is there any app for the 8330M from sprint that can force roaming? because at school i get no signal and also anytime it rains around my area my signal goes down.. and when it goes on roaming its good but then it changes back to sprint and goes down again.. any app or anyway i can force my phone to roam?

There are several threads in these forums (83XX, etc.) that ask the same thing.

So far no one has come up with a solution, other than to downgrade to 4.2 on the 8330. Since you have the 8330m, you don't have the option to downgrade to 4.2 which offered the Forced Roaming option.

You could probably paste in the .cod files from the 8330 4.2 OS java folder into your 4.5 java folder to get the option. No one has tried this yet...

Oops, the software you are downloading are for 4.3, not 4.2

Look at the Application Version, not the Package version.

If its only a sprint thing, why then when you install a os from an other company (like att) it does not give you the roming only option ?

Yorkkid11 you should also consider that its your 8330M that causing the problem rather then roming, since a lot of people are complaining on the "M's" radio.

That was so you could get the 4.3 files for a possible hybrid.

for the 8330m there is only 4.5..

I know. Hence, the hybrid using 4.3 files in the base 4.5 OS.

hmm how about some kind person out there makes a hybrid for all of us and we all thank that person generously :]

[xliderider]

Generously, as in $$$?

well if somebody made the hybrid that would allow to roam when i choose i might also it would have to be one that doesn't drain my battery ! last hybrid .160 drained it like crazy till i upgraded to alltel new .169 for the M that works amazingly you guys should give it a try it even improved my signal https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/browseSoftware.do
