Anyone know how I can get roaming to work? I'm rooted, s-off with 1.58 hboot. Whenever my phone switches to roaming, I can't make/recieve calls nor texts. However it shows 1x for data. Ive tried prl update, different roms and hard reset and none have solved the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated

At least your phone switches to roaming. I have to manual switch it, automatic mode doesn't work. Have you tried switching to Roam only mode? Are you on ICS, I wonder if the ICS update Borked roaming or sprint is trying to pinch pennys by making it difficult.

Id rather have 2 manually switch 2 roam, just as long as it worked when in roaming. I dont have the option in the rom Im using now and yes I have an ics rom. Yeah I think sprint is trying 2 pinch pennys. Even their service is getting to suck. 3G hardly ever works and calls are hit and miss to make/recieve and constant fail txt

I do go in like 4 diff houses daily, satellite installation tech
I am in a chat with them now, I called and they told me take it to sprint, WTF
I was having this problem to. Calls on Sprint network were fine, but no incoming or outgoing while roaming. I had my wife's phone and it was also roaming, but working fine. I called Sprint and they had me do a battery pull then a profile and prl update. I don't know if they did anything on their side, but it is working again.
same thing happening to me. ill try batt pull and update and when roaming again test it and check back in.
Same thing happened to me, in addition to getting a error code 64 class 2 (Radio Interference Resource Shortage) when I tried to send a text message.
I called Sprint and the rep had me pull my battery while she did some reset. It didn't work. She then transferred me to tech support that remotely reset my phones data. That fixed my problem.
Does anyone know anything about this prl? I've been using it for about a month, and get very good data speeds using it. But, I don't know anything about it, and I don't wanna get in any trouble over it. Could someone please enlighten me?

That is a Verizon PRL, and while you won't incurr any additional charges from Sprint for using it, you could end up having your contract terminated.

Yep, your phone is on Verizon full time so according to your device your not roaming, however according to Sprint they see you using a different tower then they brings out the big guns and cancel you like a bad tv show, you might get by for a month or two then you will get the letter of doom.... My advice go to a different prl.....
Sent from my clean sharp shooter
I spoke with retentions today and they told me that you have to be roaming at least 80% of your bill for a couple of months to get a termination letter. I suggest just using it when u need it. If it is in your house get an airave.

Yes, my wife & I have been having issues now for 7 to 10 days. They keep telling me all is well with our accounts and the local tower. Go to the Straight Talk forums and you'll see that a bunch are having problems. It's to be enough enough to make me want to go back to Simple Mobile and save $5 a month but only have 2G.
If we flash the tmobile radio we should get 4g on their service, shouldn't we with the Note? Simple mobile that is, sorry if that wasn't clear.

The data connection is back
I have been experiencing some intermittent connection with Straight Talk (AT&T sim card) in the last week, but it looks like the service back today. I can connect to internet normally now.
Keep in mind that Straight Talk does throttle data if you are a heavy user. They will deny it through and through but it's very true. I was with them for quite some time and all was well until my speeds began to average at about 120-200 kbps. And keep in mind that I'm not even a heavy user. I called them multiple times and they denied that anything was wrong with my account but I'm not stupid. I was getting speeds around 4-5 mbps in my house and all of the sudden I'm getting speeds that resemble dial up speeds. Luckily enough, I use Google Voice so I didn't have to worry about losing my number so I decided to try out H2O. Dear Lord has that been a nightmare. I paid 60 bucks for 2 gigs and unlimited talk and text and wouldn't you know, I began being throttled after I used about 300 mbs. So here I am with a whole month left getting speeds at about 150 kbps. I tried getting a hold of them but they didn't pick up and I sat on hold for about 45 minutes. I've gone back to at&t and my advice for all of you would be to stay away from these scams. At&t will let you bring your own phone in and in that respect you won't have to sign a contract. You might be paying a bit more, but at least you're getting what you pay for...

I've got an i777 and i'm having the exact same problems. I've called straight talk a few times on the issue and well they just pretend there is no issue. data will disappear completely for no reason and then come back when it feels like it. I just discovered that forcing the phone to use the edge network restores data connection while connected to edge, but the moment I go back to HSPA the data quits working. from watching the data symbol try to jump from 3G to H+ I notice it just gets stuck at H. My phone will now normally sit with H displayed insread of 3G (data dormant) or H+ (when my using the data connection). This leads me to believe its a fast dormancy issue with them, or maybe i'm wrong. However, from looking over at the straighttalk forums, it appears several are having problems and straight talk isn't doing anything about it. Is this something we could file a complaint with the BBB over?
Ours straightened up Monday. It been good all week. Finally!!!
My texts are delayed and/or coming in batches. Same with the voicemails. This is a HUGE problem. I am S-off, 1.58 bootloader (I think that's the new one), rooted, and using viruses stock rooted sprint ROM. ANyone else having problems? I'm on sprint in the Denver area.
I have the exact same setup and issue with sms. I don't use voicemail so no idea on that. I think it started when I restored SMS from a backup. Have you done something like that recently?
I'm in the Denver area, running Mean ROM, ICS, having no issues with mms, sms or voicemails.

All texts I receive are time stamped about 2-3 min ahead of my phones time so conversations get a bit hard to follow sometimes. I have tried to do resets, purges, different roms etc. I think it is a network issue with sprint... I don't doubt this because when they did tower upgrades here two weeks ago the auto time was set at PST and I live in Houston... It took a few calls to sprint before they would even acknowledge a problem and fix it.

They upgraded the network and it's so fast now that the texts travel forward in time. It's Network Vision!
In all seriousness, my phone will make me manually set my time zone occasionally as it can't get it from the network.

How are your settings in menu/more settings? Network? Is data roaming checked? How are you writing these prl?
Roaming settings are checked, I unchecked roaming guard. Roaming is set to automatic. I'm using JellyBomb rom. He has the PRL menu under Settings. I select Write PRL, and select my PRL. It reboots, then I get the no data established error.
