Hmmm well I only use WiFi or Verizon...um I mean sprint. ;) so because I am basically 100% roaming even though very low usage in 3g I have a good chance of being cancelled? I am WiFi at work And home. Less than 100mb per month on 3g
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Yes. You need 51% of your data to be on Sprint's network, and you need to stay at or under 300 MB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrJandD:
4g works in Foster City, CA

In Foster City, CA using PRL 1, I am receiving 4g connection. Here's the speedtest link: http://www.speedtest.net/android/211972036.png. How is it connecting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsarch21:
I just updated to the 25002 found on page 29 and I'm getting 700+ downloads! I usually get 50-100 and on the Verizon 00001 I was 300-500. I can't believe a sprint prl is actually fast! I'm in south jersey

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrJandD:
Yea Sprint just flipped the 4g LTE in some areas, your lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
I want to get dropped! As long as there is no cancelation charge ;) what is the best way to lock it on a verizon signal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KwestJones:
That was 25005? I get pretty good with 00001 (those are the 1000+ on my speedtest). I am in SJ too so I'll try 25005.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsarch21:
Yes sorry 25005. I'm in ventnor and my sprint speeds are usually terrible, I was happy with 00001 as well , but got spooked by thought of cancellation since I was only using roaming. I'm thrilled to be 700+ and on sprint

Edit, I can't believe I actually broke 1mb !

I'm a huge 25005 fan!

If I am on the Verizon PRL can I pick up Verizon LTE? Or no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfbeef123:
dumb question.

I'm not familiar with PRL's.

sorry for the noob question,

but does doing this cause extra charges liek for roaming?

---------- Post added at 02:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 AM ----------

nope, this is only for the CDMA radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
How do you know that but not the roaming stuff :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfbeef123:
cause i read it at the beginning of the thread looking for my answer..

just passing on the knowledge :)

of course... no one has answered my question lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Sprint doesn't charge you for roaming. Just keep 51% of your data on sprint network and try to stay under 300mb while roaming.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfbeef123:
not calling you not relliable, but are you sure?

I'm on the unlimited family plan with 3 lines, i just don't want to be stuck with an outrageous bill you know?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Also, is there a way to write the Verizon PRL for LTE to use their LTE service as well?

---------- Post added at 05:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 AM ----------

Pretty sure. I've searched all around, multiple sites. The sprint technician at my local sprint store didn't tell me about the 300 mb soft limit, but he told me keep 51% of my data on Sprint's network, and I won't be flagged
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wolfbeef123:
Just looked it up,

sorry, i was confusing it with Internation data and voice roaming.

this is awesome then! he where i'm at, sprint 3g is dreadful!

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
How are you guys forcing roaming? I cant find an option and from what ive read roam control doesnt work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
Also consider that multi line family plans you can get away with more. For example, I have 5 lines and 4 of them almost never roam, but my line sometimes roams in excess of 3 GB a month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brizzle1986:
I have 3 lines and was told I'm allowed 5GB before they will do anything about roaming...and they will just terminate just the line that exceeds the limit not the contact
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ParaCAD:
If anyone hasn't done it yet you can get cm10 here for Toroplus http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm10&device=toroplus

Other jb roms I've ran (droidvicious and Teameos) did not have info on the prl or the feature to update prl manually. The cm rom above does. I was on 25004 and updated to 25005. If you have this rom flashed you'll then see prl write in anycut.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
How about you all just switch to verizon since your service obviously sucks. Kudos to the op for figuring this out but I pay more for better service while you steal it seems wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdubs4200:
Is this out of envy?

Oh yeah, and I use my neighbors cable I don't steal it... if it were stolen, the "owner" wouldnt be able to use it or have it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lento10:
It's not stealing, its "ROAMING"... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ParaCAD:
I did use prl 00001 yesterday. Tried it out, Definitely help a bit but returned to 25005.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ducehlmg:
Is this guy serious??? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
RUJellin M1 + FG01 radio + 00002 prl = great performance here in phx az
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
So you would rather pay a bit less for way crappier service. Just get metro pcs if that's the case. Again I get what I PAY for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
Yes,yes I would. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
And its not a "bit less" it's 40-60 dollars less.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ducehlmg:
so u like to pay to get butt raped? hmm.. interesting
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
Your assuming I can't afford it. It's not being butt raped when you can afford better service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ducehlmg:
so if someone steals $100 from Bill Gates, is he not getting robbed because he can afford to lose $100?

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

also no one here is assuming u cant afford anything.. u came here talkin all high and mighty ASSUMING we cant afford to pay for verizon when in reality we just choose not to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
Its all in personal justification with this one really. So there is no point in arguing. I will agree to disagree :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smoothone:
Hopefully someone can answer this question. I flashed the new plain AOSP build by jlallard. Everything was gravy. I then flashed the ghost vr theme by Vico. When I rebooted I noticed my phone says Verizon wireless? I checked my status in settings and I am on prl 25004 and it says on on the Verizon network? I start browsing the web and my speeds are awesome. Is the 25004 a Sprint lte prl? My notification bar says 3g. Maybe I'm on 4g lte but my ROM build just shows 3g? Just FYI I didn't do any of these mods to go to a Verizon prl. My internet is flying. I have a feeling I'm on 4g lte.Thanks for any insight in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
25004 shouldn't be a Verizon only prl. From the op it is a sprint corporate prl. What speed are you getting? You are not on 4g lte though, at least not Verizons. I can't speak for sprints launch in your area
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smoothone:
Thanks for the info. I will do a speed test and get back. My notification panel says Verizon Wireless and my my settings say I'm on Verizon. Strange thing is that my phone was on Sprint before I flashed the theme and I haven't made any modifications. This is the first time I have experienced this. I'm going to see exactly what the theme installs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JimSmith94:
It could just be the text added to that theme, and you are really on Sprint. When I installed a modified Launcher2.apk that allowed for more icons, the drop down menu showed something like "roaming notification is off" instead of "Sprint".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smoothone:
I know what you mean because I know how to change that text myself but when I go to my ROM settings, phone, status it says I am on Verizon network under network and under Mobile Network type it says CDMA - EvDo rev. A:6
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JimSmith94:
Hmm, my Mobile network type says CDMA - eHRPD:14. I wonder if that difference means that you are using a Verizon radio?

My Network Status also says the same as my drop down, "Roaming Indicator Off". Have you tried changing the text?

Could you please let me know how you change the text? I can live with it as is, but that's the only thing I don't care for with the 5x5 launcher I'm using.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smoothone:
Look at my single post that I am linking and this will remove the roaming indicator and put it back to Sprint. I am on the newer FG01 radio.

Will this work on the EVO LTE? Tempted to try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicholaaaas:
I'm pretty sure it works on any phone. I just did it on my SG3. Doesn't work on aosp roms though. Also my any cut shortcut wasn't write PRL. It was something different so you might have to look around a bit for it

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parkasat:
sorry for the total noobishness here...

Anyways, so I finally got this all to work. But I just now got an OTA JB update available on my phone. I won't be able to do this if I go to JB, I am assuming? And hell, since my phone is rooted, can I even OTA to JB to begin with, or...?

sorry this is all just confusing me right now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicholaaaas:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v3rk:
i couldn't find anycut in the play store so i downloaded an apk from google. the app opens up fine but once i try to make the write prl shortcut it force closes. the app is version 1.0. any insight?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v3rk:
sorry to double post, but when i connect to lte with these corporate prls, am i using sprint? will these prls indicate roaming while i'm using a non-sprint tower? i never get 3g at work and i have it, it just doesn't say roaming. thanks in advance for clarifying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicholaaaas:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doubledragon5:
Im using these prl on my Evo design sprint version, and it is amazing how much of a difference I have.. Prl 1119 gave me 93kbs down 23 up. PRL 52664 gave me 504 down and 370 up. Now do these prl help with voice as well? Or are they for data only..

Can I roam on a Verizon PRL and still connect to Sprint LTE (whenever it gets activated here in Austin, TX) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sccubasteve:
Tried this many times. Test capitalized, and lower case. Also tried about 3 different prls from the list. It shows the new prl in settings, but still only working on sprint network. Verified by notroamcontrol. And by speed test. Extracted zip and placed test* on root of internal sd card. Any suggestions? Rooted, stock sprint gnex.

Edit: story of xda's life.... Read more posts, found where to download prl 52644. Renamed, any cut it, and working like a charm. Dl speeds up from 400kbs to almost full mb. Good stuff guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sccubasteve:
Good thing someone posted a link to any cut after I spent forever trying to d.l it. And boo to Google for removing roam control. No good d.l links for that, seems they either all close after hitting roam only, or close because it tries to check license.. Not that I tried to get a free version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
Google it. And roam control won't work with our phones for some Reason
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigrushdog:
I tore RoamControl apart to see why. Getting through the obfuscation I saw. I don't think force roam, or most telephony related mods will be accessible through user apps anymore. Even with root. I could be wrong on that. Anyway, in a nutshell nothing outside of the Phone process or Phone looper thread can make the necessary calls anymore in jb. Good news is I think I can do it either modding the phone apk or adding it to my Sprint Diagnostics app on Eos.

Edit: and yes I bought RoamControl and discovered to my dismay it did not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
So does this prl method make it possible for sprint galaxy nexus to roam on Verizon like roam control used to give for the nexus s with force roam? Basically just write the prl when roaming is needed, then write original prl when you need to go back to sprint? And both voice and data work while roaming? Just a reboot is the big difference. Is there anyone here where this DOESN'T work for? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sccubasteve:
Yeah that's it, in a nutshell. When I want to switch to Verizon prl, I just click on the any cut shortcut, when I want to switch back, i just go into settings and update sprint prl. And it only reboots after any cut, sprint update doesn't reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] long2know:
How can I get the PRL Write shortcut created without Any cut? Any cut just force closes on me every time..

EDIT: Never mind.. got it working with Nova.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beck59:
I use anycut to write verizon PRL. Works just fine. I update my phones PRL to get back to sprint. That works fine as well. Heres the rub.... When I use anycut again to go back to verizon PRL after doing the sprint update I find that the TEST.prl file in my phone has been overwritten with a sprint PRL. (Using anycut just gives me a stock sprint prl). SO I thought to overcome this I made a folder with a copy of the verizon PRL on my EXSD card. Then I just overwrite the TEST.PRL if I need to.

But I find that when using the phones upadte feature to go back to sprint ALL my copies the Verzion PRL gets changed. No matter where I put them.

I wish i could understand how anycut works. I would like get anycut to write two different prl. different commands for each of the prl's I want to write. So I did not have to do the sprint update thing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neuroval:
Did you try renaming the copy in addition to placing it in a different folder, like test.prl.bak?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beastmods:
OK I have a question...if i stay this prl and sprint cancels my contract.

will i be able to keep my device?

only had the account for 2 weeks and they gave me a gs3 for $1 ($1 bob)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yuhfhrh:
I would say yes, but if they cancel you within the first month they may ask for the phone back. If they cancel you after the first billing cycle has past, you're golden.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
this is probably a dumb question but that never stopped me before - I get decent Sprint Coverage here - but Sprint does not have lte yet - while Verizon does in this area - if I change this PRL - will I get LTE coverage or is that not managed by the PRL?

Like I said - this is probably a dumb question.......?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
The PRL is for CDMA service only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodi524:

"There is no TEST PRL on sdcard"

I named the file Test.prl and put it in /sdcard.

Any ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddoggin:
Did u take the pro out of the zip? What's the best prl that is working good? I switched to 11119 but don't notice too much difference!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] autoprime:
my original PRL issue was using my modified 00002 prl which is a verizon prl with the roaming indicator's set to show no roaming. those prl's refused to work on my device... it would just put me in 1x Sprint mode.

what you want to use is an untouched vzw prl.. i choose 52644.prl. this prl will put u on verizon towers only. you wont have to use roam control.. it will just default to verizon towers.. 3G will work! when you wanna use sprint again.. just write a sprint prl.

Honestly, it depends on your area. Some Sprint corporate PRLs work well, some won't.

If you're using the verizon prl , you won't be picking up sprint towers, as you're running as if you had a Verizon phone. So yes.
