I've looked around a bit for this info, but can't seem to find it. Is there any specific reason that my SID would be for the Kansas City market? Is this a default SID? I am in the Harrisburg market, and it looks like the SID should be different.
[EVO 4G General] Lorimere:
From Sprint Forums.

http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/66933?tstart=0

"Ok so looking into it, here are the changes in layman in the 60678/1115 update:

The 60678 PRL will remove 3G roaming coverage in FL, MI, OH, WV and WI for all Consumers. Business IL and CL customers however, will get PRL 1115 with continued 3G roaming service.

I don't know why, I don't have access to the information used to make this decision. I'm assuming the roaming agreements expired and the options were either remove roaming entirely for all customers in these areas, or limit the number of accounts that can roam there (making it be only business accounts that will roam on 3G in these areas).

If the account is setup as a Business Individual Liable or Business Corporate Liable account there will be EvDO roaming in these areas, if the Sprint account is a standard consumer account there will only be 1xRTT roaming. The Sprint.com coverage map will only show the 1xRTT coverage in these areas regardless. The Business accounts are receiving a custom PRL, not the standard national PRL all other devices receive.

so do all of us with 01115 have a corporate discount maybe? my line is personal but i have a citicorp discount? or am i better off just following the thread and not thinking lol

How can updating the PRL fix Sprint 3G speeds. Especially when a PRL would only affect the towers you ROAM on ??
[EVO 4G General] digiblur:
Ding ding ding... you are correct! 99% of the time, a PRL update will not have an affect on speeds at all. There are rare cases... but usually if someone provides the SID they are on, I can debunk their theory pretty quickly. For instance, one user provided his SID. I checked back to 60670, and the channels it scans for voice and 3G are still exactly the same.

It's not like Sprint goes in and adds some EV channels, then they have to update the PRL to scan for them. For the most part, the PRL already has the phones scanning for all the licensed channels when 3G was first rolled out to that area way back. Another case in point.. in one area they just received EVDO 3-4 months ago. You can look at a PRL over 3 years ago and it was telling the phone to scan for all of the licensed channels.
[EVO 4G General] digiblur:
What is your general location? and what SID/NID are you on?

Puerto Rico here updated 01115
[EVO 4G General] doh_tee:
People keep saying that PRL has no effect on speeds. Well when my speeds tripled above previous max, even temporarily, after a weird PRL update (01115), then you're calling ME a liar. I have never hit 2500 down I barely hit 1000 down. Until yesterday morning or whenever. I'm not a genius but it obviously did SOMETHING for some people. I'm just venting out of irritation for people basically calling us idiots for putting two and two together.

Get off your f***ing soapbox. Unless you design these towers or these phones or the standards used, then the fact is, that you don't know what effects things can have on phones. The people who made then don't know half the damn time.

All done now. Play nice.
[EVO 4G General] digiblur:
And your SID is?
[EVO 4G General] :
For those with faster speeds maybe you got a tower update of some kind. Or maybe you are just roaming natively. Or maybe with the cancellation of the deals people are no longer roaming on sprint's network and there for less congestion *leading to more bandwidth available for sprint users*
[EVO 4G General] steal25:
So it now makes sense to me why i got this (01115) because i have a business acct. and i guess the only upside to it is that when i roam i can roam in 3g.But i live in a major city and always have coverage so it really makes no difference!The only ones its gonna make a difference to are people who roam alot, i guess.
[EVO 4G General] lilflip21:
Ocean property in Minnesota 4sale.. :)

Lol the placebo effect is strong in many of you.. but in the end your location (specific tower) and network traffic are going to be about all that matters.. almost everything else can be random and figuring out which random factor caused yesterdays speed to be .3 mbs slower is useless.. nice to know this PRL isn't corrupt other than that I won't expect it to make ANY statistical difference but my phone could very well speed test faster today.. maybe slower again tomorrow... who knows...

Just my useless 2 cents.. but again thank you for the info that 01115/01117 isn't corrupt which is the real useful info in this thread :)
[EVO 4G General] :
Lol I live on the only real city stop between me and vegas so the towers get hit hard around here and there aren't many XD. So I don't complain much about the speeds but to the average person who doesn't know much about how everything works. All that matter to them is *hey THIS HAS TO BE giving me better speeds* just because of a update or something there of. Anyways Im off of this topic now :}
[EVO 4G General] M.Jauregui:
PRL update doesn't improve signal

Just wanted to let everyone know, i'm sure most of you already do, but all the PRL (Preferred Roaming List) does is tell your phone whos carrier towers to lock onto when roaming.

NOT for better signal!!!

but for cheaper roaming rates provided to Sprint by that carriers towers. So when ever theres a new roaming rate business deal or change thats when they release them.

I work for sprint and they just realease some new PRL's randomly over a couple of days and I can't remember of the top of my head but if you live in florida you won't be able to roam data anymore.

Sprints too cheap to pay for that.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Well I have the speed test results to prove it...I know prl does not affect connectivity but I have no other explanation
[EVO 4G General] Zoidpilot:
Im in FL... no roaming problems after the PRL update for me. Please don't tell a fib.

[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
dunno how much I'd take someones generic post on that forum or even this one at that. If your gonna make claims like they did you need some proof behined it to really be able to believe it is fact.

Unless I missed something they didn't show anywhere that they got that info from. So in turn there would be no difference is i said "the new prl is for sprint users to be forced to roam on VZ towers more to hurt their network and take load off sprints." Thats complete BS there but no diff than what that poster did.

EDIT: Well i guess the poster was just taking the info from the other site that detailed the changes in the PRL and ASSUMED it would only go out to business accounts. Which actually might not be wrong given the info in the PRL notes. I read his post a lil quick there myself.

[EVO 4G General] adeyo:
Well, it makes sense now that your speeds seem faster. You are probably getting 3g where you once had 1x...due to the updated roaming agreementfor business customers.

Digi, based on your post above, it would seem that 60676 is then the preferred PRL to have as it would still permit 3g in most areas that the new prl's now permit only 1x. Is that a fair conclusion to draw?
[EVO 4G General] cLOUDFAn:
has been on 60677 (cm 7.0.0 and 7.0.2)

did a check but didn't find any update when op posted (long island area, ny)

today lost all data connection (roam or otherwise)

did a check again and updated to 60678

everything back to normal now

just a reminder if this happens to others
[EVO 4G General] digiblur:
Maybe if you live in Montana... but if you lived in where Carolina wireless had coverage you would want 60678 since it would add a good bit of "native" coverage.

Even if you stayed on the old prl I can bet you they would shut down the authenication for EV on that network in montana pretty quick. The phone hits the EV channel..fails the auth...then falls back to another data network it could connect to.
[EVO 4G General] dmora01:
I am in Lakeland,fl and I have now 01115 and I have a 3g with verizon when I use roam control.

Update! I still have the same speed, no difference but a lot better speed in roaming, so roam control is doing a good job, if I need better o I feel slow data easily I can use Verizon, this is a plus.

GOT 01115 in Dumfries, Va now
[EVO 4G General] dmora01:
Ok, I tried 60675, 60676 and 60678 and the only one that give me 3g when I am roaming is the 01115 but is little bit slower and drops my 3g. I like when I am roaming bc a lot of places in my town, (Lakeland, Fl) I don't have good coverage and the data speed of sprint is way slow.

Now, I have the 00001 prl and this one is the best, best! In my house sprint does not work , but now with the 01115 I can roam with verizon and I have 3g speed but I have only 1-2 bars of service and I don't get more than 360 kps down but with the 00001 prl I have full bars and I get 1.8 mb down and 700 kb up in the same place. so what is the is the difference between 01115 and 00001 when they are roaming?
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
I beleave 00001 is a straight Verizon prl as the other 01 is a sprint
[EVO 4G General] Mark_in_Tulsa:
Ok I have always had what I would call good 3g speeds here in Tulsa.

Now ever since Sunday I am always in 1x, and every other 3 min or so I lose all cell signals. (no voice or data)

I updated to the new 60678 prl and that was no help.

I tried a paid app I had called Roam Control which I would use at my gma's house in Texas to force roam on V's network and it always worked great.

Well tried that here at home and got no cell signal at all.

But I ran up to a small town called Skiatook 30 min from Tulsa in the boonies and I got a great signal and speed, but within 5 miles of my home in the middle of Tulsa it was out again.

Is this a down tower or maybe an over loaded tower that started over night?
[EVO 4G General] 00mred00:
Makes total sense and thank you for breaking it down.....but... quick tests in Dallas today show side by side evos 01115 to 60678 having signifigant speed differences. 01115 receiving 3g in an area woth a known tower outage and 60678 not getting 3g at all. I am going to toy with it more tomorrow ...do more "scientific" tests....but at first glance 01115 seems to have verizon tower connections in Dallas.

[EVO 4G General] tigueraje:
My friend just did the update in NYC and received the 01115 prl, his Evo is rooted.

On another note, I noticed that everyone is getting a prl of either 01xxx or 60xxx.

My point is, I've been using a prl of the format 61xxx which I found preloaded on a Sprint phone months ago, and both 3G and 4G have been working just perfect. So I saved this prl to my computer and gave it to my friends to use.

Please notice that I have yet to see any phone getting a prl of this 61xxx range from OTA update (only 60xxx).

it seems like u know a thing or 2 about prls i have an evo 4g flashed to boost, originally in MA with 60662 prl and worked perfect...i come to s florida and get good service, but not as good service as in MA ....updated phone and boost gives me 61007 prl, which was crap, still usable but crap, so i went back to 60662 prl and couldnt even get 3g..now im on 60686 prl which is the only prl that will give me 3g, but its sloooow..phone claims im getting full 3g service, but speedtest.net confirms slow connection....so boost mobile doesnt roam, but the evo does and now i have 60686 prl, the phone keeps trying to roam, which i lose service because boost mobile has no roaming...if i change the settings to sprint only i get no 3g, if i put it back to automatic i get 3g but phone wants to roam.......

1: i heard 61007 prl was virgin mobile prl (which is also sprint), and if this is true, then i assume i am connecting to a virgin mobile tower first, even if a sprint/boost tower is available

2: but mostly i am looking for a list of boost mobile specific prls, if anyone could help
