So, I had CM6 and 1.40 pri, but I could not roam. I reinstated Fresh, still had 1.40 and issues. Called Sprint...they had me do a factory reset and did something on their end. Now I have 1.34 and prl 60700. Help.

I meant to say prl 60670.

Did you even check to see if the roaming issue was fixed or did you just look at the PRI number and complain cause it's not the latest one out there? >.>
Testing the roam issue today. Thanks.

Roaming works. Should I try to get 1.40 back now?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If it works, why would you want to change it?
Higher data speeds with the new pri.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
1.40 is what gave you the roaming problems in the first place.
Yes, I know. Some people have it and roaming works.

And it obviously doesn't with yours. You've tried it with 2 different ROMs. Unless you feel like throwing a bunch of ROMs at it, be my guest. I'd say if it's not broke, don't mess with it. What speeds do you get?

new pri doesnt mean better data speeds for YOU unless YOU tested it.
if the towers by you are pushing out 1.34 its for a better reason than you have.
if you want to get back to 1.40 then go flash steelH's 2.2 and update it.

Getting anywhere from 146 to 1156 down and 59 to 808 up over 3g, depending on time and location.
This brings up a good point...

lucky you posted in the right place...
but no, PRI updating does not always affect your ability to use the phones' cellular radio...
it simply changes the way it works

I never have more than one bar of service on my evo, at best two bars. My reception is -84 dBm. I live in Houston so the area is not the problem. Everything else is working great. Any advice on fixing? Though I would try here before calling sprint.

Did you update the radio recently?
Yeah I updated my radios and everything else from here.

If that's when it started you should revert back to a previous version.
Its also true that after you update a radio you should update your prl and data profile
No this has been going on for a while now, I was hoping the radios would help and they did for 3g speed. Just my service blows. What is considered a good dBm?

You mean it's always this bad with that phone or it's always this bad no matter which Sprint phone you have?
I have a HTC evo 4g, I think I noticed right after I rooted it last November. Running cm7 rom.

Rooting won't do anything related to that...
CM7 tends to be more accurate on displaying your real reception.
You may just be at the edge of a tower.
In my settings, (Mobile network state: disconnected). Could that be it?

you wanna talk about bad service!!
I just pray to God none of you are from west Michigan... our network has been over its capacity since December 22, 2010.. I know this cause I work at a service and repair store, makes me want to hurt a child.
texts come in hours/days late and if they do come in.. it comes in 5+ times... calls take 45-50 seconds to connect, voicemails come in DAYS later, you will have a missed call and your phone never rang.. internet is almost impossible. makes me hate my job!!!
So i get about .54 mbs on my 3g but thats about it. ive got 1.50 mbs in the same spot in my house before. my radio and wimax are all updated. what can i do?

you can try a verizon prl..have you done that
No I haven't. I will look into that. I wish my phone could switch prls on the fly for best service on its own.

Updating your firmware isn't going to resolve an issue like that.
Is this a new issue?
Have you called Sprint?
Maybe there is an outage in your area.
Yes I've called sprint, they haven't been much help there is no outage and this so called "dead zone" is only at my home and basically there is nothing they can do to help me this is so frustrating! !!

That doesn't mean anything. The way your house is built can cause poor signal. They could also be closer to the tower.

Did you flash or update to the latest radio 2.15.00.0808.
I'm too newb to post a link, but there is a zip on post 2725 that worked good for me. Increased my signal and speeds, not sure if it will help you or not.
All EVO Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV & HBoot versions

call them again. i got mine last week totally free. i didnt have to threaten to cancel or anything like that. i just asked about it and they said that they would send one right out. 2 weeks later...full bars.
might have been said already but i was wanting to change my prl to get faster data speeds while roaming at home. 1x isnt cutting it! I was reading in another thread something about EPST.apk? maybe for different phones not sure.. Im on cm9a4 and currently use roam control to roam.

Good question... I never thought to ask since it is such a specialized procedure I figured that was the only way to do it. I would love to be able to switch it in and our on the fly. Lol

most phones you can.. but on this one i dont think so, I havent been able to figure it out.. there is no ##prl# and it isnt in the epst program either..
There is no way to change prl from just the phone, sorry.
Korey's thread in general section has step by step how to do it with qpst program.

I generally stick with PRL 01115, which grants 3G roaming in most areas, paired with Roam Control to force roaming if I absolutely need it.
Just curious what a different PRL could do for me. Would i be able to get better signal? Or possibly even use my phone in canada and mexico? Whats the point of changing it. Where do i go to find prl's?

a different prl means using specific antennas that spring doesn't want you to use. you can already use your phone abroad through your gsm radio. I wouldn't recommend changing prl unless you want to piss off sprint. they will see you costing them Verizon bytes and either cancel your contact, sue you, or put a hit out on you; most likely they will do the first two thought.
there is a benefit to UPDATING your prl this is a setting in your menus and it could help with speed or signal but if you are having to do this too much I would call sprint to yell at their local capacity issues
