I'm having a serious issue with roaming I live in central florida and in some areas the sprint service suck. I'm currently running the latest fresh rom as well as the latest klick kernel I have tried also stock kernel same thing. Currently have flashed pri 1.77 and I also had pri 1.43 and the same problem happened. When ever I try to make a call and if I'm in an area where there is no signal and I have to roam. Usually it is verizon towers when I call it says that you for calling verizon we are sorry we cannot authenticate your phone please call verizon customer service. If I try to call again several times it will actually xfer me over to an operator for verizon and ask me if I'm placing an international call. So I can not roam onany network because my phone can not be authenticated has anybody had this issue. Thank you please any help or adivse I would greatly apperciate thank you

There is a thread in development that is devoted on fixing this. I believes it involves calling a direct # to Sprint, where they fix your phone on the network.

thread link? i already tried calling and they said they would send out a technician... eventhough it happens anywhere i roam, not just in one spot... friggin guys
If u are on a sense rom, try updating your profile. If that still doesn't work, you will have to call sprint. Tell them exactly what's going on and they will fix it on their end thru the phone. You might have to call several times before u talk to a sprint rep that knows what they are doing. When I had this problem, the first rep told me to go to a sprint store. I hung up and called again and the second rep was able to fix

Call up Sprint, ask to speak with EVO Technical Support, tell them that you are getting an error message from Verizon saying they can't authenticate your device whenever you make a call on roaming, that you can't connect data, that you've updated your PRI, PRL, Profile, and checked software updates. They'll have to update some stuff on your end, and probably ask you to do a Factory Reset as well (so make sure to backup your stuff first!).
Took me less than five minutes to get everything sorted out.
Awesome thank you guess much I was talking To at lady sprint tech department she had me make sure I was using the correct msid number. Then she told me if that didn't work she gave the the # code to do a complete reset including programming reset as well. Going to try that tonight thank you. Anybody have a solution for the Bluetooth connecting then disconnecting all the time thanx.

ask Sprint support to help you reset your MSID... did that on mine and everything worked great!
This problem is killing me. I just rooted the evo to be able to tether at work to my personal computer but now (after root) I'm getting that Verizon message about can't authenticate the phone.
Anyone have more about this? I've searched the hell out of Google and nothing seems to be acurate to my problem.

How are you trying to tether? Wired or wireless? And if you are doing a wired tether, using that usb pop up, and choosing internet connection sharing, you get a pop up error...
not our problem that we were having. For that to work, you need to pay sprint for it or use calkuins mod in the development forum.
... Or use wireless tether found in the market
Ours was when roaming on verizons towers, we couldn't make a call or use data. Resetting the msid fixes that.
I forgot to say that I was trying to tether via wifi and while using data roaming. Well, after countless hours reading hundreds of threads I found this and worked for me. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769966&highlight=force+roaming. (sorry can't post links)
In short- call Sprint (number in the linked thread) tell them about your roaming message problem. Tell them that you read in the forums that the best known fix for this is to "refresh my phone on your (Sprint) end". Tell them that they do something there that you need to remove the battery of your phone and reinstall.
This will most likely fix your problem. >> You'll need to be on roaming I tried without roaming ( while on Sprint network) and didn't work.
By any circumstances let them to get you into hard reset, soft reset, we don't do this, i don't know, we'll exchange your phone, etc... You might have to update your PRL.
I got it fixed in the 3rd attempt.
The first one - a female tech wanted me to do a hard reset and got really upset because I was "telling her what to do" (she got pissed). >> If this happens be polite and hang up with the person and call again. no results? Repeat...
The second - a guy was very helpful and understood what I wanted. He did it but I couldn't get the phone on roaming (couldn't find the darn "roam control" widget to force roaming) so it didn't fix it.
The third - another nice guy after explaining him what the second guy did and the no roaming message situation (do not mention the root or force roaming) he told me to remove the battery - did his thing- installed the battery and while on roaming placed a call and IT WORKED.
I recommend you to read the thread from the posted link for more info. Hope this helps. I spent all day trying to fix this from start to finish. It should take you 20 min from this point to get the thing fixed.

Essentially the same as resetting your msid dude. You coulda saved some time by just calling sprint and telling them the answer you already got here.
i tried looking for a thread but couldnt find one. heres my situation,
i sent in a phone to flashed phones .net. they took almost a month to get it back to me
i had it flashed to verizon prepay $50 mo . when i finally got it back the messages were not working right
, i found a video on utube and was able to fix the sending and receiving text and pix. so now the only issue i have is that the 3g
is really slow. slower than sprint . i ve tried it in different areas and nothing changes .
so waht im trying to do is to re flash my self i really dont want to send the phone back to flash phones my experience has been really bad
so if anyone can help thanks in advance
so its a sprint 4g
on verizon prepay
phone calls work fine
i fixed msg
3g is really slow(cant watch youtube videos)
Well my first suggestion is to change prls. If your on a sense ROM it is usually an easy process and aosp ROMs you have to have a PC with qpst setup to change prls. Pm me and I can help you out with prls and if needed reflashing. Although I really doubt reflashing will be required.
Edit: also just remembered not all ROMs will the correct network. You may be using 1x and still see 3g on the status bar.

Since everyone here is essentially on the same hardware and network, I want to know if anyone else is having the same issues I am.
I can not get the 1.fm app to work on the Sprint network (3G or 4G). It will only work if I am on a WiFi network.
I enjoy listening to Chillout Lounge, and I'd like to listen to the station in my car, but I keep getting a message saying "Internet Connection Lost.....Reconnecting".
I want to see if it's a problem with my phone, a problem with the sprint network, or maybe a problem with my modem firmware.
If anyone can get it to work, let me know what Modem you have.
Thanks.

My 3G and 4G connections are quite good actually. I've even tethered my laptop through 4G and used RDP to connect to a remote machine and it seems quite stable. RDP can certainly have issues if the connection has issues.
But I've also seen issues when tying to use Rad.io. Which makes me think it's not just a software issue.

Okay what about like Pandora or Ihart or any of those? I could be a memory issue on your phone but I doubt it. It just might be how those apps work are written etc.

Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the help, but have you taken a moment to load the app I mentioned? It would be a lot more helpful if someone can test this app on their phone.
I honestly don't care about Pandora. It's not the program that is giving me a problem. What I need is for someone to confirm they are having similar issues that I am having with the programs I am trying to run. I don't want to run a ton of tests on my phone before it is determined the issue is even in my phone.
Just to let you know, Pandora does seem to work, but I'm not trying to get that program to work.

How on earth does that lead to more questions. You are seriously over-complicating a simple request. Download the app, try using it on the cell network, let me know the results. That's all I am asking for.
I'm just trying to collect information. You are doing everything except give me the information I am requesting. So if you aren't willing to help me by doing this simple task and give me the results, then please go away.

I'm sorry, sometimes the only way to get the message across to people is to just be blunt about it. I was just trying to get some information that he was refusing to provide.
He was making suggestions that were aimed at diagnosing my phone. Before I can take that step, I need to determine if the problem is even in my phone. For that, I need people to try the app on their phones. If the majority of people that test the app say it is working for them, then I can determine my next step and go from there.
I'm not asking for anyone to do anything that would harm their phone or have them invest more than a couple of minutes of effort. The reviews on the Play Store page do not provide the information I am looking for. They are just commenting that it doesn't work. I am trying to find commonality.
If you were cooking something and go up to another person and ask them if what you are cooking needed a little salt, and without even doing a taste test, they start asking if I used a lot of garlic or have the temperature set up to high, then they are not being helpful. And having to remind them that all you want is their opinion on the salt, and they still refuse to do a taste test, it gets a little annoying.

Thanks,
I just noticed something new when I tried to play that station
While at home, when I play a station, I get a little message saying "Lost Internet Connection....reconnecting" and it does try to reconnect, but just keeps looping the same error. Now that I'm at work, I get a new message saying "Internet Connection Error. Please try again later" and it stops trying to play anything.
This kinda leads me to thinking it might be an issue with the actual sprint network in my area. But I'd still like some more people to try it out to get a clearer picture.

Other streaming apps are NOT working. I already stated the Rad.io will not stream the same stations in post #3.
And those reviews don't have enough information to conclude it is a problem with the app. Only that it is not working for them. If I could talk to those people I would, but I can only talk to the people here, which is why I want to see if anyone else has the same problem. If I can find someone with the same problem, then we can go to the next step, which would be looking for the common elements (modem, rom, location, etc)
Knowing if the app works or not for other people is far more helpful for me. Through all this, have you even tried the app on your phone? Hell, you might even like the app because most of those stations play some really good stuff you don't normally hear on a typical radio station.

Trust me I understand what you are saying in post 5# you answered Pandora another streaming app is working. I know you don't want or care about Pandora it was to test if Sprint was the issue which appear to not be the case. And honestly at the time I was not in a position to d/l or test had crappy reception at where I was when I answered you the last time. And at home is bogus because I have a Airrave. I am at work now and d/l to test. To me reviews show a possible issue seeing one was like 2 days ago complaining about the same thing even some of the good comments suggest connection issues. (did have another review but after rereading it the user had other issues)
Testing right now got 5 or 6 bars 4g and same issue and I am in the bean. So I stand by what I said in post 7 (See screenshot)

Thank you. That screenshot tells me a lot. I am assuming you are rooted, so I'm hoping someone who isn't rooted can try it (fat chance of that considering this is XDA, but I can hope).
And one of the issues with those reviews is there is almost no mention of what network they are running on, so I can't use them to determine if it's a problem with the program on certain networks.
The reason I didn't care for Pandora is because it doesn't work like the 1.fm program (or other internet radio station apps). Pandora can't tune into the broadcast stations I like to listen to.

I understand they don't work the same but streaming is streaming proves network is good (which is my only point). I know there is a lot of unknown with the reviews but it can be a indication that it isn't you.
And to answer your question yes I am on TPR a stockish ROM.
We have given our young daughters Galaxy S ll’s. Our cell provider is kajeet.com which has decent parental controls on phone usage including Internet access via the cell connection. But kajeet doesn’t affect the wifi connection. Hence, Internet access is available.
We would like to shut down the wifi and have the phones used only for texting and talk. The girls have other forms of (monitored) Internet access.
Does anyone have a solution for shutting down the wifi connection?
I have done quite a bit of research on the web for an answer and haven’t come up with anything that is largely within our control.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Jona
First up, what model phone are we talking about (sticker on the phone chassis under the battery) ? Reason I ask is, I noticed Kajeet uses Sprint, which means there's a good chance you're in the wrong forum. As the I9100 wasn't sold in great numbers in the US, various carriers have their own variants, which have their own forums here.
I honestly doubt you can do it (I'm not aware of any way to block access outright), you can probably use one of the myriad security apps on Google Play to block WiFi access to individual apps (I.E all of them). But that might be different for different SGS2 variants (being an I9100 forum, I only know this for the I9100).
If you do have a different variant, we'll have the thread moved & maybe those who have the same phone might be able to tell you something different.
Months ago on cm10.1 i had managed to completely disable wifi by accident on numerous occasions by flashing old versions of dorimanx kernels that update the wifi drivers, then flash stock cm kernel again that uses old drivers, couldn't turn wifi on or off until I reflashed cm, so it is indeed possible. Not sure how you'd go about this. Maybe remove wifi drivers from rom if you are rooted? Sorry I'm not much help, just thought I'd share this.

my opinion, disableing wifi from a young kid will not stop him to access internet from any other place instead it will make him search and found more just because he dont have easy access to information he want. soo this is not the right thing to do but start takling to him and understanding his
needs will do more good. But this is just my opinion it seems thees days there are too many ways to find out things and there is noone who can shut them all off. Cheers!!

Does anyone have a solution for shutting down the wifi connection?
I have done quite a bit of research on the web for an answer and haven’t come up with anything that is largely within our control.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm a Moto Atrix 4G and HD user. I know from development on the 4G, we could disable the wifi by not installing certain packages or flashing a kernel without the required lib/module files. I'm in the middle of fixing a friend's S2/Epic 4G touch and I saw this thread. I would think that something similar would be available here, but i am just starting out with this process of helping my friend out so I'm not sure what files really affect the wifi. I'm sure you could root the device and delete the files that enable wifi access, but I'd have to do some digging for that before i advise any further.
