Yeah. I have the 3023 prl and I have 3G in my area I'm in Warren MI and I'm getting 3G days and symbol. I hope I can help. Warren is really close to Detroit

what are your data speeds have you done a speed test. Cause i can get a 3g icon but not data and a really bad signal.

 

[StaphaLDB]

No. I havent done a speed test
But I know my connection data is still 1x speeds sadly. My connection goes in ranges of -70 to -110 when I know 3g speeds are -160 and above

So really its no 3g cause Metro voice calls will alwyas drop to 1x even if your on a 4g phone until they make the switch to voLTE anyways. So that 3g icon your getting is just a fluke i have gotten the same thing in some areas my guys is that they might be in the process of turning on EVDo coverage now its been a month or so since i tried any of these prls but just flashed an evo to metro and am thinking about trying it out. thats if i can get the ports to show up sometime soon.

southfield is full blown 3g. work right in the middle of it and i get 3g coverage all day. i actually get 3g coverage until i hit 696 and i75 with my admire on prl 3025 i forced on.

Not having much luck in Macomb County.

I've tried prl 3020, 3024, 3025

Best I've had was intermittent 3G while driving but nothing at home yet. Interesting that its better in the city/Southfield areas. I think downriver is good as well.

I've haven't had any luck either I work right in the middle of downtown. I have an evo on metro I've tried all the prl files on aosp roms and sense. I know the coverage is changing rapidly though. I looked at the coverage on the sensorly map like two weeks ago and there was only a couple evdo towers in downtown and various other areas. But looked again yesterday and the lodge from telegraph to 94 has 4/4 evdo coverage. And a bunch of other areas like siuthfield. Ypsilanti. Dearborn. So hopefully its everywhere soon. With as much as that map on the sensorly app changed pretty much over night. It shouldn't be long. Ill be happy with even 300kbps.down. check out that app. I didn't see much out macomb county way though. Btw what phones and roms are getting the 3g.
