for those of you who get no signal after switching you need to go into options in roam control and set it to reboot.

i thought it was obvious to reboot after selecting the phone but i guess not.

Does anyone know how to put phone back to normal after this change i am really having a hard time lost service nothing is working cant seem to get back on sprint or anything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
after what change? after force roam? sometime you have to put it into home only
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmchssc:
In Jacksonville, AT&T holds both of the 850 MHz licenses, so CDMA roaming is limited to PCS. So, no go for this app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xrelic:
yeah after a while of messing with it found that home only puts the phone back to regular thank god i was starting to get mad because i wasnt receiving calls or anything but the app does work cant say it doesnt do whats advertise

It works perfectly with my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 running the latest nightly CM 10.

I see there are issues with roaming in FL and TX. As I'm in South Florida, is it even worth it for me to bother with this? I would love for this to work as I only get a measly 1 bar signal at both home and at the office. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
Mine seems to have stopped working after the Jellybean update. No matter what I set it to, it doesnt roam.

I'm thinking of trying this. I'm a little apprehensive, however, as I've never messed around with CDMA Workshop. If I backup my NV settings, I can just restore in the event of a problem, right?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Visionikz03:
Sprint has(had) a 1xRTT outtage in parts of houston(where i work particularly) so i could not make calls or receive texts. Very annoying. So I tried this app on Wicked Sensations and it does work! I just turn off when I leave work. Thank goodness for forced roaming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cresny:
Is anyone supporting this app?

I bought Roam Control on Android Market a while ago. I upgraded to CM10 and therefore needed to install the latest version, but it couldn't validate my purchase. I emailed the support link on the website twice, no response. If the developer is reading this thread, please get back to me. I shouldn't have to pay for something twice to use it.

I'm on CM10. At work I always get little signal or go into roaming. I keep playing with different settings on my phone and on the app and I can't get a roaming signal. Can anyone help with some instructions on being able to force roam? I want to give the app the full benefit of the doubt before asking for a refund.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lynyrd65:
One observation with roaming on this phone (not forced).

This phone seems to have an extremely strong PCS radio but a very weak Cellular 850 radio. The reason I say this is that when I'm roaming indoors it is usually to another PCS provider in my area (Cricket and Verizon) rather than a cellular 850 provider like US Cellular. I also have weak or no signal in areas that only cellular 850 signals would reach with my previous device (Evo 3D). My brother uses my old Evo 3D and when I compare it to the SGS III side by side in these low signal areas, his phone would have something like 1 to 3 out of 6 bars of 3G roaming on US Cellular (he has a corporate PRL) while I would have either 1 bar or no service on the same PRL. My 1 bar of service was usually from Cricket or Verizon, (go figure), on PCS 1900. This is in an area I've never received signal from either of those providers before.

With the phone force roaming (850 only), I usually would have no service until I brought my phone near my wilson signal booster, then, the phone would roam on to US Cellular.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
I have noticed the same. I now have little to no service in northern Wisconsin, when I would get excellent signal via roaming throughout the entire state on my S2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
Yes it is known that the S3 has less than stellar 850 and 800 band performance.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:

Once I update to 56006, I should be able to toggle back and forth using Roam Control? I been using it for years now but it doesnt work right on Jellybomb or with my airwave.

as far as I'm aware roam control doesn't work yet on the note 2. the second didn't update it in a while. for toggling between roaming and sprint I've been using 11115 for a while. 00002 should only be a Verizon prl.

I'll try 11115 and see if that changes. 00002 has been giving me better service in spots in my house that usually suck.makes sense.I want 56006 s9 when I have LTE I wont have to switch back.I also thought once I got this prl I could toggle. Didn't realize RC couldn't do that either.good info

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
Nope.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
I found out why Roam Control doesn't work for me. Verizon only has 1900mhz frequency on their towers here in my area (due to them being older, Alltel towers.) And roam control forces roaming on only the Cellular 850 frequency. If Mr.Greg could update his app to allow 1900mhz roaming, I'd be grateful. I've had roam control since March '12 but never got it working.

Anyone know if the dev is still active at all? It's been almost three months without an update and the Note 2 has been left hanging high and dry with no response from him.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wintrxtrem:
I've been wondering the same thing. Photon Q still not supported either.. And no response to several emails.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dbpaddler:
And of course I have the Photon Q as well. Just picked up the Lapdock for it,and sticking with the Note 2 I'd have two phones unsupported for an app I bought just before the last update hit. I've emailed him about 6 times since the day the Note 2 came out. The fact the last update came out after the Note 2 came out, and he manually sends out registration codes, I'm a bit peeved he has been so unresponsive at this point. At least I know I'm not the only one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] windtrader:
Automatic Threshold

When RC is in automatic mode, it is not clear what triggers the roam search. It seems like the home signal needs to be lost before RC decides to trigger roaming. Is there an internal setting to adjust the threshold when RC triggers roaming? It would be great to be able to set it so RC would trigger roaming when there is still some level of signal left rather than wait until signal is lost.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
A lot of people complain about the author's lack of service/reposnsiveness. RC hasnt worked for me since the JB update. Beings that he doesnt answer emails, I havent even bothered emailing the guy. I figure its just money pissed away at this point.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mwcarnage:
Just switched to the S3 from the E4GT. I ran Roam Control on the E4GT since I have very little signal where I work, and compatibility with RC factored into my decision to buy the S3. Needless to say, it has been a different experience on this phone. However, it does work (my phone is running stock JB - for now). So I figured I'd impart some of my knowledge from past and present experiences with this app.

First of all, I recommend replacing Superuser with SuperSu. RC was buggy with Superuser on the E4GT (in my experience) and it worked much better with SuperSu for whatever reason. I made that switch before installing RC on this phone.

Second, I've noticed two things about RC on this phone that differ from how the app worked on the E4GT. For one, on the E4GT the OS was prone to crashing after switching to Roam Only mode, so it worked better if it was set to automatically reboot after the switch. The S3 doesn't do this. As a matter of fact, I've observed that rebooting this phone takes it out

of Roam Only mode, even though the button for Roam Only will still be lit within the app.

So to review: 1) replace Superuser with SuperSu, and 2) do not set the app to reboot after switching modes, and remember to reactivate Roam mode after a reboot. Also, you may have to reboot the phone to get it out of Roam mode. I can't speak to how well these tips will work on all the various ROMs. Hope this post helps, and sorry for the length.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
It'll probably fix your issues if you change all of the "The People's ROM" network values to "Sprint" in your eri.xml. Renaming your network provider to your ROM name typically messes up most network-related applications.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] view9234:
I wish someone would update the 1st post of this thread. Unless something has changed in the last few weeks (which I seriously doubt) Roam Control doesn't really 'force roam' as advertised on the GS3 (and possibly other phones). What it does is disable 1900mhz calling, which basically forces the phone into 800mhz roam. The problem is that Verizon typically uses 1900mhz for 3G data in most urban areas. So not only is your phone blocked from finding Verizon's 1900mhz towers (which could give you a better signal), it will likely only give you a 1x data connection, instead of 3G. I keep hoping someone will write a true force roam app for the GS3, but since it hasn't come out yet, I'm guessing it isn't coming... :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtr145r:
I think you are confused.

Roam control is working perfectly fine on the gs3 I just chwcked it.

Maybe you dont understand what its suppoed to do or how to set it up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
No, the previous post is absolutely correct. Roam control on the S3 forces the device to not use the PCS band. Which in turn makes you roam in most places since VZW uses 800mhz. Now go to an area where there are no 800mhz CDMA carriers and roam control will end making you have no service when in fact Verizon is sitting there with a full signal of 1900mhz CDMA waiting for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] genaro12543:
If you're using 3.4 kernel switch mode to galaxy s4 with newest roam control update and works flawlessly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
On the GS4 how can you tell when you are roaming on Verizon?

I have the modded verizon PRL 0001 installed on my Sprint GS4. And i just bought Roam Control, and i have it set to Samsung GS4. When i hit "roam only" the signal bar jump up to about 4-5 and back down to 1-2. normally i have 1-2 bars. i never get 3G.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtr145r:
If you have 0001 Orlando on the phone it's already constantly roaming. Using roam control will most likely cause it to roam on 1x.

For best. And most consistent results use 56015 prl.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
Okay thanks. I'm assuming that's a Verizon PRL.?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtr145r:
0001 is a hack sprint prl set you to only use Verizon so when you set roam control to roam only it pretty much does nothing ...

56015 is a sprint prl set up to roam on version so when you set roam control to roam only it will switch to Verizon or affiliates.
