Allergic: New page: Would it be possible to add a "Roam Only" function to the menu bar along with wi-fi, bluetooth, etc? As it is now, it's somewhat cumbersome to turn on.

		+	We've been having reception issues with the Pres at work. The roam-only patch seems to pretty much resolve things. But it occurred to me that's kind of a heavy-handed approach.
		+
		+	Isn't the real problem that the Pre's roaming algorithm gives far too much weight to Sprint towers? I mean it will roam with the default settings, but only as a very last resort. It seems like in some cases, roam-only could actually impair your reception (if you're right on top of a Sprint tower). It's not that we don't want to use Sprint towers -- there just aren't enough of them and we want the best signal possible.
		+
		+	Also, as I understand, it costs Sprint more when we're on other company's towers. I'm sympathetic to that, especially because more cost to them equals higher prices for us in the long run.
		+
		+	So how 'bout it, has anyone poking through the code seen anything that might indicate we can alter the phone's affinity for Sprint towers versus non-Sprint towers? Then the phone could pick the tower with the best signal indiscriminately. --[[User:T3rmin\|T3rmin]] 17:22, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
