[Q] Couple roaming questions

Ok,when I visit my family in area code 27970 and 27962 my phone roams on US cellular's crappy network. I'm always use to seeing 1x and about 1-2 bars when I roam down here. The internet is basically useless with the slow speeds. Unusually the last 2-3 days I've been able to get 3g from somewhere. I'm guessing Verizon bc they've just built a new Verizon store in town. Unfortunately, I can't get it to return bk to 3g anymore. idky ( on miui btw)
. My questions are:
1. Is there a way for me to specify using Verizon's towers over US Cellulars?
2. What would be the cause of the random 3g speeds?
3.would roaming on us cellular ever give me a 3g signal?
I'm just clueless as to why I got 3g speeds for a couple of days and now all of a sudden it stops. I tried flashing bk to a sense rom (synergy) updating prl and profile but it still says 1x. I want my mofo 3g.
1. Yes, use qpst (not providing directions) to flash verizon PRL file.
2. ****ty signal, and other factors.
3. No.
Thanks for the responses. Im still confused bc The nearest sprint service/tower is probaly an hour away. And ive always roamed while here. Now I can't get it bk

[Q] Sprint disabled my 4g/3g

I've tried soft/hard resets and updating my android/profile and I still can't connect to 4g anymore. I'm ina 4g hotspot and have been connected for the past year and a half so I know I should be able to connect which leads me to believe sprint disconnected my 4g service. I got a call the other day from sprint notifying my that I use too much data (I tether) on my supposedly unlimited data plan.
1. Is it possible for them to throttle my speed down to 2g? I've speed tested and get .15mbps
2. Is there anything I can do about this?
How much data have you been using? I used 50GB between 3g and 4g last month and they never say anything to me lol

Do you tether w/ a official sprint tethering app and pay $30 per month or w/e it is now a days? If so those have 5GB data caps.

Sprint is going through network issues currently as they are doing some maintenance so you may have been affected by that, and are you rooted and on custom roms. I myself had data issues on CM7 when I used it...last resort my friend would be to just call Sprint and see what's up..
Reset your phone back to 100% stock then test.
If it works.. look into ROM issues
if it s doesnt work, call Sprint
Please don't even mention about their network issues. Gee wiz, for almost 3 weeks I've been having problems, but only when I'm at work. I finally got this damn issue escalated to the network dept. They r going to call me when they get an estimate time of resolutiion. Its driving me nuts

[Q] Network Settings

I have my T989 on the Bell Mobile network in Canada. I've been having problems with the data network lagging when I investigate it seems like it is constantly switching from HSPA to HSDPA and HSPAP. When I first setup I was getting speeds of around 10-15mbps. Lately I'm ranging from 15kbps to 3mbps and this is all from the same areas I typically got higer speeds. While researching I found out I could set my preference to WCDMA only which is appropriate as Bell does not have a GSM network, just CDMA, HSPA and LTE (no LTE in my area).
Does anyone have any idea what maybe causing these slow speeds? I've tried several different modems all with the same results.
Update: When I go to stock Telus rom I get the fast speeds back but only for the first five minutes then it goes back to slow.
you can try puting a telus radioin after flashing a rom. You can find one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400&highlight=telus+radio
Thanks for the reply, the problem ended up being a tower in my area, Bell is apparently going to fix it but it's been like this for at least a week already so we will see. There is another one within range that would solve all my problems but I get put on this one every time as it's the closest....sometimes I wish it was possible to at least request a different tower and not have to rely on the network to tell the phone which one to use.

[Q] HSDPA:9 on ICS Versus HSDPA:8 on JB

Hey, Yesterday I flashed back to CM9 and saw the data connection speed on that ROM was HSDPA:9. I compared to CM10 and CM10.1, and I found that the data connection speed on this ROM was only HSDPA:8 which is lower that ICS. I Googled a little bit about them and I found this link which has an explanation about the difference. 10.1 Mbps versus 7.2 Mbps was even lower than data speed that our phone capable of doing. our phone should have like 14.4 Mbps speed, right? so? it should be getting like a HSPA+ on our phone if im not mistaken.
Questions:
1. is there any chance that this is happening because we are using Custom ROM?, or
2. Did Samsung lie to Us about the phone capability of reaching that kinda speed (14,4Mbps)?
3. did this happen because of the provider? (well, I'm not sure about this, coz I used the same provider but the data connection speed are different between ICS and JB in My phone. and one more, In My friend Tablet, He could reach HSPA+ by using the same Provider as mine, so...)
Any Thoughts would be appreciated.....

MY 4G LTE SPRINT SPARK DATA BEING SO SLOW anyone else having a problem?

Hey guys, I have received a Note 4 from amazon the phone works great however, my 4G LTE is very slow and i can only receive one bar in my house but when im around the town where i live it will its will works ill get 2 to 3 bars with spark then it will stop connecting and causing my apps (facebook ect) to stop working saying " unable to connect" then i would have to switch to 3G to atleast get it to reload again because it will try to get 4G LTE with one bar its killing my battery so much because it is trying to get the connection to stay then stop working i'm using my old UICC sim with my Galaxy S4 i dont know if that would make a any difference, its making so crazy with having slow 4G LTE when i had my iphone 6 and it worked fine , Every day i need to turn from 4g LTE to 3G daily to get atleast okay service. but even the 3G is slow with full bars. Any ideas guys ? I contacted Sprint, they said they reported the issue and they will work on it.
