Thank you!

hey modma,

if you call sprint, they should be able to fix it for you. i had the same problem and gave them a call, and now everything is working like it was before.

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

Was there any particular number that you called or something specific that you said? i'm always afraid to call Sprint in fear they will mess up my old grandfathered plan!

Thank you so much!

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

You don't even have to soft reset. You can go into your phone settings and now have the option of Roam Only and when you select it you get the little triangle for roaming.

See this post for the workaround on getting the settings to stick after a soft reset: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...60&postcount=9

any chance u could expoert the inf from ur registry and upload it? I can't get this to work when I do it. I would like to try an import. thanks!\


sO...since I haven't heard anything I flashed the stock ROM 3.35, then exported the registry setting. Then I went back to my favorite no2chem ROM and imported the settings which were missing.

I'll upload them when I get a chance so others can do the same!

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.

i downgraded my prl but i still can't roam. i know verizon has coverage around here but whenever i select roaming only, it goes to 1x and is actually still on the sprint network. i found this out because i went to an ip tracking website and it showed me i still had a sprint ip address. any ideas to get roaming working? thanks
