Gives your phone a list of towers to roam from, so, assuming you were roaming, I suppose you could test your data speed.
Completely useless data and thread.

Its not a list of towers. List of cellular systems.
Your Sprint pcs band EVDO speeds will be the same on all prls. Even ones from a couple years ago.

This depends entirely on T-Mobile's service in your area, not the SIM card.

What he said.
It's pretty much the same as your existing T-Mobile phone, if not.. better.
what he said, but.....
it also depends on which radio you have installed. Samsung has a handful of different5 radios depending o where the phone was originally marketed for. All are basic GSM 5-band capable but each one has minor tweaks for specific networks. There are several threads on here debating which radio works best. Do a search if you are interested. For mine, the XXKK6 radio it arrived with (ordered from the UK) gets comparable reception to any other phone I have used on T-Mobile. You can see the radio version under settings .. about phone .. baseband version. Changing radios is easily done if rooted and you have basic mod skills.
My service wasn't the best at first but after I flashed UGKL1 radio my data speeds on HSPA+ went from 2mbs down up to 10mbs consistently.

Is there any way to increase data speeds on the GN on sprint? I have horrible speeds I'm in Miami and on CM9 nighty here is a screenshot.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes, there is: use the phone in the early morning or late at night.

When did you start your contract and if you keep pushing it you can but is a lot calls for it to get you out free in the other hand the price of the GN should be enough to get out of ETF( that's what I did)

i just renewed last month. dam so sell the phone for 300 and that should pay the eft fee.
As has been posted here and all over the web several thousand times, Sprint's 3G data speeds are terrible pretty much nationwide. They have a few markets that are ok, but many aren't

I would do that as well. But I have three phones on one account and that means buying all new phones and 2gnexs and an epic 4g won't pay for new phones and contracts. Unfortunately I'll have to deal with it. Until LTE hits me. At least I hope it does.

when you sell your sprint phones when they cancel your service it will more than cover your new phones. You would actually come out ahead a little.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
this is precisely why i'm leaving Sprint and going to T-Mobile. the 4G Wimax is fast (5000kbps) but none of the newer Sprint phones are using Wimax anymore and Sprint's 3G is crawling at <500kbps. Can't wait to activate my nexus on T-Mobile when my SIM comes in!

The only problem I had with it was on the unlimited everything plan for $50, they booted me when they found out I wasn't using a dumb phone but that was after trying to download a ROM haha. Switching to another European phone put data right back on.

Emailed as well. I provided my paypal email that I bought the app with too. He might be more inclined to update it if he knows we all paid for it.
Do a search on prl write. You can still force roam by renaming a 002.prl to test.prl on your internal drive to get on the Verizon network. No root required.

I thought that we can only roam on Verizon at 1G speed? Can we roam at 3G speed? If so I would love to get on that!
Yes, everything but 4G. I've been roaming on Verizon 2G/3G for years

Hey Jocelyn, so Roam Control allows you to jump back and forth between the Sprint PRL and the Verizon PRL without a problem? That sounds pretty awesome! Right now this app isn't compatible with our phone though right?
No, I'm always on Verizon and don't use roam control. You'd have to update prl and reboot to go back to Sprint.

Can you point me in the right direction to get on the 0002 PRL like yourself? I never messed around with the PRL before
Disregard...I see you provided the link above.
Go to the E4GT thread I linked above > download 00002.zip > extract it > rename 00002.prl to test.prl > place test.prl on the root of your internal storage > open phone app ##3282# > View > PRL Write > PRL Write
Your phone will reboot, you'll probably have a better signal lol, and you can confirm it worked by looking at the PRO in Status under About Device under settings.
If you want it back the way you had it, just update the PRL under system update.

No. But it's a good speed.
You can check by going into settings, about phone, status and see what network type says.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Example
Correct. Not LTE, but fair speed for H+, arguably slightly faster than the typical 3G. You're getting the speed I used to get when I was on my SGSII (non-skyrocket) until I upgraded to the SGN2 with LTE here in San Diego.
Thanks. Its says im running LTE:14. So I guess the question now is why am I not getting lte speeds!?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Just ran another test, slightly faster speeds but you can see in the status bar it says 4g instead of h+.
Im running jellythunder perfect storm..which I thought h+ meant lte.
Ideas?

Ok. Than u are getting LTE. The rom u have just isn't showing show in your status bar.
Did u flash an international theme or something that may have caused this?

4G=LTE
H, H+ = HSPA (3.5G)
3G = UMTS
This means that when you are in LTE you won't see the LTE symbol but instead 4G.
Depending on the rom u are using of course. In order verify that your ROM is actually using LTE go System Settings --> About Device --> Status. Look under Mobile Network Type.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I am in a lte area and my status bar now says 4g which means lte. What are normal lte speeds? My last post was the speed test on the lte...that normal?

LTE = faux G as far as I am concerned.
AT&T is still on 3G .. its just 3G+. According to what I have read, LTE (and WiMax) was originally a "transitional technology." Then it was upped to 4G and HSPA+ is now a a transitional tech. Then some1 dumped a lot of money into an offshore account and transitional tech is 4G.
Cue the nerd rage at this point.
LTE Advanced (as well as WiMax v2 or whatever they were going to call it.) are 4G. These are some way away. With big V saying LTE deployment going into 2015, one could guess we won't see "pure" 4G until almost 2020.
Edit: LTE is 100Mb/s down AND up. LTE adv is basically gigabit. As far as the original spec, 4G = gigabit. So .. we aren't quite there yet.

Well, the symbol at the top left says H+. So, no that not LTE, if it where it would say 4G.
But if its an international port than it says 4g, jedi states so in first post

haha .. nothing like downloading (theoretically) a DVD iso in under a minute.
I'd rather have the lower ping time and the lower bandwidth connection than the higher ping time and larger bandwidth connection.
The fact that your ping is so low makes me believe that you might be on LTE. But it could be an excellent 3G connection or whatever ATT likes to call it to make themselves feel superior. I've seen speeds that low however for LTE when the signal isn't very strong.
Is there any way to enable this on the Galaxy S3, or is it even faster? I just want my data speeds faster. Thanks in advance for any help. I live in the Orlando, Fl area.

This has been discussed at length, you will NOT get LTE, unless you have the LTE Variant, SGH-T999L.
Read the first few posts of the modem thread for possible ways to increase data speeds.
