[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrGreg:
I have a Nexus 5 on order, I'm hoping that I can find a solution that will work with the Nexus, and that it will also work with other LG phones. I'm hoping to have some answers in the next couple weeks. Sorry about your phone :(

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Does this happen every time? I saw this once during testing but was unable to reproduce it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] repinphilly247:
Looks like it works 75 % of the time in my unscientific testing. Toggled back and forth from automatic to roaming about 15 times, didn't work a few times but worked most of the time. Seems using the widget made it roam more consistently. I must have jumped the gun when it didn't work the first 3 times I tried. Thanks for the response. And no worries with the time it takes to toggle. As long as I can roam when I need to I'm a happy guy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrGreg:
I think I may have found out what's causing this...give me a few days to do some digging around and see if I can fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] damonbarnum:
Nbd there megreg

Thanks for checking it out. You rock. I'll look forward to the update!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrGreg:
I just put out RC version 2.10.0. It contains a tweak for the GS4 that seems to make it more consistent. Unfortunately it still takes the same amount of time to change the roaming mode, I haven't been able to reduce that yet. Let me know if you still see inconsistent behavior with the new release.

The new RC version 2.10.0 also supports the rooted Sprint Nexus 5. It's similar to Samsung phones in that it only roams on the 800mhz frequency band when in roam-only mode. This means it won't work in most of Texas, most of Florida, around the Chicago area, or in Puerto Rico. I'll keep looking to see if I can find a way around this but I'm not very optimistic at the moment.

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------

You can try the new version 2.10.0 and select Nexus 5 as your phone since it's made by LG. Let me know if you give it a shot, thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CyberpodS2:
2.10.0 does seem to be more reliable. I have needed to hit it twice a good amount of the time, but now it looks like it only takes one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] repinphilly247:
The update worked on the first try. I had to toggle back and forth a couple of times on the previous version. I will post back after couple of days to see how it works long term. Thanks for taking time to update. And don't worry about the time it takes to switch from roaming to not roaming. I have no problem waiting a couple of seconds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jhbryaniv:
Dang, I guess I will be using this while travelling mostly :)

Just sent you a email re:paypal email issue. . .

Looking forward to running this on my S4 with Sacs AWESOME 4.3 ROM. (I am still on old firmware...)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] repinphilly247:
When on MJA, Version 2.10.0 worked everytime I toggled.

I can say the app works on the MK2 update.

I updated from MJA to MK2 recently (ROM and kernel while still on MF9 bootloader; was not official update but the stock rooted and deknoxed zip file from XDA) and Roam Control put me into roaming 3/3 times I tried.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] frafael:
I am using MK2 stock(ish) - root MF9 bootloader. Region: Bay Area PRL 56015.

Installed Roam Control 2.10.0, tried to switch to roam only, NO SUCCESS for testing (suppose to roam in VZW). My phone remained on SPRINT 4G LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CyberpodS2:
On both Carbon aosp and Negalite TW, I usually need to hit the choice I want a couple times for it to change to what I want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Sacs Custom ROM (TW; 4.3) I hafta do the same thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] repinphilly247:
Update on my initial MK2 posting...Sometimes I do have to hit the roam / auto button a few times to get it to roam but it typically works 1st or 2nd time. If it doesn't work after that, usually restarting the phone solves that issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jhbryaniv:
[MENTION=2251169]MrGreg[/MENTION] you get that email I sent...

Anyone else have success with email?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] frafael:
Well I have tried the rainmaking ritual in both my office with strong SPRINT 3G and at home with no SPRINT coverage at all. think I spend $3.99 for no reason:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Beezer80:
For those of you having trouble forcing roam are you on a stock kernel a custom one?

The reason I ask is I'm unable to force roaming when using cm11 in conjunction with ktoonsez kernel. The kernel that comes with cm11 forces roaming just fine. No disrespect to ktoonsez, I love your kernel.

Just my two cents.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VanillaG0rilla:
My roaming status still shows false. Any ideas why?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtr145r:
the kernel has nothing to do with roaming. i use Ktoonsez kernel all the time and never had a problem.

probably because youre not roaming?

what PRL are you using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Beezer80:
I went back to the kernel that comes with CM11. I'm using PRL 56015
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CyberpodS2:
I was bored so I spent an hour or more trying this... cm11, carbon,negalite roms. All with packaged kernels and then with kt kernels. Roam control worked properly in every configuration. The only thing I can say is under all combinations I needed to hit it several times. But not every time. Seemed random. Possibly it just takes longer to make the change than I was willing to wait?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Beezer80:
Thanks for testing. I'll go back to the drawing board then.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] frafael:
I am using ktoonsez kernel! hummm... :mad: I am unable to switch to Roaming Only!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] frafael:
OK... I realized my Custom ROM have been updated. So, I upgrade my phone and now is working flawless.

Kernel: 3.4.78-KT-SGS4-JB4.3-TW-SPR-02.05.2014

GREAT APP... JUST NEED TO MAKE IT TO WORK!:laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Jay5583:
Has anyone tried this with the 4.4.2 update we just got?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Beezer80:
I use it with cm11, which is 4.4.2, all the time. I can't speak on a touchwiz ROM though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chico1983:
MrGreg???

Sir,

Are you going to be providing an update for the people that have the latest software NAE. Thanks.

Chico1983
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
It works perfectly fine with NAE.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chico1983:
Can someone else confirm this please, thanks.

I tried this twice while back and it did not work. Did it again after posting and its all good. I did not add or take anything away. Weird...

Really need roam control updated, cannot reach Dev.

I've been trying to reach developer because roam control doesn't work on my note 4. I have latest firmware and am rooted, and it doesn't work anymore after it worked fine on my S4. I really really need this app updated, and have offered the developer 50 dollars to update it for my note 4. Please help me get a hold of him if anyone knows how so I can donate to him to update it. Otherwise I will need to go back to Verizon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jhbryaniv:
I have emailed, pmed and posted to the developer. Haven't heard from him/her I consider it a lesson learned never pay for an app outside the app store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CyberpodS2:
In the case of roam control, he had to sell it outside play as they said it violated some crap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DAE51D:
So I presume this app is dead now? I too have upgraded from S4 to Note 4 and would love to get an updated/fixed version...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] The Amorphist:
Mirrors?

All of the websites seem to be down. Does anybody have a mirror/copy of Roam Control 2.9.2 they can post for my jfltespr?

Thanks,

Im in need of 2.9.2 for s5 as well...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Beezer80:
I have 2.9.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] piggynuts:
old versions are usually available in aptoide, go to the app then look under advanced, it will show previous versions. is there anyone out there willing to update this app? if you get it working on my phone I will offer $100
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] teammike:
i have 2.11.1

Is there anyway you can share your version with me?

I tried that no dice for me. I can write the PRL but can't force roam. It will roam on occasion but not always. I tried so far with mdc mdl and just released modem. Let us know if you have better results. BTW I am running TW roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] brendan802:
Same deal for me no matter what firmware(mdc, mdl,mf9). Hopefully he fixes this soon my service is bad alot of the time and the 00001.prl is nice but I enjoy the one click method like most people do.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sputnik767:
Well, it's not going to magically start working on its own. Have to wait for the dev to update it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Glitterloveglamour:
It says he updated it to support rooted s4, with the new update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtr145r:
yea but not for CM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] E The Magnificent:
This don't work any rom. Who ever say other wise is either trolling or lying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
+1. Doesn't work on TW or AOSP. Well I shouldn't say it doesn't work on TW. It does but then you're stuck in roaming until you re-activate your phone using the dialer code.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sputnik767:
That the version that doesn't work, despite what the dev claims. We all knew that the previous versions didn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] E The Magnificent:
I think the developer is just trolling with that bs none working update. I paid for app years back for it not to work now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dcoaster:
Bought the app and it worked fine on CM10.0, just upgraded to CM10.1 and no dice... I've heard it may be due to the new 3.4 kernel? Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sputnik767:
Give it some time before freaking out. The dev may not even have the S4 and is just trying to make it work. Obviously some feedback from the dev would be nice, but he is obviously trying to develop a version that works for the S4. None of us know the complications or difficulty of what he is trying to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] maxpower7:
That's true, but it would at least be nice to know what's going on with an app we paid for and now are unable to use. I emailed him and never got a response.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jspsuperman:
Im gonna try to reach out to the dev of this app also. I need this app to work properly at work since i get no sprint service in the building. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrGreg:
You are correct, the app does not work with MF9! I got it working on the MDL stock rom and put out the release (2.9.0), but had to go out of town the next morning so I didn't get much runtime with it.

I just upgraded a dev device to MF9 and discovered that the app no longer works. I'll look into it more tonight, although I think I know what the problem is. It's like they are purposely trying to hinder the app...

I'll see if I can fix it tonight after my son's baseball game, sorry!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jspsuperman:
This will be much appreciated :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtr145r:
Awesome! Much appreciated MrGreg. :)

Can you look into the "home only and automatic " part of it.

It looks like roam control can switch it to roam only but can't stitch it back most times.

I remember the gs3 doing this as well for the initial support release you did then you released an update to fixed that.

Thanks much!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrGreg:
That's interesting (in a bad way) that people's phones are getting stuck in roaming. All modes appeared to work when I tried it out initially, but as I mentioned before I didn't get much runtime with it.

Anyways, I believe I have everything working with the MF9 stock rom. I still need to clean a few things up and do some more testing. I am planning on having a new release Wednesday night. Thanks for being so patient!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtr145r:
Awesome! I'm on MDL for now I may update. There was something with cm that was stopping roam control from working but I think that's fixed.

I'm hoping I don't get stuck in roam only mode with the new release.

I had profiles set up with locale that I really want to turn back on . ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jspsuperman:
Patiently awaiting the update. :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtr145r:
yea hahah me too. i have it as one of my book marks so i click the link about 20 ish times a day :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrGreg:
OK, thanks for being so patient. Here's a new build that hasn't officially been released yet.

Roam Control 2.9.1 apk

I've been using it on the MF9 stock rom and all three modes (home, auto, roam) seem to be working. Remember that when switching from roam to auto, the phone will stay roaming for a small period of time before going back to a sprint signal (if available).

Also - if you use the app to put the phone into roaming, the phone's regular settings menu will not take the phone out of roaming (as many of you have discovered). You'll need to use the app to switch back to home or auto...and if that's still not working, then use the dialer codes for the time being.

Please let me know if you see any problems!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtr145r:
Works!

I'm going to keep tinkering with it to make sure it continues to.

Thanks MrGreg!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wileycoyote1103:
Works great with update. Just had to uninstall then reinstall. Thanks for your much appreciated work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Bock Abrams:
Odd. I'm running Liquid Smooth 2.8 ROM and Kernel on MDL firmware and I'm still having trouble even after the 2.9.1 update. "Roam Only" has no effect on the network I'm connected to.

PRL is 56013 which should be a sprint corporate 3g Roaming prl.

Half tempted to flash a new kernel or even update my baseband to M9F to see if this resolves the issue, but the moment it's a no-go for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtr145r:
yea try to update everything.

i did earlier today.

everything is working fine for me.

i toggled roam and automatic about 30 or more times to see if it would hang up and it didnt.

keep in mind that it may not be coming out of roam right away if your sprint signal is weaker than the roaming signal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Bock Abrams:
Yep. That's all it was. Just needed to be on the M9F baseband. Works now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Beezer80:
I'm running CM and had to uninstall the previous version then install this and it seems to works. I'll also keep testing.

Thank you so much MrGreg!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] miketucky350:
Thank you sir. Update works flawless.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] stealthee:
I only want to use this option as a backup. Should i use the 55015 prl because with forcerom mf9 i dont see it change. or should i be on the 00001 prl. I downloaded the 55015 from the xda section it references on your site but not sure if its the same as my 55015. Sorry for being a newb on this. Been flashing for ever and changing prls but i thought 00001 would put me verizon all the time.

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtr145r:
you want to use 56015 not 55015

0001 should be the back up if you cant roam on 56015 but that shouldnt be a problem.

dont use 0001 with roam control. it wount work so well because 0001 is setup to already be roaming. forcing roam on 0001 with make data and calls act all wonky.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] stealthee:
Ok now im running

[ROM][MF9] TriForceROM 3.0 - It's Dangerous to go Alone - Take This! {7/16/13} have the mf9 modem i updated to mf9 then rooted. And have 56015 prl showing but when i pick roam only. it never changes. i even hot rebooted and dialed 611 but still on sprint :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtr145r:
It may take a few minutes to change especially if the sprint signal is better than the roaming service.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] stealthee:
Left myself on roam only for the last well since i last posted and still on sprint :( checked roam control and the roam only was darkened. put it back to automatic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] stealthee:
OK I changed to the standard kernel and when I tell the phone to roam I get the circle with the line through it on the signal bar. Any ideas I could roam 2 phones ago and it seems that my last phone a HTC and this one refuse to roam.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jspsuperman:
Try 11119 home is sprint and roam is verizon, works great for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] stealthee:
nope still cant roam. im on the 16XX i got the little circle with the slash thru it soon as i turn on roam.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cruise350:
Try 56015, that allows roaming on Verizon, but doesn't only lock you into verizon like those other prls do. Maybe verizon has a tower down near. you. Also check your phone's settings to make sure you don't have roaming blocked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] stealthee:
I get the same things with 56015 :( soon as i turn on roam circle slash. back to automatic i get my signal back. i tried 0001 to see if sprint was keeping me from roaming on verizon and i got all bars and the msg from verizon i had to add the area code to make calls so thats working. but that perm roam also turned romaing guard off everythign including international and turned phone to cdma only. still circle slash on 56015.

Forgot to mention I even changed roms from triforce to

I would reset your radios, and start over. Sounds like something got goofy. :banghead: hate when that ish happens
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] stealthee:
What do you mean reset radios? I already had to do the dial ##72786# trick when i changed to stock rom. it seems that if your in roam and flash another rom it gets ugly lol. id say if i was really roaming i would of been stuck roaming but i was stuck with the circle slash till i dial ##72786# and got signal back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MarkerB:
Roam Control 2.9.1 works fairly well on my stock rooted odexed MF9, but sometimes cannot force home (Sprint-only) mode.

Also, changing between roam/home/auto kills GPS; after which I just need to turn GPS off and back on to regain its functionality.

it appears that when you toggle anything while connected to wifi it doesnt regain mobile data once disconnected from wifi.. .

only reason why that is bothersome is because i have roam control set up with at locale plug in.

other than that its working great.

Im sorry for sounding like a noob and I apologize ahead of time. I bought the app and I thought I would know what to do but I dont. I didnt read and thought I would be able to roam on verizons 4g network. I cant right? Whats the benefits of going to roam only? Or home? Or automatic?

Also would writing a different PRL to my phone help?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ifly4vamerica:
Nope can't roam off of Verizon's 4g. Roam only forces you to roam on Verizons 3g or 1g network. Flashing a different prl may allow 3g where your current one only allows 1g roaming. Most regular prls allow 1g roaming while corporate parks may allow 3g roaming then there are hacked prls such as 00001 that force roam on Verizon all the time without using roam control.

SGS4 Sent
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dtr145r:
No it won't roam on Verizon 4g.

It will roam on Verizon 3g with the proper prl (56015) and the phone network settings set up to allow roaming.

Basic benefits are if you are in a bad voice or data Sprint coverage area you could possibly roam to get better speeds or voice quality.

You want to have it set to automatic most of the time and roam only when needed.

I never really use home only...

Let me know if you have any other questions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] stealthee:
Anyone know what might be going on? Could it be my sprint profile? I could not also roam on my HTC evo LTE same problem. I know that had the roam only mod on it. But i would get the Triangle but unable to make any calls out. it was like my phone refused to dial out. no msgs just would tell me call failed. on my s4 i was in an area where i got the roam triangle and tried to make a call same thing no dial out just hung till call failed. BUT if i put the 00001 prl on the phone it calls out fine. if i use 56015 and roam contral and tell it to roam i get a circle slash no service. So frustrating.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jbarresi19:
Awesome thanks for that info...I do have a couple other questions if u dont mind. First is, so if I get decent 3g speed at my home this app is pointless when im home. Second is it worth it or difficult to change my prl to 56015? What are the pro and cons?
