Looks like you are in a bad signal area. Try setting your phone to Sprint only.

force roam

Sprint is terrible in my area so I always force roam when im home and ive been doing this for about 6 months now with no problems, but Lately when I turn force roam on I get no service or 1 bar. Ive tried to reflashing roms and also updating profile and what not. Any help would be cool, thanks.
Maybe sprint saw how much force roam data you were using and cut you off

That'd probably what it is. At least they didn't cut you off for roaming too much.

Really weird Data/Voice problem

My phone came up with two triangles with exclamation points on it in the notification bar. One said data access restricted and the other one said voice access restricted. My phone was fine and when I got out of the shower those notifications were there. So, after that my voice and data would not work. I rebooted and voice came back, but data is gone. I cant connect to 4g/3g or anything. My IMEI is there still. I didnt flash anything. Anyone have a clue what might be causing this?
Bump

I'm not sure. I know under data it just said disconnected. It didn't say roaming. Btw I'm talking about using the phone info app to see status. My voice showed bars, but when I tried to make a call it said not registered on network. I rebooted and moved my phone to a good reception spot and data is working. So strange. Does this phone say when it roams?

It should.
Also, go to settings, more settings, mobile networks and check data roaming. If it happens again it should definitely tell you.
Make sure your plan covers nationwide roaming so you dont accidentally get charged.

More settings> mobile networks> network mode
Then choose combo with lte listed

It's not working on my either and the LTE option was already chosen.
I believe they screwed up on this, they'll probably fix this with an update.
They're setting us up. They're not gonna give it to us until the 4g lte price hike.

Funny I get 4g like no body's business. I stay connected even more so than my daughter's evo lte.
Try set to home only (sprint) under roaming. Notice my data is a whole lot stable compare to automatic.
Yeah it works...i get 4g. It connects automatically

Roaming

if i purchase roam control will i get fast 3g while roaming on verizons network or will it be slow. currently now when my phone goes into roaming i get very slow 3g data even if i have full bars
I always wondered how this works too
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
You have to use a prl that supports 3g roaming also. If your just using the prl that came with the phone then your prob only roaming on 1x even though the phone says 3g. Theres lots of threads on this matter however u might find some helpful info in this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906471 btw.....LTE roaming is impossible.
Besides roam control is there any other way to force roaming??

By loading a VZW PRL. There's a thread in the dev section with a bunch of them.

Or manually force your phone to only use the 850mhz band, which is basically what Roam Control does on the S3.
and how do i do that? can you please provide a link

Cm10.1 data switching issue

When I turn on my data it switches between 3g and 4g and I can't even figure it out
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
That is how it is supposed to work, nothing to figure out.
My gfs phones never switches or anything my phones does all the time
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What is she on and it never switches to what? If she hasn't updated her modem it will stay on 3g all the time. It is like this on every AOSP rom for our phone. Unless there is a theme that edits it out.
If speedtest says it's fine, it's fine.
It just switches from 4g to 3g all the time but I guess I'll have to live with it
