Help PRL post thread (Current PRL 3036)

[demarsjcd]

Heres my results. The highest speed I've had was some where around 3800. These were tested in the same location and in a short period of time. I also played with the cdma roaming selection in the settings tab. The automatic setting turned out to be the best. Here ya go. Oh and 3026 was slower than 3025 as you can see in the picture.

I've forced updated mine to 3025 and went from 1500 to 3200kbps. Definitely worth it. However the instructions on how to do it on the thread are very scattered. beggers can't be choosers though. One question, when selecting roaming in the setting, duo you set it to automatic or MetroPCS?

Leave it on Metro only.

I get those same speeds on 3019 and hit over 4000

I got 3G now! SWEEET! As soon as I updated to the latest PRL, I got the 3G symbol instead of the 1X, but it still seems kind of slow thought. I'm downloading speedtest and going to check out the speeds. I'm happy I finally got 3G!

Home is the BEST.

Automatic is only when you know you're traveling outside the metropcs 'home' coverage network.

Otherwise, if you're in the metropcs home tower coverage, keep it on home.

If you have it on automatic while in the home coverage area you can notice delays in txt/pic msg and voicemails also voice may not work correctly because the phone is fighting for what towers to use.

I woke this morning to OTA 3026 on my phone. Tested it at work outside Lakeland, FL showing 3G and got .96mbit up and .41 down.

I have pro 3014 if anyone wants it

I'm going back to 3025. 3026 is a piece of crap. seriously barely makes it to 1.5 mb, sometimes its even under 1mb. w t f....... i was getting 3.5 with prl 3025

 

[JayBondzeWell]

can i have prl 3014?

 

[Prime85]

can i have prl 3014?

Sure ill upload it when I get to my computer. I doubt you will get 4g with.it though

I wish Western MA would get 4G for MetroPCs. Grrrrrrrr That's all I want for Christmas is 4G! lol

 

[JayBondzeWell]

well. the samsung my friend has uses 4G and runs great

 

[juan12456]

which is the best PRL? 3026 turned out to be pretty crappy. At least for me.

 

[JayBondzeWell]

Its between 3019 and 3025 for me atleast.

 

[ShinySide]

3018, 3019, and 3026 have worked great for me.

 

[kanaida]

I updated to 3026, it worked fine and in fact I still have great 4G signal, but something strange is happening. Anytime I make an outbound call, I head the pre-recorded operator lady saying:
"thank you", "thank you", "thank you" over and over...

can't seem to make any calls or receive them. any ideas? I'm not quite sure if that's the issue here.

 

[JayBondzeWell]

thats quite odd indeed. why not try to use lgpnst to put it in and see if u see a difference

 

[juan12456]

I live in Miami, FL and for some reason when i do a speed test in my neighborhood it recognizes Atlanta, GA as the closest server. anyways here is my result, this was done about 10 minutes ago

 

[califathug13]

does any one else get the same speed in 3g and x1

 

[ShinySide]

Yeah. Just about every does.

 

[Jeyd02]

Woah. I don't know if you haven't notice but i really have notice a improvement with the 4g. I'm getting mostly full bar even at area where metro is not covering 4g. Amazing !!!!

Maybe I'm missing something.. Checked under Network and Wireless settings and all i have are the options of MetroPCS or Automatic.. Running PRL 3026 and the B update if that makes a difference.. Was gonna see if it works better at my house as i have 0-1 bar here generally inside..

Well yeah. Metro is refereed the home network as in, metroPCs home network
