##DATA#

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.

[HOW-TO] PRL Trick for froyo 2.2

To change your PRL in Froyo, since ##775# doesn't work, Google the program CDMA Workshop and download, Find your COM Port by going in device manager and looking at properties of your phone under modems, On your phone dialer-press ##3424#, plug into USB, in CDMA Workshop under the Main tab select your COM Port and hit connect....Go to the Other tab, under that you will see PRL. Directly below that you will see Read and Write, Hit Write and navigate to your preferred PRL, Reboot......You can also save your current PRL by hitting Read
OR
Easy way....
You can take the espt.apk from fresh's 1.0.1 and replace it with yours.
This doesn't work on CM6

in for techknowfile app!

I think the best app to go off of is "Network"...its a direct dialer code app

For those that don't know about CDMA Workshop and own a CDMA phone....please learn this program, it is very useful and the more people that know how to use it (and QPST), the more can develop with it...........It is kinda dangerous to play with tho

What is this for

yes, i did unzip; maybe it's b/c i'm on CM6 nightly, could that be the reason?

"60669.prl is not a valid PRL file"
I can almost guarantee that this is the result of running CM6.

Try connecting back to CDMA Workshop and see how your prl is being used with CM6...Go to PRL page and hit "read"...if you post your settings then we can compare yours and Sense's (AOSP-CM6) AOSP might use different settings than Sense's, using the PRL in another way?

Someone please develop an app for switching prls in froyo. Need it! Will donate.

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.

Bad data speeds?

Well I dont know about issues there, mainly a few major cities.
I would update your prl and data profile which obviously requires you going back to sense for a few minutes.

I have all of my radios updated. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 I do one at a time and reboot in between each one.
Check out "Data Speeds... wtf" in Evo General. You need to boot to a Sense ROM (I just use stock rooted). Basically, what you do is update profile in settings after updating your radios. Then, go to the Market and download MSL Reader. Launch it, get your MSL code. Then, go to phone and enter ##3282#. Hit Edit, and enter your MSL code. Go to advanced. Look at the bottom four, talking about proxies. For ports, put 0. For addresses, put 0.0.0.0 and hit menu and "commit changes". Reboot your phone. Then launch into Recovery and Nandroid back or whatever to whatever ROM you choose. Data should be better.

You probably have the same prob as me.. We need to update our prl and pri... I will look up the directions for you tommorrow, but your phone whwn you r oot it did not uprade the prl or pri correctly.. Data wipe wont correct it you have to force the phone to do the "hands free activation" on its own multiple times.till the update takes.... My 3g went from 50 to 100 kbs to 1 to 2 mbs and 4 g jumped to 6 mbs most of the time.. You can also google update prl on your own sorry gotta get some sleep....

Hey, it sounds like hes got the same problem I had... Updateing profile wont fix it and flashing the radios doesnt fix it for everyone.. His prl and pri got messed up he need to force his phone into the "hands free activation" you are right it uses the espt so he needs a sense rom, but that is prob his problem for the really bad speeds....

Can you walk me through that?

I'm on Deck's rom and would like to jump back into sense to do the prl and pri update. Do we need to use a sense rom from the most recent GB update? Or can it be an older rom? Anyone recommend a good sense rom for this purpse? Thanks!

Any sense rom will do, I used myns worm 2.2. Update pri, Also do the proxy hack while your at it, hit ##data# hit edit, enter your msl, go into advanced and Chang all the proxy to 0's you'll notice a significant boost in data speed. Don't wipe just nandroid back to your deck rom your good to go.

What ROM are you trying it on?

a Data restore fixed my speeds, updating the PRL, Data Profile, and all of that crap didn't do anything.
you still need your msl code
Just do ##3283# > go to edit mode > go to data profile > hit menu > then hit restore.
It basically reactivates you phone after i did this my date speeds were drastically improved

I was trying it on stock 2.3 rooted.

Haven't used that one before... Try a 2.2 one, stock or Azrael or MikFroyo or such. You haven't updated your radios, have you? IV noticed a bit improved speeds and battery life with the new updates.

Roam/Home network Control?

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!

Yup! Msl reader should be free. And these settings will stick even if you do a full wipe, so you can restore your nandroid without a problem.
