I use it on my S3 to navigate to my next stop when I can't get a Sprint signal. But I just upgraded to the S5 and it doesn't seem to work on OG1 stock rooted. Tried it in CDMA mode, with updated profile and prl. I know from searching around the forum it used to work on the S5, so just wondering if anyone has had any luck with it lately, or maybe an alternative solution? I really don't want to have swap prl's unless there's no other way. Any help is appreciated.

One thing that I liked about my N1 with CM7 was that I could easily switch between Edge and 3G to help save battery life. I haven't found such functionality with the Skyrocket and I have tried 3 different ROMs and none of them have been able to do it either. The best they seem to do is turn off LTE, which doesn't do much because I don't have LTE service in my area. Could it just be that I'm using the wrong ROM, or is this technically impossible, or is it that until we get the AOSP developers won't know how to get to such functionality?
Here is the thread you need. Flash the Rogers radio, then go into network selection and pick manual. It'll sit for a few but afterwards you'll be able to switch from gsm/auto to gsm only..or whatever options are in there.

Hi guys.I have simple mobile sim card (which works with T-mobile towers) and I get galaxy sii gt-i9100 (universal version). the problem is I'm getting 2g (edge) speed only, I read that you can flash your radio firmware after rooting to get HSMA+ mode then you'll have the 3g\4g internet.I already rooted my device but I don't know what to do now!
please anyone can help?
I need some help about that too, I wish this post had more attention, and replies. So I'm kinda moving it up right now.
Btw it might be impossible for us to get 4g, but I'll be happier when I get 3g instead of 2g. so, I'm looking for a solution too, I'll keep you posted if I find anything helpful.

Unfortunately there is no solution for that. I already sold out my phone and got new Galaxy s3 (T-MOBILE VERSION) from ebay for 519$ and I'm enjoying the 4G bless..if you need any further assistance I'll be more than glad to help.
Hi everyone - I have a Verizon S3 that I use without any trouble here in the UK. My network (Three Mobile) will soon be turning on their 4G system, and everyone with a 4G device will be able to use it - including me. The only problem is that in order to use 4G you need an OTA update - whether this update is an actual firmware update or just changes to the APN settings, Three don't seem to want to tell me (or more likely, the Three reps don't know).
This OTA update is only going to be sent to Three branded phones and unbranded phones - meaning my Verizon S3 isn't going to get 4G enabled if I leave it as it is.
What I'm wondering, is if there's a way to load the Verizon S3 4G LTE with a standard Samsung ROM that's totally unbranded. That way I should be able to get Three's update and use 4G.
I'm new to this, and I've never flashed a phone before - all Google seems to bring up is Cyanogenmod, but I think that's a bit more custom than I want - I'm looking for something totally vanilla minus the Verizon junk. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? And has anyone used a flashed Verizon S3 in Europe?
Thanks a bunch,
Noam
Would CleanRom 7 work for this? scottsroms .com/downloads.php?do=file&id=415
I see that it's based on "the latest Verizon released VRBMF1 Jellybean 4.1.2 Base and is De-Odex" - does this mean it will still appear to be a Verizon branded phone? Any ideas?
Thanks again.
Hello everyone..
I had a Galaxy S3 with Sprint and was happy I was able to browse and talk at the same time but can't anymore because of this Sprint Spark network. I've read hand full of messages about this issue and ppl are still pissed about it. I wished Sprint would have installed 2 antennas into my recently upgraded Galaxy S5 (and other Spark phones) while they are still working out the kinks. I use data and talk all the time, especially if I'm using the GPS. And definitely because I have a side gig where I drive and use GPS and talk on the phone for dropoffs/pickups.
My question is, has anyone figured out a work around to this issue to be able to talk and use data? And I'm not talking about using WiFi.
I was thinking if there's a hack where we can physically replace the antennae with the older LTE antenna,?
If the current Spark is triband, does that mean it should still be compatible with the older LTE versions? Is there a way to disable Spark, and use the other band so we can talk and browse?
Rooting apps?
I have 1 week left before deciding to stay with Sprint, or simply just use an older phone--i suppose the Galaxy S4. Or Tmobile would be the next better affordable carrier, but too bad they don't take corporate discounts anymore.
I hope when VoLTE rolls out, it is compatble with the GS5 and I won't need to get another device and its software related on my end. I read rumours it should have been mid-2015, but now I read some other msgs late 2015, nothing official.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Hello.
I need some help with my S5. like the title says, i don't have the option for wifi tethering also i don't have the wifi calling option either.
i live outside the US (dominican republic) and i can't do the update PRL thing. i tried to do that last time i was in the US (2 months ago) but since my phone was not activated on the sprint network it wouldn't work, the hands free activation would just go on and on and on until it failed. Anyone knows a way to activate those options?
what carrier do you use? GSM, I assume. if so, a PRL isnt ever going to work. The native hotspot on a 6.0 ROM is available and there are a few threads on that very topic. I also suggest idoneapps.com for their forums regarding this device as @Nodial is a manimal!!
