EVDO Zones

I overheard a metropcs representative explaining to one of the metro kiosk workers here in Port St. Lucie about how they are implementing 3G here. Can't wait!!!
 
Parts of Lake Wales, FL have like solid 3G. Not sure exactly where and the speeds though. I was mostly around the 27 and 60 area, where they cross. But the coverage goes pretty far south. Close, but not as far as highlands county, at least not where I've been.
Though i once picked up 3G in my house in Avon park for like 4 seconds. :D
Lol. I hope it keeps expanding, that would be great. Btw my prl is 3022.
 
Absolutely ****ing pitiful. Grabbed a spot of 3G in the middle of the ocean, did a speed test and I couldn't break 20kbps. -.- 20 kbps!! This is just an insult. 1x speed test was about 3g oddly.
 
Downtown Miami - South Miami - North Miami - Fort Lauderdale before Commercial Blvd - LIVE ON EVDO!!!! Initial reports show 1004kbps UNCAPPED!! this is beautiful. -> Waiting on more confirms and in the rest of Broward / Dade counties

not sure u said this but, most of broward county = completely capped. im talking about capped to a low ass speed.

id be happy as **** if i could get 1000kbps / 100kb/s anywhere with this phone

most of miami is capped as well.

Ya, 20kbps. I'd much rather stay at 1x than "3G". -.-
 
About to 2 weeks ago, i reported Tampa, FL had no 3G. Today i finally got a glimpse of 3g for the first time. It only lasted a few seconds though, and only seems to work when i reboot my system. lol

Heres the screen...

Add Jonesboro, ga to the list, capped though. Funny cause I work in Atlanta and it was off and on but soon as I step in the house immediately comes back and stays

The 130's are fro when I was at work on 1x

Yeah I'm getting flashes in Clearwater and largo
 
Yea tablet tweak is where that is located. I like it more like that. It stands out more next to other android phones without cm7
 
UGH, while I love the fact that my fellow M users are finally getting 3G I can't help but be jealous......no 3G here in Trenton,NJ as of yet but I'm still hopeful even if it gets switched on capped. It has to be better than 1x.
 
Yea insane, finally its lasting more then a few seconds..... looks like Tampa, FL is capped at 180kpbs down, and about 155kpbs. Which is WAY better then regular 1x.

Here are the screens i took a few minutes ago...

So i'm happy as a modaf*cker

NOTES:

Make sure you edit your build.prop..... That seem to do the trick. Also make sure you flash 3023.prl. That also seem to get it on and popping. Also do a few reboots and/or put it on airplane mode and then turn it back off and on. (you prob can just get a app to turn off your mobile connection, but i was a lil lazy)

In the build.prop you change

ro.ril.hsxpa=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=10

to

ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=12


What that does is makes the speed in download and upload faster. Forgot the source link, not sure where i saw it. Need it? Pm me, illl find it.



EDIT:
Just wanted to mention my girl has a LG OM that she has never rooted or flashed a rom on, or a prl for that matter and she has 3023 prl OTA, and has 3g. So, maybe if u either wait or do the *228 and update thru though you may get 3023.
 
News from WPB =

While I'm on a M835 (sadly), I am happy to report a capped rating of 120-200 kbps in the west palm area now depending on where i am :cool:

Not super- but better than the avg 60 kbps or so I was seeing for so long :D
 
Got 3G Evd0 in NY, Queens. The first time I got the 3G icon was with prl 3024, the coverage is getting better with prl 3025.

The top two are much faster than the 1xRTT but with a bad coverage (I can easily see how bad it is when I switch to evdo only). Usually the speed is around the one from 1xRTT (the bottom one is 1x and and the third on from bottom up is Evdo).

I will keep updating the prl, it looks like it helps.
