Is anyone having problems with roaming lately? My phone keeps bugging out and saying I'm roaming one second then saying i have full bars the next. Anyone have any idea what may be happening?

Awesome response, very informative.
I had the evo 4g before the 3d and find that I do roam more with the 3d, but never have an issue where it would just switch back and forth like that.

I thought it may have had something to do with that update that was pushed out. I manually updated my prl and profile and it said an update was applied but no change. Rebooted a few times and it calmed down and when back to normal. Hopefully a temporary thing. I have great signal where I live so I bummed me out to see that I was roaming all of a sudden.

I have had the same issue with the 3D as well . I can be in a Sprint coverage zone and it will jump to roaming for no reason at all . I can honestly say my EVO 4G never did this . Dont get me wrong I like the 3D but signal issues and so forth Im missing my 4G more and more lol .

Does anyone know if you can still get the Evo 3d using verizon coverage? I have no service at my job with sprint and wanted to know if this is still possible. Thanks

I dont think there is .. I haven't seen anything like it.. I dont think the phone can be compatible with Verizon.
Sorry
There is a force roam mod floating around here somewhere. You'd better be careful playing with stuff though, Sprint is getting pretty gung ho about offing contracts for too much data roaming.

You can force your phone to roam by using a verizon PRL but Sprint will drop you after awhile
Why not try and get an airave for your office?

2nd both the airave and force roam app.
I would laugh if Sprint dropped me for roaming as I have 8 lines on my account plus the airave and have been with Sprint for over 10 years. (Ask the big three how laying off their customers is working out for them)
Try to make sure that you do not pay for the airave and make all the other Sprinters at work at least take you to lunch before you let them use it.

Like stated earlier, using the 00001 Verizon prl constantly is a bad idea if you want to stay with sprint.
HELP. Ive been on 1115 vzw prl for bout 3 days and used alot of data. I checked my usage on sprint and its all sprint 3g not roaming that i used. So am i using vzw or not.

The 1115 PRL is a Sprint PRL.
The only VZW PRL we can use on our phones is 0001.
Ok thanks

let's get the number of digits correct:
11115 - sprint prl
00001 - vrz prl

ha what PRL did you change to?.....if its one of the VZ based ones on the forum here just be careful as Sprint will not think twice to hit you with a little letter when you go over the roaming allotment...
Sprint's data speeds are so crappy, don't expect you speed tests to be similar. And upload speeds are usually never as high as download.
And yes, be careful if you flashed a Verizon PRL not to go over 300mb a month.
Prl 11115 I don't think I'm.ever in roaming, how would I see if I am

Think thats the Sprint Corp PRL....though I could be wrong...
You should always know exactly what your flashing and adding into your device before doing so btw, so you should know exactly what PRL you have to be honest...
I yep it is for Sprint corporate. And I understand that I was just trying to give insight to those in my area that my data speeds went up. My apologies for not researching enough. Moderators please close thread

I am also in Spokane, we only have 4G in the downtown area and along Sprague Ave out to the valley... I have tried a few PRLs but I don't think they make a real difference as far as speed goes
See I didn't even know we did, now I do and get one 4g bar weak lol

So I'm on the phone talking to this sprint rep cause I was having terrible data with perfect signal strength, he said to try and turn on 1.9Ghz 3g and that was all he would say, any more and it would be like rooting the phone and that got me curious as hell, what really are our phone's capability??? And anyone found this setting yet? He said it was somewhere by debugging but I can't find it...

If you wonder what those service techs are thinking it's just gonna cause headaches. For the record I'm a CDMA switch tech and half my co–workers are as much in La La land as the service reps/techs.

I remebered an old trick from when the evo first came out where it was for some strange reason running in a gsm/cdma hybrid mode, or so the diag screen says, and if you change it to cdma only the data speeds were improved. I'm no network engineer so i'm not sure how that works, but for our phones if you click on mobile network itself in settings, the network config menu shows the radio mode as LTE/CDMA as default. I was having horrible speeds, maybe topped out at 200kbps on multiple tests, switched it to CDMA only, and was getting the same speeds as my OG evo, still a paltry 600-800kbps, but that is at my home where the 3g speeds have always been like this. Give that a try, and note that the setting doesn't stick if you reboot.
This just started happening a few days ago. Mobile data drops out..no 3g or 1x. Seems to happen on multiple roms, think its a sprint issue. Anyone else?

It's just a 3d issue I'm afraid...when I go from my 3d to photon, I notice better 3g connection

I've never had any issues like that. In fact I get service where I didn't before. Then again I'm bypassing sprint proxies.

Try calling sprint and have them reset your signal.

Did you happen to flash the vm firmware? That could cause your described issue.

What are you using to bypass the proxies? Where I live 3g is horrible and lately 4g is getting worse

Welcome to Sprint's 3g lol
Yea sprint is whack in some areas.. some areas it's decent. T-mobile 3g is always consistent and heck even faster than sprint 4g sometimes. They need to improve service because it's not reliable.
Its been like that for me since my release day OG...

soo sloow
will drop pick up in a couple days or get another carrier like Verison, flash Evo 3d to Straight Talk
yeah... sprint 3G has sucked for me for like the last 6 months. I think they are intentionally throttling down and degrading 3G quality in towers where 4G is available. that seems to be the trend I am noticing. This way, it encourages us to move off of those channels and free up traffic for others who dont have 4G. Just a theory. But my worst 3G speed / signal is in areas where 4g is available.
I broke my 3d and had to reactivate my old Hero but i cant get any data cuz the area where my account is active (Dallas 469 area code) is having issues so even all the way down here in houston i cannot get my phone to provision on the network because its pulling from Dallas where the problem is. So i have no data at all!!!! Rep said it would be next friday b4 its fixed but they will credit for the time im without data. WTF?
Sprint offered
received READY NOW service today hard reset, wipe and slate test. I'testing
I'm in an area with decent Verizon coverage and I force roaming and all I get is 0-1 bars of 1X. Is there a trick to getting 3G while roaming?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
1. Don't do it.
2. No really, don't do it.
Sprint will give you a nice fat boot for Christmas if you try to force roaming.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
You would need to flash a Verizon prl and like its been mentioned, not a good idea. Sprint throttles first, send a polite warning and then terminate if you continue to roam.
I was more talking a setting I'm in PA hunting and I know Verizon gets good service here. If we're supposed to be roaming on Verizon, why do I get nothing?

Like he said, you'll need to manually install a Verizon prl to do it But in all seriousness, I wouldn't try it... Once upon a time I tried a mod to force Verizon roaming on my old HTC Hero and promptly got a letter from Sprint less than a week later. It's just not a smart thing to do.
