I know of that setting however it is not what I am looking for. Home is not needed ever....and auto is too sensitive to my location and sticks with sprint in places where it should just switch and save me time, effort, and battery life.

Where I live I get 2 bars of service, but if I go inside my house I have 1 to 0 bars. Therefore what happens is of course the phone wants to struggle its life out to get that one bar (my battery dies in like 3 hours) and by the time the bar hits 0 it doesn't leave enough time to attach to a roaming tower and bounces back to 1 bar. This cycle continues and continues. Therefore I have three options:
A) Pay for an air rave because they won't give me one for free because they said I have sufficient service according to techs they have sent to my street to test. I also am a college student and use sprint because my monthly bill would go from $70 approx/month to over $100 with Verizon. No can do on a budget.
B) Lay my phone on the basement floor with a book on top of it and a stack of pillows with the volume turned up so I can at least hear the ringer now that the one will auto to roaming most of the time with this process
C) Stick with windows mobile because its the only software that forced roaming can be unlocked at the moment.
