Okay this might sound noobish, but I was wondering if you can force roam onto the Verizon towers? I am S-ON with CM10 Nightly From Jan 7th 2013 I have HBOOT 2.09.0000 and on PRL 25010. I don't care if I get my contract terminated. I would prefer it. what I wanted to know was if there is a way can you tell me please? Thanks.
-Much Love, Jeffrey
Yes, you can force roam, and yes, you will get cancelled. Idk how that works with your etf etc though.

Have you tried updating the radio version or do you have poor signal? I'm on cricket and if I have a not so great signal my data basically comes to a crawl. You also could try *22804 and update the prl ota, you might have the wrong version.

How do i update the Radio???I think my radio version is 1.09.Which came with the ICS OTA update from sprint...At first when i first flashed myphone it wouldnt let me dial *228.I have tried about 9 different PRL's and now finally i can dial *228.But i live exactly 1 Block from the nearest Cricket Wireless tower.Most of the time i have Full Bars at home and its still slow..But i flashed my phone myself and i thought i did something wrong so i paid a flashing service to do it.But then after they did it and it was still slow i reflashed it again.What is your Download speeds?
Yeah thats the exact proxy i am using..What rom are you on?Because i also thought maybe if i flashed a custom rom it wouldnt cause me any more trouble.Because i really like this phone and i want to keep it but im so ready to trash it because of the Data speeds...I talk on my phone maybe 10mins out of a whole day and the rest of the time i use it for internet..

The wire trick is very tricky to get to work, I was in hboot 1.58 when I first bought this phone and I had to have HTC sync and the adb drivers installed in order for that program to find my phone, and if you have any trouble with the timing of the wire trick look it up on you tube, I had to do that lol

Same story, same problem. Using dirty unicorns. Very slow data speed. I had to flash an HTC one v from virgin to cricket and get great data speed. Maybe because the sprint firmware is different and routes data a different way? I am still searching.

So you are like me in an area where there is no LTE and your data speed is slow. Just add the HSPA APN and your speed will increase. Simple...

Okay, so you're saying an area that doesn't have LTE. What if you do have LTE? I have LTE in places around Houston, but I'd love for my HSPA to be faster. Will this break my LTE?
It's so awesome. I'm at my friend's apt right now and I seen 24.8Mbps. Like WTF!? \('o')/
It does say adding something and not just replacing. I guess I can give this a try right now. I'll post back to see if my LTE falters.
EDIT: Well I've added the new APN. Everytime I try and select it, it jumps back to the default APN. Maybe it will switch when I leave this LTE area. I'll try then.
How do I get to the area where I add the apn setting?

I've gone back and forth on the change and at times, the upload speed is quite miserable. I've seen some uptick in the download speeds for the better on the order of going from around 2.5 - 2.9M up to 3.6 - 4.6M. Certainly not the increases some of you are seeing, but I'll keep my eye on this. Thanks nonetheless!

My best guess, is what @w7excursion said. Your sim card has not been programmed for your account. Your best bet, would be to take it to Sprint store, that is also a repair facility. You may have to go to more than one, until you find someone competent enough to handle it.

And yea I got it from best buy and had them replace my first one and then I called sprint like a month ago and they stated they had no idea. But if you literally Google those words sprint and note 3 you will see other people are having issues with it. I think sprint is having problems having to depend on a similar card for lte.

You're not the only one with useless data speeds. I'm happy on days when LTE speeds reach 1Mbps, here in the Houston area.
How fast is my 3G connection supposed to be?
I am getting less than 1 Mbps download speed when i am on 3G.
Is there a way to make that faster?
im not complaining about the 4G LTE Spark i get about 45 Mbps on that.

We can already change prl's, just not without a computer. That won't fix Sprint's horrible 3g speeds that it has always had though.

Well we can however roam with Verizon if we can do that witch we can avoid using sprint as much as possible.

We can get 3g roaming on Verizon, yes, but you risk being cut off of Sprint if you use over 300mb of roaming, or even more roaming data than Sprint data. I have received a warning before. I was able to get roam control to work on zv6, but have been unable to get it to work on zv8, which let's you switch to roaming whenever you want, not just forcing you to always roam to Verizon like the 00001 prl does. I only got a letter for one line that had 2 consecutive months of roaming over 300mb, and more roaming data than Sprint data, though.
What's funny though, is on a line that I used 10gb of roaming, but over 30gb of Sprint data, I never received a warning letter.
