Sadly though sprint has us stuck here especially not that Verizon is no longer "all you can eat" data. Damn you sprint with your unlimited greatness and poor data speeds!
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
what we really need is a radio update
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
What's really happening is that when the PRL gets "turned on", the radios reinitialize and it's the nice, fresh "boot" of the radios is what would be causing the difference.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Right.

People your "speeds" will vary per network conditions.

Get to know what the PRL is all about:

[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Do you have to pay extra if you start roaming. I'm new to sprint. Are we supposed to pick "sprint only" for roaming? Or "automatic". I don't want to get charged extra

[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
Yes. This is not doing anything to your 3G speeds.
[HTC EVO 3D] MadRed:
If you are right, why would Sprint agents tell me to update my PRL? The problem i was addressing had nothing to do with roaming. Maybe it contains preferred tower info. I don't know.

All i can tell you is that my wife's iPhone is getting 4 Mbps where as I am lucky to get 1 Mbps for download speed. I mostly see .5 Mbps. Upload speeds are almost none existent for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flak:
No luck for me, still can't roam on the verizon repeaters at work with the evo 3d. Though my evo and epic can.
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
My prl is 12114
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
no new PRL here
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
It's part of their script. Keep on them and eventually they'll tell you to factory reset as well. That and their "magical, we'll push something from here" line they love to give out.

Also, you're comparing 2 different networks. Sprint vs ATT or Verizon.

"PRL files can also be used to identify home networks along with roaming partners, thus making the PRL an actual list that determines the total coverage of the subscriber, both home and roaming coverage."

Which has nothing to do with radio performance unless it's causing you to hit a different tower.

In Madison, WI, I've always gotten 3G speeds at 100k up and down.

Never any faster then that. VERY SLOW>

[HTC EVO 3D] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
has anyone dumped the PRL yet?
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
I have said this before in other PRL update threads, but I will say it here again. Hopefully, over time, people will remember:

There is only ONE way that a PRL update MIGHT increase your speeds.

1. If a new tower in your area had come online

-AND-

2. That tower has improved equipment / bandwidth

In most PRL updates, the chances of that happening in your area are slim. But it does happen. There is no way it is happening at the rate of people claiming increased speeds though.

So, mostly, people are getting a placebo effect.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Just updated to prl 21080 and I now have 4mb down on 3g. Awesome thanks Sprint

Jk but prl update did go through ok this time.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Its also possible that taking the update and having your data "reset" fixed any issues you might have had, and have nothing to do with the prl.
[HTC EVO 3D] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Just got it finally and man are my 3g speeds faster... even faster than 4g. who would have thought that... lol jk

But my upload did increase by a lot. went from .06 to .23
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I still think the pertinent question is: does 21080 allow 3G roaming? 21079 did not and if 21080 does, that could definitely change the speed for a lot of people!

Not true, at least not for me. I got 3G roaming on 21079 and still get it on 21080. I saw this just a few minutes ago because I'm in Cumberland MD on business and I'm on roam here, and I've been getting 3G data with the roaming triangle showing all week long.

Hey all,

So I just got my incredible S unlocked from Bell in canada and im on the Rogers network. I am noticing echo during calls (hearing myself) BUT ONLY when I'm talking to another incredible s. My phone is S-OFFed and with ARHD. The other incredible s is with the stock 2.2.1. I tried with other cell phones and landlines, and even with a motorola atrix (which has another noise cancelling mic), and doesn't do it. Anyone have any info?

Thanks all!!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trench619:
I've been using CyanogenMOD 7 and love it (mostly). The one thing I don’t like about it is the short battery life. I'm kind of new to rooting phones so it took me a bit to get it rooted and get CM7 rolling. I was wondering if there are any mods out there like CM7 that have better battery life? Or if there's any thing I can add to CM7 to give it more batter life?

I've been using android since the first phone came out so I’m already knowledgeable in what to turn off to try and extend the battery life, but I have noticed a big decrees in batter since installing CM7.

Thanks for the help guys

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilcuber:
You can under clock the processor when your phone is asleep. This creates better battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
Have you tried wiping battery stats?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
your phone automatically underclocks your processor when it sleeps (for most CPU governors), you do not need to tell it to do so.

I'm not picking on you fyi, I'm just making sure we are giving people accurate information... there's only one thing worse than no information: incorrect/incomplete information.

op: which version of CM7 are you running? remember, the more minimal your setup (ie less homescreens, less widgets, manual syncing of gmail and whatever else, etc) the better your battery life will be. this is especially true of newer phones that are getting heftier cpu & gpus that, while intelligent with power consumption, are going to drain even larger capacity batteries relatively quick with moderate/heavy usage.

how long are we talking with battery life? how heavy a user are you? for reference, I get around 16 hours of battery life if I don't charge the phone at all from unplugging to battery dying with moderate to heavy usage (texting ~50 times a day, sometimes up to 100 emails depending on what's happening at work, couple hours of calls, couple hours of streaming music [pandora or audiogalaxy], couple of hours of games [peggle and plants v zombies mostly - both of which are resource hogs], etc).

I have just learned to get used to the fact that the phone is going to die if I use it a lot, so I've purchased three micro-usb cables and a car charger.. that way, unless I'm in an area where there is no charge-capable usb port nearby, I'm always able to get a little more juice if need be.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilcuber:
but i also mean setting the max sleep to 368mhz. by default its set at 800mhz. sometimes with apps running in the background, the processor may go to 800mhz without you knowing
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
check out 'powersave' and set your cpu max to 806mhz. should last you a nice long time like that. responsiveness suffers, of course.

'ondemand' and 806mhz is the best comprimise for me. still fine with HDvideo recording, streaming audio, Nav, etc

if you really want to make it last... clock down to 400mhz, turn off all the sync, set brightness and timeout to minimum, all the radios off (airplane mode), and the volume down, on vibrate.

;-)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popimp315:
But some govenors don't drop the sleep to the lowest profile. In fact almost all keep it above the lowest clock. Other kernels allow it and you can also use third party to set it lower. When the tweaKr script becomes universal it will be even better =)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popimp315:
It suffers in powersave because it stays at the lowest setting only. No reason to set to 806. Lol and that bottom comment is hella funny =), but if he does that his phone will just be...a waste of pocket space.

Your best bet is to do some research on kernels. If you are using cm7 to cm 7.0.3 id recommened pyros kernel. If you are on 7.1 or a nightly over 121 I believe id go with eugene's streamline5. It did wonders for mine Also there is a battery saving tips. Google G2 battery saving tips. Should be first link that comes up.

Cyanogenmod roms are known to be battery hungry. Nom nom nom.

Mugen 3600mah = better battery life...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Can you elaborate on what kind of battery life you are getting now? How many hours, and for what level of usage?

How long have you been on CM? It takes a couple charge cycles of the battery after flash any ROM, for the battery meter to be accurate. Clear battery stats (as mentioned) then charge to 100%, let drain to about 20%, repeat a couple times. Don't drain until the phone dies. Some people say to do this, and its not good advice. Over discharge of Li ion batteries can cause them to no longer take a charge. There are people on here, on the Vision and other phones, that let their battery drain to empty, then the phone would no longer boot, forcing them to replace the battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilcuber:
It has good battery life but the battery sticks out a lot and its very uncomfortable

[Verizon Droid Charge] jason2302:
Let me start off by saying I am not in any way new to Android or rooting (I don't know why I felt like adding that, but I did).

Anyway, today I rooted and installed the Voodoo Lag Fix. Are there any NOTICEABLE changes? Everything seems to be just as slow or fast (however you want to describe it), and the colors seem to be the same (I read that it enhances colors).

Also, I want to keep my phone running quick, so I want as few apps installed as possible, but I also didn't root for nothing. SO: if I remove bloat that's safe to remove, will I have any problems taking the Gingerbread OTA when it comes out? I remember the DROID X used to check for all bloatware or else the update would fail. Also, are there any good root apps to check out? I know about most of them, but anything specifically recommended for the Charge? I've never overclocked because I read it can overheat the phone, but I guess if it IS a better experience, I should give it a go, right? What's the recommended overclock setting?

And finally, should I accept the GB OTA when it comes to us? Will the rooting method be the same, just with different files?

I know it's a lot but I'd really like some answers. Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Droid Charge] blahdc:
Lots of questions in one paragraph.

I would suggest taking a look at flashing with the Gummy or Humble Rom, they both have bloatware stripped.

I have used both, and they both work very well.

No idea when GB OTA will be released but I'm sure if you do it OTA you will get extra bloatware. It is safe to OC the charge to 1300mhz.
[Verizon Droid Charge] letsgophillyingeneral:
Hahaha then why do you have so many questions? :confused:
[Verizon Droid Charge] jason2302:
Because it seems like this phone is kind of different from the other Androids I've had (X, OG, and Incredible 2).

how many simultaneous touches does it support? and how is multitouch performance? (no issue whatsoever to report?)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdwagner:
It can track 2 points. Performance is good, but not perfect. I have an issue where 2 points that cross the same x or y axis lose responsiveness. The result is that I need to pinch diagonally rather than vertically, it's not a big problem. Other users haven't experienced this problem, but it's been the same for me across multiple roms and after numerous calibrations. Be aware of the viewing angles, the screen looks great dead on, but quickly diminishes at off angles. This is much more of an issue in portrait than landscape mode. There are Youtube videos illustrating the viewing angles. I myself don't find it too annoying.
