I am interested if anyone else has encountered what I have.
I headed home today and when I got there I had no signal. I thought that maybe the roaming guard was enabled. I went into the settings to disable the roaming guard and well there were no roaming settings for me to modify.
Has anyone else encountered loss of cell service when out of the sprint service area?
Currently using the following Boost Mobile ROM:
SPH-D710-BST FG31 (FG31 ROM/Kernel/Modem - Full Restore - Unrooted)
that rom doesnt have the roaming option lol if u need roaming flash another rom

Thank you for the information. I guess I won't be using that ROM anymore.
Roam control doesn't work?
Yeah roam control works for me fine. You may get a android.phone force close but once it restarts it'll work fine.
*update*
Ah didn't see you not rooted. It won't work. Sorry :/

Bought my phone form Rogers. LTE was working fine.
Was going to USA and paid an online company to send me unlock code.
Used it and went using Tmobile which only has EDGE data.
Just got back swapped back in my SIM From fRogers and can only get EDGE speeds.
Tried reboots rmoving SIM card.
Also made sure settigns were correct for Rogers APNs and also that toggle was on for GPS/HSPA/LTE.
To no avail.
Briefly, I toggled on and off the apn setting from ROgers LTE to tethering LTE and low and behold it seemed to work.
But now it is back to stuck on EDGE and nothibg I am doing can help.
Can this be a byproduct of the unlock?
Is my LTE faulty?
I s there some hidden menu where perhaps a setting can be changed for a fix?
I am depserate as the alternative is to return the phone and they are on backorder everywhere now.
have you gone into settings> more settings> mobile newtorks>and taken a look at your access point names and your network mode?
yes
I even confirmed with Rogers and settings are correct
Are there any service mode type ways to switch on/off data? Maybe I inadvertently did something
What area you in now and was before.
Did you tried different locations like out of your house,work, out of city.

Try setting it to WCDMA only, and then use the network operators button to search for networks

Will try this again. though not sure of that option.
for me under network mode it gives me choice of GSM
HSPa
BOth with auto connect
or those two with LTE auto connect.
Right now if I try to select HSPA only ct it does't change and reverts to GSM/HSPA/LTE (auto). Seems it will only accept a choice that allows it to default back to Edge (GSM)
Anyone know if there are some deeper settings to

If I change the sim and put it in my old s2 I get 3g speeds right away so I should at least be getting that and I know form the day I got it that LTE was working well in my home.
it depends on what they flashed maybe they flashed a different antenna because the freq's of the tmo version are diff than the rogers version
Wasn't a flash. It was an unlock code for Rogers entered at the invalid SIM screen. They were not told which network I would be using it

Try resetting factory settings again, and flash this Rogers modem.

Can I flash the modem if I am not rooted.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Does flashing the modem show evidence of such?
I.e if this attempt at a fix fails my recourse is to return the phone as defective. Don't want there to be any evidence of tampering that could void my warranty
You can flash modem.without rooted.
Zip.file.modem.through cwm or .tar modem file through Odin.
And if you are under 14 days of purchase, reset your phone to get your log minutes under 30.
But I guess you.won't need to do.that, flashing.modem and reset should work.

Well did factory reset before risking modem flash.
Low and behold while i had to reinstall and setup everything again, LTE is now working again.
Not sure what happened. Will ultimately root at least to back things up.
I have read the countless posts on the 3g issues, but when I try to access *#*#4636#*#* and change to wcdma only or preferred it won't stay the option just instantly changes back to CDMA and won't stick.
I was on paranoid android and flashed the cm10.1 12/08 nightly hoping the fix would work but it hasn't really. I read of a flashable fix and was hoping to get that but the link is down. Not really sure what to do at this point and I don't want to go back to touch wiz

Not sure wat 3g issues u speak of... 3g should be the least of ur concerns on cm10. Changing the settings in *#*#4636#*#* is temporary. Use the network selection mode under system settings in cm10. Ur problem is most likely not from 3g but from the hand off from 3g to (ehrpd) to lte and any combination of the above. It is a known issue even if ur not in a full lte covered area yet. The APN is not configured properly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35205882.

And I'm pretty sure there's an apn commit being entered in the next nightly that addresses the problem

As a user the problem manifests itself as me not being able to get 3g back unless I reboot so that's why I called it a 3g issue, sorry for not using the correct jargon. But thanks for the link.
The zip in that link worked temporarily but now I'm back to the same issues but worse because I completely lose all radios a few times a minute, except WIFI when lte is off in settings. When lte/cdma is selected in settings I have the same issues as before.
I think at this point I'm just going back to a touch wiz Rom it's not worth the missed calls and text messages to be on an awesome Rom. When my phone came back on from the fix i had like five text messages pop up from last night. And now I'm always just going to winner what I missed. I heard this bug mainly affects non touch wiz roms

I flashed the urban karnage 1.5 today and now my cell signal is no longer set up correctly. This rom does not let you set you manual apn's. Anybody's thoughts on why I am only getting 3g where I used to get lte?
Thanks

I managed to get into the APN settings and make the correct changes but it was useless I still could not get on the HSPA network that I could get on my stock rom
I had roam control on my phone not too long ago & it worked perfect. Nothing it didn't do that I wanted it to..
Well I recently put it back on my phone & it's still working , but now, whenever I am in Roam Only mode.. Nobody can call my.phone.. When they do, it just goes straight.to my.voicemail.
I used to be able to receive calls just fine, whether I was roaming or not.
Anyone have any ideas of why it may be doing this?? Would appreciate any input.. Thanks guys!!

What is your rom, kernel, modem, and prl?
I took a screenshot of my about phone section and attached it. Is that what you were asking for? I don't know how to check my prl. If you can tell me how, I would appreciate it..

At the top of that page where you took the screenshot should be a Status or Phone Status option... tap that and scroll down to see the PRL.
For example my prl is 60690 and it roams just fine.
Mine says, PRL 21092

& I have come to find out that, if someone calls me it goes straight to voicemail & it's not just when I'm using roam control app.. It's anytime I roam at all...
How can I fix this??

Are they doing work in the area? This happened to me during NV upgrades.

Don't think so. I have horrible service where I live. I'm on sprint, but for some reason I get no signal here usually. That's why I use my roaming sometimes. But I've used the roam control app before & would get calls just fine when roaming. Then I had to reset my.phone and reinstall the app, & now I can't get calls while roaming, at all.

For some reason I've been having an issue with mobile data ceasing to function after enabling then disabling Wifi.
I'm on Ting an MVNO of Sprint. Shouldn't make much of a difference but has anyone had this problem?
If I reboot, mobile data works, right up until I toggle Wifi on and off.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Another observation. If I toggle Network Mode from CDMA+LTE/EVDO and then back again mobile data function will restore. So now I've found a way to avoid a necessary reboot, but still, wondering why this is happening.

What did you do? I'm also using Ting and have a Samsung Galaxy SIII running CM10.2. I have no data and not sure how to configure APNs..
This Ting help forum has a download that worked for me with CM. LTE working fine now.

Thanks for the post, though I solved the issue as well two days ago. I'll post my thread here just incase some other poor soul wanders in with the same issues as I.
