Running CM7.2 and when roaming I am no longer able to connect to make calls. I get a weird recording telling me the number I'm trying to call is not in service. Anyone have a clue where to go from here?
thanks in advance,

Go into setting>mobile networks and make sure the only one checked would be the first one.. And the CDMA should be on automatic..

No success as of yet. I flashed a sense based rom and with all the same options for networks and set everything to the best of my abilities and still no change. Six bands of signal strength in roam mode. I have 3g showing, great fast web access and still no phone in roaming. I get the same recorded message I stated in OP.
I'm baffled. Should I try a nandroid restore of the phone rooted, but with the stock rom and then flash back to the rom I'm running now?
Help is much appreciated at the moment.

What radio version are you using.
Sent from my X10 using xda app-developers app
Two questions. First, can you RECEIVE calls when roaming, and second, when roaming, do you dial the area code when you try to make a call (I know it sounds like a dumb question, but......)?
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

Your first question is a puzzler. I really don't know if I can receive for certain. I must try that.
Yes, on the area code question.
Thanks for asking.

Can't think of much else. I'd try and flash back to a Sense ROM and update your profile and PRL (since you can't do this from CyanogenMod or any other AOSP ROM). Might be something that can be fixed in QPST (also something you can only access from a Sense ROM, from your phone dialer) but I have never messed with those settings. Hopefully somebody else will chime in. Need to see if you can receive incoming calls while roaming, though. Also appears that you don't have the newest radio, but the one you have isn't all that old so I doubt that's the issue.

Is the radio used for data as well? Because I'm getting great throughput on the internet when I'm roaming. Unfortunately my knowledge isn't extensive enough to know. I'm an infant at this at the present time. I don't know how deeply I wish to go.....I'm just having fun learning new stuff.
I appreciate your thoughts on this tho'. Who knows, maybe I've stumbled upon some strange bug.

Not quite sure about your radio question. I'm hoping somebody more knowledgeable will come along and have a better answer to your question. Did you ever figure out if you can receive calls while roaming?

Haven't checked the in-coming call as yet, just too much on my plate at the moment.
What I meant by the radio question is this: If I am getting great internet/web performance in a roaming area, it tells me data is getting through. Can I safely assume that the telephone function uses the same data stream to perform calls? The reason I ask is because if they are, then there must be some switch/command/whatever that is in the wrong state and must be flipped back to where it belongs. Of course, I'm sure I'm over simpIifying because I'm not well versed enough in the language and functions. Is that clearer?
Thanks again for your help.:good:
No, calls and sms are transferred over native 1X, internet access is 3G

I just flashed Cyanogen RC2 and I am not able to get 3g. Where the 3g should be there is only a "1x". The data works but is incredibly slow, I asked a friend and he said that I might need to flash the new radio. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks a bunch
What is your current radio?? When you flashed CM it comes with current one..

This was happening to me to, on every rom. The other phone on my account was faster to...odd. So I called Sprint and they "refreshed my data services". Flawless now. Now its says 3g instead of 1x. Stoked

is there any risk involved in this? eg. can they tell I'm rooted/running a custom rom? sorry I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff.
Also when I go to wireless settings there is no option for mobile data

Well don't mention it to them make sure you have a rom that has the option to update your prl, and profile. Because they'll want you to do it. Fare warning, they'll want you to update the firmware. I just went with it, but it didn't go through. It said "there is no system update". So it all worked out.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
This has been happening to me, too. I tried different radios, prl, etc.. with no changes. I even went back to a rooted 3.26 rom and let the phone update the firmware and everything it wanted to with no change in signal. The Sprint tech said everything looked fine on his end after having me update profile, prl, check for software and firmware upgrades. I can't remember what he called it but basically he reactivated my phone as a last step.
CM and mobile signal widget show 1x and when I go to ##debug# (on sense) and check EVDO engineering every field shows <failed>
When I get time I am going to go to Best Buy and hope their insurance works well.
That's weird because when I go to another rom like fresh my 3g works fine its just on cyanogen that my phone has this hiccup

I also updated to nighties 129 which should have fixed the apn problem but im still having the same problem im running CM 7.1 Latest build on G2. SIMPLE MOBILE.

i also check the APN i got two simple/t mobile. simple mobile one works fine for web and stuff but when it comes to MMS its not working please help me
thank you.
Would it hurt to call your provider and make sure everything is provisioned on their side?
Never understood why people here don't bother with that. Not like you have to tell em you're rooted or using custom roms. Just make sure its not on their end first so to avoid waisting a bunch of time on something they need to fix...ya know?

Can you give us some info? Is your device stock? Is it rooted? What Android version are you running and are you on a custom rom? If you can, post a picture of your About Phone page so we can see versions and firmwares please
With those questions answered we can take a look and see why you're not receiving your calls. There are a few reasons this could be happening, ranging from data toggles to APN settings. Without knowing what I'm working with, I can only speculate. When noticing these missed calls are you on a particular data network? 4G LTE through AT&T will momentarily disconnect and run on 3g while a call is implemented, then return to LTE 2-3 seconds after the call has ended. Maybe you have an option to prefer LTE and it's not disconnecting the data to allow the call? This may only occur on a custom rom though. Check your APN settings under APN type and make sure things like default,supl,mms are there.
If you're on a stock rom with stock recovery, you may want to consider backing up your data and performing a factory reset. This may not help at all though.
If you know what you're doing, and have root on a custom rom, then chances are you know how to flash a new radio (modem) and may want to research ones available to you and try flashing one of those. (NOTE: Be sure you know what you're doing before flashing anything, and remember to flash a radio (modem) twice for good measure. - MAKE SURE the modem is compatible with your phone model and your rom.
Mine does this every now and then. I assumed it is a network thing, but it may not be.

That is when it happened the first time for me also...and for a few days got 2 different stories. It started up again yesterday, I thought that I would post on here about it. I have come to a pretty safe conclusion that people on here know more about these phones than the people at Sprint. And I am thinking it is a network issue again...it has been ringing like it should this afternoon.
Area code 336? That's in NC, and where I live. Seven of my coworkers have switched from Sprint due to issues with the network. It is a local issue here though, and in Sprint's defense, they are trying hard to fix the issues. (I'm not knocking anyone or any carrier
If we are sure this is a network issue, it may be best to contact Sprint and ask if they have had others complaining about the same problem.

Hey guys this is actually my first post and I am still somewhat of a noob when it comes to rooting the android system. I recently rooted my GS3 on AT&t and I'm sorry if this has already been posted about, but I need some help. Every ROM I have tried which includes paranoid android, CM, and a handful of others I can't remember the names of off hand all have the same issue. Whenever I go from basic 4G to 4G LTE I loose my data connection. When I go back to basic 4G I have to restart my data connection to reconnect. The ONLY ROM I have found that doesn't have this issue is the Synergy Touchwiz.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks again for any help and again I'm sorry if this has already been posted about.

OK so I just checked my APNs and just ATT was checked. I switched it to ATT LTE. We'll see if that works and if not I will check again.

Hi everyone, I'm back with more questions. But first let me give a huge thanks to all that have helped me with other things. You guys helped me go from some who was terrified of the though of rooting and flashing to someone who not only rooted but has tried a few different Roms. That's huge for me as I am not a technically minded person. Thanks everyone! I hope I can help someone someday as much as in have been helped here.
Now for my question.
Since I have flashes my first custom ROM I have been getting horrible data speeds on 3g and 4g. I'm talking it takes me back to the AOL dial up days kind of slow.
I figured that I needed to update my prl/profile so I asked how to, and i did that. But no change in data speeds.
So here I am scratching my head as what to do next. Any suggestions?

We need more info. What ROM are you currently on? Have you tried updating the APN file? If you flash the latest Carbon you will have the best speeds available for AOSP based ROMs. If you flash nexOgen or Optimus you will be on Stock based Roms that have slightly better data speeds. Or you LGNPST back to the orginal factory set up and see if that makes a difference.
Lol I forgot to include the info.
I'm running the latest carbon nightly 4.3
Honestly I haven't a clue what a apn file is so I don't believe I have updated it. How would I go about doing that?
