Im running a sense based rom.. konis elite II
And with stock rom I remembered if having a slow 3g connection
A quick prl and profile update would fix it
I should be ok doing that even if its not stock ruu right??
If this is a repost I apologize
If you could pm me the link and I will remove this
yes, updating profile and prl are fine to do if you are rooted.
However that isnt going to fix your speeds.

Noted ...
I've done the msl http proxy to 0 and 0.0.0.0
Just odd that im experiencing a significant decrease in 3g speeds with full bars
Don't know if it could just be due to over use on servers since sprint has opened up free calls after the tragedies in japan

I am on Cyanogen's rom with the newest radio. I also have my prl onto the 41003 alltell PRL(I have tried many), but while tethering through wireless tether pre9, my 3g constantly drops. The icon dissapears then comes back, and through ping I can see packets stopping.
Anyone else have this prob? I am going to see if this happens on a Sprint PRL... but it's pretty anoyying. I am pretty sure I used to be able to do this, maybe on an older radio, I've downloaded large Ubuntu 300 meg updates fine... can't do that now.
I just put the oldest pri and nv, and no more drops, still newest radio.

150ms ping time compared to the old 300 and I am on Alltell's/Verizon's towers 41003 prl.

You could just use the built-in Wi-Fi Hotspot ... works perfectly.

Nah same prob..., and just to clarify, when I flashed the PRI and the nvram, it changed my prl to a sprint one... that's why the good speeds and low pings. Except in certain parts of this building no signal. So I flashed the oldest radio 1.34...? and the 41003 prl and it works great.
Let's suppose I want to switch ROMs... Would I have to update the prl again?

no you wouldn't. But what prl? And are you getting decent 3g speeds?
PRL's will stay on the phone regardless of how many roms you flash. However you can only flash new prl's in sense roms. Just be careful you arent roaming too much. Since you cant change the prl in warm z, that means you are roaming 100% of the time. SPrint is bound to notice that.

As already stated by my friend, blakeboys, no, you do not, however, you should update your profile and I recommend checking for PRL (Preferred Roaming List) updates at least once a week.

Well I don't care about losing my contract with Sprint. I like having fast 3G speed. And wait, why should I check profile?

Your profile is your network settings for your phone. Helps with data connectivity and usually don't get corrupt. But what prl are you using to achieve good 3g speeds?
Well orignally I wanted to try the VZW prl (That one thread claiming 3g speeds with prls, it's somewhere around the forums here) but everytime I tried unzipping the file, it would keep unzipping over and over again so instead I used one called 00001.prl.
Again, you cant flash a prl with warm z or any aosp roms. If you are already running the verizon prl, it means you must have flashed it in a sense rom. If you want to continue to use the verizon prl, DONT update PRL or profile, as it will kill that prl.
How can I check my PRL? I see that a new PRL version, 60677, is to be comming out? I understand more then likely I have 60676 but I would like to check this is some way. I saw the way to "manually" check it but that led me to the thinking, is there a "automatic" way to check the PRL? Something where I can check it w/o plugging it into my computer?
Thanks,
Aaron
Settings/About phone/Status/PRL Version
Also the prl version 60677 got pulled from sprint so if u update it to that, sprint will revert it back automatically while u sleep or when u least expect it.
To update it prl: Goto Settings/About/System updates/update prl.
Thanks. Yes I am on 60676, what is the difference in 60677? It seems to be a big deal. Is this for that huge voice and data coverage drop?
Also, my network is "ACS" is this anything special or just a little "Advertising"

I believe there was a description of the changes in the prl thread...
But apparently helped roaming issues also enabled 3g while roaming from my experience, but it reverted back as i said sprint pulled it
What about the "ACS" network?

Has nothing to do with sprints network, mine says emotionless beast cause its part of the theme...
Doesn't matter what ROM you are on. PRL is the roaming and which towers to use. Hit Update PRL once a month, if you have a new PRL available it will install it.
I live in an area with perfect 3g coverage yet im luck to get 3 solid bars of signal and download speeds never exceed 30kb/s. tried updating the PRL manually, no change. So then I tried to update profile but when I did i for an error no network connection message. I get this message regardless of whether im in wifi, 3g, or 4g. Is this a bug in the leaked ICS builds or is there something wrong with the phone?

Try a different modem, I'd say kernel too but I'm assuming because we haven't gotten a repacked fb27 kernel yet your still on stock. I haven't had any issues with the FB leaks, occasionally I'd get an error message trying to update my profile and prl but i'd reboot, wait an hour then try again and it would update fine. I would try a different modem, since there isn't cwm yet for fb27 (unless your using fb21 kernel with a broken camera) you gonna have to flash a new modem through odin.
yeah im using fb21 kernel until pb27 gets repackaged. ill flash a diff model and report back.

Ya try that first man, because the FB21 rev2 break the camera, so it could be related to that too
Flashed FB15 modem. No change in data speed and still getting the "Error: Connection Error" when trying to update profile.

It's probably the kernel then man, flash the stock fb27 kernel through odin then try and post back
on it. brb
Stock fb27 kernel. same deal -_- maybe ill try reflashing but i remember having the same problem on fb21.
Strange stuff man. You've never had any errors on boot have you? Any failed flashes in Odin or accidently flashed a modem through the phone option in odin
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Nope, no boot errors. No accidental flashes. Maybe I'll odin back to EG30 and see if the problem persists.
Does your phone have a repaired esn? I never could update the profile or prl when I was running one. I always had to update the donor phone and then pull the info from it. Are you getting an error 67? What is your ping from speedtest? Usually 1X my pings will be 800-900 ms and 3G is under 300ms.
If your phone is legit, call Sprint tech support.
In my area, 3G is so bad the I hardly ever get over 100kbps and I have full bars.
Um, bought the phone legit from Best Buy. I called tech support this morning but they always got to the step where they tried to have me update profile which I cant do which is when I came here for help.
I'm in the process of Odining back to EG30. If its a problem there as well im going its going to make me think the phone is the problem and Im may look into getting a replacement. I want a white one anyway..

Just in case it wasn't obvious, update profile only works on Sprint's network. It doesn't work while roaming or over 4g.
Yeah, I'm not roaming and 4g is turned off. Thanks though.
I suggest you ODIN back to EL29 using the Full ODIN package in my signature. Then let the hands free activation (HFA) automatically run and update your phone. I suggest EL29 rather than EG30 or EK02 because your phone will try and download the EK02 and/or EL29 OTA updates wasting bandwidth and making your phone slow while it does so.
If HFA doesn't work, try update profile by hand. If that doesn't work, try ##786# reset from the dialer. Enter your MSL when it asks for code. To get your MSL, type
Code:
getprop ril.MSL
from adb shell
Ok will do. I re-flashed the fb21 kernel so I could make a backup of my current ROM real quick. Ill odin to EL29 once its done. Thanks for the suggestion.
Ok, so I'm back on EL29 and was able to updated profile and prl but download speed on 3g still only topped 40kb/s with 120 ping and 4 bars. I'm in a strong Sprint 3g area so I'm beginning to think there is something wrong with the 3g radio on this particular unit.

I doubt there is anything wrong with your radio with 120ms ping and 4bars.
It is more likely your tower is overloaded or you are connected using 1x instead of 3g. Stock Sprint software always displays 3G whether or not you are connected 3g. Although, with 120ms ping (1x would be slower ping), my thinking is you are connected 3g, just the tower is overloaded.
Hello,
I have an HTC EVO 4g that I had flashed to Metro. I had it working with text/1x web and phone calls for a few days. However, today I decided to try and get 3G working on the phone again to no avail. I'm not sure exactly what I did but whenever I place a call it now just goes to a 'If you would like to make a collect call' message. It sounds like maybe it's connecting to sprint again.
I've spent about 20 hours researching and haven't been able to fix it.
I've followed the steps on the following pages and it hasn't fixed anything. I've also flashed 3 different Metro PRLS and its still not making calls or connecting to the network. Anyone have an idea? thanks a lot!

ok make sure you min and mdn are in the right spot and if you did try that 3g thing then maybe you still have you phone in hdr mode change that back to automatic if none of that works then try prl 3025 if not then dial *2284 or *228 and update prl that should fix the prl and the min, mdn if none of that works pm me ill help you out !
Thanks a lot for the reply I really appreciate it. I tried the PRL update and i also did the *228 option, which connected me and programmed the PRL successfully. I'm still stuck on the to make a collect call message though. I had the phone moved over from Sprint and I think it had a different ph number in the MSID settings. I think i may have changed that MSID or the MIN to my current ph number? Should i take it back to Metro for a re-flash?
thx!
Got it all figured out. The MSID wasn't correct. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get 3G on this EVO. I am located in OC. Have you had any luck with it? 1X is terrible!
Yea i can get 3g working on stock 4.67 rom thats it w mms but not on custom roms what part of oc im in santa ana? Plust 3g here isnt as reliable as you think
Sent from my OG Evo
Thanks, Yeah i've heard metro 3g isn't that reliable around here. I'm in Costa Mesa by Harbor and Newport blvd. Should I just install the stock sprint Rom? 4.67?
Oh i know where thats at i used to work in that area im actually a mechanic lol if you woulg like or nightlys stock 4.67 rom they would both work
Sent from my OG Evo
Oooh nice. I may actually need some work done on my 2003 Hyundai Tiburon so I'll contact you if you do that sort of thing.
Do you happen to have a link to the nightlys 4.67 rom ?
also, is there a guide I can use to configure the 3G and MMS settings?
thanks again!
Well i just played w the 3g things and they have tge same speed in 3g or 1x so it dont matter
This is it stock not nightly
