Force Roam Only found

---

Don't know if this has been posted before or not sorry if it has, I will not retype the post but here is the link: http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472011


Is it possible to make a program that when you click on it it changes the reg value to be able to switch to Roam Only and Back? I have no knowledge of doing this so I am asking

Thank you

What's wrong with choosing it from the Phone Settings menu (comm manager)? It's a few steps, but usually only takes me a few seconds.

That allows roaming (if I understand the setting you are referring to) not forced Roaming, I live in a area where there is a hint of Sprint Signal there is a 5 bar presence from US Cellular but my handset keeps jumping to Sprint I miss calls etc

My Palm 800W had a setting that would select Roam Only since it appears that we know which reg entry that needs modified I was hoping someone with software skills (not me) could write a small app.

Sorry, what I was talking about is after doing the hack and you have the Roaming Only ability, what's wrong with just choosing it from the Comm Manager settings dialog?

I actually switch from Sprint Only to Roaming Only on a regular basis, I've gotten very quick at making the change because I am used to to doing it.

What exactly does the CAB do? On the Sprint Touch Pro, its a single registry change. Is this CAB for other phones like the Verizon version or does it do something else as well? Just curious.

it creates the option in settings\phone\roaming for you to select roam only rather than going in and editing code. makes enabling and disabling easy.

Oh, so it does the registry hack only? So a more friendly install for those not comfortable messing with the registry?

Exactly. I've done the mod several times on different devices. My home in Michigan is a Sprint dead zone. It teeters on Sprint and roaming all the time. When I came back this time I noticed my Roam Only option was gone. There must have been an OTA update that changed it back to my surprise.

Well this time I just used a cab and plan to use it on my wife's Diamond. Much quicker.

anyone know if sprint phones can roam on ATT towers? when i visit my parents there is a sprint tower 2 miles away and even when forcing roam i get no service. they all have full service on their ATT phones. that was the reason i installed this cab but either it does not work or i cannot use ATT towers.

Tom,

No you cannot roam on ATT. Its different technology. GSM vs. CDMA.
You can roam on VZW and Alltell etc.
