First of all, you have to have a legal copy of Roam Control, pirated copies do not work properly.

A custom PRL used in conjunction with Roam Control will allow you to force roam on another provider like Verizon. If you do not flash a custom prl to the phone, you will still be roaming on Sprint at 1x speeds. Using the custom PRL for roaming will give you up to 3G data speed and usually a better signal. It is best used where your Sprint signal is very low (after all, why force roam if you don't have to).

The PRL thread is here:

LOL, TT you threw me for a loop there so I had to go look. It's not available in the Play Store, you still have to purchase it from the website I believe:

http://www.roamctrl.com/

The PRL thing isn't that simple. Check out the PRL thread I posted for programming info. It's not something you 'flash' exactly.

Also, PRL programming won't work on some ROMs (I think CM9 is one of them) so you'll have to search that thread if the programming steps don't work for you.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] riffofdeath:
When I use my Samsung Galaxy S 3 on Wi-fi, it is blazing fast. However, when I go over to data, it is slow. It's not that my carrier's network is slow. Basically, my country just recently implemented HSDPA (H+). However, since it is only a basic development at this point, it keeps switching from HSDPA to 3G and back to HSDPA and back to 3G. During this "transition", the 2 arrows below are not lighted up for about 15 seconds, effectively nulling internet data connection for awhile. Is there a way to disable HSDPA and keep 3G? I don't wish to go over to GSM (2G)

I previously owned an iPhone which had fast 3G.

This is actually ok when it's not switching.

I'm planning on rooting my HTC One V to run a proxy on PetroCanada's UMB since I'm finding non-proxy to be super limited (youtube doesn't even work).

I plan on using this tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1676686

However, I understand I'll lose all my apps when rooting. How do I back them up in advance?

Thanks

SOLVED: Since it is not exactly obvious here is what time and research has taught me:

-the only way to use titanium backup or create a nandroid backup is to have an unlocked bootloader and/or root

-unlocking the bootloader deletes any and all apps, messages, calls (essentially doing a factory reset of the phone).

-rooting via the HTC One V All-In-One Toolkit thread involves 3 steps via a USB connected phone to your pc:

a) unlocking the bootloader (Steps 1-5 on the Toolkit);

b) flashing a recovery program (ClockWorkMod "CWN"),

c) using CWN to backup the phone's image (creating a "nandroid") to a MicroSD card

d) using the recovery program to flash SU.zip, which is "rooting" (using "Perm Root (GB/ICS)" on the Tookit)

-to test if your phone is rooted download any terminal app from the Play Store (I used "Terminal Emulator") and see if the command prompt (where you can start typing) is preceded by a $ or a #. $=maybe not rooted and #=rooted. If yours says $, type and enter the command 'su' to try and access root, if nothing happens you are not rooted.

-PetroCan Unlimited Mobile Browsing can be fully useable (apps like youtube, dropbox etc will work) if used in conjunction with ProxyDroid which pushes everything through port 80.

Thanks to everyone and hopefuly this will be helpful to noobs. I'd post on the HTC One V All-In-One Toolkit thread but alas I am still below the quota required to post there.

[HTC One V] atonz:
Thanks for your reply, I'll look into titanium more. Doesn't nandroid backup require the phone already be rooted?

EDIT: looked into titanium and apparently it requires root as well? How can I backup my apps if these methods require root (which apparently erases all apps/contacts?)?

What I am worried about here is losing the stock apps provided with my HTC One V: Clock, keyboard, mail, calendar, messages, personalize, gallery, task manager, seetings, weather etc since I am unsure how to replace them.

EDIT: are the stock apps part of whatever 'HTC Sense' is?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Sense#HTC_Sense_on_Android_Devices
[HTC One V] the Doctor:
Rooting will not affect the stock apps or content on your sd card, but you will have to do a factory reset when you unlock the bootloader causing you to lose all personal data not stored on the sd card including user apps. You can find apps that backup messages on market like Go sms and as mentioned above Titanium Backup to backup user apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Greg Tolan:
Hi,

Has anyone come across a smaller extended battery for the Galaxy Nexus? I want an in-between battery size! I have the seidio 3800mah battery and it functions great but looks like crap! I have the 2100 mah battery and it is ok but I want a few extra hours without sacrificing functionality (IE:using juice defender) The battery door is ugly and poorly designed on the 3800 mah battery in my opinion. What I am looking for is a 2500mah -2900mah battery that has a more svelte battery door keeping the aesthetics of the phone intact. Anyone come across anything like I am describing? I'd even settle for a nicer battery door on the seidio battery.

Edit: title should read "Smaller extended battery?(2100mah > x < 3800mah)"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I've never seen one personally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samiam303:
I have nothing to offer in terms of an answer, but that's still wrong - it should read "2100mah < x < 3800mah".

-Math teacher...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LubricatedSword:
I'm pretty bummed about the 2100 mAh battery as well, was thinking about throwing money down for a Hyperion on Amazon for $20, but is the cover really that horrid??

Engineer??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Greg Tolan:
The Seidio battery door is hideous in my opinion. It is a black rubber like material with a matte finish which doesn't match the phone at all. Also, the hump and curve of the battery door seem unnecessarily big. I feel like it could be designed better.

The Q-Cell battery looks interesting because their battery door is supposed to mimic the original with hyperskin texture and color. I wonder how it looks and feels up close. Even though it it 20 bucks I won't spring for it because I would essentially be paying for just the door. I don't need the battery just the door. I'll keep trolling amazon and ebay for something.

Not as important as either a math teacher or an engineer.

Financial Controller
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandT90:
The 3800mAh that QCell offers is a great bang for your buck. For those wondering, the back cover has a little bit more grain/texture to it than the original GNex's. It does look very similar. Definitely worth it if you're looking to keep the stock look, but with a larger capacity batter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jfriend33:
I liked how seidio had extended batteries for my blackberry that fit under the standard door. This should apply for the gnex!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big Cam:
I too would like something like this, the 31oo seems like a good deal, but it's such a minimal increase.

[Transformer TF300T General] JAG131990:
Hey guys so I just picked up my new tf300t last week and loving it. However on the bottom right edge of the bezel the back part seems to have play like a small amount of movement where if you squeeze it creaks, it has been like this from day one out of the box and am wondering if I should return it. I knew tablet quality is often lacking due to design but does anyone else experience this?
[Transformer TF300T General] RolloJarvis:
Yes, this is normal. I wouldn't bother returning it. The slight play and creaking is just a consequence of the material used for the back of the tablet. Unless it really affects how the tablet functions or its really worrying you I don't think there is anything wrong with a slight creak.
[Transformer TF300T General] JAG131990:
Ok. I have noticed a thread on here on removing the back cover. I'm not sure what kind of clips or tabs will be used to secure the back but perhaps if I removed it and put it back I could fix it. Any recommendations.?
[Transformer TF300T General] RolloJarvis:
Up to you. Is it actually affecting the performance and usability of the tablet at all, or does the creak just make you feel uncomfortable? I would be tempted to leave it alone and get used to it because if you remove the back you could end up doing more damage, or cracking the screen, plus it will likely void your warranty.

I do not know the severity of the creaks, but if it is really bad, and makes you feel uncomfortable using the tablet I would recommend exchanging it with a new one. Mine creaks when I press it, but only very slightly and I hardly notice it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SerAndyNoob:
I know that there are a lot of helpful and expert Defy Users and Owners here at XDA so I came here for help. :crying::crying:

I have a defy green lens and I had a problem when I flashed a kernel that was not meant for defy, I was not able to go back to CWM recovery so I used RSD Lite to flash an SBF from somewhere around here, but sadly it was for ME525 and it was Chinese. It worked with my phone except for the LED Flash. It is very dim and somehow greenish. I thought it would go away by flashing the CM7 and then going to back to Epsylon's CM9 through CWM recovery but everything is fine with that CM9 except, again, the LED Flashlight. It's the same dim and greenish light. So I tried flashing a different SBF for Defy Jordan but when I do my phone just goes blank after flashing and I cannot go to stock recovery nor open the bootloader (But RSD Lite says connected when I connect the phone to the PC). I tried a couple of SBF's but it's always a blank (black) screen. When I flash that ME525 SBF, it works again.

Can this ever be fixed? Please help me. I don't know what to do. I just want my Defy to have a working LED flashlight.

I cannot send a new email with an attachment from the Gmail app but I can forward one which was received with an attachment! (I can receive new emails with attachments ok). Sending new text only emails are fine.

The HTC mail widget seems ok when i've set it up to Gmail and sends new mails with attachments so it must be the Gmail app itself at fault and not my settings, maybe they screwed something up with the move to ICS?

Anyone else with this problem?

Also in the ebay app i cant view any messages, keep getting a "messages not retrieved, socket error......" when i try open the inbox, sent items etc.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

I learnt the Groupcast feature today by chance and loved it. Me and my wife have S III, it's very useful for us. However, we also have other Samsung mobile devices (Galaxy S, Galaxy W and Galaxy Note) around and it would be great to use this feature all over these devices. Is there any chance to add the Allshare Play app to these older devices ? (At least the Note)

Has anyone tried it ?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalex7777:
I went to a Samsung event this week and saw this too. Pretty cool. Not sure what all you need to make this work, but I know it has NOT been working on my HTC EVO 4G LTE even with the ported TouchWiz 4/NatureUI launcher. Of course it probably would help if I was running a Deodexed ROM. I will try this again after I flash one of those and see if the ported SecLauncher2.apk provides enough of a framework to get any of these S-*/AllShare features to work.

From what I can tell you need at least/some or all of the following:

AllshareDMC.apk

AllshareMediaServer.apk

AllSharePlay.apk

AllshareService.apk

PhaseBeam.apk

SecMediaProvider.apk [?]

Try backing up the originals of those files on your ICS Note and then porting them.

I don't think these features work on GB as they are dependent on WiFi direct and I'm guessing Sammy's implementation for that is probably different on pre-GSIII devices.

Hope that helps!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatisreal7:
I came across this app called Tapestry, that essentially does the same thing as Group Cast, but much much easier to use. My friends have the GSIII, and to setup a Group Cast, password and all, takes 15 clicks. With Tapestry, it only takes 3! Moreoever, it works on any Android device, not just GSIII's, so you can enjoy the experience with all your Android friends. It only supports pictures for now, but that's pretty much what I use it for anyways. Lastly, the coolest feature that Tapestry has that Group Share doesn't have it that in Tapestry, you have synchronized pinch/zoom/panning, and also direct Peer-to-peer download by swiping down on the viewer screen you immediately download the picture onto your phone! What a cool way to share photos! You can check it out here.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
First of all - sorry for posting it here, i don't mean to be in your face, it's just all discussions about this topic in other threads or posts went nowhere and i also think it didn't get enough attention from the developers. So, i just wanted to start a new thread dedicated to just this feature, since i believe this is one of the most useful features which is somehow got missed in these devices.

I'm talking about the ability to use GP5 to make calls though and answer calls from other devices through bluetooth. I think it's nuts that Samsung didn't implement this feature in these players, since most if not all top range mp3 and media players from this manufacturer in the last 5-6 years have had this feature (my pretty basic 4 year old samsung mp3 player can do this easily). Some people wonder why i care about this, but in my opinion it is a killer feature, which really opens up so many different possibilities to these devices. Tablets with 3g and 4g are reasonably cheap these days, so more and more people buy them. When you have one of them, you naturally think about a possibility of making calls through it. I'm one of such people, i have a 10" 3g tablet and i would like to be able to call through it using my GP5.

I participate in 5-6 different forums dedicated to these devices (mostly european sites) and i see requests and questions from people about this feature almost on daily basis. I think there are hundreds of people out there who would love to have it in their GPs. What i know is that the new GP 3.6 and 4.2 have it and the older ones 4.0 and 5.0 don't. So, i'm begging you, somebody, please make a ROM with this feature! I have no experience in programming for Android, but i think it should be very easy to take code or a library or whatever it is from one device and put it into another, since all these players have pretty much the same hardware (to my knowledge).

Thank you for your attention.

Bad news guys, the uncompiled image didn't help, and I was unable to open the .img that I pulled from a 3.6 rom. Could someone pull their entire /system directory (apply this terminal command: dd if=/dev/block/systemname of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs), and then pull it off their sdcard (internal) and upload it here (tar or zip it if you need to). I do not believe root is required for that, and I am able to access .rfs files to edit them. You can find the name of your system partition by punching in "mount" in the terminal and then finding /system in the output, and recording the partition name that follows (eg. my system partition on my 4.0 is /dev/block/stl9).
