PRL Quick Flash - HTC EVO 3D

Has anyone came across an app that can do this? When I get back to the barracks, I switch to a different PRL to get service, then switch back when I go to work. All this, of course, is done manually. But it would be nice if there was a widget that can do it on the fly since you don't have to reboot in order for the new PRL to kick in.

That Would be Convenient, Unfortunately I Don't know of anything that does that for you...

I believe I had the modified epst.apk working on my phone on viper Rom. It includes ##prl# to do it on the go.

I hear ya. Well, it looks like we'll have to get our hands dirty and make one! Hell yeah.

If you hot restart after applying the new PRL via EPST, it will boot faster and you'll be all set. Then of course just manually update PRL in the settings to go back. Not that big of a deal really. I do this at work time to time.

Well see, that's the thing. It looks like it doesn't require a restart. I just update it, toggle Airplane mode, and I'm all set. The commit display eventually goes away. Because of this, I'm think an app can be created. So the search is on!

Never tried that before. But when you update PRL using the stock update menu, it doesn't require a restart. So perhaps an app can be developed. Just need some interest and the right Dev I suppose

Restore missing Phone icon without hard-rest

So I ran across this article today about improving voice quality http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-3d...r-vocoder-settings-improve-voice-quality.html
After trying this method when I rebooted phone, low and behold my missing phone icon was back on the lockscreen! What the heck? Figured I'd better let everyone know my findings!
Any idea why the phone icon disappeared? I got the same prob and I searched for like half an hour thru the phone

If you did the update you will lose your phone icon. You need to go into HTC updates as there is another update available in there if you hav not done that one. It will give you your phone icon back after you update and soft reset your device.
I had to keep checking for the update before it actually showed available.
ota
I did the OTA update and still had phone icon
I did a hard reset and while the phone icon returns, as soon as you cange the lock screen icons, it's gone again. You will have to download the update mentioned previously.

Make sure to go into settings, software updates and check the HTC one. If it doesn't come up, keep checking throughout the day. That is what I had to do after I hard reset when device after taking the 1st update.
You will need the additional software update to get your phone icon back as that update does not stick on a hard reset. It will show up without it, but once you change it will not be available again like mentioned.
Strange... You may be right though my icon is back

[Q] Problem receiving picture mail

I bought my Evo4G LTE about two weeks ago and immediately rooted it. I have S-off with lazy panda and am running CM10 JB rom. Throughout the first week everything was running just fine. I could send and receive picture messages and MMS using both 3G and wifi. However over the past few days this has all changed. Whenever a picture comes in, either on 3G or wifi, the word "downloading" appears greyed out but the message never comes in. I have turned off and back on then back off automatic downloads. I have rebooted the phone, reloaded an earlier nandroid and nothing works. This happened all the time on my OG Evo 4G and I just wrote it off to "being the way it is". But honestly that isn't good enough with a brand new phone. I tried researching this and came up with someone saying to connect to Sprint Zone, which I cannot do because it is a stock app only and let the program troubleshoot for me. I downloaded an apk of this but it will not work.
If anyone has any help with this it would be much appreciated.

Which sense rom do you suggest? So I need to keep one for backup on my phone and switch back over to CM10 after I update? I've only been getting one bar of cell service lately. Is this all pointing to the same issue? Would the prl still be the problem even when on wifi?
Any sense Rom, since its just for updates grab on of the basic stock roms from android development section. All the custom roms are a lot larger due to the various mods and extra stuff

Went ahead and downloaded the stock rom with goodies. Went through settings and updated the prl and profile. Can anyone tell me what the correct prl should be or does it depend on your location? Btw thank you for helping me with this.
Mine is at 25006
I'm on the same prl then. I still don't know what's up. I always have 1 bar of signal and am very frequently on 1x instead of 3g. At the same time my wife will be on 3g with full bars on her iPhone. The part that gets me about not sending and receiving pictures is that I was on WiFi. Should it matter what profile and prl I'm on if I'm trying to receive data via WiFi?

Well most ASOP roms have the issue of intermittent mms not downloading but with that said some sense roms don't allow mms over WIFI and some do. If you aren't connected to WIFI and you still can't download mms after profile and prl updates you can get your msl number and do a data reset and go through the process of reregistering your phone with sprints network and that should solve your issue.

[Q] Can't use anything but wifi, please help!

I was playing with the *#*#4636#*#* menu in CMX and changed my band to Australia. I then lost all connectivity but wifi. I figured I'd just nandroid back to my fully functioning CMX - I was wrong. After restoring the nandroid, the phone still won't connect to anything but wifi.
I then saw this post and flashed meanbean to use the Sense dialer.
None of the instructions worked! When I try to ##786# reset all my data, the phone will do its thing and then boot back up into meanbean and ask me sign in to my accounts.
The DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1 doesn't exist in my build.prop as seen in this post so I can't use the simple method. :crying:
Any help is greatly appreciated. I only have wifi while I'm at work, so in 5 hours I'll be screwed.
EDIT: Almost fixed it! I nandroided back to CMX and tinkered with some more advanced settings. I figured I can't hurt anything more than I have. It's now connecting to the network and 3G, but says it needs activated. Finally, progress!

Thanks guys, I did get it fixed. Once I got some sort of connection reestablished I needed to activate the phone. I called Sprint customer service from my work phone and they refreshed all my data/connections. That allowed me to connect to the network, but not use it (if that makes any sense). I then downloaded the deodexed stock rooted JB ROM from here. After flashing that and booting into it, it said "hands free activation" and then starting updating the PRL before asking me to set up my accounts.
Hopefully my story helps anyone who gets caught up in this issue.
One more thing, upon reinstalling my cmx nandroid, I checked the build.prop file and it had the DEVICE_PROVISIONED=1
I changed it and that's how I got the phone to reconnect to the network (still no use of the signal though at that moment). That's when I flashed to the stock rooted ROM and everything was fine from there.

Is this a CM10/AOKP Bug?

Hello friends,
I am actually a Sense convert, thanks to the combo of CM10 and AOKP, found in ROMs like JellyBam and PAC Man...
The ONLY thing that's making me unable to use those ROMs as my Daily Driver, is the following issue:
1. Turn on 3G and GPS togther
2. Launch map and choose a place to Navigate to (Navigation is launched)
3. EVERYTHING LOCKS PERFECT! My turn by turn is now ready
4. Give it a minute or two on the road and BOOM! The phone loses signal, 3G is cut off, GPS loses its lock, and I am stranded in the middle of my destination
Give it a minute or two... sometimes minutes on end, and the GPS locks again (after signal is restored and 3G returns), but shortly soon after, the issue repeats itself.
Now, can someone please confirm for me that that is indeed a CM10/AOKP bug and all of you have this issue? Trust me, I have tested it in MANY areas, it's not a weak signal issue. If I only have my 3G on, the connection is RARELY lost (probably with bad signal), but when GPS is used WITH 3G, it's almost UNUSEABLE and dangerous to navigate with, due to the loss of attention from the road and losing your turns ALL THE TIME!
I would appreciate any help on people confirming that I am not alone on this one, and that if you guys know any fixes or workarounds for this? I would love to offer a Logcat even, but personally, I have given up on Devs never willing to do that for the issues I have reported in the past. Not complaining, just saying they are busy or just don't want to help me with Logcats.
Thank you and I hope everyone is well. Appreciate you guys reading the message.
I've been on cm10 for over a month and have never had that problem. I've used navigation for 2 hours straight without a hitch.
Are you on the cm nightlys? I use the irc builds.

I am suffering from the same issue, it persists for me on all CM10 builds and JellyBAM. I think I did what you said, but the bug did occur again (while using nav, gps and 3g signal goes out for a few minutes). I just wanted to double check what you were suggesting. When you say menu, reset, do you just mean reseting the phone after installing the GPS status and toolbox, or is there a menu option in GPS status and toolbox I'm not seeing?
Thanks,

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe I'm being stupid (I hope I am), but I do not see the reset option when I hit menu from within the app. I see Tools, Share, Radar, and Settings. Is it the Tools-> Manage A-GPS state -> Reset?

Yea I'm thinking that's it. I'm not a 100% sure as I've not had this issue or a need to use the app. However that would seem to be it. If that fails look threw the settings for anything that has the reset option. Also being cautious is never stupid. Hope this helps.

Help-My S4 is stuck in roaming mode :(

So I foolishly tried to flash the gt-i9505 miui rom to tinker with it. I added the files that was in the OP on that thread and got it to boot up but didn't get any further than the setup screen. I had also flash Chronic Kernel alongside it because when I didn't add a kernel it wouldn't boot.
Decided I needed to start fresh and I odin'd back to stock recovery w/out root and now my phone is stuck in roaming mode. I cannot activate my phone at all...when it goes to setup wizard it asks me to press 1 to complete activation but I can't pull up the dialpad to press 1 to activate.
Did I screw up my radio on this? I have a replacement coming but I won't get it til Tues I was kinda hoping to fix this myself since Verizon tech couldn't fix it.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm stock vmdk right now.

I wish I would have thought of this sooner before I flashed the new baseband on it It's getting replaced Tues I just wanted to see if I could fix it myself and thought maybe updating the phone to the new build would have worked (it sure didn't) Thanks for the idea and I'll keep this in mind should it happen again (it better not though)
It will definitely happen if you switch between stock and aosp. If you choose one or the other stick with it. I know it's hard but it will save you a lot of headaches.

i'm unfortunately in the same boat here. I was trying to decide between an AOSP and TW rom, screwed up my network connection, and then somehow thought Odin with ME7 update would be a good idea. It sounds like this is just a network settings issue, is there anything that can be done with root and the terminal or some other setting/configuration change?
Please help, thanks in advance for any leads to fix this...
I'm sorry but without a custom rom I doubt you can get to CDMA subscription setting and switch it to the proper value. Look it up maybe someone has a solution that would work with stock.

Meh, after a good debloating workout it's not so bad. It's nice to not worry about a random FC, only downside is just preference for some of those visual mods and themes...who am i kidding, I can't wait until Safestrap is rolling.
So now i'm wondering what mods I can use with factory recovery...anything that isn't a full rom should still work...right? I'm a little worried of messing it up again, but I feel like some of the tweaks out there should be possible while running stock.

Yeah I thought the ME7 update would fix my issue with my phone but it didn't...sadly my replacement phone has wifi and bluetooth problems and all I done was root it (which has NEVER happened to me) Verizon sending me yet again another replacement. Glad to hear you got yours fixed though. Hopefully this thread will help the next person out who ends up with this issue
You can try to deploy 3minit framework but you would have to do it manually since you cannot flash it. If you manage that without breaking it than you should be good without the custom stock rom.

No promises but...
First, root
Then, enable hidden menus
Finally (I'm not sure yet, waiting on someone to get back me about if this was the fix or not) from the dialer type ##RTN# and at the menu tap Reset, then reboot, double check your network settings, and then come back here and verify that it was the rtn menu that fixed the issue so the next guy who comes along knows what to do...
It's kind of ironic how useless official support is, I spent hours on the phone and hours digging through xda to get my fix...support did nothing, xda helped with everything
