Looking for a way to update my own PRL running on the Sprint network. I have my MSL and already enabled the other LTE bands so I know that functions correctly. Thanks!
I am wanting to do this as well. Dial codes work but i cant find the one to write the prl. On samsung TW roms its ##DATA## but that dosnt work here. I tied *#*#data#*#* and that shows some menus but none to wright the prl
Seems like I remember seeing that there is a SprintHiddenMenu.apk that ships with the phone. Do you see it in /system/app? Not sure if it will have a PRL update option, but might be worth a look. I'll be using mine on Sprint too, so I'd be interested to know what you find.

I wouldn't be surprised if sprint hasn't had enough of your 00001 prl flashing.
Anyone figure out how to do this? We need diag mode, diag driver and probably a new version of qpst.

Definitely still looking...I saw they figured out how to do it with the LG G2 so since this phone is loosely similar I imagine the process should be close. The G2 has to have a diag mode enabled...I really think the key is figuring what dialer code this actually is.
Looking forward to this too. LTE keeps breaking after 30 seconds or so, not that the speeds are any good in Chicago anyway. Can't wait to do some Verizon roaming. Being stuck on Sprint 3g is not ideal.
Yeah but the problem is the LG G2 does not have the same software. This phone isn't only built for Sprint so I have a feeling it will be more difficult.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
It is built for Sprint. That's why it works on Sprint. It's capable of running on every network short done lte stuff with Verizon. It won't run Verizon as a primary but does roam there. I'm sure there is a way just weather or not you will have to use cdma tool to do it.

Has there been any new info on this? My girl is almost about to activate her Nexus 5 (once the sim card arrives). But really need to be able to force roam or at least use 00001 prl.
Bumpity Bump. You guys figured anything out yet? Would love to use the corporate PRL for actual 3G roaming.
Bump :X
Hoping someone finds something soon. I always roam on Verizon at my house but my plan only lets me use 1x... Need dat 3G xD.

So after rooting my.nexus s I forgot to update my profile and prl, now I was waiting for a call and never got it but apperently the phone is.not receiving calls, those anyone know if it has to do with rooting? Data works fine I think.is weird cause I root a few evos and never had this problem but to update prl and profile it looks like the nexus call some weird number

Nvm guys is sprint messing up now is on roaming and never had it at home and I know is sprint cause my wife just got home and her phone is roaming to and I haven't done anything to hers and she.never had roaming in the last year
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I have the same issue and I am not roaming. I have tried Rooted and Unrooted. I personally think it is a Sprint issue as you suggest but I also think it is a Qualcom/Samsung issue. I have a new one coming in tomorrow. If it exhibits the same behavior I will wait it out.

First of all, sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum or if it has been asked somewhere already, but I was not able to find it anywhere though Google and searching through this site.
Anyways, I was wondering if it is possible to fully and effectively unlock a AT&T S3 to use on the VZW network. I know vzw has a secured cdma network that only allows approved devices but with all the great devs out there, is there some wah to do it? Thanks for any input !
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I don't think you can do that as Verizon uses different lte bands and two its cdma network even tho it uses a sim! I could be wrong but I know it can only work the other way round but thats only on 3G tho
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I have the same problem except the other way around...I want to convert a Verizon one to att. I already flashed a AT&T rom and have working voice and data, but only 2g which is so slow, I don't even remember how I lived with it. I'm thinking of just buying a motherboard from the att one and sticking it in my Verizon one. Does anyone know if the motherboard has the part I need for the radios, or is the radio separate?
Sounds easier to try to do a trade on Craigslist or something.

I've also running on EDGE connection, which is horrid, but livable. Due to thaat I'm running a T-Mobile network on a Verizon S3.
Been on the iPhone for close to a year. I'm tagging out! Coming back to android and the ultra or maxx has been the device I've set as my decision. However I'm a tmobile user. Maxx has the battery life I need so I want to clarify before I pick one up what any glitches of the device may be on the network. I've been reading with the kitkat update there is some sort of issue with the enabled lte and not being able to utilize SMS/phone at the same time as lte data? Is this true? If so any possible way to remain on H+ without activating lte or inputting apn settings? Or has this been rectified? Lol.....rectified.
Any input anyone has is appreciated. And yes I know. I should get verizon. I've been with tmobile for 12 years. I just can't beat their price right now and I live in an lte city. When I go out in the county it's a different story. But one day I'll jump ship. Maybe intervention is required. But right now I wanna stay with the T.

"LTE Thunderbolt" on the play store will be your best friend while on T-mobile
Works wonders with moto devices, you can choose which exact signal the phone should look for (LTE included)
Great phone period. On vodafone with it right now, used that app to ONLY look for HSPA+ and everything is golden Lemme know if you have any other questions, but that app should fix ya up
Awesome thanks bud. I was a but concerned about that whole hiccup and was making me second guess getting it, but the phone seems to be the best choice for me out of any available android phone. Hopefully this will get worked out. Do you find it a little inconvenient to switch signals or do you just stick with the hspa signal permanently?

With the KitKat update. It's pretty annoying that I can't make phone call and send text message when it is on LTE. Gotta switch back to 2g , edge before sending text , make call. There is no option to disable LTE to stay on H+ .

That's disappointing. Unfortunately I just spent 400 dollars on one. Welp I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed. Glad I didn't trade my iphone off yet in case. Well I hope this can be tweaked. =\
You can switch the phone into gsm only using phone info. If lte is disabled you'll be fine on KK until they fix it. LTE/GSM works fine on 4.2. I'll link a copy of phone info to make the change. Please don't modify other settings as you can potentially permanently damage the radio. You'll get HSPA+ in refarmed areas. EDGE everywhere else.

Thanks for this! Are the odds pretty good that this will be taken care of in a future update? I feel like I don't expect it since it's not a verizon critical issue. Would this be taken care of in a future KK update or firmware? Thanks for your help so far everyone
I had talked to a contact of mine at Motorola and they were unaware of the issue til I brought it to him. It's on the list of things to fix.

You're doin it wrong GSM only disables the LTE radio.
If I'm understanding arcanexvi's post correctly it instructs to switch to "gsm only" and not "gsm auto", though it's circled in the illustration. Hard for me to speculate though until I have the phone in hand.
Lol you beat me to it. I can see the confusion though since gsm auto is circled in the photo. It's like sitting in the drivers seat getting directions from the passenger and they say left and point to the right lol. I'll let ya know how it goes when I get the phone. Thanks bud.

If the phone realizes you're not in the mode selected on the mobile network page it'll revert. I have it noted in the thread I created regarding this issue.

I'm running 4.4.2 on my LG G2 for AT&T
My wife just got the same phone and her phone shows 4G/LTE Mine shows only 4G
I checked our APN settings for both and they're the same
I checked through the 4636 code through the phone and it shows only the HSPA letters where hers shows up once again with LTE
ANY advice would be great
Try turning data off then on again, it will force it to search for the network.

i tried that one...and i tried the 4646 code and theres no option to change the NETWORK type...this friggin sux...no LTE on this phone and only "4G"...been tryng to figure this one out..
any advice much appreciated.
Maybe replace it?
If this is a new phone that you haven't tampered with, I suggest that you exchange it. New phones don't need any change in settings to connect to LTE out of the box.
Maybe it's a hardware problem. Did this problem just appear out of nowhere? (maybe after the update)?

you might be 'ROAMING'
this happens to me. i think theres no att tower near me, i think they use someone elses lte tower, but half of the android phones ive used need roaming enabled to connect to lte in my area. try that it might work.. its in the normal settings app under networks enable all roaming. never had any extra charges. att covers the nation and doesnt count local roaming.
BUT i agree with this guy if my suggestion doesnt work

I constantly get stuck in 3g and when I update the PRL, my signal will switch to LTE and work fine for a while. Is this common or do I have a defective phone? I went to the Samsung reps @ Best Buy and all he did was reinstall an update.

I would check which APN your phone goes to on the phone, Settings -> More Networks -> Mobile Networks -> click either Access Pint Names (to check which APN selected) or click Network Type (make sure automatic or CDMA/LTE, not just 3G).
Its set to CMDA/LTE and the APN is APN2 LTE (n.ispsn) internet. There are no other APNs.

Ok after some troubleshooting, it has nothing to do with the PRL. I can put the phone in and out of airplane mode and it will aquire LTE. Is this happening to anyone else or should I take my phone back for repair?

There's no way to repair it. I've had this issue since I bought the S5 at launch. This is just how it is until the towers are completely upgraded. Calling Sprint gets you no where most of the time about this issue. They will say the phone is defective but you can find many many ppl having this issue.

I know that it's not a real solution, but I found an app, LTE Discovery, that does this in the background. So far I have not seen 3g on my phone.

I had to pay $1.99 for full access, but there is an option to only cycle when on 3g. It does it all in the background, and doesn't really drain the battery. My only complaint is that it stays active and cycling while on wi-fi in a non LTE area. I've only had that in one place in KC, but no wireless service works at that location.
On 4G LTE, PRL's update automatically each time they connect to a tower. I think only 3G and earlier did you have to manually update PRL's. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's right. So technically, just cycling through airplane mode would update your PRL
my S5 won't receive calls or text
My S5 won't receive calls or texts. I spent hours with Sprint on the line, they were sending updates, having me manually program it and nothing. They would call my cell and straight to VM. They would send text, and i wouldnt get them.
I'm having to send it back, I'm not sure I will get another S5. I'm thinking a phone should be able to receive/make actual calls.

You are probably in an area that is in the partial stages of a Spark Upgrade. If you disable LTE bands 41 and 26 but leave LTE band 25 enabled, you will have stable data.
