Same with me, but I actually got better service with the sprint prl than 00001
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
it does nothing. ive been clicking on everything and theres nothing happening at all

this is what i meant

doesnt matter, i remember having the hybrid on my blackberry and having horrible service. ill pass on this.

although i do have a question. in the video this guys phone appears to be in PDA mode in both sections, mine is in the bottom but is on modem on the top, any significance to this?
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
just flashed 11114... gonna see how this one works... i don't like the idea of being strictly on Verizon with the 00001 PRL... my normal Sprint coverage is good... it's just certain spots around town where it drops and i need a bit of speed to keep streaming Pandora :D
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
For the most part yes for me too, but than again i havent been out the house to test 00001 case i dont want to use verizon all day lol eats up ya mins and ya roaming data, id have to keep my netbook with me.....damn an app needs to be made now!!!!
[Nexus S General] :
I'm in the same boat. I flashed 11115 and didn't notice any effect today when I was up in the mountains where my friend has full bars on Verizon . I think it only works if you use roam control app which I can't use due to inability to purchase from the market.
[Nexus S General] Drizzzle01:
Does anyone have a link to 11117? I just back from a Sprint store and all their phones were on it.
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
lol yeah the hybrid prls oy work with roam control but I haven't gotten them to connect to evdo only 1x. 00001 is evdo. Best bet too.

Mmmm I wonder about that 11117

Also everybody, I know that roaming counts against your minutes and data counts against your data roaming but what about text messages? How do they deduct those? Or are they still unlimited?

[Nexus S General] rocket999:
You have to hit the ports tab at the top. That's how you get to adda devide. And on my phone the top section is set to PDA and the bottom one is set to modem. If this is done correctly then the USB debugging and the mount USB storage symbol will dissappear from the status bar
[Nexus S General] GrapeBandit:
is there a hack for the at&t nexus s? if so, anyone care to share the link? thanks guys
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
Anyone with Java experience??

So HTC has an app built into their phones that allows you to change the PRL RIGHT ON THE PHONE. I have an HTC EVO, so I know how it works.

Now I would like to try to port this app to the Nexus s 4g on an ICS ROM. I don't know how to program in java, I'm just starting out. I can run APK scripts and all on my computer (for modifying), but I'm not very experienced at it.

So I have an app I have to work on, I need to get it to work with AOSP dialer. PM me if you want to work on this!
[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:
i noticed with this hack if i dont dial the area code when making a call i get a message saying "welcome to Verizon Wireless etc etc" is this normal?..i thought this only connected me to Verizons data network
[Nexus S General] zackandethan:
hey rocket , does roam control work with the 01 prl ? Just tryin to find out for someone in Gomez thread .
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
It does that if you don't put an area code in. Simple fix: put the area code in. I don't have any other solution.

No it doesn't. With that PRL it is already roaming automatically, and it won't connect to Sprint towers. If you want to switch between the two then use a hybrid PRL
[Nexus S General] zackandethan:
Thank you sir!

[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
is there any PRL that allows it to automatically switch from Sprint to Verizon and vice versa when the signals are bad?? i LOVED the 00001 PRL for service but i don't like the idea that i'll be using my minutes and roaming the entire time... currently have the 11114 PRL and it's still essentially Sprint and my understanding is that unless i use "Roam Control" it won't jump to Verizon?! if this works for sure, i won't mind paying for the app but if it doesn't what's the point??
[Nexus S General] jblazea50:
It works. Here's couple of screen shots with Sprint 3G and using Roam Control.

[Nexus S General] Revilo62:
When I type the *#*#8778#*#* and change the USB to modem and press back it doesn't save the setting. And when I do that the option for going to USB storage never goes away. Anyone know why I can't switch to modem? Any other ways for me to do this? I'm running CM9 rom with trinity kernel. Any help is appreciated.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
i never pressed back after changing to "modem" just went forward with the QSPT program!! try that
[Nexus S General] frankie51:
Nope only 1x
[Nexus S General] Revilo62:
Does your connect to USB storage thing go away?

Under device manager when I just leave it without pressing back it says my phone is a portable device, it's not under port. Maybe a driver problem? I did the link of installing drivers on the OP by just running the exe file and that didn't seem to do much. It's installed but didn't change how my phone acts under device manager.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
dunno man... i had drivers installed already and just connected and followed the video exactly... worked fine for me on oICS ROM... might want to try another ROM and just flash back to the one you're using as it won't flash over the PRL!!
[Nexus S General] Revilo62:
Maybe I'll try that. Do you happen to know if flashing a new rom would mess up my home screen icons? I'm OCD about where all my icons are and what folders they're in and don't really want to have to re do it.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
here are my before and after speeds. my only question is does the 00001 prl show that your roaming? i read last night that it doesnt, just want to double check

before

after(using prl 00001)
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
simple... go into recovery, make a backup of your current setup... then flash a new ROM... setup the PRL thingy by following the video... then go back to recovery after that new PRL is setup and just restore your backup... you should have your exact same setup with the new PRL installed :)
[Nexus S General] Revilo62:
Totally didn't think of that! Thanks! New to rooting still, can't wait to get this to work. What ROM should I try?
[Nexus S General] lamename:
why did this get moved? just curious
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
tons of great ROMs out there... i set mine up with oICSv43
[Nexus S General] Revilo62:
I'll try it out tomorrow. Little late to do it now.
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
Use Codename android 1.4. Works fine for me
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
on the 00001 prl my signal fluctuates a lot. But overall service is better. When I had my ns4g first time I spent weeks trying to put this prl on and failed. Op did a great job explaining how. Drivers were hardest part as he stated.
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
Glad I could help! :)
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
Hey everybody, I'm using miui for a couple days and it doesn't seem to have the sprint menu. Anyway to get it on this Rom? I know you can't switch prls without it.
[Nexus S General] lamename:
So installing PDA net installed Sammy drivers on my win7 64 no problem. I must have tried a million other ways.. also to possibly help maybe since I didn't realize ( even though op explains very clearly) phone will not show up in device manager until you switch from PDA to modem.

No signal gain here on 00001. Grants Pass, OR

Tried 11114. It stuck, though roam control will not force roam for me. Just sticks to sprint.

500+ KB on sprint. 260kb on 00001

Off to try more hybrids..
[Nexus S General] ejohn3288:
As it was said earlier in this forum, you can flash a different rom that has the sprint menu. Switch the prl, and then restore your miui rom over it because the Rom shouldn't change the Prl.
[Nexus S General] dscatto:
Nice!
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
Oh yeah I forgot about that
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
So i was thinking... Is there any prl that removes 1X from connecting at all?? Just wondering if i can't connect to Sprint 3G and 1X isn't there to connect to then this is sorta a force roam and it will jump to Verizon!!

My drive around town has patches of 1X but it sucks because it's so slow lol
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
Yeah man the hybrids suck ass. Lol the crazy thing I'm noticing how better sprint is in a lot of places. Maybe its because we don't have true Verizon phones that its being a pain.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
Lol... Nah they all work for me just fine... I just don't like 1x and would prefer to be either in Sprint or Verizon 3G's... Both carriers are decent & similar in my area!
[Nexus S General] MrGreg:
Can you check the log file in the app? Depending on what version you're running, it's either in the "options" tab or "about" tab. That might explain why it's not forcing your phone to roam.
[Nexus S General] Revilo62:
So I finally got it working when I changed roms. I forgot to make a backup though.... super mad at myself, so I lost my OCD organization of all my files. Damn. What ever, I've been wanting to start my phone over from scratch anyways I guess.
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
No I'm saying the hybrids would rock If they actually had 3g.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
oh... the 11114 PRL has Sprint and Verizon 3G... works normal up til it has to Roam, then it says "roaming" but it's actually on Verizon 3G at that point...
[Nexus S General] frankie51:
Use the app no roam control and see if its actually 3g or just 1x
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
it said "R" and had 2 bars where i typically get "0" bars with Sprint (at work)... and i ran a speed test and got almost 1mb down/up... that for sure isn't 1X or regular Roam for me...
[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
Man I can't get 00014 3g .im going to try again.
[Nexus S General] frankie51:
I can't either! Let us know if it works
[Nexus S General] ejohn3288:
Hmmm...

I installed the hybrid prl and it seems to be working but the verizon 3g isnt going faster than the sprint 3g. idk if it is the location i am in, or if sprints is just faster over all.
[Nexus S General] zackandethan:
ok so now when I go into qpst , all my com ports are crossed off . It wont let me add a new port and my pc wont bring up ports in the device manager . My pc does see my phone but qpst wont let me do anything now . I deleted the program and reinstalled it plus the drivers . Any suggestions ?
[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:
i went back to the stock PRL i cant lose my unlimited mobile to mobile..i use my phone to much...so since i went back to stock i still dont have my unlimited mobile to mobile back!!...im not sure what to do..i updated my PRL..i wrote PRL using QPST!!...anyone go any ideas!?!?!
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
Just go to a stock ROM and click on "update PRL" under settings. It'll make things the way they were before.
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
When you select "modem" on the phone, does the android debugging and the USB storage symbol go away from your status bar?
[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:
i did that..under phone settings it tells me my PRL is 60683 which is the most current sprint PRL..but for some reason all my calls are coming off my anytime minutes...im not roaming, so i dont know what to do
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
If you have the normal Sprint PRL, then it isn't your phone. Are you sure your calls are on the weekends or nights? Calls during the day count towards your anytime minutes
[Nexus S General] zackandethan:
man rocket I haven't seen that in a while . I can still see my phone in the PC but no symbols on my notification bar . Was working fine and then went to qpst and the com ports had a circle with a line through it and my com was gone . When I try to add my com it say error or busy . I'm stumped .

Edit: in dev options my USB debug was not checked , so I just checked it and will try again tonight when I get home from work .
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
i just restored an old backup i had and i can CONFIRM that the PRL stays even after a restore!! i was wondering just flashing a new ROM would allow for it to stay... but it looks like unless you mess with that particular part of your phone, you will keep the PRL!!

btw, not sure if it makes a difference but how many people are running the D720SPRKL2 radio vs the older ones??
[Nexus S General] neo_x22000:
i got it taken care of...i flashed back to stock, updated PRL then rerooted and came back to Apex 1.2..idk what the problem was...but its all good now

[Nexus S General] Revilo62:
How do I tell if I'm actually on Verizon? I'm not noticing much of a difference...

Never mind, found not roam control, should have guessed haha. But now it says roaming status = false in not roam control. Does that mean I'm not actually roaming? Don't get it.

Here are my speed test results. Thanks for the help with all of this prl stuff guys!

[Nexus S General] treyweez11:
OK I had o share this with you guys immediately!! I was tweaking with the settings and I got 3g 11115 prl to work. Go to the phone dialer and type in ×#×# 4636#×#× go to phone info and scroll all the way down until you see a pull down menu that says set preferred network type. Click evdo only and press home. Go to ROAM control and switch to roam only. Exit the app. Wait until you get a roaming signal and then go back into roamctrl and view network status in the option tab. There you see evdo. Or you can go back to the dialer and type in ×#×#4636#×#× again and it displays the same info. U hope this works for you guys.

don't think this was mentioned... but i just confirmed that NO TYPE OF FLASHING but directly changing the PRL will change it lol... i completely restored my phone back to stock unrooted/locked GB state... after that, i installed ICS again and i looked at my PRL and it's still 11114... have a nice day :)
[Nexus S General] MrGreg:
If you loaded 00001, your phone thinks Verizon is the home network. So your phone thinks it's not roaming, but it will certainly show up as roaming usage on your account/bill.
[Nexus S General] Revilo62:
Does anyone know how roaming and being kicked off sprint works with a family plan? So you guys said we can us 300mb of roaming before sprint can kick us off, would that be combined for families? I have 3 people on my family plan, if I go over 300 and they want to kick me off would they kick us all off or just my phone? How does that work? Because there is 3 of us would they maybe give the account a combined 300 each so 900mb?

Also do they give a warning before kicking off? If I stick to PRL 00001 until I get the warning and then go back to normal would I be ok?
[Nexus S General] isaacfank:
when i first switched to hybrid i wasnt getting 3g speeds. i let it set, and checked roamctl later and it was giving me 3g speeds again. Maybe its just hit and miss? i need the hybrid because i dont have good verizon coverage at my house, but i have good sprint.lol
[Nexus S General] rocket999:
This should stop it from going to 1x.... Meaning that the people here have been wanting the PRL to switch over to Verizon 3g when there isn't Sprint 3g can do it with just the hybrid PRL and no roam control. Thanks man!

Just a note though, don't back out of it. once you set the network type just hit the home button for the setting to stick.

They send a letter. and it's 300 mb per phone. I'm on a family plan too, and I'm using the 00001 PRL until I get the letter. Then I'll switch to a hybrid...

I saw my PRL changed, I'm not sure if it did it automatically or what. Is there a way to disable it from updates?

BTW, with roam control I'm able to get 3G with PRL 11114. But, in my house I'm getting better speeds with Sprint.
[Nexus S General] kyouko:
You'll need qpst, a text editor (notepad++)

Use "RL Editor" in the startmenu QPST folder to load and edit PRLs.

To understand what all the numbers/frequencies and everything mean, you'll have to do a LOT of reading.

http://www.ifast.org/files/IFAST24_011_How_to_build_a_PRL.pdf

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_Roaming_List

http://www.roamingzone.com/sid/

For tower lists, you have to google around for the FCC list.

Then you'll have to use an app such as "not roam control" or "CDMA Field Test"..or the program

dfs tools

...I believe you can also get the same information by "reading" the phone information while using QPST.

But you use those to find the NID(Network), SID(System), BSID(Base) numbers of the towers near by. Then change the priorities on them in the list, etc,etc,etc. It's involved work, not something you can just do quickly here and there at first.

Another good link to check out is: PRL Change logs

Here's basically what you will be looking at - I loaded up 11114.prl into the RL Editor:

Two sections. Acquisition Records and System Records.

Bottom half is where you edit the towers, Top is for channels (obviously)

On the bottom half, an NID of 65535 is basically equivalent to a "*" or a 'wildcard'

lol so NOW if anyone still wants to get into editing PRLs like I did before. This should be enough to get you started. Good luck :D
