Just wondering for those of you running Cyanogen 9 alpha 2 for epic 4g touch which prl are you on?I am on 60608 and speeds are terrible.I may have to go back to ginger bread and update prl and profile.What do you guys think?

I have found that unlike HTC phones, I CANNOT make this phone roam on vzw
I flashed prl 00001 , my roomate has 4 bars on vzw and i still have 0 bars
You need to go into mo Ile networks and select national and international roaming the for systems select automatic.
Roaming is turned off by default.

512?? That's actually rather good for Sprint 3g.... going back and updating will not have any effect on you. I live in an area that is only 1x rtt and the best speeds I get are 20 kbps. Yes 20. I'd love to have those speeds.... So you really have nothing to complain about. It's 3 g. Not 4g...

wish I could get more than 10kbps in Reno Nevada you'd think they had better coverage but every 5 steps I'm roaming or I have 1x now I found out sprint won't be doing 4g wimax anymore just lte so it makes our super expensive super fast 4g wimax phones worthless. Hate how they advertise blazing fast 3g/4g and very few people actually see he speeds.

Actually I rarely get 512 kbps its actually gone as low as 100 or less for the most part.Oh yeah 4g is a joke and non existent. It will connect and get slower speeds than 3g. Oh well.

no go for me in the bronx. still slow but 4g is right where it needs to be!
You must be living directly under a tower or the force is strong with you. Nothing happening at my end.
That's the speed we got in Buffalo NY(150-250kbps).
Buffalo-the second largest city in NY always gets **** last,even Rochester has 4g.
But when i was in Rochester i tried 4g and it was almost the same as 3g about 700kbps which is the speed t mobile had 4 years ago with better ping on their 3g+,lol.
Hi. I was waiting for Roam Control to work on S3 to be able to force roaming whenever I get bad 3G speeds on Sprint, which is quite often.
So now this day have come, but I can't find prl file that would allow 3G speed while roaming! I tried 24006 - still get 1x when roaming.
Modded prl like 00001 etc will just connect to Verizon network full time. Not what I need. And even with this modded prls whenever I'm roaming, still getting 1x speed on Verizon.
Is there no hope? No way to get 3G roaming speed?
12121 is working great for me in Milwaukee. None of the prl's starting with 2 have me 3g roaming. Neither did 11115, which works fine on my S2.

12121 all the way. No roaming - sprint 3g, roaming - another carrier 3g.
Old school non LTE 11115 works great on Sprint 3G or Verizon 3G for me. I don't have any LTE yet so I'm not missing anything
nope.. nothing works for me here in NY
tried 12121 and 11115. still getting 1x speed
anyone got this working in NY? anyone tries to combine prls? surely if I can get 3G speed with 00001 then it is possible to do when roaming as well?
help

Yeah I know. Don't need that. Just wondering, if 00001 works fine here, then there's gotta be prl that lets me do 3G roaming.
Tried 12123, same thing. 1x speed.
I am using 12124 and have 3g roaming (when available).

You can use any cut to change prl on a touch wiz Rom ...just use 00001 and change when you need update prl to foo back top sprint or try them all until you find one that works

Yeah I know. But I also hate touchwiz. And can't switch prls on CM10. I guess you can't have everything...
Ok so I thought I'd contribute a bit and start a topic regarding what people thought of AT&T's LTE network.
I got an iPhone 5 the day they came out and was getting some amazing speeds. Like 15 Mbps down and 6 Mbps up. But within a few weeks of having my phone I started noticing dramatic drops. I live on Los Angeles and in the city I now get 2-3 down and less than 1 up. So what I would do with my iPhone was turn off LTE and too my surprise the 4g network was doing leaps and bounds better. About 6-8 down but still less than 1 up.
Now I have my new galaxy note 2 and still don't have the best of LTE but 4g is still giving me the high downloads I was seeing on my iPhone 5. So for the most part I keep my LTE shut off on my phone though turning it on and off isn't as easy to do on android as it was on my iPhone. Unless anyone knows a toggle I can add some how?
Anyways just thought I'd start this little discussion to see what everyone else thought about their LTE in their area. Personally I think it's a joke how expensive AT&T is and how poor quality their bandwidth is. If it's gonna be expensive it ought to work great. But I guess that's just how things go with all carriers. Well love to read your guys' thoughts.

thats what i figured but whats good is since most people dont know how to turn it off it leaves my 4g network wide open haha. even though my phone wont boot again now after trying to boot with no sim card in it, back to the forums i go.
how does one force 4g mode from lte?
Take out your sim card. Turn your phone on. Go to your dialer and dial *#2263#

Unfortunately I only get hspa+ in my area but in Allentown, PA about 45 minutes away I got these LTE speeds on rt. 78. Wish I had LTE in the Poconos
Sent from my SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I get no more than 12mb down/9mb up in Margate/Coconut Creek/Boca Raton, FL area and that is at NIGHT when no one is on. During the day, the HSPA+ is faster.
I usually get 10-15 mbps in Tulsa Ok. I have seen 50+ a couple times. Unfortunately I don't get LTE anywhere I go on a daily basis. I can get it by going 2 blocks south of my house, but my daily commute takes me north away from any coverage. Still happy enough with hspa+ as I usually get 4-5 mbps which is plenty fast to do anything I really need to do on my phone.

what does that do? if it turns off lte somehow ( please include how ), then how would it then be reversed to turn lte back on?

If you have tdunham's AIO mod the latest revision with the 3M app uses a 4glte icon for 4G.
Its still plain Jane 4G, not lte.

What area are you in and you know for sure you have lte? It should be on automatic or CDMA/lte
Well, what happened was last night I was at home and I think it was set to CDMA, but I looked in the status bar and it said 4g clear as day (with data) and I was shocked. I'm in Chattanooga tn. It kept switching from 3g to 4g.

Im in knoxville and ive been getting that also.its back and forth..I think its because they are finally starting to switch over
