Is there a way to force 4g roaming? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I live in phoenix arizona with no 4g coverage. We had to get rid of our home internet so no ponger able to use our airrave. I have roam control which works on every ics rom ive used but of course 3g speed isnt fast at all.. is there a way to 4g roam whether it be changing my prl or anything?

4G is WiMax, which is a completely separate radio. What you're asking is like saying, "Is there a way to enable Bluetooth roaming". Clearwire is the only WiMax provider anyways, so even if there was a way, there's no where else to run to.

there isnt anything else to roam off of....
short answer, not doable in any way shape form or fashion

thanks.. wasnt aware of the technology but that makes sense.. looks like ill be using slow 3g speeds lol, i can finally put my unltd data to use.. whats a good prl to use for 3g roaming since my house is a complete DEAD zone for sprint service lol.. i need to be able to download new roms or im screwed.. luckily i downloaded the cm9alpha3 this morning and right now on nocturnal venum v1.0 lol.. and i can now test my tethering

If you roam onto Verizon too much, Sprint will terminate your contract. Just a head's up.

they will only boot you if you are consistently using over 300MB a month in data while roaming or if 80% of your minutes are used while roaming (if you use a lot of minutes).
i use roam control everyday and have no issues and never have

Correction:
For data there's no set limit but around what you stated is a reasonable assumption. The 300 MB limit is for laptop cards and data-only plans. As for minutes, if more than half are used roaming, for 3 months in a row, you get a warning letter. Then you get the boot. I'm a former sprint employee who also received the warning letter lol

That's for 3g cards/data only plans, on a phone plan its done by percentages and not a hard limit its 80%of total mins/month or 50%total data/month

Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Awesome...so whatever speeds i'm getting right now with tmobile i should be getting as well with Simple.
Another question, does Simple throttle you if you use too much data? I tried to find an answer to their website but couldn't find anything.
Simple is far more restrictive of their data usage and you get no roaming.
With Monthly4G you get voice/text roaming but no data roaming. higher data caps too. I would go with Monthly4G
Yeah they do but I'm not so.much of a data hog I use less than 2 gigs for a daily use phone its nice I use wifi when ever possible, they throttle after 2gigs , and for 2
Months I haven't had an issue for the price and no contract I like it

I think your right. Simple mobile is just reselling the T-Mobile $60 2gig plan by calling it an unlimited plan. This is technically true, as they don't ever cut off your data, they just throttle it.

Incredibly slow 3g with full bars!!!

I just recently purchased an epic 4g touch on sprint with their unlimited plan and every where I go I usually get full bars but still can't go faster than 9kb/s once I hit around 30 but over been hearing people get around 200-300 anyone know what I can do to increase my speeds. Also note I don't have 4g in my area so that's not an option
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
That is normal Sprint speed....
But seriously, try going to a Sprint store. Checking your phone side by side with their model Epic 4G Touch.
Thanks I might try that gotta revert to a stock rom tho. Also my parents had crappy Samsung intercepts and i saw about 100-150 KB/s so it might be my phone
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I think the signal bars prioritize 1x (aka 2G) for phone signal, rather than actual data speeds. I also heard signal strength isn't as big of a concern with CDMA as it is with GSM. (Meaning CDMA can reach farther, I think.)
Well is there anything I can do cause phone calls and texting work great its the data connection that slows down it took 2 solid days downloading to get grand theft auto 3 lol I really want this to work better for tethering I don't have wifi

Has Sprint's signal always been...lacking there? Or has it suddenly gotten that bad? My guess if it you used to have good speeds, then there must be an outage somewhere. You can try all of the 3G and 4G modifications to see if they work better. Also flashing each modem 1 by 1 and testing each one can help some. But overall, you wont see much of an improvement because signal usually has to do with Sprint's end.
Haven't tried flashing each modem but ive done modifications to my 3g settings ive even tried going into data programming and changing the port it connects to. Sprints coverage might have degraded out here it wasn't too great to begin with I get stuck in roaming alot lately

Yep that's sprint for ya. They will tell you its because they have so many customers and all of them are abusing the network.
So I wonder how att and Verizon manage to have better speeds.

I just remembered. Sprint offers airaves to people with bad signal at home. An airave hooks up to your riuter or modem and broadcasts sprint signal within a few hundred feet. I'd suggest asking Sprint for one. I also heard you can use them as an upgrade line when you want a new phone. Lol

Straight Talk BYOP Working with locked SGS2

Just wanted to jump in, and let anyone know, that my locked to tmobile SG2 running Dark Slide works 100% with Straight Talk's new Bring Your Own Phone.
I even ported my number, took 4 hours for everything including data to be working 100%, and I am still getting 4G speeds.
And my phone is still locked to tmobile.
Hope this helps.
Wait you still get 4g? How? Straight talk doesn't offer any 4g plans.

Please be kind enough to post a speed test
I'm a little n00b at straight talk, but do they offer unlimited data or something?
Sorry, Ive been busy.
Average results for speed....
Now, keep in mind, im in the middle of nowhere in north texas, so standing in the living room might get better than going outside, or 3 feet to the left..
Down Up
.77 .62
1.21 .98
.82 .67
6.90 1.38
6.20 3.21
5.33 1.16
.88 .38
6.55 3.44
so, it is all over the place, but then again I am a 1000 miles from nowhere, next time I go to say, Mkinney, or even the Plano area, Ill probably get the 21+ speeds. Also, I flashed the Blaze Modem, switched to the WCDMA settings, just kinda messing around for now to see what I may get, Ive never really monitored my speeds while on TMO, phone is always connected wifi at home, and even then, ill use my tablet, so data doesnt matter to me.
Voice and SMS/MMS are flawless, and that matters to me.
So can the phone roam on att towers?

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I just ported my number tonight. I gave up lte for a 45 a month plan. I switched to att in 08 for the iphone 3g. I paid 70 unlimited talk, 30 unlimited data, 5 for 200 texts add taxes around 120. 120×12=1440 a year opposed to 45×12=540. That's a 900 savings a yr. I can buy a phone with no contract with what I save. I'll give up lte speed for 900, I still get 4g with around 2-3 mbps download and 1 mbps upload. I'm on wifi at home and even if I do a little tethering on my cm9 touchpad at work I wont go over straight talks watchful eyes for people who have 4-10 gb of data usage a month. I definitely broke the att shackles tonight and have no complaints. Even if someone has to pay back early termination fees you have to do the math and see if you're still saving over a year or two. 1440 a year ×2= 2880; 540×2= 1080 for 2 years of a contract I will have saved 1800.

I roamed 97.4 GB last month

Recently I have been getting an extremely unreliable 4g connection and my 3g connection isn't much better. I called Sprint several times but they offered me no resolution except to "feel free to roam until we fix the towers in your area". So I turned off 4g and set my phone to automatically allow roaming. This month I had to download nearly 80 GB of images off of a cloud service because my subscription was about to expire. Right now my only internet connection is through my phone, so I tethered it to my PC in order to download the files.
It turns out I was roaming the entire time and I have roamed around 97.4 GB in my most recent billing cycle. Do you think they are going to terminate my contract? Or do you think I will get off with a warning?

I say this because extreme roaming data usage will grab attention and they will sort through IP's, just letting you know that as it just happened to my cousin. He hit 78G in data roaming and they found out he was using his phone for PC gaming while on vacation. And yep he is paying for it right now.
How is that even possible? I've been told if over half of your usage is roaming you will be disconnected. Even though Sprint claims roaming is unlimited.

it's in terms and conditions of the contact. They hold the right for excessive roaming.
And if they determine that you're tethering without paying, they'll claim fraud.

Oh no they'll cancel you contract when you don't pay that big bill. But yes you will have to pay for services rendered which is tethering and data used beyond the 5gigs given for tethering.
But like I said earlier carriers are not stupid and they will come after you and they know places lime this and could link your statement here as proof bit they really won't need that once they drop the IP bomb that will tell them what devices where used via your phone. Trust me they can tell but no system.is bullet proof so they cannot block it as some apps pull info via desktop browsers calls and a blanket block would kill those. So they just tag all the over the top users, especially when roaming is envolved.

Guess what sprint just did...

They pushed a PRL auto update to my phone... Now I am not roaming anymore. They did this shortly after hitting 5GB for this pay period.
Screw you sprint. I'm putting it back. I have been roaming for a few months now and racking up a ton of data. They have not contacted me about it at all.
So if you guys are force roaming your phones, be it to have them kick you or just because, check your PRLs.
Off-network Roaming: The primary use of your Device must be for domestic purposes within the Sprint-owned network. Domestic means use in the 50 United States and U.S. Territories (except Guam). Sprint reserves the right, without notice, to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if off-network usage in a month exceeds: (1) voice: 800 min. or a majority of minutes; or (2) data: 300 megabytes or a majority of kilobytes. The display on your device may not always be on and will not indicate whether you will incur roaming charges. You can monitor usage online through My Account. Roaming is not available with single-band phones, or to customers who reside or whose primary use is outside an area covered by the Nationwide Sprint Network. Sprint may limit or terminate service if you move outside of the Sprint owned-network.
Not saying it's right. Just saying it's what you agreed to when you signed that dotted line. Read your terms closer and you will be less surprised. This is why it can be worth it to pay a little more for a better network with better roaming terms.

Here you go. What happen today on my phone by sprint, all the sudden my phone pop up with android on screen and Downloading
It says " don't turn off device on target".
I don't know on the last written On Target??. Immediately I pull off battery then back to normal.
Just may be I thought like yours, because I use roaming all time this month around 6GB.. Either sprint to push pro update or something else.

Nope. Not what happened to mine. That is a regular download mode. However. Check your device info. I have a hunch. Does it say 4.2? Only if you are on TW based ROM.
I discovered this when my device displayed a triangle next to my signal bars after a call. I put the device in airplane mode then back. Thought all was well until I couldn't load any Web based apps. Went and checked my PRL and it had been force updated.

I am really sorry if this is out of line and/or stupid....but how does one go about finding out which prl would be the best for their particular area of coverage?
Trial and error.
