[Q] VZW PRL.... - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to switch to a vzw prl but when I do ##775# all it does is act like it is dialing then shows the last numbers I called. No password prompt. I am running a sense rom. First it was sprint lovers, now its stock rooted rom. Help please...

Are you sure you installed the correct EPST program?

Use myn's warm 2.2 rsl5 it works fine with that rom, just flash it and do what you need to do. Then nandroid back to whatever you are using

I totally missed that even though it was in big blue letters. The download link seems to be not active. Anyone got a new link or can upload it for me ?

So I got this to work but all I get is 1x . Is there anyway to get full 3g?

The verizon prl should give you full 3g, that's the point of it. If you are only getting 1x, either verizon doesnt have 3g where you are, or you are still on a sprint prl and roaming on verizon, which would only give you 1x.

I try *2 and I just get the Sprint thingy that checks the network. I'm on prl 0001. But this seems like I am still on Sprint.

Go ahead and do this if you really want, i highly recommend against it. All your doing is installing a force roam. If you flash 0001.prl you will always be roaming. I flashed it about 6 months ago, and everything was good for a few months, until sprint sent me a letter saying my account was being cancelled because a certain percentage of my data was roaming. If you look on your contract, even though it may say unlimited roaming, sprint still reserves the right to end your service if you go over 5Gb of roaming data or a certain percentage of your data is roaming.
I did eventually get them to not cancel my account, but my phone number remains on a list of numbers that they monitor that have gone over their roaming within the last 6 months (even though my roaming is supposedly unlimited). They do automated checks of that list and my phone gets turned off about once a week, meaning i have to call and deal with customer service constantly.
Think about whats going on here for a second. Verizon and sprint have agreements that let sprint users roam on verizon 1x services, NOT 3G. Everytime your phone downloads data from a verizon tower verizon sends sprint the bill. Once sprint realizes your phone number is causing them to pay massive fees to verizon theyre going to cancel your account. it doesnt matter if your choose home only in roaming options, because since you have installed a verizon PRL your phone thinks verizon IS home.

I fully understand what I am doing... as long as I stuck with this crappy Sprint service I will use this, and if they do cancel then I will just sign with Verizon directly ...

Are you going for coverage or speed? 00001.prl will probably increase your coverage significantly, it definitely did for me. But as far as speed goes, verizon is definitely slower than sprint. Thats my personal experience and has been confirmed by quite a few studies ive seen online. Also if you use speedtest.net frequently you'll see that with 00001.prl your latency (time it takes the signal to travel) increases dramatically.

So how do you put a sprint PRL back after a few months?

Have you read the Verizon prl thread? It tells you this on the first post. Just flash back to a sense rom (if you already arent) and update the prl through the menu. This will put you back on a sprint prl.

I've never had an issue with sprint busting my chops over roaming... been running prl hack for a long time with roaming data at least up to 5gb with some as high as 10gb..

PRI update via AIRAVE ?

Hmmmm, so some people have said they were able to get the PRI OTA in BestBuy stores which have "repeaters" (ie femtocells). I'm just wondering, has anyone with an AIRAVE attempted to update their PRI???
I have one but I havent used it in months and it takes like 2 hours to start up...maybe I'll try it tonight, now that PRI 1.71_003 is officially out:

Every post that mentions this mysterious PRI 1.71.003 "Update" has the same pic. Some say it was on a new phone, some say it updated OTA. It is kind of hard to believe that only a select few phones have gotten this upgrade, and ALL those phone owners took the exact same picture....
Had that version for weeks
is there any way to get this update other than the airave?

I have to agree here - I have tried activation several times, I have been unable to do it over the airave. When I was in range of the Airave, I always had to do it manually. Furthermore, the Blackberry can't be provisioned over the airave for internet access, downloading the service books or whatever fails. I had to drive some miles until I got a good signal from a sprint tower.
However, there are two different airaves. The old airave was called, an "Airave" and was manufactured by Samsung. The new Airave is called an "Airave Access Point" and is manufactured by Airvana.
The old airave only supported 1x data. The new airave supports EV-DO. If you made a call using a Samsung Airave, you would hear two beeps before you started to hear the ringback confirmation sound. The Airvana chirps three times, and the pitch is so high it is distorted, or that is my guess, so the three confirmation tones are three distorted chirps.
Since the new device supports EV-DO data, it might be able to support phone activation and downloading service books.
For either device, you can determine whether you are using an airave without placing a call so that you get the chirps. You can simply dial *99. With the Airvana AAP, the message will repeat several times, it may repeat forever. It has been a long time since I used this on a Samsung Airave, but I seem to recall that the Samsung only gave you the confirmation message once.
So if they are using Airaves in Best Buys, it is easy to tell.
Now, one final difference that I can see. Sprint Family Locator used to give you the location of the Samsung Airave, just like it gives you the location of a tower when it can't get a GPS fix from the phone. It tells you that you are within 1000 yards of a tower location. It would say that you were within 120 feet of the Airave, as I recall.
The Sprint Family Locator service can't find phones that use the AAP. This may be a bug, I am going to report it.
1.77_003 is actually the latest and running on my Evo.
I have tried to update via airvana and when I click update profile ot just stays on the updating screen forever and does not update so for me its not working.....
As for best buy they are not using airaves or airvana's the repeaters they use are the real deal actual cell repeaters same for sprint stores where signals are bad..it would be hard for them to sell you a phone if they cant get a good signal, kinda ****ty if you ask me cuz they are essentially showing you a good signal untill you drive away and then no more good signal

Seriously T-Mobile?

My data signal turned grey, I had no idea why, I restarted, switched ROMS, and still, the data is gone.
Than I checked the T-Mobile site and my data plan is gone, yet I'm being charged the same amount.
I'm guessing they detected that this is not a T-Mobile phone and disabled it, but seriously, why?
And I can't even call until Tuesday as its memorial day.
Has anyone had trouble with T-Mobile in regards to the Nexus and data?
No but I've had MAJOR data issues on my Verizon Nexus, the reception is garbage I don't care if its the phone, OS, or Verizon , its GARBAGE. My bet is that its the phone.

If it's anything like what I'm experiencing, your problem has nothing to do with T-Mobile; you're simply experiencing the same "data drop" issues that a lot of us are.
I've been trying different ROM/Kernel combinations left and right to see if I can get something that A) I like and B) doesn't have the drops.
So far, from what I can tell, it seems like a lot of people on AOKP are reporting this. Someone in their thread posted to flash the 4.0.3 RIL, but I don't know how eager I am to do that when other people are reporting no drops with ROMs like Slim ICS & LiquidSmooth.
EDIT: Hmm, looks like my data connection is perpetually grayed out as well. I wonder if something is going on?

I have my GNex stock, only root and I have not experienced data drops in mine. And my carrier is Claro...
Methinks T-Mobile has officially effed up. Here's what I got when I tried to open my browser:
You currently do not have data service.
If you want to access the Internet and your current plan does not include data, you must change to a plan with data.
If your current plan includes limited data, your data bucket has been depleted. [It sure as hell hasn't!]
To obtain data service, you can:
-Renew early if your plan allows
-Upgrade to a plan with data or a plan with more data

By any chance are you on a monthly 4G or other prepaid plan?
Because if so, I've experienced something similar TWICE already...it happens whenever my service is due for renewal..I'm on the $30 100 min unlimited text and 5GB web plan and even though I always make sure to add sufficient funds before my next renewal date, when my renewal date came, I got a similar message...it took a call to customer service to get it resolved...
the second time around I got a $10 credit for my troubles but it is still annoying as hell. The reps also said it was a glitch in their system.
Not happened to me and been running my Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile for over 4 months now (and had T-Mobile for 1.5years total).
I haven't heard of this being a regular issue, and I feel like I follow T-Mobile pretty closely. I highly doubt it has anything to do with you using a GNex on their network, probably just a glitch. Call in and they'll make it right.
Happened to me once over the last month, rebooted phone and it was blue again. On AOKP M5 + Franco M4.
Grey bars means you are not connected to Google's servers.
No signal is NOT a result of grey bars.
As in, if your bars are grey you can still have voice signal and data signal.

Yes, grey bars are caused by no data, not the other way around.
but its clear that T-Mobile has shut off his data for some reason.

I like T-Mobile. I had all major carriers and they all too expensive even tho att and Verizon had some good coverage they charge too much for 5GB and sprint just sucks at the moment T-Mobile has some good plans and data is great
I used to get 8-16mbps on one s and I get from 5-10mbps on my gnex couldn't be any happier

Not so sure about that, I get the grey bars every once in a while, however I still have access to the internet. It usually turns back blue after a few seconds.

No. T-Mobile advertises bringing your own phone to use as a feature. I've never had problems - and I started my T-Mobile account with an AT&T phone, actually.
It's a glitch, it's rare and ridiculous that it happened to you, but it's not the end of the world. Chill out

Sprint SGS3 Signal issues, missed calls, text, etc.

I have been having real weird issues with my text messages, and I've been told that people called me, but my phone doesnt say so. Yesterday I got on chat with sprint, the said that they troubleshooted the phone and to leave the battery our for 1/2 hour and reboot, all should be good. I did it(after ##72786# to reset the phone info), and it worked for a while. I checked my voicemail and had 5 messages from missed calls yesterday. Today Sprint was supposed to call me back to see if the troubleshooting thing worked, I checked my voicemail, and sure enough, I missed their call. So today they told me that they were updating towers...blah, blah..lte....., blah, blah.....fixed by the 11th. I got to researching and found this: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/92214?tstart=0
I also got a $10 credit
Just putting it out there. If anyone else is having issues, please post.
Edit: here is another one http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/441250#441250
I live in baltimore MD and between them updating the towers and that storm coming through last friday and damaging there towers service has been pretty bad as of late

I had a similar issue yesterday. I rebooted my phone because I though it was strange nobody texted me all day(someone usually texts me) then right after it boots the notification sound goes crazy haha missed 20ish texts D:
First time its happened to me, will see how today goes. Besides that signal is fantastic.
My signal is fine, the phone just doesnt receive anything, or will receive multiple copies of the same text. They said that towers are being updated in Boise, and they expect a fix by the 11th. Gave me a ticket number and everything. I might talk to tech support around lunch to see what their response is. Judging by what the Sprint community says, all of their LTE phones are having issues. Even the Gnex.

Its pretty rediculous, I call my phone from my desk (that the phone is sitting on) and it rings a few time and goes to voicmail, but the phone doesnt do anyting.
I'm down in the oc in California and signal is decent, 3g been slower lately due to updating the towers, so far no phone call issuers, had the text problem and failing to send texts or not receiving or receiving many times, for now insurgent u set google voice to notify you since it uses data to communicate so it's better at Texts and such, at least til sprint is done with the upgrades.

Happens on my HTC EVO 3D and HTC EVO 4G, so it's not just a phone issue. And my fools at the local Sprint store in my area claim there's no issues. Of course, these are the same fools that think 3rd party launchers are rooting your phone.

Well, google voice solved the text issue. Im happy now.
The threads the OP referenced are pretty much what I was looking at.
I too am experiencing the worst luck when it comes to signal strength. My friend has the good old evo 4G. I put the two phones side by side. I can observe the signal fluctuate on my s3 as the evo has a perfect full bars.
The sprint forum seems to suggest that it might be a network issue. I don't buy it. I think it is a hardware issue unfortunately.
The phone is nice and fast. But this connectivity issue is a deal breaker for me.

Data speeds.

I've never in m whole life used a gsm phone. I have the unlocked nexus and got myself tmobile service. It was the best coverage for the cost. But it seems my data speeds are sh*tty. Everything is super slow. Do I have to configure my phone for proper use with tmo? Everything seems to be OK except data. I've checked coverage I'm all green everywhere, doesn't make sense. Here's a screen cap of a speed test.

have you tested the speed in another location? example if that test was done at home, do one at work/school and compare
if it is just as slow you can try flashing a different radio..
i have generally been getting about 3-10 mbps depending on where i am/time of test...faster speeds as it gets later (network traffic slows down quite a bit at night around 10pm-midnight)
Somethings not right there. Did you just activate the service? Sometimes it can take a couple days for everything to get squared away on T-Mobile's end.
Also, have you double checked your APN settings to make sure everything is in order?
I'd also try some reboots and airplane cycles to make sure its connecting. Although it looks like you've got full HSPA+ connectivity. It could also just be a fluke with the tower you're on or the speedtest server you're testing on.

I'm not bootloader unlocked or even rooted for that matter. When I do I will play around with radios. I even tried googling a way to force 3g instead of HSPA+ to make sure it wasn't the tower. No luck yet. I did a speed test at my home and it was the same. The speed test I posted was at work.

APNs seem right from what I can remember.
I think you either have a SIM problem, a tower problem, or data hasn't been activated properly on your account. I'd give it another full day (T-Mo can be slow to activate fully), and if its not working, call and tell them your phone's data speed is extremely slow. They can try to reset it on their end (or send new SIM) or check for a tower issue.
Did you get the 200MB plan and use it all up? Because they throttle you when you use it all up. Them look like throttled speeds to me.
Or maybe, they are throttling you by mistake...
Also, have you restarted your phone?
Power it off for a bit. Pull the battery... then start it back up. I've seen that fix MANY things, and it's easy.

Looks like everything is as it should be. T-Mobile Monthly4G tech support is nice... but difficult to understand. I'd keep my hopes up.
OK. I'll leave it for a few days and if its still not working I'll give em a call. Once again thank you.

So its been about three days and its still the same. I flashes a few different radio firmwares and I found one that will give me anywhere from .1 to .3Mbps down. I have opened a ticked with T-Mobile thinking it may be the tower(s) in my town. Haven't heard back yet but I want to keep this updated. If it doesn't work out I will probably end up going with an at&t mnvo
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The same things is with my phone. Three days since activation and data speeds are 1x slow. It's time to play with radios
I've tried more radios than I can count. So I ordered an st att sim and got it activated today. There is a huuuge difference from .05 tmo to 3.5 att st so I guess even if coverage is good and they say its fine there are some places where the actual back haul of the network is seriously lacking. If it still doesn't work for you go ahead and try a different provider. Made a world of difference for me.

AT&T compatibility

For those of you using AT&T. Do not update your IMEI at this time and hope that the system doesn't auto update it. LTE is not supported on the OP3. I am currently stuck on 4G due to this problem.
I have opened a ticket to get the OP3 registered. I will date back here.
My ATT service is perfect with LTE.
Update your APN's
Nextgenphone and ATT Phone. The network is blocking LTE access. Your IMEI hasn't updated yet. Mine worked fine for a few hours.
I work in a cor AT&T store. There were features removed when I changed my IMEI. Once AT&T updates their IMEI database it'll be fine.
I've had the phone since noon on Friday and still no issues with AT&T. I have not called to change IMEI.

I am having same problem, my two devices are stuck in HSPA mode. I spent over an hour online chat with AT&T to no resolution. They tried but could not understand the problem. I had the phones activated at corporate store today too. Hopefully this problem gets resolved soon.
Guys don't bother with the att reps. Most of them have no idea what they are doing with an iPhone let alone anything else. The worst thing you can do is call them for help.
I agree with zelendel even though I work for the company. I am sure I'm not the only person who has opened a ticket to the OP3 added. In the mean time if you call customer service and just ask them to have a manager approve adding the nextgenphone apn to your line then it will fix the issue temporarily. I have LTE back for the time being.
How temporarily is the fix? And is there an eta on when att will fix the problem? I will be returning this phone if I can't use LTE on it.
So will this phone be updated and approved to receive LTE in the future by att? This is kind of a major deal if not.

Too late for it to be approved. This is one of the things you learn to deal with when you buy China based devices. They don't get approved by the Fcc which in turn causes issues with LTE and what not.

So because of you I should expect to see a text from AT&T saying they've detected that I'm using a smartphone and have added an expensive data plan? Great.
Pretty sure you just needed to use the right APN.

Pretty sure I know the right APN. What plan are you on that's worth saving...senior talk 200? That's the only plan in the last 10 years that's cheaper than any new plan which all include data. Please don't be a **** because you didn't have a problem. Others will and when they do its nice to help them understand what's wrong.
im on at&t go and it worked out of the box with LTE.
if what the OP said is true, u can get another IMEI that uses a nano sim card and then call att to activate that IMEI with att and then just reinsert the sim into the OP3 without calling, I did not update IMEI either but i do have a little issues with downloading things it switches back and forth quickly between 4+ and LTE but still get good speeds
Just opened my OP3 an hour ago and put my ATT nano sim in.

Yeah my LTE worked fine for at least 5 hours after I changed the IMEI. I was at work on WiFi so I don't know when it quit exactly. Even putting my sim back in a recognized device yielded no data. Called in got the nextgenphone added to my line, LTE came back. The problem with using another IMEI is sooner or later the system will update and you end up with no data.

Changing the IMEI is not only illegal but can also cause other issues with the device it's self.

The IMEI will be updated when they scan the network which they do from time to time.

Well considering what you are doing is fraud that is on you.
also try to go to the AT&T Phone APN not the ATT Nextgenphone
