Not showing up here and updating your PRL and getting better 3G and or lower 3G speeds is mostly a placebo effect.

Can you read? I said mostly... also on Sprint with official PRL's you cannot roam with 3G speeds, only 1x speeds which suck. PRL updates you may see better coverage but that is it, you still will not get better 3G speeds. If you think so you are drinking some awesome cool aid!
do you think this prl would enable 1x-advanced?

The only way we would have 1x advanced enabled is from a radio firmware upgrade.

God I remember what happened last time I updated my PRL. Was stuck in 1XRTT for a week. Was very gay, I'll give it a try see what happens... No way sprint would screw it up again would they? lol
Update: PRL 21083 live here in Minneapolis. Hey they didn't jack the 3G this time.

I get full wimax signal at my house still mixed results there. I never use it here since I have wi-fi. Ran a few tests just for kicks anywhere from 2 on the low end to 6+ on the high. When it first came here use to pull 10+ everytime.
God I can't wait for wimax to go, funny there is an ad in speedtest for verizon that says want an LTE network? Yes I do. Sprints 3G is good when it actually works, it use to be the best around not so much anymore. I would be way ok with CONSISTENT speeds of 1,000+ I just want enough to run rhapsody and pandora. EVDO rev B would be a nice upgrade, I hope we see it sometime along with LTE.
I would say haven't noticed any faster speeds at home, but hopefully when I'm out and about it is a little more consistent.

No matter how many times you tell people this, it never registers. The placebo effect is far more powerful than logic.
I personally wasnt expecting better 3G speeds but one can hope . I spent the past week roaming in Verizon's territory (Yes I used the PRL hack for verizon towers since I was in a verizon zone anyways) OMG delicious download speeds (still drooling)

I will say I noticed a jump in mine also. I switched back to a sense rom. Just to get 4g to tether at work. After a day I missed my cm and said eff it I'm going back to cm. When I went back and tethered, I noticed it was a huge difference. Was around 300kbs, now I'm around 1.4 mbs here in Jax.

maybe they actually are going to improve the network before the iphone. Who knows, maybe the iphone will help things since they use less data than android phones. (because of less bg updates)

same here except i dont even have 3g around my house anymore. been on 1x since wednesday yet sprint continues to say theres nothing wrong with the towers in my area and that its my phones. sorry sprint but i dont believe all 3 of my phones and tablet just suddenly crapped out on the same day to use only 1x and only in the areas around my house. 2 miles down the road there back on 3g.
I knew I wasn't going crazy!! Same here!!
I was pulling 50-150kbps usually and I noticed my 3G data was going in and out like mad so I talked to the dudes at Best Buy and they said they'd been having issues with their Sprint phones and activating them. Turns out they found out that Sprint's been messing with the towers in my area and have been working on getting 4G brought to my city, and now my data speeds are INSANE.
On 3G yesterday I pulled 960 kbps with Speedtest, and consistently pull 500-800kbps. Definitely kicking ass now.
Just did a speed test, this is absolute garbage. I am getting 88 kbps download. What the hell am I suppose to do with that? And how is this not grounds for getting out of your contract for free? I rather have a data cap but usable 3G speeds.
I've had better.. but this is the norm.
Speeds are getting better but when will sprint get a power house device like the amaze... I mean we do have the S3 processor but if this thing could record in 1080p with a 2mp ffc and 8mp rear camera all would be good. I don't understand why they don't aim to completely top the last device...

i have noticed a huge jump in 3G as well... out here in sacramento CA. i stay up pretty late, and the last few weeks at odd hours of the night my network speeds will just take a dive or cut out entirely for several hours. then it's right back in the morning.
i have also noticed i am getting 4g in more areas. i used to always have to turn my 4g antenna off while on my way to work because it would cut out... now i get solid reception on my way to work when on wimax.
my 3g speeds have always been pretty good though. and 4g as well
it is obvious to me they are expanding
I think after the past few months my service has gone downhill badly and I think I have finally decided to move on to Verizon where I will get what I pay for, I have been paying for premium data with sprint and the only way I get data is over wifi, and I'm done. Hope you guys don't wait too long before you make your decisions.

Does anyone know if AT&T still plans on enabling 64QAM on their HSPA+ network(if they haven't already)? Or have they decided to ditch evolved HSPA+ in favor of LTE?

They are still using 16QAM which effectively limits your speeds at 14.4mbps in theory. The latest I've heard is they will not be upgrading to 64QAM and they expect their users to fall back to 14.4mbps capable HSPA+
Totally sucks that T-Mobile users have been rocking 64QAM since last year.
Im nearing that 14.4 limit
This was using the HSPA+ from my ATT GS2 while tethered to my laptop

I can't stream netflix. No YouTube no Pandora. Forget even a steady enough connection to even successfully download a 90 mb ROM from my dropbox. I guess I could drive over 600 miles or so to some amazingly over rated 4G/wimax. T-mo gets consistant 2.5.to 3.5 mbs on the hspa+ network sitting 4 inches from my evo3d I value my time. Maybe when Verizon kills sprint off ill try some cdma again. But I am so sick of having a 4G phone with a sub 56k connection that was slow in 2000.

Im thinking about doing the same... Who cares about a 2gig limit if i can never get to it... I had tmobile when it was 5gig and the one time I did get throttled it was slow but not as slow as 12kbps like I get now with sprint... I've called dozens of times and they all say the same thing...
"No towers are showing any problems data wise... let's set up a eticket and have the device checked out..."
Go to the sprint service center... Guy looks at my phone and checks a few things out...
"No problems here"
I tell him to run a speed test (in a sprint store) and I pull 150kbps...
Now I have WiFi at home and have to use it to watch/stream anything... But why in the fack am I paying for "premium data"?

Just prior to me leaving for t mobile sprint upgraded my towers and we were getting like 1 Mb dl which was nice.however after a year and a half of speeds like yours I was already determined to leave. Good luck. Hope network vision improves things.

Ha. The guys at my local spring store used to joke and say "that's moving at sprint speed". Spring data speeds are horrible.
Just prior to me leaving for t mobile sprint upgraded my towers and we were getting like 1 Mb dl which was nice.however after a year and a half of speeds like yours I was already determined to leave. Good luck. Hope network vision improves things.

I just left TMobile and the speed difference is very evident. TMobile 2g is faster than sprint 3g i just hope it will get better soon our i will be forced to go with Verizon.

Try updating your PRL, and if that doesn't work you can try switching the network mode to CDMA only in the mobile network settings menu. If you're rooted you can also use MSL reader off the market to get your MSL, or call sprint and ask for it, then dial ##DATA# and change your EVDO mode to CDMA HDR only. If using MSL reader, for some reason it only works if you install, uninstall and reinstall again.
I got more consistent 1mbps speeds, up from 500~, in the san francisco area, I don't know if they're messing around with the towers over here, but there has been reports from people that these workarounds should force the phone to stop trying to flip between EVDO and LTE
You only did two tests? Try going to the setting and changing which server it is connecting to during the test.
I average 1Mbps-1.5Mbps usually.

i did over 50 test with same results i just did these two to confirm that factory ressetting it as a sprint rep told me does nothing but waste your time.
