No 3G data roaming on Frozen 1.2.0

So we are out on vacation and I can't get a 3G signal. I am using Syndicate Frozen ROM but my wifes unrooted phone gets 3G. It does work within the Sprint network but not when in roaming. Any fix for this? I also can't update my PRL here. Thanks!

I believe that the unrooted stock rom erroneously reports 3g no matter what data signal it is receiving. Have you/she ever seen it not report 3g?

Have you run a speed test on your wife's unrooted phone. She might not be getting 3G either. Most Sprint smartphones will only display 3G as the network you're on no matter what it really is (sometimes 1x, a 2G technology!).
If she is getting at least 300kbps then she does have 3G. To get yours to work on it you need to manually update your PRL.
The attached 11114 PRL has 3G roaming nearly everywhere

Will 11114 still work wen my current PRL is 60680? Also my wife does not have a speed tester app on her phone however she is able to load things faster than I am.

It doesn't matter which PRL you are currently on, if you do what it says in the link you will get 11114 PRL.
However, Sprint will roll you back to 60680 you don't freeze system updates, which you can do with Antek Application manager (in the market).

So with 11114 will sprint be complaining of roaming like on 00001 or be just fine.

If you go over 300mb while roaming it certainly is a possibility. You can still do that without this or the 00001 prl. Usually they only get mad if they notice you aren't using the sprint network at all anymore or if you do 1gb+ roaming per month.

Well as an update I never had the chance to change my PRL and give it a shot. I figured it wasn't worth making the wife mad at me for messing with my phone while we were on vacation. I still would like to know why this happened. I almost never go anywhere that I don't have the Sprint network. Thanks for the help anyways everyone!!

If you are having loss of service after rooting with zedomax kernel...

Can you check your PRL and see if you are on 60681? I am just curious if this has anything to do with it?

I'm on that prl but without issues

i think u may be on the right track. Tanimn from ACS thinks this might be the prob. For people that are on 60681 and still have the bug try updating your PRL anyways. Apparently they sometimes upgrade prl w/out changing the number.

Had to reboot my phone about 5 times today because of this issue. It happens when my phone loses a signal, it never picks it back up until after I reboot. prl is 60681

I had this problem; turned wifi off and 3g didn't kick on. Updating the PRL seems to have fixed it.

RoamControl doesn't work for me.

I don't understand why it doesn't work. I put Samsung as the phone device under settings. It just gets LOS whenever I hit roam. I emailed the dev shortly after purchase and he hasn't responded.
Any suggestions?
I'm on PRL 60687.
EDIT: FF02 radio, CM9 alpha 5 (no mods added).
EDIT2: It hasn't work for me on GB or ICS Touchwiz leaks either. Is it just because of my location? I have relatively good sprint signal at home, but I like to use the roamcontrol at my cousins house.

First of all, there is no point in roaming on Sprint's network with their PRL. It will only give you 1G speed anyway. You need to change your PRL according to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521343
The 11119 PRL is the one that is normally recommended. It allows you to roam 3g on verizon's network.
That being said, roam control doesn't seem to work for everyone for some reason. You may want to go back to a stock modem and GB if it's not working for you on ICS. I use it on a stock based FE22 ICS kernel but I'm still on EL29 modem. (The ICS modems never seemed to make a big difference for me so I quit trying to keep up )
If you get stuck or need more help, reply here, PM me or reply in the PRL forum for specific help with that too.

After you hit roam, go to your settings and go to your roam settings. Turn off your roaming and then back on. Then disable your roam gaurd. It won't show the roaming icon but it does work. I checked my roaming usage and I am at 2.5GB of roaming. I'll probably get kicked soon.

Hey Peanut. You finally figured out your problem? Which PRL did you end up using?

That's weird lol I got it to connect that way but it said 3g instead of roaming and my speeds are 1mbps+ on prl 60687 (which doesn't use 3g roaming.)

I've been using both 11119 and 60658. Both have the same speeds for me. But when I wasn't roaming on 11119 it was still on Verizons towers. I made a call and I had the wrong number and it was confirmed to be Verizon.

Roaming on Verizon, with 3G Data&MMS?

I'm interested in being able to roam on Verizon, since Sprint is a POS at my school and home, and I'm constantly loosing messages, and data speeds are very sad. Anyways, I did a quick search and found a guide on changing the PRL to Sprint's "Corporate PRL" which apparently grants roaming with 3G data on Sprint, but it seems as if though that guide is old (Sept 19 from last year) and I'm not sure it'll work on my ROM (AOKP JB) So, does that guide still work? Is it safe? If no, what are my other options?
Also, how much minutes/texts/data usage would piss off Sprint? I've been meaning to switch for a while now...

It will work fine still. I'm doing it right now. I suggest flashing the Verizon PRL 00002.

I don't want to get too deep into this since there is a PRL thread in the forums, but doesn't that one force you to roam all the time? Sprint has a roaming limit of something like 200MB a month; if you go over that they can and frequently will cancel the rest of your contact. Some people do that on purpose, which I don't recommend or advise. If you just want to use your phone when you don't have much of a signal, use a PRL like 11115 along with the app Roam Control, that way you control when the phone roams.

yes.. oooo2 or w.e is a verizon prl roaming 100%.. i used the sprint corp prl i think 11124 or something which wasnt roaming while set to home only. but would have verizon 3g while in roam only with roam control which is compatible with jb now... however if using verizon eventually u will get a call from sprints roaming team.. and the prl thread is right. just need to be on a tw rom and when u go back to a aosp rom prl will stay until u update it

I use the 11119 PRL that works great when I'm roaming... I roam on Verizon with 3g data and everything, but I'm on Sprint the rest of the time. It works great.

3G download problem. HELP!!!!!

I have suddenly been having problems with my 3g. I look at the symbol in the status bar and it will upload but it will not download. It's almost like the code is stuck in a loop. It will randomly start to work again for awhile and then act up later. I have wiped dalvik, cache, and I even reflashed my ROM (FREE GS3). I updated profile and PRL. That was even a problem because I would get an error since it wouldn't download. Before I flash back to stock and call sprint, does anybody have any ideas? One other note. I have driven through LTE areas and both downloads and uploads work with no problem.

Have you tried going back to complete stock unroofed.

Not yet. I'm trying to see what else I can do first
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Before reflashing call Sprint and see if they are doing tower improvements, this can cause that when they are working in things

I'm going to flash stock and unroot to see if that helps. I work 75 miles from my house and have experienced the problem at homd and at work so I'm pretty sure it's not a tower issue.

Try updating PRL and Profile then restart the phone? That may help, I mean if it does then you just saved like an hour of resetting and restoring. If it doesn't then you just wasted maybe 2 minutes.

I've tried this with the exception of rebooting my phone right afterwards. I just updated my PRL but I could not update my profile. I got an error. I'm running out of options
I appreciate everybody's help though.

This happens to my wife all the time on her evo lte, trying again 15 to 20 minutes later usually fixes it so she can update profile and prl
Sprint GS3 FAQ THREAD

Happens to me when I shut off data for any length of time....I just reboot...and it works fine

I called Sprint and they couldn't fix it. I switched the network mode to CDMA from CDMA/LTE and it worked flawlessly. I don't know what that means but something told me my LTE and 3G weren't playing nicely. Whenever I go through a 4G area, it works to perfection. Then I get back in a 3G area and back to the same old thing.
I forgot to mention I flashed to stock unrooted and it seemed to function better but the problem still existed.

I have the same problem I have no idea what to do. I have a custom ROM the only way I get it to work is when I toggle Data on and off really fast. I didn't try the CDMA only though. Either way it's no excuse why our phone's are acting like this.

There was a DATA_HANDOFF.ZIP floating around somewhere....it was made for AOSP but if you make a backup and flash it, it might do some good

I had the same problem. In your phone key pad enter ##72786#. Its going to do hands free activation, prl update, profile update, firmware update (at that point you can cancel)

Same thing started happening to me a couple weeks ago. Tried everything. Only "fix" was setting network to CDMA only. Frustrating.
