Hey guys, quick question. I know it probably isnt going to be solved, or cant be solved, but
i just threw 00001 prl on my evo lte, and everything works great except, MMS. I was wondering if anyone knew any work around to get mms working while on the 00001 prl?

I've never heard this PRL before. Mind giving me a link to it? Sorry I can't do any help, but suggest going on a newer PRL .

That's about right for Sprint 3G. It's within the 3G range for Sprint, anyway.
After removing the proxies I went from like 500kbps to 1.3mbps in my house...1-2 bars...sometimes 3....
Today I was in an area that was previously almost a deadzone, no bars but no roaming.....I got 1.5mbps-2.1mbps!??? It was phenomenal. The 4G in that area only netted my like 7mbps, even though 4g in my area (which I cannot get in my house) I've gotten up to 18mbps before.
Call sprint, report deadzones. If nobody tells them they won't do anything.

3G service when I had my Lotus and Moment were actually impressive for a mobile device...I was surprised.
3G Service the day I got my Evo4G was VERY impressive....and it just declined steadily from there. For a while I thought it was me screwing with the phone too much....but 2 and 2, etc....
The 3G speeds I get on my Evo3D are right in line with the Evo4G and the steady decline in service in my area (probably proportionate to some of the (now) 500,000 android activiations every effing day)....but the radio is like 1-1.5 bars lower than my Evo would average....which sucks. Performance isn't affected unless it's a fringe situation, like the bathroom at work...which sucks, I like to read CNN when I poop, but I digress.
I expect radio updates will help a lot, but, I ain't touchin' any of that until we have some action out of HTC or failing that one of our brilliant devs does what they are bound to do anyway...
...I've gotta admit, I've been F5ing the living fnck out of the two root threads in development and they are fascinating and at times exciting....I recommend it, it's better than the drunken 6-year-old mob mentality that has tended to coalesce in General lately--I haven't even bothered with Q&A....
Man I never thought I'd see the day where I'd salivate over 322 kbps.
If only Verizon would release better phones...

So flash a verizon PRL and watch your usage....once you hit 300mb put back the sprint PRL...it's like you are throttling yourself, lol.
Seriously, if Verizon is that much better where you are do it....where I am Verizon has a stronger signal but they also have MANY MANY MANY times more customers than Sprint, so, their network is way oversold and over utilized....Sprint not so much....so Sprint has weaker signals and faster speeds on average.
In terms of voice, Sprint is the clear winner where I am but for some reason Data is just the worst.
How would I go about flashing a Verizon PRL? I have the PRL file but I'm unsure of how to actually flash it.
Did you try calling Sprint and getting them to reprovision your phone?

My mistake for saying 'flashing', force of habit...
First thing you have to do is get your MSL, you can either call Sprint and ask for it or use the popular method (with CDMA workshop) that's currently around the top of the Dev section... I usually just called for it, but, for geekliness I had to rip it out myself and it was an effin' snap to do, so, just follow those directions to get it...
....then there is a thread floating around here (and/or the Evo4g forum) with a number of Verizon and Verizon/Altell hybrid PRL's.....download a couple...31337 is good I hear
then you punch in some ## codes, load the PRL file, reboot and ***POOF***, you are on verizon--still consuming roaming data and voice--but you aren't limited to 1x....
EDIT: Don't forget to hit "menu:commit changes" to reboot--or you won't make any changes.

Hmm thanks. I already have the MSL, but I don't see anything in the ##3282# to load in a new PRL. Is that the right code?
EDIT:
OK whoa whoa! I got a nice 300 kbps just now. I changed a setting in that menu regarding EVDO. Changed it from CDMA only to Automatic. Lemme revert and see what happens.

I used to live in the Des Moines area of Iowa and the 3G was awesome...moved to Chicago and noticed its about dial up...don't know how you guys got/get by on just 3G. The EVO never went off 4G...
What's really sad is I could do speed tests on 3G in IA that are only slightly slower than my 4G tests here.
Rooted user with original rom
Prl was 21081 and no real mods to speak of...all of a sudden my 3G would not sync with exchange and then no regular pushes would work either.
I had to switch to 4g which is really weak in my area but it then started working again.
Went to an area without 4g yesterday and was without email for 4 hours.
That really sucked! Went to the 11115 pro and 3G is working again.
I had to also revert back to the old epst to get that working as well.
I read where others had similar issues but they had either changed roms or did a prl update from 21081 to a newer version.
I did none of those...it just stopped working and this was my fix for now!
I'm pretty sure 11115 is much better than the newer PRL's. Sprint is screwing up with the PRL's instead of making things better. I would stick with that.
I just got off the phone with CS. Same **** happened to me. Now I'm stuck with the damn roaming icon plus 1x
1X
I'm in the same boat. Stuck on 1X as of yesterday evening. Called CS yesterday and they wasn't able to help. They claim my area was fine. I will be giving them another call today when I get off. The 3G on my OG Evo and ny Nexus 4G works fine.
PS I also tried different PRLs even the hybrid PRL still 1X stuck.

I Allways use the custom 00001 prl when at school during the day due to the school haveing thick walls and when I get home my prl magicly changes to 21083 I do NOT have that .prl anywhere on my phone so I am curious... Can they change my prl without me knowing? (The only Way I notice is because at my computer I usually roam when im on the sprint 21081.prl and I see me roaming)

I could be wrong but I think that out phones auto updates prl?
If you've been into a service center recently I've heard that sprints made a policy that there tech's have to run all the phones on some new system they have which updates the phones PRL (and who knows what else) supposedly to cut down on roaming costs for Sprint.

I'm still on prl 11115 so they didn't change mine yet. Maybe they are only looking for forced roam prl's.

yeah its not the first time this has happened to me and it seems to be only when i get home and use my airave...
Simple answer is yes. They magically change your PRL.
Complex answer is that based on your account type (corporate, individual, prepaid, etc.), geographical location, etc, they do a 'push' to send out updated PRL's in order to give you what they think is the best service (note that I said 'what they think is the best service' and not actually the best for each individual person). Also, when you take your phone in to have it serviced, yeah they update your software and PRL to make sure that everything is functioning properly.
If you find that it doesn't work for you, then just change it (QPST, or whatever method you prefer). It shouldn't get changed until they initiate another 'push' or gets manually updated (initiated by you or serviced by Sprint).
Are the 11115 and 00001 PRL's still up anywhere? I've lost mine and it seems all of the d/l links from all the various threads here no longer work.

They definitely still work, all four of them.
I am wondering if there is a prl to flash for the evo 3d, sprint network is terrible arround here, I am currently using the verizon prl, although better, not as good as US Cellular in my area, expecially at work.
Thanks in advance

No I don't think anyone has made one of those. Is us cellular a cdma network? Have you tried the 1337, or 3137(can't remember if this is correct but it does start with a3). Or maybe even that sprint business PRL 1115 I think it is.
The Sprint business PRL (11115) only allows for roaming on Verizon I believe. I don't believe they have any roaming agreement with US Cellular, unfortunately.
I tried the 115000 and it didn't work as well as the 00001

I checked into it, and one of sprints reciprocal roaming agreements is with us cellular. However the agreement is only for voice and 1xrtt, but no 3G. We could find out all the roaming agreements if someone put their sprint PRL into one of the PRL decoders floating around out there.

Yeah, that would make sense. 01 is a custom PRL, and its targets are to force roaming on to Verizon towers. 15 is a PRL encoded by sprint for business customers. Its main target is sprint towers, but directs the antenna to Verizon towers, and all the other company's that sprint has roaming agreements for. It only does the roaming though if it can't find a sprint tower. Also with 15 it will settle for roaming towers that only have 1xrtt, as opposed to the custom PRLs that aim for Verizon 3G towers whenever possible.
Try out the other 2 PRL
there is 01337 and 31337 PRLs. I have yet to test the 31337 but 01337 works well. 00001 targets Verizon towers by default before Sprint, and if that one doesnt help you much I dont think 01337 will either as it is just a modified 00001. 11115 Wont help either as you still have some Sprint service so it still defaults to that network.
Here are 3 US Cellular PRL files for you to try:

First off, it is too dangerous to use any of these unless you have a plan with unlimited roaming. However even so sprint has gotten very sneaky. They have advertised unlimited roaming, but just like their unlimited data if you do too much [voice or data roaming], or a majority of your usage is roaming [even if you barely use any] your contract states in fine print that they can terminate service. Now so long as you aren't tethering a ton, or using lots of data they don't seem to mind, but if you do they send you a warning, if it persists they terminate you. You should not get charged ever with the plan you have, and you shouldn't get terminated unless you hog data. Hogging data on sprint is bad enough but hogging data on Verizon via roaming is very wrong. They won't terminate you unless you are abusive, so I hope you have nothing to worry about.
Since Megaupload is down could you please repost the prls
Thanks
Check THIS thread. A guy here on XDA is testing all sorts of different PRL methods. Hope it helps!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have been searching for an EVDO US Cellular PRL for around a year now, and have never found one. I tried yours, and they work. How do you go about extracting them from a phone? I've never been able to figure that out. I really needed this since most of the places my Sprint phone roams in have little to none Verizon coverage, while there's perfect US Cellular 3G.

Well it depends on what brand of phone you have. The ultimate goal is get into diag mode and from there you can use QPST or DFS to pull the prl.

Sprint corporate PRLs have not helped me get better data speeds or better reception while on the sprint network. However, I do get better speeds and reception when I roam... When roaming I can roam on Verizon's 3G network.
I don't know the exact differences, but I know the corporate prl helped me with better reception in some areas. Can't say the same for network speed however. I assume it all depends on where you live.

Here you go chief
Corporate PRL's will not give you any better signal or speeds on Sprint's network. They will give you better signal and data speeds while roaming however.
Just a word of warning: Sprint can cancel you for using the wrong PRL apparently, so tread with caution.
