The main people who use roam only are those who have better Verizon than Sprint coverage. They flash a corporate prl and get full Verizon coverage. I don't believe you'll get lte with roam only on.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] chaotix000:
I have excellent Verizon coverage out here...maybe I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the reply.

How do we try this? I'm new to cdma phones
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hcyplr29:
My Sprint service is moderate to poor. Loaded a corporate prl and use roam only in vipers Rom and have excellent service now. Still testing the waters with Sprint to see what I can get away with without getting into roaming issues. Using maybe 50/50 currently.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] atahmas2:
Hi,

I switched to sprint for the One (came from verizon). Absolutely fed up with not having service anywhere...am currently running viperrom.

I activated roam only, but I dont know where to get a corporate PRL for verizon... verizon has great service in my area and I'd like to keep my phone on verizons network.

Can anyone help me out?

Thank you very much

You will need your msl to change your prl though. Just goto sprints website and use the support chat applet and ask for you msl. If they wont give it to you just close the chat and redo it till one gives it to you. Then when you have your msl upload the prl of your choosing to your phone, goto the dialer and do ##778# and click edit mode, enter your six digit msl number. Go down to PRL and click update prl and browse to where you saved the prl on your phone, save, commit modifications then it will reboot.

Note that Sprint only allows upto 300mb of roaming data before they can do something about it. Not saying they will but they may call you if you use a lot of data roaming in a couple months and say they are gonna let you out of your contract with no early termination fee. Supposedly they will contact you sooner then later if you use a lot of voice minutes roaming, sooner then say using a lot of data. A lot of people do a ton of data roaming on purpose just to get out of their contracts free and clear :P

If this is true wouldn't the device have a bad esn?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] atahmas2:
thanks so much! getting out of my contract is exactly what im trying to do, lol. it sucks because i moved to sprint and lost grandfathered unlimited LTE at verizon...no biggie i guess. i loved LTE tethering though

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jcwxguy:
your roaming on voice, the lte is coming from sprint. No sprint devices can "roam" on any other carriers lte network as the radios are not made for that. Its like trying to pick up a radio station when your tuned in to say 106.3 but your wanting to pick up 94.7 while on 106.3 its just not going to happen

If you are running ViperRom there is no need for roam control app in case you didn't know

##778# Does Nothing

Hi all,

Although I've rooted and ROM numerous phones in the past, I'd prefer a solution I can help others with without doing the root/ROM dance. ##778# doesn't do anything on my Sprint HTC One. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] OMJ:
for ##778# to work, the build.prop needs to be edited....to edit, you must be rooted
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcflyy_:
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader from the computer or some type of special app ( not Asus app )
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
No. ASUS uses RSA-128 encryption to lock their bootloaders. I invite you to Google a bit about RSA-128 encryption. In order to break it, you either need advanced knowledge of cryptography and algorithms, or you need a supercomputer (preferably both), and even then, it may take years to brute force the encryption key. If you were to try to brute force the key on an average desktop computer, it would literally take billions of years to break it. No joke.

TL;DR: You would have to be a genius with a very powerful computer to unlock your tablet without the ASUS app.

I recently got hooked up with the T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 521 and I am very impressed. I am really liking Windows Phone 8, I never thought I would. It's fresh, clean, modern, no wonder Apple is rumored to be taking some of it's feature and bring them to iOS 7. I think the Lumia 521 is a steal at $129, you get 4G, Windows Phone 8, no contract, and while I know the build of higher-end Lumia's are nothing close to the Lumia 521, I am living it. Wanted to share my first impressions, wtc.. not trying to promote myself, lol, if I'm not supposed to post links let me know and I'll remove it.

[Windows Phone 8 General] TJBunch1228:
Nice review. Only criticisms I can think of are a typo right at the beginning and you talked about WP8 on the whole about as much as you talked about the phone you were reviewing. It felt like an OS review AND a phone review. Dunno if that's a bad thing but it stuck out to me.

Wish that phone wasn't sold out everywhere though. Freakin great deal for a decent smartphone.
[Windows Phone 8 General] busab:
Thanks for the quick review. I'm thinking about picking this up tomorrow if I can find one. I've been wanting to try out a windows phone for a while, but didn't want to spend a lot of cash.

This will be fun to have along side my note 2.
[Windows Phone 8 General] jeg815:
Thanks, it was my first time using Windows Phone 8 and I guess I focused on the OS since I was really impressed with it, and typo fixed. It's not sold out everywhere, HSN has it for $149, also wrote about that:

http://www.itechpost.com/articles/9...21-contract-free-windows-8-smartphone-hsn.htm

You are 100% right, it's a GREAT deal for a decent smartphone. It's making me want a higher end Lumia now though, lol. I also wish there were more popular apps. One of my favorite iOS and Android apps I use is the free Pocket app. I've been "trying" Read Later. Hopefully more popular cross platform apps make their way to Windows Phone. I currently have an iPhone 5 on Verizon and think the Lumia 521 is a great spare phone, especially since i miss being able to use unlocked phones now and switching sim cards.
[Windows Phone 8 General] danny8:
Good review.

I managed to obtain one of these from my local Wal-Mart. It's a really good deal, if not the screaming bargain a lot of people are saying. They cut costs and features intelligently.

Mostly, I like the sturdy design and the way it fits together. I don't think I'll even get a proper case for it, although I might look around for a simple sleeve.

I used an X-acto knife and cut down one of my SIMs (I have three prepaid accts.) to micro-sim size. The result was so-so and I had to fidget with the SIM position (powered off, then retry) several times to make it to work. I wised-up and paid a local vendor to punch out my 'main' SIM. That one works much better ...word to the wise.

Windows Phone 8 is mostly good. Feels a bit unfinished. Task-management is weird. Built-in music player is odd; if I can figure out a good choice I'll pay for an alternative. Live tiles don't always update in a timely fashion. That might be the app developers fault.
[Windows Phone 8 General] PR0XIDIAN:
I have a galaxy note ll which is a complete powerhouse. Its running the pacman rom which is similar to cyanogen. I Love it. I just bought one of these lumia 521's though. Its on its way in the mail. =) Looking forward to having an extra phone lying around. I work as tech support, so owning a windows phone will help me with t/s as well
[Windows Phone 8 General] busab:
I never did get the 521. Have you gotten yours yet? What are your thoughts?

I'm running jedi master x14 right now on my note 2. I haven't tried pacman yet. I usually switch back and forth between jedi and liquid smooth.
[Windows Phone 8 General] sashusmom:
just got one

Hi guys. I am coming from a gNex with JB- running flapps unofficial and a Note i717 running Avatar 4.2.2 with a UCMD3 baseband. Both of these were not tmobile phones and I run a t-mobile sim on the $30/100min monthly 4g. I usually switch of phones depending what size I want to carry.

When tmobile got the iphone 5 I was tempted to give apple another chance, but then rumors were abundant for the 5s or the 6 coming out soon. Plus I don't want to go on contract- yes, even the no contract is sort of a contract- unofficially till you pay off the phone.So I held off.

Then I saw this lumia windows 521 and I just got a windows 8 touch screen computer. So for Walmarts price, I bought one. I have been playing with it on Ptel for 2 days, and have just punched my tmo sim and put that in. Just ran a speedtest. Blew me away. 18-20 mbps down, and 3-5 up. Wow. That doubles my best on the Note.

I was looking for a smaller phone but with the 4 inch screen. This is working out pretty well. It's about the size of an iphone 3gs with a bigger screen. I am sorting out windows phone 8. Totally different from iOS and android which I have been using steadily for 2 years.

I think the build quality is fine.

Pros

1.Screen is very clear and bright and responsive. I turned the response to low and it still works great. - the font can be made large enough read

texts and emails easily. I love the large screens but not the large phones. Nice compromise.

2. fits well with a good weight in the hand

3. the cover is easily removed and replaced with a replaceable battery and an sd card slot for up to 64 gb

4. I haven't found it lacking for apps that I need- For android I have so much junk on my phone it's nice to only have good ones.

5. My google contacts easily copied as well as my google calendar appts. But the included calendar is so small on the month view it is difficult to read them. Daily is just fine though.

6. Battery life seems incredible. It's down to 79% after 24 hours of use. With data on. Very little use though.

Cons

1. You can add rings tones for calls, but not for sms and notifications. Don't know about alarms yet.

2. Can't put apps on sd card- just internal 8gb worth of space. They did come out with " lumia storage check" app which allows you to put maps on the sd card.

That's as far as I got with the cons. I will use for a couple days and edit.

I came from the note 717 and galaxy s2x. I was looking at the 520 which is similar to the 521. After much debate, I got the Samsung ativ s. I love windows phone, its fast and polished. Having office is a great help too.
[Windows Phone 8 General] sashusmom:
Contract or non? How much compared to the 521? 521 was $130 off contract- compatible with any carrier.
[Windows Phone 8 General] steve adams:
I got a three year, but had to pay off my note 606 dollars. The 520 is 129 off contract.
[Windows Phone 8 General] glenroebuck:
Samsung Ativ S is around 300-350 off amazon or ebay (t899m) which supports TMO LTE. I have both the 521 and the Ativ. The 521 is nice but the screen is all but unreadable outside in the daylight. I prefer the amoled sammy screen at 720x1280 as well and the 1.5 dual core/16 gb ram. (and it supports microsd cards). about twice the price of the 521 but for what I got it was worth it - 521 is a great windows phone for the price though! You can probably pick up an 810 off ebay for close to the price if not a little over - which has a much better screen and processor.
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
1GB of RAM, 16GB of Flash. These are not the same thing; don't confuse them. With that said, it is relevant that the ATIV S has 2x the RAM of the Lumia 521.
[Windows Phone 8 General] vetvito:
It's relevant the Ativ S has 2x the ram because some apps and games won't run on 512mb RAM devices.
[Windows Phone 8 General] abrcrmdl23:
I just ordered one from HSN yesterday for $99.

RAM Doesn't mean anything on WP. You'll get the same experience as a 1020 or 925 on a 520/521
[Windows Phone 8 General] sashusmom:
I've had this phone for 2 months and really love it. $99 hsn was a great deal. Jealous of that. I paid $130 with no accessories. Enjoy.

My most used feature is sms, mms, and the navigation feature. That is really great. And the phone of course!:laugh: I was thinking before I got the 521 of trying the iphone5 for a smaller screen and good user experience. Sometimes android just flakes out on my Note, and when I really needed it twice, it was not usable. Could be due to all the hacking I have done on it though. But considering the cost of the iphone5 and the 521- the 521 won and was a great choice for a smaller phone. It's even smaller than my galaxy nexus. And I enjoyed learning the new windows phone 8.

I love android, but when win phone 8 matures it will give android a run for it's money! :p
[Windows Phone 8 General] Nick300:
This is my first Windows Phone and speaking mostly for the OS, I think Microsoft did a kickass job. Smooth as butter, and I don't miss multitasking 20 apps in the background. The speaker of the phone sometimes goes incommunicado, but everything else works just fine. Don't miss the $600 tag of an iPhone either

[MENTION=296812]jeg815[/MENTION] Thanks for the review and getting this thread going. Had my Lumia 928 since release date and love it. So sick of all the negative reviews and "stats" about how far behind Microsoft is in the mobile game. So what if it's locked down and we don't get "official" apps. That just makes our developers more creative and dare I say special. Have you seen some of the work these guys do? Amazing!!! In my opinion not only is the OS great but it's beautiful to look at. Thanks again!!!
[Windows Phone 8 General] busab:
Exactly! People forget that Android used to be in the same boat with the lack of apps.

I used to have an HD2 running WP7.8, but the digitizer broke :( Since april I've had my Lumia 920, unlocked. but on contract ($61 total cost per month) for 2 years. And during the time I've had it, I've turned a couple of relatives into Lumia users, and a couple of peeps at work. Everyone that gets their hands on it and gets to play with it switches to a Lumia over here.

The people in the phone stores thou, they openly tell customers to use iPhone5/SGS4 instead of WP8. A friend of mine visited a store and wanted a Lumia 920, and they tried to push an iPhone5 on her instead even though she refused.

In my experience, WP is underrated and ignored by people who won't even give it a chance.

There's this guy spreading what crap WP is, and I asked him, have you ever used one, which he hadn't. Why spread crap of something you know nothing about.

Oh, sorry for the wall of text, wasn't really my intention xD Haha, Back to developing now ;)
[Windows Phone 8 General] xSharpi:
Great for the price!!!

I do own a Lumia 521 and I can say this is a steal for the price and especially off contract. I'd recommend buying it that way. Even though my friends say my phones old and isn't advanced like the new Lumia's. This phone performs great! It doesn't lag at all, I've never seen this phone hiccup or stutter anywhere it's awesome compared to low end android phones that only come with Gingerbread or maybe Ice Cream Sandwhich. You have basically the same features as the higher priced/premium Lumia devices in a more affordable package. I'm in love with this phone and can't wait to get another Windows Phone!!! ???

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XeoNoX:
Poweramp allows the use of the volume buttons to skip tracks, and the paid version also allows the use of mic button on headphones to play/pause/skip forward/skip back, depending on how many times the button is tapped

I believe DoubleTwist may have volume skip as well, plus (I think) it has the ability to sync with iTunes.

This feature would be really nice to have, although it can't be part of a music application.

Well I'd say get the N7, but I can't deny that I'm being biased. Since it is for simple tasks, the N7 should be a good buy. Also, I always found the N7 to be more aesthetically pleasing to the other tablets in the market. Good luck!

My sister has the tab 2, I have a nexus 7. Using both the nexus 7 is a lot better. Newer version of android, MUCH nicer screen, faster, more fluid.

If you use the Stickmount app, then there is no need to root the N7. Note that in my post I used the word "really". Sure, an SD card slot can be a little more convient, but when you consider that the extra storage space isn't needed all that often, it isn't *really* a big deal. And a 4" OTG cable isn't *really* all that messy. It certainly wouldn't influence my choice of device.
