network issue and questions regarding update profile - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

So my wife began having issues with her s3 about a week ago. Couldn't receive our place calls but data worked correctly. My phone hasn't had this issue but I'm rooted running old radios. So we call Sprint and they run us through the usual, update profile, factory reset and eventually we have a phone that seems to work. That only lasted a few days though. Spent said I'd it becomes an issue we should consider reps aching the phone so we go to best buy to replace it through insurance. New phone comes in and best buy cannot get the phone to work. Same issue, data works, no voice/text. Before the new phone I was 80% sure it was network related. Reason being when her phone was having this issue I couldn't even reach her voicemail when I called her phone, it would only give a busy signal. Now that a second phone has the same issue I'm definitely convinced but Sprint insists we take it to a repair center to have them check it out. I decide I want to test my theory and put a touch wiz Rom on my phone, upgrade to md4 radios, update profile, bam, no voice/text, only data. Downgrade radios, update profile, everything works. So off to Sprint we go, about 20 miles north of us. We get to the store and of course they are going to want to update the profile. I test the phone while we are up there and it doesn't work. As soon as I update the profile it works. Does the phone pull the profile data directly from the tower? It's really just curiosity at this point as to what might actually be wrong since my wife's phone is fixed, until the system tries to update the profile while we are home. My thinking was that if the profile data is stored directly at the tower that maybe out tower is corrupted in some way. Sprint reps tells us it is simply die to tower upgrades but it's not an issue of coverage, we have bars and data. The busy signal when trying to call the phone makes me feel like it is a much different issue than they care to recognize.
Sorry for the wall of text but if anyone has a good idea what the root issue might be or who to contact at Sprint that will actually pay attention to what I'm telling them let me know.

You may want to try ##72786# in the Dial Pad. It will do the Hands Free Activation again. The Device will Reboot once. Just let it do it's thing.

Did that a number of times. Same result, no voice but data works. So far updating the profile while on a different tower or downgrading the radios has been the only fix.

One thing that keeps coming back in my brain. Is that you had the same issue in two different devices. I would tend to say the issue is on Sprint's side of things. Did they check your account, to be sure there are no restrictions on it ?
TEAM MiK
MikROMs Since 3/13/11

They did and no restrictions. I'm going to try it again tonight but I'm fairly certain I can replicate the issue.
Step 1, flash to touch wiz
Step 2, update to md4, at this point everything will probably still work
Step 3 update profile. At this point I should lose voice/text service while retaining data if I'm correct. And again, if I get within range of a different tower and then update profile it will again work. After updating off a different tower service will continue to work at my house as well. Let the testing begin...

Roaming in Verizon Area not working

I was roaming yesterday in verizon area, I tried to make a call and got an automated message from Verizon that it could not authenticate my phone. I was shocked as I had pre before and never heard that message in my life. I'm running stock rooted 2.2 with 1.40PRI and latest PRL.
- Vadim
I am also rooted and recently did the PRI update to 1.40. I couldn't roam after the update (voice or data) and had to call Sprint. At first I got a regular Sprint rep and the problem was not fixed. But I called back and got to the technical support area and told them that I couldn't roam and was getting a message from Verizon about not being able to authenticate my phone. The tech did something in the Sprint system and then I was able to roam again. I didn't say anything about the PRI update, just the Verizon message about not being able to authenticate the phone.
I had the same issue last week. I call sprint and they had me update my PRL and profile, that didn't work. I called back and the customer service rep. connected me to a tech and he did some magic on his end and fixed it, be prepared to be on hold for a bit while they fix it (half hour or so total for the call). Hope that helps.
I had the same issue imeediately after upgrading my PRI. Just called Sprint from my landline, told 'em my PRI upgraded and that I was getting errors when roaming, and they just had me do a factory reset after the tech support guy did some magic on his end.
Took five minutes, all in all.
Mine did the same thing when I upgraded my pri. All I did was pull the battery and leave it out for about 2 minutes and then turn it back on. According to sprint, pulling the battery actually causes the radio to disconnect from the network and when you turn it back on, it gets reauthenticated.

That sounds like a bunch of bull**** that a level 1 rep made up. I'll give them a call I guess and see if they can fix it, unfortantly I cannot test it out easly because I got good sprint coverage here.
Yeah, I agree that it sounds like BS but it worked. I did get a level 1 tech who also told me that all tech support can really do on their end is to refresh your data profile and I made mention that I had seen on xda that people were having the same issue with roaming that I was having and that tech support told them that they could tweak some settings and then the user would need to pull the battery and leave it out for a few minutes. So that's when she told me all she had options for was to refresh the data profile and then I pulled the battery and waited 2 minutes, put it back in and could subsequently make phone calls while roaming. Sure, sounds like BS but whatever happened behind the scenes worked for me and for everyone else that I've seen in other threads regarding the pri update breaking roaming.

Just got off the phone with Sprint for the same issue, and the only thing they did was have me update my PRL (again). He never suggested a hard reset or anything like that. Anyone have any suggestions on keywords I can use to have them do the "magic" on their end? I'm still on PRI 1.34, PRL 60670.

Your problem isn't the same, as we're all on PRI 1.40, not 1.34. Call back, tell them that didn't work, that data isn't working while roaming, and you get the "could not authorize your device" message from Verizon.

EVO technical support, not the monkies they put in suits and strap headsets to.
I reached advanced tech support and they said there is nothing they can do except re provisioning...
Try that, but I call B.S. on 'em. I had my problem fixed in under five minutes. Just told them exactly, "I upgraded my EVO's PRI, not PRL to 1.40, and now I'm getting a message from Verizon whenever I roam, that they can't authoize my device. Works fine on Sprint, but when I'm roaming, data doesn't connect, and I get that message from VZW whenever I try to make a call."

Hope you realize you just told them you rooted your phone since no Sprint customer should have the 1.34 PRI under any legitimate circumstance.
when i bought my phone, (june 4th) it had 1.34

Not true. Some had 1.34, and I'm fairly sure the Google I/O phones had 1.34. Besides, they're too stupid to realize what it means that you had 1.34.

LOL okay. Just repeating what I've read more than once in the sacred dev forum from multiple "geniuses" over there. (or is it genii? geniusi? geniusosis?... nevermind). This is something I'm happy to be wrong about if I am because it's good news for me.
Just called in because of the same problem, verizon could not authenticate my phone.
The rep had me take out the battery and she told me she had to "refresh" my phone. I felt like telling her I already reFRESHed it with Fresh 3.2...lol, but I didn't.
She said the towers get updated and new towers get put in every now and then so if you "roam" often, or if you know you're going out of area on vacation, etc. it's a good idea to call in and ask them to "refresh" your phone.
Took less than 5 minutes...everything's working great.
They did not tell you that they "can't guarantee coverage" or any bull like that?

[Q] 1 of 2 Evos no longer gets service around home and Sprint hasn't fixed issue

So this is my first thread. I did search for an answer, but couldn't find a similar issue/solution, so any help would be very much appreciated (even if it is to point me to a thread I missed). Here is my problem:
My wife and I both have Evos. We have had my wife's Evo for about 1 yr and it is and has always worked great. We got my Evo about 4 months ago and it worked fine.
On July 11, my Evo stopped being able to connect to either phone or network service (other than randomly about 5 mins every 2-3 hours) when I am at home. It still works everywhere else. My Evo showed 3-5 bars, but when I, for example, tried to make a call, the bars would drop to 0 and then go back up and I'd get a message that the phone couldn't connect.
I took the EVO into the local Sprint service center twice, left it for several hours so that they could run a full diagnostic, and was told it was fine. It does work fine other than about the 1 mile around my house. For instance, when I leave for work in the mornings, I cannot place a call or get network service at my house or as a start driving away. Once I get about 1 mile from the house, the 3G light comes on, I get phone service, and any backed up emails and or VMs show up. Again, my wife's is still working fine at our house.
I called Sprint and was told they were replacing two towers in our area. I waiting until August 4 when the tower replacement was officially complete - still no service on my Evo - wife's just fine this entire time.
Sprint customer service then told me it must be my phone and sent a replacement. Once I got the replacement, I called in on my wife's Evo from my kitchen table to activate the replacement. No luck - same problem as my "old" Evo. No network or phone service. After an hour of the technician trying to diagnose/fix the issue, they said it must be the phone and they would send me another replacement.
Before I mess with another hour on the phone with customer service trying to get the new replacement to work, I thought I'd check in to see if anyone here had any ideas. Bottom line - my phone had no problems connecting to the network until 7/11, it still works everywhere except my house and ~1mile radius around my house (middle of Dallas), and my wife's Evo has no issues at our house or anywhere.
HELP!!!! This is so frustrating.
Thanks in advance.
Call sprint customer pretensions and explain the issue. They will be able to take care of the issue with either a new evo 4g or get u another phone. Just so u are aware. It is sprints policy not to replace your phone with another model unless they no longer carry it (which would be a good thing. 3d baby) or the phone as been replaced three times.

Not really anymore ....but
The evo, what has been done to the evolution as far as over the phone like msid change nail change, number change, ,,,,more detail and ur city please. May be able to help with issue
You may have tried this already but I didn't see it mentioned in the OP...
Have you tried updating the PRL and the Profile?
probe
True, also wat firmware and radio? What kinda of phone does the wife have?
We live in Dallas - zip 75229. Wife has an Evo. All of the firmware, PRL, Profile, etc that can be updated have been. Wife's Evo shows same versions of everything.
Dallas has had alot of problems or upgrades to towers in and around some areas but u should be able to connect. Call in and tell them to change maid and nai with ur device powered down and battery out. Then hang up with care. Leave the battery out for one min then power the device up and then do a ##786# this will erase all info on the ( skip all auto updates. Then let it do its thang and she how she goes this is a good step to get it working or just get a airrave

My nexus has a horrible signal and data

I was wondering if a different radio would work better? If anyone had any input please get back to me, because this is annoying
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
well, it depends on what radio you are on. We can't answer that for you. You would have to flash the radio to find out. Some have had luck with the latest radios, while others have not. Supposedly, there is a firmware update coming from Samsung on the 22nd to fix these issues. We'll see. Another way to fix your issues is to go to a Verizon store or call them and politely complain until you get them to send you a new one. If you are within your 14 day return period, just take it in and exchange it until you get one that works properly. Fortunately, I haven't had any problems with mine.
I was having absolutely horrible service as you are...call Sprint and tell them your calls are dropping, texts aren't going though and nothing works and they'll walk you through how to reset it...I did that today after wasting 3 hours at the Sprint store only to be told "there was a network /tower problem", which there wasn't...called Sprint, talked to one of the techs & he straightened everything out.
So, the update that Samsung is going to roll out, it will work on a rooted phone? Yes, I've read that the new radio is working for some people. Thanks for the reply

They MUST think I'm stupid...

Sooooo...here's the deal:
I'm in the Houston area. There is a constant LTE signal here, that I rely on for my tablet and my pc (paying overages doesn't matter). However, after every phone call, I lose LTE, and just the 4G signal is there, but its slower than 3G. After a reboot, the LTE comes back and my speeds are restored...
I tried chatting with an ATT rep, they of course tried to blame it on "spotty coverage and tower malfunction in your area". Yeah, sure. She said the reboot is re-registering my phone and picking up a new tower. After questioning this, she then put the blame on a rogue application. After that, she then started saying that if I travel I might not have the same signal. After telling her that this happens anywhere, even when I'm at home, she said started explaining the data that I've used this month, and that I have data left to use.
EDIT: She asked me to factory reset, and give it a try. I reset my phone, went through setup, and placed a call. After the call, no internet. I rebooted, LTE service came up. When I told her what happened after she specifically requested I perform those actions, she then told me that a factory reset phone may not work for up to 15 minutes. I'm officially done.
How about you guys? Anything remotely useful to add since apparently this isn't a common issue?
Swap your device?

Call att. Go through their spiel. Then get mad cause they can't help you. Threaten to cancel your service. They well either cave immediately or transfer you to the dept that will give you what you want, which is a replacement phone. Btw, its called the customer retention department (for a reason).

that's what she ended up suggesting, so I'm going to the store tomorrow since I'm sure that because she suggested it, it might be one of the generic answers the customer service reps are going to give me elsewhere...if that's not working, then its probably a malfunction of the device...
thank you for the suggestions, i'm going to try changing sims first and if that doesn't work then i'll have to follow ur suggestions

it could just be a corrupted radio on his phone, i wonder if he just needs to change radios or odin the phone back to 100% stock
I knew it was normal because my other phone (GNex) does that as well...but LTE never comes back on my SGS3. I went back to stock a long time ago because although I hate the TouchWiz interface, i use the 'motions' ALOT (especially the direct call from messaging and the swipe to message/call), and even after going back to stock AND doing a factory reset it wouldn't work. Of course, I'm sure that as soon as I get into the store tomorrow its going to work like its supposed to, as always, but even though it doesn't seem like a huge deal because our phones boot up quickly, its still an inconvenience to have to reboot the phone after every phone call just to get my LTE back

What he said... At&t doesn't offer voice over LTE or VoLTE yet. It will also wait until any open data sessions have stopped before bumping back up to LTE.
PS... Don't be a **** to customer service because they can't get 30,000 people smarter than you. We all know that would be impossible.

I like that you fell for the factory reset; it really pisses me off when they tell me to do that. If it work yesterday and the day before and suddenly it doesn't work then guess what is not going to fix it, that's right, a factory reset. I know there are a lot of legitimate reasons to factory reset but they throw that out like it's nothing, as if I didn't just spend 10 hours setting up the phone just the way I wanted it. If the software is so easily corrupted then just give me my money back and I will go down the road.
That said I believe this phone is a wonderful machine but if you have a factory producing hundreds of units every hour they are bound to eventually have a defect. But every person who purchased in atrix 2 should have been given a refund and an apology.

What was so bad about the Atrix2?
This sounds like Samsung fault, hardly at&t.
It had issues addressing the SD card . It would often lose applications that you had installed, you also would not be able to access your music, pics, or videos on the SD card at random times. Everybody and their brother had a different solution for it. The biggest consensus is that it was class 6 and above causing the problem. But if that is true then motorola should have done their own beta testing and reported that. All in all the phone was a nightmare and there are forums filled to its failure. I purchase the atrix HD and it did the exact same thing.

Hmmm. Sometimes, what fixes it for me is to just reboot the phone.
Otherwise, sounds like something didn't flash over correctly. I always try and make sure that when flashing, I check the log and see that its successful / complete. If not, you'll end up with issues.
One issue I had was my phone number wasn't showing up when going to About Phone Status in Settings. It only showed the last four numbers. Reflashing worked fine for me.
And other thing. Did you follow the instructions about going the web on the gusto 2 first? I had to actually pick a website and try to open it.
Good luck!

You need to call verizon tell them your phone is not receiving text, and no data. Have them to reauthenicate the account and maybe you will get data then...... The problem with flashing to Verizon Prepaid is one wrong move and account gets locked out.........

You didn't write something correctly or missed a step. dial *228 on your phone. It may not let you dial the one or the two so just hang out and it will program your phone for you also then write the 53000 prl. I promise that if you follow the video exactly you will get 3g data unless you live somewhere that doesn't have 3g data.
I also want to touch on vipers comment about getting locked out of service. I'm constantly saying this but I'll say it again. I've been on verizon prepaid myself for over a year now. I'm currently on the 35 dollar plan. I haven't had any problems with them at all. I've also flashed several of my friends phones to VP and they haven't had any problems except for one guy every time he gets drunk the next day I have to rewrite his aaa and ha password (still can't figure that out) but no one has lost their account.
What do I think is happening to these accounts? Nothing I believe these individuals are people/businesses who get paid to flash phones and don't want the secrets out there and this is probably killing there business. People get concerned by problems and start to wonder about that. For instance a few years ago I was working for this small cell phone flashing company and flashing to boost started to kick off. Well we didn't have everything set up like this other company did so when someone came in we had this rumor going on that this guy who had his cell phone since they first came out, lost his number because boost found out and then he went to their shop and threw brick through their window.
Saying somthing like that to a customer we already had wasn't really targeted to him\her. But to any friends of theirs that questioned them about their service believe it or not but people like to talk. Especially about bricks being thrown through windows. I didn't stay long with that company but it's an example.

Wow, was that really necessary? Sounds to me like you totally dished on me and my comment, then judged me as one of these bad cellphone business owners as you called them. I hope i took this the wrong way as it is definatley not true. I would suggest you look at some of my posts how I help others all the time if this is the case. I flash many phones, to all carriers including Verizon Prepaid, and I know for a fact that sometimes your account needs reauthenicated. No different from Page Plus resetting the esn......... No scare tactics here, I dont need to write passwords even to verizon prepaid, I can pull them ota with no problem......

Wow, was that really necessary? Sounds to me like you totally dished on me and my comment, then judged me as one of these bad cellphone business owners as you called them. I hope i took this the wrong way as it is definatley not true. I would suggest you look at some of my posts how I help others all the time if this is the case. I flash many phones, to all carriers including Verizon Prepaid, and I know for a fact that sometimes your account needs reauthenicated. No different from Page Plus resetting the esn......... No scare tactics here, I dont need to write passwords even to verizon prepaid, I can pull them ota with no problem......

I was I've through all of your posts (takes about ten minutes) and your xda repoire at first is to just ask a bunch of questions and then you started to sell yourself as a cell phone flasher. Then you found out how to pull aaa keys and refused to tell anyone and blamed it on cdma workshop not being free. You can still show the process and I'm calling you out on that and the fact your trying to scare people into not going to verizon prepaid. You may fool some people but you don't fool me.
Hmm.. I must have misunderstood the *228 thing in the video. But anyways. Now that I did *228 thing, I'm stuck with the roaming indicator. Does that matter? I plan on flashing another rom and hope it changes it. Also, how does doing *228 affect the phone? It was working fine earlier and I even clocked 3G speeds at 2.7mbps.
Thanks

You can call me out all you want, I have done several phones while members watched and seen the keys pulled in. I have not tried in no way to scare people from verizon prepaid. I flash to them myself, but you are dead wrong if you do not think that a account will need to be reathenicated sometimes. I have nothing to prove to you but only offered a suggestion to the guy having issues (now my comment was seen that way by you, I have no idea) . Anyways good luck to you in your venture as I am way above arguing this with you. No one is fooling anyone here but you..... I don't need to sell myself, proof is in the pudding bro.......

I know your gonna read this because curiousity will bring you back to see my rebuttal. It's how life works. I'm not saying that you can't pull the aaa keys what I'm saying is that you refuse to share the knowledge of how to do it. You made a thread to talk about it but really I believe that you made that thread to make a profit. There is free software to record your screen and there is also hacked software for camtasia there is no excuse not to share especially on xda.
You probably won't respond because you don't want to share this info and pretending like you didn't see this post is probably better than trying to come up with an excuse because there isn't one.
I reflashed the phone again slowly making sure I follow each step of the video and also did the *228 on the phone. After I disable Wifi, I still get "No network connection. No Signal found for mobile networks."
At first I had the LG2 modem and it keep on prompting for a sim card, so I updated it to LJ7. Still no 3G and I keep on getting the roaming message.
I do noticed however when I got to Settings, About device, Status:
Network = Sprint (shouldn't this be Verizon?)
Mobile network type: 1xRTT:6 (CDMA)
User name = [email protected] (shouldn't this be something like my telephone # @vzw.com?)
Mobile network state = disconnected (???)
IMEI =Old one from Sprint (shouldn't this be my Verizon Gusto 2 IMEI?)
Thanks guys for all your help.
I flashed the MOAR rom and kept LG2 modem. Did you download and flash rhe correft PRL? I also went out for a drive to make ure 3G would appear. I would recommend you do the same and see if it helps.

OK, let me try to use the MOAR rom instead. The LG2 modem keeps on asking for a sim card. Sprint is CDMA, so hence no sim card.
I'm using the LJ7_STOCK_WITH_COUNT_RESET16 rom and the pageplus_sprint_phones_only_no_roaming_indicator_53000.prl

Hmmm.. I never had a problem with the Sim request. From my understanding, you probably still have the Mobile Network set to LTE. That should be the only reason why it's looking for a Sim Card.
I also noticed a different PRL after activating on Verizon.
Good Luck!

Are you sure need to be on LG2? Everytime I flash that modem I get that symbol on the left (sim i think) and no data connection. Shouldn't LJ7 modem work?
