if it's on your plan, that's yer answer.

*i most def. don't pay fer roaming.
i'm in ny now and i find my self roaming quite a tad now. =/

compare a vzw coverage map to a sprint one.
major headshaker.

Testing this on the Mogul:

The actual key location he meant to write is:

Under HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\LocationSetting

Under that is the key for ItemCount, just trying the fix now, first made sure the registry change kept after restart.

No Automatic -B setting appears after this change.

On the mogul as far as I can tell this doesn't work.

This section you refer to is the GPS options.

to get automatic B change this value to "4"

but im telling you it has adverse battery affects. at least in my experience as well and a bunch of others.

hes right!! it doesnt apparently work on the mogul!!!

Additional options can be found checking Verizon phone registry.

There are also posts in Titan and Apache forums on how to enable other phone options. One being "Mode of Operation".

BTW Automatic-B forces the phone to use the B side instaed of the A side of the PRL.

NOTE: The correct location of OP, should be in HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSettings\NetworkService And the values/key are not present on the Diamond.

Updated, left a DIR out of the reg edit area. Damn late night posts!

On the mogul, you have to follow the previously discussed method where you add 2 entries and change one.

This should work on the *NEWER* phones, which the mogul isn't.

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.

Hi, I'm new to the site & need to know where one goes to change the setting info for roaming?? I saw some of the posts here but doesnt tell you how to get to that point. I have the first model m800 instinct with Sprint. I have no bars or just one on occasion but every once in a while I'll roam with 100% full service. How can I go about forcing it to roam or even get it to roam if there is no bars?? Any & all info would be great, Thanks. Joe.....

Wrong place my friend..the M800 is no ppc. I would try Sprintusers.com, I think the have a pretty decent Instinct following.
