there is an app in the market called netmonitor

here is the link

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.parizene.netmonitor

this will tell you what ''carrier'' you are roaming on.

Gave this a try on my EVO 3D today and wow what a difference.

I stream podcasts and music to/from work and know every little dead zone along the way.

Tonight on the way home, no issues :)

Arguably one of the best MODS for our phones :)

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
Yes sir, it can come in very handy. My sprint signal is the pits at work. I can barely muster over 100kbps now a days. Running the Vzw prl I'm close to, or over 1mbps. Makes Pandora so much nicer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JDM Civic EG8:
Verizon prl 0001 works awesome, I was only getting around 100kbps if that. But now I'm getting around 1.2Mbps life is finally good!

Maybe I spoke to soon. Data has been great. I sent a few texts earlier today after doing the 00001 PRL update and no issues what so ever.

Then tonight I began receiving an error upon sending SMS messages:

Error Class: 2

There a solution?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
Seems to be one of the downsides Myn. I never received that error. But I had the issue of getting texts hours after they were sent to me. I use the mod sparingly myself. I've never ran the prl hack more than a few hours at most.

If the ROM you want to run doesn't have an EPST feature (CM7 for example) then you must edit your PRL before flashing that ROM. Once you flash the new ROM, the PRL is already set.

Just updated my radios and I can't wait to see how this works with 00001 prl. I'll wait until next weekend I try not over due the hack, not trying to get booted from my plan.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dinoman22:
I am in a weird predicament.

I have the prl 00001.

Greater speeds on 3g by far.

I have two phones on the 129.99 everything plan. {180 after taxes. Etc.)

I have been behind on bills so they disabled the secondary phone.

It happens to be the one I use.

I made a payment to reactivate the 2nd line. Keep in mind I forgot the 00001 prl was still on the phone. The rep said the 2nd line would be good in 30 minutes.

I waited about an hour and called back, and said the phone was still directing me to the finance dept.

The rep pushed it through.

Then I noticed *2 directs me to verizon. But this time there was no triangle to tell me I was roaming.

I tried updating the prl to 60681 it then immediately pops a triangle in the signal bar. I have accidently confused my phone for the better? I guess I'll need to monitor the roaming usage. They must still know I'm roaming even if the triangle is there or not. It's too good to be true... I'll report back. Current usage 3g roaming is 3218kb.

MikFroYo 4.62

EDIT***Definitely shows as roaming 3g jumped to 18000kb after downloading mikg 2.5... Ah too good to be true indeed,

Guess I'll update prl to 60681 and have sprint report fix it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
This is so hard not to keep hacked. I need these speeds when I'm at home. But it's a pain to keep going back and forth to MIUI and then back to Sense. Wish there was an app

Same here so I decided I'll stay on miui hopefully they don't cut me off. I'm loving the speeds .

[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
I would watch staying on roaming. Just looked over Sprint's roaming policies and it is guaranteed that you will get booted if you ate roaming. I wish there was a app that could let you choose when you want to roam. Until then I'm no longer going to hack. Don't want toloose this plan.

Yeah same here. I'm not trying to get on another plan. It's just not worth it
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
I think this has been brought up before, but if you are running a VZW PRL the phone doesn't know it's roaming. Thats why you get 3G data speeds etc. But if you have the app Roam Control, you can force your phone into roaming mode. So turning on Roam Control should force you back on the Sprint network right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
There is. Boot manager. Run a sense Rom from your SD card then reboot back to miui.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churro7:
how do i use this hack?

##775# no longer does anything
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
You need to install one of the many EPST.apks listed in this thread. Or use a ROM that has an already functioning/supported version of eclair EPST.

[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Is that an app sounds like you just told me what I usually do. What does the app do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] yamaford:
You probably nandroid back and fourth.

Boot manager gives you an option to actually reboot into your other Rom. No need to backup your first Rom becouae it doesn't touch it. It literally builds another Rom with its own system and data right on the SD card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Hmmm ok. I'll have to give that a try.

Unfortunately, no. I was hoping for this. With this PRL, the phone is on verizon or nothing. No way to switch back to sprint with Roam Control. I checking using Netmonitor

Is there anyway to combine the goods from this PRL (Verizon and speeds) with some other PRL so that it will only roam to Verizon when set to 'roam only' in RC?

Just wanted the community to know I successfully adapted this to evo shift with perfect result, no damage to wimax.

I came from verizon about 2 months ago, and was experiencing 1.5M+ download in boise, id area. Sprint was 100 to 600k and aver 150k. The shifts epst does not support ##prl# so I had to use qpst as described here http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-3d/98250-guide-how-change-your-prl-no-root-required-2.html

I could not find evo shift diagnostics drivers but was able to manipulate some evo ones to think they were for shift (broke driver signatures, but worked)

Anyway wanted folks to know the premise is identical and the outcome undeniably favorable if verizon has better coverage/speeds in your area.

Sprint dont care about data.The trick is to use more minutes in roaming then on sprint network.

btw I used this prl in montana (there are no sprint coverage).3g speed was amazing!

After 1 hour of wi-fi tethering my 0004 hardware simply burned.Now I cannot roam at all!!!!!!

I tryed everything: rooted/unrooted/flashed stock RUU LIKE 4 TIMES.

Hardware is toasted.

My phone is insured,not a big deal.Just want to warn others
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
Wow I didn't even know that was possible to do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vin255764:
Yep,me too lol.NNow when Im in roaming area,I can see full roam reception,but cannot make a single phone call,no data arrows,phone gets super hot within seconds and brand new extended battery drains from 100% to 50% within 1 minute.

When on sprint everything is back to normal.Very strange
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
That is strange. My phone has never done anything like that when it's roaming.
[EVO 4G Android Development] galaara98:
So what's the consensus on this... The hack works beautimous for me.... But does sprint send cease and desist nasty notes or doesn't care?
[EVO 4G Android Development] iamsavedme30:
I don't think Sprint really cares. I only use the hack on e weekend when I'm home in my apartment. Otherwise I'm on the regular prl. Especially sense I am on MIUI.

No SMS with this hack?

Same exact thing here. Good speeds, good voice.. *2 goes to VRZ , everything seems to be as it should, except no ability to send texts (same error as above) and no recieving either.

So just to clarify.. NO ONE is using this with working SMS?

This just means that your profile needs to be reset on Sprint's servers. They need to do something on their end. Call them up, say that you have already updated your profile and PRL, but in the past you have needed Sprint to reset some data profile on their end. They will have you turn off your phone, wait a cpl minutes while they do their update, then turn your phone back on and it should work just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonathan.strunk:
so don't know about the texting/phone calls or whatnot yet but i just updated the PRL on my phone. Went from 0-2 bars max... usually 1 bar in the office where i work to a full steady 3 bars. Didn't do the speedtest beforehand but my after speeds were an average of 700kbps up and down with this PRL and all roaming turned off.

No sure but the way i understand this, if i turn off roaming i force the phone to use the "local" towers which is this case are verizon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vega:
i just did but while on sprint current prl. did i have to do it while on the prl that i want. hopefully this works if i does i will surely try to get the word out i see that alot of people are having issue with this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigd2442:
UNfortunately, this didnt fix it. I spent like 45 minutes on the phone with tech support resetting stuff to no avail....

I even did it manually by goin ##3282#.. no fix.

I also went back and undid the changes made for the "3g spped fix" where you zero out the 2 items under the advanced menu... put those back to stock... no fix.

Another interesting little tid-bit... the phone actually works now with 00001.prl... but still no text.

I went back to sprint prl and all is well again. (because Im not at work.. where i have no sprint service).

I guess this just isnt going to work fgor me.:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] kbtoiz:
Well, I have use this "trick" since December and finally the call came. Sprint call me to warn me about roaming, and to know if I was aware that I was doing it. I tried to be polite, also tell them that I didnt care to bringing my money to Verizon, thinking that she would say "no need to do that sir". The women told me that Sprint will do me the favor and cancel my contract on the spot and waive the fees so I could go to Verizon. So, I have to shut my mouth, and stop doing this...:mad:

Roaming went from 71,449kb to 212,205kb in less than 24hrs.

I actually like sprint and i pay less than i would on any other service so i'm switching back before i get the call...

[EVO 4G Android Development] frozndevl:

No I wasn't all the time. I was using it when I was at work inside a big metal building. I only use it for browsing when my work pc didn't let me. Once in a while stream radio and a game. Also to get calls and messages . As soon I get out of work, I would update my prl.
