I was mucking about like an idiot in the ##DATA# menu and in trying to get LTE here (we're covered but my phone doesn't seem able to connect), I hit "reset APN defaults" and the 6 options I had turned into 2.
No big deal you'd think but now I can't even get a 3G signal with CDMA/LTE as my option in the regular network area of the OS. I can only get a 3G signal when I have CDMA (exclusively) selected.
The weird part is I do get a temporary 3G signal when I update my profile or PRL but then it vanishes again upon completion. I also get 3G when I force roam with Roam Control.
Does anyone have any ideas? How can I get that old APN menu back and/or fix this lack of data when not in CDMA only mode?
For anyone who runs into the same issue, your bog standard factory reset takes care of it.

My phone keeps going from 1xrrt to 3g(3g roaming area/rural) I've tried all PRLs same results. So I heard about the ##3282# settings. within this is there a way I can put Evdo only ? Kinda noob at this so I'll ask before going ahead
Update: I went ahead did the 3282 number and ESPT mode pops up. I choose Edit. Then i clicked on Evdo and HDR ONLY instead of Automatic. Now when I check to see what network I'm on it says Evdo_A wooo. but still it's only 1 or 2 bars. So I guess the reason why it drops from 1x to Evdo is because the weak signals? but Verizon map shows they have FULL 3g coverage here.(philadelphia MS) Owell I guess I'll play around with more settings and see what I come up with, if you have any help that would be great for me.
I'm using the Samsung Epic and i just bought roam control...when i press roam only it goes into roam signal but there is no 3g or 1x or any data...did i do something wrong? how do i get data to work? Thanks
go to settings from the home screen and make sure you have data roaming turned on... but if I'm not mistaken, you will only ever data roam on 1x (talking from experience, not any known document or anything)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Data roaming is on... any other possible solution?
I have used this app before without a hitch. I couldn't get data to work until I picked "roam" for the data roam guard.

You may have already done this, but ensure your data network is ACTIVATED (hold down the power button and instead of selecting power off, select data network). If it is already activated, i.e. you get a 3G signal when you get a Sprint signal, then try deactivating it and reactivating it.
Btw, you are not using a 3G toggle widget of any sort are you? The ones that actually work only work about 50% of the time (buggy), so I don't use them anymore.
If all else fails, try rebooting, wait for a Sprint 3G symbol then switch to Roam.
I thought I remember from somewhere that our roaming is onto the verizon network. And that in the sprint/ verizon agreement, that sprint customers who roam on verizon are restricted to 1x.
I think this is part of why with sprints ec05, it won't show 1x, just 3g no matter what.
I updated my phone to EI 22 using Nubernel-2.6.35_v0.0.1 and ever since when ever my phone roams I get no data not 1x nothing I was on PRL 1114 so thinking maybe that was causing i updated and it went to 60683 but I still get no data when roaming. I tried changing all the settings in the roaming tab under settings no luck anyone else having this problem?? How do I fix I use to get 3g roaming with the PRL 11114 no i get no data at all when roaming on any PRL
Check your roaming settings.
Menu>Settings>Wireless and Network>Roaming (at least that is what mine is) (EI22 ERA Beta 3.3)
There are settings in there for Roaming Mode, Settings, and Guard.
I'd recommend Roaming Mode to be automatic.
Roaming settings to be Voice and Data... (Domestic I imagine)
Roaming guard prompts you if you want to roam on each of the settings checked.
Hey thanks for the reply I have played around with all of those different setting to no avail but I think today it finally fixed its self. The problem was when I went to a roaming area and the prompt comes up asking if you want to roam, well it would do that but the prompt would actually never come up so I could go ahead and click ok to roam. but for some reason it did today finally so all good I even tried turning the prompt off and just telling it to roam in the settings like you said but that didn't work either so I don't know what the deal was but it is working now finally.
Glad to hear! Have a good weekend!
I was just wondering what network settings Sprint users are you for the best signal?? What I mean is what preferred network type are you using. I have noticed since I roam at home mine is mostly on unknown but a fresh boot up of stock starts on GSM/cdma auto prl. But I get the best signal when I change it to cdma auto prl. On GSM/cdma auto prl I'm roaming but I don't get any bars and data connection turns on and off but cdma auto prl I get at least one bar in and out but data stays connected and all my texts and calls come straight through. On any other setting its no telling when I'll receive a notification could be hours or days long as I'm home. But I have noticed that having it on cdma auto prl I get slower speeds like it picks evdo rev: 0:7 and fluctuates between that rev A and 1x. There is another setting in a different menu I can't really remember what it's called I forgot the dialer code to get to the menu I think it's like ehrpd or something like that. Any help or opinions greatly appreciated I think there are settings that are making this phone so slow on data my Photon is a lot faster on 3g than my nexus but Motorola will lie about your signal unless you know better but its always got a stronger signal and faster connection. One more question does a kernel have anything to do with good or bad signals I see my phone acts different with different kernels like stronger signal faster connection and vice versa.
Thank you

I noticed that I can no longer roam on my Sprint GS3. I used to be able to, back when I was using the rooted stock ROM, but now I just get no signal in places where I should have roaming coverage. I know this because my brother's GS3 will be roaming in an area where I'm showing no coverage.
I tried using the LI3, LG8, LG2, and LG9 radios. Have also tried several different ROMs, including AOKP, FreeGS3, and JellyBomb. I also had manually-loaded PRL of 11115, and then tried updating, which gave me 24006.
I also tried all the different tricks I'm aware of -- toggling airplane mode to see if it will choose a new network. And I've checked to make sure that roaming is allowed and isn't set to "Sprint only."
At this point, I'm thinking of going back to stock to see if that works. I'm not sure what to expect with that, though.
Has anybody experienced anything like this?
As far as I know, you arent able to roam on 3g. If you put the corporate prl on your phone, you can then roam on other carriers.
Oops, I should clarify. I can't roam at ALL... meaning no voice, no 1X data, nothing. It shows the "No signal" icon.
Make sure you have roamimg enabled in mobile network settings

Yes, I suffered the same thing yesterday. Until roam control is fixed I suggest looking at loading of Verizon prl in this situation. It is easy enough on this phone to do it and then switch to a sprint prl when you get back to your home area.
Also check Network settings, are you on "Automatic" or "Sprint"?
I had to toggle data and voice on and off until it gave me are you sure you want to roam message after that it started working.(In roam settings)
