[Q] phone will not let me do anything while roaming. any ideas?

so i was running the VR_GengerSense_Revolution_B4 rom about 4 days ago with now problem doing ANYTHING on my phone while in digital roaming. then i left the roaming areas and went into sprint service area and came back into the roaming area and now my phone wont do anything while roaming. i cant make or receive calls or messages or use any apps or the net. i have 2-4 bars of signal but if i try to do anything it tells me i have no network connection. yesterday i switched to the BeKinged-STOCK-Beta-V1-Clark44 rom thinking that changing everything would fix it but it didn't i went back into that same roaming area today and its the same story. does anybody have any idea of what i could do to fix this? I'm at a loss i tried every setting and was on the phone with sprint for about an hr. and nothing. Ive tried different radios and still nothing. i was thinking of un-rooting and seeing if that changed it. it baffles my that it just randomly started with out me changing anything on my phone.
thanks for any input.

i updated the PRL tonight hopefully that will help \. gonna try that before i un-root.

PRL update didn't help. unrooted taking it to sprint tomorrow.

[Q] HELP!!!!! 3G no good!

my phone has been rooted for 1 year now and so far have had no problems what so ever, but just recently i flashed synergy rom and all hell broke loose. my phones 4g works fine and so does wifi but my 3G would not start, it would turn on for about 1 second then go straight to 1x.
things i have tried......
update my profile and prl...nothing
##data##, menu, restore....nothing
pulled the battery like about 155752 times....nothing
nandroid restore to a time where it was working...thing
flashed like 6 different roms and still nothing works.
flashed new radios and still a no go..
i tried to do the whole metro pcs flash but then changed my mind not to go to metro as its network is crapy. i went to qpst and cdma and reverted everything back to how it was, so i dont see why it would mess up my 3G
i have no idea what else to do, any help will be greatly appreciated.

If it is 1x, that shows the true data strength. You may have excellent connection, but poor data in that area, or the server is just temporarily overloaded. It'll correct itself. Previously, sense roms would always show 3G even if it was a 1x connection, but most developers put in that fix to show the true strength, like in aosp.

Thanks for the reply. the thing is that my wife has an evo as well and shes right next to me and gets perfect 3g data connections, and i was getting error 67 upon trying to update prl and profile. as soon as i did the reset on the ##data## it went away, and now it wont even connect to 1x at all...man its so frustrating, ive searched and search but nothing.

same thing has happened to me, tried chatting 3 times, and called tech support once, so far no data.

try this...i did not work for me at all but it might work for you...good luck buddy you'll need it lol...this crap is frustrating as hell.

ive had similar problems... just flashed a rom,, 3g working but hotspot isnt.... i need help too

Sense ROM's show 3G to identify a data connection, while the bars are actually displaying the voice connection. I believe aosp ROM's strickly display the data speed since voice reception is generally good. This may just be a placebo affect and you think you have poor 3G. I would suggest running a speed test on both ROM's (your current one and the one you found "good" data speeds on) to ensure that it's not the ROM itself.

I've got the same exact issue, but I've been on Synergy for a while now. As of last night though, no 3g... My France's unrooted EVO works just fine, and I've been in a few different areas, so I know it's not the tower. I've done the same things the OP has done and still nothing... Is it possible for the Rom to fry out the 3g??

Ok ive got mines working. However its still a little sketchy but atleast 3g doesnt go away. After going tjrough the steps in my last post, I did ##786# and resetted everything. Then reflashed my rom and walah!

This worked for me.
Step 1: Open dial pad , ##3282# enter
Step 2: Select "Edit Mode", then input your MSL number
Step 3: Select "Data Profile", then press menu button
Step 4: Select "Restore", then press ok. Should reboot on it's own. If not reboot.
You said you did something similar but figured it wouldn't hurt.

I did that, but didnt work for me. However every phone is different and every little bit helps.

Need Help With MetroPCS EVO 4G *Calls

Hello,
I have an HTC EVO 4g that I had flashed to Metro. I had it working with text/1x web and phone calls for a few days. However, today I decided to try and get 3G working on the phone again to no avail. I'm not sure exactly what I did but whenever I place a call it now just goes to a 'If you would like to make a collect call' message. It sounds like maybe it's connecting to sprint again.
I've spent about 20 hours researching and haven't been able to fix it.
I've followed the steps on the following pages and it hasn't fixed anything. I've also flashed 3 different Metro PRLS and its still not making calls or connecting to the network. Anyone have an idea? thanks a lot!

ok make sure you min and mdn are in the right spot and if you did try that 3g thing then maybe you still have you phone in hdr mode change that back to automatic if none of that works then try prl 3025 if not then dial *2284 or *228 and update prl that should fix the prl and the min, mdn if none of that works pm me ill help you out !

Thanks a lot for the reply I really appreciate it. I tried the PRL update and i also did the *228 option, which connected me and programmed the PRL successfully. I'm still stuck on the to make a collect call message though. I had the phone moved over from Sprint and I think it had a different ph number in the MSID settings. I think i may have changed that MSID or the MIN to my current ph number? Should i take it back to Metro for a re-flash?
thx!

Got it all figured out. The MSID wasn't correct. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get 3G on this EVO. I am located in OC. Have you had any luck with it? 1X is terrible!

Yea i can get 3g working on stock 4.67 rom thats it w mms but not on custom roms what part of oc im in santa ana? Plust 3g here isnt as reliable as you think
Sent from my OG Evo

Thanks, Yeah i've heard metro 3g isn't that reliable around here. I'm in Costa Mesa by Harbor and Newport blvd. Should I just install the stock sprint Rom? 4.67?

Oh i know where thats at i used to work in that area im actually a mechanic lol if you woulg like or nightlys stock 4.67 rom they would both work
Sent from my OG Evo

Oooh nice. I may actually need some work done on my 2003 Hyundai Tiburon so I'll contact you if you do that sort of thing.
Do you happen to have a link to the nightlys 4.67 rom ?
also, is there a guide I can use to configure the 3G and MMS settings?
thanks again!

Well i just played w the 3g things and they have tge same speed in 3g or 1x so it dont matter
This is it stock not nightly

No data or Extremely slow data

Had my S4 over a month now. Rooted and running Wicked Rom...Version 2, after that 3. All of a sudden...I started getting no data....
Could send texts/calls and receive them as well. Playstore or any browser/app that required net would fail. Couldn't even sync, would always pop up with a no network connection. At home, from time to time, I would get signal but it would be unbearably slow. I'm talking about clicking playstore and waiting a minute for it to load, with thumbnails loading every minute.
I just odin'ed back to stock MDL...Still same issue, even on stock rom. Is the phone borked? or?...Any ideas would be appreciated....Depressing considering it's a new phone. I pray I don't have to go through refurb hell like my friends have had to do with verizon. I **** you not, had a friend with a messed up Nexus, went through 6 phones with issues...*sigh*..

call t mobile ask them if they r doing any type of work around your house.... try flashing everything back to normal AGAIN and see what happens.. for some reason I was getting bad download speeds with darthstalker rom... I have no idea how that would even work but when I was on it I'd take a minute to download an app as opposed to Instantly on wicked.. maybe I got a bad download... I'll try again when a new version comes out

I had a network issue on wicked I think it had to do with deviant kernel because once I flaked phantom kernel I no longer had weird drop in data. Also check your APN setting if to live in an lte are you want the fast.T-Mobile.com as your APN if you do not you want the epc APN can't remember of top of head what it's called

Did you fix this man>? I have the same problem.

I had this issue a few times last week ever since they started upradeing the towers for LTE. what i did was select WCDMA mode in network settings that that happened to fix the issue for a while

yep I can confirm this. I live around Boston and I think they just started rolling out LTE this month. I would get LTEfrom time to time as I was driving around town but sometimes no data at all and required a reboot. I'm running wicked as well. After selecting "WCDMA/GSM autoselect" under mobile networks, it seemed to be a lot better.

Please Help... No service at all. (i called sprint)

OK so... Phone will not get and service. Can not make any calls or SMS (rooted). Wifi works for internet though
I called sprint (about 30 mins on tech support) and they walked me through a couple reboots and updating PRL and whatnot. Finally said the closest tower was "at 93% and having issues" and told me when i'm at another location, try and update the PRL. I drove to a friends house 15 miles away (there was another tower there) but nothing changed after updating PRL.
Things i've tried myself...
*flashed 3 different ROMs both CM and Stock based using normal procedure
*flashed 3 different radios
*change the LTE to CDMA only
any idea what this could be?

Did you try re flashing a touchwiz ROM?

That tower just could be down. You could try a modified PRL until it is fixed. If you need one o can link you one and tell you how to do it. Mine was the same way when my tower was down. Could not text or call but could use internet. After this PRL I could text and call.

Using the phone dialer dial ##72786# this will reset your device on the network. Stay on TW rom until you get it all working.
Have a great day!

Just tried dialing that and it was like I was making a regular call
