PRL & HOW TO MAKE SMS AND MMS D/LOAD FASTER
1 Open your Boost Mobile's settings and touch “About Phone.” Touch "System Updates,” and then Touch “Update PRL” and wait for the process to complete. By updating your preferred roaming list, or PRL, you can help your phone to connect to the correct cell tower. When your phone is connected to the nearest tower, messages are downloaded faster.wifi needs to be off and connected thru 3g
2 Pull the battery out of your Boost Mobile phone while it is still on. Reinsert the battery after one minute. Doing this soft-resets your phone. Applications on the phone can sometimes cause the phone to process data at a slower pace. When you reset the phone, only applications needed for the phone to work restart.
3 Ensure your phone is within the Boost Mobile network. If the signal strength indicator is fewer than two bars on your phone, move to a different area. The stronger your signal is, the quicker the messages will download to your phone.
Now also update your prl while your there.
Rooting (Android OS)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rooting is a process allowing users of
smartphones,
tablets, and other devices running the
Android operating system to attain
privileged control (known as "
root access") within Android's subsystem. Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that
carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized
apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. Rooting is analogous to
jailbreaking devices running the Apple
iOS operating system or the Sony
PlayStation 3. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system.
As Android was derived from the
Linux kernel, rooting an Android device is similar in practice to accessing administrative permissions on
Linux or any other
Unix-like operating system such as
FreeBSD or
OS X.
or you just have a shitty signal where your at.
