I'm still not on the OFFICIAL version of the ROM, just the leaked Official one so I still have the Roam Only option, however I don't have EVDO with it. I do however get full bars inside my house for call signal XD...

Maybe I missed it, but is there a today plug in or something you can push on the home screen to change it into roam? I hate having to dig all the way down into the phone settings to change it to roam only. Thanks.

I think Alltel is the only roaming partner that allows EVDO, all others will only roam on 1X, so that's normal. In most areas we will roam on Verizon, which only allows us 1X.

This also happens to me, when i do roam only, the voice calls are all on the verizon network because if i don't give an area code it goes to a verizon message, but on the web if i check my ip i get a sprint one.

help?

I asked a similar question earlier on in this thread. So far the answer has been no. Too bad. This would be a great feature for some of us that routinely go to areas with little or no coverage.

this works for sure... I am running the stock rom and can data and voice roam....

first install cab...makes all the changes..wait a couple of minutes .. then soft reset. then call sprint and tell them that you need an update...Its some some sort of roam authorization file.. they change something on their end.. and you receive this auth file...after you talk to tech support they will ask you to call back with *2 the reproggraming begins it prompts you to soft reset.. then phone acts weird for about five minutes... ....since this I have not had any issues with roaming data or otherwise...

I did post this some where else but nobody searches anymore...

ps I did not right this cab... but thanks to whoever did

after doing both these things everythings cool man cool..

Excuse me for being noob. But what's the reason to force roam? Is it because some ppl have Verizon carrier and they flashed a Sprint rom onto it?

Actually I want to do the exact opposite. I have Sprint, but I'm afraid that if I have active data connection and the phone cuts into Roaming (I awlays roam in Home Depot), I will get hit with a roaming fee. Is there a way to disable roaming altogether?

Sometimes you might be in a fringe area,..... where your phone will switch back and forth between sprint and non sprint towers.. or you don't have any sprint service near your.. but there is service.. this eliminates the phone need to search for sprint.. and locks you on to anothers carrier.. usually verizon..

and if you have sprint.. there is no extra charge for roaming so.. might as well make your phone work...thats what its for..

hope this helps...
