Force Roam - Found!
 

If you're unfortunate like me and do not have but sprint 1x service, just enable roaming and you'll be up to speed. From what I deduce, this roams voice too. I needed both and it works.

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!

hmmm, from the one post wounder.

looks like if it works.... you may have found some friends. i dont need it, but i do know many have missed this options on recent ROMs and devices.

Re: Force Roam - Found!
 

There's no ItemCount key at that location.

Re: Force Roam - Found!
 

be aware that if the majority of the minutes are used "roaming" for the billing period, you will be charged romaing fees.

Re: Force Roam - Found!
 

what if u have roaming in your plan, will sprint charge u roaming?

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.

Re: Force Roam - Found!
 

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

Re: Force Roam - Found!
 

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.

This section you refer to is the GPS options.

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.
