Very cool, thank you for this. I have to use this when I'm at the in-laws place or I'm hosed. Any chance there is anything new in the city of Chicago? I haven't tried this lately, but I frequent a place near O'Hare and Sprint doesn't get good reception inside the building. I would LOVE to be able to roam on VZW while here, but I know there was a note before that we can't roam in Chicago.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGreg:
I may have some information regarding Samsung roaming in Chicago, TX, FL, and PR in the upcoming weeks. No guarantees yet, but I have a few things to explore...

And roam control is gone again??
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmchssc:
http://sites.google.com/site/roamcontrol/

The developer says it got pulled again and that he's looking into alternative distribution methods. He has the .apks up for people who bought it in the market now.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtoysrock:
At this point I would paypal him $5 for the app and license!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyal8er:
the roam control app is on the applanet market (black market) you can download it at applanet (dot) net,
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtoysrock:
Thanks for the heads up.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basketthis:
Looking for the legit version. Bookmarking this page in hopes that someone or the dev comes up with a solution soon! Have my 11115 prl but it feels worthless without roam control... :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
I would share mine as I never use it... but its a paid app and that is frowned upon here... me and my wife both use the same apk though.. I bluetoothed the apk to her phone and it works fine for both of us...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basketthis:
I would like to have something working for now since it is not available for purchase at this point. I am really hurting without it. When im at work my signal is very bad to the point that i miss phone calls and texts come late. I could force roam and be able to have my signal back... If the dev does not want the app distributed at this point (while its not on the market) i guess i will have to respect that. It is his work afterall. I am hoping the dev can straighten this out soon or give us an answer. I am in great need of it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtoysrock:
You can download from the post above my last post and when the dev figures out when and where you can uninstall and buy the paid app. That's what I'm doing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basketthis:
Thank you for the response. I read somewhere that the apps on there sometimes have undesired things packed into them (ie viruses, malware)... Do you have to download the applanet app to download from there? When i tried to view the site, it kept trying to download an applanet.apk... Seems fishy to me...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtoysrock:
The apk its trying to add is its market. I have used it safely twice now, but I have 2 different security apps that scan and have had no ill effects. I do know what you mean though. Just grab a antivirus and get the app and after uninstall security if you wish.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neotoky:
I Odin'd raver's stock kj6 and trying to flash either the kernel or modem because my voice signal sucks for some reason. I was on Valhalla ki3 and my voice signal was excellent. The wifi on kj6 is only slightly improved in my opinion. It can still get inconsistent and when I'm not too far from the router I still get 2 bars. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
The short answer is both. Check the dev section & you can download different modems to flash via ODIN or CWM. Maybe try KI3 & see if it goes back to how ut was.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
Could be many factors that affect the modem, such as geographic location. For example, KI1 and KD1 modems works best for me. Just ODIN the Ki3 modem, and you should be good to go.

As far as things affecting the kernel (or what things in the rom the kernel affects), I wouldn't know exactly, other than that it's the core part of the "OS" if you will. I'm sure there are a lot of things the kernel is responsible for, so maybe a dev could shed some light on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neotoky:
Thanks. Yeah, I'm hoping some devs will shed some light.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I'm not a dev but the kernel is in charge of what goes on (memory management, hardware access, process scheduling, etc). The source for the modem driver comes from the kernel source tree. When the kernel is compiled the drivers the dev asked the kernel to build get built.

Other parts of the OS can also affect the wifi operations though I don't know what all they are.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
The modem, kernel and wifi bins all effect it.

I'm using octane with the wifi bins from kj6 and its working just fine for me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] neotoky:
So basically I have to experiment both the kernel and modem. Thanks for the inputs guys.

My tab is stuck in Factory Mode. I have tried factory resetting it many times. Clean wiping it many times. (ODIN...Recovery) nothing seems to get it out of this mode. Stupid app that looks like the calculator is there to put in codes (Its the 1st pic in the link below)

Pics are in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1322816

My Tablet is the P7510 16GB WIFI ONLY model in Canada.

I have tried the factory reset code *2767*3855# that resets the tablet but again its still there.

Can anyone give me the code to get out of this mode.

(Taken from the other posted link above as I have the same problem) I have an app called factory mode that seems to launch some sort of calculator. I am unable to lock the screen at all now. No matter what lock screen setting I try the screen never locks. Pushing the power button powers down the device in an instant. No more popup asking if I want to power down. I've tried a factory reset, but during the reset it's complaining about not having access to some directory. After the factory reset runs its course I'm back to square one. I'm not asked to setup wifi, create an account or anything.

Please I need that code to get out of this mode.

I have tried re flashing the stock 3.1 and 3.2 through recovery and ODIN

Nothing is working for me.

UPDATE:

I returned it to Samsung and got it fixed. Funny thing is that my tablet is now running 3.2 stock Samsung firmware.

I know for fact in Canada we don't have the 3.2 update for the wi-fi tablet. I must say I was impressed with Samsung's support team and the replacement unit I got back in return.

i don't think this will work. this "factory mode" is set somewhere "by Samsung" and is not changed whenever we put new rom or kernel or recovery. it seems to me that this happens on very few instances, but all mentioning it was returned that way coming from hardware related repair "from Samsung".

Just my overdue update on this thread.

I haven't been to Samsung to have them take off the Factory Mode. I don't think I will be entertained there for this issue.

I flashed the "Galaxy Task 13 Slim" custom ROM, which can be obtained from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340064

The latest version there as of this post is already Galaxy Task 14, but when I attempted it I lost the lock screen again, hence I reverted back to version 13.

Galaxy Task 13 fixes the missing lock screen issue. So far that's the only solution I know, but "factory mode" still remains even after rom installations, so still stuck on that mode. Anyways aside from that icon (which can be removed), no difference. Unless more knowledgeable devs here can say what advantage are to be in "Factory Mode".

I also tried just installing Clockwork Mod by renaming the zip file update.zip and flashing it with the stock recovery and I was able to get it to the "green" cwm recovery screen but everytime I tried to either wipe the catche or try to flash the custom Rom it would just freeze.

Hi everyone!

I had my SGS rooted and flashed with MIUI rom.

I wanted to change the rom so I entered the recovery mode (cwm) and wiped all data.

In addition, I entered the "mounts and storage" option and then accidentally clicked on ALL the format options which were there.. (among them, the system and SD)

Since then, I can't enter the recovery mode anymore, and the phone won't start up.

Download mode is accessible (combo)

Odin (in all its versions) doesn't find the device, and when connected to the PC, it beggins to look for the drivers but can't even recognise the device. The drivers were already installed before though.

I assume that my phone has no kernel, no system, no nothing.. am I right? Is there any solution?

I thought their response was fair. HTC does have a built in error reporting function on its phones that you can decline to participate in. In addition, Carrier IQ is on many of their phones at the request of the carrier. So Sprint goes to HTC and says, we want you to install this on the EVO 3D, and they do it. It's up to Sprint to allow for an opt in or opt out feature. Right now, the only way to opt out is to not buy the phone, or void your warranty and root to remove it.
