Whats the latest PRL for the S3 in the CA. Mainly the Bay Area (San Jose)
I'm currently at 2032. Metro has been no help, I even tried updating w/ *228. PRL still remains the same. I've been stuck on 3G for almost two days now in areas that are known 4G areas. Any tips?
 
That is the latest prl try calling metro and have them reset your account also they been working on towers so that might be another issue
 
i understand the confusion on my sgs3 the prl is 2032 also

but on my lg esteem its 3032

and those are both updated so i think metro is using different prl numbers for different phones now, im not sure don't quote me but it seems that way...
 
Yes.. Already had my account refreshed. Even with Black Bean or CM10, I have continual 3G. My sister works for MetroPCS, so I nag her with every little issue. I asked if towers were being updated, but thats something she has to ask the network team tomorrow.
She has an LG Connect, PRL version 3032. So it seems like different phones have their own PRLs.
According to her manager, he wants me to bring it in so they can diagnose it with their new software. I question this "new software". So worse case scenario, I'll hard brick my phone and get a new one.

I think it just gives the s3 more network & roaming perks than the other phones
 
How long have you had the phone? Has it ever went to 4g. I had a similar problem when I got mine. Metro had the wrong Sim card number in there computers
 
Ok... seems like I fixed it. I restored my phone back to its original out of the box state (the importance of creating/storing a back up)
Removed the SD card and went into SETTINGS-BACK UP & RESET-FACTORY DATA RESET.
My S3 did its thing and voila, 4G back. PRL still 2032. Mobile Network Type is no longer EVDO and now is LTE:14.

I then restored it back to my "debloated" back up and 4G remains intact and working great.
