Ya, it seemed to happen alot when I was in vegas using 4g. Try a different modem, and update profile and prl, you may get a better connection with a different modem.

no that not normal 96.654656 % of sprint customers has never even seen the 4g signal on their phone

what if this started to happen when i started using ICS? i tried other modems to

4g is overrated I want my 56k speeds to the max.

update your prl 2x and your profile 2x..if that doesn't work. do a factory reset and then do this process again.
sometimes there are glitches between your phone and the towers

sprint outage error 67 info

If you are unlucky enough to have the current data outage situation - open ticket IM1579732 - I have spoken to Cus Serv just now and find that many impacted users have had their accounts repaired and you may have the ability to reacquire the network via a profile update.
However the ticket is still open and for the rest of us we are currently awaiting full completion of the work which is estimated to be done by tomorrow evening at 6:30 pm central time.
If you have had this problem, are you a business/corporate customer? I am and my friends with Galaxy S3's on normal accounts are not affected..
That's surprising because I'm having the best service since well forever today

I'm in 08054 in NJ. I've had crappy data all day. Google News only loads a fraction of the time. I did get a signal and did a Profile and PRL update around 2pm, but I'll try again. It didn't seem to do much or rather made it worse.

chrisWbush, glad you were able to get resolution! For me, I was told on Monday to take my phone to the service center - which I did - they ended up keeping my phone for 9 hours. They tried to put another S3 on my account to activate but that would not even work. So right now there appears to be a provisioning backlog where new activations are waiting. Maybe today..
As soon as my new s3 came the old one started to work. 20 texts messages popped up. I'm keeping my old one. I don't like refurbished phones. My old one is great and no drops.

Sns wakelock

Two of these sns wakelocks are keeping ny phone from deep sleeping at all. Any reasons why this might be happening?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
At home or out and a bout the sns_async_ev_wakelock and sns_periodic_wakelock are low, but when I am at school they are constantly waking the phone and preventing deep sleep. Could this have something to do with the reception in the area that my school is in? Would LGNPST'ing back to stock fix this problem?
Bump
Are you seeing a difference from with another ROM? How bad is the reception there?

It happens on 4.3 roms and Nexogen ZVC 1.7. The reception isn't bad, in fact I recently started getting LTE there but the LTE doesn't work it just constantly shows the upload arrow and never downloads.
Hmmmm.....it is possible that it's continually trying to get a good reception, therefore draining the battery more. I know when I'm at the Unit I change the network mode to only CDMA.
Glad I'm not the only one up late today.

That's the weird part is that even on CDMA only it still gets those two wakelocks constantly even though the 3g there is good.
Hmmmm....I know sns is associated with social media......but I heard of someone else experiencing this before........... One sec..

Tether without root

Anyone figure out tether without root on the Sprint S6. I have this on the Nexus 5, and hopefully we can figure out how to get it to work on S6 without root as well.

I am guessing that someone might actually need one of these phones to test. Only T-Mobile has shipped. Others are due April 10th.
April 10th. Anyone have any success with this?
I haven't found anything that works without root yet.

Thank you so much! You made my decision to get the S6 much simpler. Now just need to convince the wife why I should leave my Nexus 5 which except for the occasional GPS lost signal otherwise works well.
How are tall getting the msl?
Nevermind I just called and asked for it.
I can con4firm that it works also. So glad to see this.

How did you get it to work?? It looks like it works initially, but then asks me if I have a subscription. So no, it doesn't work, at least not for me :/ anything special you guys did to make it work 100%?

Are you on LTE? Did you reboot? Did you do a PRL update? If so then you have to redo it, and reboot. I am just reading what the other thread says.

It is "free". As long as Sprint doesn't catch it and bill you for it which is a possibility.

I followed it step by step. Used it for roughly 3 hours while doing homework the last two nights. Haven't had any issues with it. If you do a profile or PRL then you have to re-enter the info but I haven't done anything other than what that guide tells me to do.

anyone upgrade beyond 5.0.2 OC9
This is on my girlfriend's phone. I think she took the initial upgrade when she got the phone just over a week ago. She in on Lollipop version 5.0.2, on the OC9 build.
We have this tether option active.
There seems to be a new update available, anyone know what it is?
Anyone able to confirm that this tether without root method still works after this pending update?
I got my MSL# from sprint, and after I enter the number, I get a wrong MSL message from the phone. I called sprint back and talked to another rep who gave me the same MSL number. Do you think sprint updated the phone so we cant get into that menu?

Dropped Calls

I came form the M8 and never had dropped calls. I have had this phone for 4 days now and have had call trouble at least 8 times. I haven't been using it in any new or low coverage areas. I have disabled HD calling to see if that is the issue. Anyone else having trouble?

I would guess the HD calling is the culprit...depending on where you are at, if your LTE signal isn't consistently strong and your phone is switching between 4G/3G etc the call drops from what I've read. I am in NJ, so most of the state is bathed in 4G....but I definitely drive through some areas that still drop to 3G....I'll test it out over the next few days.

I know this is an old post but I have been having this issue lately and I can't figure it out. I have flashed many ROM's and still the same issue. I popped my sim into my old M8 and the drop call issue is gone. The call always drops at the beginning of the call it is extremely aggravating. I was just wondering if you have figured out this issue? I am afraid s-off may have caused it. I have disabled advanced calling and get the same issue. It is looking like I might have to send it back for warranty but not sure the best way to return to stock since we have no RUU. If anyone can help me with this please do. Thanks

On my 3rd replacement
On verizon, never had issues with dropped calls before in my house/surrounding area (from incredible, rezound, Galaxy s4, wife's iphone) for the past 8 years and now service with my m9 is horrendous. Im on my 3rd replacement from verizon with the same issue. I get dropped calls/missed calls/texts unable to send non stop in my home area and when Im in anything less than perfect signal wise. Sometimes it will take 5-10 mins from when i get in my car to switch from 1x to 4g while my wife's phone and previous phones never were in 1x. Anything I can possibly do or am I stuck with this issue? Not rooted unfortunately. My next step with htc was a replacement through them. Any suggestions?

This phone like many new phones has a single radio. If you start a call on 4g and fall off 4g the call goes. That is not a fault of the phone but moreso the way the death of cdma is playing out.
You may want to find a 4g network extender or get vzw to give you one.
