This is the Sprint Evo forum. Maybe try a Verizon forum?

I was thinking someone here already had it ripped out of a verizon phone for their use on the Evo too

HERE are a few Verizon PRL's I keep around. There is a 51926 in there, I think from June or July of this year. Also some 65 series PRL's, but I haven't used any of them. I can verify that at least in Vancouver, WA I get great voice and 3G signal with the 51 series PRL's, cant really tell the difference between them, 518, 516, 517, 519, all good for me. Roaming triangle taunts me the whole time though,
Also, link in my sig for some other PRL's for the VZW 3G hack.

Thanks but i've tried 25 roams through out the month with altel/verizon and I always get 1x with 1 BAR. the only difference is some PRLs show the roam sign and others don't. This one even gave me the Roaming symbol.....What could the problem be????

I really don't know what the issue could be. I know that all the PRL's I linked will roam on 3G, so ???

Well they jump back and forth from Evd and Evdo_A when I sit the phone with 1 bar. But if I try to use the phone it jumps back down to 1xrrt with 1 or 2 bars at times. I'm kind of new to the hacking scene but I think everyone thing is good on my end. Unless there are other things you suppose to do after changing your PRL?

I'm no hacker myself, so at this point I don't know what else to look at.
Whenever I run any of these PRL's, I always have my network set to Sprint only, I turn off data roaming and make sure always on mobile data is enabled. But, even at the worst, I get intermittent data loss, but never get anything other then 3g. Have you tried the 00001 and 01337 prl's from the roam hack thread?
For me, on CM6.1, if I run any of the verizon PRL's, and select Sprint Only in the wireless networks menu, I roam on VZW 3G. If I switch to Affiliated Networks setting, I will drop all signal cause it gets confused I guess. If I change back to a Sprint PRL, and Affiliated Networks, I get good voice signal, but show 1x for data. As soon as I put it back to Sprint only, my data returns to 3g.
On any new froyo sense rom, it's almost impossible to tell. A bug that seems like it may be intentional has popped up. My phone will not show 1x, but only 3g. Even when I'm on a sprint prl, and confirmed to be roaming, which would be 1x, It still shows 3g. I dug into the rom, and the icons are there, they just don't show up on a lot of sense rom's
How are you able to tell what evdo ur on? Are you on an Evo?

Theres a app called Cellumap and Phonestatus in the marketplace. It tells you the network your phone is on and cellular provider.
I'm using the sprint lovers CUSTOM rom. I guess I'll switch to cm6 custom rom like you are using and set it up like you mentioned. so I'll give this a try tommorow(sunday) and report back. but I think it's just the RURAL area I live in but then again Verizon has full coverage according to their map...

yeah, probably just ur area. You should call Verizon and tell them about the issue
You could say something like, "hey, I'm trying to use your expanded 3g service for free, but all I get is 1x. Can you give me an ETA as to when this will be fixed?" That would be fun!
I'll give those apps a try on my end and see what I get.

Well, I'm getting EVDO rev a on most of these. Provider shows digital roaming but still says Sprint. Confirmed speed tests at just under 1mbs and dialing a number without area code sends me to Verizon error message.
That is with the 51 and 41 PRL's.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!

Aw great for you ... well I'm installing this cyanogenmod6.1 custom rom and see what it does on a different rom I guess. If not I don't know what else I could, probably no roaming agreement with Verizon(altell had my area covered before Verizon bought them so Verizon really never had towers here....)

Ah, so that's why you were looking for the newest PRL. I would think you could get it to work with the right PRL.

Question about Android/T-Mo/Orange Data Roaming

So I just registered for the T-Mobile UK/Orange network sharing, and I'm all registered
I've enabled data roaming, however under "Network Operators" I have an option for "T-Mobile" and one for "T-Mobile Orange"
Which one should I choose?

Got a feeling i posted in the wrong section but anyway yeah, whats everyone else on TMo doing?
Just leaving it on automatically detect?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Leave it on auto.
It'll default to T-Mobile and only use T-Mobile/Orange when you have no signal on T-Mobile itself.
When roaming onto T-Mobile/Orange, you'll only get Edge speeds maximum as opposed to the speeds you can get on T-Mobile's 3G network.
Some time later this year, they're supposed to be merging the 3G networks together as well but until then, it's 2/2.5G only.

Teampokerface
Keep it on auto.

good info, cheers

At first I thought this would be useful, but I find its more annoying than anything. Mine hogs orange, which is pain. Everytime I load up the internet its connected to orange, I do a network scan t-mobile appears and I have a full HSPDA signal and yet it favours oranges Edge or G with unuseable data speeds. every friggin time!!!!!!!

It should only switch to the T-Mobile/Orange network when you don't have coverage on T-Mobile's own network.
It might be an issue with how your handset is set up that it's defaulting to T-Mobile/Orange.
If need be, you can actually opt out of the signal share by texting STOP to 2121.

o right, ok thanks I may consider doing that then as there isnt many places I dip out of signal for long on t-mobile anyway. Having to constantly go through settings to change it back to t-mobile is very annoying.

Possible to Automatically Roam on Verizon only in certain areas?

There are 2 specific areas in CT where I really don't have good Sprint service at all and the signal cuts in and out. I really don't have a problem anywhere else. I was wondering if it was possible to manually the tweak the PRL on my HTC Evo so that it roams in certain areas. I know Verizon has much better service in these areas. If so, Is it possible that I would have 3G service while roaming?
I've read up on the disclaimer that if I roam too much Sprint can void my contract, but I'm only at these areas on occasion. If not, maybe its possible to use Tasker and another program to automatically switch me to roaming based on my GPS location? If that's the case, I wasn't sure if I would be stuck with 1x or 3G
Any thoughts would be great,
~J

Check out the app Roam Control in the market. It's the only one I know of that can force you into roaming and hold you there. Also if you're a locale or tasker user, he included a plugin for them, so you can automate the roaming.

I couldnt believe it......I was roaming in my own damn house 2day! In the middle of Los Angeles.......they must be backed up like crazy aver since AT&T had to stop stealing from Verizon's towers......lol :\

Hey does that app control roaming and non roaming?? Because sometimes Ill be roaming in a location I know has service, so Id like it to search for that service consistently instead of just going into roaming......thanks!

So is this different than just going into the options on my phone and changing to affiliated networks? Also when roaming is it only 1x speed for data or is it 3G?
Thanks,

It lets you switch between Home (e.g. Sprint), Roaming (e.g. Verizon), and Automatic (e.g. Sprint until the signal is gone)

Never seen the config screen for affiliated networks, so I'm not sure. The issue with the built in 'Automatic" roaming option is that it ranks ANY Sprint signal above ANY Verizon signal. So if you have 0.001 bars on Sprint and 4 bars on Verizon... it's going to pick Sprint... and then it's going to drain your battery because it will keep losing the signal.
Whatever voodoo the app is doing, it let's you pick Verizon and lock onto it until you change it back. My office is in a dead zone and I was walking out at the end of the day with 20% battery, now that I force myself on to Verizon at work I can leave with a solid 70% or more left on the battery.

hey heres a link to do it!

Reliable PRL for Verizon 3G evdo on Sprint Note 3?

I finally got around to modifying my PRL on my Sprint Note 3. I'm using PRL Helper to switch PRL's out. I first started with 65002 and it worked as VZW voice and 3G evdo data no problem. Ran some video with no buffering so speed was good and verified it was VFW in settings and the rome control app. Then I switched to the 53137 corporate PRL and it still works but it doesn't seem to roam to VZW at all, not evdo or 1X...nothing. I flashed the 65002 back and now I can't get any data on VZW and I don't see any 3G icon, not data at all. Am I doing something wrong or am I using outdated PRLs? Did VZW notice that I don't suppose to be on a corporate PRL or noticed that I was getting 3G evdo data then suspended my ESN? I use Rome Control too so now when I force into rome only mode I get no data.

Verizon users, lend me your ears!

I started out with USCC on this device. But last week I switched ourn lines over to big red. I noticed that big red forces you to use LTE, with no options under "cellular networks" to select CDMA. Here in Maine, LTE drains your battery 50% faster than CDMA, and data is wonky. It tends to be slower than CDMA, or at least feels slower because it is constantly switching between the 2 or hanging in limbo.
My phone was set to CDMA on USCC, and even after switching to Verizon, I'm still on CDMA. My question is, if I return to stock LP will it force me into LTE -with no choice of switching back to CDMA? So far, Marshmallow has been a huge disappointment on my phone.

Just go into hidden menu via dialer and force your phone into CDMA or LTE or whatever you want. It's simple really and will give you what you want.

Well, is there a "new to Verizon" guide somewhere? Verizon didn't tell me about the secret codes. I don't even know how to do an advanced prl update.

I should have clarified that I've only ever been on USCC. I've never used Verizon. But I do vaguely remember reading about a hidden dialer code now that you mention it. I'll look into that.

Thanks. Never needed it because us cellular already offers that.

It's not a that they don't offer that 99% of the time you are better off on LTE so its good that phones prefer LTE. Most likely your other phone simply had that option not hidden unlike on Moto. So that wasn't a ussc feature

Agree to disagree. The data speeds are about the same here, but with the constant handoffs, LTE actually becomes slower and pages won't load because it's switching to 3G and back to LTE over, and over, and over. Plus the added battery drain off having 15-20dBm weaker signal, it's a no brainer. But maybe that's just in our less developed state.
The Samsung phone that I bought for my wife has no CDMA provisions, so it's not a Moto thing, it's a Verizon thing.

You can also download the thunder bolt lte on/off app and you have choices like CDMA auto prl. I use it to force CDMA only on my range extender at home.

Use shortcut creator to link to the hidden menu and your all set

This device doesn't run Verizon branded firmware at all. It's how Motorola provisioned the device to work. Like patt2k said you can change that via the hidden menu and you should be good to go, it won't look for LTE after that.

There seem to be many LTE on/off utilities in the App store. How did you pick this one?
I also have a Verizon Network Extender at home. I have trouble getting connected to it. I often have to reboot or turn the radio on/off to get my phone to connect to the Extender. I would appreciate any advice on how to get my phone to connect to the Extender more reliably.
It would also be nice if the phone would show via an Icon or screen that it is connected to the Extender. Right now the only way to know is to dial #48
EDIT: When I go into the Hidden Menu and select CDMA only, the phone temporary drops the LTE signal. However, LTE seems to quickly come back. Any suggestions on how to turn off LTE when I am home so that I force a connection to the Network Extender?

I can't get the hidden menu to switch from CDMA to LTE. It will switch temporarily, then drop the radio altogether forcing me to restart. Upon restart it's in CDMA only again. Personally, I'm fine without LTE. But I'm not sure why I can't get it enabled at all. I'd like to know I COULD have LTE if I wanted it. So I'm confused why it's stuck in CDMA

It worked with other Motorola devices in the past. CDMA only will fix your network extender issues.
You will have to set it back when you leave the house. Also it will go back to the default settings if you reboot. Works great for me.
