I know its not very convenient to soft reset every time you want to roam, but at least we have the problem narrowed down. Hopefully someone with some serious windows mobile knowledge will pinpoint the problem for us.

well atleast this way I know that I CAN roam so it is a problem with my pro but 3 in a row?? D@mn!

I remember when I had dreams rom it worked via settings, phone, roaming options.
But not with any other rom.

Just perfect! exactly what I needed. It stinks having to soft reset the phone and the longer process every time I want to do this, but this is great still. Thank you very much...

yea it sucks but what can ya do? I'll just keep it on auto and hope for the best. Kinda the way it goes with sprint anyways...lol

Heh, yep... I've actually have gotten used to it by messing with it through the day, if anything just a little longer than the actual phone settings where the cab is (except for the soft reset of course). It's not that bad when you need it as bad as I do. So now I just set it on roaming when I get in the house, but afterward I only have to go to normal phone settings and select automatic and it'll change without restarting. This is just great I can surf the internet if I want to, I won't miss or drop any calls, etc, all at the comfort of my bed

. Hehe, I've been needing this fix real badly.

EDIT: I hate that automatic thing, i mean it's definitely better than sprint only, but that constant change of signal messes my data up (can't use it). And even when there's just a tiny bit of signal, where on roaming there's double, it'll still try to use sprint's.

I'm the other guy that could not receive data while roaming ever since I got the phone.
In addition I could not make a call as I got a message saying "verizon could not authenticate your phone"

After 5 weeks of speaking with dozens and dozens of sprint techs, a tech this morning said she did something to re-authenticate my phone.

Now to my surprise data works fine while roaming.

I have no force roam stuff on the phone. My setting is just on automatic........

I hope this may have helped someone.....

Guys I messed with the registry and I found a solution.
At least its working for me
I changed ItemValue3 and ItemValue4 to 5
and now I can choose roaming or Roam Only without going to ##778#

Try it and let me know if it works.. Because I made a lot of changes before, but I have it working with those settings.

I was able to choose it before (it appears under settings), but the signal wouldn't lock. But maybe this ^ doesn't apply to what my issue was(is).
