Anyone having any luck with Roam Control on EG22? I'm running the EG22 w/ EG22 modem. Everything looks to be working fine except for one huge glaring problem...roaming. I have all the roam guard nonsense turned off. I hit Roaming Only, I get the little triangle and even see it in the debug connected to VZW but I never get any data connection. I've tried rebooting, etc.
I would love to hang out on EG22 but without roaming this thing is worthless to me. At work I have to force roam since Sprint data has been dead downtown for over a year.
Works fine for me
remember, data won't show if you're connected to 4g or wifi.

Hmm... no 4G or WiFi here. It just shows the triangle with the signal meter, but of course there is no data connection.
I flashed the DEODEXED version by decadance. What version are you using? are you using the EG22 modem? I haven't tried to flash an older modem yet.
Make sure you have data enabled. hold the power button and then click data network mode.
Tried with rc 1.4 and it worked, the 3g data symbol doesn't show up till you request for internet. Both time I tried took 1 min to handshake.
I am using prl 11114 and my suppose to be 3g data roam speed is at cdma speed dl is caped around 120kbps on verizon full signal bar.

the newest RC works for me, but the modem crashes and reboots every time I go into roaming, but it reboots into roaming fine so I haven't really worried too much
I checked all that. It just doesn't handshake for some reason. I remember this same issue on the very first Froyo leak. Weird thing is I tried the roaming on the very first GB leak and it worked just fine.
I'll have to flash around some modems, try a different release of EG22 and see if I can get this working. This feature is a huge must for me.
Got it working... ODIN'd to this version of GB and it worked first shot. WOOHOO!! Loving it.

I did the fix and i am on stock updated all the way from one of the threads in the dev section and before 4G worked with the old radio but cut out all the time So i decided to do this fix and now the 4G connects for about a minute and it disconnects and i am in an area with excellent 4G coverage. So if anyone knows of a 4G connection problem in the Kansas City area please tell me or if it is just my phone tell me how i can fix this problem.
Edit: It appears that 3G cuts in to do data instead of 4G because as soon as it cuts out 3G uses data.
Edit 2: Now if I go in to Setting>Wireless & Networks>4G Settings It says fair - Poor connection, Assuming because i am inside, but i am not connected.
Edit 3: After disabling mobile data in the network settings it now holds the 4G connection well but now i have to wonder why 3G would over take 4G while it is on.
I been having 4g problems since the recent ota update. I hardly get 4g and it's considerably slower.. I'm running full stock with no root. What fix is available?

Downgraded to calkulins v1.7 since i was having issues with 1.8 and now i am not getting evdo connectivity at all. My phone only connects to 1x. Ive tried restoring my settings when i do ##3282# edit data profile and evdo. Im not sure what else to do. Ive flashed 3 different roms and nothing helped. What else can i do?

Go to settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, mode of operation, and chose evdo only. This fixed my problem, hopefully it will help you.
I have no option to select mode of operation. I am unrooted now and back on bone stock ROM and still have this issue so I am not sure what is wrong. I am currently chatting with sprint to reset anything on their end. However, it still only connects to 1XRTT
try flashing 1.8 back and change the operation mode to hybrid. double check with ##3282# to also make sure the evdo setting is on automatic.

i just fixed this problem myself. go back to calkulin's evio 1.8, and change setting to hybrid. to see if it works, type ##3282# into dialer and choose view mode. go to evdo settings, and make sure its set on automatic. if not, then:
retrieve your msl (free app in market msl reader) and type the same code in, but choose edit mode. type in your msl, and go to evdo settings, and change to auto.
Ahhhh! I don't have this option :/

flash back to calkulin's evio 1.8
Changing to EVDO only helps with 1X, but I found out that the setting to EVDO only will not allow incoming text or calls. I had to put it back to Automatic.
I've tried everything everyone has posted so far. Changing to EVDO only and automatic and all that stuff. I took it into the Sprint store today and they tried telling me it was on 3G since the icon was showing that. I told them the evo icon never changes to 1x even when connected to 1x. She still didn't believe me. So I downloaded a few apps that showed my phone only connected to 1x and she downloaded the same app and it showed hers connected to EVDO. She said she couldn't trust the app and then she compared my phone internet load times to hers and mine was actually faster so she still wasn't convinced. I explained that the 3G is on a higher frequency than 1x and being indoors she may have a poor signal compared to mine. Also I told her that everyone in our area is probably connected to EVDO, thus slowing it down, versus just me on 1x, so I had better speeds. She said that is very true, so she ordered me a new Evo that should be here in a few days.

THIS WILL GET YOU 3G
but you will be constantly roaming
try it out and let me know if it works for you.
##775#
search for 00001.prl and change it.
commit changes and it will restart
give it about 10 mins to get connected right and do a speed test.
i was getting only 15-20 kbps using the latest sprint prl.
i changed to this modified prl and im getting 1700-2200 kbps
i think sprints prl's are messed up..
What test can o perform to prove that its versions network I am using after this hack? An iplookup says I'm still connected to sprint.

I'm having the exact same problems. Tried damn near everything at this point. No luck. If you find a solution, please post it.
While running Stock EB13(rooted with camera fix) I had to go back to Eclair because my 4G would not connect. I have always had a strong 4G signal at work but all of a sudden it would not connect. I tried rebooting, wipe, Odin, and Samsung update app, and nothing. I figured Sprint's network was to blame, so I called.....no network outage, no cell tower problems, zip. Thus I Odined my Epic back to Stock eclair, and bam 4G was up. Has anyone had a problem like this?
Edit: Ok so as of today I went to a Service Center to order a new phone, Sprint customer/tech support tried their best but my 4G at work would not consistently connect. However, as soon I got out of range of the tower close to work 4g connected and reconnected like normal. Which leaves me to believe that the tower or antenna is acting like a B**CH. Well see once my new Epic is in!
I use a custom EB13 ROM and 4G is fine; using WiFi Tether, too.
I was also running Wifi Tether on EB13 but no custom ROM or Kernel. I'm in North Chicago so i was wondering if anyone else was having 4G issues.

You might have had an issue with your modem. You could reflash/reodin the modem only. Also you could try updating your prl settings through the menu settings. If that doesn't work then update prl using the manual method in the development section.
When I'm on 3g cdma only mode, I can keep a data connection. When I switch to cdma/lte mode, it sometimes takes a while to finally get 4g data. I'll have plenty of signal and in different parts of my County, it acts the same. This started last night. I did a ##72786# and it didn't help. I tried manually updating prl and profile. It didn't help. Today I flashed mf9 full in Odin then did full factory reset and wipe in accounts. Still flaky connection. Tried updating prl and profile and 72786 and still don't have a steady connection. As I type this there isn't any data. The 4g will flash then 3g then no data in under a second. Now 4g just came back but no telling for how long.
Its probably because they are launching 4g in your area and its very spotting. That's why your phone drops signal. Because its trying to switch from 3G to 4G. I would say to stay on just 3G.

Lte is already in my area. It seems to be stable now. Long story short, I changed mode into cdma evdo. Updated profile. Changed back to cdma evdo lte. shut down phone and removed battery. Held power button down for av minute straight. Put battery back in and powered on. It seemed a little more stable but not rock solid. Drove home and 4g is staying on now. Probably a hiccup with the phone last night. I'll run it for 24 hours to see if it's stable again.
It's all too frequently dropping 4G or LTE connection when on the move. It's showing a connection, good strength too, but no data connection working. Often needing an airplane mode toggle or reboot to get online again.
5G is disabled as I'm nowhere near a 5G area.
Anyone got any ideas? Different firmware or something?
I'm starting to regret moving away from the SD note 10 plus I had. That phone was rock solid.

I read that some people have issues with connection with some ISP providers. Try putting it on 3G and see if it works fine then. If it does then ISP has either sn issue with 4G network or phone needs a firmware fix to solve 4G connection issue if this isn't a hardware problem thought. Since for me it works fine here and my 4G shows all time and I even have 4G+ as status without an issue.
try disabling WiFi calling that helped in my case
Tried all that. Went into a town and it didn't again.. Had to force it onto 4g to get a connection.

Haven't had any issues myself, on giffgaff. Tried O2 briefly, it seemed okay too.

Give this app a try, might help fixing it to one band
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.samsungbandselection
Yes u have that thanks. It seems to be band switching that's the problem. Or is it possible my carrier has live but unused bands that the phone is locking into? So when I travel I find myself with a dead data connection?
