Roam Control on Sprint GS5 - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone tried it and got it to work? Doesn't work for me on R.D.D.T ND2.
@MrGreg any chance of you supporting the Sprint GS5?

I just got my hands on a GS5 the other night and was able to get Roam Control working with it. I literally just put the apk on www.roamctrl.com, please try it out and let me know if you see any issues. Thanks!!!

@Joe0113 You never updated this post on your results.
@MrGreg Running Roam Control v2.11.1 on the Sprint Galaxy S5 and the phone does not appear to be switching to roaming. Is there anything you need from me to help with this or any suggestions?
Tnx - TD
Edit: Flashing back to stock to test it again to be certain nothing else is interfering. Will report right back.

Update:
Still unable to get it to roam. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I am on a Sprint Framily plan? I'm not able to find a clear answer if it supports roaming or not but I've found several replies that says it does. So not definitely sure if that's my problem or not.

Same build.
It's been quite a while since I've used this but I selected GS5 and Roam Only and the LTE symbol never goes away. The status says not roaming.
I'm still on NCB baseband/modem if it makes any difference.

That explains why.... you can't force roam on LTE.

what mode did you have it on that didn't allow roaming?

When I looked, it was set for LTE/Cdma. I think changing it to Cdma only was what allowed roam control to work. Then when I was done, I put it on automatic.
Edit: See Joe's previous post. You can't roam on LTE so you have to force it to CDMA mode before activating forced roaming with the app.

Not true. Only if you have an LTE connection you have to switch it to CDMA only.

How to at least get 3G back for now while verison works stuff out.

If your someone whos stuck on 1x this will at least get you back to 3g.
Use the ##778# menu (hit call after ##778#)-->password is 000000-->modem settings-->Rev A-->choose enable-->hit the menu button on the tbolt and commit changes
Update:
So to answer the question of should you change this back?
The default setting is eHPRD which is verizons simultaneous voice and data 3G network. By hitting enable your switching your phone do EVDO or Rev A is pretty much their older 3G netowrk. The info is yours now you make the call of weather you should or shouldnt
To Revert back once everything is fixed:
Use the ##778# menu (hit call after ##778#)-->password is 000000-->modem settings-->Rev A-->choose eHPRD-->hit the menu button on the tbolt and commit changes
So is this a network problem or a phone problem because of flashing radios?

Actually I think it is just 4G. The reason our phones lose 3G as well is explained in this article.

The issue with not getting 3G can be fixed by following the instructions in the OP.

It worked on my phone, although it did take a minute or two once my phone rebooted before the 3G connection started. That was probably because I am in a building that actually gets great 4G coverage, but spotty 3G coverage.

Thanks for this. I was beginning to think it was the rom I was using.
I wish i'd have seen this sooner...I thought it was the ROM as well and unrooted my phone this morning just to find that wasn't it. CS informed me there was a nationwide outage after the fact (I have been stuck on 1X since yesterday)
Quick question - I was so quick to try this that I didn't pay attention to the original settings of the phone does anyone know what they are so I can revert back when the system comes back up?

[Q] LTE on CM10 tried everything

For some reason I cannot get LTE to work at all on CM10. I've done everything and it still wont work at all. I tried reverting back to stock rom, and when I did, LTE worked. So I thought if I went back to CM10 from stock it would resolve the issue, but it did not. I've checked my APNs and I cannot change the preferred network mode and i tried *#*#info#*#* and i can't change anything there to anything that has LTE on it. I'm not sure if it's just a problem with the ROM or what, but I've done plenty of researched, searched all the forums, and can't find anything that will fix.
Additional information:
Im in ATT
I've tried all the radios
and I AM in an LTE area.

Ok, try different apn. Which cm10 are you trying to use?
Does the problem happen on other ROMs? I'm not saying to use a different ROM, just saying that if it doesn't happen on, say, AOKP or Orthus (both CM-based), it's probably an issue with how CM10 is configured on your phone.
If you go into network operators (settings -network)and select att it will allow to change modes.

Haha yeah most of the time this setting is overlooked and this option enables you to turn off LTE if you want (which you don't have to have a RAT unlocked modem as presumed) and if you go to *#*#4636#*#* on your dialer you can have it set to LTE only as well.

I actually have another problem now, after a reboot, it doesn't show any options for me to choose under available networks?
it came back after a few tries but then went away again, it's not consistently there to choose.
Does it show a searching animation?

I have the exact same issues. I've done everything on this post plus done all the research as well. For my problem whenever I enter an LTE area my data service completely drops for about 5 seconds and then when it connects it only shows HSPA+. I have never been able to pick up LTE. When I was on CM9.1 I had no issues at all. LTE connected with no issues. So is this a CM10 issue or a phone issue?
try this, might help, might not, make a backup, if you have more than one apn, remove all apn's except your lte apn(ATT Pta, for rogers :ltemobile), restart phone
edit: of course make sure it was set to the lte apn in the first place, if it was and still have probs, do above procedure if you have more than one apn

For some reason my APN was not set to the lte one (ATT Pta). I changed it to that. Hopefully that fixes my problem. Thanks for the help!
I have a slightly different problem. I am running the latest cm10 nightly and notice that any time I get lucky and go into a 4g coverage area I can only make phone calls. No data transfers at all. I have my APN set to ATT LTE pta which I assumed is the right selection. Im normally in a A3g(HSPA)~700-17 coverage area. Is this the wrong APN to use?

Do you automatically switch back and fort from 3 to 4g with that APN setting when you move around without losing data capability?

Yup. I have HSPA/HSPA+ around my house but close to work I have LTE. No problem with switching or losing data connection when I go from HSPA to LTE. Just double check your APN settings. There might be a typo or some missing field. Or you can create a new APN for lte and use that as your default.

T-Mobile files for skyrocket

I know there will be complaining why didn't I search, but I honestly have. Looking for the modem/s that will give me 3g on the skyrocket. This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507825 is the only thing I've found, but the site wants me to sign in but I don't have an account. I've searched Google, the T-Mobile forum and found nothing. I also tried adding the fast apn, but get no signal at all with that one. Anyone have the combination of modem and apn for me? Not in an area that's got even 4g thru att. Closest 4g is 30 miles away. Mod, if posted in the wrong forum, forgive me and please smack my hand and move it.

Thanks so much guys. Was looking so much for the modems in that thread only, that I missed the recommendations of the blaze modem. Thanx again..
Ok got 3g (shows the 4g icon in the panel) with the fast apn. Able to send and receive mms, BUT when its on the 3g, I have no cell service, meaning no calls or texts come or go. Going back to the default apn, got service back but only E and can't send or receive mms. I've noticed alot of people with this problem, but everyone just tells them make sure to use the fast apn. I'm at a loss where to go from here. Any ideas?

T-Mobile does not offer the Skyrocket. Skyrocket is AT&T's version of the device. T-Mobiles version of the phone is called Titanium. Model # SGH-T989... I'm not sure if XDA has a section in the forum for it but I would definitely search for that specific device if that's what you have.

Actually the T-Mobile version is called Hercules.
Well guys, I officially give up. I have tried numerous modems and no luck whatsoever. Tried changing apns to what others have reported success with, no luck. 4g shows temporarily with blaze, but it has no internet, mms or calling available. Once the 4g turns to edge, there is still no internet, but calls work. Texts go thru, but no mms. I am frustrated beyond belief. Guess he gets a wifi only data enabled phone that makes calls and SMS messages only.

I'm in the same boat. I have tried everything I can find on these forums and can only get 2G. The phone will briefly connect to HSPA and LTE, but will not get data and cannot make phone calls. I just wish I knew how others are connecting to Tmobile with their phones. Wish I had just bought another hercules since it works perfectly. It doesn't get LTE, but usually I'm at 10-12 MBPS on HSPA.

I have a feeling that many of the success stories are in or near refarmed areas. Me, I'm 30+ miles from even H speeds on att or T-Mobile. And I'm not in what I consider a rural area with over 300000 people living in the 2 immediate towns to me, close to Edwards Air Force Base.

Use Sprint Note5 on Tmobile

Hi guys, this is my first post so please be easy on me. I have an unlocked Sprint Note5 that I use on Tmobile network right now. I added the 'fast. t-mobile.com' APN and have mobile network working. BUT ONLY 3G!! The fastest I've gotten so far is about 10 Mbps or so, and usually it's just 2-3 Mbps.
My question: is there a way for me to get LTE on this device with Tmobile? Or it's hardware/software impossible? For the simple reason of Samsung Pay, I'd rather not root my phone. The Samsung Pay has given A LOT promotions so far and I prefer to keep it.

I was in this same predicament. You have to choose LTE.
What worked for me was choosing LTE/CDMA mode from Network Mode and then when setting up the APN, there should be a section at the bottom that says 'Bearer'. Click that and choose LTE. After that LTE started working for me. You should also be able to switch to Automatic Network Mode after this.
so is the phone already unlock
OMG, it worked like magic!! Who would know to choose LTE/CDMA knowing that Tmobile uses GSM. Many many thanks!! All of sudden I'm getting ~50 Mbps v.s. the 2 Mbps 3G speed. This is NICE!

I bought the phone at full price at Best Buy and it took me a while fighting with Sprint to get it unlocked (I was with Sprint at the time even). According to their unlock policy posted online, the phone should be automatically unlocked already if bought at full price. They honored that but it just took forever and so many departments to get it done eventually. You'd have to be tenacious about it. I plan to do a factory reset with tmobile sim in to get rid of all the Sprint bloatware.

I got the same problem, but a little worse. I bought a SM N920P unlocked by mistake (from ebay) as I didn`t know that Sprint was CDMA. I live in Brazil and there`s only GSM carriers. It works here for voice and data but can only get 3G (up to 8mbps) while my other phone (moto e 4G) goes up to 30 mbps. And if I choose LTE/CDMA it goes offline .
And worse, it always trying to activate and receiving the message 'activation not completed'.
I wonder if I root it could it be turned from N920P into N920i or any other.... is it possible?

Have you figured this out yet? For me, you had to choose LTE from the "Bearer" setting in the APN settings. Not only Network Mode.

Hey I'm on Verizon note 5, and I haven't found a fix yet. However, u can follow my fix here.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3280342
last post in the thread. I've found a way to enable LTE, until a phone call is made, then u need to switch back to cdma/LTE until LTE pops up, then switch it back to global. It's a solution, but kind of sucks.

fix for all your issues.
This is the fix that worked for me but, you need to have your MSL code for the phone...everything works for me LTE MMS everything.

As far as to remove hands free activation..your phone needs to be rooted and follow this guide since this method worked for me.

You need to put it back to auto after you get lte to work. This allows it to switch between the two when you are making calls or online. If you keep it in lte/cdma, your gsm carrier will not wotk.
This worked for perfectly for me! Thanks foruonlyfrom007 for the advice to set it to automatic. Now i have LTE and can make calls with no issues! And by the way all you have to do is download package disabler from playstore to stop the activation, no root necessary

Yes I was able to get mms working perfectly simply by adding port 80 as the mms port.
My only problem now is that mms only works when I am not connected to wifi. If I receive any mms I have to disconnect from wifi and then tap it to receive it.
If anyone knows how to make mms work with wifi too, please comment and add @textbook.

ive had this issue on many phones theres a setting about download mms while on wifi usally on most 5.1 and newer not all bu most
it kicks in lte or highest data speed avail even with wifi on just to dl the mms
something about wifi handover to lte making sure wifi calling is on but i saw a setting in mine somewhere just for that

LTE speeds while using VoLTE

I am currently a T-Mobile customer, and my phone drops to 3g speeds during phone calls. Thing is, my Nexus 6 (and even the crappy TMo Revvl) don't lose any speeds, and still operate with full LATE service, while my fancy U11 slows down.
Does any other TMo customers experience the same thing?
I do not experience what you describe.
Does your phone maintain LTE icon the whole time?

Depends on the ROM. For some, it goes from LTE to H, LTE+ to LTE, or LTE to 4G. Either way, the icon always changes to reflect a slower data connection, and my speed tests have confirmed that this is not a cosmetic change.

Right, sounds like VoLTE is not working properly on your device. It should maintain LTE the whole time.
I don't recall doing anything specific other than making sure it was turned on in settings.

Can you load your APN settings, please? Of course the link with the screenshot doesn't link to the correct picture...

Thanks! I will adjust in a few minutes.
These settings didn't work for me. Still behaves the same way. In fact, the screenshot is exactly the same as my default APN. I guess I should have mentioned that I have the Sprint HTC U11 that I unlocked, and now using T-Mobile. I did not S-Off and flash over to unlocked as yet.

That seems like an important detail since Sprint uses special firmware... I think that's your problem. Install the US unlocked ROM.

Not the ROM....seems like I need to S-Off and flash the firmware itself. I I'm on a unlocked ROM.
