Couple issues I am having - Epic 4G General

1. When I am roaming I go from full bars down to no signal. Have called sprint to not avail and have tried updating my prl.
2. Display doesn't always turn off. And always is coming on whenry I lose signal.
I did try a search but came up with nothing...thx

Have tried roam control and that doesn't seem to work either.

Roaming

I thought that if the phone can't get a sprint signal it'll roam?
I get absolutely 0 sprint service in the part of florida I'm in, but it doesn't even roam to verizon (which gets all bars here). It just shuts the radio off.
My friend with an lg rumor(I think that's what itscalled...its a sprint lg texting phone) gets no servicebut roams off verizon while over here...
What's wrong with the epics radio -_- I've been using google voie to text over wifi,but I need to make calls too. I keep getting "MISSED CALL FROM 555-5555" messages but my phone doesn't even ring -_-

You can force roam using Roam Control.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.vuvuzela.roamcontrol
It works perfectly for me.
I can't buy it. Also, I shouldn't have to pay extra to roam for free...the phone should automatically switch instead of cutting the radio off. I can understan using roam control in areas where the phone hangs onto weak sprint signals and contantly switches back and forth, but there is absolutely no service here from sprint
The hero roamed full bars last time I was in a strictly no-sprint zone.
I hope cyanogen mod gets the mms bug fixed soon, ebecause I know thres a "roam" option in the cm menus. Atleast it was on the hero

Yeah and I thought that the roam guard mightve been aproblem but I turned it off and still a nogo
It'll stay with the "no smoking" symbol until I hit a sprint tower (which I lock onto five minutesfrom the house -_- so its not like ima be roaming alllllll the time sprint!!)

I highly recommend Roam Control.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vuvuzela.roamcontrol
I would love roam control
I've wanted it since the developer came out with it in the epic forums, but I can't buy it.
Which is why I hope that now that froyo sauce was released, cm will move over to rc1 territory and it'll be a simple toggle in the settings...
Pure aosp with speed and force roam built in.... :drool:

Try updating the PRL? When I roam it cuts off my 3g which is annoying but I still have cell signal.
I updated prl as soon as I updated to eb13
It wasn't bothring me that I wasn't getting roam, but I was on dk28 so I affiliated it with that modem since there were other bugs....but this is official froyo now so I figured a prl and profile update in sprint territory would've fixed it, but it didn't.
Unless its a hardware problem....... D:

dumb question.....did you make sure you phone was set to allow roaming?
Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Network Settings>system Settings>Automatic.
btw, I use roam control because it allows you to force Roam Only so it doesn't keep switching in low signal areas.

I get "unable to parse text" whenever anything is tried with Roam Control.
Tried fresh install, reboots, etc. No change.
Edit to add, i'm rooted of course.
Yeah roaming is set to automatic
Is there a dialer code that might help with signal searching?
I remember when I first got the epic, ther was something about dialing *#*#something and there was a menu where you would tell it to check CDMA only becauseit would search for gsm....would that help?

Roam control requires root...just an fyi.
It works great here on the new 2.2 update. The phone also roams by itself and connects to data via 1x with a normal prl. Or with a fixed prl it connects to 3g
Do you mean you never have a signal, ever? During your day to day life at home and work...? Cuz if so, dude, srsly: get off of Sprint. If you just roam 24/7, they'll drop your account anyway.
You sound like you have really unique, mysterious circumstances keeping you both attached to Sprint and unable to make purchases on the market (which is even more weird).
Call me a skeptic, but I'm having trouble buying into your story. :/ If you want to play this game, you can flash a Verizon PRL (do we know how to do this on Epic...?), but if/when Sprint cancels your account, do us a favor and don't waste XDA's bandwidth on a "WTF SPRINT" thread.

PRL 11115 no longer giving data connection.

I've been using that prl for 3g roaming while at work for the past couple of weeks. Today though I lost my data connection. Still can make calls and text. Tried reflashing prl, rebooting, everything. I use roam control, and when I switch to home I have normal sprint service with 3g data. When I switch back to roam it gives only voice and text and says sprint can't login?
Anyone else having issues?

My guess is the 3G is down on that roaming tower or Sprint didn't pay their bill.

Someone else posted the 0001 prl stopped working so i'm guessing Verizon is having pessaries right now. I also had friends on Facebook post that at&t was having issues all morning.

Sorry to exhume the thread, but 11115 definitely hasn't been working for me when roaming. Is it actually working for anyone?

Horrific Data Speeds

I was with my friend today, and his web was really slow. Even on 4g WiMax. I did a speed test and it was about 30KB/s.
Any ideas?

Also, he wants to root, and rom. What's the easiest method? He has EL30.

A couple of things might be an issue here, First off, I am on Sprint myself, and my data speeds are quite good when I am in an area with at-least two (2) signal bars, one of the first things you should have your friend do is to make sure his firmware, profile, and PRL are updated by going into the "Settings," "About Phone," then the System Update tab. After those are updated, I would power the phone off then back on, and see if the speed has increased at all.
A couple of tools you can use to do that are Speedtest.net's app, Open Signal Maps app (a handy little utility), NetMonitor (similar to Open Signal) and CellPhone Coverage (similar to the Open Signal and NetMoniter but with some extras) beyond that make sure he has a good strong signal, or use wifi if possible. Good Luck.
all of these are from google's play store

He has full bars, and speedtest does 50KB/s>. I tried updating the profile, PRL, and so on.
Myself, on Virgin Mobile, sane PRL as him, and I get better data speeds...
Also easiest root method?

GS4 data very sporadic

My s4 data is bad to kick off and back on. It has done had since I first got it. I have 3_g at home and it's very solid signal, I never lose signal in fact i keep 4-5 bars but data kicks in and out all of the time. My old phone was very solid never lost data signal ever. I have tried the 3 different radios and several ROMs but they all do the same thing? It doesn't show roming and it looks to be on sprint solid. I know I've read about losing data due to flashing but mine works fine then it doesn't work, off and on, off and on all of the time... Rebooting sometimes brings it back, switching radio off will sometimes too but sometimes I just have to walk away for 10-30 min and it'll pop back up... any ideas?

I will assume that you have updated PRL and profile. If not, do so. If that does not solve the issue, call Sprint to see if thry are working on towers in your area.
Yes I did update profile/prl as well. I have a second phone we keep in the house (as my house phone) but it keeps data signal just fine never drops either. I haven't called Sprint I may try that but I really think its buggy firmware

I called Sprint, wasted 10min of my life lol. But I set force cdma, we'll see how that goes. No lte here anyway.. in fact 2g some of the time.. gotta love sprints data (shoot me)
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Hope the problem works itself out. One last suggestion would be a factory reset (that is if you didnt wipe data through rom flashes). Doing so can potentially fix a lot of different isses....maybe this as well. Good luck

Force cdma seems to have fixed it. I get lte in town but I live and work outside of town. Guess it was always getting stuck between the two...

Your signal bars reflect your voice signal not data. Download this for real info on what your phone is doing

And check this site for LTE deployment info, you could be getting NV deployed in your area http://s4gru.com/index.php?/forum/39-markets/

Have you tried to update your prl and profile ?
Oh and are you on AOSP based ROM ? Most people tend to have lower signal and 1x more. Than when on touch wiz.
