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.

After the update last night I can no longer roam. Tried for hours but data won't connect and making call goes to Verizon saying can't authenticate my phone. What to try next?

PRI or PRL?
Ditto. Got the PRI update, updated PRL... And now can't roam. Calling Sprint now...
EDIT: Fix! Just wipe your data by going to Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset. I can roam again!
i still cant even after multiple times
PRI update i cant roam anymore no matter what i tried
So, I had CM6 and 1.40 pri, but I could not roam. I reinstated Fresh, still had 1.40 and issues. Called Sprint...they had me do a factory reset and did something on their end. Now I have 1.34 and prl 60700. Help.

I meant to say prl 60670.

Did you even check to see if the roaming issue was fixed or did you just look at the PRI number and complain cause it's not the latest one out there? >.>
Testing the roam issue today. Thanks.

Roaming works. Should I try to get 1.40 back now?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If it works, why would you want to change it?
Higher data speeds with the new pri.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
1.40 is what gave you the roaming problems in the first place.
Yes, I know. Some people have it and roaming works.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
And it obviously doesn't with yours. You've tried it with 2 different ROMs. Unless you feel like throwing a bunch of ROMs at it, be my guest. I'd say if it's not broke, don't mess with it. What speeds do you get?

new pri doesnt mean better data speeds for YOU unless YOU tested it.
if the towers by you are pushing out 1.34 its for a better reason than you have.
if you want to get back to 1.40 then go flash steelH's 2.2 and update it.

Getting anywhere from 146 to 1156 down and 59 to 808 up over 3g, depending on time and location.
This brings up a good point...

lucky you posted in the right place...
but no, PRI updating does not always affect your ability to use the phones' cellular radio...
it simply changes the way it works
For the past week or so, I've been having issues where I will drop to 1X in places where I would usually get a steady 3G signal. I'll have two bars (-85 dB), and show 3G, but when I actually go to use the data connection it drops to 0 bars and switches over to 1X. If I stop accessing data for a brief period it will return to normal.
Does anyone have any ideas? I had been using the 11.19 radio, but flashed back to 9.01 and saw no improvement. I've done the "update roaming capabilities" a few times, and every time after I've flashed a radio. I'm running CM7.0.3. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

I was having data issues like yours in cm7.0.3. I don't think your alone in this situation. Other people have had trouble with this as well. I don't think its a radio problem because I swapped radios with the same results each time. I would roll back to an earlier cm release and wait for the next update. That's what I'm doing.
Ah, I didn't think the ROM really had anything to do with reception. Glad I checked, thanks.

Well, I just flashed OMFGB and I'm experiencing the same problem. Is it a known issue in OMFGB 1.2 as well?
EDIT: I just flashed back to CM 7.0.2.1 and I have the same issue. I guess it's either my phone or Verizon.

i started having this issue recently on miui 4.29 and it persisted onto 5.6. started happening after updating radio to 4.08 but i haven't been bothered enough to try changing back to an older radio.
I think it may just be Verizon. I have the same issue from time to time on SR 4.0 rom, with the stock radio.
Yeah I'm pretty sure its an issue with Verizon, roms really shouldn't effect your service and they never have with me.

I'm not rooted and on stock and i'm having the same issue. Def verizon.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Me too...
It's been happening with stock, Redemption, and now with Sky Raider.
I flashed the new 04.08 radio and everything worked great. Just about a week ago I started having the same issue. Flashed back to 11.19 and stock 07.28 and having the same issues. At this point I'm thinking it's a VZW issue, very possibly them getting their 4G towers in place.
Alright, I'll hope it comes back.
For a few months I've been having some GPS accuracy problems, and I was wondering if the two were related. GPS test will show 20 ft accuracy, but it will be showing me on a street 100 ft away.

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!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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!!
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.

Not yet. I'm trying to see what else I can do first

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.
