if i purchase roam control will i get fast 3g while roaming on verizons network or will it be slow. currently now when my phone goes into roaming i get very slow 3g data even if i have full bars
I always wondered how this works too
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
You have to use a prl that supports 3g roaming also. If your just using the prl that came with the phone then your prob only roaming on 1x even though the phone says 3g. Theres lots of threads on this matter however u might find some helpful info in this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906471 btw.....LTE roaming is impossible.
Besides roam control is there any other way to force roaming??

By loading a VZW PRL. There's a thread in the dev section with a bunch of them.

Or manually force your phone to only use the 850mhz band, which is basically what Roam Control does on the S3.
and how do i do that? can you please provide a link

In my house in the back I have no service and it roams and I get 1 bar. When I had my evo 3D it would roam with 3G, but this phone doesntlet the phone roam with data. Is anyone else having this problem and if so is there a fix yet?

Under network settings what is your roaming set to? Sprint or automatic?

Thankyou. I'll report back if it works or not
Sprint is terrible in my area so I always force roam when im home and ive been doing this for about 6 months now with no problems, but Lately when I turn force roam on I get no service or 1 bar. Ive tried to reflashing roms and also updating profile and what not. Any help would be cool, thanks.
Maybe sprint saw how much force roam data you were using and cut you off

Yeah i was thinking that also, it sucks i get no service at my house.

That'd probably what it is. At least they didn't cut you off for roaming too much.

More settings> mobile networks> network mode
Then choose combo with lte listed

It's not working on my either and the LTE option was already chosen.
I believe they screwed up on this, they'll probably fix this with an update.
They're setting us up. They're not gonna give it to us until the 4g lte price hike.

Funny I get 4g like no body's business. I stay connected even more so than my daughter's evo lte.
Try set to home only (sprint) under roaming. Notice my data is a whole lot stable compare to automatic.
Yeah it works...i get 4g. It connects automatically

For those of you that have good lte/ehrpd service in your area I found a little trick to turn on lte only and ehrpd only mode.
Go into ##data# select edit, select others, then select HDR/1x selection I found this out today. Sorry if in wrong thread, a good way to check if you have lte in your area try the sensorly app free on play store
I dont have HDR/1x section!?

Are you on LJC? Or LJ1
thanks...i already know I have lte in my area but we dont have ehrpd and I have been looking for a way to turn it off. on the evo lte tirning it off drastically improved 3g speeds
still playing...so far turning it off does not stick.

Have you tried going to data edit ehrpd menu then select ehrpd you should be able to turn it off like that

those playing with this note...phone calls will not work on lte only
indeed...doesnt seem to stick unless i choose cdma only. wife distracted me tho so havent seriously toyed with it.
hybrid seems to stick...ehrpd stays off and most consistant 3g connection
cdma only was garbage (.02 down and .04 up)
going to test more tomorrow from other locations.

well...so far hybrid may make a difference if there is no lte available... but my tests really have shown nothing conclusive.
for me in my area (lte) it apears to work best on the default setting.
still a cool menu to play with

When I turn on my data it switches between 3g and 4g and I can't even figure it out
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
That is how it is supposed to work, nothing to figure out.
My gfs phones never switches or anything my phones does all the time
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
What is she on and it never switches to what? If she hasn't updated her modem it will stay on 3g all the time. It is like this on every AOSP rom for our phone. Unless there is a theme that edits it out.
If speedtest says it's fine, it's fine.
It just switches from 4g to 3g all the time but I guess I'll have to live with it
