Before S-off my 3vo would automatically switch over to a Verizon tower while roaming, now after S-off Verizon towers can no longer validate my 3vo and wont roam on that system? Is there a fix for this or is it going to stay like this?

Call Sprint and tell them your voice roaming isnt working. I had to do it yesterday. Hopefully you dont get an idiot like I did the first time.
Ok thanks I will give that a try.

i have so far gotten 3 idiots
sorry but do you mind telling what for roaming is needed?
you can internet/ 3g without roaming right?
what is it for?
He's saying his roaming is borked, I assume he ran an update of his prl, when he makes a call he probably gets a message from Verizon saying his phone is not registered. Sprint will probably want to do a re activation.
You roam on Verizon when a sprint signal is not available, which is quite common for me.
Also check your settings in the wireless and networks section and see if your set to automatic and not home only, and roaming guards are turned off. S-off does do something to the phone authentication so its up to sprint to fix it on their end.
doesnt roaming cost money?
meh i have everywhere connection to my provider,
99% coverage.
I just rooted a few days ago and can't call on verizon either, calling sprint tonight.
use sprint chat,makes things alot easier and faster
tried chatting 3 times, getting error 1012, and so far no one can tell me to do anything except pull the battery or update the profile
try just making a call while ytou are not roaming, you will most likely get and error 16, and if you hold long enough you wil;l be routed directly to sprint to the security dept. who will fix your problem
I just got off with Sprint chat and said:
I am getting an error 16 and need an HRL refresh

They refreshed my settings and it worked fine afterwards.
Is there any way I can force the phone to go into roaming so that I can see if I have that same issue?

There's an app for that, roam control, but its kind of shady, it dosent work when you need it most. Obviously you don't have a working signal and no data, it has to check for a license every time before you can use it. So if you don't have data and need to roam, your sol until the phone itself decides to roam.
Trying to get fixed... Said I had to be off phone, what did they refresh?
Roam Control doesn't seem to work, at least for me.

It shouldn't check the license every time you run the app...it doesn't for most people. I'm trying to figure out why it does this for a small number of phones, hope to have some type of correction soon. Thanks! -MrGreg

Can you tell me how to get around the license check error? That's the biggest gripe I have with the app.

Sprint seems to be no help...
I installed my airave last night, today I have full bars where normally I would have 1-2, I can receive calls no problem....but if I dial out all I hear is some random techno robot sound....
Sprint had me update my prl and profile....then reset my airave...
It's back up cause I def have full bars, so I tried to call out....same thing...
Anyone else experience this? Oh, they also had me change my network settings from automatic to Sprint only....

yup...never had it happen on inbound calls ever. only outbound...and as previously mentioned I was also suspicious of EPST being messed with...I'm pretty sure that would come about when I'd force roaming...or take it off of forced roaming. I don't recall exactly...but I know it happened on AOSP and Sense roms.

I had that issue as well. Couldn't figure it out. I called sprint & one of the rudest reps I ever talked to explained situation & they said it was the internet connection. Had me go test it and everything was good except quality of service was to low. So she said I was just screwed cause I probably won't call my internet provider. I appreciate the tip on the voice quality settings, I will try that.

I'm probably gonna have to do the same too. Sprint told me it could also be your internet connection. Read page 14 or 15 of the details in my Free Sprint Airave thread if you like. Forgot where exactly I wrote it.
Wondering if anyone else can figure out whats going on. I am a Drill Sergeant and work 14+ hours a day and need my phone all the time but I do not get service at work, so I decided to try the prl hack. I can get 3g sometimes but when I try to make calls I get a message saying my phone cant be authenticated. Anyone know a fix? I called sprint and told them I get the error when roaming and they couldnt give me an answer or fix. Is there a app i can use to make calls over 3g that I could use when at work? Thanks
Which prl, 00001?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Would you be able to use an Airave where you work? Your best bet would be to work something out with Sprint, they will eventually give you the boot if you are roaming all the time.
I have tried 00001 and some others and also roam control. I cant use Airwave where I work. I just dont like the fact I am supposed to get unlimited roaming and cant make calls while my co workers with verizon are streaming youtube and pandora perfectly
Anyone ?

I had the same thing happen to me, except I was working in an ambulance. Call sprint from a landline and tell them you can't use voice roaming. They'll push an update that you need to download and you'll be up an running again.
And good luck to you. I could never be a drill. Just thinking of those round browns still creeps me out. haha!
That worked thanks. I tried that before and they didn't know what I was talking about LOL. Finally got a tech who knew. Yea being a drill is tiring but fun.

Yeah, this happens to me occasionally, although I haven't been able to tell if It's my phone's fault or not, but I'm assuming it is, esp since you're having this issue too

Welcome to the ****ty Sprint network
The fix? Get a Verizon or ATT phone
I'm really considering it but I'm just not sure about the monthly raping I'll receive
At least youll actually be able to use the data you pay for on Verizon
I would do the same but thankfully I am in an area with Wifi most of the time so it doesnt matter that the data speed is only 40kb/s and no 4G service.
I wish my speeds were that fast smh
Google voice integration did this to me. Disabled integration and went back to normal.
Also been having problems with missing/late texts ever since i linked it to google voice.
no, but sometimes mine will come with the timestamp way later than it actually is, which is also annoying.
So sprint called me asking if I noticed any improvements, I told them to call me tomorrow so I can test it out....its the same no improvements
Yea just stay with the Verizon prl I have not left it for months

Been on the 0001 prl for the past couple of days, not a single late message
I was gonna post a thread about this too but I'll spare the clutter. This started happening to me since I flashed the latest ota with leeroid tweaks 3 days ago. I flashed the radio too. I was suspecting it was the update or radio or something... There was 1 text I got yesterday 3 hours late.

Hey Guys,
I've been using the Verizon PRL 00001 for the last few months. I have no service in my house without it...none! For some reason on my last bill, I had 650 mins (200 over my 450) charged to my account when I never even hit 100 on average. No mobile-to-mobile mins were registered and most calls made after 7pm counted toward my anytime mins instead of my free nights and weekends! I looked at my call log and calls I know that were made to mobile phones (most to other Sprint customers) showed up as "Unavailable". I called to complain and I was told by Sprint that those calls were made off the network therefore they were charged to your anytime mins. I was advised to use the option "Sprint Towers Only" which means my phone is pretty much useless. A few days later, I received the famous roaming warning letter from Sprint. I cannot receive texts on the 21083 PRL even if I'm in a clear Sprint area. My phone only works in the 00001 PRL. What do I do? I've flashed several different Sense ROM's and I get the same result. I even updated my radio and build and still get the same result. I've tried other PRL's but the only one that will allow me to receive texts is the 00001. If this continues, Sprint will terminate my account but if I leave it on the 21083 PRL, I can't get texts and calls constantly drop! HELP! Thanks, guys!
Have you tried 01115?

Nothing you can do except switch to another carrier. If you don't have signal in your house, there is nothing you can do from the phone to get a signal, sprint just needs to add a tower closer to your house, which they will never do for just one customer. So stop screwing sprint by running the Verizon PRL 24/7 and just bite the bullet and switch.
A couple of thoughts. You could/should let them terminate you so you can get a carrier that works where you live. Did you move since you got your phone? Try and install a stock ROM with the latest OTA, and then make sure you have the current PRL and radio's. If that does not work, switch to Verizon and get the Galaxy Nexus.
Not to be preachy, but being on the 00001 prl violates your contract with Sprint as you will reach the roaming limits very fast. They are on to you at this point...

I have a new tower less than a mile from my house but I guess geologically it doesn't help. I can't even receive texts in a clear Sprint area in the 21083 PRL...its got to be a phone issue. I'm not screwing anybody! I'd switch if it wouldn't cost me $350 early termination and if Verizon had an unlimited plan. I just want my phone to function as it should on a proper PRL...

Well you didn't mention that before, which makes a big difference. Knowing this, it likely IS a problem with your phone, and sprint should replace it if you are still under warranty. Unroot, take into a corporate sprint store, and have it checked out.

stay on the newest prl and call them and have them reprovision your phone from their end.
So I went to visit the parents and they live in the mountains in a roaming area. I had roaming service for the first day and it went away the next? I tried updating PRL, putting the different corporate PRLs on and the 00002 prl. That didn't work..updated PRL and then tried updating Profile but the profile wouldn't update.
My phone is showing FULL bars with a triangle but no 3g, H or 1x. So I can't call, text, or use the internet. I tried restoring a nand, tried full wipe with a fresh install, tried flipping airplane.mode on and off, tried everything I could possibly think of. Even bought the roam controller app.
So I finally call Sprint and all they said is to pull the battery..tried that and no luck. They said they can't help me if I'm roaming.
I'm really stumped. Think it could just be the towers? I'm here for a week and need service for important calls.
Smart people use googlevoice. NO ONE HAS MY PERSONAL NUMBER. Therefore, as long as I use google voice.... I can re-direct to whatever number I wish. So if out of area. boom. redirect it to the landline. lol. "Sorry mom and dad. I'm stealing your phone for the week." lol. OR YOU CAN BUY ONE OF THOSE devices if they have a good internet connection. then your 3G will work. But then again. as you said you can't use data. so I'm guessing they have no wifi or internet at all. sucks to be you.
