Purchased the new version (updated server) off his website and with PRL 11115 this works like a charm with 3G roaming. Works great where the network is so saturated it is unusable with speeds on VZW ~1000kbps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grandmastem:
May I ask your setup?

I am on Calk's 2.8, EL26 modem I get nothing. Does it automatically switch for you pretty quick? God, my Sprint signal blows balls here. Plus, when I do get my phone to roam, i get almost full bars and fast vzw 3g speeds. So, I know the PRL and all allows it, but missing something here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
All I can say is when I was running the stock PRL that came with the phone, I indeed had 3G roaming in northern Wisconsin (although it was rev A, not rev 0) and was fast enough to comfortably use Netflix. :)

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

I've noticed on Calk's ROMs that after selecting a new state (automatic to Roam Only, or Roam Only to Automatic), about half the time the change won't take until I reboot the phone. Usually, when this happens, I'll get force closes for the phone process.

Try rebooting after changing the state and see if that works for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bean:
Calk's 2.7 EL26. Radio responds instantly (LOS ==> VZW) and 3G is indicated within 8 seconds usually. I have seen information in other threads about Samsung not roaming in 3G due to a lack of PCS band. However if it is not switching at all that probably does not apply.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
Why are you here?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dgn_sandibalz:
So far roam control hasn't worked for me in FL. On his site he specifically states samsung roams at a different frequency. Hopefully he finds a way to get it working. I spend most of my day roaming at work...... And there's a sprint repeater on top of my building.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
Because I was on Sprint for over 4 years and I still have the E4GT.

Why are you here?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Henri Blanche:
FYI PRL 11115 and the latest version of Roam Control work just fine here in Atlanta. I get solid Verizon 3G roaming. Fortunately the 4G signal isn't half bad here and Atlanta appears to be one of the markets that Sprint is rolling out its 3G and LTE upgrades first. Still, it's nice to have the option if necessary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
As somebody else said, often times lack of roaming is a Samsung issue... If the carrier you are trying to roam uses the PCS band for data, there's a good chance you will have issues with data while roaming.

This personally hasn't happened to me, but I've seen several posts from other people here that absolutely cannot get data while roaming because the roaming carrier uses PCS for data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
You're only here to down the service. Thats all you do
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
Sprint doesn't need me to down the service, they do a good job on their own.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fallenraven75:
so lets see... i am small business owner who is trying to hold on by a thread while the market stabilizes, and i use the internet to stream sirius and a ton of other stuff all day. last month i used 7 gigs of data. so can u tell me what that would have costed me from verizon? i would switch this minute if in any way the service where better. but it plain any simply is not. sorry to everyone on here looking for answers and not an argument, just had to put my two sence in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
Ok, never expected I would need this program so soon, but a cell tower near my house went down a few days ago (with no timeline on a fix per Sprint), leaving me with horrendous signal where I live. Thus my battery would drain 5 times as fast.

Roam control has really saved my battery. Thanks to the OP for pointing out this program.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Roam control works AWESOME for me, and has been the most important app in my arsenal! The only issue I am having is that when I load the 1115 PRL I only get 3g speeds for about 1/2 an hour, then it goes back to 1x. Its the weirdest thing, anyone else have the same issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkgodz:
Going to give this a shot. I have no service at my home due to being out in the sticks. Can get a decent Verizon signal though so I will see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Make sure you either get the paid version, or version 1.4. Anything else will not work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] androtn:
What about version 1.7?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Unless it is a paid version, it will not work. Trust me I know from experience...:D It took me days to figure out why it wasn't working. Finally settled on Version 1.4, and works like a charm!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkgodz:
i got version 2.2

its the paid version of it.

tried it last night and didnt seem to want to pick up signal even after a reboot.

stuck my phone in airplane mode as i often do when i went to sleep. when i woke up and turned off airplane mode it went into roaming on a verizon tower.

my sms went through with no huge issues. sadly, data roaming sucks but at least i am not attempting to resend sms over and over and over again.

will play with it more to see if i can get better performance out of it.

may attempt to place it in force roaming just before i lose my sprint signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
As far as the data roaming sucking... Use the 1115 PRL, it will give you 3g speeds when roaming, and will fix that issue. In fact, my data roaming speeds are faster than when non-roaming (w/out 4g).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hexagonsunja:
Gotta be careful though... word has it that Sprint has a very low data cap on roaming data (300mb?). Would like some hard confirmation of this though...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
I heard that it had to be less than half of your total roaming. So if you use 6 gigs in a month it has to be less than 3 gigs on roaming, or you will get the boot. Same goes for voice minutes, more than half must be on Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkgodz:
i looked at flashing a different prl but it seemed somewhat cumbersome to do.

was hoping for a "on the fly" sort of way to do the prl swap (to hop back and forth between prl's for times when i have sprint service).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Totally not cumbersome, it's fairly easy. No on the fly way to swap prls as of now, flashing with QPST is only way that I have seen with the epic4gt. Use the 1115 PRL with roam control, and hop back and forth between sprint and verizon and keep 3g speeds! Its totally worth the time to flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkgodz:
i wound up doing just that. the prl was fairly easy to do.

only problem is that i completely spaced and deleted my email with my unlock code for the RC app :o.

sent them an email with my info asking for a replacement code.

hope i hear from them soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
If you dont hear back, look for version 1.4, it will work too...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerryparid:
This will come in handy.

Did a simple speedtest after installing + rpl 11115 update

~500/100 on Sprint.

~1500/300 on Alltel (Verizon)

Even better, I can now use force roam into Verizon for voice when Sprint has like half a bar of signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
If I have it set to automatic it will roam as needed when the signal is low yes?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkgodz:
i wondered the same thing.

i live in an almost sprint free zone. i am about 7 miles from the nearest sprint tower and i have not only a wall of trees but a set of old school phone lines running between myself and the tower.

not using this app, even while on automatic i never seemed to actually roam. i would just tend to lose signal.

once i started using this app, i actually got a roam indication.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
The only benefit to this app is to force roam when needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sideman7:
Because the phone has a tendency to keep a death grip on a pretty much useless Sprint signal, even when you can instead have full bars roaming. There are a few places where I have to force roaming because if I don't, it will stay on Sprint, even with a 10-20% loss of signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blahzace:
Does anyone have roam control 1.4? Please pm me. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrick216:
Purchased the app off there website three days ago, still have not heard from anyone with a license to get the app to work.

Hope they hurry thing up I need to get this working got crap signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
I purchased the app. You get an email instantly, but honestly it doesn't matter because the app doesn't work. When on Roam Only my service just shuts off.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dhonzik:
Is it possible to downgrade from ICS back to V8.8.3.33(US) so I can save the root with the OTA root save before upgrading back to ICS? Before anybody chimes in, I know on the ASUS download page it says no. Curious if anybody has tried it or not. I was so excited that ICS arrived last night I forgot to save the root before updating.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rariss:
yes it is possible

you have to download the update from the asus support site and extract it to sd card

Will CyanogenMod roms for the Galaxy Mini work with the Dart (t499)?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Netas3k:
No. But in madteam forums there's a cyanogenmod development going on for the dart
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] t499user:
CWM is fixed and working on this phone.

CyanogenMod 7.1 is mostly working, there is still a delay in the screen turning on with an incoming call, and the buttons at the bottom don't light up. But so far it is looking pretty good.

Also if you are planing on doing the network/sim unlock, it requires the original rom, so you might want to do that before switching to CM7.

Unfortunately the forums are down right now, but see this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19936092&postcount=100
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] JCreazy:
I am thinking about buying a dart soon and I want to make sure I got this all right. In order to flash CWM you need to flash the recovery madteam has made because it cannot be flashed through ROM manager? ALso after having CWM on the Dart, does a specific version of CM7 have to be flashed that was specifically made for the dart or can any Galaxy Mini rom be used?

ive noticed that development seems to have dragged to a halt on the t499 and i was wondering if someone would be interested in making a project out of this, perhaps continue developing on the cm7 that has already be started, or the cm9 that the thread has been closed on, im not too experienced in development on android but id be willing to help any way possible
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robotapocalypse:
I did a search and didn't see this issue. I've got the i9100 and am using it with the Samsung Desktop Dock designed for the ATT version. I'm running 2.3.4 stock, rooted. It's worked fine for about a month, but last night when I plugged it into the dock, nothing happened. I was just using the docking software on the stock ROM, not the Samsung app that you have to download and install.

So I tried downloading and installing the Samsung App and it worked just fine, starting up as soon as I docked the i9100. Uninstalled it again and tried docking again to see if the Gingerbread app would work and again nothing happened.

Any help would be appreciated. I don't like the Samsung App as it's too garish for me. I just want a simple clock when it's docked on my nightstand and the Gingerbread one did all that.

Thanks.

I just bought an LG V905 tablet used but there is a password on it.

I can't get it to do a factory reset.

I tried holding the volume button ( both up and down ) with the reset button.

when i use the up volume button i get a screen that says "entering lg mdp mode"

and "DO NOT POWER DOWN" downloading now..."

i left it over night like that and it still was at the same screen in the morning.

when i try it with the down volumne it get

"Starting fastboot usb download protocol" anf the LG logo and it sits there.

can anybody tell me how to reset this tablet ?

Thanks In Advance

[General Questions and Answers] Joel-Tang:
I'm in the same boat.

I had a force close happen while installing a 3d wallpaper apk that rendered my touch screen insensitive to touch. This virtually bricks my device as I cannot unlock the screen during start up. Everything else works as I can hear notifications and watch it connect to my wifi network.

I've tried flashing stock images for the lg-909 (system.img, bootloader.bin, flashboot.img) and this did not work on my LG-905. It would get stuck in a continuous boot loop in the t-mobile animations.

My LG-905 is a Rogers device so the stock images are now obviously different than the T-Mobile's.

I need fresh images for the LG-905. If anyone has rooted their device using the instructions for the LG-909 they will have one of these back-up images available. I would ask someone help me out by making this available to me. Mine has been corrupted and is unusable.

Other than this, perhaps someone can help me restore my screen sensitivity by some other means as I have access to the file system using ADB, APX and sometimes fastboot (when it works).
[Kindle Fire General] msantarc:
During the several days it took to get rooting straight (and it's working perfectly now thanks to [-_-] ), I remember reading something about steps required to access the Kindle Store (Amazon) after you have hacked your Fire. I can no longer seem to find those notes. I'm trying to access books already purchased by my wife on her Amazon Account. I've already de-registered my Fire from my account and re-registered it on her account, but I don't seem to have access to her books. Can someone point me to the correct thread or let me know what I need to do?
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
The only "hack" needed is with relationship to Amazon Video Prime. where you need to use something like OTA Rootkeeper to allow the app to not see you are rooted.

As for books, you have to access them via the default launcher and use sync to use the default book reader.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
don't know about purchasing books but to use amazon video you have to use ota rootkeeper to temporary unroot

hope this helps ...
[Kindle Fire General] msantarc:
Thanks for the quick responses. I didn't seem to be able to access my wife's books after I DE-registered it from my account and then re-registered it to hers. None of the books would load. Now that I've gone back to my own account, all my books are missing and I can't wirelessly load them. I WAS able to download them to my PC and then copy them via USB to my Fire. I'll have to take a look at installing the OTA Rootkeeper.

Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire General] liquidicem:
Do you still have the stock Kindle app installed or did it get updated during your rooting process. Mine updated at some point and screwed everything up.

If you go into your app management and uninstall the kindle reader, it should uninstall the updates and take it back to the stock reader app. Then loading up books through the stock launcher cleared up all of the issues on my end. Give it a try.
[Kindle Fire General] skourg3:
Simply clearing the data on the kindle app might fix the issue too, though without knowing how deeply Amazon login is integrated it might take more than just a data clear on the Kindle part (because the reader is still just an app).
[Kindle Fire General] chamala2000:
Amazon prime video service wouldn't work but this app fixed all.

After using this app I just restarted KF and service is working again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravens97:
Hi,

Ive tried about 4 sense ROMS now ranging from sense 1.9 (htc desire) to 3.5. And on every single one of those ROMS ive tried, the performance of them is EXTREMELY slow. I have no idea what could be causing this? None of the sense ROMS never used to be this slow? ASOP ROMS perform perfectly, sense ROMS thats a different story. Any reasons why this might be extremely slow? Ive tried buying a new sd card. Hasnt made any difference, ive checked all the partitions there fine. Im unsure what else it could be?

Thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andreyq123:
Hello,i think you should try the Coolexe's Unofficial BravoS ,i think it's the best sense 2.1 rom and on my desire is very fast.

You can also boot without sdcard so you can see if the problem is caused by it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacksec:
I have made the same experiences but the sense ROMs are not extremly slower than AOSP just slower. I think this is caused by sense itself because it "eats" a lot of performance.

Hi guys,

I was backing up mu photos the other day and realized my camera shots from my stock, non rooted days were much better.

First, yes I am on a sense ROM, and yes I searched both XDA and google.

Does anyone have the stock camera apk from the official ROMs froyo or gingerbread? I wouldn't mind testing to see if the "old" cameras really were better.

I rarely use my phone for video, but lots for pics. I do not want opinions on what ROM has a better camera, just the stock one so that I can do a backup, test the old one, and compare images.

Once I have the old apk, I will even post comparison photos if anyone else is interested.

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] ironjon:
Umm I think the problem is not HTCcamera.apk

In my opinion the problem is GB kernel
[Desire Themes and Apps] expler:
maybe you should download a stock rom nad just take the cam apk out of it ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] fifo:
+1 for this.. I have the same feelings about photos but I never actually compared.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mmceorange:
There's also the ol' scratches on the battery cover's lens issue.. Have you checked that yet? Didn't really specify in what way your new photos are not as good..
[Desire Themes and Apps] super34:
The problem is GB with sense, if you want better pictures then use a froyo sense rom or if you want GB you can try Miui or CM 7.10 roms, all the others they make dark pictures when using the flash in the dark.
[Desire Themes and Apps] jmitr:
Thanks for the replies guys, I have the official Telus Froyo ROM but as an RUU. I'll download a rooted stock froyo ROM and do 2 things,

1. Pull the apk and try with my current GB ROM

2. Backup, flash a rooted stock froyo and test.

And yes, I did think of the scratched cover thing, I removed the cover and took pics.......they still lok like sh** compared to my old stock froyo photos.

It migt be a GB thing though, my photos from my LeeDroid froyo ROM days look way better as well.

Thanks again, when I have the time to do all the necaesary backing up, flashing and restoring I'll tack pics and test this out.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Mefistozisimo:
i don`t think the problem is gb sense:cool:
[Desire Themes and Apps] rodlane:
I agree that the original froyo camera has better quality but not that much better. I use miui and it has a fairly decent camera (with full screen 4mp). It doesn't have 720p video but the video is a lot smoother, tho still not much in terms of quality.
[Desire Themes and Apps] mmceorange:
This probably doesn't really help anyone, but the Desire's camera isn't very good to begin with. Honestly, being a photography enthusiast, I am usually quite disappointed with the picture quality from the camera. My previous two phones are Sony Ericsson; A W810 followed by a W960. Despite the W810 having only 2MP and the W860 having 3.2MP, they still took FAR better pictures than the 5MP on the Desire. Especially with the W810, I was thoroughly impressed with it's picture quality and low light performance. Sure the Desire's photos look good on it's screen, but full size on a monitor typically leads to cringing.

I've been considering moving back to Sony phones, specifically the Arc (S). I just need to get some play time with one to test out the camera and ergonomics..
[Desire Themes and Apps] TVTV:
So you're saying that you're a photography enthusiast and you need a phone with a good camera. What do you need it for? An enthusiast always carries some sort of a true (dedicated) camera with him, be it a compact, dSLR or a SLR.

Try carrying an awkward couple of pounds around with you everywhere.. My phone is on me at all times anyway, so when I see something inspiring, I use what I have. I don't see any point in also carrying a point-and-shoot when I know that a commendable camera can be put into a phone (ie iphone4, Nokia 808) but typically isn't these days.

Same question here...
[Desire Themes and Apps] nightcrow:
Following this thread with interest because I know what the TS-er means. Pictures taken with a stock Froyo or GB rom have better quality and especially brighter flash in dark conditions.

I believe this to be kernel-related. My phone's on An-Droid 2.2.0 now (imho the best rom for our devices) and with the custom kernel that comes with it the camera's flash doesn't 'peak' at the moment a picture is taken. Flashing the stock kernel (or an snq one) changed this and now the camera flash is ok again.
