Does anyone have the evdo settings for ntelos? whats the login information supposed to be [email protected]? I had a htc hero but it screwed up and started saying cellular south. If anyone could look in qpst it would be greatly appreciated! I switched phones and im trying to get evdo working. Thank you!
Do you mean MMS/WAP/BREW? there are no settings for EVDO, your PRL takes care of that. If it's really EVDO that doesn't work (only signal bars for 1X) check over at corolada
Cannot fix nTelos phones that switch to Cellular South!

You tried the PRI fix, didn't you?
Background: HTC Hero has two basic radios, Sprint, and Cellular South. All the minor regional CDMA telcos (nTelos, Apallacian, etc) have their own radios flashed over the Cellular South radios.
If you did the PRI fix, it reflashed the nTelos radio to the default Cellular South settings and locks the radio against changes.
Here's my tip from (bad) experience: Run the Sprint 1.56 RUU and pull the battery as soon as it erases the boot sector. Then head to your nearest nTelos store (preferrably a small one without a repair center or knowledgeable employees). Tell them your phone stopped working. They should give you a replacement. If they ask anything that sounds intelligent about what you were doing, tell them that you were excited about hearing that 2.1 was coming out, and you were checking PRL and firmware updates a couple times a day. Tell them that it looked like it was doing something, rebooted, and stopped working.
I'm still not sure if nTelos reps are extremely customer service oriented or have no clue, but this line of $#!+ seems to work with them.
yea, i meant the apn settings, doesn anyone have them by any chance?

I recently used QPST to enable faster agps locks. By the way I have an alltel htc vogue flashed to cricket. After I used qpst I no longer have evdo. The phone is only working in 1x. Any suggestions?
I don't know the answer, I have the same question. EVDO has not yet rolled out in my area, but last week I was in an area with it 3 times. My phone is set up for hybrid reception, and previously automatically switched over. I notice last week that to get it to go on the EVDO network I had to change the settings to EVDO only. I don't know if QPST is what changed things, but it appears something did.
Thanks for the reply. I have never had a problem, now all of a sudden I cant get evdo. Without it I have no internet, no pic message. This sucks
Maybe it changed your prl is the only thing i can think, try doing an ota update. Or manually adding your areas evdo prl.
Ok all set for somereason it changed my epst settings. So I went back in and manually changed them back. We are all good now. Hey Brute is your vogue on cricket? I am looking for a new rom, any suggestions?

This is the Sprint Evo forum. Maybe try a Verizon forum?
I was thinking someone here already had it ripped out of a verizon phone for their use on the Evo too
HERE are a few Verizon PRL's I keep around. There is a 51926 in there, I think from June or July of this year. Also some 65 series PRL's, but I haven't used any of them. I can verify that at least in Vancouver, WA I get great voice and 3G signal with the 51 series PRL's, cant really tell the difference between them, 518, 516, 517, 519, all good for me. Roaming triangle taunts me the whole time though,
Also, link in my sig for some other PRL's for the VZW 3G hack.

Thanks but i've tried 25 roams through out the month with altel/verizon and I always get 1x with 1 BAR. the only difference is some PRLs show the roam sign and others don't. This one even gave me the Roaming symbol.....What could the problem be????
I really don't know what the issue could be. I know that all the PRL's I linked will roam on 3G, so ???

Well they jump back and forth from Evd and Evdo_A when I sit the phone with 1 bar. But if I try to use the phone it jumps back down to 1xrrt with 1 or 2 bars at times. I'm kind of new to the hacking scene but I think everyone thing is good on my end. Unless there are other things you suppose to do after changing your PRL?
I'm no hacker myself, so at this point I don't know what else to look at.
Whenever I run any of these PRL's, I always have my network set to Sprint only, I turn off data roaming and make sure always on mobile data is enabled. But, even at the worst, I get intermittent data loss, but never get anything other then 3g. Have you tried the 00001 and 01337 prl's from the roam hack thread?
For me, on CM6.1, if I run any of the verizon PRL's, and select Sprint Only in the wireless networks menu, I roam on VZW 3G. If I switch to Affiliated Networks setting, I will drop all signal cause it gets confused I guess. If I change back to a Sprint PRL, and Affiliated Networks, I get good voice signal, but show 1x for data. As soon as I put it back to Sprint only, my data returns to 3g.
On any new froyo sense rom, it's almost impossible to tell. A bug that seems like it may be intentional has popped up. My phone will not show 1x, but only 3g. Even when I'm on a sprint prl, and confirmed to be roaming, which would be 1x, It still shows 3g. I dug into the rom, and the icons are there, they just don't show up on a lot of sense rom's
How are you able to tell what evdo ur on? Are you on an Evo?

Theres a app called Cellumap and Phonestatus in the marketplace. It tells you the network your phone is on and cellular provider.
I'm using the sprint lovers CUSTOM rom. I guess I'll switch to cm6 custom rom like you are using and set it up like you mentioned. so I'll give this a try tommorow(sunday) and report back. but I think it's just the RURAL area I live in but then again Verizon has full coverage according to their map...
yeah, probably just ur area. You should call Verizon and tell them about the issue
You could say something like, "hey, I'm trying to use your expanded 3g service for free, but all I get is 1x. Can you give me an ETA as to when this will be fixed?" That would be fun!
I'll give those apps a try on my end and see what I get.
Well, I'm getting EVDO rev a on most of these. Provider shows digital roaming but still says Sprint. Confirmed speed tests at just under 1mbs and dialing a number without area code sends me to Verizon error message.
That is with the 51 and 41 PRL's.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!

Aw great for you ... well I'm installing this cyanogenmod6.1 custom rom and see what it does on a different rom I guess. If not I don't know what else I could, probably no roaming agreement with Verizon(altell had my area covered before Verizon bought them so Verizon really never had towers here....)
Ah, so that's why you were looking for the newest PRL. I would think you could get it to work with the right PRL.

I have an unlocked Defy from T-Mobile USA that I'm using with my AT&T service, but I'm only getting EDGE wherever I go, no UMTS at all, and I've even heard of people getting it to run on HSPA bands. I know already that HSPA is available everywhere from my home to my workplace, thanks to my Atrix 4G. I've rooted the Defy and it's running Cyanogenmod 7 latest. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I can find nothing on this forum or on Google to remedy the issue.
You should try to change the freq via baseband switcher.And restart.
Maybe you got the "2g only" checked in networks settings..uncheck that.
Settings >Wireless & networks > Mobile networks
You can also put automatic(2G and 3G) mode in GSM/UMTS network preferences.
Thanks for the reply Viper. I just noticed the baseband is set to some central Europe nonsense. Should I change it to one of the T-Mobile USA band settings? There's nothing there for AT&T.
Edit: I changed the baseband to US T-Mobile 3.Something, whichever was latest. 2G only was not checked. I'm still getting 2G only. Could it be my APN settings? Could I copy the APNs from my Atrix?
I'm having a problem with my AT&T connection as well, but I've been using my phone unlocked on the network since March with no problem. I'm new to modding, but OCD about streamlining my electronics. My friend suggested rooting my device and flashing a new ROM. I decided on stock Nordic Froyo, and it makes me so happy not to see all the T-mobile crap in my apps tray.
BUT the collateral damage is not so hot. I have no 3g or even 2g connection anymore. I tried the fix in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944258 and was able to get a signal with 4 bars instead of the previous state of emergency calls only, but no letters like E or 3g and no ability to use the internet/transfer data. I also installed the broadband switcher in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052745 and tried all of the T-mobile US bands. No luck. I did rest the APN to default. No change. I've been using wifi, but will have to go back to work soon. Not having access to the smart part of my smartphone will feel sort of like having an arm cut off.
I'm not sure what to do next. I could try flashing another ROM, but from what I've read in the forums, that's no guarantee.
If anyone has any suggestions to help a noob, I'd be forever grateful.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the link, halah. Do I apply this as an update.zip from recovery? Or install?
Never mind, it won't work for me, for whatever reason.
Ok here's the deal, I have a sprint evo running cyanogen blah whatever. What got my curiosity pumping was that I had this question in my head for quite a while and haven't been able to research anything regarding it.
Ok lets cut to the chase. My evo is obviously sprint oriented, but could there be any way possible tobmake it pick up other towers such as T-Mobile or AT&T, meaning as in their 3G speed, why do I ask this?
Where I'm currently located is a place where Sprint isn't really "Reliable" per say, in fact, we don't actually have 4G towers (WiMax). And I know other companies don't have it either but I'm sure their 3G is the same, I just want to know if there's a way to tweak the phone to accept such signal because where I'm at, Sprint's 3G is terribly unstable and other carriers have it running smoothly.
I think it has something to do with PRL?
Cyanogen
That won't be possible sorry because Sprint is CDMA, while AT&T/T-Mobile is GSM using a different technology and different frequency. You can how though use the Verizon PRL to get faster 3G speeds.
Ok if that's the case, I'm located in Puerto Rico, For some funny reason Verizon has been renamed "Claro". Now if I was to try to find out their PRL, how can I achieve that?
Cyanogen

I'm not sure if the same Verizon PRL that we use here in the states will work but seeing as it is still Verizon, give the PRL file below a try.
http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/add46/00001.prl
You'll have to be on a sense based ROM to upload it to your device.
"Dial ##775#. Enter your MSL into the password box that appears >> hit OK >> tap on the "Update PRL" button. Make sure "All Folders" and "Type: prl files" are selected. You should see the downloaded PRL (00001.prl) on the list; Select the PRL >> Press Menu >> Commit."
Follow the steps above to successfully flash a PRL to your device. If you don't know your MSL code just download MSL reader from the android market (note your device must be rooted).
Edit: Problem has been resolved. See thread linked below in this first post.
Original Post:
Please confirm whether or not 3G data works on your MXPE and report which carrier you are using. If an MVNO, please
report the network affiliation.
I am using Ting on Sprint network and my 3G data does not work.
I described the problem In this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/3g-data-t3233752
I'm working with Ting and Motorola to troubleshoot the problem. I am aware of 3 phones counting mine that do not get 3G data. Trying to ascertain whether this is a fairly isolated problem, if all MXPE phones have the issue, if this is a Sprint issue, or if it is a Ting or other MVNO issue on Sprint.
To summarize: Voice, text, LTE and 1X data all work. 3G data does not work although twice I was able to get it to work for less than 1 minute. It makes no difference if I am in an LTE area or not. SignalCheck Pro mostly reports the 3G data connection as "unregistered" although sometimes it reports it as "inactive". A SIM swap from a Sprint SIM to a Ting SIM made no difference (exact same part number). Various factory resets and carrier wipes also made no difference.
Another symptom is that my phone will not activate unless I have a Wi-Fi connection. Apparently the 3G data connection is needed to properly activate the phone.
Thanks much,
DC
Yes, on Verizon
I'm on Sprint, and when I'm in a low signal area (home), my 3G cycles on and off constantly. I came from a 2013 Moto X and did NOT have this issue. If Marshmallow update doesn't fix it, I will likely sell it and go Nexus 5x.
yes works on Verizon
Sent from my Moto X Pure Edition
Al three, LTE, 3G and 2G work on AT&T.
Looks like I am not alone here.
Mine is Moto X Pure Edition 32GB from Amazon.
I am in Singapore using Starhub.
I have LTE/4G or 3G, but it is like on and off.
Especially when I am on the train and the train goes underground, mostly i am not connected to internet.
It may show LTE or H, when I load FB, it will show me loading icon. That's it.
Hopefully this is a software bug.
It really pissed me off since my old phone Xperia Z Ultra has no issue at all in that area.
Anyone find anyway to fix it?
Thanks.
Thanks for the help. I also posted this request on a couple of other forums and even though the response was limited, there does not appear to be an issue with Sprint which leaves my phone or Ting as the problem.
DC
It works fine for me I'm on T-Mobile. Have you tried going into the settings and searching for cellular network? Because I had a strange issue where my LTE wasn't coming on. I'll post a screen shot of what I'm talking about.
This is in the settings where it says more.
As soon as I push cellular network it starts to scan then a list of providers pop up then I select my provider.

Turning off LTE in mobile network setting. That solve my problem for me. Personally I like to control network mobile manually. My old phone used to be completely manual means I can force my old phone to connect U.S. Cellular(3G) or Verizon(3G) while im in the 1x area.

Yes, I'm very familiar with that menu but it must be different for CDMA carriers. I get a new menu after choosing cellular network and one of the options (Preferred Network Type) is where I can choose LTE, 3G, 1X or Global. Makes no difference which I choose, 3G still doesn't work.
I've returned the phone to Motorola for a replacement.

Just turned off 4g to see if 3g works since I always get 4g where I live. It works fine on Verizon.
I live un chile where the internet its not so good, but with aws i have a great experience

Hi DC, I have the exact same problem as you. Wondering if getting a new phone from Motorola fix your 3g issue?
Thought I would test this since I'm on Sprint. Forcing 3g seems to work fine, downloading speedtest on 3g right now.
I am on MM and did not test on LP.

I haven't received the new phone yet. Motorola took a bit longer than originally thought. The new phone is supposed to be here early next week. I'll report back after I get it activated and tested.

The new phone did not fix the issue. Still no 3G data. What carrier are you with? So far, other than a couple of overseas users, the only people I've found with the problem were customers of a Sprint MVNO.
Since I sent the first MXPE back, I've acquired an Airave because the Sprint signals at my house are a bit weak. Strange thing is that I do get 3G data when connected to the Airave but nowhere else.
DC
Update. After two Moto X PE phones, numerous factory resets, much research and testing, there is now a work around to this problem. The problem does not appear to impact any phones on the big 4 networks. It only impacts phones on a Sprint MVNO.
Thanks to all who participated in this thread.
There are now known eHRPD issues with Sprint and their MVNOs. The work around solution is to disable eHRPD. Sprint is working on changes to eHRPD that may resolve the issue permanently. Thanks to Ting for their persistence in helping get to the bottom of this problem.

3G on Moto X Pure Edition.
Yes it works in some area's on T-Mobile, Does not work sometimes. Wish the range was better.
