[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Well whatever man. I got no more than 1 meg down ever and after updating I'm getting 2 plus every run so you can believe whatever you want. Who cares anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jayare313:
I live in an LTE area but unfortunately live just outside the nearest lte tower's reach. This is average 3g for my area sometimes it peaks up to 2.41mbs.

Although generally PRL updates will not help your coverage XXX13 adds several Band Class 10 (800mhz) SIDs for certain areas including Atlanta, California and Texas. These were not in any previous PRLs as they were the previous Nextel bands. Anyone in the affected areas will definitely benefit from this update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Same here. I went back to 56015 to see if there is a difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] masterpero:
I went back to 56015 and getting triple the speeds of that 2000 prl
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
There are no speed differences. I do see less disconnects. That could be network improvements though. I'll keep this prl anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] A2CKilla:
In my area it's 25015 and it's great! Now I don't roam anymore, phone was stuck on 2000 and my signal was terrible, I'm so glad I have the know how of my phone and xda to fix a problem sprint can't :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] A2CKilla:
If you're talking about going back to a prl, just do a prl update, if that doesn't work, manually write whichever prl you want, or if you don't wanna do that do a ##72786#
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dad2lna:
Switched to 55015 from 2000 went to 3.46mbits from .01mbits down on LTE. Say what you will about the placebo effect and prls not changing your speeds but for the first time in over 3 months I got a few decent speed tests inside my house. Just to be certain I switched back to 2000 and bam .02mbits needless to say I will be using 55015 for a while
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbuxreg:
i notice worse reception and the inability to connect the past week or so. looked at my PRL and it is 2000 also. now i know why. this PRL sucks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
And there is your true problem. PRLs only have the ability to turn LTE on and off in areas. And that's it!

That's funny right there. Thanks for further proving my point.

Yep, it removed the 800SMR 1x scans since apparently some users were having issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dad2lna:
I methodically tested both prls sitting in the same spot. Is speedtest lying or is there a difference? Meh who cares at this point

Hey guys can I ask a stupid question? how do I update prl and profile for my sprint note 2 if i am running a custom ROM. Sorry I could not find a answer.

What is the correct procedure to use ##DATA# I tried it several times and I get feature code invalid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
You need to be on a Touchwiz based ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris0160:
There is also a sec zip or something like that where you can get the data and other codes to work on aosp I had it working once but I dont have the file anymore its either sec.zip or hidden menu zip anyways when im on 2000 I rarely get 4g but when I change it to 55.... 56... I get it lot more except I cant really use it so im now just using the modded verizon prls where my 3g is at least at 500kbps+ vs -100kbps on 2000

I'm a little confused. Does that only matter if you're roaming? The 1x anyway? Because I know what it is but have never seen it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuc noob:
Well, I saw there was an updated PRL, so I updated it...next thing I know my phone has a message in it stating it updated the PRL on it own. I had the 7XXXX, now it went back to 2000 on its own, AFTER I had updated it to the new one. Now when I do a PRL update, it won't budge from 2000 on its own. I'll have to write it myself with anything other than 2000.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LaloHigh:
Yup, got a pop up message about a prl update, updated and it reverted back to 2000. Wtf

Anyone know what is in the new 7015 prl?

Or is it similar to the 2000 prl?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] A2CKilla:
All I know it's still crappy (see my pics) but I didn't roam anymore, but my phone auto updated to 2000 and I roamed again and had crappy signal, so I'm glad I'm able to manually write my prls now, sticking with 55015 till sprint actually pushes a decent prl
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
After getting 7015 and being reverted back to 2000 I can no longer update prl. Before the process would go through even if there wasn't a new prl now it just tells me there's no update and the radio don't reset like it normally did in the past.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
If anyone has a copy of this 7xxx please send it and I will do a analysis on it.

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

PRLs have no affect on LTE speeds. The only time a PRL will affect LTE speeds is if you write one that has no enabler record for your area and that will prevent your phone from connecting to LTE. So in layman's terms all there is an on/off switch in the PRL for LTE, nothing more.

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

1X is your voice/sms connection. It will also be your data connection if LTE or EVDO is not available. 800SMR provides additional coverage due to the propagation characteristics over 1900mhz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LaloHigh:
Shoots, I didn't save it cause it only lasted for a couple of hrs before sprint send an update to revert back to 2000. Wonder what that was all about thou, digiblur.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
Well explain lte speed then the towers havent been changed with where im at. Why would they change it, so it would work even more ****tier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
You didn't post any LTE signal strengths or serving cell info to go with them, so no attempt any explanation can even be attempted. Speedtests vary quite a bit as well as Sprint's network optimization throws the worthless speedtest data to the back of the line and gives the priority to other users requesting actual data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
Well I noticed that when I went and downloaded anything it was in fact that much slower. Sorry I dont see an app on the play store that does that signal check.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
##DEBUG# will get you into the debug app (type 777468 for the code). LTE engineering is what you are looking for. There's also the SignalCheck app in the play store to show you your LTE signal strength.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blueline.signalchecklite&hl=en

I'd also be welcome to show you what enables/disables a LTE scan in the PRL so you can explain how they slow down LTE with a PRL update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuc noob:
Hey Digiblur, you seem like a very knowledgeable guy, and I was wondering since, I haven't quite seen a definitive answer, are any of the current Sprint phones actually capable of using the 800 MHz for LTE? I apologize if this has been answered already. I've read thru many threads and didn't quite see a definitive.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dad2lna:
So in theory a newer prl may tell your phone to skip connecting to the closest tower because it may have been incomplete at the time off issuance i.e. prl 2000 vs any other prl?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
No, Sprint phones have been certified to use 800smr LTE. Only devices are the triband LTE hotspots coming out later this week.

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

No, the PRL does not control what individual site you connect to. Even a phone that has a 5+ year old PRL will use a brand new site brought online today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
Ok so here go this speedtest was taken at TCC NE Campus Parking Lot. Last month I was able to achieve 8 to 10Mbps w/55015.

Here's the other problem though I've noticed everywhere I go doing a speed test or even real time performance I have noticed that it is less than what it was a month ago when I mean everywhere I honestly mean everywhere I travel every spot is decreased performance.

Every where from Fort Worth to Hurst to Irving to Grapevine to Arlington to Denton to Plano to Frisco. All of these places I have gotten worse speeds in tests and in actual real time performance. Back when I had the 55013/14/15/16 had no issues. As soon as it automatically updated the PRL to 2000 it's been nonstop ****tier speeds wherever I go.

And I know the whole roaming part is simply the fact that the 800 MSR whatever is missing or something along those lines. what pisses me off though is when I'm at work I am constantly roaming and I can't get rid of that stupid pop up notification saying: do you want to use the roaming services and I always have to hit cancel. it won't allow me to not let it pop back up again, even clicking that don't show this message again and then hitting cancel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuc noob:
I hear ya, lostsoul. I live in the marine creek area and have seen LTE gone almost non existent. In places that I used to clock good to decent speeds a month or two ago, I can't hardly do anything while on LTE. I've had to actually force it into CDMA to get stuff to download. In fact, the closer to the JRB base I get, the less I see it connect to LTE. so far theresbonly two places that I can do anything while on LTE,the parking lot at Target in lake worth, and the parking lot at CVS in Saginaw.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
-108 isn't that great of a signal.. Just meh.. I have that data disconnected message removed in my rom so I don't notice it. It's not a huge bothersome issue if it is there though just an icon.

If it makes you feel better and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling then by all means write another PRL. But they have the same exact LTE experience between the two. As with GSM and wimax, PRLs do not apply to LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
Well I get that. However countless people have mentioned that they experience slower speeds.

How do I write a prl? Never done that before. I dont want it to roam so I keep saying cancel. Or id be the next person to be booted because of too muxh roaming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Several people say Zimmerman is guilty but that doesn't make him guilty.

Let it roam... Just watch your usage.

What rom do you use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dallastx:
I live in your area. There is alot of work being done on to the HEB/NRH towers. With all the road construction it is taking longer to fix coverage issues. I live across the street from TCC and late night/ early morning speeds normally range about 12mbps. During the day 4mbps.

It gets worse if you go to North East mall area, where you will only get 3g that dosent even work! The 4g tower is over capacity in that area for more then a yr. Do to all the construction they haven't even bothered to correct the issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Geronimo.USMC:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
With this new 2000 prl I've had crappy service down here in Texas City near Galveston. It's hit and miss coverage. When it works best is outside in areas with the least amount of trees and other obstructions. My 3G is useless 99% of the time so basically I paid full retail for mine and my wife's Note II's and pay a $200 per month bill for service that is worse than prepaid services like cricket. The ONLY reason I don't switch to Verizon is because of the new Softbank merger and Clearwire acquisition by Sprint. This will very likely help Sprint get off their asses and start getting this LTE network off its ass as well. Im just as agitated as all of you are. I just keep having faith that one day I will pick up my phone and Google.com will load in less than 2 freakin minutes!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] A2CKilla:
Prl 2000 beaks everything, just manually write 55015 or 25015 and everything will be fine, 2000 breaks everything because it's a temporary prl because people were complaining about those other prls breaking things when they don't, plus 2000 removes the 800smr (nextel signal) from the search list which idk why they did that, cause I'm enjoying my amazing building penitration with this good prl
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
They removed the 800mHz Nextel band because Sprint is repurposing that frequency for LTE as I understand it. Sprint intends to have phones using that freq in LTE in a year or so. Sprint has already announced 3 devices coming using 800mHz LTE, all wifi hotspots
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
They didn't remove it due to that. A small handful of users in some areas were having issues with voice/sms due to 800SMR only on the Note2.

Sprint is adding 800SMR 1x coverage not adding it. Later this year LTE will also be rolling out on 800SMR as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Now in know when to upgrade lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
That should have said they are not removing 800smr network coverage. That's their key to reduce in market roaming and save money.

I have been dealing with this prl 2000 issue for about a week. After pushing xxx15 to my phone through ##DATA# this morning prl 200 was re pushed by sprint to my phone. I then proceeded to contact sprint and chew them out for pushing it without my consent. The representative I spoke to was concerned. I informed him that it is a national issue. I then directed his attention to this form. He then proceeded to inform me that it should not be happening. After a "full" data reset by his stand point (and its failure to change the prl back) I then informed him on how to manually push a prl. He will be calling me back sunday around 5 cdt to see if the prl was pushed again. I will keep this up to date as much as I can. You can pm if you can think of other things to ask or say to the rep when he calls me back.

Thank you

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Yea PRL2000 is pissing me off with practically no 3G or 4G service in my house....which since I'm in a residential in the state capitol is laughable. Granted the prior PRL's didn't get me 4G since none of the Sprint towers out here are LTE either, but comeon. I was on a cycling tour last month...and even the farm town boonies outstate in the middle of nowhere with a population of sub-500 had Verizon 4G service.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] matthewhorkey:
When I get pushed I go into 100% roaming. I know that always roaming will get you booted. That's what gave me the initiative to call. The sad thing is, its their fault and we pay for it.

:rollseyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Yeah hopefully it's just temporary and gets fixed soon. I don't have the roaming issue but my call connectivity has definitely taken a hit. It seems people on the other end can't hear me half the time in places I've never seen issues.

Sprint seems to have removed the prl write otherwise I would have just downloaded the newest prl and I read about doing it with cdma tools, but I am out of time to try all that. Maybe later.
