you could try entering ##3282# , please wait while initiating...click edit mode, enter your msl. you can call sprint for your msl or run logcat and find the six digit number in there.
click on evdo, then click preferred mode. you should see automatic, hdr only, digital only, cdma only. try using digital only, it should run evdo only. also try hdr only as it should also only run in digital.
I tried entering that number and it says.the number or code u enterd is incorrect

That will only work if you're running a SenseUI (sucks, I know) ROM that has QPST on it. Flash a rom such as Nfinite's NFX or something like that. Then those ##xxxx# codes will work.
I believe you can still access basically the same menu on an aosp rom, don't remember the *#*#XXXX#*#* code though
You could check the market for an app called "network" or something similar. It may open it up

I can confirm, you need to use NFX 2.1 rom, as the FroyoSense is a GSM rom that is ported over to CDMA hero, and GSM roms dont use EPST as CDMA phones do...
So if I did the data thing would it still work if I switched back to this Rom

Well this seems to be working I switched back to nfx hero and there's a root app for cdma phones called msl reader I went to the settings selected evdo set it to hdr then I went to the top forgot what its called then hit enable then I pressed comit chAnges and it rebooted now its staying on evdo but will it still be saved in the settings if I switch back to a gsm Rom

thats great. glad i could help you out. be aware that while running evdo/digital only you wont be able to receive or place calls. calls use 1x and if im not mistaken, sms also needs 1x. thats how it was back in the day, anyway. so if you use the device strictly as a modem then you dont have to worry about switching back when youre finished with your data'ing.

Just got the revolution. 4g is killing my battery. I was wondering if there is anyway to toggle between 4g and 3g?
settings/wireless networks/mobile networks/system select/network mode/ select cdma only and it will reboot.
unfortunately, the only way to do it makes the phone reboot.. wonder why.. the charge can do it without rebooting
Widget
So theres no toggle widget like the evo? Kinda a lame. Does this cut all mobile data or does it just set me to 3g. Stupid questions ,but just asking.

setting to cdma limits it to 3g which is kinda useless since 4g allows for voice + data which is a big deal. it really is dumb how it has to reboot. hope a rooted rom fixes this somehow.
I think that would require a radio update from LG if i'm not mistaken. Someone will correct me if i'm wrong. I guess a rom dev could fake a reboot or something possibly. I really don't have that big of an issue letting it reboot.

Nah, looking through the code and it doesn't seem to *require* a reboot, it's just LG's cheap way to avoid having to tell all the 4G-related frameworks that 4g isn't available anymore.
They took the easy route it would appear.. (however, I haven't dumped the radio just yet, so I honestly dunno if it's required by the radio)

I tried it on my unrooted HTC one, the app takes very long time to try roaming, but fails. I checked it under about, it says "Not roaming". How did you make it work, thanks.
I'm rooted, using v 1.4 of roam control which had been reported to work with the one.
my set up: using PRL 01115
Mobile data > network mode > automatic
Domestic voice and data are checked.
I am able to force the phone to roam and the roaming 3g speeds are at least double that of sprint's 3g speeds.
hope that helps.

The newest 2.8 update fixed all the licensing problems for me, but their support was frankly atrocious and did not get back to me at all. By the time they pushed the 2.8 update, my 7 day window for a refund had expired, so I wasn't able to refund/rebuy at the $1.
I have no problem with paying a dev for their work, but keep in mind that their e-mail support seems very hit and miss, which is poor form.
This is to fix Mms message on metropcs flashed sprint galaxy s 4 your phone most already be flashed to metropcs with working internet, Flash the zip in recovery and reboot, mms messages should work from first boot. This will last thru a factory reset.
Edit: I was ask to add some details as to wat the zips doing and wat I do. I edit the mms-config.xml in the stock Mms.apk/SecMms.apk to settings from verizon which work for metropcs, I also use an apns-conf.xml that I edited for metropcs. the zip will mount data and mount system, it will delete Mms.apk/SecMms.apk and Mms.odex/SecMms.odex, it will delete dalvik-cache for Mms.apk/SecMms.apk, it will delete the telephony.db file in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ which countains apns. it will replace Mms.apk/SecMms.apk with the one I edited for metropcs it also replaces the apns-conf.xml in /system/etc/ which countains the default apns for the one I edited for metropcs (on first boot the phone will create a new telephony.db with the default apns countained in this apns-conf.xml, that is why this fix lasts thru a datawipe/factory reset). For more details take a look at the updater-script.
for the 4.3 script, flash the zip - reboot to system. Then open dialer and dial ##3282# hit edit enter spc then go to more then lte apn settings and click the circle on the right of the global roaming apn to activate it then hit home and all should be good
if you have issue where messaging app has default android icon use root explorer go to /system/app long press on SecMms.apk select move hit back hit back again go to /sdcard and paste SecMms.apk on sdcard, it should now show the up on sdcard with normal icon long press on SecMms.apk select move hit back go to /system/app and paste SecMms.apk back in /system/app and reboot phone should now show normal messaging icon
I am not responseable for anything that happens

Hang on...I must clarify. As much as I love to profit off of Metro flashes, we need to get the facts straight.
Flashed phones to Metro will not work nationwide. Boost will. Metro has better talk & text in their coverage area, but their data can either be equal to or slightly slower then Boost (depends what time of the day you're on the network). We also JUST got 3g here in the Tampa Bay area, and we're a huge market, go figure.

ive had very good luck though if i may say so myself. i have traveled to florida new york san francisco and alabama and gotten very good coverage on my flashed s3 from verizon and im suing the 3033 prl in atlanta. its faster than i could have hoped for. i have heard though before that flashed phones do not work well outside of the state theyre flashed in but aside form that metro itself has bigger coverage than boost and sprint. and now they are merging with t-mobile although im still not sure how thats working out because theyre rolling out city by city certain thing such as hartford dallas baltimore and i think boston.

now a days its all lte anyways so no one uses 3g
Then you would have been the first. I've been flashing in this area for over 2 years at least, and none of my fellow flashers in the area got 3g besides 1 tower near University Mall.

I updated to the latest OTA and I now don't have simultaneous voice + LTE. I know that the new tri band phones with Sprint Spark lost this feature but I didn't think the OTA would break an existing feature. Anyone else experience this??
First off, wrong section. Secondly, there is no way for that to be possible. When I was using the Sense 5.5 ports, the LTE signal would disappear on call, but the devs confirmed it was still working. We never found out why it happened, but data & voice on LTE will always work hence why everyone SVDO was dropped.

The EVO LTE & S3 generation of phones were the only SVDO phones. S4 until now CAN'T do voice over 3g. You'll only get voice/data on WiFi and/or LTE!
I have noticed that since the update every-time I end a call I get the no data message and it takes 20-30 seconds for it to come back, rather annoying actually.

Won't save battery, there's only one radio in this device. The reason this saved battery in other devices is because you were turning off a radio.

This isn't technically true. LTE uses more energy than 3G. It doesn't matter how many radios you have. That's just how the technology works. 2 identical phones on the desk next to each other, one connected to LTE and one on 3G, the LTE one is using more energy.
You can read more about that here:
