I am in Eclectic Alabama and I am always roaming so that PRL suxxors. It was pushed to my phone also. Most of the towers around my house are VZM, so I just flashed back PRL 12119, running like a champ again.
Got it today down in gator country. Like usual, I knew for several days before because of crap data speeds and bad battery. HTC weather was showing my location as 5 at work. All that I have learned is those things happen for a few days and a new PRL shows up.
This PRL has seemed to make my location more accurate, in terms of the weather widgets and whatnot. Anyone else notice that?
Boostmobile updated their prl to 61008 Also. In just curious on what actually changed.
I'm on a custom ICS rom, how can I get my previous PRL back?
Flash back to a stock ROM and update,restore nandroid, profit.
when you say "stock" rom, v2.17?
Yes, something like MeanROM or CleanROM from the stock base. AFAIK, either gb or ics should work.
Well, flashed Meanrom's 2.17 rom, ##775# didn't work.
Can someone post the zip?

I switched back to my 2.3.3 stock back up trying to find a fix for poor data speeds . Did a prl update went from 20281( I think LOL) to 50580. The problem is the sprint zone diagnosis app shows 1xRTT and a new prl update to 60681 but it won't let me update to it. Here's screenies
I will upload the other in a sec... It won't let me upload the other screen shot
WARNING - WARNING -WARNING .. UPDATING TO THE LATEST PRL HAS LEFT ME AND OTHERS WITHOUT 3G STUCK WITH ONLY 1X DATA SPEEDS . SO UPDATE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DONT BLAME ME, BLAME SPRINT OR VERIZION OR THE NEW HBOOT I DONT CARE JUST DONT BLAME ME!!!

After seeing this post, I.updated my prl, and it too gave me the 50580....i.was on 21081 before updating...

Seems like mine got a little worse actually, but I'm not at my desk, so it could just be that I'm at a different location in my plant...il do I speed test when I get back to my desk
I know mine seems worse, I am in a area I know I get 3g. Since I did the prl update I am now on 1x in this area wtf??
I am not a data whore either, lol.

I tested using the speedtest app, which I just used the other day from the same location...after running multiple tests, it seems my 3g speeds actually dropped 100kb and I'm constantly showing 1x (was 3g before updating prl, and yes my theme shows 3g/1x properly)
They were 160kbs before the prl update, now, averaging 60-70...thanks for the notice of prl update op.... LOL

Can you get me the 21081 prl file?
I'm starting to think sprint is trying to make things worse, not better. The last two times I've taken a prl update it significantly showed my speed.
I've never had very fast speeds w sprint but the speeds have fine b from a crawl earlier this year of around 60 kb to around 600 kb or so. when I had pro 20800 I remember things were pretty decent. Then I took the 20801 update v and it slowed way down for Weeks. Now speeds on 20801 have been pretty decent and I see this thread of an update. So, I figure "I doubt it will slow me down again, right"....WRONG!
I ran two speedtests within a half hour of the update, so I have a baseline. One test was taken just before the update to try to keep the test consistent. I updated the prl and ran two new speedtests. The new speed is 1/10 the old speed. All other factors should be same. Sitting in same location on all tests. All performed within relatively short timespan. Only difference is prl version. See my screenshot..

Have to keep an eye on this thread. I'm getting a horrible signal lately but at least I'm getting 3g and not 1x (I have a truth telling rom also lol). Not to mention I'm at my Doctors office in Albany NY (the capital of NY) and have one bar.
I know everyone's on the edge of their seat worrying about me but its just a yearly physical. ***cough***
BABABOOEY!
i got the same update 50580 now i live out in the country and used to get almost no signal at my house now after the prl update im getting a constant 2 signal bars..data speeds on the other hand..it still moves like pond water

Ok, that makes me feel a little better because I've tried it a couple times and the second time I let go for about 30 mins with it being stuck on the "Contacting Network" message and nothing! But if it finally took after some tries for you, I'll keep trying!

Haha don't use sprint zone, its archaic and isn't properly updated, use the about phone tab to check software and carrier versions. But to answers your question, a PRL (Preferred Roaming List) update is carrier wide. When towers are updated or tweaked they roll out a PRL update, normally they do a couple towers and then roll out a update, or else there would be a new PRL update every day! Most PRL updates come from upgrades, like the transition from CDMA to CDMA LTE towers. Even though you prolly won't see much effect from the update in your area, if you ever traveled to a 4g area without the update your phone wouldn't work efficiently, so everyone gets the update. PRL updates also come from tower performance tweaks aswell.

Thanks for the heads up about Sprint Zone and the info about PRL updates. I assumed it had something to do with the network but wasn't exactly sure. I've gotten messages from Sprint recently talking about "A new Network is coming" so that would make sense and I know they've also done some tower upgrades in my area recently.
On another note, is anyone else having issues with doing a PRL update? It has still yet to work and continues to just hang on "Contacting Network" message. When it hangs on that message it totally renders my device useless and I have to power down (or pull the battery).

The messages about the new network are pertaining to Network Vision, sprint is merging all their technologies 3G/4GLTE/WiMax(where available) together into a more efficient spectrum and coverage overlap! Its actually quite an impressive system! At least the PowerPoint was lol, hoping that they deliver what they promise!

I hope they deliver too because it sounds promising. I can't complain too much tho, I get fairly good service most everywhere I go in my area. 4G (WiMax) is pretty limited but I get it where I work and surrounding areas.
Still have yet to have any luck as far as a PRL update goes tho. Oh we'll I guess, I'll try every now and then and if it happens it happens...

No, I'm pretty sure you have to flash stock to update, then flash back to whatever custom ROM you're using.
Easiest way is to have a nandroid of stock, take a nandroid of what you're using, flash the stock, update via "about phone," then restore your custom nandroid.

Why not try the new PRL before rolling it back?
Its not like a software update. Its not going to hurt your phone or prevent you from root/s-off. Sometimes a PRL upgrade can be a good thing.

See the other PRL thread for more details, but the short version is that I'm seeing the best speeds on the PRL my phone was shipped with. (PRL 24003). I've tried all of the PRL versions I've seen come through on the phone and tested each one.

Corporate ones give better data speed on roaming is why I am wondering.

Mine tanked pretty hard on 25004, down to like 14kbps from 700-800 downloads, my upload hasn't really changed.
I've been having issues all day with sms and mms, also been dropping to 1x and so I looked and my PRL is 25002..

If I see anything about the changelog I'll update the thread
I haven't got it yet here in Louisiana, but the past couple of days I have gotten all the "warning signs"-bad battery & signal @ work, dropping to 1X, etc so I know it will be soon.

I've noticed on mine that I could have a strong roaming signal on Verizon, but if the phone even catches a whiff of a Sprint signal, it tries to switch to Sprint and data is lost. When it's doing that, roam only fixes it as you've noticed.

Well if his phone roams fine in roam only mode, then the prl is fine.
What's likely happening is what Coal said. If your phone is on automatic, it tries it's hardest to stay on sprint at all times. Even if the signal is very very low, it will try to stay on it at all costs. Of course, we all know that's not how it should be, as that just kills the battery. I don't know if this is a rom issue or just a phone issue. You could try flashing back to a GB rom and see if it's any better.

It may be trying to stay on sprint but I literally was out of the sprint network for 3 hours and had no service, none. So I am leaning towards a ROM glitch or maybe radio but I dont know much about the radio part.

Maybe is is Android 4.0+ or the new firmware because I used to travel through a bad spot on the way to work and woudl roam, for a while now I just loose signal now even though I am on automatic.
