So we are out on vacation and I can't get a 3G signal. I am using Syndicate Frozen ROM but my wifes unrooted phone gets 3G. It does work within the Sprint network but not when in roaming. Any fix for this? I also can't update my PRL here. Thanks!

I believe that the unrooted stock rom erroneously reports 3g no matter what data signal it is receiving. Have you/she ever seen it not report 3g?
Have you run a speed test on your wife's unrooted phone. She might not be getting 3G either. Most Sprint smartphones will only display 3G as the network you're on no matter what it really is (sometimes 1x, a 2G technology!).
If she is getting at least 300kbps then she does have 3G. To get yours to work on it you need to manually update your PRL.
The attached 11114 PRL has 3G roaming nearly everywhere
Will 11114 still work wen my current PRL is 60680? Also my wife does not have a speed tester app on her phone however she is able to load things faster than I am.

It doesn't matter which PRL you are currently on, if you do what it says in the link you will get 11114 PRL.
However, Sprint will roll you back to 60680 you don't freeze system updates, which you can do with Antek Application manager (in the market).
So with 11114 will sprint be complaining of roaming like on 00001 or be just fine.

If you go over 300mb while roaming it certainly is a possibility. You can still do that without this or the 00001 prl. Usually they only get mad if they notice you aren't using the sprint network at all anymore or if you do 1gb+ roaming per month.
Well as an update I never had the chance to change my PRL and give it a shot. I figured it wasn't worth making the wife mad at me for messing with my phone while we were on vacation. I still would like to know why this happened. I almost never go anywhere that I don't have the Sprint network. Thanks for the help anyways everyone!!
For some reason when I load the 1115 PRL I only get 3g speeds for about 1/2 an hour, then it goes back to 1x. I have tried reloading a couple of different times and still the same thing. I use roam control to switch over to Verizon and that works just dandy, but no 3g speeds. Its the weirdest thing, anyone else have the same issues?
i have same exact problem i am on 1x all the time after 11115 prl
will wait for answer otherwise going to take it back to sprint let them fix it..
Maybe the area ur in doesn't have 3g on vz? I know there's one area I go to that there's barely a vz signal with 1x

1115 only gives 3 g in 5 states. I'm not sure which ones. Chances are 1115 will have no effect for you. If you want 3g you need to use 0001 otherwise your stuck on 1x

Also there is an app in the market called netmonitor it will tell you what if you are roaming.
If the "carrier " says sprint , your not roaming.
It also says the network type you are on.

Man what the hell I'm totally jelous...
Try out roam control. It's been mentioned in these forums before and it works great. Unfortunately it's not on the market anymore but you can buy it directly from the developers website. I use it at work where I get hardly any sprint service and it roams on 3G perfectly. It also helps out my battery because the phone isn't constantly trying to switch from roaming to local. I think the site is roamctrl.com.
I use Roam Control in Atlanta and it works great and I do indeed receive Verizon 3G on my phone. But Roam Control can't magically give you 3G if it's just not available on PRL 11115 in your area. I would try a different PRL but please be wary of roaming all the time. Sprint will eventually be very upset with you.

Can anyone else confirm whether or not this is true? 3g with prl 1115 only works in 5 states?
Use the search button or try it yourself.
It's not hard to load a pro,
Netmonitor will tell you if your roaming and if you have 3g

It works in Houston, Texas area. When my discount with Sprint was through Dish Network all my devices would have the business PRLs. I found a way to change my discount from 16% to 20% by creating a AOL email. Anyway since doing that I no longer get the business PRLs. Not worth the 4%, since I no longer work with Dish Network I am stuck with this AOL discount

I'm not sure that is correct... I am in Pennsylvania and both 1115 & 1119 give me 3g in forced roam all the time. Both Alltel & Verizon are good to go.

try a different prl, the hacked 1337 is the only one that will give me 3g roaming
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267893
I've been using 1115/1119 in CA and am now getting 3g speeds when roaming. That's when Sprint doesn't push the stupid 60686 to my device.
11115 Works for 3g in Seattle area... and +1 to Roam Control...
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.

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?

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).

Yeah I know. But I also hate touchwiz. And can't switch prls on CM10. I guess you can't have everything...
I'm interested in being able to roam on Verizon, since Sprint is a POS at my school and home, and I'm constantly loosing messages, and data speeds are very sad. Anyways, I did a quick search and found a guide on changing the PRL to Sprint's "Corporate PRL" which apparently grants roaming with 3G data on Sprint, but it seems as if though that guide is old (Sept 19 from last year) and I'm not sure it'll work on my ROM (AOKP JB) So, does that guide still work? Is it safe? If no, what are my other options?
Also, how much minutes/texts/data usage would piss off Sprint? I've been meaning to switch for a while now...

I don't want to get too deep into this since there is a PRL thread in the forums, but doesn't that one force you to roam all the time? Sprint has a roaming limit of something like 200MB a month; if you go over that they can and frequently will cancel the rest of your contact. Some people do that on purpose, which I don't recommend or advise. If you just want to use your phone when you don't have much of a signal, use a PRL like 11115 along with the app Roam Control, that way you control when the phone roams.
yes.. oooo2 or w.e is a verizon prl roaming 100%.. i used the sprint corp prl i think 11124 or something which wasnt roaming while set to home only. but would have verizon 3g while in roam only with roam control which is compatible with jb now... however if using verizon eventually u will get a call from sprints roaming team.. and the prl thread is right. just need to be on a tw rom and when u go back to a aosp rom prl will stay until u update it

I would have laughed at that Sprint rep. 3g data has been a joke for along time now on Sprint. 4g it's decent but not even close to other carriers. Only good thing about Sprint is the truly unlimited data because it's so Damn slow

If you know your MSL number
open phone dialer
dial ##data#
edit
enter MSL number
go to other
multimedia
set the proxy numbers to
0.0.0.0
0
0.0.0.0
0
exit out and reboot your phone.
It bypasses the sprint proxy server. One less data hop.

I have a friend of a friend (yeah, I know) who works for Sprint/Nextel. Supposedly, they are knocking down 3G towers and not telling any of their customers.
Another issue that you may or may not be having is 4G downloads on custom kernels. If your 4G download speeds are very slow you may need to use a repack or stock kernel.

This is not true at all. Sprint is disbanding their iden network, beyond that, their towers operate at different frequencies so they carry 3g and 4g on the same tower. What your friend might have been referring to is the practice of re-directing towers when coverage is opened in a new area, which can affect existing service slightly, and typically customers aren't informed.

You could install a port forwarder and a proxy server and forward port 8085 to 127.0.0.1.
Just an idea.
