Forced Roaming

Any word if anyone made progress on this? I need it so badly where I live. Its ONLY at my house I need it, everywhere else including outside of my house in my driveway I get at least two bars. I saw some threads on XDA but it was just getting bumped and bumped no responses.

I don't need it but others might. Can you report back here what your results were with this and how well it worked for you? TIA.

I will once he answers my question. They were using the Hero not the Moment if QPST will work for Samsung we should be ok.

....bump

So is there still no word on this yet? I finally activated my TP2 once the official update came out and I am so relieved to have forced roaming back. Although the phone is way slower than my moment, I'd rather not be missing phone calls because I have one or less bars in my office. I would seriously pay $50 for this option if someone could whip it up!

QPST is working for the moment - I'm able to access the same System menu - but I haven't been able to get it to roam yet... but I'm right under a Sprint tower, so maybe that's part of it...

edit to add: instead of using ##3324#, the moment uses ##UPST# to allow you to toggle to modem (although I think that starting up in USB debugging may give you the same thing)

what does ##upst# do? I do have trouble with switching to 1x for no reason, my area has good reception.

That's a problem with our phones. Its not actually roaming its using 1x for texting and phone calls and stays there locked. What I am talking about is straight roaming to another closer tower when needed.
