Hm... Does this hack work with an Evo on boost mobile? I know a lot of MVNOs don't allow roaming, not sure about Boost. Where I work both Verizon and Sprint have good speeds but where I live Sprint speed kind of sucks and regardless of where I'm at it's VERY sporadic, I get anywhere from 100 to 900ms ping and anywhere from 50k/s to 2mb/s download many many times one right after another lol

I find it very amusing that at work I don't get full bars and at home I get full bars but I get way faster speed at work than at home lol I don't remember having this problem when I had Virgin Mobile probably a year ago.

Unless they've made some significant changes since last October, Boost definitely has absolutely no roaming. That was one thing that sorely stuck out to me as a former Boost customer.

Kinda figured :/ guess it was just wishful thinking lol I can just hope that they improve the network here soon. My wife has an evo on Sprint and she was getting similar speeds to me (less ping though) so I figured it's the network. I do wonder why she's getting less ping though, we have the same baseband and same PRL, sometimes I get a really good ping so I doubt it's like how carriers throttle download speeds (thankfully not boost), hm... Thanks :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] kainppc6700:
Are you roaming on the 11115 though? You're still using the same Sprint network if you're not. PRL 00001 is the strictly Verizon one, so if you're getting slow speed on that then either Verizon and Sprint are having problems in your area, you're just too far from anyone's service, or something is wrong with the hardware on your end.

All from prl 0001. Best speeds I've ever seen on my EVO. I live in Minneapolis.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kainppc6700:
Wow - those are amazing speeds. Around where I live, Sprint speeds are pretty bad (20-400KB per second down, averaging out around 130), but Verizon's aren't much better (around 400-500KB Per second down), but they are Much more consistent. I recently did some travelling yesterday and got 1,300KB Per second down with Sprint, so apparently it's a geographical thing.

I use that one Sprint PRL with EvDo roaming along with roam control paid version.

Useless!? Using roam control with the 11115 prl I get these speeds. Did 3 tests with roam control set to "home only" then did 3 tests with roam control set to "roam only" you be the judge....
[EVO 4G Android Development] kainppc6700:
ROAM CONTROL Reply

I was referring to my experience with the free version, which apparently hasn't worked since version 1.4. I ended up being forced into getting the identical paid version, which isn't too bad. Where I live, Verizon has only somewhat better speeds. Sprint gets anywhere from 20KB to 500KB per second down, averaging out at around 130. Verizon is a little more consistent and usually averages around 400, although sometimes it can be slow too. Guess it's a geographical thing though because a couple weeks ago, I took a little field trip and found a city where I got, no joke, 1,300KB Per second down with Sprint, without roaming. Roam control is a lifesaver, but I wish I could've used the free version.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dubs.law:
Just got the call from Sprint about excessive data roaming... I have 7 lines on my account. They offered to terminate all lines and also said that I could port all of my lines to another provider. They said that if they terminate my contract on their accord that they will only cancel my line and the rest of my account would stay intact.

Hmmm.......
[EVO 4G Android Development] davemw2:
They said you cancel all the lines for free? And how much roaming did you do? I've roamed almost 8 gigs and I'm only 9 days into this billing cycle.

I'm on disibility right now so all I do is tether Netflix. And I'm going to everyday that I'm home in hopes that they offer me the same deal. Then ill change the Evo to the other line and do the same.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dubs.law:
yup they said cancel all lines for free. Lol 8 gigs you are def gonna get a call/letter. I roamed 1.5 gigs this cycle and today is the end of my cycle... I've been using 11115 pretty consistently for 4 months though, probably 1.5 to 2 gigs per month... The Sprint guy told me that after 300 mb roaming for a consistent amount of time, the system triggers the letter / call. I asked him how much data roaming my other lines had and he said none. I said well then.... I have 7 lines for 10 years, 300 mb x 7 x 120 , we should be good lol, he said no.
[EVO 4G Android Development] davemw2:
Another roaming only prl that isn't talked about very much is 01337. I get 2mbps when I use this one...

When I use 00001 or 01337 they work for a few hours at amazing speeds and then after 2-6 hours my phone drops data every time I try to use it. Does anybody else have this issue? Those two prl's are hands down the best by far in my area (St. Paul MN).

ROAMING ON VERIZON FOR THE WIN Reply

Wow. For such poor selection and quality, they still have a lot of data to offer, LOL!

Great, I guess it's good to know where the ceiling is. I'm on data quite a lot on my Epic, but I only usually do 100 to 150 (closer to 500 or 800 if I "tether" it a lot) Megabytes per month on Sprint, and 10 to 15 roaming, so I should be good then, although watching more YouTube videos and listening to more streaming radio with the newfound power of VLC for Android could change that.

[EVO 4G Android Development] :
for sense roms, yes. epst and aosp don't play too well together.

and installing a sense rom, connecting to the network and "normally" updating the prl doesn't work if your phone has been disabled from connecting to sprint's network.

hence my desire to see if i can hop onto verizon's with my evo, instead. ;)

so i guess i should clarify and say "any apk's other than the epst one in the original post", since folks have trouble with subtle questions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] davemw2:
I'm not understanding what your saying... You can't connect to sprint? It your too lazy to make a nandroid of your current rom and nandroid back after changing prl? Do some more searching and you'll find a program called qpst. Works for nexus, epic and Evo. Good luck.

Um, you are confusing people by omitting the part where you don't have access to Sprint's network.

So yes you'll get some testy replies when people are trying to help and you make them look dumb.

1) sorry if posting in a particular forum doesn't give the impression that i would be using that particular phone.

2) i have virtually zero access to anybody's network at the moment, so i wasn't really sure it was worth mentioning.

3) i didn't set out to make anybody "look dumb", but if it's happened, it was unintentional.

Edit: thank you for the last bit of clarification, though. i suspect i need to find a way to make the initial tower connection, then hand off to a verizon tower.

This is how to pull PRL

Load QPST, under Start Clients menu, select Service Programming.

Click Read from Phone and enter MSL (000000).

Then Save to file. This will save a .qcn and .rl0 file.

In QPST, under Start Clients menu, select RL Editor.

In RL Editor, load your .rl0 file. Go to File, Save As..., make sure type is *.prl and enter a file name.

Just thought I'd letcha'all know that I did some travelling again this weekend and got over 1,300KB per second down natively on Sprint, a feat (if you've been following this thread lately) I recently mirrored a few weeks back on a previous "field trip", but never locally.

Why can't they just make it work close to where I live and commute? Even verizon wireless only tops out at about 300-400KB per second down, and usually lower, but that may be attibutable to the fact that the test was run indoors and the Verizon signal's frequency may not be as able to penetrate walls as well.

In a way I think it's ok. Sprint didn't give me the 4g they kept promising. And even though I want the new evo lte, there's no sense in me having yet another phone that I can't get 100% out of.

Depending on your location, traffic may dip considerably on the weekends. I see that a lot when I look at towers around my customers' locations. That may not be a representative sample, since my customers are all corporate and government accounts, so I'm mostly looking at towers in downtown or industrial neighborhoods. But when I first started noticing the difference I was surprised at how predictably it varies between the weekdays and weekends.

And capacity / traffic is a major factor to 3g speeds. There's no reason why the CDMA rev A network can't give you 1-2MB, at least in theory (I used to get that every morning from around 6:30 am to 8:30 or so). But capacity / signal strength limits it in real world use. It's my understanding that LTE is much more spectrally efficient, so that shouldn't be such a constraining factor once more and more traffic gets offloaded to new phones like the EVO LTE.
