Has anyone figured out how to force Roaming yet??
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Try Roam Control. You can force the phone to roam, stay in the home network, or manage it automatically (like normal).
It works on my LTE.
Link: Roam Control
Look under development forum it is a main post...searching helps should see it in 2 seconds there is a flashable zip too...enjoy!

There is another thread.
*#*#4636#*#*
Then Phone Information
Menu>Select Radio Band>Cellular(800-MHz Band)
That cuts out any PCS roaming if you do that. Roam control is so much easier with just a widget on the screen.

Roam control doesn't seem to work for me on the stock Rom rooted. when I select roam only all it does is disconnect the cell radio for 30 seconds... then it reconnects to a non roaming signal. settings are set to allow roaming voice and data and setting under mobile networks is set to auto (not sprint only).
I am on PRL 25004.

The stock prl probably doesn't have 3g roaming . Idk if the 3g roaming prl's will work with the evo lte Bc of the svdo. Someone needs to put one on their phone and try it out.

You misread. my phone doesn't roam at all.
Another bump with another question. My phone will roam if I select 800 MHz from *#*#info#*#* ... I suspect that by selecting a band I disabled automatic selection of the other bands. is there any way to reset that info without having to do a hard reset?
Or what's the way to reset all radio and provisioning information?

I haven't found a solution to this one yet. Contemplating doing a hard reset today to see if my phone will start to roam again. No shortage of places around here to have it automatically switch over.

Dallas/Richardson area here, having the same problem. Data only working on 4G, nothing on evdo/1x.
Same here on two Thunderbolts in Los Angeles. I actually haven't seen 3G at all since Friday night. Called Verizon and apparently there is an issue with 3G provisioning. They claim they are working on it and that there will be a fix in the next day. I know others say they fixed it with a hard reset but I don't want to do that if I don't have to, especially if its just going to break again later...

Weird. Mine never had that problem.
Did a factory reset now (since I hardly customized my phone yet), and it seems to have fixed the 3G problem. Not only that, but now I have the updated market! (Before the reset, I had the old market)
Go to the market and download Restart Connections. If you lose mobile network after switching to the proper setting, run that app.
Edit: This will also get rid of the need to do a factory reset to regain data connection

it worked for me after a while. i turned it on outside my house and it worked, but for some reason my home wouldnt let me switch
Had a similar issue. Figured out that when I switch from LTE to CDMA (PRL) it will switch to 3g, it can take a while, however if I power off the phone it will not connect on reboot to 3g again have to switch back to LTE and go to 4g and then switch back again. Hope this helps
3g just started working and i did nothing (other than going without internet for hours until it started working).
im blaming Verizon and my local network.
I'm using roam control 1.6, i press roam, i turned off the roaming guards and set the roaming to automatic in the settings, but it refuses to roam. The phone also doesnt roam when theres 0 bars, and there is verizon coverage here. It supposedly works on htc phones without root, but it doesnt work rooted or unrooted

Don't select auto mode in the phone settings after you select roam in the app. Maybe that is causing a problem.

I wouldn't exactly know how to this but I just wanted to let you know be careful with roaming on verizons network. Obviously in sprints eyes that's grounds for dismissal without an eta. It's only so much roaming you can do before you get the boot so be careful.

Not always true. If you live in a former Alltel area, you can roam on Verizon 3G. I get about 700 kbps-1.2 mbps when roaming on Verizon where I live.
This is because Verizon is required to uphold the Sprint/Alltel roaming agreement terms until the agreement ends, and part of the agreement is EVDO roaming in Alltel coverage areas.
I also think that when roaming on US Cellular its EVDO but I'm not sure and I don't know from experience as Verizon (formerly Alltel) is Sprint primary roaming partner where I live.

I use roam control and it barely makes a difference. It roams on US Cellular, I barely have any signal and the data is s-l-o-w.
Roam control does not do the same thing as what he is doing .... When using Verizon prl the network sees your phone as a alltell phone and allows you full access to their network ... Full speed roaming

For kicks, I used the stock PRL for the EVO LTE (24003) on to my Photon. Wow my data flies with it hovering around 1600kbps - 2300kbps down and 500kbps up. I attached the PRL file below with some screen shots. the first on is my status screen showing the PRL version. The second is my Sprint 3g speed. The last is my roaming. Feel free to try it at your own discretion and I'm not responsible if anything good or bad happens to your device.
Here are instructions to manually update your PRL. You'll need to be on a blur based rom and have your phone's MSL.

If you still have service just do as Kevets suggested. (menu>settings>about phone>system update) If not you'll have to flash a previous PRL version that you know was working or RDS to stock.

Probably a placebo effect.
Apparently I am wrong and I will admit it. From everything I saw and read it looked like the PRL did not have anything to do with LTE or the PCS G block.
Driving through Houston or should I say riding through Houston, with an EVO LTE and Galaxy 3. The Sammy is fully stock. EVO LTE is not of course. It has the latest firmware and base with a 12124 based prl. I couldn't get a 4G connection on the evo. I tried everything until the last thing I tried, PRL update to 25xxx. Boom.. 4g.
It makes total sense now. It's based on the MCC MNC records in these prls. Although it has nothing to do with the acquisition records themselves. Maybe it is just hard coded to g block. And later if another carrier is added it would get pushed or hashed to the other carrier like evdo does.
I want to confirm.. Has anyone been able to pickup LTE with a non 24xxx or 25xxx prl?
On another note.. The scanning is fixed on the EVO. I found I had a 4G indicator more on the evo than the galaxy 3. Shocker there. Would have thought it was the other way around.
Need to change my sig to read wimax 4g signal now but technically it is still correct as it will not give you a better signal

Next week, I'm flying from Atlanta to San Antonio, which are both supposed to have LTE. I'll test and report back.
I can confirm that LTE does NOT work with the 12124 prl. I went to an area in my neighborhood that I know has LTE and it only picked up Sprint 3G. However, when I updated the PRL through the settings to 25006, I immediately got 4g LTE.
This is outside the Atlanta perimeter btw.
Prl has no direct impact on CDMA (Sprints own) services nobody ever said LTE was a CDMA service. It makes sense to me that they would need to some how update the phone when more LTE upgrades are finished but that's just me

PRLs definitely impact any CDMA service. That's the driving force for your phone to pick up channels/SIDs.
I've already confirmed with my phone and several other users and including documentation that PRL entries are required for LTE to work. It doesn't work the same as 1X and EVDO scans. If the Geo area in the PRL does not have the MCC/MNC record then LTE will not work in any of the SIDs in that GEO. The LTE is controlled by the MSPL and MLPL files.
Now for the folks that want 12124 but want LTE, you should be running 56006. Here's my analysis on the new range of PRLs:
54006 - is close to 24006 except for about 21 international SIDs removed (includes international LTE records)
16006 - almost exactly like 12124 except for the LTE records included and 800SMR SIDS are higher priority over PCS band (does not include international LTE records)
56006 - very close to 16006 except some international priority changes (includes international LTE records)

Cool! Finally a PRL that give VZW 3G roaming and Sprint 4G LTE. I will have to test for full LTE coverage tomorrow when I'm in Atlanta though. So far I have a little 4G near the end of my neighborhood. Also it wouldn't recognize 4G until I cycled through CDMA and CDMA/LTE mode then it picked up 4G.
But prls do not directly affect sprints own CDMA services, they use prl primarily for roaming. Now they have begun to use it for lte as well, lte is a derivative of gms/utms which is also not a sprint cdma service
