I'm going to say that something is still messed up on Sprint's end. I've had it happen before when switching multiple devices. I would call them again. But before you do that, I would suggest doing ##72786# again.

so i called sprint and they told me the data was shut off on their end. why didnt they mention that the first time i called and spent an hour tryin to fix it.

prl 00001 and sprint airwave

I just recently recieved my airwave and noticed that if im running on prl 00001 the bars are constantly jumping from full to two and sometimes none. Even if I have full bars the data still runs slow. If I update my prl it goes into full bars and data runs properly but prl 00001 gets me better service with no dropped calls while on the go. What shoukd I do?
You have have full bars but you can be on 1x
Most custom roms tell you if your on 3g or 1x
Also you can use the speed test app and it'll tell you on what you are on
And I'm not to sure on this but I don't think air wave does data

If you are on 00001, you likely are not connecting to the airave since that is looked at as a Sprint tower.
My cousin has an airave, and it seems to do data as well.

I dialed *99 and it said I am connected to it but the voice was very choppy you coukd hardly hear but I do get service throughout the house now just twwo to three bars not full bars like I would get if I was on a regular prl

So what tower does prl 00001 connect to if it reads airwave as a sprint tower? And does this mean any manual uodated prl wont connect to airwave?

I just got 2 GS3's & have a GS2, my GS3 is on PRL 25009, the GS3's never link to my Airave & the GS2 will every once & a while, are you saying they can correct this issue on their side?

Yes. And no. My phone still bounces. But. If I unplug the airwave then plug it back in. Then it usually will work. But. Today nothing is working so back to calling sprint I go.

Same thing has been happening to me. I'm in the upper Manhattan area and getting really poor 4g in my apt, like 1 or 2 bars, and dropping to 2g. I started noticing it yesterday. I'm calling T-Mobile tomorrow to see what's up.

Sounds to me like they may be doing maintenance or upgrades.

HELP, no connection after flight from NC to TX

Hey all,
I could really use some advice. I live in North Carolina, my phone has worked just fine for over a year. Monday I went on a business trip to Dallas Texas and my phone won't connect to Voice or Data services at all. What can I do?
I tried turning airplane mode on and off, removing the battery, chatted with Sprint online, called the Support number. Sprint is NO help at all. They didn't outright tell me that my phone was broken, but practically did. I guess it just magically broke on the plane to Dallas??
Even in areas with good coverage, like my bars show good connection, I can't connect. I can hook to wifi just fine, but that is it. Sprint support told me that they can't even see where my phone has connected at all since I arrived in Texas.
Should I try flashing one of those PRLs from another thread? I'm not sure what to do. I assume that as is my phone will start working again when I get back to North Carolina though. I tried reflashing a "stock" rom and some of those "#" number calls, but none of them work since my phone isn't connected to any towers. Help!
Did u by chance try ##72786#? That's the hands free activation. Will turn ur phone off and should boot back up after a few seconds

That is what is so strange, I can dial that number, even from a stock rom, and my phone doesn't do anything, it just sits on "dialing" then makes the hang up noise after 15 or so seconds.
That's definitely weird! I'm from this area so I know it's not the water...lol. Have u taken to an actual sprint store?

Not yet, since I'm here on business I don't have much time to do that, but honestly I don't think they would be able to do much more than the support person over the phone did. I'd have to unroot it and all of that before bringing it in, the folks in the store would try those ## type calls, wipe my phone and reset it, then probably tell me my phone is broken and try to sell me another phone, especially since I am eligible for an upgrade.
I don't want to actually buy a new phone until I get back to NC since I still think my phone will start working once I am back there, which would be just as confusing.
This is the same phone I brought here to Texas last October and it worked fine, so I don't know what exactly the issue could be.

If you are still having this issue I would suggest you try an app called Network Signal Refresher. It basicly updates your prl and profile by connecting you to the nearest tower

Thanks, I gave this a try, but it doesn't look like it worked. Part of the issueI think even for PRL updates is that my phone won't connect to the towers. Like with a Stock Rom in the Sprint Zone you can get to that section where you can do a Profile update and all of that, it always fails with a connection error. I gave that error message to Sprint support but they couldn't do anything with it. I will keep trying it though now and then.

Is there a good updated guide for doing that? I did that on my EVO 4G, but never on the S3. I haven't looked yet but I will check into it this evening for sure.
They could be working on the towers in the area. When they did in my area, it showed I had bars but could not text or call. I would try flashing the 2 PRL, as it helped me get my phone working until they fixed it or in your case until you get Home. I can upload it if you need it.

[Q] Boost Native S3 - flash to Pageplus - help...

Hello to all.
I attempted to flash a Boost mobile native galaxy s3 running 4.1.2 to Pageplus last night. Got voice and text working fine, however, cannot get data up and running, even 1x.
Loaded Pageplus Prl, and tried to *228 to no avail. Also tried manually change the settings in the paid version of cdmaws, under the 'evdo' section.
The S3 thread was closed, so I thought I would post here, and see if anyone could point me in the right direction? If this is the wrong section, please advise, and I will be happy to post there.
I also read that there is a way to obtain 3g without using a donor, and I thought it may be similiar to sprint to boost flashing using wifi, but that did not work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Be well.
Anyone???

the reason nobody is really willing to help is because its a drawn out process ive been flashing phones to pageplus and verizon for years and what happens is after its flashed if you dont pay your bill in a timely manner your data will stop working. and guess what the LAST PERSON TO WORK ON IT IS now MaRrIed to that dam phone meaning that all subsequent issues get blamed on the last person that touched it. i wont even do it for free anymore due to [a holes] acting/feeling entitled

I tried flashing my daughter's S2 (sprint native) to straight talk, as I forgot to check the esn prior to buying a network access card. And wouldn't you know, it was a bad esn with sprint.
So, if anyone can help me out today, or tonight. Please let me know.
