3g lock with native hotspot mod - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Free mobile app

I recent rooted/unlocked native hotspot on S5. Worked great then LTE/spark disappeared and now its stuck on 3g. However I go 15 miles away and it works. Then when I get near my house it switches back to 3g. Is this a network tower issue /update or a root issue? Please help.

Try updating prl or disabling 3g band

Just updated the mod, it no longer modifies the APN, try it out and see if it helps.

[Q] APN settings for Simple Mobile

Tried searching and could not find any settings that worked for me. On my N4 I used what is on the simple mobile site and I had internet but no mms. Now I cant even seem to get the internet to work. I have tried different settings I found online but none seem to work for my N5. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Confirmed working on simple mobile.
Make sure you select simple mobile network from available network.

Quick update. Switched to 3g and data is faster. May just be my area.

Nexus 5 3G connection hangs

Hello, sometimes I have this problem that I randomly can't use 3G data. The 3G icon is still grey (if there's no data its brown), but nothing that requires internet works. Also, the two small arrows near the 3G icon show me that no download is taking place (no down pointing arrow) and only upload arrow is active. Does anyone else have/had this kind of problem?

Same problem here
It could be the APN? Does LTE or Edge work?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
It happens randomly, I am not willing to test the crawling EDGE and I don't have LTE either. I'll add that my previous phone didn't have this issue.

I had a nexus 4 that cut out and bars went at my mates, a 3 blackspot. My Nexus 5 shows bars but looses data and sometimes says I need to insert a working sim and reboot. None of this happens at home. It's like the phone has a breakdown with a weak signal!

Anyone's YouTube app been buffering like crazy on mobile data?

This started for me about two days ago. I've uninstalled, cleared cache and data. I finally got it working again by reverting back to the stock pre-installed app. Anyone know where to get the version before this most recent update?

Reverting back to the originally installed app should help.

I kept getting FC's until I uninstalled the updates.
Been happening to me and I've been on WiFi.
What Rom are you guys on? I'm on stock and I haven't had this issue

It's also been happening to me over Wi-Fi as well.

I've had this happen to me as well. Could never figure out what it was but eventually the problem went away. My only theory is Verizon throttling me for using to much data but I don't know cause I average about 30-40gigs a month and it doesn't happen every month.
Getting the same over data

I tried a few older YouTube apks and I am happy with 5.3.23. Everything after that buffers like crazy for me.

Sprint problems

I just switched over from att to sprint and got a sprint sim card activated for the phone, I can use lte data text and receive calls, but every time I try and make calls it disconnects and starts searching for network.
Anybody know how to fix this?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Did you check your APNs?
It doesn't give that option in the settings
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Try changing the preferred network type.
Yeah I've tried that, it's weird because the data will work perfect fast 4g, and I can get calls send texts etc.
But the moment I try calling it disconnects and starts searching for service
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Dial*#*#4636#*#*. Then make sure under phone is set to LTE/CDMA auto prl.
It was at to LTE cdma
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I'm assuming that you have tried the prl and profile updates. In the test mode (4636) switch to lte/gsm/cdma and then back to lte/cdma. Choose global instead of lte for the preferred network type.
Which radio? It might be a CSFB issue. You might try the .17.

I tried switching to GSM and then back to cdma didn't work, I have update the prl and didn't Work
Any other suggestions?
