Problems with roaming... - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

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.

Do you still have an Alltel plan? If so, you need a different PRL file, such as the Hybrid Alltel/Verizon prl.
I have an alltel plan. It's never done this until I loaded Ruby up. Where do I get a hybrid?

Dial *22899 from your phone. It should reprogram it. Even if it makes calls, some files may need to be fixed. This should work on Alltel & Verizon.

Thanks man!

[SOLVED]Can't get 4g or 3g. Only E.

I fixed it by flashing a new ROM and wiping all the data!
Someone please help! I don't know what to do!
Nevermind, I think I fixed it!
I fixed it by changing the band to GSM Preferred/GSM ALL but now I only get E. Any way I can get back 4g?
Change it back to automatic or Odin kl1 modem from rootzwiki team kang post.

I changed it to auto, and i'm getting signal. Time to check if 4g. Thanks.
EDIT: It shows signal, but Im not getting any. Can't send text or browse web. Time to odin modem.
I flashed it, and I went to settings and looked at the network mode: It was GSM only. I changed it to auto mode. It seems to still get and send texts, and I looked at band selection with the dialer code, and there wasn't a star besides anything. I think it might've worked, but I still only get e.
By flashed I mean odined. Lol

I tried changing it to automatic in the band selection menu, and it showed signal, but texts didn't send.

Also, if it means anything, I can't change it to wcdma only in settings.

I had same issue and this is how I fixed it.
disable data connection and switch your phone off, remove the back cover and remove sim card completely. Then re-insert sim card and turn your phone back on and it should ask you to re-enable data connection once it boots up.
let me know if this helps

I did this, but it didn't ask me to turn it back on, so I turned it on manually, and still only E.

Other phones receive 3G? Perhaps T-Mobile is servicing your area? This has happened to me but I had no control over it.

Did you by any chance flash a rom port?

Weird. My issue was that I was testing a few of the skyrocket modems. After using Odin to get kl1 it worked again. Yeah i would sugeest resetting apn in wireless settings .

Here's what I did that messed with my 3G
I flashed skyrocket roms.
So what I did was wipe everything. Go to mounts and storage and format system. Then flash Juggernaut or any other rom you desire. Then you're done

Need confirmation from other people.

This is for stock phone users only.
This is about that roaming notification that always pops up once you roam.
Ever since I did the update, that notification has stopped coming up once I roam, can anyone else confirm that they might have fixed this little annoyance?

I posted about this in another thread but nobody seemed to notice.
I've been on LI3 for several days now and haven't seen the Data Roaming notification since the update. I have definitely roamed several times. Perhaps it is fixed.
Same here

[Q] Does any ROM have forced roam

I have bad reception in my office. Occasionally, my phone will roam and then I have clear calls and great reception. Is there any ROM that will allow me to force roam without having to connect my phone to a PC first? I do not have the option to write a prl every time I go into the office. Please anyone help me.

Sign into TMO network?

Has anyone else gotten this notification? It says "tap here to sign into T-Mobile network". I'm not doing any tethering or anything. It seems to pop up randomly. Taping it just opens the browser. That's it. I'm ok AOKP btw

I've only ever seen that when I was on straight talk before I put in my APN info. Check your APN settings?

how'd you mess up a screenshot so bad?

searched play store for "draw on pic" first one that came up. served it's purpose I guess but man that app blows
Ahah, I get that when I'm on an AOSP ROM, not sure what causes it.
I've gotten that, and I'm on rooted stock.

I get that sometimes - rarely, usually when I'm out in more rural areas.
I ignore it - everything seems to work fine when that's up there..
lte?
The network around my home is still 4g. The city I work in has began the lte roll out. I have noticed that I only see the sign in message when I am in an lte area. When I clickj on the notification, my browser opens and the notification disappears.

Same. I get this every few days on CM 10.2. It appears as a wifi notification, but I've got network notification and scanning turned off. I've got LTE disabled too.
Yeah it doesn't seem to harm anything or make anything worse, just strange and annoying.

I get it too occasionally on SlimBean.
