I'm getting a chance to do some extended testing with data roaming. I found a couple of other data roaming problem threads, but this issue is different than the problems discussed in those.
The HTC One is rooted, unlocked, S-OFF, stock 4.4.2 (4.06.651.4), with PRL 56018 installed from CDMA Workshop. I've installed a couple of the patches floating around for WiFi tether. I also have an HTC EVO 4G LTE with the 56018 PRL installed via QPST.
Right now, I am in an area with extremely weak Sprint signal and decent Verizon signal. The EVO 4G LTE finds Verizon 3G EVDO and will voice/data roam just fine. SignalCheck verifies that the provider is Verizon for 1x and EVDO, with signal between -90 to -100 dB. However, the One will not data roam. SignalCheck indicates that the One finds Verizon for voice (1X), but does not connect for data roaming. If I watch SignalCheck long enough, I can see that the One will find the Verizon EVDO for a few seconds every five minutes or so, but it won't "hold" the EVDO signal. On Sprint, the ONE will find both 3G and 4G.
I've played around with various mobile data settings, but nothing seems to help. In fact, the One will pop up the messages that data roaming is in effect, but there is no data connection. Since the EVO 4G LTE will EVDO roam, it seems that the One should EVDO roam as well.
Any ideas or suggestions on what to look at? On Sprint the 3G is usually ePHRD, not EVDO, perhaps there is some issue with EVDO on the ONE? I thinking about getting Roam Control to see if that would make any difference. I haven't taken the 4.06.651.9 update either.
Thanks!
I had a chance to do some further data roaming testing with the One and Evo 4G LTE side by side.
Roam Control seems to work fine on the One, except that the color of the blue button for selecting the roaming mode is hard to distinquish.
Unfortunately, it seems that the One will not lock on to a Verizon EVDO signal. I found several areas with strong EVDO signal. The EVO connected just fine, but the One wouldn't. The One does fine with Sprint's eHRPD signal, and will lock on to the Verizon 1xRTT for voice.
I don't know how to do further debugging. I guess it could be a radio problem, an issue with the 56018 PRL and the One, or some other issue.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Providers dont like roaming, the newer the phone is the less likely it will be to roam, the first two M7 radios would not allow any roaming at all on my phone, the latest 2 do allow roaming but I need to force "roam only" with roam control, I am on the latest radio running GPE rom and use roam control to force roaming whenever verizon has a better signal and it works good. I am using PRL 56015 flashed via CDMA workshop.

Unfortunately, my One will not data roam, even with Roam Control. It sees the EVDO for a few seconds, but won't hold it.
Would there be any tweaks that could be made to the radio from CDMA Workshop that might affect the data roaming behavior?

I loaded PRL 56015 into the One with CDMA Workshop, but the problem remains...when roaming, the One will see the EVDO briefly but not hold it, according to SignalCheck.
I did a comparison between the various settings in the One and the EVO 4G LTE (where roaming works fine) using CDMA WS. The are significant differences, particularly on the CDMA, CDMA-2, and EVDO pages. For example, on the EVDO page, the EVO has a username ([email protected]) for HDR_User_long, but the One doesn't have one. The EVDO revision is also different. I don't know enough to fool with these settings.
Actually, the One is missing values for many settings that the EVO has. I'm beginning to wonder if somehow the One didn't get provisioned properly.
Thanks!

If you change any of them settings in CDMA workshop, save them first, if you screw something up you can reload the saved settings, I screwed with CDMA workshop alot in the past and you can do alot with it. Before screwing with them settings, did you try resetting or updating your data profile?..maybe something got messed up in the tweaking and flashing your doing. I flash all kinds of different stuff on my phone, every once in a while I flash a sense rom and update or reset my data profile just in case...

I am not on a sense rom right now and I forget the codes, try entering ##3282# or *#*#3282#*#* in your dialer, it should bring up a data menu, there should be an option to do a reset, it will basically erase your data profile and reboot, when it reboots it will do an activation and reset everything....or ##786# will completely reset everything, that has saved me once or twice but that also factory rests your phone. these will only work on a sense rom and I reccoment a backup before doing anything, just in case... if that dont work do a google search for epst codes, and find the one that resets your data profile.

I did a profile reset with ##3282#, and the behavior has changed somewhat. The One is now holding the EVDO signal according to SignalCheck. However, if I try to open a web page, a message box pops up indicating that data roaming needs to be enabled. If I tap on "data roaming" in the message box, it takes me to the mobile data settings. I have been over and over those settings, and tried different combinations of things, but I can't seem to come up with the magic setting that will make the phone think that data roaming is enabled. I am forcing roaming with Roam Control.
Is there some "hidden" setting to enable data roaming? There is a "CDMA Roaming" setting that has choices of Home/Automatic, and I have it set to Automatic. I have identical settings to the Evo in the mobile data settings, but I can't make it work on the One.

What rom are you using?, I think the stock roms from Sprint no longer have the "allow data roaming" option, Sprint tries to avoid us using roaming as much as possible, so if you are on stock rom or something close, you probly don't have this option, try flashing a modified rom that may have this option, or if you are familiar with using the exposed framework, I think there is a module you can use to enable the data roaming. I personally use Gruesomewolf's GPE rom and it has the option built in if you want to try it.

I'm on the stock 4.06.651.4 ROM (rooted and S-OFF). This is my wife's phone, and I'd like to keep it stock and simple, as she's not a techie. However, she also travels where data roaming is required, so I might have to try another ROM.
Interestingly, My EVO 4G LTE doesn't have an "allow data roaming" setting under mobile network settings that I can find, but it roams just fine. In fact, the mobile data settings on the EVO and One are almost identical, except that the One has some additional GMS options. I wonder if there is some setting in a file like build.prop that affects data roaming.
I installed a couple of native hotspot hacks on the One. In looking through the zip files for those hacks to see what they actually did (which was quite minimal), some network-related things were changed in /system/customize/ACC/default.xml relative to the file in the original ROM, and a shell script was added that executes several iptables commands. I may try to manually undo those hacks to see if it has any effect. At this point, we need the data roaming more than the hotspot.

Alot of your issues can be solved with a custom rom, you wouldnt need to install the hotspot hacks either, most have native hotspot built in.

Getting a chance to work on this issue again...it seems that the EV-DO problem with my HTC One is not limited to roaming, but also occurs on the Sprint network.
Again, doing side-by-side comparison between the HTC One and my EVO 4G LTE on Sprint network:
1) Set network mode to LTE/CDMA. According to SignalCheck, both phones will find Sprint LTE and display the 4G indicator in the status bar, and both will occasionally drop back to Sprint eHRPD for periods of 5-10 minutes (displaying the 3G icon in the status bar). Network is available to apps in both the LTE and eHRPD cases. No problems here.
2) Now...change network mode to CDMA Only. According to SignalCheck, the EVO will find Sprint EV-DO, the status indicator will change to 3G, and network is available to apps. However, on the One, SignalCheck indicates that EV-DO is found (but doesn't indicate which carrier), there is no 3G (or 4G) icon in the status bar, and apps report that there is no network. The EV-DO signal is strong for both phones.
So, it seems that on the One, LTE and eHRPD are working, but there is some kind of problem with legacy EV-DO, where the phone can find a signal, but can't complete the process of registering on the network, whether Sprint or roaming.
Do eHRPD and EV-DO use the same radio? Trying to rule out a hardware issue. I am thinking of flashing a different radio firmware. Perhaps something got corrupted when I did the OTA update.
Not that Sprint wouldn't do this, but it would seem odd to put something in the stock ROM that would prevent EV-DO, even on Sprint's network. Is there somebody out there on the stock ROM who could confirm that they can get network in CDMA only mode?
Thanks!
So, I finally got this problem solved! I had to do a ##786# "hard reset". After the reset, EV-DO works fine.
The reset process was interesting. I did backups, expecting the phone to be wiped. I entered ##786# and the phone said it was preparing, and then rebooted. But it rebooted into recovery (I have TWRP). Not being exactly sure what to do, I rebooted into the system. The phone booted up, and the provisioning process started and completed. It then fetched the PRL. But nothing was wiped out. Apps, data, and sdcard were all intact. Oh, well, no complaints, and everything seems to be working fine. I used CDMA workshop to put PRL 56018 back, and roaming seems to be working.

I know you got your issue fixed and its been a while but just a heads up in case you run into problems again, I got a replacement phone from sprint and had the exact same issues youe were having, It is a problem with the data profile not being configured correctly, in my case, the new phone did not have my user name correct, worked fine on sprint network for some reason, but I couldnt get 3g in roaming areas, using epst I put my correct user name in and everything worked perfectly...dont know what rom your running now either but NUISENSE is awesome with this phone and it has "roam only" opttion built in, no need for roam control app....
Thanks for the tip!
I'm using the stock ROM. Since my last post, I have been able to test romaing, as we've traveled off the Sprint network, and roaming 3G worked fine. The only issue was that in a one spot we were roaming on a regional carrier, and the phone had locked on a quite distant tower according to SignalCheck, instead of Verizion which had closer towers. This resulted in some loss of 3G just as we were trying to get radar data for a storm we were traveling through (bad timing). But that is most likely a PRL issue. In looking though some PRL analyis an earlier version of 56xxx on another site, Sprint apparently doesn't have roaming agreement in this particular area with Verizon. I wish I new more about PRL editing so I could fix that...

Gsm data is controlled via the apns under mobile networks. Ensure you are in gsm/umts mode and verify the correct apn is selected for your carrier. If there are no apns, hit menu > add apn and supply proper settings, they are either preloaded on the sim or listed on the carrier site. A quick google will also provide the correct info.
Also under data management, ensure data is enabled over mobile network. ##program ONLY changes cdma programming.
I've checked those and.the proper APNs are there. Also in UMTS mode.

There should be absolutely no problem with GSM/UMTS data connection and MMS with unlocked xt862, just enter apn manually and go.
My personal butthurt is EV-DO with non-Verizon CDMA networks as it's really the issue even if you try to hack as the phones with the same Qualcomm chipsets like Droid 2 Global.
I've became real expert in flashing CDMA settings and real guru in tweaking props and rils. But it doesn't help.
I say no Moto and no Android anymore. I'm going to buy WP8 handset as soon as it become available with CDMA. F**k Moto and Google, long live Microsoft which never disappointed me with WM handsets.

I know that the Sprint HTC ONE doesn't have the 1700 Mhz band, only the 1900Mhz. I've read that even if I'm not in an area that is refarmed to the 1900Mhz band, I'll still be getting edge. I live in the Los Angeles area so I'm more than likely to be in an refarmed area.
Connect to wifi and update PRL and profile.
If nothing, try forcing hands-free activation. In the dialer: ##72786#

You probably need to setup T-Mobile's APN to get the data to work. Not sure how to do that on the One though.
BTW, expect GPRS/EDGE data to be quite slow, even if you do get it working.
I haven't had to do anything special with APNs for Tmo data. I get Edge in the non-1900mhz areas and HSPA+ in the 1900mhz areas.
In the Mobile Settings page... I have all roaming guard options unchecked. GSM data checked. Set to GSM/UMTS only. Search for networks.. click on Tmo... and away I go..

I've never touched anything related to APN. just select TMO after the network scan and use. Id assume the APN stuff is auto-populated by htc/sprint settings built in.

I tried resetting the APN to default and reconnecting to the TMO network, however, I still can't get any mobile data. I'm hesitant to seek TMO for help as often times, they'll just reply saying that it's a Sprint model, so not everything will work.
So I got the mobile data to work, however, only when I'm out and in certain areas. At home, it still says "disconnected" however, if I'm out in some areas, I'm able to connect to the 1900MHz band. Is there a reason for this happening? Mind that I was only probably a mile away from my house.
Was there a solution to this ? This is my problem also in los Angeles

This happened to me a few months ago. The phone is definitely capable and you will get LTE signals on the $60/month GoPhone plan.
1. First of all, call GoPhone customer support (611 from the phone) and confirm that they have your HTC One whitelisted for LTE. They're going to double check with you your phone's IMEI number (they can already see it, but will ask you for it anyway), and then confirmed that the phone is allowed to get LTE signals. They're also going to double check your APN setting and provide you with the appropriate entries for AT&T.
2. Reboot and see if you now get LTE signals. If you still don't get it, check whether your mobile network settings is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto instead of GSM/WCDMA Auto or WCDMA Preferred (or maybe something else). If you don't see any LTE option, dial *#*#4636#*#* from your dialer, and in the first drop down box choose 'GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto' or anything with LTE just to make sure you can catch LTE signals at all. If you were able to find and switch to the setting you want, exit out, and go back to that menu, double checking if the setting sticks. If it does, reboot and try again.
3. Most people will get LTE signals after #1 above, while some were only able to get it after #2. However if you are unlucky like me, the LTE setting does not show up in mobile network and no matter what I do in the hidden menu, the setting won't stick (it's stuck on GSM/WCDMA Auto). I actually tried flashing a different radio at this point (a newer AT&T radio), but still... no LTE for me. What solved this finally for me is that I flashed a custom ROM (in my case it was ARHD 12.2). This enabled me to choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto under mobile network settings, and after that I was able to get LTE. It was great! :good:
Hopefully that helps. Good luck!
I have a Sprint HTC One M8. I used to use 'Roam Ctl' to force into roaming when inside a building like Target where the signal may be weak, but stronger if you roamed.
I installed it on the new M8 and it doesn't roam. I'm wondering if this is due to the new Tri-Band Spark frequencies and how this phone doesn't support simultaneous voice & data.
Any ideas? Is this a problem with the way this phone is different, or simply an application bug?

Thanks!
This actually didn't work for me. I can enter the code in the dialer to get in to change the PRL, but there are no menu items showing up that let me select roam only. Oh well, it was worth a try. I'm using VenomOneM8 ROM which is probably why it isn't working on my M8.

It's under settings, mobile data, roaming
Yeah it's not showing up for me there.
Under Settings --> Mobile Data I have:
4G Settings
Network Mode
Automatic Connections
then two greyed out options: Access point names & Available GSM networks
I am pretty sure the flash worked properly because if I dial ##3282# as stated in the original thread by another ViperOne user it says "Bad Boyz EPST", and I'm not running anything Bad Boyz.
So I think it's a conflict between running a Bad Boyz Mod on a ViperOne ROM.

Same issue on stock as well. No roaming options where others would see it. Also my M8 can't roam for some odd reason. Keep in mind I'm 100% stock.
Sent from some box in the Bahamas, or Mexico, or wherever that guy with the eye patch took me.
And you tried this mod too? Otherwise it probably isn't a feature in stock. Thus the need for the mod.

I've had this problem across multiple roms, so I believe it's could be something with the radio or the kernel(mabye?). My phone will only transfer data on LTE, when I am in an area that does not have LTE coverage, my phone does not automatically downstep to 3g. HOWEVER, if i go into cellular settings, and manually set 3g CDMA, it will connect to 3g. All speeds seem normal LTE 15-30mbps 3g 1-3mbps. I have no idea why it doesnt downstep to 3g on it's own. It's like it's stuck on LTE only. ANy idea how to rectify this?

try to update profile and prl, i know it's basic, but it solves most problems very often. if not make sure your firmware is up to date, not just the ROM, as the radio will need to have been updated and TWRP/CWM wont do that.

I've gone ahead and done that. Updated PRL/Profile. I have updated the firmware to the most current 5.0.1 firmware. Same thing. When i lose LTE, it does not step down to 3g. I just lose data. If i go into cellular options and I manually set 3g it will join 3g, but then i have to remember to set it back to LTE later. Any idea why the phone isnt doing this on it's own? Is there an update to the HTC radio that could fix this? Is the radio even responsible for these actions?

if you updated the firmware correctly that includes the radio... call sprint, since lte is handled by the sim card and 3g by the phone internals maybe the internal imei isn't set up correctly
