I've used CDMA Workshop to update my PRL using all the different PRLs posted on this site, from 00001 - 56xxx. I seemed to get the best results with 11119 last billing cycle. I roamed over 31GB but no letter from Sprint. So I was going to continue to take advantage of the speeds until they warn me.
However, when I tried yesterday, I get very slow speeds with all the PRLs and my Sprint data usage page always shows Sprint 3g & Sprint 4g numbers increasing, but not Sprint 3g roaming usage. What's weird is the phone NEVER connects to LTE service so how is my 4g usage amount increasing? I know some of the PRLs listed would not show the roaming indicator although I was indeed roaming. But the Sprint usage page only shows Sprint usage increasing.
Anyways, when I flash 11119 or any other PRL from the XDA site, do I also need to set the Roam Only option in Settings -> Mobile Data -> Roaming (MeanBean ROM & I'm not opposed to switching ROMs if that's the issue)? My current Sprint PRL via Update PRL is 24012. Should I just keep the Sprint PRL and set the Roam Only option for Mobile Data? I tried it briefly and it switches my connection to 1x. Will 1x still count as 3G roaming? It's slow as heck so I can't imagine 1x data usage pushing my usage numbers up very high.
Only my 2nd post so forgive me if I posted in the wrong area, asked stupid questions, etc. Blast me and I'll get it all right the next time ... I promise!!
Need to flash an alternate prl and go to roam only mode. Orelse you'll still be on sprint towers.

This has worked beautifully!! Over 100GB so far and the 3g speed is bearable. Still no letters from Sprint so maybe my account gets a pass.

Mayb cause sprint is cheaper? Cept tmo i suppose
Technically Sprint CAN charge .25$ per megabyte over 300mb usage of off-network roaming, by the way That would be quite the bill you'd have there. Sprint is tricky and unpredictable in most cases. I'd be careful. Just my .25$. Lol.

There may be a provision that Sprint *can* charge you extra for roaming, but I've never heard of it actually happening to anyone in practice. It seems to be standard procedure that they just drop you after a certain amount of time of excessive roaming, and they give you advance notice that you're being dropped. I've actually seen a copy of the letter they send. In my personal experience, I've never been charged extra for roaming despite routinely going over their 300mb cap.

Hello. I've seen it mentioned, and wouldn't have believed it if I didn't experience it. FYI, this isn't a *****ing thread, I am just curios WHY 3G speeds on the 3VO are so much slower than what I had from the OG Evo. Is this something that will, or even CAN be addressed by a radio update?
Thanks for the input!
From my personal experience, in the same location I have gone from speeds of 300kbps to a meg a second, down to >100kbps with a top of 300kbps. I tried the "Increase 3G speed trick," and still in the same speed range.
UPDATE: I had Sprint reprovision my device, and was told to do a battery pull, turn on and let the system settle, and voila. Still pulling 300kpbs tho.
If anything, this can be fixed through a radio update. Just give it time. I know it is unfortunate. Have you bothered with the MSL tweak that is in the development section?

My 3G speeds are a little bit faster, but they still suck. Where I live, my speeds are abysmal. This applies with any Sprint phone. I remember when my speeds rocked, but that was at the beginning of the release of the Evo 4G. It just degraded throughout time.

I thought it was just my 3D at first, but now I see that every sprint phone my family has have been extremely slow. My sister called me yesterday asking how to turn on the 3g on her Samsung, but sadly it was already on. Sprint can't keep up with all the new subscribers.
3G on Sprint compared to Verizon sucks. I called sprint and told them about it. I suggest that others do the same. I'd didn't ***** at them I just told them I have a Xoom and a EVO3D and the Xoom 3G absolutely blows away Sprint. I told them its embarrassment. Unlimited data? Ya at 56k they can give you all the unlimited data they want.
Mine have increased from OG EVO to this without the msl trick. Weird.
Edit: update on speeds. Tested three times, all above 1.40 mbps. Never got that on og evo.
Sent from my Shooter.
Funny thing, I just saw sprint's new commercial about unlimited data. They rank on verizon and att for their tiered data, then they rank on tmobile for thier throttling data after 5gb, and they finally they say how fast their data is! I laughed my ass off. I bet tmobile's throttled data is faster that my 3G data with full bars. I'm not in a 4G area so I can't comment on that, I'm sure it's fast but sprint's 3G data in my area is super slow during peak hours. I average 100kbs peak, about 700kbs to 1mb super early in the morning or super late in the evening. Basically without a wifi connection its unusable during peak hours.
no difference between the evo and 3d for me same old 56k **** speeds.

Thats what I told the lady from sprint was that if you don't have a WiFi connection then data was pretty much useless. What got me was I have all my music on the Google cloud. So I sync my Xooms bluetooth with my car. On the way to work it played perfect never skipped and I could change tracks without issue. So I thought well let me try it with my EVO. Well what a disaster it wouldn't play a single track let alone change tracks. Completely worthless without WiFi.
Odd that some see no difference, and some better and some worse... I put the OG Evo back on to make sure, and I'm getting approximately 3 times the network speed.
Does anyone know why this could be? I see fewer bars... But I didn't think to play with open signal maps. Might have to tinker with that when I get off.

For the ones that have good data on OG EVO, but not on the 3D, a reprovision of the phone should help you out. If you have bad speeds on both devices then reprovisioning won't do anything as you're probably in a bad reception area.
Just left tmobile for sprint and I can definitely say my throttled data was faster than sprints 3G.
It's beyond annoying. I live in Orlando, and somehow I find myself constantly roaming in high tourism areas. Actually, I'm roaming the minute I go into my bedroom.

Mine just picked up speed today! The sprint store tech did a speedtest and it was in the 100kb range. He reprovisioned the phone to reactivate on the network nd my speeds are now as good or better than original evo 500kb average. I dont think a radio update would do much good. Sprint needs to hop on the Rev B evdo or start rolling out those dual 3g/4g towers sooner than expected! They are dropping all these hot phones w/out expanding the network. Starting to sound like att.

As in will your phone blowup? Nope...but you will probably get your contract terminated for roaming.
Its fine to use as long as you don't go crazy with the roaming. I use 11115 all the time but when I'm in a bad reception area I will force roam. You just have to manage your usage.
I did it for a long time no issues at all. Had no service at home

It is 300MB a month or a percentage of total data.
From their TOS:
Sprint reserves the right, without notice, to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if off-network usage in a month exceeds: (1) voice: 800 min. or a majority of minutes; or (2) data: 300 megabytes or a majority of kilobytes.
Maybe try this thread, there is a different prl in there that utilizes a second band. Might bump you up enough to not need to force roam. Worth a shot anyway I just switched to it today and speeds and signal seem much better so far.

The benefit is that, it allows you to roam on Verizon and use 3G data while roaming. A standard Sprint PRL will let you roam but only use 1x data while roaming.
The downside is that if you use too much data (some say over 300MB) while roaming each month, Sprint will cancel your service.

They actually sent me a letter and I'm, again, very unsure if how to proceed. You see, I have had every iteration of the "evo" moniker with sprint. I've always had stellar service inside my house and out into my neighborhood going back to my og EVO on wimax and even further to my mogul... The reason I feel like I got punched in the gut...? I haven't freaking moved! So, to review, 6 years in the same spot with relatively great service -get the 4g lte -2 months later im sent a warning letter explaining basically I better stop roaming or I will be dropped as a customer (of 11 years btw). Best part: (wait for it)...Live in gf has an S3 (sprint) And hasn't roamed and sits on LTE all day... It's times like these I feel like I have to be part of a f*/??g twighlight zone episode.

Well I guess I'm next. Me & almost everybody in my area. Sprint's service has been horrible these last couple weeks. I roam over half the time. Can't tell you how many dropped calls or unable to make calls or how many unable to send messages or the double, triple sometimes 6 or 7 duplicate messages I get when I finally do get service. I know this area is due to get LTE soon but something has to give. And all I get from Sprint is "We aren't seeing any outages in your area" instead of just saying we're working on the towers. Kinda wish they would kick me off. Might be time to change up.

Same here. Service is manageable at home. But 7 miles away here at work I'm roaming. Sucks since I'm in a metro area but I dunno what to do anymore. One tech says one thing; other tech says another.

This happened to me for over 3 weeks and I had made several calls to CS but to no avail. I was just about to head into the sprint store and demand an s3 or no ETF when I canceled my contract. After my final call, just before I was headed to my car I noticed that I had 4g lte.
