Phone enters Roaming after profile update? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after I update my profile, the phone goes into roaming mode.
To get it out, I have to update the PRL to another one, and it's fine. Then update profile and roaming.
Any fix?

EVDO Problems

I have Damagecontrol V0.9999 installed and data network works great with me but when ever i flash any other rom it stops working and says that service is unavailable. It just starts for first minute when new ROM boots up and then nothing. Not even the icon comes on top
baseband is 2.41.05.02.03
software is 2.26.605.2
Any ideas guys..
Guys please help...
I checked and found out that Version 2.1 works fine on my Phone but 2.1 Update 1 doesnt work. Which may have caused this problems. Any Suggestions..
Not sure I can help much. I'm not with sprint so I'm not real familiar with their settings. I'm Making the Assumption you are. If not let us know what carrier you are with.
Are you able to update your profile from settings >About Phone >Network >Update Profile?
Does the mobile network say connected or turning on in Settings >Wireless & Networks?
It could Be PRI related check it in Settings >About Phone >Software Information and report back with what version you have.
Get that info and note anything else the you think may be relevant ad we'll go from there.
Thanks a lot for the reply.
I am with Reliance CDMA Network in India.
There is no Update Profile setting here >About Phone >Network >Update Profile
Does the mobile network say connected or turning on in Settings >Wireless & Networks?..It says Disconnected because service is unavailable. When i reboot my Device. The 3G ICON comes for a minute or 2 and goes away.
PRI Version is 1.70 in working and 1.70_003 in not working
It also could be an issue with flashing Sprint roms. You might try the bitter sweet Rom.
Do you know if it works in the few moments that comes up. I had reset my PRI and lost my EVDO but it would not work at all, the mobile network would just say turning on all the time and the phone would get hot.
I had to compare/correct settings in the EPST menu with another HERO from my carrier. To access the menu dial ##778# I think the password for edit mode is your MSL mine was 6 zeros yours may be the same. View Mode will not show the Security section info. The settings that finally did the trick for me are below
Security Section
HDR AN Auth User ID
(LONG)
[email protected]
HDR AN Auth Password ID
xxxx
PPP User ID
[email protected]
PPP Password
xxxx
M.IP Default Profile Section
NAI
[email protected]
The HDR AN Auth User ID (LONG) may or may not start with evdo but from 2 carriers that I looked at they were similar. The small x's will be specific to you carrier. The capital Xs were my 10 digit phone number. Like I said best thing would be to do a side by side compare of yours and someone's that is working.
If all this compare and are all good I guess it is possible it could be hardware related. Good luck
But it works with Darkchoid and Damage Control V0.9999 but not other roms. Do these setting changes with ROMS
Mine did that. I put in airplane mode and back to normal and it restarted the data service and now it works

I tried on every ROM. Only Damagecontrol 0.99999 works and darchdroid all evrsions work..
guys plz help
Try dialling *#*#4636#*#* and go into "Phone Info". Hit the menu button then "More". There should be an option there to enable data connection. Also, did you make sure that Sprint DSA is disabled?
I am having similar issue but I have no internet at all . Just got a replacement phone today from nTelos . Got home , created goldcard and ruu to sprint . Rooted the phone and now the Evdo is not working ? I can make calls and receive and all that , however, no internet ??
I went ahead flashed Fresh Toast v2.1 and matching radio but still nothing ?? Any ideas ??

4g lte gone, ideas?

Ok here's the deal. Upgraded to ICS 232 and all went pretty much flawless other than motoprint no longer works. All was good and I was in happy land. However with ICS was stuck in 4g mode all the time and was sucking my battery like a hungry vampire. So I went into phone info and changed to CDMA auto PRL . Locked me in 3g only. Was back in happy land, battery life good again. Well I wanted to use my 4g so I went in to turn it on and it kills all data. No 4g, no 3g not even evdo. When I reboot it always resets back to CDMA auto PRL only.
Any ideas short of factory reset?

Turn off phone, remove SIM, reboot without SIM. After it's on, turn it off again, re-insert SIM and restart it. Try toggling 4G with *#*#4636#*#*
This sometimes works, as does toggling airplane mode

Same problem for me. I have tried toggling airplane mode, tried toggling wifi, rebooting, simply cannot get the phone out of cdma only (prl) mode.if anyone has experience in fixing this, it would be greatly appreciated! I even went though VZW's level 3 tech support and told then I have Ics on my bionic (which didn't void my warranty?) But they were at a loss...
SOLVED

you cannot switch back to 4g (LTE/CDMA/EvDo) if you have "Data roaming" enabled. Uncheck the data roaming box and try it again. Worked for me. :good:
Had this happen to me when I tried to enable Juice Defender's AOSP helper on the official ICS (though I had to update manually using HouseofBionic's method). It dropped me to 3G only, and the "preferred network" setting is grayed out, but showing LTE/CDMA. Clearly, the setting was inaccessible.
I uninstalled AOSP Helper, then disabled JuiceDefender.
Then I went into the Hidden Menu (that 4636 thing) and it says CDMA Auto (PRL). I tried to change it to CDMA/LTE/EVDO , then reboot, but it's still 3G. Went back into Hidden menu, it's back to CDMA Auto (PRL).
Went back in, change it again to CDMA/LTE/EVDO, but this time there's a "refresh" button below that, to update the IMSC I think. I hit that.
Reboot phone, now I have no 3G
Went to settings / data usage to toggle data, nothing.
Went to airplane mode, out, and voila, 4G/LTE.
Not sure which one of those actually forced the update, but it worked, so if someone else had the same problem, try that.

HTC One M8 reception worse than M7

I just got my new M8 today. Did the update, activated it, did the profile & PRL update, etc.
I am constantly getting the message that I am roaming on data. It seems to go back and forth between roaming and not roaming. Even outside I only get 1 bar of LTE and the LTE signal is a good 10dBvm worse than my old M7. My M7 never switched to roaming in the same location.
Anyone else noticing worse reception on this phone than the old HTC One?
I'm having the same issue.

I was worried bout the same myself. In the office with the M7, I wan't able to get LTE, but luckily with the M8 I am able too. I would have your phone checked at a corporate Sprint Store to see if it's faulty

I had the same issue yesterday when I upgraded my radios to the new version (1.54). I was stuck in 3G roaming at my house which was normally low end LTE service before the upgrade. After flashing the radios I did a Profile and PRL update using WIFI, then restated my M8. After the restart I am back to having LTE coverage floating around -90-95 dBvm. I also notice that if LTE fails to connect swithing airplane mode On/Off helps as well as dialing *18 from the dialer. Hope it helps.

I already did the profile/prl updates, and my phone isn't stuck on 3G. It will go 3G roaming, then 3G on sprint, then LTE. Seems to not be able to make up its mind. On my old phone it would usually toggle between LTE and 3G in this area, but NEVER did it go roaming. Even when I'm on WIFI I still get the annoying roaming notification in the notification bar every 5 minutes.
I also noticed my WiFi download speed on wireless AC is significantly worse than my M7. I used to be able to get 70mpbs on a speed test, this phone won't even break 12mbps. When I first turned the phone on it would only work on WiFi for the first 3 seconds after connecting and then it would stop. I had to keep connecting and disconnecting to WiFi to limp the software update download along. After it updated it at least stays connected and working on WiFi, but a lot slower than my old M7.
This phone was purchased on a SWAC account so I'm not sure if a Sprint store (which is 40 minutes away for the nearest one) would swap it for me.
Moved to Q&A...all questions should be posted in Q&A.

No LTE and delayed SMS

Over the last few days I have had no LTE (Only 3g) and SMS have been delayed getting sent. Im in the Minneapolis area. Anybody have the same issues or have a solutions I can try. I have tried updating the profile and updating the PRL. Any help is appreciated.
My area was riddled with that for months, turns out Sprint was upgrading the towers for circuit switch fall back. A good way to see if this is the case put your M8 in LTE only mode (dial *#*#4636#*#*) and select LTE only. If your connection comes up with LTE then that is the case. I would also try and update your profile and update the PRL sometimes that helps with connection issues.
I tried the Testing mode and get no signal when i put it in LTE mode.
Thats is no bueno, the only other thing I would suggest is calling Sprint and have an engineer check out your towers.

Data Issues after upgrading rom and radios

I recently switched from an older version of Pure Nexus to Lineage OS. Lineage recommended flashing the latest radios which I did before upgrading, but now I'm having issues. At first I didn't have any LTE connection, 3G would work if I was in an area that was typically 3G only. I figured out that the APN settings were set to one that said "CDMA 0" and didn't appear to have any settings. I changed that to Sprint Internet n.ispsn and LTE comes on. However, this doesn't stay set and keeps going back to CDMA 0 and yesterday, while I was driving all of my cell service, kept dropping out for 5-30 seconds at a time before coming back on. I'm not sure if this is a ROM issue or a radio issue since I flash those too. Anyone know?

I have also had some issues with LTE after flashing the latest radio but no problems with the APN settings. I haven't done it yet since the June update should be out soon but if the update doesn't have a new version of the radio I'm going to try flashing an older version to see if that helps.
You can always roll back the radio. Just flash an older one and test it. I haven't been on cdma for a while but if you can update the PRL still you might get better reception.

To update this for anyone having a similar issue, I went to the APN settings and did Reset to Default. Seems to have fixed it.
