Go into your phone settings and make sure it's all set up for roaming.

Then check rc options. have it set to do nothing after selection.

Wait about 30 seconds then reboot.

All I can say is keep trying. It will eventually switch over. It took like 2 hours for me. I'm not sure what variable need to be met for it it switch..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
I got it back on Sprint. I had RC set up to reboot the phone after switching modes. Disabling that is what fixed it for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MrGreg:
Everything good now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
Yes.. I had sent you an email also which you can disregard. I do think its a bug tho just FYI. I tried for hours to get it to toggle back with reboot option set and it never would. As soon as I untoggled reboot to "Do Nothing", it popped right back to Sprint. My email was from J*******r@Gmail.Com.

Thanks!

Thanks for the great service, Greg! I really appreciate it!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MrGreg:
There is a way to get roaming on both frequency bands (800 and 1900) on Samsung phones, but it requires updating an NV item. I'm not entirely comfortable with doing that because I don't want to brick anyone's phone by accident.

http://mikescloset.blogspot.com/2011/10/force-roaming-on-samsung-epic-4g.html

I'm not taking credit for this, someone else did this a long time ago and asked if it could be integrated into roam control.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmchssc:
For people wondering why this doesn't work in most of Florida and Texas, it's because this app doesn't exactly work by just telling the phone to roam. Sprint has encouraged manufacturers to hide that functionality as much as possible. On most recent phones, RC has worked by forcing the phone to only look for signal in the Cellular band, at 850 mhz. This works because Sprint has no Cellular spectrum, but most of its roaming partners do. 90 percent of the time, the Cellular CDMA carrier in a given area is Verizon. Sometimes it's US Cellular or one of a few other minor carriers. In Florida and Texas, no CDMA carriers have cellular licenses. There are only two licenses per area, and AT&T holds both of them in those states. This was a result of the Cingular/AT&T merger several years ago.

The only kind of upside to this is that roaming really isn't of that much benefit if you'd just be roaming from PCS to PCS. No matter the carrier, PCS coverage and penetration will be weaker than Cellular coverage. However, once ESMR refarming is done, Sprint will likely have better voice coverage than any other CDMA carrier in Florida or Texas because it will be the only one with low frequency spectrum.

1xRTT roaming only

I just purchased the app and tried but it doesn't do 3g roaming. It only connects to 1xRTT... :confused:

I've used 25006 / 24006 / 12121 PRL but they all produce the same result. Is there anything special that I need to do? I've checked all of settings from RC and from my phone as well....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
If you did this fix, would there be a downside when youre not roaming?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Hah, that makes sense as I've tried virtually everything I can to make it roam only through the apk. Oh well, thanks anyway. Great program BTW.

Roaming or not?

I have been roaming since 4 months ago and going over 15GB every month, this month so far I have used 47GB and looks like sprint doesn't care. In my bill say exactly 3G roaming, you think maybe sprint is mocking about it? I want to be kicked out the sprint network due to slow network. Any advice about this or how to get kicked. I changed my PRl, I tested many net monitor software to see if I am on verizon but they say operator sprint and carrier verizon. Thanks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
It has nothing to do with the app. The PRLs only allow 3G roaming. They don't guarantee it. You can try the 16006 PRL and see if you have better luck with that

i am running prl ver. 25006, but i do not know how to change it...

how do i try different prls and where is the best place to source them? thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mulhiny:
There's a thread in development with all Sprint PRLs and instructions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dnaL0R:
so i simply have to try bunch of different PRLs and see which one works for me, correct?

since one person's success in trying a certain PRL will not yeild the same results for me...

sorry, but im just not too familiar with PRLs and what it exactly does...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mulhiny:
Correct. The corporate prls will usually allow 3g roaming although YMMV. I find 12121 to work pretty good.

Yeh Kind sucks that u can't roam but it's not a big deal for me my phone rarely tries to roam unless I'm in my room, other then that, works fine when I'm out. But it could of also been that I was grandfather from my older current account so that's probably why I had roaming.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
I believe that sets it to Sprint only, meaning no roaming outside Sprint network.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daftlush:
Speak for yourself... It's totally worth $4 bucks to be able to force roaming without having to reboot (as with a forced prl update). It allows me to jump on verizons network to download/browse when i feel like, them toggle back to sprint to make/take phone calls.

There is a 7 day return policy. Its really easy, just enter your info at the support page and boom... refund.

Are you really so broke you think $4 is too much to pay for a piece of software that frees you from that shackles of sprints ****ty network? If so, you should probably keep that to yourself instead of disrespecting someones hard work by claiming it isnt "worth it".

Maybe its just me, i just simply said my feel of a opinion to this, hey its great that alot of u are able to roam by paying for this, but i simply have no use, so for me its not worth the 4 dollars, it doesnt necessarily mean im des-respecting the creator of this program just because i dont want it. Now as for being broke, if i got a SGIII do u really think id be broke?? ask ureself that question before u open.

My bad on that... You have every right to do you. It was a hot day here in L.A. and I over reacted. What I said wasnt really directed at you, but the android community in general. Us Droidsters are generally cheapskates compared to iPhone users. We complain about apps costing anything cause often we have foss options. I just wanted the dev to know his work is extremely appreciated. Sorry, for calling you broke.

Back on topic, I think the app is working properly on the new JB leak... but i cant be sure since i can only get 20kbps down. I flashed back to freegs3 v2 and the app was working the same, only downloading at 20 kbps. I tried the 24006 (corporate) prl and the 25006 (standard) prl. Now im trying to do the 16006 but cant get it to stick using the prl test function in TW. I will let you guys know what finally works.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stbrightman:
Question: It's there a prl that will connect with Sprint towers and lte as normal but will roam Verizon with 3G data? My apologies if this was addressed, take it easy on me, I've been putting thru multiple threads and I'm losing my mind. I'm running 56____ which is corporate Sprint, not allowing Verizon 3g. I was on 00003 which was a modded 00001 so I was on only Verizon, which sucks because it doesn't work with my AIRAVE at home, which is the cell signal suck hole of the universe..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
56006 DOES as does 16006. Look in my PRL thread in the dev section
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stbrightman:
Yeah I'm on 56006 and I'm not getting Verizon 3g at my house where I was 5 minutes before on 00003. I haven't ventured out to see how it handles, all signals really suck at my house so it could have been that, but I do get the roaming triangle now and no 3g on Verizon's tower while on 56006. I'll take your word and check it out around town tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Well it doesn't guarantee 3G roaming. It only will search for it first before it searches for 1x. With 00003 it IS a Verizon PRL that's modded to make the phone report it's not roaming so of course you will have 3G
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nttdemented:
I just tried this using CDMA Workshop's NV Reader/Writer. I backed up my NV settings, searched for setting 00442, changed the 6 to a 2, saved a new copy of my NV settings txt file, wrote it to the phone and rebooted and lo and behold I was roaming on 3G with 25006 PRL and LIH baseband in Puerto Rico. Roam Control reported I was on PCS 2000 L P witch is apparently now called ClearComm (Unless its "Claro", witch is a pretty big latin american provider). I've never heard of this provider on the island, previously Sprint roamed on Centennial PCS here before they got bought out by AT&T about a year ago.

And yes I'm in the camp that can't use Roam Control even with the update. Once I set Roam Only I get no service. I was noticing though that Roam Control changes the 00442 setting to 1 if I set it to Home Only, and it sets it to 6 if I set it to Automatic or Roam Only.

Mr. Greg, is there anyway that Roam Control can set this NV Settings differently? Or is that being set by something else in the system once your app tells the phone to Roam Only. I just did a BLAZINGLY fast 3G speed test while Roaming on 3G with the manually edited setting. I hit 2.5Mbps on my first try within Speed Test pointing to a Comcast server in Nashville, TN. I don't think I've ever gotten 3G that fast even when I did use Roam Control on a daily basis on my EVO 3D.

Yes that roaming SID in PR has 3g roaming enabled in the generic prl for regular accounts.

I think that those PRL's don't allow for 4g connections. Some folks claim that the PRL has nothing to do with 4g, but there are enough posts on XDA from people who say they flashed certain PRL's and lost 4g, then went back to the original and got 4g again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
Its missing two things. One is no 800SMR support. The second is the MCC/MNC records that are required for LTE to connect. Kind of like an LTE enable switch in each geo on the PRL.

11115 should only be used on a non 800smr chipset phone with no lte.. Like the original evo or the Epic.

3G Roaming in NYC

Can someone tell me a working PRL that allows 3G roaming in NYC Metro Area? Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
56006 is your best bet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
56006 is setup to allow 3G roaming there. But from what others have stated and I also found in the past. VZW has voice on the cellular band and data on the PCS. Makes sense population density there. With the RC "hack around" to get the GS3 to force roam it limits the phone to the cellular band only. So your phone will never scan the PCS band to obtain EVDO/3G which will limit you to 1X. Now if you were roaming on your own by having no Sprint signal, your phone should connect to 3G roaming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DarkManX4lf:
Yes I agree. I wish there was a way to get 3G roaming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] digiblur:
In many other areas it isn't like that, in my area VZW runs both EVDO and 1X in the cellular band, and they also have the PCS band to fall back on. And of course it doesn't work like that on HTC phones. An HTC phone with the 3G roaming PRL and set to Roam Only would work fine. Pro's and Con's...I'll trade an EVO LTE so you can roam ;)

Sent from my C64 w/Epyx FastLoad cartridge
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
RC doesn't automatically connect you to a Verizon tower. It just switches you to roaming, and you will connect to the first tower that matches the roaming criteria of your PRL.

For example... in Wisconsin, I have never connected to Verizon via Roam Control. It's always US Cellular.

When you have 00001 on there, please go to the ##DEBUG# screen and the 1X engineering section. What channel and band are you on? I suspect you are on PCS which means you are in the situation where it will not work due to the combination of GS3/Your location/Roam Control.
