Connecting my phone number back to the Sprint Network? - Sprint LG Optimus G

I can't connect to the the sprint network anymore. Everything else on my phone works. I can still surf the web (on WiFi), but I can't connect via 3G connection. I can't send text or make calls.
I've already called Sprint customer service, but they won't fix the problem because my phone is rooted. Is there anything that I can do to correct this issue?

Try updating your PRL and Profile

I've already tried that. I don't think that my phone is even connected to the network. Thanks for responding.

Does that error out? Keep trying it... Sometime mine will fail 15 times, and then ill try it 20 mins later, and it'll work after 1 try.
Also, did you make an efs backup?

Lots of posts with people on different ROMs having same problem. It is probably a Sprint network error. Try updating PRL and Profile and try again. Make sure you are getting 3G or 4G at the time.
Definitely have network 3g/4g showing will try the prl and profile. Thanks

Prl and profile take forever and don't do anything when trying to update.

Can you get on the internet with 3G or 4G? Sounds like the net is down in your area.
Yes every data using App Internet, Pandora, xda, email, rss work

Still sounds like some network issue if the prl or profile update won't go through. Did prl and profile update work before?
Before flashing this rom and modem they were able to check and update if needed

I had this problem yesterday. All of a sudden I lost 3G and it kept dropping in and out. I couldn't update profile or prl. Then it started working again in the evening. Perhaps it will clear up tonight or tomorrow. I will look around and see if anyone else has found a fix or it just cleared up by itself.
Thanks for the help, it's appreciated. I don't have access to Internet in home, so I use my phone and its hard to search through a lot of posts

No problem. Found a few people still having mms problems off and on. It would work for a day, not work, then work, then someone had it out again yesterday. Definitely looks like Sprint. Keep trying to load the errored pix and see if they start to come through.

Texting a pic while talking on the phone?

I just tried to send my buddy a pic while talking to him, and it wouldn't send until we hung up. Plain text went through just fine. Anyone else have this issue?

I think most phones tend to disable the use of your mobile internet during a call, my S3 does. It's not a fault. It's just that pictures need to be uploaded before they can be received.
Thanks, I would have sworn I have done it before.

With AT&T you should still be able to use your mobile data while on a call. Verizon and sprint did not allow it (CDMA limitation) LTE is supposed to fix that issue for verizon and sprint though I believe. I'll see if I can try it on my ion sometime.
Works on At&t while in call. At&t has always allowed this.

Hmmm. Doesn't work for me for some reason. I plan on reflashing again this weekend, maybe that will fix it, and some other minor issues I have.

It could simply be a phone setting. on my i777 when I'm sending anything and then get or make a call I get a data error until I hang up I never bothered trying to work it out its not a problem I see often as i don't try to call and text

Really weird Data/Voice problem

My phone came up with two triangles with exclamation points on it in the notification bar. One said data access restricted and the other one said voice access restricted. My phone was fine and when I got out of the shower those notifications were there. So, after that my voice and data would not work. I rebooted and voice came back, but data is gone. I cant connect to 4g/3g or anything. My IMEI is there still. I didnt flash anything. Anyone have a clue what might be causing this?

Is your phone roaming maybe?

I'm not sure. I know under data it just said disconnected. It didn't say roaming. Btw I'm talking about using the phone info app to see status. My voice showed bars, but when I tried to make a call it said not registered on network. I rebooted and moved my phone to a good reception spot and data is working. So strange. Does this phone say when it roams?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
It should.
Also, go to settings, more settings, mobile networks and check data roaming. If it happens again it should definitely tell you.
Make sure your plan covers nationwide roaming so you dont accidentally get charged.

Can't send mms completely stock

I can't send any picture messages, I have a tmobile locked s3, not rooted or anything, please help. I've tried resetting the apn and everything, rebooting the phone etc.

Help!

Were you able to send mms before? Try sending while wifi is on and off.
It could be a network issue too. Does it say 4g in the status bar?
Call support to see if tgey have any problems on their end.
If not, you could backup all your data and factory reset. Other than that I'm not sure right off hand.

I have 4g, full bars, I tried with and without Wi-Fi, tried resetting the apn, even though I didn't mess with it in the first place. I don't get it.

Are you sending it with stock MMS app? And are you sure you can properly connect to the internet?

Yes everything is stock, I have data because I'm using 4g to use Facebook, web, and currently this xda app.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
This is a total shot in the dark, so try if you want to.
Power off
Remove battery
Remove SIM
Replace SIM and battery
Reboot
I know it sounds strange. But stranger things have worked!
I still think calling support and finally factory resetting is your best option.

I'll give that first part a shot, I really hope to avoid the second lol.

Well, it was worth a shot. Sorry I don't have a better idea right now.
Maybe Odin flash the stock firmware?

Too bad I didn't see this sooner!
I have had that problem on 3 different occasions....
The simplest and always the only fix was:
Called my provider (T-Mobile)
Asked them to remove me from the network, and re insert me (my phone, that is)
Removed the battery, waited 3-5 min
re-installed the battery, and booted.
sent a mms picture to myself, and Got it!
no real work on my end. It seems the re-insertion to the network is the "Fix" that makes it work.
This why Doc said to call his provider. They should've done this if he called.
On the online chat with tmobile.. if course they want to make me try the hundred things I already tried..

3 support transfers and they had to create a ticket for the guys upstairs, could take up to 3 days...Wtf.

I'd call back and tell them exactly what you read from bobo above. Tell em you looked up the problem online and saw several places that said the same thing. Ask for a supervisor if they still won't try.

It's all fixed after they put in the order. I was at work while it got fixed.
