Help using a different PRL

Just wondering if anyone has found a pretty good PRL to use with the triumph.. i know that each one varies based on location. I just wanna know what everyone else uses. Ive tried about 5 or 6 of them and cant seem to find the right one..
 
Maybe if you include your general location, someone from nearby that has messed with that can give you an idea. Otherwise what works for one may do nothing for others.

you deff. need to state your location lol, and from what ive gathered from the other topics on here about this is, adjusting the prl doesnt automatically give you a better signal, it just increase your chances of picking up more towers, newer towers, older supposed offline but really not towers, and tower that were supposed to be multi-carrier tower that ended up not



im also interested if anyone in the Philadelphia area has found of any useful ones


and ill also off topic send a congrats to you agent, everytime i am typing my reply to a post to offer assistance to someone, when i click submit post i always see you replied right before me lol
 
I just put 60686 on mine, we'll see how it does this week. In VA. Hoping the change will remove the cell standby eating the battery.
 
I'm in Oklahoma City. I'm still on stock, but I'm guessing the latest sprint PRL would probably be the best. Is this true?

Also, what exactly does a different PRL do? It won't all you to roam will it? Will it cause you to get the higher priority of Sprint users and not the lower priority of VM users? (This may not actually exist, but I thought I had heard of it).

It won't let you roam, but it MIGHT let you connect to new towers. I don't think that there is a priority system in the way that you are saying, but I don't know for sure.
 
While we're checking different areas, anyone know of a PRL in Sacramento, CA, that would get better results than 61007?
 
haha sorry about that. and i know im late to the party. im using 61007. and im in dallas texas, at the moment i am in the middle of no where near the mexican boarder. and im tethering right now as i write this on my laptop. hands down. 61007 is really good!

edit: im tethering on ics 0.6.10.0 i think. lol
 
I'm on the stock 61007. I've tried all the other PRLs out there and this was the best... why? Because here in White Plains (10601), it is not the towers (I'm 200' from a tower). It is the capacity.

Peak hours I'm getting 30kbps down and 300kbps up, better to use dial-up LOL. :(

But at night, anywhere from 300kbps up/down to 800kbps.


So in short, mobile data is useless for me during the day, but usable at night.
 
Im using 60686 in LA area and on speedtest im getting 422ping 34kpbs DL and 131kbps UL with 3g at 1 bar, anyone have better results with other prl's in the LA area?
