You are getting better signal because you are using a hacked prl to force the phone to roam and use Verizon network. In your case verizon probably has better service and speed in your area than sprint hence why the speed is faster on verizon than on sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ac16313:
No, you get an entirely different signal and that makes speed comparisons irrelevant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
The reason the prl from Verizon seems faster is because your on the Verizon tower at that time and Verizon data is faster than Sprint data at the moment. That's why it seems like that. But prl only affects the way a phone communicates with local towers so as to be more efficient when switching from tower to tower.

He fails to read what I am saying. A PRL upgrade is from Sprint. They will NEVER push a VZW PRL to your phone.

Like someone else posted above, you are loading a bootlegged PRL that has nothing to do with Sprint.

Just like I stated, I could swap SIM cards from ATT to Tmobile on a phone and get different signal and speeds. I am swapping providers just like you are doing.

YMMV PRL change, Woked for me!!

I see a lot of varying opinions on this matter, but what really matters is that my data speed in fact did improve for me. I went around a 10 mile radius checking download speeds for about a month after being really bummed out T-mo and AT&T on 3G were delivering about 3000-4000 Kbps while my Sprint was averaging 150 Kbps. Stunning how terribly slow Sprint was. Yet after installing PRL 55013 on my Epic 4G, SPH-D700, I at least went up to 1200 Kbps on first test and about 800 Kbps on second. Of course I will continue checking if in case it is a fluke. But just for starters I never hit anything near 600 Kbps, - ever! So, it never hurts to try for anyone who is stuck with sorry down load speeds of about 100 Kbps.

Has anyone else lost connection to their AirRave device when updated to PRL 55014?

My phone was not connecting to it when on PRL 55014 and my wife's phone was when it was on PRL 55013. The second I updated her PRL to 55014 it lost connection to the AirRave as well.

Im on the phone with Sprint to see if they can fix it. Maybe we will see PRL 55015 tonight...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techronico:
OK. So after spending 5 hours on the phone with Sprint. I found out that PRL 55014 and 55013 both prevent the GN2 from connecting to AirRave Devices. I had to manually revert to PRL 55012 and inform Sprint of the issue. My phone had the ##DATA# command because I'm using Synergy ROM, however because my wife was on Stock MC2, I had to root her device and load Synergy ROM for her. It gave me a good excuse to do it because she doesnt care about custom ROMs but I still Love her. :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Well, this potentially explains a lot.

I see here a new PRL:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39604421&postcount=883

I knew the following:

1) I was between 56013/5 between now and PRL 2000.

2) Time I was having issues was around the time MC2 leak came out. That post date is really close.

3) A profile/PRL was breaking it and that rebooting the phone or reprovision fixed it.

And as a reminder here's the log:

http://garwynn.rainmotorsports.net/L900/log3.txt

Is 800 SMR to blame? Not sure yet.

If it was then why was I getting the GSM errors?

And why when it acted up did I get data but voice and push notifications was what broke?

All very interesting when you don't understand what happened in the first place.

All I know is so far I can't get the scenario I did before to break the phone to work again.

That's bad news for the problem - but honestly great news for me.

I'll keep trying to break it...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
Well damn. ..I updated PRL the other day and was put on prl 2000. I was stuck roaming the entire day yesterday. This was at home, where I normally get a weak/decent signal. I came to work today and was stuck roaming or jumping to 4G. No stable 3g connection at all.

I was spooked, because I already received one of this warning letters over a year ago for roaming. Plus while on vaca the last 4 days I was roaming the whole time. I turned data off and relied on wifi most of the time. I don't wanna get booted off or lose my plan.

I turned off roaming at work and had no data at all. So I downloaded the 55xx prl zip and went back to 55013. Now I am getting signal again at work and no longer roaming. This prl nonsense is crazy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] N3Ph1L1M:
I had 4g for a while then as I'm driving down the road it switches to 3g and now even though I'm at home where I've been getting 4g for the past 3 weeks, I'm stuck on 3g. I'm on the 2000 unfortunately from the sound if things, and I've tried cycling plane, checked lte settings and rebooted the phone... And nothing!

Can anyone recommend anything, like could I flash a different pro and if so does anyone know where I'd find one. I checked out the post with the link above and the 800 being taken out or something but I'm still kinda noobish and all I got from it is that they took out certain frequencies or something that were allowing me to get 4g previously.

I've been getting 4g previous while on the 2000 though. It went out once before and then randomly came back after flashing a few different Roms I had previously tried.

Thank all

It shouldn't, but since this special PRL strips out any 800 SMR, it could affect signal quality.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

For now, I am non-rooted, because I have a feeling there will be a system update to fix the supposed 800 SMR issues, and want to wait until new update before doing anything.

What is the best way to update PRL on a non-rooted Note II? Using QPST? Obviously, I do not have the original ROM to simply update in the #DATA menu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
Why not just flash a touchwiz rom and go to the menu and update in there and then go back to whatever rom you're using now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Read my post again, I stated native PCS, nothing about SMR. Even with SMR in there your phone would still try to use PCS for EVDO/LTE. If 800SMR was stripped out then the user wouldn't have signal if they couldn't use PCS EVDO anyways so they would be roaming. All depends on the situation as if it was a business user they could find themselves with increased speeds since they wouldn't be on 800SMR 1X and would be on VZW EVDO/1X.

You are simply resetting your radio. The MCC/MNC records have not changed in quite a while that enable/disable 4G LTE scans.
