My evo gets horrible and i mean horrible data speeds consistently 300kb or less on both upload and download.
I know it's a common problem. And i figured it was like when the first evo came out that it would fix itself. but it hasn't I have done prl updates and all but still no improvement. should i return it and just get a replacement in a couple days or should I try sprint trouble shooting. I never had speeds this bad with me OG evo, and my wife's epic is fine also....
Any recommendations? I would prefer not to mess with the phone, and i just want it to work outa the box.

You can edit it if you'd like. Just select to edit your first post, and you should be able to scroll all the way up and change it.
EDIT: Also, I don't have a good suggestion to your problem if you don't really want to mess around with it. Did you already try the known 'fixes' for that issue? Perhaps try calling Sprint and see if they can do a reset on your data profile or something to that nature. I know you said you don't want to mess with it, and you'd prefer if it worked out of the box, so perhaps calling Sprint is the best bet if you're not feeling like messing around with it.
Had the same problem with my evo, went to a sprint store, the rep that helped me had the same phone that he said he got weeks before the official release, when we tried to do a speed test his was around 300 (the 3g g in this area is really bad) while mine was 30-50, at the same place same time. so he sent it back to the techs, they said everything was fine, so he just exchanged it for me (30 days exchange), no restocking fee or any of these sort of things. so I recommend you exchanging the phone (unless you are not in the 30 days) then i would send it through warranty.
good luck
Thanks today is my last day though i ordered it online so I can't into a store.
I'm ginna try the fixes. And then I'm gonna tryba verizon prl like I had on my evo. Though I lose txt message accuracy if I do tyat....
Thanks for the suggestions.

Go there and tell them about the horrible data speeds and ask for a data reset. they will re provision your account and that should help...doing the proxy removal hack might help too...did for me...

Also try the prl hack to gain 3g roaming access on Verizon's towers. You'll need qpst and your msl.

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!!!
sent from my ps3
After seeing this post, I.updated my prl, and it too gave me the 50580....i.was on 21081 before updating...
can someone post that .prl?
I updated mine and it stayed the same at 21081.
So how is your data now? How many bars before and now with prl.

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.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
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

I'm seeing the same thing. Haven't seen 3G since the update...Luckily I have 4G and/or WiFi everywhere I go so it won't be a big deal until the next update.

Same here, just updated (50580) and now stuck on 1X
Can someone post that new prl so I can update manually?
Is this a attack on root users? I wouldn't put it past them?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Why don't you guys manually overwrite the prl? If you running a custom ROM you can easily do so. the NOW network is becoming so horrible... It sooner or later will be the SLOW network bahaha.

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
I just rolled back to PRL 21081, then updated profile and I got my 3G back.
I attached the PRL if anyone needs it.
I live in Decatur Al. I updated mine about 2 minutes ago.
mine updated too
LOLMG me 2...anyone have a change log?
haha. yeah right. a change log? hahaha. however, now I think about it.... I think there is a website that posts that????
updated here as well.
Service update was pushed to my phone about an hour ago now on PRL 21089 also.

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?

My prl is 21081 and I even manually updated it. Strange
My phone just automatically updated the prl when I opened the xda app even after I cancelled the update. My prl is now 24004
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Mine just did it too
Rolling it back to see if it does it again (hope not).
Yep, same here.
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.
I'm in la area I'm wondering if this could be because of LTE?

I got the update too, but I'm now on 25004.

Same here. DC area. I haven't yet had a chance to check to see if it affected speeds, one way or the other.
I've got 25004. Got almost double 3g speeds than shipped. Though it may be different for each user.

The PRL is for CDMA, not LTE.

Those of you on the 24004 prl, are your phones corporate or personal lines?
Also can anyone post the 24004 prl please? I can only find 25004
Thanks!
Mine says 25004. Haven't had any updates.
Sent from my EVO LTE using xda premium
25004 is a latest one but so is 24004.
I thought I saw one person in another thread say 24004 is corporate ver of the 25005 but need more people to confirm that based on they account and what they have.
Corporate ones give better data speed on roaming is why I am wondering.
25004 here on a personal line as well.
I'm almost positive I've been on 25004 for awhile. I don't remember seeing or doing a prl update.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
For what it's worth, I am also on 25004 and I do not remember the phone updating on its own. I had been thinking my speeds seemed a lot better lately. I ran speed test and sure enough, it's somewhat better

MIne changed the other night to the 25004 and now i hardly get a data connection to top off my already horrendous 1 bar/roaming all the time crap signal at home
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..
Did a prl update and I'm back to 25004.. really weird. Only thing ive done is last night I ran the mod to remove the HTC disclaimer on boot up screen.

3G speeds Chicago. Took only prl update NOT software update and am experiencing actual USABLE 3G speeds!,very exciting stuff just hit 2.1 mgbs down on speedtest. Net app. PRevious best prob around 1.5 but that was off peak. Anyone else in chi or burbs seeing same?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Actually yes. I'm in the southwestern burbs.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
ive noticed this also
I'm in chicago over by elston and lawrence, and my speed tests just got me 500kbps down, 60kbps up. This is pathetic 3g coverage, and its with full bars and its almost 11pm at night.
I'm 20 miles west of clevland and speeds here seemed to be a lot better here also.. will check when im downtown tomorrow
I think this has less to do with PRL updates and more to do with NV. I experienced this same thing earlier this week. The increased speeds have gone since then. I also took the new PRL but am getting the speeds I normally get. I am getting increased upload speeds with the new radio, however.

im out of town in vegas at the moment and doesn't matter how many updates you get your gonna get pounded (screwed) when it comes to 3g when on the strip so when im back in lemont (little south west of chicago) ill do some tests. i averaged 1.1mbps at my house and crap everywhere else so hopefully this update fixes everywhere else thats not my house haha
I live in Plainfield and have absolutely horrible 3G. (just started a new 2year about 5 days ago) but to my understanding theyre implementing 4g LTE int othe towers and upgrading the 3g network aswell.
No wonder sprint has unlimited data, their network is crap.

I hear you and that is completely true now. Ironically two years ago on my og EVo at the M. Bay events center( I was at a conference with a workgroup) I was the ONLY one of us to get great download speeds (or even a stable connection actually -Nada on vzn, tmo, att). Now, I maybe it was tower placement, but Compare that to what you are experiencing now, but and I experienced while there in May. W.T. F. H a p p e n e d I just don't get it?

Hey I do too, how's it going neighbor?
I have decent 3g, as shown above, at least since the PRL update. Haven't done the OTA yet. I'm near downtown Plainfield though, close to where the YWCA is (and that middle school) by Wallin. Are you on the southern side?

Hey neighbor! Im by catonfarm and countyline road. Close to Plainfield South High School.
I have noticed better speeds and connectivity since the PRL update.
im still nervous about doing the other update
Anyone in the Northwest Suburbs experiencing issues with service? I can make calls, but only receive calls when I'm talking on the phone already. I'm also having problems receiving text messages. I will get them about 45 minutes late. Was wondering if it was my phone or an EVO issue. I didn't have any problems with my original EVO.
Also, tried to update prl, profile, the works.

Oh you're over by that CVS there... I'm actually heading there in a minute, haha. I haven't S-off'd my phone, due to the risk of soft-brick, and now it looks like I have to for the OTA, which is irritating. I'll admit, I'm nervous about this too. I just want kernel source to allow devs to get CM9 or AOKP going so I don't have to worry about any of this business.

I have the same issue, and can even reproduce the behavior by calling my phone from my wife's. 9 out of 10 times it misses the call at my house. Strangely enough, if I toggle GPS on, I consistnently get 8 out of 10 calls... that's without an active lock too. Very strange to say the least.
I've noticed huge improvements! When I'm at the gym tomorrow I'm going to try facebook out cause whenever I tried before it would take forever to load. I just can't wait for lte to go live for us in the suburbs.
