I jut wanted to see if anyone could give me advice on having better signal. What exactly effects thesignl strength? I know its the prl and I believe I also read that the modem hassomething to do with it also. I've tried different modems I can probably say the best I've used was ec05 but I'm running eh17 now and I update my prl every couple of days. I be in my basment a lot ad I get a lot of call drops or don't receve calls at all and I get texts late or don't receive them at all either. Ifanyone knows anythin I can try that might fix these problems it would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Try updating your prl manually... there should be a guide in the devolpment section.. and the issue can be your basement.. I get great service in certain areas of my house but the basement usually only gets good service if I leave my phone alone and don't move it.. so it has a steady signal- that could be your issue too. Updating your prl manually isn't easy for beginners so what I would do is read the instructions very carefully

it may be because of my basement but I used to have 1-2 bars but I switch roms and try new modems and now I usually have 0-1 bar in the basment. And even when I am outside I still sometimes miss txts.
I read that thread once it waspretty confusing.. probably because I wasn't trying it. But the thing thatmade me not try it was the face that I have to choose the prl number that I want so I have no idea how to tell which one is best and even by reading what ppl say tey might be in a different place where their prl is better. So I'm really not sure about what to update the prl too and I honestly don't really know everything about prl. So I won't be messing with it until I really understand it.

1. Buy Roam control @market
2. Set it to roam only
Well the prl is the Preferred Roaming List so if your issue is when you have no signal, which other providers tower will you roam to, then the PRL matters. If your signal in your house is just terrible then it could be some new construction in the area messing with your signal. You could ask Sprint for an Airave if you complain that you have no service in your house and if you have enough credit for an additional line it will cost you the difference in taxes for another line per month. In Florida that was another $1.72 a month. Or as suggested try Roam Control.

Yes. Provided you have enough credit for another line. It is usually lent to you with the idea if you no longer need it you will return it. I have seen them try to charge those with not enough credit to qualify for an additional line. I qualified for 8 lines so had no problem getting one. Just have to pay the taxes on an additional line which depends on the state you are in.

I have asked this several times and the thread either moves too fast for anyone to notice my question or avoids it all together.
Without using the app "roam control" is there another way to force roaming in this device?? It finally roamed the other night on the tower just a few hundred yards away from the house for about an hour with full service and 3G at amazing speeds. It was a cricket tower. I have the prl 11115 but have yet to connect to the tower sense or before that hour. Cm9 on other devices including the photon that I have has built in force roam. I am on stock now for the epic with every roam setting set and before that hour I thought it was impossible for this phone to roam that tower. Now that I know its possible I want to be able to connect to it every time I'm home. What can I do? I can't buy the roam control app because it requires a PayPal account and mine is locked.

Cricket is actually pretty big here. I had no idea they had their own tower. Figured they shared cdma towers considering cricket is just a prepaid service here. But next time I'm able to connect to it I'll screenshot it. Also to the other guy that directed me to the prl thread. I read that thread from start to finish and did everything it asked and I am still having the issue. Can someone verify if cm9 for the e4gt has force roam or not? Its an internal feature not an app. It was built in to cm9 for the photon, mytouch 4G, evo, and atrix. I guess I could flash to verify for myself but I don't have access to the epic as a daily phone. Its being used by my brother atm who lives a few hours away. I am only able to go there once a month so testing is limited.

Which PRL are you on? If you are trying to force roaming, use one of the hacked PRL files at the bottom (00001 or 01337). "Your phone won't say its roaming but it is."
Of course, the carrier has to be listed in the file to roam.
Ok just moved into a new apt that has poor 3g signal with 2 bars and was suggested by sprint to get the airwave with my high speed Internet.. Well I was wondering I'm like a mile maybe 2 away from 4g, will it boost me into 4g coverage or just give me good signal within the home??

Doesn't help with 4g, but reception is way better.

The Airave doesn't boost signal, it's a femtocell, which is essentially a mini cell tower. It's 3G only and doesn't broadcast a 4G signal of any kind.
What datajosh said... And with wifi your data travels over that very fast.My two cents: I am so glad I have an Airave. I live in a fairly wooded area and both 3g and 4g (which I can get in town by the way) don't work well at all - for any carrier. I've had sprint up here for about 5 years and was looking at Verizon and ATT but neither could even get the anemic reception on 3g/1g I was getting on Sprint. Got an Airave and my signal is freaking great! I can walk out of my place to my garage about 50yds and still be on my unit. My sister got one because she too was was having issues down in SoCal (and the family has FIVE phones!). Now they can all get super reception. I set up my unit (and my sisters too) to be 'off' my network in a DMZ. Configured my router to allot an IP as DMZ and let the Airave use it as the 'public' IP. That way that traffic doesn't 'mix' with my local net and wifi. Lastly I just went to Amazon and baught mine for like $50.00 U.S. My sister made calls for about a week and finally spoke to the right person(s) and got one free!
I just got the Airave and the only thing I can see improved on is the reception of my calls (I get 5 bars instead of 2)
4g is the same
and 3g is still slow as heck..
also it has a build in GPS.. to tell you where you are..
It has about a 300 foot radius so if you go past that point you most likely will jump to another tower.
and when making and getting calls you get 3 beeps letting you know you are on the Airave. also dialing *99 will give you a message to let you know you are on the service.
If I am not mistaken the air rave is for call quality. 4g is purely data. Why wouldn't you just use wifi?I would think 4g would be slower than wifi anyhow. Feel free to call BS on this.
it only help with cell service.
you just get the air wave. ( they should offer it for free..)
and get on wifi network.
Have one myself. Great for calls and SMS/MMS but the data speeds are maybe half the speed of my DSL. I just use wifi for anything but calls, makes sense to me. Sprint had recently changed something with their towers out here and we were left with absolutely no service on my property. Sprints corporate numbers, including the CEO's, are not hard to find. I called and tore them a new one, I wasn't letting them get off easy with this one, being a sprint customer for yeeeaaarrrss. Long story short I got a free air rave for life out of it which I think was fair of them to do.
Just a note, if you have low bandwidth and you make calls while downloading stuff or just eating the bandwidth in general, you will have stupid delays in you conversations. Its just awkward.

Well maybe their speeds vary, but the whole point is if you have an air rave you most likely have wifi so why not just use that for data? The air rave is completely dependant on the broadband connection, its not like a range extender for sprint tower signal. I'm sure the phones modem has a lot to do with it as well.

YES & No!
If you have poor/fair service in your home, then just search xda forums for info on how to get it, or just PM me and I'll give you the info. I have very poor service in my home with sprint, that I just moved to. I and my family would all have to walk outside in the yard, to get a signal that was less likely to drop in the middle of the call. Even then, we only got 1-2 bars at most. In my house, we either didn't get a signal at all or it would drop out if we moved around.
I called the Sprint Retention line, and explained to them my issues with the service in my new home. I told her that I had searched the Sprint coverage map, and my area was listed with "Fair" service. She had me hold for just a few seconds to look up my address on their coverage map as well. Then she came back and explained the Airwave to me. I had never mentioned an airwave to this point.
She said that she had to check my area's coverage before offering it, because they've received a ton of request from people lately for this device, and many of them were in "excellent" coverage areas, and were simply calling because they heard they could get it for free. Just to have it I guess. Anyways, if you are in a poor-fair coverage area, and have real issues with coverage/dropped calls. Yes, they will send one for free and then not charge a dime. You just have to agree that it's their property and is to be returned at end of contract/service-termination.
I have one in my home as well. Works great. it doesnt support 4g but any sprint device will work with it. I get about 2-3 megs down with it running 3g.

Actually, my Airave sucks. Somebody else in my building has one that is locked to their phone number, and my ET4G always get confused and connects to that one. It basically keeps me from making any phone calls in my house. I have to go all the way into the street to call.
So, please be kind and don't lock down your airave to your account.
Also, even when it does work, I still get **** data speeds.
I'm in So Cal (The Valley to be exact) and my phone has had NO service for a few hours now. When I say no service, I mean NO service, I get the circle indicating my device is searching for a network. When I reboot the phone, it connects to Sprint but I don't have any signal. Then soon after that, I COMPLETELY lose service. Hopefully maybe nearby towers are being worked on. Though, seems unlikely at this time of night, AND i'd still be able to connect to another nearby tower. Anyone else having any service issues?
Sprint is going their network vision updates throughout all of la county right now. Trust me, the blackouts are worth it. They're doing work on the towers near me and my speeds are easily topping the 1mb download and upload. So far I've maxed out at a little over 2mb download and 1500kbps upload! I average around 1500kbps down and 1000kbps up. Your signal will be a bit iffy for the next few weeks though.
Edit: there's a new prl update it and at first u had crippling speeds but as I began to use my 3G more, my speeds are increasing. I was freaking out for a bit but just another heads up.

I use to work for sprint. Climbing towers. When I was there we tried to get the work done with least impact but a lot of it is driven by sprint's request and how many people are using the tower. If you have consistant LoS call sprint and ask them to check the tower or ask for them to open a ticket for a line sweep. Some of the times we had bent cables, which will block a lot of the signal.

Not sure. I'm almost positive there is a Airave/Airvana in my apartment building. I am actually on boost mobile on my Epic 4g. It is blocking my calls/texts. Didn't know if there was anyway to flash a PRL so boost can roam or if I can block the Airave somehow.

Yeah I downloaded that and I honestly didn't get the point of the app other than to tell me where the tower was. It would be useful if I could click the tower and connect to it. When I had Sprint before I switched to Boost I could roam with a program called roam control but with boost it wont let me.

where? i work downtown chicago and i havent seen it yet. :-/
11115 here...metro Detroit area. I haven't really noticed a difference with it. I bought roam control, but haven't set it up cause it apparently doesn't work on this phone from what people have been saying. If I'm in the house near my airrave its fine, but I get 0-2 bars if I go out on the porch, so I usually just stay on WiFi while at home. Seems worse than usual over the last month too. Hopefully that means they've started upgrading the towers around here.....yeah right....:what:

On s4gru, it states Chicago has the most completed towers, at 40% total complete. Your Area will hit soon.
Using 12124
PRL 24005 (business account)

Just manually switched to PRL 24005... and either Sprint fixed the data issues on the towers around me, or there's magic awesome sauce for corporate users.
EDIT: As I have no chance of LTE for a while, I'm switching to 12124.

There have been problems in my area, so these aren't necessarily indicative... but I got 500-800 on 24005, and 1150+/500+ on 12124.
I think it's time for me to flash a new PRL.
