thanks op! this looks pretty stable. some observations:

1. timestamp fixed

2. still putting me through the kansas server

3. speeds here in philly are comparable on 3g

4. took a 20 minute shower and 3g didn't drop (i never let the 40060 sit this long so i don' know if i was even having the problem before)

if there was a way to fast switch and fix the kansas server issue i would gladly make a contribution =)
[EVO 4G Android Development] epphllps:
Definitely looking forward to that write up, until then I will continue to experiment with it. Your prl is working great at holding my 3G signal, so much appreciated for your effort. Lastly, would you happen to know why my Evo can't open the ##EVDO# hash?

Re: *techknowfile's* - Hack the HTC EVO - 3G w/o Sprint EVDO coverage!

Tested with mobilespeedtest, both original and ur last prl clock 400 to 500kbps... as if nothing is being changed. Calling *2 gets me Verizon on ur and original prl for some reason is giving me "call dropped, network busy" message. So something IS being changed, I'm probably just not seeing the difference.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
for kicks and giggles, restart your phone and see if you are still getting kansas afterwards

also, this is where the Home/foreign shenanigans comes in as well...
[EVO 4G Android Development] muncheroo:
i'm in philly right now.

after changing the home agent to nyc, my SID is 8 on your new prl

after changing ha back to 255.255.255.255, my SID is still 8

another observation: ping and speeds after changing the HA didn't really improve.

btw, what's with all the profiles in ##data#... when i change 1, all of them change... is there anyway to actually use them as different profiles?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
youll only have 2 profiles normally... 0 and 1. the others will be empty and generally useless. if you have home agent enabled and stay in the same spot your SID wouldn't change O.o.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmoses1969:
Finally, it installed

My SID# is 1271. I am in Kansas

My server will show up at St. Louis, MO due to my HA, but after I had to restart my phone again for another reason my 3G connection takes roughly 4-5 minutes to connect and does not hold at all. Haha, I am downloading at 98 kbps.

Edit: speeds are back to numbers I have never seen (1250 kbps) but it still takes forever to obtain 3g and the drop issue remains.
[EVO 4G Android Development] muncheroo:
ah cool beans.

so how bout letting us in on the no-reboot switch. what you've accomplished so far is already super useful for us folk who get sprint dead spots, but being able to switch quickly would just be icing on the cake.

thanks again man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dmoses1969:
Mine went from 3-4 bars to 1-2 bars and speeds dropped from 750 - 450
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:

[EVO 4G Android Development] dmoses1969:
That 3-4 bars was from the prl you posted on the 1st page. I have tried several others also. I dont have Sprint coverage in my area. Nearest Sprint tower is 25 miles away. Loads of Alltel and Now Verizon towers around me though.

[EVO 4G Android Development] clubtech:
Is there any way to reduce the latency?

I am using the HA for my area but as soon as load the prl the latency doubles.

I have no doubt it connects to VZW as i get slightly better speeds and more bars.

Checking with the new PRL, still have those CA HA IP's set so why am i seeing double the latency?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
ignore those IP for now. That first jump / second jump has to go through a few more towers. You can try and type ##DATA# (edit mode)->advanced->disable home sys reg (and enable foreign if they aren't already... also let me know if those were on or off by default)
[EVO 4G Android Development] epphllps:
All are enabled by default from what I have seen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] clubtech:
Done.

Sys home reg was enabled, changed to disable

Foreign were enabled. kept as is.

Rebooted.

No change. still seeing 200ms above the Sprint PRL.

OMG, how will we ever live with 1/5 of a second delay?!?! thats liek, .2 seconds of having to wait for facebook to load. APOCALYPSE
[EVO 4G Android Development] roshambo:
Does this offer anything to us that the 01337 PRL didn't have?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
uuuh sorta (01337 will connect to preferred channels only)
[EVO 4G Android Development] clubtech:
Well...200ms more is pretty substantial if you add the 150ms sprint already has (which results in 350ms to anywhere, which well..makes everything pretty slow...).
[EVO 4G Android Development] roshambo:
So if both of them work for me, which would be the proper one to use?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
31337 will give the best coverage, though not necessarily the best speed depending on the towers in your area.

i would keep 01337 on, and if you ever happen to have bad/no signal somewhere switch to 31337.

but thats just me

were you still on the active profile screen when you commited (or did you go to another screen and try commiting other mods).

anyways, to answer your question profile 1 is fine. If you have QPST you can load it up and see the differences. only time changing your profile is necessary (as far as my lack of intelligence knows) is when you are having profile authentication issues (error 67).

has other uses, just none ive ever had to mess with
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
just to confirm it isn't an unrelated issue... ##DATA#->EVDO->turn on data Dedicated Transmission Mode.

also, what do you have your CDMA roaming set to (settings->wireless and networks->mobile networks->roaming)

try making a phone call (like *2 is fine) for 5-10 seconds. then hang up and see if you get reconnected (make sure you turn off DDTM before this)
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Re: *techknowfile's* - Hack the HTC EVO - 3G w/o Sprint EVDO coverage!

I'll give it a shot, but should I turn off or on DDTM? Just asking since u said to do both :p

[EVO 4G Android Development] crpercodani:
Just a update, I have been using the 60665(m?) PRL that distincthead made for the New England region since 5 or 6 days ago and it is still going strong! I get awesome 3G everywhere in Massachusetts and my speeds have consistently stayed above 1.5mbps DL and I've had a few in the 2+mbps range. The weird thing is I NEVER get any beeps when making or recieving calls, but above the signal bars it always has the romaing triangle. Checked my Sprint Data usage and I don't see any roaming so I guess it's all good. Latency/ping is always around 200-280ms but it doesn't seem to have any effect on anything.

Could somebody shed some light?

I have read all of the posts for this topic but I am very confused with what I am to do next. I got my msl code from Sprint and downloaded the prl file. So what do I do next? Yes, I am a newb to the android community and have little experience so if anyone could help me I would really be greatful. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DarkManX4lf:
Copy the PRL file to your sdcard, go to your phone dialer and dial ##775#, enter your MSL code, select the PRL option (its the only one) then your prl file should be listed. Select the PRL file that you copied to your SD card press ok. This will bring you back to the previous menu, once there press menu and then press commit changes. Press OK to let the phone reboot. Then you should go to a website like speakeasy or some other bandwith test site to check your 3G speeds. Good Luck! :)

Hey techknowfile, I'm primarily active on ppcgeeks, and we have a number of people in Arizona that are getting terrible 3G data speeds. I updated to the 01337 PRL you just posted and it works so much better, but the ping times are anywhere from 600-800ms. Would it be possible to get a custom PRL that has our location in the SID?

First of all, I wanna thank the OP....this worked great for me so far....

The first post is a little confusing though....here is what I did

Download the file(s) to your SD Card, reboot the phone as mine didnt show the available prl files without a reboot.......Dial ##775#....enter MSL, go to update prl, select the prl file you want and commit changes...

I tried with all the 3 prl files....the results in the pic are as follows....

the first two are for 40060

the second two are for 31337

the third two are for 01337

the fourth two are for 60665

Hope this helps someone.....Thanks a lot again, technofile....you are the man :D

Problem is it doesn't go back to 3G after its been awaken. Been testing it all day, could get 45 min to an hour strong, then goes off for 20 mins, comes back for a min or two, after that its pretty much gone since itwill only lock 3G for a very short time.

I have done some further setting experimenting and I have reached steady speeds of 90-100 kB/s down and around 50-70 kB/s up with only 1 bar of sprint 3g inside my house. Ping times sub 200, typically around 150-170ms.

1. I posted earlier about going into the ##DATA# menu and taking a look at your HOME SID, in Advanced, and mine was set to Missouri. I went to roamingzone.com and found the closest Sprint SID to Jackson, TN and changed my current Home SID to the new sid for Jackson, TN Sprintcom Inc.

2. I changed my HOME AGENT address(also in the DATA menu) to a location closest to me, which pings as St. Louis, Missouri. The link to this was posted earlier.

When I am outside with 3-5 bars of 3g I am pushing around 120-150 kB/s down and 80-100 kB/s up. Ping is still around 150-170ms or so.

*Note that this is not promised to work for you due to all of the variables, but I am hoping it will make a drastic difference for some of you. The 1 bar speeds should not be taken as a sure thing on every speed test you may run, but I have gotten it consistently with 0-2 bars inside.
