PRL Problems - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Ok so Im having problems with sprint at fhe moment. Im always roaming where I live now. I used to get great 4G but now im roaming. Sprint has no answer other than they are looking into it. Going on 3 weeks now. So my question is I'm trying to use a verizon prl but nothing seems to improve my signal for voice. How do I know the prl I'm using sticks and which one seems to be working best for you?

Hello do you read other threads that relate to PRL. Dont mean to be a **** bur there are pages and pages based upon this. It is 2000 PRL that causes this situation.
You can try to manually change it however it will auto override back to 2000.

I have read all the pages on it and I know how to change the prl. Im not having any luck with any prl I use. Im either barely getting a signal on roaming or no signal at all on either a Verizon prl or sprint. Thanks for your input though. Not very informative. I guess ill keep trying till I get one that works.

Okay if your changing them and did you verify if it stays on that new prl you just wrote. And whats your modem? Try different ones.

A few things you can try.
1. If you are on a touchwiz rom try doing a hands free activation. Bring up the dialer and type ##scrtn#. Let it do it's thing and see if your signal is better.
2. Try the 56015 prl. It's the one for me. Google "sprint prl xda" and you should find a thread by digiblur. It will have many prls.
3. Take it into a Sprint store and see if they can service it.
4. Keep complaining to Sprint, at some point you should get some credit back.

If Sprint decide to boot a line that is using too much roaming data what do they do with your phone? Do you either keep or do you have to turn it in to them? And do you have to pay the etf if they boot you because you roamed too much?

Being as your account is being terminated due to violating TOS... I'd presume that they'd brick your ESN. And as your contract is being terminated early, it isn't a stretch to presume you'd be charged etf as well.

I'm on 61008 the latest prl and ff18 modem and get good speeds. Just keep trying them out until you get the one you like. I tried a lot of different PRLs until I noticed it speeds didn't change a lot.

Isnt it SAD and Absurd that we need to resort to custom prl numbers and settngs ( anycut ) to get decent reception? what is sprint using for its network- a bunch of diodes and transistors in a can?

Sprint data speeds in Tampa, FL.

So for some reason im experiencing slow data speeds. Slow as in the page just wont load. And when it does its because it sat there for a like 45 seconds to 1 min. Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have any ideas or anything I can try to make sure it aint my phone and it's actually a network issue. TIA.

Careful with that PRL. I'm sure if you're using it, you know the risk of being kicked off sprint if abusing it? You should have about twice as much regular data as you do roaming, because that prl is ALL roaming.

Yeah I agree. The reason I say that is because one of the guys here has Metro and he's having really spotty connection as well all of a sudden.
The merger did go through, I got a letter from T-Mobile in the mail yesterday about the merger.

This is what I've heard that we are getting lte around here (sprint rep told me when my calls kept dropping) and I was driving down 287 by Bridgewater and had a spot of lte. Hopefully we can stop this. Its happens more and more each day that I'm feeling bad to text ppl. Its gotta be annoying to get the same text 5 times.

Think this is exactly what the problem is low signal and it continues to try sending the message over and over until it registers on sprints end that it's been sent/received... I've been sprint customer for ages and have had similar MMS issues when signal was funky, granted on different phones but still sprint... What's weird is in last 24 hours I've all of a sudden started getting 4g at my house and have started getting these weird problems MMS issues as well, multiple incoming and outgoing.. Wife picks on me... Lol, if we can get some logcats multiple users we might he able to start pinpointing these across the board issues
Yup I'm having same issue was just brought to my attention ..

Its a sprint problem and not just isolated for this phone. My wife's side of the family all have sprint and all different phones doing the same thing. My sister is even a sprint rep and chooses metro PCs for her service Lol.

Terrible service on unlocked 4.1.1

Phone is originally att and I unlocked it by flashing 4.1.1. I hardly ever get service in my work building. And service switches from e to 4g way to much. And I miss calls all.the time. Like ill have service but phone will not ring. What can I do to fix this. I love the phone but its impossible to use for original purpose
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
You sure you have signal service with any ATT phone at your work place?.
At my work place i had to switch to Plane mode because it was no to 1 bar service which can't make/receive any phone calls and it happened to all ATT coworkers phone.
Yes im on tmobile. But my nexus 4 would have excellent service here. Not really good data. But phone reception yes

Did you flash the AWS mod (I believe thats what its called). It should allow your phone to use another radio band used by tmobile.

You know you can upgrade your modem to see if your reception will improve? As it should with a newer modem release...
