Hey guys, my Evo 3D won't let me make any calls when I'm roaming all of the sudden. It just connects to Verizon and says "Welcome to Verizon Wireless....We're currently unable to athenicate you phone..." I do have a Verizon PRL flashed so some may say that I've been kicked off by Sprint but why would the data still work when roaming.
Also, I tried flashing the PRL back to Sprint and using the Roam Control App from the Market then I can roam and make calls but the data doesn't work!!!
I'm baffled... Any suggestions??
P.S. I can receive calls while roaming with flash PRL but I just can't make them.
Thanks!
What the hell is a 3vo?

EVO 3D......
I was getting the same VZ recording last weekend when using "force roam", data was not working either. called Sprint, they re-provisioned my phone & that fixed it.
I've been having this problem since June with 8 different phones plus my wife's Optimus S. Haven't been able to make a roaming call since June. Call got them to reprovision and still the same thing.
be sure to include the whole 10 digit number when making calls when roaming.

Well sprint canceled my account for roaming using to much data. I don't know why? I have heard of people getting canceled because of using verizon prl but I have never I have been using 12117. They will not turn it back on I have tried everything so I have to have my mom add me a phone this sucks. So watch out.

Isn't that a corporate prl? A prl you shouldn't be on? Sorry you abused it and got caught.

Did you force roam or roam alot? Show us your data usage for last month. I've been on corporate prl's since the evo 4g and I'm good still. I rarely roam though and I'm on wifi when I'm at home.

You've got to keep track of your roaming regardless. I've gotten pretty high up on roaming some months just from using a normal PRL. The corporate PRLs, more so. I'm sorry to hear that you had that happen to you though.
Did your mother be like I told you so you little turd head? Lol
They did the Same to me but i also used 5gb of roaming. Now i am trying to sell my EVO3d and shift. I switched to att and love my Samsung note and i get 5 gb per line not to bad i just have to slow down a little.

isn't getting cancel a good thing?
I got a formal letter from Sprint a few months back stating that if my data roaming continued they'd cancel my account.
I was using the 11115 PRL + the Force Roam option I added in Warm TwoPointThree. About 2gb of data roaming a month. (98% of my data was roaming)
I have since stopped force roaming..
data roaming......that is something that seems the trend here.
i assume they ALWAYS warn before canceling right?

I never seen my phone go to roam. I used 11115 on my EVO 4G also. I don't know how much I was using I will try and find out. It kinda worked out my bill was like 150 amonth and now its only 60 to add 2 phones to my moms. And they wiped out my bill but still a pain in the ass.

No, they don't charge for roaming. Unless you are international roaming, then that is different.

They will charge you for voice roaming. I had that happen to me.
I dont know if I exactly get the reason to use those other PRL?

I've never been charged for Voice Roaming within the USA.
Sprint is great if you don't abuse it
Whoa, this whole time I thought they did charge you. I stayed in a cabin in North Carolina once where I had no signal and I disabled my roaming in fear I would get a heavy bill when I got back. Thank you for the heads up.
If you get a voice roam charge call and they will wipe it no questions asked. They blabbed something about its an issue with their billing. Yep sure...
What is the difference between a normal and a corporate prl?

How much did you use?
My phone will disconnect 3g and just stay off till I reboot or go in and manually turn off the internet connection and turn it back on..
Sprint is trying to tell me that everybody is having the same problem and there should be an OTA sent out to fix the problem..
Thanks

Mine does it as well . Don't know if its the phone or sprint working on the towers . I called and they told me they were working on towers in my area. They said they shut one off and the other towers around there have to pick up for the one that's getting worked on. But its annoying

Yep, I have the same problems. The 3G connection is a joke. I was dealing Sprint yesterday to get my phone replaced and the guy asked how I liked it. I told him the 3G connection sucks and he said they were working on the towers.
I think it's bull****. I just love paying for ****ty service.

I've replaced my phone twice! I'm glad I'm not he only one that's having problems..
Another problem I'm having..
Weather widget won't update(everything in enabled) and I'm getting roaming notices every 20 min.
How do we know when LTE is live on the phone? Does the icon show?
Yeah having the same issues as you guys. 3G will just suddendly drop & I'll start roaming for no reason. I'm not doubting that Sprint is working on the towers but it is also something going on with this phone because my wife's E4GT is having none of these issues.
LTE shouldn't have anything to do with our 3g connection should it?
If they are goofing with towers than maybe. I'm just curious how do we know when Lte is live on our phones.
Ever since I tried unlocking the bootloader and installing a recovery my phone will not connect to 3G. It will either have no data connection at all or 1X. I have done so many update profiles and update PRL's and nothing seems to help.
The only way I can get 3G to come back now is if I set the network mode to "CDMA Only" then 3G comes back, but when I first got the phone I had it in "CDMA/LTE" and 3G was fine. I don't know what to do now.
Having the exact same 3G issues as the rest of you. Sprint had me reset the phone provisioning with the MSL code, do a PRL update, and Firmware update and nothing worked. My 3G down speeds avg. 0.24 Mbps and cuts out every now and then. The Rep said she would call me back today to see if the changes helped. The bad thing is we are all patient about not having LTE yet but it is ridiculous that our 3G speeds are the worst in the business now and almost nonexistent. ATT, T-Mobile, and VZ should make a commercial saying who cares if you have unlimited data when you have the slowest data and barely have data.

Ive had it to where 3g is on, dies then turns on in 3 min....Duval County Jax fL i presume?
I have both the SGS3 and the EVO 4GLTE. I switch between the two phones every now and then. The problem is when I activate the evo via the Sprint website, I get the constant error code 67 message. Doing a ##scrtn# or ##rtn# reset doesn't help. It goes through the activation but data doesn't work. I can make phone calls...
When I activate the SGS3 I don't have any of these issues.
How do I get data to work on the evo 4g lte without having to call Sprint tech support?
Have u tried updating profile and prl? Long shot but it worked for me in similar situation

Yah I tried this but it didn't work.
Data Call Failures.. How I hate them. My first EVO failed when updating profile, and I lost data and texting for good on it. No EPST codes would work with it, nothing would happen.
I would suggest bringing it into a Sprint store.

Yah but I don't want to do that all the time when I activate the evo 4g lte. Also kinda afraid that the will update the hboot.
Very weird this time when in switched over, I was able to do with ##scrtn# and activated and provisioned properly and data is working.
Last night I decided to try to update my prl through the updater in Sense and I got an error code 1233. Called sprint tech support and spent an hour trying to get it fixed. The tech ended up just sending me a new phone, which a huge buzz kill because I've had hboot 1.12 since the beginning with s-off. Was running toasted-deck from irc, and I don't know if that had anything to do with my phone getting screwed up so I figured I'd ask if anyone else has had this problem? I want to unlock this new phone when I get it too, and I'm really going to miss TD if this is a common problem.
I got the same thing while trying to update my firmware.

I was getting this too. I had to run an errand up to another major city north of where I live. While there, I figured I'd give it a shot again, and it worked there. If you get the opportunity, try running it in a different area from where you tried.
I'm surprised that they are sending you a new phone for this.

I searched high and low for a fix before I even called Sprint Tech. Any chance you can point me in the right direction? I'll just send them their locked down phone back if I can fix this one.

Unfortunately I did try in a few different areas. I live in Cincinnati and go to school in Dayton, but got the same error in both places. I really wonder how this even happened because I never had a problem running AOSP on my OG EVO so I don't think that could be it.
I had this happen on my 3D and when it did work it only connected to Verizon....weird I know and even the tech couldn't believe but I did a data reset on it and never had that problem again.

So I was on stock with goodies and just out of curiosity switched to mean rom to try and activate my phone. The activation went off without a hitch and now my phone is working perfectly again. So pumped.
if u were able to do it before then all of sudden u can't, it must be sprint

I had the same problem a few days ago. I was Running CM10 and switched over to Stock w/ Goodies to update my PRL and Profile so i can take advantage of LA's new LTE network but i kept getting that error. I ended up unrooting and relocking my phone and restored to complete stock after that it updated fine the first time. I doubt being rooted prevents you from updating either the PRL or Profile.
I was getting the same error code at work. I googled the code ansomeone said it was a connection problem. I believe this because I never get a good signal at work. When I got home my prl updated. I'm on meanrom.
Easy Fix
Turn off WiFi and LTE radio (CDMA only) and try it. You should be able to update the PRL and Profile.
As "zAcHcOmA" mentioned, I also gave them a Thanks for it.. I had the same issue with "Error Code 1233".
My problem started when I noticed every incoming call I tried to answer thru the Handset would basically act as if I missed the call. Seems I didn't have an issue answering through Blue Tooth though. Not exactly sure what is causing this. I'll keep an eye on it after updating my PRL & Profile. Anyways, I did the following and was able to update both PRL & Profile..
1. Make sure Wireless is off
2. Set network to by going to Settings - Mobile Data - Network Mode "CDMA only"
3. I was then able to update both PRL & Profile through System Updates and I then rebooted my phone.
I'll now find out if my issue is resolved or if I still have on going issues.
So I installed the Google Edition rom on my GS4, and everything worked fine. Then I had the brilliant idea to call *228 to reprogram my towers, and I lost all 4g connection.
I restored back to my stock rooted rom, and used Phone Info to see if I can get 4g back. When I made Phone Info do LTE only, I got 4g LTE connection, and it passed the ping test, but I switched back to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) and it goes back to only 3g connection.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Dialing *228 doesnt do anything for 4G. The cell towers are automatically updated via your sim card.
