http://ectnews.com.feedsportal.com – Minimal signal bars? In the middle of nowhere? Your phone should automatically roam onto alternative networks designated by carrier roaming agreements, but sometimes it doesn't -- the phone can appear biased towards your home network. I've been looking at Roam Control, an Android app -- not available in Google Play -- that lets you force your phone to roam. I've been intrigued by this app because I've often seen my phone flip-flop between its native Sprint and roaming, as designated by a tiny triangle icon adjacent to the signal bars. (General)

Newb questions 30 weeks 4 days ago

Hey all. I'm really new to android and I have some questions. I have the optimus net from net10. As to my understanding, it runs off Sprints towers, but sprint has a contract with verizon so that they can roam on verizon towers. Can my phone roam on verizon towers? I notice that my data icon and bars are sometimes white instead of green.

[Q] Force roam on to Sprint? 20 weeks 6 days ago

Hello,

Is there a way to force my galaxy s3 on to sprint? I know normally people want to do the reverse. The problem is where i sit in the building( i work in a converted mall) i get crap verizon signal but other people who have sprint have better signal.

I found an app that will do it called roam control but its for sprint phones only and i dont want to buy it if it doesnt work.

I've heard that sprint will kick you off you're contract if you roam more then 300mb or 700 minutes In a month is there anyway to do this so I won't have to drive somewhere where Sprint has no service

I have tried roam control, and it doesnt work. I have emailed them with no response yet, but wanted to know if anyone else has figured this out yet?

I have 5 Cisco 1200 Access point. 1 of them is running as WDS and 4 AP is using it.

I am using Default Radio Channel: Least Congested Frequency.

On the AP running WDS, I can see all 5 APs are registered by:

show wlccp wds ap

The problem is, in room1 my laptop (Dell laptop running Windows 7) connects to AP1, then I walk to room2, it does not roam to AP2. Same for room3's AP3.

Roaming... 20 weeks 1 day ago

For some reason since yesterday my phone has been stuck on roam at my house. I've tried shutting my phone off and turning it back on in hopes of picking up another tower but no luck. I've never had a problem with service at my house before so I don't know what the deal is. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I keep getting an error when I try setting to roam only. Was just wondering if it was the Rom or maybe the kernel. Thanks for any help.

I found this today on roamctrl.com
