Quick "Roaming Only" App or Script?

[digiblur]

Does anyone have a quick shortcut to force a phone to Roaming Only instead of having to dig through the menus.

I get crappy signal at home but Alltel has a tower across the highway from our neighborhood. I don't talk on the phone much at home but the rare times I do, it would be awesome if I didn't have to run outside.

I'm looking for something where I can just mash a shortcut on my screen using one of the various launcher apps out there that will toggle the phone from roaming only to automatic and back and forth.

Thanks.

Sorry, but I have to laugh. Most of the roaming problems here are phones that show roaming when they are not roaming, we want to get rid of the problem that you want!!!!! Maybe we should swap phones. When I put the new ROM onto my Hermes I got the full time roaming a couple days thereafter. you can alwasy try that.

There is one thing you can do to improve your signal, but it means that you will have to sacrifice your data connection if you have one.

This means that you will do a slightly modification to your phone where instead of looking for a EVDO/Rev. A connection it is only pointing to the CDMA towers such as for calls / text.

To do this you will have to enter your phones advanced menu.

I have Verizon and dial ##778 and a menu pops up on the dialer. I am not sure what number you dial for your respective carriers, but you can try searching and asking fellow experts.

You simply just make a quick switch that can be reverted back if needed.
I've done this and get more bars then before.
