Yeah, he means PRL. Those two terms get mixed up so much that I've sort of become numb to it.
However, I do have a question. I'm currently running an AOSP ROM, and I don't get the PRL update option like I do with Sense ROMs. There is a software update option in the Settings->About menu, but it just says that everything is up to date (I currently have PRL 60674). Is there any way to do a PRL update in AOSP, or do I have to flash a Sense ROM to do it (ugh, and probably not worth it)?

Have to flash a sense rom (at least that's the case right now).

quick PRL def from what i've read on here, "Public Radio License" it just says what radio towers your phone can use.
Sense roms with downgraded ESPT or something can flash Verizon PRLs to use Verizon towers, i tried this in the same spots tethering through laptop.
Sprint PRL i avg'd 700kbps download and 120ping(would spike every 3-4 seconds to 800~)
Verizon PRL i avg'd 1.3mbps download and 300ping(very steady...never spiked)
on CM7, to lazy to restore a Sense rom just to update PRL...lol, maybe later when I flash my phone again in a day or so.
EDIT: PRL means Preferred Roaming List....i stand corrected. wutevs =D close enough

PRL does not mean "Public Radio License" Did you just make that up to sound cool, Nrre?
PRL is Priority Roaming List. Basically it tells your phone which towers/frequencies to prefer.

[Q] D2G on AT&T.... I'm confused

I'm confused as heck. I have been looking around for an hour and can't find an answer. Will the D2G work with AT&T in the US?

It wont work on any US simcard/carrier other than verizon as carriers use a specific network ID which has been blocked on the droid 2 global (att, tmobile, etc.) However, I've seen people post that theres a workaround to this but there's a price for that and you've also got to send them your phone I believe.

It's a hardware modification if I'm not mistaken which is why you have to send the phone to them.

It is a software only mod.

It is definitely NOT a hardware modification. The reason we need the phone is because it involves flashing a special file to the radio image.

[Q] ROMs that include WiFi calling?

I'm more than likely going to a Nexus S today.
I'm curious - what ROMs are you familiar with that come "out of the box" with T-Mobile WIFI calling, or are known to have no known issues with it if installed after the fact?
Thanks so much!

None. The T-Mobile WiFi calling app requires support from T-Mobile. It can be ported by it requires a lot of work.

Maybe I'm confused then - I could have sworn at one point that it was included with CM7 - I could be completely wrong though!

It hasn't been forgotten, it's not available because the RIL on the Nexus S doesn't support the auth calls necessary to switch to GAN. Kineto blames Google for this. No other RILs from other Samsung devices work on the Nexus S either. Until we get a RIL that supports the necessary calls to switch to GAN it's not going to happen.

There is a rather long thread in the dev section, but that's really it. After kineto passed the buck an none of the new RILs from this current Gen of Samsung devices worked it was fairly evident we weren't getting much further until a working RIL comes with an OTA (unlikely given kinetos response) or a future device has a RIL that works on the Nexus S and supports wifi calling (not looking great either).

Google Wallet compatibility

I'm rolling with a Nexus S right now, and just discovered and started using Google Wallet. I know that the One X(L) has the NFC chip, but can anyone confirm that it is compatible with Google Wallet? It's not a deal-breaker, but it is up there on my list of features that I'd rather not do without.

I thought wallet is only available on sprint/ unlocked nexus phones.

Depends on Carrier. AT&T wont allow it because its putting all of its resources into Isis.

Seems to work on the nexus s that I have on at&t, although I have not tested it by tapping the phone yet. The software installed and I was able to set it up though.

AT&T might not support it, but we will find a way to put it on

There could be so many security holes though if we went about it that way. I think in this case it'd be best to wait for whatever comes out ISIS or whatever.

I tried it on my Rogers One X and it says there's a problem with the secure element

Has anyone managed to get this working?

You get $10 for free by using it FYI.
We will get a working APK method eventually of putting it on. Verizon's Gnex wasn't allowing it either but people found a way to get it to work. Its only a matter of time IMO.

Honestly I'm really hating At&t for crippling this device, I really want to try google wallet, and don't want to have to resort to hacks to make it work, but I will if i get the chance

With the main thread for Google Wallet (GW) now reaching well into 200 pages it is getting to the point where it takes hrs to find out if GW will work for you.
lgkahn, daitienshi, and myself have develped a spreadsheet for tracking what works and does not. Feel free to check the list. If the rom you are running is not listed give it a try and let one of us know through a private msg, and we will add it to the list. If you happen to have GW working please let us know so that we can add it to our spreadsheet.
The ATT compatibility thread can be found at. ATT GW Compatibility Thread
Please include the following.
Carrier
ROM
ROM Version
Base Band (this can be found in settings / about phone)
GW version
Any extras that need to be flashed
What build.prop you used and if you changed it back to stock
Any notes that you feel are relevant.
And last but not least DOES IT WORK.

The carriers have been broken out into different tabs at the bottom.​

That makes no sense, if its an at&t branded phone then its going to support what at&t allows. Just because you use another carrier doesn't mean that changes
Starting sometime soon unlocking phones for other carriers is going to become illegal so its definitely not going to be a priority

Lol makes perfect sense to me since I don't use at&t. Especially since at&t will unlock your phone with a 10 minute phone call to their customer service.
Also will us prepaid users even be able to use Isis? Probably not, so will get screwed.
How are they going to make sim unlocking illegal? Jail breaking is already perfectly legal and you can even clone your phone as long as you own both devices and pay for your service.

[Q] Please answer these questions, new owner

My uncle gave me a new Verizon samsung galaxy s3 because he switched over to AT&T and bought an iPhone 5.. I personally myself have an iPhone 5 too, but I been trying to try out this s3. He gave it to me and this is the first time I ever use a phone other than an iPhone.. When I turn it on, on the bottom of the screen it says, custom, what does this mean?
I been reading about the different roms or whatever, how do I know which one is installed so far? I know it's a verizon 1535, and I'm in the process of trying to unlock it using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32900970&postcount=221
However I want to know how I can check what rom or whatever I got (jellybean etc), I am completely new to this and don't know anything at all. I just want it to be up to date on the latest firmware so I can unlock it and use it for a couple weeks to see how it compares to the iPhone.. Thanks guys
I'm a news too, so anything else I should know or check about this phone, please let me know.. Like baseband, or anything of that nature.. I want to know everything thanks

So just to clarify, your trying to use the Verizon S3 on AT&T?
Edit: You can check if the phone has a custom rom by going into settings and scroll down to the bottom and click about phone and post what it says under Legal Information. It should show Model number, Android Version, Baseband Version, Kernal, and Build number

Also if it is showing Custom, it may already be unlocked. I would suggest doing alot of reading in the stickies before you try anything. This is a totally different animal than an iPhone and you can do some serious damage of you don't know what you are doing. Good luck and keep asking questions, after you do some reading, of coarse.

Yeah that's what I'm trying to do.. And I tried reading the stickies but there's so many threads, just talking about roms and etc

Hardware Version : 1535.10

Kernel : 3.0.8-1092717
And I have an iPhone 5 sim, but it already fits in the tray. I'm just trying to make this the easiest possible, thanks for the replies btw

I'd recommend just using the GS3 as is for now so you can become familiar with Android. How can you know what changes you want if you've never even used the stock version?
You'll definitely need a new sim since they're different sizes. VZW will give one to you for free.

To clarify, you had a VZW iPhone5 with the new micro SIM, got a tray to fit the normal mini SIM, and are using that in this new VZW SGS3?
If not,you have a Verizon phone: The sims are completely different in more than just size: AT&T needs if for all GSM, VZW just uses it for LTE and the CDMA portion is tied to the phone ID/programming.
What do you mean "make it official for AT&T?" Do you want to use it on AT&T? If so, see above. If you mean official for VZW, go get a SIM from a corporate store (unless the whole old iPhone one is working with the tray).

From the sounds of it, you seem stock, read and read more, Verizon gs3 doesn't work with international version of the gs3 roms if you try you'll end up with a brick.it's Kool you wanna try out the gs3, but it's really different from an iPhone.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

You have to use Verizon gs3 ROMs with that phone. You could try incubus touchwiz hybrid roms I believe there was at&t one. Maybe the note2 rls9. If that's not what your looking for just Google and if it can be done you will find it somewhere.

You might also look under the device settings. Many time custom ROM builders will put the name of their ROM in the Build number.

I forgot to add that coming from the iPhone you may not know how to get there. You'll need to go the main screen (which usually is what you start on when you turn your phone on) then the menu button and settings then look at the very bottom for "About Phone". How that helps.

Yeah so I could download any roam from this section of the forum? Since its specifically for the verison gs3, can I leave the phone normal and still use it for AT&T or do I need to be on a custom rom or something?
