My phone on X note 13 keeps giving me a roaming guard notification because it's roaming and fluctuates from signal to no signal. Anyone else have or had this issue and have an answer. I also can't find update PRL option on X note 13.

Its not originally a sprint rom if you want to update prl download one and use prl helper. ... otherwise go back to stock and update prl and profile

I remember my old droid had an option to download new tower data... how do you do that on the Thunderbolt? Or dont you have to...
Thanks.
i tried doing *228 to update prl's and it backs out of the call. im assuming since its sim based now that option is no longer available. but i never hit 4 bars on lte and wonder if there is another way to update prl's or refresh the network to get 4 bars possibly. bc i use to get 4 bars on 3g at my house, not on 4g now though.

yeah guys, DONT do *228 for the thunderbolt.....it could mess up ur sim card...or so i'm told by work....
It is my understanding that 4G SIM cards auto-update PRLs/roaming capabilities. You can't do *228 from a Thunderbolt anyway - it will auto hang up upon connecting the call.

I am running Stock With Goodies latest version and flashed the Roam Only feature and am currently roaming at my home on Verizon's 4G
Speeds are 5 by 1.5 I have read that this is not possible on our phones because they were different frequencies or radios or something, but I can tell you that it is working. Anyone ever see this?

So, I just turned off "Roam Only" and just found out that LTE is active at my house now!

So there is no roaming on 4g.

I was roaming (only had 2 bars and the triangle, on 4G) When I turned off roaming, Sprint 4G was on for the first time.

I too have seen both the roaming cell icon with the triangle and the 4G icon at the same time while in Roam Only mode. I've never bothered pulling a speed test as I always assumed it was a fluke.
You weren't roaming on Verizon 4g! Impossible, you do realize that LTE and voice are different connections on your phone right. Your data was connected to Sprint 4g and your voice was roaming on Verizon.

That was my impression too. Maybe there is a glitch in some instances where "Roam Only" is choosen and it is only changing the voice connection to Verizon but isn't changing the data connection. Either that or an icon bug when roam only is on.
I have tried the PureG.v2 and the v4.6 version on my Verizon SCH-I545 and each time I tried, the LTE would not connect. it would only connect at CMDA 3G. I tried using the LTE app included in the ROM to connect, but none of the settings would allow it to connect to LTE.
Has this ROM been test on the SCH-I545?
Sounds like you're not in a 4G/LTE area. I'm running the GE rom now and have had perfect LTE since day one. Do a fresh install and don't mess with the network settings. It works fine out of the box.

I have 4G/LTE with [Rom][I545VRUAMDK][4.2.2] Stock Root Odex/Deodex [05/23/13]. In my area they use LTE for Data and CMDA for phone. I don't know if that is normal in other areas.

The same issue with mine - no 4g/LTE just 3G with spotty coverage
I had this problem also. To Fix it I went into mobile networks and under network mode select: LTE / CDMA. Then in the app LTEonOFF from the dropdown box select: LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). Few minutes later your LTE should come on.

I'll give it another try. I really like the ROM speed and how clean it is. Just can't deal with the 3G speed.

Nope, It said LTE:13 for a second, but no data was moving. I reboot the phone and it went back to CMDA 3G only.
Back to my stock rooted Samsung image. :crying:

Hmm. It should show LTE, the network strength bars will be greyed out and show no signal but it'll work. Signal bars not working are a known issue in this ROM atm.
Not too sure on this ROM yet. Have you tried flashing Nitro's Eclipse ROM? Should have the GUI you want with great functionality.

im not on your rom but after my first flash i have been having terrible signal issues
I installed v3 Pure and my phone never showed LTE....always said 3G up top. I never ran a speedtest to actually see if I was getting LTE speeds. The odd thing is my signal bars were spot on accurate. Stayed on 3 to 4 bars all the time.

Yea, its weird because the signal bars work when in 3G, but as soon as you get LTE they gray out. You'll still see the black arrows to know its downloading and stuff but no bars will show. If you only had 3G you have to go into the LTE app that comes with the ROM and select the one I mentioned in my earlier post, I didn't have LTE until I did that.
On my new S4 for Verizon I have 1-2 bars of LTE in my house, however it switches to 3G all the time. And if I go into airplane mode then back out, the LTE comes right back out and I get of 10 mbps download on speedtest, so is their a way I can make it so it doesn't switch automatically? Or to only use LTE?
Thanks,
Dan
Get an app like advanced signal status from the play store. Hit additional info and them device info. Scroll down to where it says CDMA/late auto prl, and change it to lte. Be carefully what u do in the additional info page, u could screw up ur phone. Also lte only doesnt receive calls or texts, so don't leave it there for too long.

I want it to be so I can always have LTE data, but I still want my calls and texts to come through. Your solution is nice but it's not exactly what I am looking for.
Thanks though
The issue of the phone preferring evdo to lte is often caused by a bad sim. You have nothing to lose by dropping by a corporate store and getting a new sim.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I've done the sim thing but my house is the same. 3g most places, 4g by the front window. Lol. I think the answer is gonna be a dev changing the threshold level for swichting. But that's prob only gonna be on a ROM or something similar. As far as I know it can't be done yet. Synergy ROM has some radio boost coding but didn't seem to change anything at my house. Good luck! And start a new post if u figure it out

I have Cricket Wireless also and signal bars can be deceiving, but also have similar issue. On my DNA with Cricket 3-4 bars, while on my G2 with Cricket I get usually 5 full bars at home. I don't see this being an issue at all because the service work good on both phones. No dropped calls or bad data.
If I were you I wouldn't worry about it much unless your getting call or data issues. Also are you on the latest firmware on your DNA and or when is that last time you've updated your dna firmware if ever.
