Hello there I currently have an unlocked vibrant currently on the mobilicity network in Toronto, Canada.
The phone works well, no issues except for establishing and securing a connection with the network provider. Every time I go to an area where it loses service, like parking garages or subways it loses the connection- obviously- but when you get back to an area where there should be service I only connect to the roaming service. This is leading to extra costs since my plan has charges for that.
What I do now is when i go somewhere with no service i switch to flight mode. When i get back where there is service i have to usually turn the phone off and restart it and search for a network manually.
Are there any apps, hacks, or fixes that can stop me from seeing or detecting roaming services, and force the phone to lock on to my network provider's service?
I want to use it only in the current home zones, and if out of one, i accept the fact that the phone does not work at all. I am always in the coverage zone and never want to use it while roaming.
can anyone help?
At the setting, there is an option there Data Roaming, you need to check or uncheck it. Select the option that will prevent you from doing data roaming and that should fix your problem.
On the otherhand, I have a question for you. I have the same phone and same provider, mobilicity. Our problem is the 3g connection. It is spotty sometimes the 3g icon appears and then disappears. Does this happen to you? I noticed the problem occurs when I go under like basement when there is no signal. After resurfacing, I gell signal reception sometimes full but the 3g or data connection won't work. To solve this, we would usually shut down the phone and restart it. Do you experience the same problem? If yes, what was your fix. Thanks.

Same problem here. Any guidance will be appreciated.
I've done the suggestions for Wind but to no avail.
same mobile , same provider , same issue
hai guys i have the same issue , but my thing is more worser than you.....when ever i go to an underground parking my 3g gets turned off and wen i come out from that place i cant able to make or receive any calls .....i need to restart the phone to turn on the signal again...its really weird any one have the solution ?????
Hey all, I have a Vibrant on Wind, this is what I do.
Go to settings.
Wireless and Network -> Mobile Network -> Network Mode ->WCDMA only
This enables that you stick to Mobilicity's 3G network and not roam on the Rogers 2G network.
If you lose signal, you will not roam, but simply not be connected until you move out and pick up Mobilicity's signal again.
Hope that helps.

I found this on Howard forumns:.... I know this post is old but the solution could help someone who recently bought a old for to get used to customization /flashing.>>> Hope its useful
From Post:

It works!!! It totally works!!!! I love it! Thank you so much guys!!!! Now I don't have to restart my phone EVERY morning as soon as I pull out of the underground garage in my car!!!
Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Dial: *#*#197328640#*#*
Click [1] debug screen
Click [8] phone control
Click [7] network control
Click [2] band selection
This is where you make a change, default setting is [1] automatic, which means it chooses automatically between gsm/cdma (Edge vs 3g). So we are going to change this and set it to wcdma band which is 3g.
Click [2] wcdma band
Click [1] wcdma all []
Now it should display “select wcdma all bands[*]"
Now on the bottom of your phone, click the menu key, it’s the one next to the home key, now click back, menu again one more time, back one more time, this is just to confirm it set to number 2 wcdma band.
Now click menu key one last time, click end.. and you are done. Now to double verify that the phone is locked into 3g, dial in: *#*#4636#*#*
Then click phone information Then scroll down to “set preferred network type” It should now have listed “wcdma only.” PS, if you tried to do a shortcut, and just set wcdma this way first without doing the lock above, it would just go back to gsm/cdma auto once you exit the screen.
Your phone should now be locked into 3g.

Again found on Howard forumns and copied and pasted to word doc. to keep for my mum as she gets the phone.... I got her the the 27.50 holiday plan so she can call anywhere to anyone in North america with unlimited data....coverage is good so far...
P.S. i dont allow roaming as to not incure more charges.
I know this is an oldish thread but.
Trying to fix connection issues and the Dial code does not work for me. It just does nothing when I enter that. The only code that works is *#*#4636#*#* and that does not help me.
Anyone else having this issue and know why it's not working. I have an Amaze 4G. Only posting here about this phone because this is the only thread I could find related to my issue.
Searched all over now. Those codes are to be the only solution and they don't do anything on my phone.
Anyone have answers?
I have a mytouch 4g (it's actually the htc panache) that just suddenly wouldn't connect to the network after I restarted it. When I try to add a network manually, the only option I have is to connect to Canadian roaming...
I don't get good 3G at my house and when I'm on edge in get almost full bars. How can I shut off 3G/4g? I did the 4636 thing and selected gsm only but I still see h+. What am I doing wrong ? Is there another way? App?
When change it I just back out by the back button...is there a diffremt way I should do it to save the gsm settings only?
Thanks

Ok .. sigh... first off... the "bars" you are referring to indicates cell strength(voice calls/SMS) not data speed or strength. I think the atrix shows h+ no matter what as on my nexus it would change to H when using hsdpa and 3g for when on 3g and likewise for edge and even g **edit that's a cyanogen mod**. NOW as for switching to 2g only and disabling 3g it is ( settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks> select network = your choice) no need for *#*#4636#*#*
On another note if your getting slowdown on 3g try a restart... 2g is not going to be any faster.

Besides going through the different setting menus, there are widgets available in the market that will act as a shortcut to the last (or semi-last) preference. I have it configured in Extended Controls

i know what the bars mean. what i am saying is, i get a way better signal at home/work with EDGE. i want to be able to shut off 3g, like i use to be able to on my iphone to save battery, and i jsut dont need the connection at home and work.
i went to the settings, and mobile networks is greyed out? how can i get into that menu?

will it shut off 3g? and just keep EDGE? i have done it manually, but it does not seem to work?
no matter how many times i go into the 4636 screen and select GSM ONLY it goes right back to GSM/WCDMA
and i am so sick of looking service when it switches over from EDGE to 3g for ONE bar. what am i doing wrong? why cant i get it to STAY on EDGE>..this no service thing is making me wonder if i want to return this phone..

I forgot that I had to unlock my phone for it to work (canada, go figure) maybe thats why mine isn't greyed out.

After selecting 2g only mode, my Atrix still gets 4g speeds...
I am running the same phone under AT&T with 4.5.141. I rooted the phone and enabled the greyed out preference pane to select 2g only. Regardless of if I select 2g only there, and if I use the *#*#4636#*#* code, I can run speedtest and get 4g speeds .... Do I just need to go the cyanogen mod? Are there other preference panes that I need to edit? I am jealous of all of you out there who have successfully whipped their Atrix 4g!

You will have to flash the n_1.100.00r radio

Im in a good 4g area and it randomly switches to 3G. Is there a way to make it stay?
You may not be in as good an area as you think. The signal strength meter is actually for 3g, even when using 4g.
Open the dialed and use *#*#4636#*#* and you can set to LTE only instead of LTE+CDMA auto + EvDo (can't remember exactly how it's worded.
You want to use the dropdown preferred network setting. Remember after switching, give it about 30 seconds to make the swap between changes.
That's a very handy dialer string everyone should know from memory.
If you want to disable the 4G radio so it's not searching for a signal if it doesn't exist in your area, go down to the preferred network and choose cdma auto prl.

There is a program in that market that will take you to the same place as that dialer string.
LTE ONOFF
I could never remember the string, and since I was going to need to switch to GSM networks in Europe I just used this. It works well. And the LTE only option is labeled is just LTE Only
Hi EPST and reprogramming your phone, a comprehensive guide
I see a lot of posts in dev threads like "i flashed your rom now my signal/data is gone" so i decided to create this guide to help relieve unnecessary posts. Hope it helps
An introduction to EPST
Epst is a application that sprint uses to activate/program a phone. It read/writes to the NAM of your phone.NAM is an acronym for Numeric Assignment Module and is the place in TDMA/CDMA equipment where your phone number, ESN, system information and data settings live. In the old days we programmed handsets by hand, now it is usually done OTA (much is preset, a little is manually entered, data provisioning is truly OTA). It has many uses but this guide will concentrate on the data portion of epst. Here are the 3 codes that we will be using:
##3282# (data)
##72786# (scrtn)
##786# (reverse logistics support)
Keep in mind you will need your msl either from sprint (its really easy to get), or msl reader from the maket (root required)
##3282# (Data)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The Data menu is broken down into 6 menus and usb charging selection.
1. Data Profile: This is where you can setup multiple data profiles (not sure why you would to) and contains your sprint username and other info on your data profile.
2. Evdo: Two menus here DDTM and preferred mode. DDTM is an option to where if you are downloading over your 3g/1x it will send calls to voice mail. It can be useful if you are trying to download a large file over 3g and don't want it to be interrupted. Preferred mode is exactly that... your network preferred mode. There are several settings there all of which are safe to use. Mine is set to cdma hdr only because i have no lte in my area. In theory it should save a little battery life by not scanning for lte.
3. Advanced: This menu contains a lot of important info. From your esn/meid to toggling lte.
There a few settings in here you can tweak to possibly benefit from.
A. Slot Cycle Index (SCI): This determines how often a handset polls the network for coverage and incoming packets. The default value is 2. A "Slot" is 1.28 seconds and doubles with each incremental change from 0 to 7 (0=1.28, 1=2.56, 2=5.12 seconds, etc). setting a handset to poll more often may use noticeably more battery if coverage is thin or lacking.
B. ACCOLC (Access Overload Class): This code determines your priority to make and receive calls on the network. Higher the number, lower the priority. Lower the number, higher the priority. Emergency Services reserves 0 + 1 (please do not use these) leaving your choices to 2-9.
C.Removing the Sprint Proxy
1. With MSL in hand, go to the Phone app and dial ##3282#
2. Click Edit Mode
3. Your "Password" is your Phone's MSL, enter it here.
4. Click Advanced
5. Scroll down to RTSP/HTTP Setting
6. Change RTSP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0 or You can leave this blank if you like
7. Change RTSP proxy Port to 0 (Zero)
8. HTTP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0 or You could leave this blank if you like
9. HTTP proxy port to 0 (Zero)
10.Once complete, back out to the home screen and enjoy Downloads and a .20- .60 mbps increase in 3G speeds!
It may not hurt to verify the settings are in place by following steps 1 through 5 again, if you're OCD. Removing this proxy removes at least one or more hops in between you and your connection destination, possibly increasing your WAN connection speed via 2G/3G/4G and Wi-Fi. As always, use at your own risk and take a screen shot of your original settings.
D. Improve CDMA Call Sound Quality via a Codec Change:
There are a few important things to note. This adjustment changes the Codec used to compress the voices of you and your caller across the Cell Network using EVRC-B which is an updated revision to the current CDMA standard EVRC. It has been noted in a few places, that making this change CAN effect your ability to make outbound calls in some roaming situations, including over Network extenders like the AirRave. As always, YMMV and I STRONGLY recommend that you both test this change in your normal use environments as well as keep a general idea of these instructions handy in the event you need to revert to the default settings in an emergency. As always, YOU and YOU ALONE are FULLY responsible for changes to any handset in which these and any modifications are made.
1. With MSL in hand, go to the Phone app and dial ##3282#
2. Click Edit Mode
3. Your "Password" is your Phone's MSL, enter it here.
4. Click Advanced
5. Scroll down the list and note the entries for EVRC-B, Home Orig, and Roam Orig.
6. Change EVRC-B to "Enable"
7. Change Home Orig and Roam Orig to "EVRC-B"
8. Hit Menu, and select "Commit Modifications"
9. Your phone will prompt you to click ok to restart or it will restart automatically.
To reverse the changes, repeat all of the above steps except change the following.
6. Change EVRC-B to "Disable"
7. Change Home Orig and Roam Orig to "EVRC"
Click to learn more about EVRC and EVRC-B
4. DSS:Not sure if these really need to be messed with unless you have flashed to another carrier...
5. LTE Record Various logs and scan rates for LTE safe to adjust...
6. PDN Setting I only found one document which seemed to pertain to this Here There are 3 sub menus internet, ota, and pam (phone as modem?). If anyone knows more about this fell free to chime in. :good:
##72786# (SCTRN)
This menu contains 4 sections containing your MDN, MSID, M.IP Custom Profile1-NAI and AAA shared secret password. All of these are unique to your data profile and should never change. The ##code is used to reset these 4 items to re-provision your phone without wiping any data.
##786# (Hard Reset)
This menu contains a lot of the same info as the previous codes with a little extra. It is used for the quintessential "hard reset". This will completely wipe data/app, your internal sd, and NAM so your phone can be re-provisioned.
FAQ SECTION
Note: I do not fully understand how or why the NAM section of your phone becomes corrupt but is does. I have never had to call sprint to have them fix my data so i hope this helps.
Q. Help im stuck on 1x/2g.
Q. I just flashed your rom now i have no signal help!
Q. My data speeds really suck lately anyone else?
Note: All these fixes must be preformed on a stock or stock based rom with epst support and make sure you are in a known good signal area
A. These are all very common questions i have seen around here in the past years and are all very easy to fix... process below.
Whenever i have data issues whether it be stuck on 1x, no data/signal, or slow data, I always follow the following steps...
1. ill just do a profile update and see if that helps.
2. If that doesn't help this is my next step.
Enter Dialer
##3282#
select edit and enter MSL
select data profile
select menu and select Restore
reboot and update profile
3.Still no worky?
Enter Dialer:
##72786#
select edit and enter MSL
select menu and then Reset
After phone goes through "hands free activation" and your back at your dialer, enter this:
##3282#
select edit and enter MSL
select data profile
select menu and select Restore
After your rebooted and back at your home screen go into settings/system updates/ and update your profile.
4. This is your last step before calling sprint (which i have never had to, this has always worked for me).
THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING IN DATA/APP AS WELL AS YOUR INTERNAL SD! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED SO MAKE A BACKUP
Enter Dialer
##786#
select menu and select reset
enter msl and select ok
After phone goes through "hands free activation" go into settings/system updates/ and update your profile and you should be set
This guide is a WIP, and yes i know most of this information is already in some thread buried somewhere but I thought a little consolidation was in order. Maybe we can get data questions in here and there wont be 4 pages of someone trying to figure out why their data wont work in a dev thread.:good:
Also this is my first attempt at a guide...go easy on me.
Prl Information
PRL INFORMATION AND UPDATING
Thank you Digiblur for letting me kang some of your OP. I really appreciate it. Go thank this guy NAOWZ!
Take a moment and read this article before reading any further: What is a PRL?
PRL Series - Acct- Device
25xxx = Residential acct - LTE/800SMR
24xxx = Business acct (some 3G roaming added) - LTE/800SMR
55xxx = Residential acct - worldphone LTE/800SMR
56xxx = Corporate acct (VZW 3G roaming) - worldphone LTE/800SMR
16xxx = Corporate acct (VZW 3G roaming) - LTE/800SMR
11xxx = Corporate acct (VZW 3G roaming) - no LTE/no 800SMR
12xxx = Corporate acct (VZW 3G roaming) - no LTE/low priority 800SMR
60xxx = Residential acct - no LTE/no 800SMR
21xxx = Residential acct - no LTE/low priority 800SMR
51xxx = iPhone5 - low priority 800SMR
800 SMR Enabled PRLs/Areas
xxx13 - DFW, Chicago, Baltimore, North CA, Atlanta, Boston, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, New Mexico, New York, Orlando, San Antonio and Southern California
PRL Change Logs and Full Analysis' can be found on this website:
www.batonrougebroadband.info This is Digiblurs site the guy is full of info
PRL 00001, 00002, 00003, and 01337 are modded PRLs that force your phone to use Verizon's network for voice and 3G Prl 15094, 15096, 17098 are PRLs that force you to use US Cellular's network for voice and 3G. Use these for TESTING purposes only. I do not recommend or condone using them 100% of the time. You will not be able to determine when you are roaming. You won't even be able to tell if you roaming internationally!! There is a 300mb data cap and other minute based roaming caps with Sprint. Myself or this website are NOT responsible if you break your Terms of Service and get your contract terminated. Discussions about how to get your contract terminated using these non-Sprint PRLs will not be tolerated and will be deleted. If Verizon/USCC works for you and Sprint's service does not, then you need purchase Verizon/USCC service.
Common PRL Myths
1. A PRL is not a list of towers. It's a list of cell phone systems that your phone searches for.
2. It will not make your phone connect to different Sprint 3G towers.
3. It will not give you better Sprint PCS band 3G or 1X coverage.
4. It will not give you better LTE coverage.
5. An update is not required for new cellular sites.
6. The only time a PRL update will give you better native Sprint coverage is when 800mhz SMR (BC10) support is added and enabled in your area.
7. You can not use AT&T, VZW, or US Cellular LTE with a use of a different PRL
8. Don't believe the nonsense and lies that a Sprint rep will tell you about PRLs (they were never trained on PRLs and only go by rumors and hearsay instead of facts)
Prl updating without a pc.
NOTE: This will only work on sense roms with epst support.
On device prl update is now possible. I would like to thank rulingczar for some help looking in the right place. All you have to do is edit 1 line in build.prop.
How to change the build.prop:
There are a few ways to change build.prop. The easiest imo is to use an app like kernel tuner to change it. KT even has a nice backup and restore option. You could also take your favorite file explorer and navigate to /system and open build.prop as text and edit there. If you are adb savvy then you could pull the file, edit it with a program like notepad++, and push it back to your device with proper permissions.
ro.build.type user
to
ro.build.type dev
1 .Reboot and let the system fully load (or there will be lag in Epst) and enter dialer.
2. Enter ##778# and choose edit. Enter MSL and choose prl.
3. Select update prl and select a prl from your sd card.
4. Select menu in the upper right corner and commit modifications.
5. Epst will reboot the device and the prl should be applied.
6. It is always a good idea to update your profile after a prl change. Enjoy!

They also give it to you in an email if you do an esn swap (change phones) online. They also give directions how to program your phone in the e mail. They like to refer to it as "a six digit number" lol.

As I recall, going into the individual PDN items on that list while in edit mode will delete individual entries if they are accidentally selected and no info in entered in the field ie you select the field to edit and you can't cancel out to get the data previously populated in that field.
Has anyone successfully backed up and restored CDMA "APN"s? Even looking under the hidden function "CDMA APNs" shows no actual APNs in the traditional GSM sense.
They aren't kept in the apns Conf. Look in mms_config.xml in the mms.apk.
There is a program that can decompile apks to actual source code not smali. I would like to have a look through the epst.apk and see how it works. May be able to get more features.

That would be awesome, im just a union electrician, and dont know too much about java... Speaking of more features im attaching a copy of epst from android 2.1 eclair. It had the feature to change prl's on the fly via handset ##PRL#. It was ported to 2.2 and 2.3. I dont think anyone really tried to get it going on ICS which would be very nice. I would definitely appreciate if anyone got it to work...
Well on the fly prl changing is once again possible on the info bar rom by newtoroot
This is on a us cellular prl. :thumbup:
Here is the epst apk:http://db.tt/Lghf8UVb
I haven't been able to get it to work but I only tried on viper rom. I'll try more later tonight...

Not sure what your question is... Your audio codec is selectable. And should stick.

I tried this but tapping RTSP/HTTP setting doesn't do anything. Anyone got a clue?

You must be in view mode... You must be in edit mode to edit the values. When you type ##data# a menu will pop up with 2 options.

NOTE: This will only work on sense roms with epst support.
On the fly prl update is now possible. I would like to thank rulingczar for some help looking in the right place. All you have to do is edit 1 line in the build prop.
ro.build.type user
to
ro.build.type dev
Reboot and let the system fully load (or there will be lag in Epst) and enter dialer.
Enter ##778# and choose edit. Enter MSL and choose prl. Select update prl and select a prl from your sd card. Select menu in the upper right corner and commit modifications. Epst will reboot the device and the prl should be applied. It is always a good idea to update your profile after a prl change. Enjoy!

Worked like a charm
I'm out of thanks so Thank You
BTW I didn't change anything other then user>dev but ##778# worked
Also might be a good idea to show the path taken to edit the ro.build.type

I did tapped edit mode and everything else works, just not that RTSP/HTTP setting... Maybe it's my device's problem

Hi, I am currently using the VZW Google Edition ROM 5.9 and have service and WiFi. My problem is it only connects to 3G, and not 4G. As advised, I have not gone into network settings, but I did open Phone Info and see that it is set to LTE/CDMA auto. Any reason I am not getting LTE?
Just a thought, but maybe you could check the APN settings and see if they are different than what you should have.

Thanks for the response. I am kind of new to this, where do I check the APN settings and how do I know what I should have? Thank you.
Do you have LTE coverage in your area? If so, can you use another phone/friend to double check if LTE is working? I only ask because we had LTE go out where we live.
Gir brings up a good point, I don't have 4G where I am (and probably won't for years!), but that may be simplest as long as they use the same network (although many carriers piggyback off the same network).
The APN settings should be under "Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names". On a stock ROM you have to get to the actual file through ADB, you should be able to see it if you have an aftermarket ROM. The settings for the APN will depend upon Verizon. Here is a good post with APN settings for Verizon, the first part is for Android.
Coverage could always be the issue as that has plagued me more times than not.
From the ROM thread:
Go into mobile network settings.
Verify that your CDMA subscription is set to RUIM and not NV.
For good measure go into the rest of the options and set it to CDMA/LTE, automatic, and allow data roaming.
Back out to your home screen.
Then go into Phone Info app.
Scroll to bottom and tap radio off.
Open the drop down list and select CDMA/LTE auto (PRL).
Turn the radio back on.
Reboot.
Upon reboot open Phone Info again.
Verify it is set to CDMA/LTE auto (PRL)
** you should have full service now * *
** if not * *
In Phone_Info(*#*#4636#*#*):
Try CDMA auto (PRL)
Then try CDMA/GSM/LTE
If those still don't work then your nv_data needs reset. The only way to do that is in the hidden menu dialer codes in a touchwiz-stocktype rom
If you destroy your nv_data and cannot get data back via the above you need to (stop screwing with your network settings)flash back to a TW ROM, enable hidden menu, and do a NV data reset via dialer code. After doing that make sure your phone is not in modem mode under diag dialer code. Until I update this section Google is your friend. And it is available information, verified. Your lack of searching skills doesn't mean pester my inbox...
I do have LTE in my area, as I had 4G before I loaded the rom. I do not have an APN menu under mobile networks. Do you think it could help to dial *228 option 2 to update roaming? Or possibly a new 4G sim card?
Anything about updating I would research first and be wary of... A new SIM card could help, but I'm assuming it is not the problem. Did you make a NANDROID before you changed ROMs? You could then go back and see it you still got 4G to make it evident if your SIM card is the problem.
FIXED
Just needed a new sim card. Thanks guys. I appear to be receiving signal bars with my LTE on the GPE rom as well.
