I've recently flashed Jokersax's unofficial cm9 to my phone .... i only receive 1x.
I decided to flash spleef's [MIiui.us]MIUI/ICS port [unlocked] and i am receiving the same problem.
Same issue with all roms flashed from Kitchen sink.
Same issue with Paranoid Android, which is what i'm currently running.
When i flash my Stock backup, i get 3G back.
My unlocked bootloader was suppose to only disable 4G so i know for a fact i am missing something or doing something wrong.
I did some searching and found that a specific Sprint business PRL MIGHT help. I am not sure how i would get this PRL file on to my phone because i cannot enter edit mode by using the ##MSL# from the dialer. I've already added the PRL file to my SD card.
Please go easy on me if this info is out there already... i do a LOT of research (hours and hours) but sometimes i just can't find it and i know that people love making others look like idiots which is why i say this. I've searched forums that seem related to my issue/ROM and found nothing. I searched them with the keyword "1x", which is how i found the possible fix with the business PRL.
Thanks in advance for all help.
It might not be a problem. The stock roms, all except peetr's 2.3.5 rom, will incorrectly register the 3G icon on the bar. Check the your phone's network status. If it says CDMA- EVDo rev. A, then it is a problem that it says 1X. if it says 1xRTT then its fine as its just 2G
Exactly what post above says, also to flash to PRL you can't simply put it on SD card and use dialer codes like you can some other devices, you have to use QPST to flash it. If your really interested on flashing it theres a tutorial floating around here on how to use it, I personally run the 01115 business PRL

Thanks for your quick response, i really appreciate that...
BUT, Settings>About Phone>Status> Reads that the Mobile Network Type is "1xRTT:6"
So based off what you said i should be at least 2G speeds regardless of the indicator .... But what about 3G? I am not always around WiFi and could really benefit from the use of it since i can no longer receive 4G =)
Thanks again in advance !
On joker under mobile network change system select to home only

Like photon4glover said, if you're and change the selection, you'll stop force roaming on Verizon's 2g network that you're PRL forces you to. If you cant get a good Sprint signal and you're roaming anyway, I suggest you flash a different PRL like w0lf215 said so that you at least roam on their 3G network. However, you may be booted from Sprint for excessive roaming

I'm having a hard time understanding why I have to flash a business PRL to get this working properly on every single ROM except stock. I've flashed several phones before without having this issue.
My settings are set to "Home" as suggested. I do not want the possiblity of something happening and having to call and deal with sprint because of some roaming issue. No offense to all the Sprit lovers out there.. but hopefully flashing this business PRL will fix this issue.... I must admit, though... this phone is not as "user friendly" as the others that I've flashed and played around with.
I also have a problem with MMS so I'm thinking about using a different ROM.anyone recommend a good well rounded Rom that works out of the box?
Again, thanks for the input

So on the stock rom you're getting 3G Rev.A? I'm just curious since the only custom rom I know might do that is Jokers kitchen sink.

MMS works out of the gate on the MIUI builds I do (latest is 2.6.29). Saw before that you were mentioning Spleef's MIUI...he's been doing AOKP and others for a couple months now. I'm doin MIUI solo now ( ) It's all good. The MMS issue you're probably having is due to an error in your apn-conf.xml file. It's edited correctly in most of the ICS roms except CM9.
If you're looking to do PRL, just flash skinny rev 1 or shadow rom, update your PRL, then flash back to an ICS rom.
It's not bad to work with...just gotta get to know it better. If you have any questions, PM me, and I'll help as best I can.

I was flashed to ROCKO unlocked, and decided that I want to update my sprint stuff cause I wasn't able to on any custom stock ROM, it would stay on "Contacting Network" when I would try to update. So I SBF'd to 198_7 and unlocked again, and I am still not able to update my data profile or prl, still the "Contacting Network". My phone is activate, it just can't update profile/prl.
If I recall correctly, you have to have sprint push the profile update to you. I've read that people, who do stuff like switch roms get flagged in every their system. I think it was something asking the lines of security precaution. I'm pretty sure once you call, they can get your profile updated, then you should be able to update your prl.

^This exactly. Give sprint a ring. If thats still a no go try letting it activate and update through the Sprint Zone activation and updater app.
Thanks guys.
Would I have to lie and tell them that I never root or unlocked the bootloader/flashed other ROMS?
I've looked everwhere in Sprint Zone, and can't find the updater.
I personally have just told them that I was doing an OTA update and it had an issue or something along those lines lol they wont question too much, or atleast never have for me
IDK, I have trouble lying when it doesn't make sense lol. Could I mention that I'm trying to develops apps and need certain permissions etc. ?

Similar Problem Updating Profile/PRL
I am unrooted and for some reason when I go into the Sprint Zone App it tells me there is a Profile and PRL update but if I choose either it gets stuck in "Contacting Network" and all I can do is reboot.
I spoke to Sprint and they made me out an "eTicket" to take to the nearest Sprint "repair" store but I am without wheels at the moment and kinda hoping someone might know whats going on.
The lady I spoke to said that these was a problem with the nearest tower to me, that it was operating at 3/4 efficiency, and that may be why I can't get my phone to update? Has anyone been told this before and is this something that could be the problem or is it just BS?
She said that most likely I would get a replacement when I could take my phone to the Sprint store.
Someone had a similer problem in another thread and a got a reply from someone asking what their H/W version number was. On my phone under H/W version it says unavailable.
Why would that happen and if I could somehow fix that might that be the ultimate fix to my issue?
Any help would be great...This is really the only problem I'm having. I really like this phone. It is a beast. Being in a 4g area is pretty awesome and being able to get constant 8-10 Mb (outside) is worth every penny. In my house during daytime hours I can only get 2-3 Mb but thats pretty damn cool.
If the camera was just a little bit better at taking low-light pics, this might be one of those "near perfect" phones in my opinion.
By the way, everyone that contributes here is awesome. I love this community and all of XDA.
Thanks
hello, I have a rooted and bootloader unlocked htc amaze.
I have checked the threads here but for my wind mobile network, mms is not working.
I am surprised you can have 1 apn for both internet and mms.
is anyone having the same issue or better yet resolved this?
Thanks for any help
I have the same problem, i tried putting in APN Settings for Internet and MMS on a telus unlocked HTC Amaze 4G. I suggest you try a custom rom (bulletproof? or energize i think they have the correct APNs built in and with a newer Camera App)
Hm same situation here but I am on mobilicity. Weird it used to work on X's 3.5 sense but on NRG it doesn't.
If ur on nrg rom, if ur not on tmobile u need to manually enter your carriers apn settings

Spent couple hours on phone with Wind tech support and they no help at all. They just told me to do hard reset, then checked my account, all looked OK. They refreshed settings and reloaded things on their end, still nothing.
Try deleting all the apn that are not for your carrier. Shut down phone and do a battery pull, then see if it works. Not sure it will i just saw it recommended in a diff devices forum

Ok. Had the same problem setting up my mom's Amaze on Wind. It did not want to receive mms not matter what I tried. I called in to tech support, battery and Sim pulls. Got frustrated as hell with the locked APNs!
But in the end, the magical key to unlocking mms on her phone was so damn easy....try sending one instead of just testing by receiving them. Don't know why I hadn't tried it sooner. Also don't know why it worked. I just assumed it initialized something within Wind's backend. After that, it receives perfectly every time!

thank you to all whom have replied, however, it is still not working for me.
Could it at all be linked to the ROM?
I am currently on the most recent version of Energy.
I am almost for certain I had it working at some point previous to this but just not sure when (not sure if I was rooted yet or which ROM or maybe I was OEM, not sure).
After you root and put custom ROM on, is it possible the Wind network sees you as a Non Wind phone even if you bought the phone from a Wind store?
Just trying to trouble shoot this.
Thanks for any help others can provide.
My Mom's phone is fully stock. However it had this problem originally. This was the first phone from Wind. Everything else was either Tmo, nexus, or a dev device, but all worked for mms. I have a feeling its on the network side. Call them back and push them to dig a bit deeper.
Mobile Internet on ICS doesn't work.
I was running GB on WIND, with the phone unlocked and with S-OFF. Then I downloaded the T-Mobile ICS upgrade. After the ICS upgrade everything works except Mobile Internet. I tried the WIND APN's to see if that would help, but no joy. Any idea why the mobile internet doesn't work after an ICS upgrade? Wifi internet works just fine.
I also tried to load the WIND ICS upgrade (over the air version) I found on the WIKI (after the fact) but it won't load over the T-Mobile ICS build.
Where are the radio choices for this phone? are there any? i havent seen one!
My friend has had the photon for a while and he has always complained about dropping calls, or sms's not going through, I just got done rooting and unlocking it, flashed CM7 and he said it is worst. Anyone out there got some suggestions?
What version build is on the phone?
Google talk me for help or question. @ [email protected]
well, im not exactly sure what was origionaly on it but I know it was 2.3.4,
but now it has "[KANG][ROM] CM7.2 by Photon Dev team 4-23-2012" on it.
Hmm, is he using it with sprint or another carrier like cricket?
I would just flash him back to stock have sprint update his profile and prl.
And if everything is fine flash custom roms.

Be careful letting sprint update your phone. Once you update to 2.3.5 you will be stuck with a locked bootloader till someone figures out how to unlock it. The basebands (radio) currently used by most roms is the one from 198_7 which is 2.3.4. As far as I know there are only 3 basebands for the photon and none of them make that much of a difference in reception if any at all. Currently 198_7 is your golden ticket for any kind of xda support.

Been using KANG CM7.2 since the beginning on a non sprint network in India. Never had a problem. The rom is almost stable. 99%... And i neither had an issue with the network data nor call drops.
There's a network selection option in
Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Mobile networks -> Network Preference right ??
I have a photon on Verizon and I get 1-3 bars in my basement and once in a while I drop a call but when I leave the basement I get 3+ bars ALL the time. Are you sure you or your friend has strong signal at all ( if possible try another sprint phone).

The photon has one of the best, if not the best radio of all sprint phones. Unless he is in a bad area for sprint then I don't know what to tell ya.

Updating the PRL and Profile is totally different from updating (upgrade) to 2.3.5.
I see the point of the suggestion to update profile/prl, it can make a difference in call/reception quality.
For those who are concerned about going back to stock for profile/prl updates there is another way. When on rooted stock use an app such as TiBu and freeze the upgrader/updater apk's. Then create a nandroid backup. If you need to go back to 198_6 or 7 for whatever reason you are safe.
My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
Well looks like hes SOL, when he first got it I did update the prl and profile and it didnt do much. Figured a custom rom would help. But his photon is on sprint, and his girl has the same exact phone and she has all the same exact problems he has. Like droped calles, and also the phone became very sluggesh over time, one of the worst phones i've ever used, and i've used at least 15 or 20 different android phones on all 4 major carriers foor a substantial amount of time. Sorry to say it, but its just my opinion. So... I think its just a bad area concidering the evidence. But anyway, hes been away for a few days and I cant get to the phone so I can't check anything. Thanks for the reply's though.
So I put the latest .10 ICS leak on my phone yesterday because I can't wait for the OTA since i'm leaving soon. I downloaded the 4G on off app and am thinking I should be able to pop in any SIM card and it should work on GSM. Is the phone unlocked? Also I might need to use my normal Verizon SIM to use in Italy and Spain. The verizon reps said if I left it in it would work just fine. Is this true? I currently don't have any GSM cards to test with and I've been looking everywhere for the answer but no success. Help would be amazing.
Thanks in advance
For full GSM support I believe you need to install one of the custom roms with it added...

With GB or the ICS leak you probably can get basic calling and texts with a GSM cell company sim card.
With the conrom ROM you should also get mms and data to work. Supposedly everything works.
Also, I suspect gsm antenna is not in the extended battery cover, so you should use the standard back cover that came with the phone.
I personally have not tried gsm in my rezound, so the above advise might be incorrect. this is just something I am interested in.
howard
p.s. T-Mobile sells a $1 sim card with 10 minutes of talk time, an internet deal. So you can buy this $1 simm to test with.
p.p.s. You will also need to go into the settings and add the apn settings for the cell company whose sim you are using. data and mms won't work without this.

Thank you so much. I just need calling and data and mms to work. I'm just going to google how to change the APN setting as you said. Thanks a lot for the help man. I have the ICS leak which is supposed to support global roaming straight from VZW.
Well, there is a thanks button you can click on.
I do not know much about Verizon's New global roaming, bit I suspect it will be expensive per minute. Using a local cell company's sim card probably will cost less for long visits overseas.
I wrote an app called HZUTILS which can also do the radio changes like the LTE on off app. My app is free, also does a few other functions, and if you click on an advertisement I earn a few cents.
The CONROM is available in the development forum. During installation one is asked GSM or LTE. no easy switching back and forth. I suggest you make a nandroid backup first with Ramon ra recovery or the touch recovery. Restoring the backup is a method for returning to LTE. Or one can reinstall the conrom and select LTE.
If you look through the development forum you will find other gsm ROMs. The CONROM does both LTE and GSM, was made from the latest .10 ICS leak, and sounds like it is very reliable.
p.s. let me know how this works for you.
Thank you but I don't wanna root my phone really.. I forgot something last time and almost bricked it. Well not really but it was scary. My only question is really can I just switch it from your app as it is now because I can or must I have a custom Rom for some type of reason?

I recall, a few months ago, reading a very long multiple page posting about people having various levels of success with stock GB and changing the radio setting using LTE on off app. People were successful with phone calls and texting, but had difficulties with mms and data.
People did strange things to get data working, and it only worked for some people. I think it involved driving the phone in a car to get somewhere with no cell signal, then back home? Not sure, as I don't recall it very well.
Then people started typing in the APN for their gsm provider. This evening, just for fun I tried typing in the APN for T-Mobile into .10 ICS leak rezound, and it would not get saved. No error message. Verizon appears to have locked out the capability to add a non Verizon APN. So, yes, I think a gsm ROM is needed.
BTW, there must be plenty of rezound owners using GSM who can more confidently give you more concrete advise. They can tell you what they tried, what worked, what didn't, and what is the best approach. I think the answer is a GSM ROM, or paying high roaming charges to Verizon.
Alright ill just try and get a sim off someone on at&t and see what happens. But thanks a lot man I hope I get an answer from someone doing it. You were a lot of help ill let you know how it goes!!

I just received the official Verizon ICS in the last hour. I am poking around looking for the global feature, since it is THE promised reason I bought the phone. Offhand, I do not see the global feature anywhere . Network mode still only shows' LTE/CDMA' or 'CDMA only' as the choices, so it seems that 'global' is still not official from Verizon in the ICS as just shipped.
The LTE ON/OFF app seems to have a few more options than when I last looked, but I've no idea what's may have changed.
I put in a tmobile SIM card and changed the settings in the app to GSM and wcdma and it worked calling and texting! It didn't have data but if you go to mobile network settings and access point names I feel like you could add the apn and be golden using data and mms over gsm. I'm Hoping this is the truth but I don't have anything to test it with

I'm on the leak from three months ago, in Afghanistan. Popped in a sim card from a shop on base and it works with no problems. Calls only though no data. I'm using the extended battery. Had to use the lte on off app to put it in gsm.

Looks like option to switch to GSM is gone. Dialing *#*#4636#*#* does nothing...
that option to show network modes when dailing *#*#4636#*#* is removed in latest RUUs and official OTA, but however you may flash any of ROMs available to get GSM

So SMS worked with the ICS OTA, both send and receive? Last time I tried 2 months ago under Gingerbread, GSM calls were fine, but could only receive SMS text, could not sent texts, and never got data to work.
I've spent over 1/2 of the last 3 months overseas, so this is a big deal to me. Even if just the calls and SMS send/receive work, I will be pleased. VZ told me the global feature is not in this latest Verizon ICS OTA, but maybe the inner workings are there and they just haven't put in the frontend and any VZ profitmaking carrier lockouts?
I am off to South Africa next Friday. Sounds like I will have to get an MTN sim in ZA and try again when I get there. Maybe this ICS OTA will have some value to me afterall. I'll try to remember to post back here, whether it works or not. If it all works, however, I'm pretty sure the posting will only be redundant info, since my screams of giddiness would be heard around the world... afterall, I've been using an old unlocked GSM RAZR flip phone when I travel.

Hey,
I was playing around with a few Custom ROMS today, and my mobile data stopped working. The APN settings are correct. I have flashed multiple ROMS but no luck. Even stock ICS ROM. I think I have the wrong modem/baseband combination.
My phone show H+ or 3G icon, but as soon as I try to use the internet, it vanishes. Wifi works fine.
Any ideas?

Although your apn settings may be correct, they may need updating.
This sometimes happes in the uk.
Maybe if you tried deleting the apn settings out and then ringing your carrier network up, and asking them to sent your correct apn settings to your phone, maybe this could help.
Its not a dead cerainty but always got to be worth a shot mate
If you dont like the THANKS button then just click it to make it dissappear

Had the same issue with my GS3 (I9300) after switching from those Straight Talk Bastards to AT&T:
Whereas Straight Talk simply f*cked up b/c of a collapse of their data network, so I assume (with nobody at ST saying a word for 2 days, of course.. ), it turned out that AT&T actually had deleted my new account - by mistake - after just one week of 'happy browsing'.
A trip to the local AT&T store solved the mystery and got me up & running again.
Unfortunately, though, it took the AT&T folks a while to figure it out, as they are not used to unbranded/international/ unlocked phones wanting to join their US network. (Don't even try to solve this over the phone, if you have a choice).
Kudos to the AT&T staff, though, as they got the problem resolved eventually. It definitely helped a great deal that my phone had been working just fine on their network just a week ago, so I was able to stand my ground and insist that the problem was at their end.
One of the reps - apparently without a clue - tried to tell me all sorts of BS, e.g. that the I9300 would not work on AT&T; that some Samsung phones supposedly don't work with their network... bla bla blub blub...
Fortunately, I knew better and told him so. Otherwise, he may have successfully gotten rid of me; making me search for the problem someplace else (a.k.a. giving me the run-around or making me chase my tail, etc. :banghead: )
Thanks to xda (and the Internet), however, I had all the knowledge necessary to make sure they get it back to work. Now I'm browsing the web again with 7Mbps Down/3Mbps Up speeds, using AT&T's really fast HSPA+ network here in the Chicago Northern Suburbs (close to O'Hare)... Yay!
Good Luck with finding the problem with your data loss issue!! :thumbup:
P.S.: Let me know if you need my APN settings; just for comparison (.. in case you are in the US, too).
Cheers,
AA
