Not sure where to post this so I'll start here.

I have a mifi device running my internet, my wife has her phone that I flashed to 3g as well. I can run online games on the mifi for the most part without too much trouble but I do get lag spikes every minute or so that can be frustrating. I noticed just a bit ago that whenever my wifes phone would receive a text message, I would lag like hell. Her phone was sitting right next to my laptop so maybe that is what caused it.

I will be getting a repeater soon that will hopefully raise my signal from the -83dbm I'm getting now. My brother claims that he can't have his and his sons mifi devices on at the same time or they mess each other up. I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with this at all? I can't imagine that it has anything to do with 3g and maybe it's the wifi part that's interfering with each other. In any case, I'd never thought in a million years that my wife getting text messages would cause me to lag. Very strange.

Oh and yes, these are on different accounts, I wasn't trying anything sketchy.

Is a Spring S3 or Verizon S3 easier to root and flash to PP?

I'm a happy Page Plus user but not a happy HTC Incredible user. The thing is old and problematic, so I want to upgrade to a Galaxy SIII... which means rooting and flashing.

I'm not sure if I'm going to try this myself or pay someone to do it. The part of me that likes to know what I'm using and its ins and outs says do it myself... but the I'm-too-busy-to-figure-this-out part of me is afraid I'd screw it up and not have time to fix it quickly and be out a phone for days.

But at the moment, I've got to buy the phone first. I'm looking at dozens of used and new SIIIs for sale, and I understand that I need to have either Verizon or Sprint in order for it to work with PagePlus... but can someone tell me if one is easier or better than the other for this? Once I find and buy the phone, then I'll tackle the question of whether to root and flash it myself or pay someone who already knows what they're doing.

Does it matter which S3 version I buy?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
The issue is not many of us flash to Cricket... This topic is about flashing to Page Plus or Selectel.........

There are differences with the two........

Verizon S3 Need Help Flashing

Hey everyone,

Just bought myself a Verizon GS3 on eBay and I am really excited to upgrade from my HTC Droid Incredible 2. I am looking to flash to Page Plus and I know Viper doesn't want to post any guides or for us to ask for any via PM; however I am lost. I read all the useful info at the beginning and have read through a lot on this thread, but once again, I am still lost. Anything is greatly appreciated, please point me in the right direction. I am headed back to school on the 5th and need to get this done. Sorry if I seem like a huge noob to everyone, but until now all I have done is unlock, root, and load custom roms to my Incredible.

Thanks everyone!

8573109, you'll need to research what the proper settings are for cricket. Each carrier's settings are different. This thread is for verizon mvno's. Other than mdn/min settings, everything else will likely be different for cricket.

Sounds like the wife's phone is switching off wifi to utilize cellular data (in order to retrieve the sms/mms) and then reconnecting to the wifi network (mifi) causing a slight lag to other mifi-connected devices.

Any S3 from Verizon, Sprint or US Cellular will be fine...............

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was entirely too tired to type when I wrote that. What was in fact happened is I had flashed her phone first and then accidentally put her NAM info onto the mifi, I've put my own on there now and all is good on that front.

Thanks! I'm off to choose a phone, and then decide whether to root and flash it myself or not...

Going back to stock

What is the best way to get back to stock? I didn't make a backup. I thought cyanogenmod installer (cminstaller) made a backup, but I'm not sure. I see files called recovery.img and a couple of zip files in the d2spr directory that it created...

But I'm thinking a stock MD4 recovery might be easier. I don't need to re-flash the modem, but maybe it's easiest to do all of it.

I found this: [ROM/RESTORE][!MD4 OTA!](5-10)Quick Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1904099

Is that done by placing the file on an SD card and doing a the recovery sequence?

What would you do as a simple way to get back to stock MD4 on my Sprint Galaxy S3?

I was going to try and replace the sprint APN file on my S3 with the file provided through the download link in the first couple of posts (apnpageplus.zip). This file does not appear to be the intended file. Why is it a zip file? When I open it up using notepad it looks very suspicious. Any thoughts and help on finding the correct pageplus apn xml file.

I suppose you have never looked at a APN before........ I pasted below exactly whats inside the APN. Which is a Verizon APN, not a thing suspicious about it at all........ WOW... Thats a new one on me ;)

I'm on stock-based 4.1.2. I have verified my data settings, and they seem to be completely right (including PPP and HDR config, HA/AAA keys, usernames, passwords, etc). I still can't find my issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
You can run it without a sim just want show a data icon and will have a no sim message. But all will work. Hard to say whats going on if you have all the data correct. I would have to read the flash to know. If you flashed with DFS which I assume most of you do since it is free, message me screenshots and I will take a quick look soon as I get the chance.

MMS is sending from SIM card number

Viper thanks for your post some posts way back "Do not flash it with the sim card in it, when you reinsert sim card though it will show whats on the sim card under the settings but the actual written settings will be used." That answered one of my questions.

I flashed my Verizon S4 I545 on 4.3. Everything works talk/text/and 3g & MMS. Although when sending an MMS it sends it from the number that is on the SIM card and not my actual number. Is this normal? How can I go about correcting this?

BTW thanks for starting this thread as it has been of much use to me with all the info located here. :victory:

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

4G LTE SIM new ok?

Just got a used VZW S3 i535 4gLTE with no SIM running stock JB 4.1.1. Haven't done a thing to it yet. My current device is a rooted HTC Droid Incredible (dinc) with Tiny's mod of CM 10.1 (JB 4.2.2). The dinc is running nicely on PagePlus 1x and 3g with no special flashing ever required.

I'm just beginning to delve into your thread, Viper, and will likely read all 300+ pages ASAP, but it will take time. Any suggested shortcuts will be GREATLY appreciated!

It appears I can get a new 3FF SIM designed for my new device pretty readily online.

Viper, you say you use a "used" SIM in your flashed Samsung devices.

Can I get a new SIM card and use your methods to get onto PagePlus with 1x + 3G reception with my S3 i535? Any special tricks or workarounds beyond what you talk about in this thread for a new SIM?

Thanks for taking on this project!

I have an i535 / bad ESN. Running Cyanogenmod or Bonestock. Previously flashed to P+. PM me if interested.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
A blank/new sim really trades one set of messages for another. You need a used sim in phones that require it.

All functions work fine on the vzw s3 without a sim, you just get the no sim popups/icon, and no 3G icon.

I've flashed my S2 to Pageplus. I used DFS. 3g is cutting off and on. I have 4g turned off. It almost seems like it is switching between data profiles although I could be wrong. 3G stays on for about 3 minutes, then cuts off and displays "error 67". After about a minute of showing the "error 67" 3G will come back on. I've attached screen shots of 3g working and then the error.

edit-For reference I've flashed phones before. I've flashed a Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, and a Razr.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
your profiles are not set right
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Proselytize:
Does the Note 3 need to be flashed to work on PP if data is not desired? I don't need 3G so I don't want to spend time figuring out how to flash it if it will just work for voice/text as-is (The 12 Plan).

Thanks for any info.

3G awareness without an icon?

Thanks gpz1100. Nice to know I don't need a 4G sim since I really don't plan to use it any time soon!

I have found no one selling used 4G SIMs online. Any suggestions?

If there is no 3G icon in the notification bar, is there any way to tell when the S3 is using 3G data? That matters to me because I have limited data with my service, and I need to stay on top of what is going on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpz1100:
^^There used to be a bunch of used ones sold on ebay.

You can find something in the google play store that will keep track of your data usage. The phone does have something built in too IIRC.

I use "call meter 3G", but it's a complete pain to configure. It's supports many different prepaid billing types. Once configured, though, it is quite accurate.

Sprint GSIII to PPC/3G

I finally got data working (at 1x) on this Sprint GSIII I've been trying to learn how to flash to Page Plus.

Used demo CDMAWS 3.9.9 and DFS 13.9.29.0.

For the next step of getting to 3G-- can some kind soul tell me if I still need to get a donor phone (I have guides) or if there is now a commonly known way of getting to 3g without the donor? I have read probably 500 pages of at least 60 70 threads over the past month and unfortunately most are outdated.

Hey Viper,

I've been testing out the MMS app that is provided on here that is for MMS messages coming up as being sent from the number on the SIM card. Sending MMS messages through that app and they still show up as being sent from the number on the SIM card. I've uninstalled/reinstalled and same issue. Just to see if it would make a difference I did a factory reset , installed the app again, entered in my number and selected page plus as my carrier and saved settings. Rebooted my phone and tested. MMS messages go through but still being sent from number on SIM card. I'm on a S4 I-545 running on android 4.3 and stock rom. If you have any input please let me know. Thank you.

You can do nothing with that, MrHunter13 was confused about the phone you were talking about.

That script is for ETS which is a VIA chipset PST. The aforementioned PST works with Galaxy Nexus CDMA, Samsung Illusion & a few other SPR/VZW model's.

You need a donor for 3g
