I have a fascinate from verizon but I've just move to Vietnam and the CDMA network I use is S-Fone. I can't set EVDO on this network because there is no menu on the phone allow to set 3G. Some people said that VZW had disable that. Anyone has solution to solve that problem for me? Thanks a lot.
Please help me you guys. I will donate to you when I come back. ^^

You use that app for what? I just want to adjust the 3G setting to use EVDO on S-Fone network. I bought that app and just don't know how to use it. Please help me.
Just play with the settings. Like I said ymmv. I use it where vzw 3g is slow and I asuume it switches it to sprint and I get a better 3g speed.

That program won't work for you. It simply sets your phone to Roaming mode, which for a Verizon phone means the Sprint network. It won't work with your S-Fone network.
Is there a free program that does something similar to Roam Control? I would like to try it out but don't want to buy it without knowing if it will help my situation.
EDIT: I am assuming that applanet is not legal since the posts with the apk in it have been removed. Good to know.
You should make a profile with qpst, you'll need to change some other settings with that tool, I could not find other way to do it
Sent from my SCH-I500
could you tell me which settings I have to change? You use fascinate in Mexico, right? could you give me your QPST profile? Thanks a lot. ^^
OK, im goingt o retract my last stament about using roam control. It does make some difference but not much on my phone. I want my phone to use Sprints 3g when at work. My coworkers Epic gets 100+kbs. I have installed QPST but dont really know what prl to use or even it it would help. Maybe someone else has a better insight on this.

I was reading on another forum about a hack that involves using ##DATA# to open up a menu. When I try to enter that in dialer, it doesn't do anything. Could anyone stear me in the right direction for how to get into this menu?
The goal is to end up being able to do what is listed in this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
Thanks in advance...
Dial ##3282# and give it a few seconds 10 at most. It may not work o. A sprint leak based Rom, it never did on mine till we got full release.

Second, you maybe the only person on this forum not on an unlimited plan LOL. But, I don't think it would cost you anything more. It doesn't come across as roaming.
First, this menu has a couple of things in it - using the data menu allows you to manually install a PRL of your choosing. The specific PRL people are loading is an AllTel 40050 PRL that allows you to connect to Verizons towers. I am under the impression though if you didn't have AllTel in your area, it may not work for you. It immediately causes issues for me.

I know that some dialers will not let you access this function.
I have tested most of the roms you need the stock android dialer to access the hidden menus...if you push the stock htc dialer apk to your phone you should be able to open the hidden menus when I get home I will get you a link.

Alright what you're looking for is ##775#. That will take you to the manual PRL updater, it also requires your MSL.
Im using MIUI, and it has Home Network or Automatic, is there a way to make it Home/Roam/Automatic?
is this a asop limitation? or is it the rom?
Have you tried "Roam Control" from the market? Only way I've found to force myself into roaming.
I'm unable to find it. Does anyone have the apk available?
EDIT: found it but it does not work.

You have to have a current version that allows you to disable rom detection. PM if you need further assistance. I have Roam Control working on Miui
@mulhiny, I have Roam Control set up with rom detection disabled and can't get it to work. You mind helping me out and see if we can get it to work?
I was looking for answers to this exact question; I'm back on MIUI but miss that "roam only" option on the newer Sense roms.
So before I buy it, those of you using the "roam control" app: does it consistently put you onto Verizon's 3G when it's available? (I've been reading around some threads that the app may be limited to giving you only 1X for some reason, but that may be old information).
If you get 3G or 1X depends on what area you're in. You don't always roam on Verizon's network. Only way you can always roam on Verizon is by hacking the PRL.

I may have worded my question poorly, sorry about that. To clarify, right now there are locations where I get 3G on Verizon (noticeably/substantially faster than Sprint's 3G) when I use the "Roam Only" option in the newer Sense ROMs -- so I just wanted to make sure that in those same locations, this app would give me the same results in MIUI.
(I'd like the option to switch back and forth, so I would not have to use the PRL hack, and thus make sure I am on Sprint at least part of the time)
The app will only let you roam on 1x. HOWEVER:
There are a few PRLs out there that let you switch between sprint 3g and Verizon 3g. You can just use the roam control app to switch between the blazing fast and crappy network speeds.
The PRL is posted in a .zip file in the thread about hacking the PRL. Gimme a sec and I'll post a link for it.
Alright here's the link: http://db.tt/pxgkDfbI
Download it to your SD card. Make a nandroid of your aosp rom, flash a sense ROM, enter ##775#, enter msl (msl reader on market). Select the msl, hit menu, commit mods. Reboot. Bam!

I had to zip it since I couldn't upload a *.prl file. Got it off my Prevail.
As for swapping a Verizon prl to a Boost phone. You will get no signal/service at all. Boost phones are not allowed to roam onto any other network. If you have a Sprint phone then you can roam to Verizon... but if you have a Boost then you're out of luck.
Thank you for the PRL

The prl is to update your phone to the latest tower. You either use qpst or dfs to put the latest prl in your phone plenty of guides out there. If you on a sense Rom you can try putting the prl in your SD card and then dial ##775# and update it like that.

For anyone interested in changing their PRL, the method is as simple as ever.
This is on a Sprint phone but should work with any CDMA carrier.
*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE*
1. Be rooted!
2. Find your MSL. I had a hard time getting my phone to give the numbers using the terminal for some reason. It's much easier just to use "Get My MSL," which can be found in the Play Store for free.
EDIT: This app worked for me the first time using it, but no longer does. Download Terminal Emulator from the Play Store, type in "su" and enter it, then try typing "getprop ril.MSL" (capitalization is important)
3. Make sure you have downloaded the phone's drivers onto your computer.
4. Open your phone's dialer and type *#7284#"
5.PhoneUtil should now be open. Click on "Qualcomm USB Settings" and select "DM + Modem + ADB." Remember to change this back after you change your PRL.
6. Plug your phone into your computer; let your phone recognize the phone.
7. Download your preferred PRL from the internet. I usually use 11115, but you can use whichever one you find best.
8. Open "Device Manager" on your computer; click on "Ports" and see which COM port your phone is connected to on your PC.
9. Use the program "CDMA Workshop" to connect to your phone by selecting the correct COM port, clicking "Connect," and then clicking "Read."
10. Go to the "Security" tab and put in your MSL into the box under "SPC." Click the "SPC" button and click "Send." It should say that the phone is unlocked.
11. Under PRL, click "Write" and select the PRL you want to switch to.
12. It should say that it successfully wrote; exit the program and let it reboot the phone when it asks.
13. Enjoy your new PRL!

i have tried both methods and they both work.
question i have is.
have any of you actually been able to force roam?
i have managed to change the prl quite easily but thin phone will not roam for the life of me which sucks because i live in a 1x area...

I haven't tried force roaming, however I have successfully roamed on the Verizon network (at least according to the "Netmonitor" app).
Any way to get MSL without root? It's just good to have it "just in case". Only time I ever actually used it was to completely deactivate and remove info from my Epic 4G once I had my SGS3 activated.

Preferred Roaming List; it tells the phone when and where to roam whenever there isn't sufficient service coverage from Sprint.
Apex launcher - it doesn't work.
TW launcher - it does.
Please see carrier specific instructions in Develpment section

I get poor Sprint service in some areas, especially at work. I'm wondering how can I force roaming when needed? Also, would I get My phone is un-rooted.
Roam Control is the only app I know of that will force roaming but you must have root to use that app.

Is there no way to force roam from Sprint if not rooted?
Not sure if this is what you're looking for...
but try going to settings -> more networks -> mobile networks -> global data roaming access and select allow access for all trip.
Maybe this is just verizon?

Perhaps you should look into another option:
http://consumerist.com/2013/06/25/w...th-no-service-do-ask-for-an-airave-femtocell/
Most carriers have these "femtocell" devices. I had one from Verizon when I lived in an area with poor service.
With Verizon, anyway, the catch is this: your home address had to have bad service, having bad service at work alone did not qualify me for a free device.
