why cant you update ? i have no idea how to pull the prl from the phone sorry

Right? How do pull the PRL.....anyone?

menu/settings/system updates/prl

Updating your PRL is not going to mess up your root at all. The only thing it could affect, is switching back to selecting sprint towers instead of altell towers, if you were using that altell hack.

I am new to Sprint and only been on Android for a few months now, but what is PRL and profile under system updates?

PRL stands for Preferred Roaming List. Basically it tells the phone which towers to connect to while roaming.
Profile has been explained to me as like a soft data reset to your account, sort of like resetting your router.
Anyone else care to add anything?

Thanks for the explanation...

Damn, I was hoping this would somehow fix my service. I lost 3G service around here a few days ago when a strong thunderstorm came through, I guess a tower is just down. It's weird, 2.1 roms still say 3G (with my bars showing the roaming triangle) while 2.2 roms show 1X instead of EvDo (while showing EvDo while I'm not at home). On either rom, my speeds are **** while I'm at home.

Looks like mostly changes in Mexico..

Has anyone else had an issue where after the PRL is updated, the screen turns black, all that works is the home button, and if you open any menu or setting, a black screen pops up saying that your PRL has been updated, and when you hit OK, you just go back to the black screen?
The only solution I've found is rebooting the phone.

Nope. Just did an update with no problems.

Should you this if you are running Damage control rom or will it affect root/rom?

no it will not effect root or anything like that. I think all it can do is effect how your phone connects to the towers.

Thanks updated and rebooted so far looks good it is funny becuase i am going to mexico next week

thanks for the heads up

[Q] Market Apps Won't DL W/O Wifi

Hi guys, I am having a problem with downloading apps through cellular data on my mytouch 4g. I can download them fine if I am on wifi but it gets stuck on "starting download" progress bar without it. I've tried clearing the data for the market app, restoring it back to factory, and the google talk sign in; none of these worked for me. This is driving me crazy and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update: Fixed nvm

How did you fix it?

yeah how you fixed it would be nice as mine is doing the same thing... ugh wish t-mo could have just brought a legit phone out

Turn On Wifi
Even if there is no wifi connection, on my MT4G the wifi has to be enabled for the market to download.

I think this may be fixed on the new update that came out today. I still haven't seen my update yet. :-( mine still does this too.

Go into settings/wireless networks/mobile network or operator and select Tmobile network. Even it is checked select it and make sure your phone is gsm/wcdma checked. WCDMA only created problem for me. Also if you have temp root you will not get the update as long as it is running on your phone. In addition, if you disabled any bloatware you have to restore it before the update. Once I disabled Visionary and restored back to factory I got the update in a couple of hours.

This is a really weird problem but it has to do something with the connection to the google servers (mainly google talk). This is evident by the fact that you are signed off and can not connect to google talk when you're stuck on the starting download phase of downloading the app(s). There are two ways around this problem that I've seen so far
1. Before you want to download an app, run google talk and make sure you're signed in, then sign out and sign in again. Go download the app(s) afterwards. Once you do this after you first power on the phone, it should last until you power it off.
2. Another way is go and try to download an app(s) you want and it will be stuck on the starting download bar. DO NOT cancel the download, just restart the phone and it should start downloading once the phone is back on.
P.S. The update did not fix this issue because I still have to deal with it.
If I learn anything new, I will keep you posted.

I got the update with Superuser and root just fine.

Not to rub it in, but I'm really glad that I am not experiencing this problem. I'm liking the phone too much to have a reason to bring it back!

Ok I have found out that the Google talk sign out sign in trick does not always work while the restarting one always works. It definitely is something to do the Google servers and the way the phone syncs with them. What I found interesting is that when you open the market app, immediately experience this problem as you can not sync under accounts settings and services like Google talk stop working. Another thing is that it seems to be the HSPA and HSPA+ connections causing the issue, the apps won't dl on them but it will start immediately as your phone drops to edge. I don't know if this is a hardware, software issue with the phone or the Google servers getting adjusted to the mytouch 4gs since they just came out.
Think I'm going to exchange my phone since not a lot of people have this problem.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but i'm now having this issue aswell. I've tried to clear data, can't download on Wifi or 3g. When i click ok it just says the download will be started and nothing happens, Sometimes if i play around i can get it to go to say starting download but just sits there then i will get either a network error to retry or cancel. Sometimes it's just a download unsuccessful and i click ok.
I tried resetting aswell and still same issue. Not sure how to sign out of google talk.. haven't quit got the hang of android yet but i'm actually not happy right now!

Help with epic

I have never had this problem before or read about it. I keep wifi on at my house cause it's faster. Well tonight I went to plug my phone in and I took it off wifi but my 3G won't come up. I've tried everything. Pulled battery out, went to airplane mode and then back tried to update prl. I can't get my 3G to come back on. I have an app called quick settings that I've had for a long to turn off my 3G to save battery and it just says connecting.I've deleted the app and downloaded it back again and nothing. This has never happened to me before. How can I get. My Internet back? I am really lost on this one. It's like it's locked up and wont come back on. Thanks. By the way I have just about full reception.

You might have to do a factory reset. Before you do wait a bit and see if anyone has other ideas.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm on 2.1 and rooted but nothing has changed on my phone for at least 2 wks. No new apps or anything. Will factory resetting break my root?

Wait a while. This has happened to me on occasion and it has nothing to do with anything I did.

Check with sprint to see if there's a data outage in your area. Or you can try traveling to a different location to see if you get 3g somewhere else and then update your profile/prl from there. I had the same experience with a similar app. Went to an area where I got 3g, called sprint, and they updated my profile. Try doing that to see what happens.

I let it try it all night last night and woke up and still no 3g at the top. i can turn wifi on and it works fine. it just wont bring up the 3g icon and when i look in the quick settings it is greyed and says connecting. ill wait til i leave the house today and try it later. i just dont think its gonna work it just seems like the 3g is locked since it wont even displays the icon but hopefully im wrong thanks for the help guys. i know what you mean b3nny but my phone wont even displays the 3g icon at the top. i would assume if there was an outage it would still display the icon at the top.m,y wife has a hero and her internet is fine so no outage. thanks for trying to help but i think a factory restore is my only option. im about ready to go get to sprint and get another epic.

if i go to sprint and show them my phone i have insurance but this should go thru the manufacturers warranty. would i get a new or refurb one? i know if you use the insurance you get a refurb but what about the warranty? its not only this reason but my phone freezes a lot and will back out of an application for no reason at all. im just done with this one. there has to be one that works better than this one.thanks

Is your 3G Data enabled in the settings?
Not completely sure if it applies to 2.1 as I am running 2.2, but try and go to: 'Menu->Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile networks' and see if the box is checked by '3G Data'. Again, I am running 2.2, so I dont know if it is exactly the same, but worth a check.

[Q] Turning off "cell" radio NOT wireless 3G radio...

Hello everyone..
here is my problem....
I no longer have cellular service from sprint, lets say sprint disconnected it...
ok so i have my evo and a bunch of things i can still do with it.
but! why is it that i cant turn off just the "cellular" radio without it going into plane mode? keep in mind im not talking about "go into wireless mode and uncheck mobile" that only turns off 3g and leaves the phone COMPLETELY ON.
i mean, i dont have the service why do i still have to put it in airplane mode (and on evo's you cant use bluetooth while on that mode)
is there an apk that i can delete so the "phone" feature is gone and no longer shows my the strength bars without the need for airplane mode? its annoying to have to turn on my "PMP" and have to see the airplane on there.

you can use titanium backup to uninstall the phone, then keep mobile networks unchecked and your good to go
edit I think it may still search for signal

installing them wouldn't solve your problem, now I'm thinking delete the prl and set it to roaming only but that would drain the battery fast, that's a toughy, lemme think about it a bit
edit it would be easy if you didn't need bluetooth

Nope, there's no real way to do it. You bought a phone, not an iPod. Live with Airplane mode or get service.

you could kill the radio process in os monitor, unsure of its exact name though
edit ill 2nd dr on this one, theres no good way

Get the app "Network" by Mangelow. It has a button to turn off just the radio.

I was looking for something like this too. In an area with very little signal, having the radio on is just annoying because it never gets signal, so it drains battery forever, even more because it is constantly scanning. This is perfect for that.
Now if someone could make a widget for this switch...

How does the battery drain? If sprint disconnected your phone it won't keep searching for a network. I have my old phone that laid for over 5 days without charge when I hot my evo... that was both the moment and intercept

It will still actually be connected to the network, you just wont be able to make calls or get texts. This is required for all cell phones, so you can still call 911, or call the carrier to re-activate the phone if you ever want to.

[Q] Need to bypass Blur Setup after reset

I had played with the Gingerblur and decided to reset to stock and ran the uninstall, all was good.
I then did a factory reset, and it came back with the motoblur setup. When I entered my info it tells me "Clock error, contact customer service"
If I can get PAST the screen, I can reinstall gingerblur or something.. this is rediculous.
If I can't bypass the screen, can I get to where i can set the device in debug mode to update the device?
any help greatly appreciated.
**UPDATE**
Tried yet again to connect with my motoblur account. But didn't let it use wifi this time and it won't even connect over the Cell connection at all. Could this be related to the push earlier? I didn't get the push .. hell if I know whats wrong with the darn thing.

I think you choose just press menu and you're able to skip it.

no luck. you can edit APN settings and dial emergency, set USB mode and Wireless.. nothing else.

Resolution
Turns out the issue with the clock was an inability to connect. Somewhere between uninstalling Gingerblur and the default hard reset, the APN got deleted, and I had to rely on Wifi only.
Problem is I am in a hotel during the week, and this Wifi requires a web based log in to get an outside IP. So I drove around till I found an open Wifi.. and Moto let me log in and get past setup.
once that was done, had to readd the wap.cingular to the APN.
all works now.. what a pita.

sounds like it was a bad flash, I would suggest that if anyone else runs into this they try reflashing the 1.2.6 sbf

going to wait a week or so to see the progress of ROMS.. had it 6 days and if I brick it, the wife MAY shoot me dead.
Since Gingerblur isn't a full ROM replacement tho, it was fairly easy to remove it all to stock, even with the issues, which I know to look for now.
dont do a backup without solid wifi! in case the APN gets nailed
