception at where I was when I answered you the last time. And at home is bogus because I have a Airrave. I am at work now and d/l to test. To me reviews show a possible issue seeing one was like 2 days ago complaining about the same thing even some of the good comments suggest connection issues. (did have another review but after rereading it the user had other issues)
Testing right now got 5 or 6 bars 4g and same issue and I am in the bean. So I stand by what I said in post 7 (See screenshot)

Thank you. That screenshot tells me a lot. I am assuming you are rooted, so I'm hoping someone who isn't rooted can try it (fat chance of that considering this is XDA, but I can hope).
And one of the issues with those reviews is there is almost no mention of what network they are running on, so I can't use them to determine if it's a problem with the program on certain networks.
The reason I didn't care for Pandora is because it doesn't work like the 1.fm program (or other internet radio station apps). Pandora can't tune into the broadcast stations I like to listen to.

I understand they don't work the same but streaming is streaming proves network is good (which is my only point). I know there is a lot of unknown with the reviews but it can be a indication that it isn't you.
And to answer your question yes I am on TPR a stockish ROM.

A very weird problem.. I need some help with!

Ok, So I have an Epic 4g flashed to Cricket, I have made everything work(mms,test,talk,ect.) I have it on Android 4.1.2. My problem is I only get 3G and its not very dependable. I live in Phoenix, A.Z. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

I don't use a MVNO, so I am not sure which regular troubleshooting steps would clear away your carrier settings. (I'm thinking using EFS Clear in Odin is the only concern, but that is sometimes needed for modem issues.)
Based off that rom's thread, you must be using the NS4G modem. Since your issue is with connectivity:
Perform a CWM backup of your current setup.
Flash an Epic modem rom and FC09 modem. (You can flash the modem using CWM. There's a thread in the dev forum w/ links.)
Try testing connection again.
I'd normally tell a Sprint Epic user to boot into FC09 multiboot and update profile & PRL, but I don't even think the PRL update would work for you. I'd then say, start from scratch by using Odin to flash FC09 with repartition checked. If they still had issues with connectivity, then I'd recommend using EFS clear in Odin when reflashing either just the FC09 modem or the entire FC09 tar.
Because you are on another carrier, I'm weary of suggesting you use Odin so quickly. If you haven't already, dive into your phone settings and document your carrier specific info you changed to get it working. This way, if you end up doing something that resets your original changes, then you can reconfigure it.
So give the suggestion that is listed above a try.

Since I'm very much a noob myself, I'm only tossing this out to possibly trigger an idea for someone else: Would perhaps the issue lie in the Build.prop or one of those similar files? I've poked around so many of them I can't remember which hold what tidbits of info... I know the Build.prop holds most of the primary carrier info, but I seem to recall another one that stored a bunch of info for a bunch of the other carriers (though that might have been for roaming and may not be of any help here).
*shrug* Otherwise, I's gots nothin' lol

[Q] Application requires to be located by means of Cell Phone

Ok, here is the thing....
First off, my phone is an AT&T SGS III running "The Devils Reject_v7" just fine. The application I am referring to in the title is UltimatePoker, a licensed Poker site in Nevada. The requirement is that your cellphone needs to be located and trackable in the State of Nevada to participate in playing online poker.
Now, this works fine with the above mentioned ROM. It is an Android v4.1.1. Now, whenever I try to upgrade to a version higher then that, i.e. 4.2, 4.2.2, 4.3, The login into the Poker site will fail with the message "Cellphone cannot be located" switching back to the above ROM will allow access again.
Here what I tried so far...
1. Changed the Modem to different versions on the above ROM....no difference, still working
2. Changed the ROM and applied all different modems I could find .... No Success, it always failed.
My question would be,
1. What difference is between rooted Stock and "The Devils Reject_v7" which prevents stock from being found?
2. If it is some mod in the kernel, can this mod be implemented in rooted stock or even in never versions of android.
I know, this is not really a topic many folks might be interested in, but maybe someone will just look at it....

Firstly, you're in the wrong section, this should probably be in q/a, but anyhow, some people have problems with GPS when upgrading to higher versions, and i'm assuming the app uses gps to track, so have u confirmed it working before running the app?

the app is a windows app and requires the phone to ne found not by GPS but by triangulation. The online poker site has my cellphone number and when I logon they request from the service provider (in my case AT&T) the current location of the phone. AT&T will use triangulation if on 3G. If I am on LTE the triangulation is not working. I have to use as APN wap.cingular to make it work. And that's where I get lost. I know that the SGS3 is using a combined 3G-4G chip. this is probably the problem. HTC does not has the issue as far as I know...
Thanks for the answer though.
Since this is my first OP do you know how to move it to Q&A?
Thanks

Hmm... to be fair sometimes a lack of response is more a lack of confidence in any particular response that might be given. At times repercussions get ...awkward... for saying things that others might find ill informed, and as such a tendency to not say anything unless rather certain on the answer develops.
Anyhoo - I hadn't noticed the fact that the mobile network state listed itself as disconnected when connected to wifi... but ultimately (opens self up to possibly saying something stupid...) I can think of no good reason certain functions of the phone (at least mms or the tmobile app) would depend on mobile data being connected while wifi disconnected. Doing a quick test on my end - both of these functions seem to be behaving as expected while on wifi (tested with wifi calling NOT on, not sure that would throw a wrench in anything but you never know) - does the issue exist across wifi sources? That sort of thing might be something to bring up to a TMo service rep - not sure they will be of any help but given the response you've had here it couldn't be much worse, right?

127 people viewed this and not even a simple yes or no or even post a link to a thread thats relevant to my problem? Posted this on another forum this morning and got 7 people that don't know if you can but are still trying to help me figure it out. Thought the whole reason for these website were to share ideas, develop things for the community and help other out with their issues. It's not like I didn't search all over the Internet before coming as a last resort instead of thinking of it and just posting it here first. What a pathetic place to get help. Have a nice day doing whatever it is ya'll people do.

Thank you for your response. I finally called Tmobile and they told me that their apps will only work on mobile data and are not meant to work over wifi even though they say my mobile data will always be on it just goes into a low power state and that MMS has to be set to auto receive which somehow was not checked. Everything seems to work fine. Just one question for you. Did i read that you said you could get on your tmobile account app with WiFi on? Again thank you very much for answering me back. Just was have a bad morning because i get alot of MMS messages for work and it got to me... Also I'm one of those guys that no believe in a stupid answer. If someone's trying to help no matter what they say I'm just greatful for the help

I was able to, but perhaps it was just a trick of app cache as opposed to it actually working... strange they require data, you'd think if it was that much of a need they'd force it to engage and wake up the low power state instead of forcing you to turn off wifi. Ah well, learn something new everyday Sorry I wasn't more help
