Roam Control update - Nexus 5 Themes and Apps

Roam control has been updated for the Nexus 5. This is probably more targeted for those who are using sprint. I'd just thought I'd share.
My reason for roam control is because I can't obtain any service at work and roam forces me on Verizon when I need it most good stuff!

I just purchased Roam Control and it doesn't seem to be working for me on my Sprint Nexus 5.. I'm wondering if others have had any success with this? Hm could it have anything to do with me running Cataclysm ROM.

Praise be to Roam Control. Battery gets hammered for me at work this always helped out tons on my old phone. Fully functional for me on Sprint.

So I did get it working. When my phone is on LTE, it refuses to force roam. But after I set my phone to use 3G, it does switch over to Verizon roaming.
But my roaming download speeds are very, very slow... With a Galaxy S4, I was able to directly switch to a Verizon PRL which gave me speedy Verizon 3G..

I'm having trouble getting Roam Control to work on CM11. It worked fine on stock, but on every CM11 nightly I've tried it on it seems to not want to stick on roaming. Anyone else having this problem?

It should still roam for voice, even if you're connected to sprint lte

You don't even need roam control. if you know how to get into the "phone info" menu (Nova shortcut) then on the overscroll menu select radio bands. Put it on 800 mHz and you'll be roaming

I don't want to use a nova shortcut. I want to press the "Roam" button on the widget and start roaming!

Good for you for not wanting a viable always working alternative
And I'm pretty sure vzw doesn't use band class 10 so that's a moot point

When I played with the band settings on my photon q to force roaming it seemed to bork the phone's ability to connect to 1x800 on Sprint, so i'm a little leery about messing with them again. But thanks for kind of helping in this roam control thread.
I emailed the dev.. Will report back if I get a response.

How do you get to the "phone info" menu? Isn't Nova a launcher?

What a bummer. Only for Sprint phones. I need something like this to force my tmo to roam on att when I know it's there

Weird thing happening

Okay so I have this metro card from Taiwan and whenever I place it against the back of my phone or if I rub it against my phone while my phone is on and unlocked my phone gives a little chime does anyone know what it exactly is and how to disable it?
Just to clarify the metro card is like a little sensor that you place on a small pad not a typical credit card no stripes the whole thing is basically a sensor
I was going to upload a picture but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment

Most likely the NFC chime.

Oh, and to disable NFC go to settings - wireless and networks - more - uncheck NFC.

Loss of data?

I added a line to my girls account to get this phone. I've had problem since day one that I foolishly never took care of before the fourteen days. If I go into certain areas of town or sometimes even just on its own regardless I'll lose 3G and get error code 67. Updating prl or profile don't work, airplane mode, restarting the phone, nothing. It either kicks back in by its self in a couple hours or sprint has to be called to refresh the data. Anyone else have this issue? I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if it's my account. Happens across all roms and on stock too.

Are they upgrading the towers in your area? Here in Denver 3g keeps going in and out, 4g lte finally started popping up about 20 blocks north of my house
I've looked into it several times and I don't think so. My city isn't even on the list of cities scheduled to receive new towers soon. That would be great lol but I don't think it's the case.

Where did you check. Go to S4gru.com for LTE deployment info.

You can call Sprint they can do things on their end that might help to.

Rochester /Upstate NY..... Yeah about the only way to ever fix the problem is by calling Sprint or waiting for it to fix it's self whenever it feels like but it seems to happen again and again regardless. I forgot to include this usually just initiates when the phone starts updating the prl and profile by its self (can't figure out if it's by areas I go into or completely random) and either fails or loses data even after being successful.

[Q] S4 Actkve Sim Unlock? Service mode Menu

Can the s4 active be unlocked with the service mode menu?
anyone knows?
Seriously, you guys need to add your device to your user profile. Going to be hard to get help otherwise.

If you read the title of the thread you can clearly see that im asking for the s4 active, thanks.
Been trying to do this using the servicemode method everyone is describing for the S4.
Phone will not go into the UMTS menu mode as described.
Some have said that a recent update killed this method?
Yes. I cannot get into the service mode. The phone reboots.

No data/network coverage on Sprint GS4

I'm not sure what I did, but after rooting my Galaxy S4 I now have a circle with a line through it, and no bars 3g/4g icons show up.
I've updated PRL/Profile several times, and still nothing.
I think its my APN settings, how do I get new APN settings?

Btw try this code in the dialer pad. It should clear up your everything and reactivate your phone with sprint. ##72786#

Thanks, using the dialer got it working. I was about to take it to sprint.
I rooted myself using Odin 1.87

restore missing quick setting toggles?

Has anyone found a way to restore the missing quick setting toggles? specifically wifi hotspot and multi window. I had got them all restored on my S6 edge but so far none of the ways to restore them on the S6 seem to work on the S7 and it's really annoying not having them.
I've been wondering the same thing, I'm coming from the Moto X per and I liked having it there.

You can update the app called samsung good lock from the Samsung app store. It changes you lock screen, notification bar, and pretty much every thing about the system ui. It's cool I like it, however mobile hotspot toggle doesn't work as AT&T changed system to have to okay each time before enabling. Haven't found a work around yet for that
