Unable to get 4g back after using Phone App.

I selected the (CDMA auto PRL) for 3g only then didn't like it so i wanted to switch back but it would not let me. so now i'm stuck on 3g selected (CDMA auto PRL) every time I try to switch the setting to something else it just reverts back. Did anyone else have this issue? Please is their a fix? I need help to get the 4g back on my phone. (Galaxy S3 Verizon, rooted)

I had to reset the phone and install a different rom to make mine work. Hopefully that helps.

I will try not to do that then when I get my s3.
Hope you get your 4G back and try a hard reset to fix it.

I stopped using that app due to it happening twice. The last time it happened I had to unroot and reprogram the phone

I had this issue and flashed a stock rooted Rom then used airplane mode and it came back. I highly advise against using that app

The same thing happened on my non-rooted Verizon S3 after using Phone Info app. Verizon tech said my phone was defective. When I went into Best Buy, they started switching my phone to a new S3 and it still did it...found it was the sim card. After I got a new one, it's been working ever since.

I have posted the fix in about 4 other threads...you need to reprovision your device with the dialer code

This wipes data so have a nandroid ready.

For the millionth time avoid the beans rom and the jellybomb theme.

I don't think that phone info app has been updated in years. Was never meant for new ultra high end phones. And not to sound rude but those menus were never meant for us to play with.

That menu is how I ****in' ripped off VZW and their tethering app for the longest time with my old X2 before I got pissed off at it's random disconnects and just started using wifi tether for root users.
Ahhh.. the memories. Good times.

idk if this is the same but i used the phone info app on my fascinate and changed it and couldnt get 3g so i went to mobile networks under wireless and networks
in settings and clicked data enabled

I haven't had any problems with the phone info app! Use it daily and it's never gotten stuck on 3g.

Does this Re-provision code work with 4.1.1, I've been reading that it only works with ICS builds? I can't get 4G lte ever since rooting my phone and I've tried every thing but this. I don't want to try it though unless I know for sure that it works with jelly bean.
My Build:
Clean Rom 5.5.1
Leankernel vzw tw jb 1.2.1 (imoseyon)
Baseband I535VRBLK3
AND...... I've flashed
VRBLK3.rpm.zip
VRLK3.modem.zip
The "phone info" app is stuck on CDMA auto (PRL)
APN is set to LTE - verizon internet.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DOO????!!! PLEASE HELP XDA GENIUSES!!!!

I'm on CleanRom 5.5.1 and I use Phone Info app to switch from 4g to 3g, but to go back to 4g I always have to go into System Settings -> Wireless Network -> Mobile Networks and switch it from there. Same with every JB Touchwiz ROM I've tried.

It's a new setting in JB and this is the only way to fix it.

There are times it won't switch for me till I go into the more options to mobile network and switch to late or global

still not working
I got it changed in APN setting to "LTE - verizon internet", the only other option is "EHRPD - verizon internet", I also have global roaming set to "always allows on trips". However ever time I go back to the phone info app it resets to "CDMA auto PRL". Am I missing something?

Id say delete the phone info app or wait until it's updated to be compatible with jellybean. 3g is almost then same as lte anyways at least with my phone I almost always have a strong lte signal. The s4 chip in the gs3 was designed to be a power saver on lte compared to older chips

Ok, so if I delete the app is my phone still stuck in 3g mode somewhere in else in the phone then? I guess what I mean is does deleting app force the phone to run off the APN settings? And if this still doesn't work can I use the re-provision code ( *2767*3855#) that I saw earlier in the thread? Finally is there a way to simply check if my SIM card is screwed?

in need of AT&T data traffic icons

Can anyone get me the AT&T data traffic icons? I miss them and I am on CM10, I origanally had those dumb "H" icons, then I went to the verizon data icons, but I like the AT&T ones better. I found the 4G LTE ones on google, but I need all of them 3G, 2G, etc.

Did you end up pulling the icons? If so, could you advise which images they are. I would like to get them working on CM10 if possible.

Found some better ones, I'm still playing with them a bit and sorting the names out, i pulled them from an ics rom and some of the names are different. I'm trying to figure out what cm10 used to call each specific data line so i can match them up properly. Here's what the icons i found look like.

VRBLJ1 Modem/ RPM Question!!!

Hello I have a question about flashing the new radio/ rpm. Would it effect my ROM which is currently Eclipse? Basically would it be okay to go from HE to the J1? Thanks!

yes your fine.

I appreciate the quick reply Thanks

Also has anyone used the radio/ rpm? If so has there been any notice in better reception/ battery power? Thanks guys!!!

Likely half of the community has used it. Everyone's phone experience is different relative to their environment and where they live.

Everyone definitely seems to be getting different results. Both the I5 and J1 radios put me into roaming. I would have to reboot to convince the phone I was not roaming, then an hour later I was roaming again.
I am back to HE for now.

Use whatever modem works best for your area and tower situation. I have full time 4G so they all work. Affects 3G to a greater extent. Almost all 4G towers are new.

[Q] Will a different radio fix this?

Hi everyone, I'm running CM10.0.0 Skyrocket with UCLD2 modem. I live in Jupiter, FL and when I am traveling through town and pass through areas that switch between HSPA, 3G, and 4G, I often have to toggle airplane mode to get data back. Is this due to my radio? I was doing research in the forum about the various radios and I couldn't find a definitive comparison of the various modems to each other with a chronology of release. I'd guess that newer modems are better, but then I read that sometimes that's not the case. Anyone care to weigh in on why I lose data connection when traveling through different data zones? btw i checked my APN settings and theyre fine.

I too run into the same issue but when I'm at work I know that if you running jb data loss has been known to be an issue with it yes the newer the modem can potentially fix or issue depending on situation best option is test

What particular modem are you using?
I'm open to suggestions from anyone for a modem to flash.

Flash them and see how it works for you. It takes all of 30 seconds

Sounds like a handoff issue. Try CI3

Thank you for the suggestion, I flashed it last night and so far so good. :thumbup:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Just an update, things still seem good with CI3 compared to my old radio. Only thing I notice is it doesn't really like 4G data, it'll say 4G and have good bars, and I can make and receive calls fine. But if I go online it'll stall, and I'll watch it struggle and then swap to H+ and be fine. That’s the only remaining quirk. Not sure why it's doing that.

I know no one is following this post at this point but I thought I'd post a final update about how i resolved the last issue I mentioned in the post above, just in case someone else has this same issue and searches the forum later.
I fixed my reception with 4G accidentally, i flashed the Lightning Zap v3 kernel to improve battery and lo and behold, reception hand off is fixed!!

[Q] Remove Cell Radio and Services on GS3 (Wi-Fi only)

Is there a way to remove cell radio and telephony services from a GS3, making it a Wi-Fi only device.
I flashed jelly bellies any-phone Wi-Fi only zip, it works on a Fascinate but not on a GS3
And I know that airplane mode works, but to me it's not good enough.

Just use Phone Info from the play store and turn off the radio. Don't see why airplane mode isn't sufficient. Does the same thing.

I've had phone info for a while but never thought about that, Thanks. Hopefully someone can fix Jelly bellies to work for the GS3, it would be appreciated!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Why exactly are you trying to have a WiFi device only that Airplane mode is not good enough?

Telephony services are running in the background. I don't want any traces that the device is a phone, I don't need a second phone. I'm also peaky, I don't want to see the airplane mode icon constantly on status bar.

I've wondered about the same thing. I thought breaking the imei would be a good place to start. There's an easy to access internal antenna I was also considering disconnecting as well to try to prevent the devices communication with the mother station..
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.

Never really thought about it myself but i would start by downloading the rom that you wanted to flash to the device and start removing the ril files and any verizon apps. Also wtihout the sim card I'm pretty sure the phone isnt really connecting to the network to begin with. I have a spare s3 laying around so I'll try to see what i can figure out for you

Like I said, I went to the thread link, listed below and flashed this on a Galaxy S "Fascinate" it was successful. The flash removed all the telephony services.
This zip should theoretically work on any phone. But I think this doesn't work on the GS3 maybe do to the naming that Samsung uses on the system apks.
