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?

Hey guys, I've been gone from here for awhile, but when I first go my et4g I rooted it and put AE mod 4.0. Now I can't install the update which I figured might happen, and I would like to be able to update to fix the LOS and still have root. What is the easiest way to do this? I'm not too concerned with keeping AE mod if that is a problem, but I do need to be able to tether, so I do need root.
Just flash the already rooted update in the dev section.

So after that flash is it updated or will I have to receive the update still?
EDIT: Feel real noobish right now but which Kernel is it? The way they have the things listed is kind of tough if you aren't sure exactly what you are looking for. I also just read a thread about different modems. Do I need to choose a new modem file as well?
The latest update is el13.. Look in the dev section, there week be a stock rooted el13 rom and some custom el13 roms. there is also the el13 modem and a modem. All flashable.
You won't get the prompt to update any more.

Thanks for the help, got it flashed hopefully this will be better. Have you noticed if the modem change improved service on your phone? I have XM on my phone and to be honest, I lose the signal so often on my work drive that it really drives me nuts. And at work when I tether my speeds are not nearly as good as they were on ATT. Kinda hoping this helps with some of those things. Any reason to think it would or wouldn't?
once again thank

Try updating profile/prl in system updates and reboot. If that doesn't fix it contact sprint and have them attempt to push it through reactivation.
But no, simply rooting the device will not solve the problem you're explaining. If the above steps don't work, just swap it out?? Clearly its not a widespread issue and likely has something to do with its activation.

Assuming you or he already updated the profile and PRL correctly and talked with Sprint (while on the phone to assure it is registered correctly!) I'd recommend using sfhub's stock root [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101] This provides a clean start with el29 modem, kernal and stock ROM, and provides root access. Since he's having problems I'd do a FULL restore (reset user data). I'd then use Auto Root with CWM - option C [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728]. That will give you a stock rooted phone with CWM for recovery and additions. Make sure all works. That may be enough. It could be just horrible reception at his place. Might want to check out an Airave device. There are also posts on how to tweak 3g/4g speeds [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265990] Then if all is working maybe think about another ROM. I'm loving Blazer. Calkulin's and Strong Steve's are also super. Good luck.

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.

check your apn settings
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.
Thanks

listen guys last night i really thought i had bricked my friends phone bc i made the noobiest mistake of my life and felt so confident in my rooting abilities i didnt even question not making a nandroid.....
once again my fellow xda brethren have been here to save my life and phone! thanks so much guys! worked like a FREAKIN CHARM and i never breathed easier!
one thing i just want to add tho is information like that is not readily available...we should add it to the sticky or make it just a little more obvious. i searched and searched and searched and found nothing but some old ass threads that didnt really apply
you have my permission to continue to ROCK ON!
Hello, idk if I'm posting in the right area so please forgive me for any mistakes i made but i have two questions if anyone would kindly answer for me. I recently installed P.A.C Man Rom and for the most part i love it, the only problem i seem to get is the battery life drains pretty quickly & the phone gets a little warm when the screen is on. I don't know if that's normal but I'm wondering if i underclock it would that possibly fix my two problems I'm having and if so could anyone recommend what i should set it to and which is the best governor to use.
Thank You in advance for your guy's help with my newbie questions lol
You could try another kernal but it won't help cause we don't know what exactly your battery is.
I suggest going on Google and type, "Betterbatterystats xda" on Google and download the latest version. It's an app that tells you about your battery usage in depth so you will see what exactly is killing your battery.
Did you just flash the rom? If you did, wait a few days for everything to settle down. Battery should get better as a day or two progress.
I suggest taking a look at these threads. Plenty of great advice and tips for you to read.

Aldo check your baseband. If you are currently on MD5, try using the LJC modem. A few people have reported similar things when using this baseband with CM/AOSP based roms.

You do have a playstore right? If I'm not mistaken you need to flash gapps after pacman to get the playstore.
