Use Open Signal app from Play Store. It shows you the nearest tower you are connected to and ALOT more. Great app.

Network is not required to use GPS. It is just one of your app using GPS to determine ur position such as weather app, map etc

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??

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

Are you running stock? Any mods?
Check the imei number, make sure its not zero.
Also, where did you get the phone?
When did you upgrade your plan? Maybe its an account issue and you either need to wait a while or call the carrier and reset the account.

Works for me every time.
How could this happen!! My phone is a T-Mobile T999 unlocked and working on Jordanian Orange. According to orange they will begin providing 4g in 2015 yet in status bar I see that am connected to 4g. Could the T-Mobile build be exaggerating figures ??

Mine always shows 4g...Although truly I am not always connected to 4g.
Just run a speed test and you will see.

Most phones would show H or H+. The T999 was coded to show 4G instead, in keeping with their ad campaign.
If you go into settings, about device, status, under network type itll say UMTS at idle and probably HSPAP when under load.

If you go to the dialer codes thread, go in data, you can change network type to lte only, its a pain but only way I know of right now, but it won't force it to stay connected like you are thinking

Hell yeah thanks a mill man I'm going to give this a try later..
