Roam Control

*** NO ROOT REQUIRED FOR HTC PHONES, INCLUDING THE EVO 3D ***
*** ROOT REQUIRED FOR OTHER PHONES ***

New version includes a basic home screen widget!

Roam Control allows you to force roaming on your CDMA cell phone.  Supports HTC phones and Samsung phones (including the Nexus 4G) on the Sprint network. May also support HTC phones on other networks.  Please do not use with Samsung phones on the US Cellular network.

** Please understand that you will need enough of a signal to contact the Android licensing server the first time you run the app.  If you don't have a good cellular signal, try using wifi. If you believe there is an issue with the licensing, please try contacting me! **

Now includes a plugin for Locale and Tasker!

Roam Control is useful when you are in an area with a weak signal and your phone does not roam onto a stronger roaming signal.  Putting your phone into a "roam only" mode will make your phone choose the roaming signal, improving the reliability of your phone and improving battery life.

I will honor refund requests within 24 hours since the new market only gives you 15 minutes to try out an app.

Please refer to the website for questions and report issues to roamcontrol@gmail.com.  Please allow a reasonable amount of time (at least 24 hours) for a response.

Note: Samsung users may not see a signal when in "roam only" in the following areas: most of TX (except for the Houston area), most of FL, the Chicago area, and PR.  Please see the website FAQ for more information.  Feel free to give it a try - if it doesn't work out, please contact me for a refund.
