Possible to use Verizon 3G in Los angeles/OC area? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure where else to put this, quick question specifically regarding our phones. I've read that Samsung has a radio bug making it so we cannot roam on the PCS band. After using roam control and a bunch of PRLs, I've been unable to roam on 3G data in my area. How can I check if verizon broadcasts on PCS in my area? or does anyone know off the bat if it's possible to roam on verizon's 3G in southern california (minus san diego)?

Verizon? Epic 4G is Sprint. You possibly talking about a Fascinate?

no you can edit your PRL and force roam to use verizon's data as both networks are CDMA. except where I live apparently.

There is a pre-edited prl somewhere for the epic but I forgot where. If you can find it, it should let you roam

PRL 11114

How do I use this to roam on to verizon's 3g network?
Anyone? I was under the impression that roaming onto verizon's 3g was the only benefit of 11114. Should I just switch to a normal prl?
na i wouldent switch it roams too verizon when needed but id update to 1115 ive had it since the post was put out and ive liked it so far ive got better roaming service in my house and ****
Roam control in the market lets you force roaming. Highly recommended .
I recently upgraded to 11115 and I'm still unable to roam on to data (even when using roam control.) What gives?

What state r u in?
There are a few ( I can't remember which ones) that Sprint doesn't broadcast on a band that would allow for Roam Control to work. I know Florida is one of those states because I live there and NO Roam Control for me .
Edit:
From Roam Control; developers website:
Q: When I select "roam only", why does the phone have no signal?
A: Chances are you have a Samsung phone, right? Samsung phones have different behavior - when in "roam only", they only roam on the 800mhz frequency band. There are areas in the US that are 1900mhz only, which means that Samsung phones will not get a signal in those areas.
Most if not all of Florida falls under 1900mhz only. I believe parts of Texas is as well.
I live in Houston, TX the prl 11114 does not work for me. I use the normal prl 60890 or something like that from sprint.
Modded EVO 4G sending you this from the dark side of the moon.
I live in connecticut; regular roaming works just fine with roam control, I'm just unable to roam on 3g.

Roam Control?

Anyone know how this app works?
If you select Automatic, how's does it work?
Does the app remain in the background monitoring stuff?
What's the difference between this app and the built-in roaming switch for the phone?
Do I need to manually select Roam within the app everytime I'm in a low signal area?
Is there a guide or manual for this app?
It seems like I can do the same things by simply going to the Roaming options in Settings. I really don't get this app and feel like I just wasted 5 bucks on it.

This app gives you the ability to only roam. The selection when you pick roaming through settings is inferior to this app because your phone still searches for sprint signal and usually gives you 1x data . When you want to roam just go to options select manufacturer and then go to main and select roam only. When you want to switch back just select automatic or home only. It's very simple. This app plus the 11115 prl gives me great service at work and 3g data as well.

Ok, I selected Samsung for the manufacturer and then I selected Roam Only. The signal bar then had the small triangle above it and the 3g icon disappeared. I cannot access data, the market, browser and Tapatalk doesn't connect to the Internet. What am I missing? How can I roam with this app and also roam on data?
BTW, I am in Virginia.

You can't roam if the roaming signal being broadcast is on PCS and not cellular. This varies depending on where you are. Now you can "roam" by making the phone think it's not roaming with another carriers PRL

Oh that sucks. Yea, you may need to try a different prl try one of the corp prls that start with 1**** instead of 6****.
If that doesn't work you may be out of luck cuz you are in a a pcs area more than likely. I'm in michigan in an urban area at work so I'm basically roaming off Verizon network.

Besides the benefit of 3G roaming, from my understanding 11115 is an open PRL, this means that if it can't find a system on its list it will still connect you to another signal if its present even if its not on the preferred list.

So it is confirmed that E4GT inherited this radio bug from earlier Samsung models? or is that just going by the FAQ for the app?
One would think Samsung would have fixed that problem by now. The phone clearly can get PCS signal or you wouldn't get Sprint service, so not being able to roam with PCS signal (vs CLR signal) is likely a radio problem.

Well heres how I confirmed. The lab I work in is a very low signal area (basement of big concrete building). When my OG Evo roams it jumps back and forth between PCS and Cellular. When my ET4G roams it only roams on cellular, never switches to PCS. This is using the same 11115 PRL on both phones. Given this and the previous presence of the bug, it was enough for me.
You would think they would fix it, but I'm guessing Sprint doesn't want them to. Less money they have to pay roaming partners.

@Rip,
I just tried with both 00001.prl and 11115.prl... Both show NO DIFFERENCE for me on the SGSII. Speedtests from Speakeasy.net show no difference in speeds (300kbps/300kpbs) for each prl in both roaming and non-roaming via Roam Control. This truly sucks because I feel this phone can't even use Verizon's signal for data in my area.

If your using 00001 then you shouldn't need roam control you'd be on verizon or another cdma carrier by default. But that doesn't always mean that verizon is faster, sprints 3g speeds are actually better in my area than verizon 3g. But verizon has lte here. If you want to confirm whose network your on dialing *2 will usually (but not always) connect you to verizon if your roaming on their towers, also there's an app called netmonitor which will list the system id your on

Ok, let me see if I got this straight. With 00001.prl, I can just get rid off Roam Control since my phone will always be roaming and all I need to do is keep my roaming options within the phone settings to Automatic correct? With this being said, here is how Netmonitor reads my phone:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Am I good to go? I don't need to switch roaming because it will always be roaming off Verizon?

Well, yes if thats what you want. You'll always be on Verizon.
However...
If you haven't heard, even though Sprint says free roaming, they can still terminate your contract for excessive voice and/or data roaming.
IIRC the "limit" that makes sprint take a second look is over 50% of your minutes for voice or 300mb+ roaming data.
This is a very YMMV situation. Some people have 4gb roaming data and sprint doesn't say anything, others get termination letters; some have used this trick to get out ETF free.
I like 11115 + RC because I can switch back and forth at will, you unfortunately don't have that option because it seems they don't transmit data on the cellular band in your area. If these were HTC phones we could switch PRLs on the phone itself without having to connect to a PC.
I made sure data was being broadcast on the cellular band in my area before buying this phone, but I knew about this before hand (well thought it would probably not be fixed yet).
I absolutely love this phone but if I lived in your area I wouldn't have it. Getting a signal is my number one priority.

Roam control/prl 11115 question

Has anyone had in issue running this prl and roaming? My download speeds are not any quicker at all. I can run the 00001 prl and speeds pick way up, but roaming on 11115 doesn't like it's supposed to. I ran this prl on my et4g and it worked great. This prl also didn't seem to work on my previous HTC phones (Evo4g and 3d..).
Any thoughts?
Nothing?

Two possibilities:
1) 11115 is not going to guarantee 3G roaming in all markets. Sprint only has 3G roaming for certain accounts in certain markets. No Sprint PRL will help you in those locations. You may just be in a location that Sprint does not have a 3G roaming agreement with anyone.
2) 11115 is a rather OLD PRL... It may be referring to 3G towers, but those towers may no longer be in service or have been reclassified in a roaming agreement to be 1x only.
That being said... 11115 provides 3G roaming in Milwaukee on my SG2, but 1x on my SG3. My SG3 gives me great 3G speeds on 12121.

12121 roams me onto US Cellular as a first choice. 99% of the time it's a 3G signal. Sometimes US Cellular only has a 1x signal in an area, then I'm screwed.
If US Cellular isn't available at all, THEN is goes to Verizon.

4G LTE On Verizon PRL

So this was strange.
Riding the bus in Los Angeles listening to music and surfing the web on my phone when LTE pops up. Now as you can see I have PRL 1 which forces roaming on Verizon towers. I checked my speeds to see if this was indeed true and I was hitting 16mbps+.
This lasted about a minute until I moved out of the area and signal went back to 3G.
Anyone can explain?

That doesn't explain why I don't get LTE signal on the Verizon PRL on spots I know to have Sprint LTE though. For example at home I get a steady LTE signal -although at joke speeds. sometimes I'll be hitting 4mbps other times I'll get lucky if i even hit 1mbps- but I'll still use PRL 1 and not get Sprint LTE.
So was this a glitch that made me jump on Sprint tower although I was on forced roaming?
I think of going back and testing if this happens again. For anyone in LA, this was in Figueroa and Colorado Pasadena, CA

This has been explained numerous times... when you are roaming (on Verizon) but you have an LTE connection, it is two different signals. You are getting EVDO/1xRTT coverage from Verizon and LTE coverage from Sprint... no one on Sprint is roaming Verizon's LTE. Two different frequency spectrums of throughput.

Actually, I think the OP meant it's impossible to grab Sprint's LTE 1900 on a Verizon only PRL. Due to common belief, it's said you must be on a Sprint PRL that has LTE enabled to connect to it. The OP's situation is a rare one.
I wonder if Digiblur can enlighten us here, since I've always believed you needed a Sprint-Only LTE capable PRL to connect to Sprint's LTE network.

Exactly this.
I wasn't aware I could jump to Sprint LTE on a Verizon only PRL considering in areas I do get Sprint LTE coverage, I won't get 4G unless I update my PRL to a Sprint one.

Can't you just check your assigned LTE IP address to see if it was issued by Verizon or not?
I bet if you look at the LTE engineering screens it shows a Sprint PCS G block connection. From what I have seen in the past, you do need a PRL with the MCC/MNC records for that Geo. I have seen the Nexus not need this, probably because it doesn't have a qualcomm chipset.

I don't believe that is possible. Verizon and sprint use different frequencies for lte. They only share 3g and 2g frequency.
