I just put PA 4.0 beta 6 with mini gapps on my Sprint LG G2. I'm having a couple of issues that I can't seem to figure out. The main issue is that my notification bar for the most part says I am Digital Roaming. Very seldom it will say Sprint but not for long. When I click on the about phone option in the settings menu it says not roaming but under network it say digital roaming. My speeds have dropped from about 10 - 12mb down to about 2-3 in a LTE area. I have tried refreshing the rom but that didn't help. My second issue is minor and I'm not even sure if it's a feature but I can't seem to get quick window to work. Thanks for any help.

I'm having trouble with my EVO staying in 3G coverage. My phone is fully rooted and running Froyo (The problems were the same with the Eclair build however), have the 2.05+ radio installed (however the problems were the same with the 1.39 radio as well) and I'm living in Michigan.
At any given time my phone will slip into 1X coverage and will seem to lock in there. When I first received the phone I felt like the phone quality was subpar compared to the Hero I had prior. I'm not sure if its been a firmware issue or network issue or simply a phone issue (starting to think the later), but hoping its a simple fix with something else.
About a week ago I was on a trip across Michigan which should have had 3g coverage the entire way (I was a passenger and trying to use wireless tethering to do some work along the trip). I would constantly go into 1X and would have to restart my phone to get back in 3G. Even at home I'll go into 1X and will have to reboot my phone to get it back to 3G.
I've tried Real Signal as well during these times and it also shows no 3G signal.
Anyways, anyone else experience this? Is it likely a bad radio or something else. I hate to have to return the phone and go through that process plus root again but I might have to at this point.
Thanks for any help that can be provided!!
Hmmm, whereabouts in MI? I am all over the south east and have never seen my phone drop out of 3G yet.
Have you tried wiping everything and trying stock rom w/OTA 1.47 just to make sure it isn't the ROM?
I am having the exact same problem. Using 2.0xxx radio and Fresh 0.5.3. I recently exchanged my phone and got a new one. The first phone did not do this
Try this:
When it shows you no 3G coverage, instead of restarting, go to-- SETTINGS> WIRELESS & NETWORKS> scroll down and look at "Mobile Network". When i get the 3g problem it says "Connection Failed". I think uncheck that box and re-check it and it connects back to 3g again (for a time, but then I have to do it again).
My MOBILE NETWORK settings are: Data Roaming = OFF, Always-on mobile data = ON, and CDM Roaming mode is set to: SPRINT only. Call guard = ON but i dunno what that means.
I dunno wtf is going on with this. Im in Houston and this issue is really pissing me off because i actually got a Novatek screen this time and don't want to risk taking the phone back and getting the Epson...
Anyone else experiencing this retarded issue?
Elegant: I'm in SE Michigan as well. I've tried several roms and have had issues with them all. I'm currently using a Froyo rom with similar issues as I've had with stock and other eclair roms.
As for checking/unchecking the box as you stated in Froyo I don't have that option available... I'm sure there's another way to get to it but I can't through settings. I think there was a #* code to get to where you are talking about but I'd have to look again.
It is a very annoying issue and like yourself I don't want to have to return my phone if there's a simple fix.
On a side note: How do I find out what panel I have? I've been considering the kernel that would get rid of the 30 fps cap but haven't yet pulled the trigger in part because I don't know which panel I have - and because I need to learn a little more about it before I go ahead with it.

Post 3 tells how to determine screen
Thanks for your help - got the kernel and now get around 40 FPS. Now if I can just figure out why the phone goes in and out of 3g on occasion. Its really not as big a deal when I'm at home but when I travel it is a pain.
well i returned my phone and got one with an Epson screen. im using Fresh 1.0.1 and it is even worse. i cant even use 3g data for more than 5 seconds before it disconnects. i've read some stuff about APN but dont know how to refresh/update them. i've updated PRL and Profile and nothing helps. how am i having this problem with 2 phones running 2 different ROMs? last rom was fresh 0.5.3 and now it is fresh 1.0.1...
anyone help with this APN issue? (i dont even know what APN stands for)
i actually am using the kernel for 55 FPS for Epson screens. would that be a factor either?
I'm and having the same issue with 3g.
Every thing worked fine with the first stock root of 1.32.651.1, PRI 1.40_003, PRL 60666.
With the second root of 1.47.651.1, PRI 1.34.651.1 now my 3g is unstable.
I don't know what FPS has to do with any of this, but I put radio radio-1.39.00.04.26 and it seems to improve a tiny bit, but I don't know how to update back to PRI 1.40_003.
Not happy
Also having problems in SE Michigan. Just started today after installation of Fresh 1.0.1 and the new radios. I also have a co-worker with and unrooted EVO and the latest OTA/Radio with the same problem.
I have a rooted EVO (DC 3.2.3). My wife has a stock EVO (fully updated).
Last night our phones started bouncing between roaming/sprint 3G, while we were sitting at home.
We started getting this error if we turned off Data Roam:
"Data Call Failure
Error Code 67: Registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again."
The error pops every time it tries to connect to Sprint's mobile network and fails.
We also live in Michigan. Perhaps they are doing provisioning?
Rebooting + update Profile/PRL seems to help, sometimes, but not permanently.
I am having the same issue with my 3g coverage.
When I go into my settings and turn mobile network on, it connects but then immediately says connection failed.
Does anyone have any suggestions as this is getting really annoying and frustrating.
Went to a Sprint store last night; apparently Michigan was having some significant network issues (the store reps said their phones kept getting disconnected as well), and that it was expected to be resolved by sometime today. After a reboot last night, I haven't had any more issues myself.
Background:
Ever since I've had this phone I couldn't get a data signal while roaming in areas where I knew one was available. Old phones would get data while roaming without a problem.
The Epic Touch would just give a notification saying "you have lost data connectivity" or something.
I understand certain Sprint roaming areas just plain don't have data available. This howto can not fix that.
What this howto does help you do is get a data signal while roaming in areas where a roaming data signal is available.
Credit:
This was apparently discovered by someone on the sprint forums, and I found a reference to it on the Android Central forums, so I do not know who credit goes to for discovering this.
What to Do:
It's best if you are in a roaming-only area to test this, or if you can force roaming. You'll also need to be on the stock kernel (rooted is fine) so you have the ability to update your Profile.
Let's do that now. Go to the Settings menu and tap About Phone - system updates - update profile and wait for it to complete, then tap ok.
From the home screen, tap Menu - Settings - Wireless and Networks - Roaming - Roaming Settings.
Un-check all options here (voice and data for both domestic and international)
With no boxes checked, tap the "Data" box under domestic roaming. Tap only this one, not voice.
You will get a box asking you to confirm. Click yes. This will then automatically enable voice as well.
Another pop up with a red box will ask if you really want to use data while roaming. At this point you can tell it to never ask again and click Roam.
Now you can use data while roaming where it's available!
Update:
after trying this multiple times to verify it works, occasionally the final pop-up with the red box disappears before you can read it. I was able to long press the home button to show recent apps, then tap the "Data Roaming Guard" app. Then I could tap Roam.
This is critical for me as sometimes I am in roaming areas for work and I need internet and this phone is the only access I have. Now I can use it!
Report back with any corrections or feedback. Mileage may vary.
I don't know if it's necessary to update the profile. I have that step in there because that is the sequence I used. If you try it without updating the profile, let me know. This would allow people on a custom kernel to do this too.
I spent an hour and a half with Sprint yesterday on the phone trying to resolve this. They turned me over to new reps three times (including to the international support department) each one not aware of my issue so I'd have to explain everything again.
Finally I started digging on the web and found the tip on AC. Took me 2 minutes.
DOH! Stupid Tapatalk.
Mods, please move to General. Didn't mean to start this in development.
Thanks for sharing this. I will try this out.

I have the same issues. My girlfriend has an EVO and she will have data while roaming, and I wont. Even if were right next to each other.
Thanks, this worked great for me & did not have to update profile. I am on stock rooted deodexed rom.
Worked for me! Thanks, that was very annoying!
thanks! now i can play wwf at work lol
I did this awhile back when I saw it on the AC forums. I also read this phone cannot roam on PCS networks because of a limitation in the radio so there still may be times it won't roam when other phones will.
Greetings All!
I was able to make roaming calls before; but I followed these instructions and now I can use roaming data as well. Fortunately Atlanta is a pretty good 4G metro area so I rarely need to use roaming data. Usually either 3G or 4G is available. Nonetheless it's nice to have the option.
FYI I forced roaming by using the Roam Control app and have verified that for the first time with this phone I have a nonzero "Sprint 3G Data Roaming" entry in the detailed usage screen on the Sprint website.
Many thanks!
Cheers, Henri
Ok, glad this is working for people! I know it was the biggest gripe I had about the phone by far.

Agreed. And such a simple solution. Thanks again.
Had my S4 over a month now. Rooted and running Wicked Rom...Version 2, after that 3. All of a sudden...I started getting no data....
Could send texts/calls and receive them as well. Playstore or any browser/app that required net would fail. Couldn't even sync, would always pop up with a no network connection. At home, from time to time, I would get signal but it would be unbearably slow. I'm talking about clicking playstore and waiting a minute for it to load, with thumbnails loading every minute.
I just odin'ed back to stock MDL...Still same issue, even on stock rom. Is the phone borked? or?...Any ideas would be appreciated....Depressing considering it's a new phone. I pray I don't have to go through refurb hell like my friends have had to do with verizon. I **** you not, had a friend with a messed up Nexus, went through 6 phones with issues...*sigh*..
call t mobile ask them if they r doing any type of work around your house.... try flashing everything back to normal AGAIN and see what happens.. for some reason I was getting bad download speeds with darthstalker rom... I have no idea how that would even work but when I was on it I'd take a minute to download an app as opposed to Instantly on wicked.. maybe I got a bad download... I'll try again when a new version comes out

I had a network issue on wicked I think it had to do with deviant kernel because once I flaked phantom kernel I no longer had weird drop in data. Also check your APN setting if to live in an lte are you want the fast.T-Mobile.com as your APN if you do not you want the epc APN can't remember of top of head what it's called

Did you fix this man>? I have the same problem.
I had this issue a few times last week ever since they started upradeing the towers for LTE. what i did was select WCDMA mode in network settings that that happened to fix the issue for a while

yep I can confirm this. I live around Boston and I think they just started rolling out LTE this month. I would get LTEfrom time to time as I was driving around town but sometimes no data at all and required a reboot. I'm running wicked as well. After selecting "WCDMA/GSM autoselect" under mobile networks, it seemed to be a lot better.
Hey guys I need help,
I recently flashed loserskater's SRx3 TW based ROM for my i747 which went fine but I decided to revert back to an AOSP rom for overall smoothness. For those unfamiliar with SRx3 ROM, it comes with an AROMA installer which had one of the options indicating that if I wanted WiFi I had to use a specific kernel. So, naturally, I did. Well now after reverting back to an AOSP ROM, I'm noticing that LTE isn't connecting and that my signal continuously drops. Every 10 or so minutes my mobile signal will drop completely, not allowing me to make calls or texts. Also, when the mobile network is available I'm seeing H+ in my statusbar when normally I've been seeing LTE since I live in a really strong LTE network. I've checked the Mobile Networks section of settings and cannot figure out which one needs to be selected to re-enable LTE. HELP!
I have the same problem. A little less frequent than you though.
I am having problem with Mobile data, the phone status bar show 4G LTE icon and i have 2 bars on the signal but i get no data coming thru.
I reboot the the phone and i get data right away, after a certain time the phone would loose the data connection, i dont know when it will do this.
Sometimes I toggle the Airplane mode, i would fix the connection too. But phone reboot always does the trick.
Anyone knows of a fix or a work around for this?
I am running ViperOne 1.6 Rom. 1.5 OTA to 1.6
Thanks

I have the same problem except I'm using the T-Mobile version. I would be listening to Pandora and the internet connection would drop for 5 minutes. Statusbar shows good LTE and toggling mobile data does not do anything, only restarting or waiting. Using ARHD 5 on TMOUS
Try to manual seting for APN.mine works great with non Verizon provider
