your gonna find out what we pretty much know

its been what i been saying all this time

there is no 16 digit password for mk2 on the hlteusc

i wasnt gonna say anything anymore but you asked me to get the file for you and i am more then happy to help but unless you know what your doing in there you will probably have to wait like the rest of us :)

the part i cant believe is mk2 been out forever and no one has been compaining
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
LOL, I know what I am doing, don't worry with that part. Just as I said though when I get the time, I am very busy but I will look at it and atleast verify to you that if it is different............ I want have to wait if I need it as I will have it, just a matter if I should release it or not, at times some of these things if its true are asked not to be released to soon due to other things they may effect.

Will this work with Moto G for boost mobile? im trying to flash it from Boost to Page Plus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
im not sure if you release yours but people like Viper32 sure are releasing theirs and there are alot of people just like me that spend alot of hours on these boards reading and absorbing the info many people leave here but you know the regs because they do lots of guides.

i been doing lots of reading because i have had trouble following this guide.

for some reason it dont work for me on this uscc note 3 and i did a uscc gs3 other day but i think i know how to fix that one as its mobile data was working at one time...i think the MB just ran out is all

but anyhow let me explain

since i ran into these problems i have been really reading alot (tons of research and i on the fast track)

i think i have learned quite a bit from peeps like Viper32 and Alpineman <<<watch for his name in guides. got alot of good ones

anyhow big shout out to all the people that put these guides up for us all to play with and learn alot if you want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yeah, people don't quiet understand what would happen if we released everything ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
our brains would explode?

:)

alot of people here dont know how important that 16 digit pw.

like i said even on us cellular site they say "16 digit password"...."whats a 16 digit password"

lol

i hope they are joking and just given up hope but even here on xda i dont see any uscc people with note 3 on mk2 complaining

mk2 has been out forever. nae was just released wasnt it?

anyhow this phone is pretty much dead as far as alot of people gathered in one spot like a liked phone gets

lol but still threads just like this one do keep it alive

Viper, boost/moto G root is required for to flash or for something else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] untruestory:
Thought I would share my most recent experience:

I tried my phone on straight talk because their sign in Walmart said they were accepting LTE devices and it's true except it's GSM only. With the Verizon S3 I only got 2G so that was a fail.

Flashing my phone back with the new 4.3 update I might have messed up because even with the Verizon SIM previously activated with another phone it still froze my phone for 5 min trying to activate over and over even though everything was working. I had to freeze the apk "Setup Wizard" to get that to stop.

So even though voice/data/text is all working it bothers me that under status I see this:

Is that okay?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
your prob gonna sim lock your card

its what happens when you take another sim card from another active phone and put it in a different phone (to my understanding)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
u can't sim unlock the Verizon s3 its never gonna happen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evolishesh:
Viper, what's the best prl to run on pp?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Maybe I'm missing something but the Verizon S3 is factory unlocked as far as just being able to insert a sim from another network. It doesn't support the bands for anything higher than Edge in the US though unless you're in a refarmed Tmobile area iirc. The GS4 and other newer phones get 3G out of the box though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
That's the behavior I saw with a vzw s3, and now with vzw s4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
the vzw s3 is sim unlock but for the us carriers to get 3g or 4g it will not happen ...u would have to be in a different countries...now the s4 from Verizon has the bands unlocked for us carriers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
that's right. you can't unlock something that is already unlocked...SMDH

This is correct.

LOL....Mrhunter13 is again slightly confused, maybe it's just a language thing, he's trying to argue with PJnc284 but really he is saying the same thing. LOL

All Verizon 4G devices that utilize the 700Mhz frequency for LTE are mandated by the FCC to be factory sim unlocked.

Sim Unlocked is not the same thing as Band unlocked

. No one is saying the phone has unlocked bands.

In fact, unlocking the bands would be an FCC violation - the device can only ship with bands working that are FCC approved for that specific device - hence the reason why the Nexus 4 never officially had LTE.

I hope this clears up some confusion, and if I'm wrong please cite your sources.

us cellular note 2 4.1.2

hey viper I have a note 2 us cellular that im trying to get over to page plus- all the settings write and everything is correct in DFS but 3g will not show up without a sim card in- once I put a sim card in 3g pops right up- is there a rom or software version I can use that will not require a sim card?i thanks ahead of time for any info u may have- calls and text work fine without the sim though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You guys are all over the place today.....

65002 prl works fine......

The only thing that really matters on the Verizon S3 is that you will only get edge data.....

But if that works for you then you can use our in the US with any gsm carrier no problems....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
if u butt heads want to look it up the vzw s3 will never get 3g or 4g on t mobile or att sim ...the bands are locked u will get on 1x...i had the damn phone theres a bounty on the phone to unlock the bands for the us carriers that enough said about the s3 getting 3g on the phone with the sim cards

its called a typo
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
We're getting off-topic but no one said you'd get 3G and 4G with the Verizon S3 on either Tmobile or AT&T. The confusion comes on what we each seem to consider as "sim unlocked". Also the S3 may indeed get above edge speeds in the limited areas where Tmobile has already refarmed their 1900MHz network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crinoid:
where can I get used vzw 4g lte sims?

Looks as if I need a used verizon 4g lte sim for my GS3 to get data working (it's on android 4.3). It might even fix the message waiting indicator issue (dug through the android 4.3 code and I see there are some attempts to store MWI status, possibly in the SIM, but I won't know for sure until I try it out).

My phone came without a SIM. I looked on ebay for used vzw 4G sims but didn't see any. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] untruestory:
Use a GSM sim without it activated. Like I said in my post my activated LTE SIM made my phone try activating over and over until I froze setup wizard. Before I activated on ST the phone worked fine on PPC with the ST AT&T SIM before it was activated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crinoid:
sim

I was under the impression (based on earlier posts WAY upthread) that putting a brand new (unactivated) card would cause the phone to always pester me for activation if it was on PP, but maybe I misunderstood.

I think you are saying I could go to the local Verizon store, buy a new unactivated 4G LTE sim, plug it into the GS3 (which is already flashed to PP) and it wouldn't pester me to activate. (This is my first phone flash so just trying to make sure I understand right).

The easiest thing for you to do is use a used sim card... Can it be done without one? Sure it can but requires allot of edits.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjamatik:
thanks viper much appreciated now I can give up on trying rom after rom thinking that would help.. my last question would be if it has to be a us cellular sim card if not witch ones would work? also does it matter if the sims are new or used because I see some new us cellular ones on ebay I can get for like 15$ but of course the att ones are a lot cheaper.. thx again so much!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You can actually use a used Verizon 4G sim also.... Whatever you can get at the best deal....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjamatik:
ok kool- so used Verizon 4g sim or a us cellular sim new or used both work- I just find it very weird since on the us cellular s4 its sooo easy to resolve that just by switching to a custom rom - but none of the us cellular roms work like that for me.. but all I have to do is put the right custom rom on the us cellular s4 and bam 3g and no sim issues(except notification of no sim) - is there a certain reason why that is the case with the note 2 and not the s4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crinoid:
sim

Picked up a brand new T-Mo sim at CVS and installed it in the Vzw GS3 running android 4.3 previously flashed to PP. Voicemail MWI works properly now. The phone now has an "ongoing" notification that it has a "Non-Verizon SIM" and puts a sim symbol with a question mark in the status bar. Not a big deal to me.

System>About Phone>Status>My Phone Number is now "Unknown" so maybe I have to flash again, but voice calling to and from the phone and SMS still work OK. Haven't tried to enable data yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] untruestory:
To fix the non Verizon message (if you're rooted) freeze the apk giving you the message (Setup Wizard) or just add .backup to the end of the apk name in /system/app/. Oh and the number thing I was worried about too as I posted before but I guess it's normal
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You need to let these guys no they have to be rooted to do this.............. Not everyone is rooted actually most of the ones that are flashed are not.........

I've been doing a lot of research to try to get a better signal at my new job. I've tried using many different PRLs, but I can't get 3g roaming even when others say they can. I keep getting a message saying that my phone can't establish a data connection. I tried it different areas just to make sure I wasn't in a bad service area.

I have the Sprint Note 3 (I know this is the S3 forum, but thought I'd run it by you guys)

Rooted, Custom ROM

I tried several PRLs - 00001, 00002, 00003, 11115, 11119, 52644, 52699. I also tried some custom/modded PRLs.

I'm in Pittsburgh, PA.

Sprint or Verizon S3?

I apologize for this being a little off topic, but I wanted to get a little input from those who are more experienced than I at flashing phones. I'm looking to buy an additional Samsung Galaxy S3 for my wife and I want to know if there is much difference between the verizon version and sprint version. Verizon version is about $60 more on ebay and if it's worth it, I'm willing to spend the extra money. Opinions?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
The Verizon S3 offers you a bit more flexibility as the sim can be replaced which is handy if you're going to be doing international travel or want to use it on one of the US GSM networks. It'll also have support for Verizon's LTE frequency if they ever decide to offer it to the prepaid MVNO's.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ImEVO:
Sorry wasn't clear, if it's possible to roam on Verizon 3g but still catch Sprint LTE network..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
I am pretty sure you can roam on Verizon with the right PRL if you are a Sprint customer.... All the PRL's listed though are 3g only.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
yeah, a lot of people do that. Just remember Sprint has limits on the amount you can roam after which they can give you the boot if they want. Believe it's 800min or 300MB of data or the majority of your minutes/data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yes I understand that you can use Verizon towers on Sprint with the right PRL........ 65002 will work fine for that.

I was doing that way back in the day, years ago when I was crazy enough to be with Sprint.

65002 both the same in OP, from Sprint and Verizon section??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agapedisciple:
Quick question.. when I had my Sprint GS3 on PP I was able to talk while maintaining my 3G connection. Strange since I thought CDMA used the same bandwidth for voice or data. Anyway, i confirmed that I was able to be on a voice call and actively download files using 3G. ... Now with my Sprint GS4, data drops out as soon as I make a voice call. Anyone know why the GS3 was able keep a data connection, but not the GS4? :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ImEVO:
What I've noticed is 3g drops but LTE doesn't..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agapedisciple:
Do u mean on the GS4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ImEVO:
I'm on the note 3, but I'm sure it's all the same..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
Htc evo 4g lte was able to keep a 3g and voice connection. Vzw s3 and s4 could not. All 3 on page plus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Yeah they usually drop data connection when on a call.....

But in theory the S3 it can stay on but not on the s4.......

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agapedisciple:
Why do you say in theory?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
It's the way the phones were designed. The phone had a Qualcomm processor which handled voice while a separate Qualcomm modem could allow EVDO/LTE data at the same time. Believe the Thunderbolt on Verizon was the first phone capable of simultaneous voice and data over 3G on a cdma network. Verizon never really marketed as such since they claimed it didn't live up to their "high" standards but it worked quite well for me on the Thunderbolt and S3 after that. The S3 was one of the last phones that had that same configuration.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Good answer..............

Now I don't have to type it all up ;)

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
The feature was removed because it's not needed. When the device is used for its intended purpose, your data is provided via 4g/lte using a separate radio. You get voice and data at the same time. 3G is a legacy technology. These marginal costs add up to alot :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agapedisciple:
Great info. Really appreciate the explanation. That makes a lot of sense now. I can see how that would have been phased out with LTE technology but unfortunately we could use it since we're still using CDMA on PagePlus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
just saying on my s3 from Verizon I could talk an 3g at the same time the phone was flashed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well I disagree, I think it is a very needed feature.... To bad the big boys do not agree....

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Not so sure that it was that they didn't agree but that they knew it wouldn't work on future devices using single chips/antennas and that it would make iphone users mad. If I'm not mistaken, the 5S doesn't even do voice and lte data. The only alternative would be to upgrade to EVDO Rev B but doubt Sprint and Verizon want to spend money on something that will be out the door in a few years.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Who cares about IPhone users getting mad, lol.... Still a mistake to me...............

Probably not check the s4 forums. Since 4.3 you cannot downgrade the boot loader. So be careful you don't want to brick your phone.

Freeze or delete the activation app. Do some searching on the net for the best procedure. Report back your results. Really if a Verizon phone is flashed correctly you shouldn't see this. This is usually a problem with Sprint phones. Search this thread also. I think I saw that here.

what is the correct way to get rid of the roaming traingle after a prl only update has been downloaded only from pageplus/verizon with *22891?

(without changing to a custom prl)

i heard someone talking about changing the eri or something like that.

most of us have root already

would be nice to actually know how to do this.

on a side note

on my uscc gs3 on android 4.3 tw i can not change the mmsc in ##3282#

all 3 entries for mmsc, mmsc proxe and mmsc port have the original mmsc us cellular url in each entry

dont ask me how but it does

when i try to "edit" in ##3282# meny it always changes all 3 at same time
