Network Vision is also a complete upgrade of the back haul of the network. Data speeds are directly effected by this. Rare part shortages prevented expansion for a long time. 99% of Sprint towers will be equipped with LTE. As far as I know, no current device supports 800 LTE. But it is possible it could be enabled at a later date, I'm not sure. It's doubtful since sprint will want you to probably buy a new phone to get the benefits.

Every current sprint tower will be equipped with 800 and 1900 MHz which is increase coverage everywhere. The ESMR band is a lower frequency than ever what Verizon and AT&T have. Fortunately we will also have LTE on both bands too. 2.5ghz is going to be evaluated and placed where it is necessary. Mainly extremely dense urban cities.

Sprint is also going through and doing iden thinning which has already started. It is turning off excess Nextel towers to already start switching on 800 to CDMA. The ones that are being turned off during thinning are gone for good. The rest are being evaluated on whether they are worth keeping or not.

If you have an airave, they are replacing them with new units that support 800 MHz as well. Would call sprint and ask to have you unit replaced tomorrow. I'm doing it as well.

All of this is going to drastically cut operational costs to sprint, which is going to help keep our cheap plans around much longer. Sure the project is like 9 billions to carry out, but it's saving them much more in the long run. On top of that sprint is upgrading the voice network to 1x advanced. It support direct connect and hd voice. Sprint is developing an app for android to support the direct connect on voice. Cannot wait for this!

Everyone will start seeing improvements very soon. 11115 might be great for you now, but you are going to be missing out on all the 800 MHz towers and upgrades by staying on that prl. There is going to be a new prl basically every 2 weeks for the next 2 years. That's how much sprint is doing and very quickly.

Think about this, 15 cities lit up with LTE on the first day. That's half of AT&T. 15 more are expected to be turned on very shortly. And these cities are only about 40% complete as far as network is concerned. No city will be fully complete unit after Nextel is decommissioned.

I just keep hoping it gets better. I'll swch back to stock prl every so often

So far I need to be on Verizon for my phone to be usable.

i believe you.. its just frustrating living in phoenix az since were behind the curve and get things late.. my phone has never got to use 4g lol but i like the unlimited data and the phones.. thats about it with the service here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Exciting stuff. :)

Our rep from Sprint showed me the 1x advanced projected coverage map, and it looks to be far better than Nextel... Although the vague '1x direct connections will be slower to initiate' could mean anything...

But, as long as my GS2 can take advantage of the new data speeds, I'll be a happy camper. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
I would love to not have to use roam control and the 11119 PRL. It really makes it difficult for me to enjoy the AOSP ROMs since they don't work very well together to provide a good experience data wise. I have an airwave so when I call them here in a few days I will bring that up. That may be why they're emailing me about the network upgrades like once a week. Maybe I should actually read the next one LOL. Thanks for the info. I honestly am very happy with everything except the network on sprint. US cellular had a much much better 3G network and I haven't had a chance to try their 4G network. Sprints customer service always works with me on my bill ever month. Unemployment sucks and they always give me a few extra days past the disconnect notice to pay and I always do, probably why they do. They're always nice and polite. They definately have a great selection of new tech to choose from and the price points aren't bad at all with what's around here and what they offer for the cash. If they get their network up and running better then they would be the ideal carrier and most likely take a lot of business from US Cellular in the Knoxville TN area

I know several people on US Cellular... Yes, their network is far faster than Sprint's, and yes, they can upgrade faster. But their plans are also more expensive, and their phones are more expensive, even with the rewards program...

I'm just glad that responsible use of Roam Control (ie, only roaming when I actually NEED data, not just because I want to stream Netflix) let's me use my smart phone as an actual smart phone.

I'm anxiously awaiting Network Vision to be deployed in Milwaukee so that I don't HAVE to use Roam Control simply to check my email.

US celluar can't beat unlimited data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tim1089:
I live in Indiana and Sprint sent me email that they are upgrading in my area, Infact I called to get Airwave for my home because of drop caslls in my home. They told me about the tower upgrades and that they will be done before years end. They are sending me the airwave unit (2 week wait) but said I should see an increase in my singal and data when finished
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
lol us cellulars tiered data can beat sprints roaming policy when we are forced to use roam control "just" to check our emails.. network vision? unheard of where i live just like sprints 4g.. id take uscc if we had it here any day.. i cant even call sprint when im home if i wanted to without roam control.. so sprint is worst choice that i made.. but nobody here is wrong since everything is just peoples personal opinions.. and also dependant on where you live

Your argument is nullified since you don't even have us cellular in your area lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
i work in us cellular lol. un nullified.. i speak with customers all day long and rarely are there any issues with the network.. and im a sprint customer.. with all the port ins from sprint and customers calling in to bash sprint which theyve also had so can compare it uscc beats sprint in almost every category excep for the unltd data and the fact that sprint is a national carrier and uscc is regional.. either way, uscc focuses on the customer and there footprint now instead of rushing to spread everywhere and having a crappy network as a whole.. i would care less if its more money because i kno if i had uscc here the network would be way better and everything else.. look at the awards uscc has compared to sprint from network to customer service and its clear who is better but its ok, sprint obviously is better where your at, just wanted to get across that its not good everywhere like here in phoenix.. id have to say verizon sets the bar here as far as network is concerned

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Who did you call? The number they gave me says it is closed. And I can see there is like 2000 in the warehouse still
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] keeepinitgansta:
I called advanced technical support. They told me that they have some priority system in place that services those who do not have an airave and are in need of one first then whatever stock is left, is assigned to those who want to swap out. Maybe that qty of 2000 is reserved for that purpose.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
That's probably true. 2000 set aside for people who need it

is 11121 the newest so far? am I missing out cuz im not on 60690?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
11124
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I tried 60690 last night here in Milwaukee, and I found absolutely no improvement in Sprint coverage over 11115. The only difference is that I lost 3G roaming (obviously...went from a corporate to a personal PRL).

Sprint is on real thin ice with me... I've been with them for 11 years, but over the past 3 days, I haven't been able to get reliable voice reception in my home without Roam Control. I always had data issues, but I've never had voice reception issue at home.

I haven't had a chance to call in and find out if there's a tower outage, but even if there is, I can't do anything about it. Unless they are going to credit my bill?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Could always go to. Verizon or AT&T
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] keeepinitgansta:
Is this available anywhere yet besides OTA?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
lol its not ota..11124 is a corp ptl with 3g roaming.. 60690 is ota prl with no 3g roaming.. i found id roam on stupid cricket.. on corp prl i roam on verizon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I'm not going to leave my carrier I of 11 years because of two weeks of bad voice reception. I'm used to crappy data, do that doesn't even bother me.

I did chat with somebody yesterday online, and they said they were 'experiencing a network outage' in my area (zip 53222) and they expected the issue to be resolved on 7/28.

Three weeks (when all is said and done) seems like a long time to go with an outage...

The rep told me that it has absolutely nothing to do with Network Vision, though. I asked if she could tell me when NV would be implemented in my area, and she said as of right now, there are no details available.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
Where can I download 11124?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
Also why do we even NEED Roam Control? I don't think it ever works for me anyway and our phones will automatically choose the best tower or automatically roam anyway. Correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
You can use Roam Control + corporate PRL to force roam to a different network.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
It has never worked for me. Anyway, where can I get the 11124 download? Thx!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
What does "it has never worked for me" mean, exactly? What does it do when you try to use it?

Sprint phones will NOT choose the tower with the best signal. Sprint phones will choose the best SPRINT tower... Meaning if you have even the slightest signal from Sprint, you are on that tower, even if you can't actually make a call.

Roam Control will let you force the phone to use a non-Sprint signal. It doesn't guarantee that signal is better than Sprint's... Although 85% of the time the competitor signal IS better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
And even if Sprint does have more signal, the data speeds on other networks is almost always better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Not hardly. 3G roaming is only enabled in a few states
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
Exactly! I am in the Chicago area so Roam Control doesn't work for me correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
Ok sooooo where can I download 11124?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
There was some talk a few months ago that Sprint wasn't allowing even 1x data roaming in the Chicago area.

I don't know if that was ever confirmed, though. I rarely ever get down to Chicago except to O'Hare, and Sprint's native 3g is plenty fast, there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Because a lot of us don't have Sprint service everywhere. So when we don't have Sprint service we like to have similar roaming data speeds when we have to roam.

No, and never will be. Sprint can see which towers you are using.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
But then you constantly have to check your roaming usage or otherwise you might get the warning letter and or be cut off. Correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Might is the key word. I have seen others within these threads that have had a constant 5+ gigs while roaming on a monthly basis and have still not received warning letters. But yes, there always is that possibility. As for me, I cannot live without my 1115 PRL and roam control. Without these two I would have canceled my service with Sprint months ago.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Correct

Exactly. Some get away with it and others don't.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
You get a warning letter first if you repeatedly go over the 300mb mark.

And yes, roam control is a life saver.

My project im working on will make everyone on on Sprint who uses roam control and frequently roams very happy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
One more thing, do the Verizon PRLs use all of Verizons mhz bands, or just the higher ones (1600?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Verizon only has 800 and 1900. And yes, all their PRLs use both bands, but I beleive the 14008 gives priority to Alltel towers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bman55:
I put 00001 prl on and used about an average of 50-70mbs of data daily and today i got a call while I was in school it was the roaming department but the call was lost lol. But speeds were unbelievable 150ms ping and 1.8mbps down and at the local strip mall 2.2mbps down and I live in northern jersey.

so, is there a way to set a limit of how much you roam on Verizon PRL? Say less than 300? That should be someones nexT projecT. :-P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Use 00002 or 52644. You'll get better results
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bman55:
With or without roam control?

GalaXy S ll [blazerV3] @ 1200x720
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Scratch that, 52644 does not work. Probably because of the LTE codes. Roaming works, but that means I'm back on Sprint :-P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bman55:
Okay well I need a prl that uses sprints network most of the time and than when I want to use vz data I can force roam... Any suggestions? And can someone point me in the direction of a working force roam app?

GalaXy S ll [blazerV3] @ 1200x720
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
1115 is the PRL you are looking for and roam control is the app. Roam control has been removed from the market but can be downloaded from the devs website.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alwaysbelieve1:
Plenty fast... lol... could have fooled me! Ha ha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Well, fast enough to stream Netflix and YouTube... So that's at least 45KB/s.

I'd kill for consistent speeds like that here in Milwaukee. Normally, when I'm out and about, I average maybe 20KB on a good day. Usually at bars, if I need data, I have to use Roam Control to get actual 3g speeds off US Cellular.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
That's terrible guys, I get 1.5Mb/s down on sprint in Gainesville and it'll peak at 2 Mb/s
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
I was referring to utilizing a corporate prl and roam control.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Once in a while, I'll get bursts of 1.5mb - 2mb, but that's pretty rare. In the city, if I'm more than 4-6 blocks from a tower, I'm under .4mb.

Heck, Sprint has a tower AT Miller Park, and data is still unusable during a game. Even force roaming to 1x on US Cellular with Roam Control get me faster data than Sprint 3g. Bring able to roam on 3g with 11115 makes it all that much better.

I do try to use Sprint Data when I can, though. I don't sit and stream movies and crap while roaming!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Umm duh...using your phone at a game? Lmao. No one ever can. At uf no ones phone works at all. In fact sprint is the best one to use because you can at least get enough signal for texts. Verizon is partners with uf and their towers are so maxed out there no one can use it during a game. You can say that your data is unusable during a game. That nullifies the entire statement

Various PRLs and Sprint Femtocells (Airave)

I'm new to these PRLs, been using/testing a few for the first time with my new SGS3 (coming from webOS)

(scraped this thread, wondering if much on Femtocells had been posted, didn't see much)

I've tried about 4 flavors of PRLs from the original post, including the tweaked Verizon one.

I'm in the middle of nowhere (no towers from any company with a few miles of my residence).

I got Sprint to give me a free Airave/femtocell a while ago.

With my stock PRL on this device I had good Airaive connection, and it did not show the roaming triangle, as expected.

However, with any of the other PRLs (from origianl post), I get the roaming triangle on all of them.

Can someone chime in on how PRLs might work/not work with the Femtocells?

Is this expected with femtocell use?

Is there something specific that should be in a PRL for femtocell users?

(wondering if custom PRLs are sent to femtocell users or something like that. The reason I say that is when I looked at my stock PRL via DFS interface, the stock PRL did not have a numbered label, but all further PRLs show as their numbered ID, when I read the PRL with DFS)

Have others noticed an empty label on stock PRL with DFS?

Thanks for any feedback.
