I have a quick question. Force roaming is working for me. How do I know which network I am on? Thanks.

The settings are

Under HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting
Change AllowRoaming to 0 (not sure if this is needed or not)

Under HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\NetworkService
Change ItemCount to 3 (instead of 2)
Create a new String called ItemName3 with the value of "Roam Only" (without quotes)
Create a new DWord called ItemValue3 with a value of 3

and

do the reg entries in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\InitProv\PhoneSett ing

change ItemCount to 3

New string: ItemName3 Value- Roaming.

New Dword: ItemValue3 Value- 3

At the risk of sounding like a retard...

Those instructions are beautiful and clear, but I don't know how to get into those folders, or update those files on my phone.

Does my phone need to be connected to my PC?
Can I update these settings directly from the phone itself?
Can someone walk me through this from the Today screen?
Could someone please write a .CAB for me?

Thanks,
Zak

I downloaded "MobileRegestryEditor" (searched registry editor on google) and did the exact steps mentioned above and it works! rebooted my touch and still there! hanging out like a hair on a biscuit ROAMING ONLY! where i live, and my old FREE ROAMING plan this is a must.

many thanks to the directions as this is the first time i've attempted registry EDITING on a mobile device and the process was made very easy, with COMMON SENSE! *once you see it you'll understand what I mean*

I recommend at least taking a look at your registry with one of these programs and maybe click around a min or two.

btw, this was done on a sprint touch.

much love!

Any cab file for this roam only option?

How do people use this option? Do you leave your phone roaming all the time or do you toggle back and forth?

I have decent coverage at home (Sprint) but I have no coverage at work, but Verizon comes through great. Anyways, I find that it's a hassle to switch back and forth. Is it possible to write a script that could do this for you? Preferably something that you could put in the programs menu or a launcher menu.

This is exactly the reason to force Roaming.
