but i cant get my s3 to actually roam like it did with previous devices
ive read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673196
that says about changing your cellar band to get it roaming.
the problem is that the *#*# code does not work for our phone.
my question is does anyone know of a working code to change the cell band for our device, and has anyone successfully get their s3 roaming??
thanks guys
I want to know this as well. Does the radio for SGS3 has the same problem as the SGS2?
Does it only roam on 800Mhz?

i was able to use roam control on the gs2 but not the gs3.
when i do ##3282# -edit-others-HDR/1x Sleection and change that to evdo only it does connect to roaming BUT it messes alot of calls and sms is unusable.
so i know it can roam on another network, there is just some added setting that i must be missing..
Well I can't roam with GS2. Im from Puerto Rico and apparently almost all towers are 1900
so i think i got it to work my speed is much faster ...but here is the thing i dont know and maybe someone can help me .... when i check on netmonitor it says carrier sprint but when i check the prl it says the prl i wrote (111115)
so if anybody has any ideas le me know
thanks
update: speeds are back down ..never mind... it would b nice if somebody got it to work =(
So finally got it worked on Verizon prepaid. Can say it works perfect, perhaps first day, 3G works well.
In that case I have a few questons.
If I flash new Kernel, will it affect on my Verizon service at sprint's L710?
In total what I MUST NOT flash to keep Verizon working on my phone?
How dis you flash it to verizon prepaid?
Same way like to Boost or others with donored Verizon ESN it works well.
As for Tutorial, I'm not a specialist in that question but can help to write it if there are few sources.
Assuming it's like every other flashed service providers, flashing roms and kernels will not affect anything except maybe your ability to send mms. Just don't do a ##786# factory reset using a touchwiz rom because that will clear out your MDN/MSID and AAA Hex keys.
There's no way I'd be on Verizon for their 3g.

can't figure out how to connect phone to it.. put phone to debugging, and soft doesn't recognize it
You should try dfs. It connects to the gs3. I'm) poking for the settings to change. Sort of a step by step. There are plenty for cricket and boost. Just in can't find any for Verizon. I'm sure the steps are similar in just need the specific strings to put in.

Yes it connects.
Well, if you tell me where to look into DFS i'll provide you settings that you need.
In dfs look in Ports->diagnostic
I'm not sure we can post this stuff on xda. I know the guides have been deleted before.

Sorry, didn't see.
Well yesterday everything was good on 3g, but when I flashed CM10 I lost data connection, now I come back to stock but there is still some issues with data and Sprint icon appearing, sometimes I get 67 Error Registration to sprint failure.
I checked ##data, there is a lot of settings belong to Sprint. Also now i noticed that 3g speed too slow, i tried speedtest and got 120 down/150 up via speedtest, its not what I got yesterday before CM10. Also phone sometimes looses connection. Think something went wrong while I flashed CM10 or that guy didnt set all proper settings.
Averything txt/call/data work, but some issues I still have to solve...
Does somebody have some info what alse to change in settings?
Ill just stick to Speint instead of going thru all of that trouble to get prepaid.
Headed to get a gusto donor phone. Did you get the 3g worked out?

I flashed my Epic Touch to Virgin and now I pay $55 instead of $110 and get same service because Virgin is owned by Sprint and uses same towers

No I did not. Cause I have no AAA/HA codes.
Also I can't flash zeros to SPC that's why I have no possibility to flash it over the air to Verizon.
No luck so far. I have done everything but i have the roaming sign. I cant make a call or text. Can you maybe post a screenshot of your tabs in dfs? I figure that would be easier than typing your values. When i try to make a call i get the verizon operator only. Im did not flash a verizon radio or anything. Not sure if thay matters.
Hi everyone,
So, I've got an interesting issue, and I realize that it is likely my fault. I was flashing various ROM's (CM10, CM9 etc) on the phone, and eventually when I put the stock ROM back on, I was only able to connect on "EDGE". I called Rogers and they said my account checked out. So, I did more ttroubleshooting, and in that I noticed that my IMEI was set to "0". So, I found a guide on here to re-add the IMEI using QPST and I was able to get back on 3G, but no 4G/LTE. After rebooting and some time passed, I am now on 4G, but no LTE and this is my issue. Before you say 4G is LTE, I tend to want to disagree. I used to get LTE, and I did see it pop up once since I fixed the phone, but the phone crashed and i wasn't able to test it with LTE running. Since then, I haven't seen it again. I also ran the "Phone Info" app, and if I set it to LTE only, I never get a data connection, even after rebooting, pulling battery etc.
Why I think 4G is not LTE is because when I ran speedtests before I broke my phone, I was getting 28MB down, and 8-10MB up. now, I'm lucky if I'm getting 1MB down and .2MB up. I have once gotten 4MB down, and .8MB up, but this is WELL below LTE speeds that I've had in the past.
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me get back to a 100% clean, stock ROM, modem, firmware etc. I have installed 2 different stock ROM's that I found for the Rogers i747m; one is ~700MB, the other is 1.2GB. Both have the same issue with 4G only. I've also flashed the stock Rogers modem, and still no luck.
Any help would be appreciated, but here are some specific questions if you can help.
Does anyone have screenshots of their stock "about" page, and the "status" page in the phone menu?
Does anyone have a bone stock "complete" firmware/ROM for the Rogers i747?
Is there anything I can do to fix this on my current ROM (stock)?
Thank you!
Here are the threads I've reviewed and followed to try and resolve the issue.

Well I know you are right about one thing when it says 4g it's not the same as LTE mine says LTE when it's on LTE. I'm on Telus though. I have seen others in Canada with this issue after restoring the IMEI, maybe you should check that thread to see if there are any solutions.

I ran through every post in that thread, but still no LTE. Man this is driving me crazy. I'll pay someone if they can help me get LTE back... I've already restored the QCN info using the QCN creator posted in one of the threads.

So, here's something a bit more interesting. Just before bed last night, I caught my phone on the LTE network. I tried loading a few pages/apps, but nothing was working. AFter about a minute, I lost all data connection and it popped back up about 10 seconds later back on 4G and was working again. Not sure if this helps anything, but I did grab a screenshot when it was on LTE.
Anyone?

Thanks for that thread, but does anyone know why the person is removing the SIM and going through all that trouble when rebooting does the exact same thing?
I have used the #2263 menu to set my phone into LTE only mode, and I get no data connection, nor any cell connection either. Switch it back to Automatic and it jumps right back on 4G.
It is faster to remove the sim and enter *#2263# code lol. Once the sim is removed, a no sim notification should appear. Better than waiting for you phone to reboot.
I will post my lte apn setting for you. Hopefully that will help.

It could also be the modem... I have a link to a stock rogers modem. Just flash in recovery and you may have LTE again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29517422&highlight=rogers#post29517422
Just fyi...
I also have a Rogers S3 and noticed that I am not getting the LTE icon on the notification bar after the first week. Now, I only get a 4G icon in GSM, HSDPA, LTE mode, and 3G/H+ in GSM, HSDPA mode.
However, with the 4G icon, I can still get speeds of 30Mbps down, 13 Mbps up, and under System Information, it shows LTE in Network Type.
My conclusion was that dont rely on the icon in the notification bar. Check the system information page to see the actual network type.
The only time I can get the LTE icon to actually show when I am connected to the LTE network instead of the 4G icon is through re-flashing the ROM. I have tried clearing the cache through recovery menu and it still wont work.
I know this doesnt solve your issue, but I hope this will help anyone that stumble across this problem.
Cheers
Thanks for posting all of that. My APN settings are the same, except the APN type. Mine is set to "Internet + MMS". If I change it, I am prompted with a menu to choose from and the settigns on yours are not in the list. Basically it has the folllwing list:
Internet + MMS + DUN
Internet + MMS
Internet + DUN
INternet
MMS
DUN
Also, flashing the Rogers Modem was probably one of the first things I did. I thought that would have been most likely.
My mobile Network type is UMTS:3 and I am definately not getting LTE speeds. I've heard people say that they only see the 4G icon, but get LTE speeds, but I'm only getting about 5down, and less than 1 up. I say that when I was on another ROM, it showed 4G, but seemed much quicker. Now I'm just hosed.
Out of curiosity, under the system settings, what do you have listed for ERI Version and IMEI SV?
Thanks!
Any other ideas?
Mine show ERI Version: Not Available
IMEI SV:01
Hope that help you.
Side note: I also note that for reasons of economy of battery when I switch to GSM network and I want to return to the lte network, it takes a long time to show me the lte icon....it's seem to stuck a few minutes on the edge even if gsm/hspa/lte(auto mode) is selected.

check peoplearmy's thread - he added info on how to also restore data. if you have having a problem, maybe don't use your own qcn, generate one with his method and restore that. Worked like a charm for me.

I'm pretty sure I did that...but you have to use your own QCN to generate the new "injected" QCN. As far as I know, it doesn't generate one out of nothing. Unfortunately, I didn't have a QCN generated prior to breaking it. Now the "original" QCN I have is "broken" so when I inject it, it's injecting into a broken QCN.
Something I was curious about doing was getting another Rogers S3 QCN (from a willing XDA member), modifying the IMEI and injecting that back into my phone. Not sure if that would break things, but it might be worth a shot. I'm pretty desperate at this point.
Anyone willing to send me their Rogers QCN, so I can replace the IMEI, and inject it into my phone? Worst case the phone blows up, best case I get LTE back, or just restore my current "broken" QCN.
Thanks!
So...I am now fairly convinced that it actually is a hardware issue and not a software issue. I noticed that it was on LTE again (4th time in a week). I was outside walking my dog. I checked tosee if it was working, and out of shock it was! I then downloaded and ran speedtest...got 28down, 9.5 up. BAM!
Now, here's the kicker. I am in a zone where I've always had 4 bars of LTE, except now I can only get it outside. I checked the signal and it was at 62dbm. Walk inside my house, and it jumps to 87+ dbm and drops LTE. I've always had full LTE signal in my house, work, everywhere, now nothing. Based on this, I am certain that the antenna/radio is pooched. Now I have to either get it repaired or get a refurb...ugh. Giving up my month and a half old phone for a refurb really blows...
I am with Telus, and having the exact same problem (minus the IMEI thing).
I flashed to CM10, and my LTE stopped working. Went back to stock, and it's still not working.
Setting phone to LTE only gets me no signal.
I've tested it in Toronto, Mississauga, Barrie (all LTE capable) and nothing is working.
Apparently, it's an issue with the phone. Search Google for Galaxy S3 radio issues (or swap radio for signal) and there is tones of threads. I have a refurb phone coming from Rogers this week, and I'm gonna leave it at stock. Really sucks...but LTE is the bomb.
I read on one thread that Samsung is supposed to push a code fix for the modem, but that's from a bunch of people speculating on the issue. How true it is...time will tell. I'll post back if/when I get LTE back on the new phone.
So, I just got the new phone and LTE is back working everywhere it used to with full signal and full speed.
I hAve this now too...but it's just the icon as I am getting LTE speeds.
Might call Rogers too...
I have an EVO on Boost and I updated the PRL and since I get no service at all. I have flash like 30 different prls and same thing. I did a bunch of searching on the issue and cant come up with anything. What do I do?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Ummm...try the EVO thread.

Well, which PRL are you on now?

If so, can you be more specific about it?
Are you sure roaming is disabled and set to home only?

Okay, I have a GS3. I swapped the ESN (Evo 4G) and now I can't get 3G
The only time I have 3G is on a stock Rom with the MD4 Modem but even than it feels like 1x.
I've tried all the radios, with no luck including the MD4 one. I've been trying to get it working the past two days now with no luck.

I was messing with my phone and had changed the settings in ##DATA#
I was getting 1x only so I had to change the HDR/1x Selection under Data: Others. Hybrid works the best for me, but you could try changing to "LTE + CDMA + EVDO Mode. When I selected CDMA only then it only got 1x and not full EVDO/3g.
If that's not it did you have to enter the HA & AAA secret keys to get data to work?

Select Other > Select HDR/1X Selection > Select Mode( Try LTE + CDMA + EvDO, if that doesnt work try hybrid or global mode)
Just browse the data menu but do not touch korean mode ever.
for HA and AAA Keys noted aboved its within the Data Profile in the menu of MSL,
let us know if this helps,going to be honest I am a noob but I can research these things as I have been doing so passively trying to fix my own problem
Thanks for the help guys. I was messing around the other day in the settings and somehow wiped my username and MSID. I got the username back, now I'm trying to get the MSID so i can get my phone back on Sprint. I"m an idiot sometimes... lol
As soon as I get back on Sprint I'll let you know how it works out!
Thanks again
To get msin you can just do phone activation through menu and if that doesn't work a sleight tech can provide a new one
