This isn't anywhere on the web, so you're seeing it from me first. It's about as simple as it comes too...

Edit the registry as follows
Under HKLM\Software\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSetting
Change ItemCount from 2 to 3
Save
Soft Reset

On reboot, start > settings > phone > services > roaming > select the new option that is revealed "Automatic-B"

This is the cloaked "Roam Only" feature that is causing issues. Do not rename anything, it is not needed and may cause issues.
This may work on other PPC sprint phones too, so don't be afraid to try it.

ENJOY!
say good bye to your data connectivity and battery. we monkeyed with these settings in a previous juicy rom and it was horrible.

so im curious to see what you find.
i had this set and could not get it to stop flipping from "searching for network" to Home signal to "roaming" every 5 sec and it killed my battery in about 2h when i was down by the boarder in a roaming area. and automatic b didnt change anything.
