Hi guys,
I am using the unlocked HTC Touch Pro (not Fuze) and I am located in Vancouver, Canada. My carrier is Fido. After googling for a long time, I came to the conclusion that there is no way to remove the false roaming indicator and roaming alert messages (even though I am not roaming) other than flashing the rom. In this case, which rom would you guys recommend? I'll be happy as long as I can get rid of the roaming alerts and everything else similar to the stock rom. I apologize if a related topic has been posted in the forum before as I can't find any guidelines and I am very desperate...
Thank you very much in advance!!

Welcome to the forum
I would recommend to enter in the correspondent sub forum (Rapahael) and READ a lot, then test different ROM´s till you get the one that fits your personal needs.
Goodluck,
hey guys, i recieved my HTC Aria a few days ago, i bought it from the internet as they are not available in the U.K. Everything has been kool but because the phone came with the Eastern Asia ROM (thailand, signapore etc), i cant use my 3G internet connection, because the frequencys are set for eastern asia.
Basically i wanted to ask for some advice and help, whether its installing a new rom or anything else, would appreciate all the help i can get.
Thanks
Moved to General Q&A section.
Sorry if this is redundant folks, but a friend of my stepfather has been having some issues. He recently purchased a G2X, used it for a month or 2 on T-Mobile, but now wants to switch to AT&T with his girlfriend. He's gotten pretty far, getting the IMEI from T-Mo and getting it actually unlocked. He's now got Calls and Texts up and running on AT&T's network, but he can't get any data to work. We know that 3G won't work on it, but we assumed EDGE would.
Any help here? I'm sure it something reasonably simple.
Please and thanks, XDA!
There's a thread in the SGS2 dev section with AT&T's APN settings. They probably need to be changed in the phone.
Mine is unlocked and I tried my wife's at&t sim and had no issues connecting to internet. Not that that helps you, just wanted to throw in my experience. I wonder if it makes a difference which type of rate/data plan the at&t sim is on.
G2X CM7
Thanks Barry, I found that thread and sent him the APN settings. I'll post back tomorrow with results.
And thanks for your input phburks. The reason why yours worked may be that you're running CM. Our g2x is running stock Android.

Hey folks,
I did a little research on the forums, but couldn't find a dedicated thread. It seems that you cannot activate any CDMA phone on Sprint's network. If that's not the case, I'd love to be corrected. If so, can anyone just explain to a curious mind why?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer this newbie.
Problem:
I have a stock, locked, non-rooted Photon Q, purchased when it launched on Sprint in August 2012. Sprint rolled out LTE in my area (downtown Boston) in roughly February 2013. Since then, this phone has never succesfully connected to, or even detected, a 4G signal.
Android version: 4.0.4
Observations:
Settings > Wireless & networks > More > 4G Status shows "Network Provider: Unavailable" and "IP Address: 0.0.0.0".
##3282# > LTE shows "Enabled: On".
##3282# > LTE is also supposed to have an option to review LTE logs after the first time the phone successfully connects to a 4G network. No such option is visible.
*#*#4636#*#* > Phone Info, ping test shows "Pass" for "ping Hostname" and "HTTP Client test", but for "Ping IpAddr" it shows "Fail: IP addr not reachable". No idea why.
What I've tried:
Obvious stuff. Update PRL, Update Profile, Update Motorola software. Multiple power on/offs, soft resets, hard resets (most recently today).
Sprint tech support (in-store, web chat, phone). Watched them try all the same obvious stuff I tried. Their best idea was to order a replacement phone, and to tell me to call Motorola.
Motorola tech support (phone). They punted, saying the most advanced option they could offer is the hard reset I've already tried. (Seriously? "Level 2" tech support punts after a hard reset?)
A somewhat similar issue was described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230107. However, that poster had at one time been able to connect via 4g; I have not. (Also, he had used mods; I have not.) In any event, the post didn't give a resolution.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
How good of a 3g connection did u have? Maybe its just choosing the better connection. Good 3g vs bad 4g

i apologize profusely in advance for this question, but since it isn't explicitly mentioned: you do have the device set to CDMA/4G in Settings/More/Mobile Networks/Network Mode? i am also asking because i have mine set to CDMA only, and i have all the exact same settings and readouts that you mentioned. sorry if you do have that set tho..
in any case, did you consider letting them give you a replacement?

Fair questions; no need to apologize! Yes, I have Network Mode set to CDMA/4G.
As for replacement, it's funny: in the same breath with which they suggested a replacement, the Sprint store techs opined that they don't actually think a replacement will fix the problem. Supposedly, this problem has come up with other Photon Qs before, and replacement didn't help. (That begs the question, what did help before, and why didn't it help my particular phone? Whatever.) So, figuring I have nothing to lose, I OK'd the replacement, but I'm continuing to work on the problem myself on the assumption that the replacement won't help.

ah ok, i didn't know some Photon Qs had a problem connecting to LTE. have you scoured the site s4gru.com? i'm not sure it would help, but it is another forum site, and the technical knowledge on that site regarding Sprint LTE is pretty amazing. maybe posting there would be good.
i looked at Boston on the map here, and it definitely looks like you should be picking up LTE!

good luck with the replacement, hopefully that one does work..
What PRL is your phone on??
55012 never connected to 4G on my phone...
55013 either, however 55014 works along with 16013...

I'm on 55014. Is there a way to change that? I know very little about how PRLs work.
That prl should work fine. I would check your settings under "mobile networks" then and make sure its set to "LTE/CDMA"
Digiblur posted an awesome thread explaining what a prl does over at s4gru if you are interested. Also you may want to check sensorly to be totally sure there is 4G available where you are.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but have you verified with anyone else that they can connect to LTE? I live near chicago and it was almost 3 weeks after sprint officially said they turned up lte before i saw my phone flip to it for the first time.
Just to close the loop on this: the replacement worked. The new handset both detects and connects to LTE, including in all the places the original handset didn't.
I wish I had more information as to why. The settings all look the same. Maybe this was just a manufacturing QA issue? Bad radio? I suppose I'll never know.
But for anyone else who finds this thread after experiencing the same issue -- don't listen to the Sprint techs if they tell you a replacement won't fix the problem.
