Cellular South issue with all auto PRI ROMs

Ok, As most of the Cellular South Users know, the auto PRI feature does not work for us. When we install a ROM with this feature, we get "Hands Free Activation" errors on start-up, we experience data loss with a data connection error that appears at random, etc. What I want to know is, how can you remove this feature from the ROMs? I want to use Fresh 2.0d, but this problem is getting on my last nerves. I understand that making ROMs aren't easy, but there are more than just Sprint CDMA heros out there. I would actually like to start a Cellular South Specific ROM. Could someone please inform me on how we can remove this new "Auto PRI" feature designed for Sprint? Also, if anyone is with Cellular South, and would like to team up and start a Cellular South Hero Development team, let me know! THANKS!
EDIT: This is the exact error that Cellular South users get at random times
Data Call Failure
Error Code 65 .Unknown error. Sign in failed. Please try again. If the problem persists, turn your phone off then turn it on again.
That started ONLY when I started using Auto PRI update ROMs.

For the record... I have always put in my roms that it is only for Sprint CDMA Heros.
Are you able to tell me what PRI the cell south heros are supposed to have? You may need to look at one that hasn't been flashed with anything.

Try this:
##DATA# (so ##3282#)
You'll need your MSL six digit code to get into the edit mode.
Tap on Data Profile
Scroll down to the bottom and change the DSA Server URL to be just https://
Also, for the record, I'm not on Sprint myself. I'm on GCI Wireless in Alaska. Everytime I flash Fresh2.0d to phone on our network I get that "Hands-Free Activation" but when I do the steps above it doesn't happen again on subsequent re-boots. Although, I usually remove ALL of the Sprint bloat-ware as well so I don't know if it's the steps above or removing the Sprint apps that's actually stopping the activation screen from returning.
Useless Sprint apps that I always remove:
Sprint_Core.apk
SDSA.apk
OMADM.apk
IQRD.apk
HtcIQAgent.apk
sfl-prod-release.apk
I'm also using the Auto PRI from Fresh 2.0d and I have not had any problems with it. The PRI shouldn't be affecting your data connection at all. PRI, in the wireless world, stands for "Product Release Information" and contains both product release information as well as some authentication measures that can be used by the carrier for their network specific applications. Your actual connection settings are dependent on what is entered in the programming in the ##778# ESPT programming. You might want to look there and make sure your home SID/NID are correct and that under security you have the correct user/pass info for 1x and EVDO. I'm sorry, I don't know what these are for CellSouth.
*EDIT* Per a PM exchange with Avalaunchmods: Also the pri for android is the base of radio.img and some things are not utilized correctly if the pri is wrong. It's possible for some carriers the PRI is more important than others but I can tell you this, I've tried FIVE different PRIs on my Hero and never had issues with any of them. The only times I've had issues are when an RUU or performing the factory reset have messed up my EPST programming.

Exactly same i flashed 2.02d from Fresh and i lost Data in almost all ROMs comming from ERIS and Sprint Based (Damaage and Fresh)
Then again i Settle to 1.73.003 PRI came from 1.5 RUU but Data is working only in 1.5 and not in 2.1 ROM Strange
I am on Reliance India Mobile.

Invalid Sim Sprint CDMA Hero??

Has anyone else had there hero say invalid sim card when rebooting?
Mine goes away and then "sprint"replaces it.
Im curious because whenever i try and and do internet sharing i get Error Code 67 Registration failure pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect.
I have no idea if these two problems are related very confusing...
I called sprint and got my MSL code and did a user name reset then profile and prl update.(not sure if its the same as MSL reset)
Also could it be my PRI?
Not sure if this helps but i have:
Fw, 2.1-update 2
build, Fresh rom 2.0d
baseband, 2.42.00.03.10
Sw, 2.20.651.1
PRI, flipz_01
PRL, 60664

i noticed this today for the first time.... my phone all of a sudden had a ton of force closes then rebooted and during the reboot process i saw the invalid sim card display... weird
and im on dc 2.0.7.2 with the treve jit mod

invalid sim is normal, internet sharing doesnt work on the 1.70 pri.

Ok fill me in im obviously a noob.
Is invalid sim normal because of the rom i have?
How dose a person find out which pri they have (1.70, 1.68, 2.10)?
why doesnt usb teathering work on certian pri's do i need to fix my pri?

Invalid SIM is normal on Fresh, I think it's because of his AutoPRI script on boot up, but I can't recall why specifically it does it.
If you are running Flipz_PRI then you really can't tell what you should be at.
If internet sharing doens't work for you, then you are likely on 1.70_003.
As far as I know there is no way of spoofing a PRI to get MNS to work. However you could call sprint and ask reallllly nicely to give you MNS, maybe the support rep will be in a good mood.

@ abcdfv and kcarpenter thanks for the quick replys.
in respose to getting MNS working by sprint. I was unaware this was something that could be added. I thought if you have the "everything" plan unlimited data is included.
Im guessing this costs extra? if so ill stick with the wireless teatehr for root users unless someone can suggest a better solution

flashing an Eris ROM will break your pri. Fresh will automagically fix it again though.
edit: breaking your pri will enable wired tethering.

Easytether or PDANet in the market. I have used PDANet my self, but it honestly kind of sucks. Not the speeds or anything, but because you can't let a big download go for a while because it will randomly drop the connection. Which I think is just a design flaw, not necessarily a problem for general browsing.
I am not even sure if easy tether works on our phone.
There are a few apps in the market that want you to setup an OpenVPN connection on your laptop and use it to connect to the phone and use its data connection, but that seems overly cumbersome for what you are trying to accomplish.

i think this is an issue on most 2.1 roms. this is why we need the final released. doesn't hurt anything, it's more of an eye sore for a minute until the sprint text loads.

I was gunna say. I think its on most 2.1 roms. Maybe because we still have bits and pieces from the GSM hero like we did on 1.5. I would say its gunna be fixed in the official like fixxxer said.

ok good because i was considering flashing back to a 1.5 fw, reseting my MSL updating my profile and prl, then flashing back to a 2.1fw.
Sense this stuff is normal i'll quit complaining and wait for the official rom to be release and moded by this great fourm.
thanks guys

Has anyone ever lost data connectivity after receiving a phone call?

I've had this issue occur several times. It's not 100% repeatable, but occasionally I lose 3G, 1X and all data connectivity after receiving a phone call.
I do NOT have WIFI enabled when this happens. I've seen posts referring that issue.
When this happens the only cure is a full power down reboot. Toggling Airplane mode doesn't work, infact it just hangs trying to toggle the mode. Toggling Mobile Network in settings doesn't work either.
I've seen this problem since the very first 2.2 leak on 7/27. I've also seen this running Virtuous 2.0 rom. I don't think this is ROM related, rather a generic 2.2 or radio issue (I've seen this happen on the 2.05 and 2.15 radio)
This problem seems to happen in low signal conditions.
Any ideas?

That's how it is with Verizon CDMA, no simultaneous voice and data. There is a network upgrade they can apply to correct it and give them more efficient use of bandwith as well but I guess they are not interested. I hear they are going GSM in the next few years anyway.

I didn't mean to imply that they work at the same time. I meant no data connectivity after I hang up.

Oooh. Well I've had 3 of these phones now and I have had that problem also. Verizon told me to update the network by calling *228 and choosing option 2. Seemed to help.

I wonder what that has to do with it. I thought that had to do with roaming which I wasn't.

I think that's mostly what they say first for any network problem.

It sounds like you have an app that is fouling your data connection. Do you have any third-party phonebook/contact list apps? I'd look there first.
As for the *228 Option 2 (or the PRL path for your carrier), that is standard telco procedure for "get off my phone, I want to go back to having my thumb up my backside." All it does is update your Preferred Roaming List.
You could try Option 1 or 3, which are programming related, but if your rep tells you Option 2, do not lie & tell them you just did it. VZW's system tells the rep the last time you did - including the date of your activity. However, you can snicker, knowing you got a loser rep.
Warning - listen carefully when using O1 or O3. Let it repeat the instructions if you're not 100% sure, else you will be calling tech support & possibly getting one of the losers. Or, you could get a gem. BTW - O3 is hidden - you have to trust it is there.

No third party apps like that. I have tried option 1 and 2 but I didn't know about option 3. I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Nexus One network issue

Hi, i was using CM7 for a week, then suddenly, the mobile network begin to be freaky, cant stay on a network, cant make call and anything, I already cheked the apn settings and everything..
also switched to wcdma prefferred, to gsm only, or to wcdma sometime got signal, but after 1 or 2 minutes, cant connect to a network...
anyone can help please..

I'm having this as well ever since the update.
Gingerbread is half-baked if you ask me.

it seems to make and receive calls only in EDGE (in GSM ONLY mode), but when i change it to preferred wcdma or to wcdma only to get 3G, sometime get full signal but cant make any calls and also cant use data and sometimes got no service.. only in EDGE mode..
all this happen after using CM7 for a week... anyone please help..
baseband and radio are 32.50.0032U_5.12.00.08...
I also restore it to stock to FROYO FRF33 and the same issue, dont know what cause it..

I'm not sure it is fully related to gingerbread. I'm still using CM6 and had this issue on and off for about 3 days. It seems to have cleared up for me (knock on wood)

yess im having the same problem, i also noticed it after flashing to either honeycomb alpha or the new gingerbread update [i did both within an hour] but i cant fix this problem...:/

still cant connect to 3G, only in EDGE mode...
cant connect to a 3G network, already changed the radio to 5.08, 5.12 and downgrade it to 4.06 and nothing...
anyone know this issue??
if I cant solve it, I might gonna sell my Nexus One..,

Network issues have nothing to do with the phone, if they're constant with different ROMs. Check with your service provider.

is not the service provider, I change the sim card to another phone, and the 3G works flawless.
Also, put another sim of other carries with the same band, changed the APN settings, and it's the same problem with 3G, only work on 2G...

In that case, 2 options:
1) Wipe and check again.
If still doesn't work -
2) Hardware failure. Use the warranty.

I've been recently (1-2 months) battling with Data problems also and I don't know what the issue is. I know it isn't my Carrier because I just spent the whole month on the phone with them and they actually sent a Guy TO MY HOUSE to test the connection. I've never had problems before until around CM7 and me switching plans (which is what I thought it was).
My problem is that it works, but data just stops and doesn't want to reconnect. I have to toggle Airplane mode or reset to jump start it. I think changing towers while driving might do this too.
I've done the same tests. Changed Sim, Swapped Sims, etc. EDGE seems to be stable for me but 3G is wonky. I've flashed a PASSIMG and started from scratch that way back to root and CM7. I've downgraded my HBoot and reupgraded it. I've wiped and changed radio versions.
Right now I plan to swap to a few other Gingerbread roms and see if that fixes it. My N1 being my only internet connection it is hard to download other custom roms but I grabbed a few from work and put on my SD card.
I'm not blaming CM7 but at this point I'm really thinking about changing phones.

Ive read that there are issues with the Nexus One gps. Is this true and if so, what issues have you experienced?
PS. GPS doesnt have anything to do with the carrier does it?

well... my nexus already have 1 year, I'll sell it in a very cheap price, and buy the INSPIRE 4G and root it...
thx for your help guys..

AOSP/CM APN Switching Issues

Has anyone been experiencing issues with the APN auto switching between 3g/LTE? For the past month or so every cm based or aosp rom I try has issues automatically going in and out of 3g and LTE areas unless I manually go into APN settings and switch it. Very annoying while traveling and last week there was the whole "roaming indicator off" message for service instead of "SPRINT". Any solutions or ROMs anyone know of that don't have this issue?
Edit: I'm using CM11 jflte on Philz recovery with the NAE modem. Maybe more success with MK2?

I'm having the same issue since the cm-11-20140323-NIGHTLY, and I have to do the exact same thing. I have the MK2 modem so I wouldn't worry about switching modems.

haha, yeah. I tried it and same issues. Sad to say, but it looks like I'll be going back to a Touchwiz ROM for now at least.

AOSPs have always been like this for me since epic touch and the GS3.

I think I may have fixed my problem with a combination of two things. I am using CM11 and I'm not responsible if this breaks your phone. First, I did the enable MTU probing shown in this thread (all thanks and credit to Steppnasty):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2556590
But before rebooting after the fix, I went to Access Point Names in Settings, selected the Sprint LTE internet, and deleted the APN that just said Sprint (was the top one in my list). After a reboot, my LTE/3G switching has been working fine. Not sure if this will help anyone here, but it seems to have worked for me.

Is this still an ongoing issue with all 4.4.2 ROM's? have since switched back to CM 10.2.1 until this issue gets resolved. Can't see how anyone could use a ROM that can't automatically switch between network types.
