There is a new PRL 60671 just a heads up.
Good. Time to go back to a ****Sense rom so I can apply it.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
have you noticed any significant benefits ?
Is there a way to do this on CM6?
nope - you need to flash a sense rom or a nandroid of one to be able to do this - but you can flash right back to cm6
Thanks for the heads up got it

Because I use fire rats mod I will hold off on this till word gets back that its making significant improvements

Nandroiding to a stock sprint sense rom will require a wipe, or no. What about Nandroiding back to cm6, wipe or no?
How often do they do this?
Thanks
With 60671 I get a lot of 1x instead of Ev in the times I usually get maybe 1 bar of Ev. In general I see a lot more 1x than I did before.

Yes it does require a wipe... the great thing about nandroid is you can always go back and even tho you wiped your nandroid will bring it back but you don't need to wipe to apply a nandroid. So always keep a sense rom in backup so you can get prl and pri updates.

Complete opposite here, I used to sit on ~70-75dB signal strength. Now I stay around ~67-72dB
never mine...... i found it....

Just updated prl and found 60666 is available to all.
That is all. Have a good day
Just updated as well. I hope they come out with 69667 soon. As of right now I'm trying to decide if my phone is the devil or if its gonna die soon and go straight to hell. Lol

List of changes is over on Howard Forums. Looks like only a couple cities in VA and NC were changed, so if you don't plan on going there no real reason to update.

I beg to differ as the last PRL jacked my hero up, i had virtually no signal and it went into roam all the time. So far this one works great for me and im in the great lakes area.

You have to do the ##775# thing enter your msl code choose the prl and update it.
I am guessing on Darchs rom that is not an option tho since the ## codes do not work. At least you guys have the fastest rom right?
I believe my service has improved since I installed this PRL. It could be all in my head but last night I had full service which is not a normal thing for me...
I'll have to see if it was a fluke thing or if it actually improved my service.
(Upland, CA near LA)
Wow, updating this PRL completely hosed my phone. My data connection keeps dropping continuously now, and I am going into roaming. This is at work where I have always had 3-4 bars. I can't even run a speedtest, because my data will drop down to 1X every time I try. I tried updating again (thinking I got a bad flash) and the same thing is happening.
By the way, this is happening on a stock .6 Sprint Rom with only Sprint bloatware removed.
Edit: Nevermind. It turns out the tower right by my work was having problems all morning. I thought it was because of the PRL update I did last night right before I went to bed. Turns out my coworkers on Sprint were having the exact same issues. The tower problem was fixed this afternoon, and all is well now.
How can I pull my PRL off my phone without relying on others to post the or from a website?
I want to be able to have backups on my SD card.

lol I read somewhere that it was actually 616 as the mark of the beast... or something other than 666. But who knows... But yea, I want a backup cause I have been messing with PRL's and sometimes the built in feature to auto update doesn't update. It's easier just to do it myself.
Also, did you know on your phone that 666 also spells MOM? Back in the day of pagers and stuff when I was 14-15, I had a pager and when my mom would page me..She'd put 666 so that I would it was mom paging me...I don't think she ever realized she was putting 666 every time.
I recently had an aria sent for repair to at&t. upon receipt of the phone they hed installed froyo 2.2.2! 10 is there a rom I can flash over this or 2) is there a way of putting the phone back to 2.1?
I need to do this in order to turn the prox. sensor off. I was able to do this using cm7 but can't seem to re-flash cm7 with 2.2.2 being installed.
You can't revert back. Pretty much stuck with 2.2.2, sorry.

No. There's nothing you can do on your own now.
The only option you have left is purchasing a piece of equipment that plugs into your phone which can root it, or send your phone to someone who has the hardware and will do it for you. Specifically I'm talking about the "good news" part of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12908295&postcount=43.
For now I would just suggest waiting a few days and check back for details once they are worked out.
I would call AT&T in anger and disgust and demand they give you a new phone for updating yours without your permission!
I wonder if you can tell them not to update, just fix said problem.

That thread will allow you to downgrade the ROM back to the official 2.1 release, but it will not allow you get gain root access and install ClockworkMod which is needed to install a custom ROM like CM7.
Hey everyone. I'm having issues with my wifi disconnecting a lot on my myTouch 4G, which is a pretty big problem for me considering I don't get great signal in my apartment so I rely on Wifi Calling. I've updated my router firmware (Linksys WRT54G) and have it secured with WPA2 with TKIP+AES. My phones wifi sleep policy is set to "never", and I'm starting to get a little irritated. I'm using a new SIM card so I don't believe that to be an issue. Does anyone have any ideas? I feel like I'm a pretty tech savvy person so this really gets on my nerves. Any help will be much appreciated.
What rom? What kernel?
If you are on stock... my wife had that issue. Wifi was constantly dropping. She finally let me root it and now she's in love with royal Ginger.
I tried everything I could.... was easier to just root it and go aosp.
Sorry I can't be more help, but that was my experience with stock.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Oops I'm sorry, I forgot that information isn't in my signature here on XDA yet. I'm running Stock, but I'm already perm rooted with s-off so flashing a ROM is something I've considered, but other than the wifi issue I have no problems with stock. Does Royal Ginger have a functioning wifi calling app? That's a must have for me as I live in a black hole of cell phone reception. Not one single carrier gets reception in this apartment. At best you bounce between 1 and 0 bars.
I've just wondered if maybe the wpa_supplicant file could be the culprit? Is that something that has changed in Royal Ginger or other third party ROMS, like a different version of the file?
I'm in the same boat as you. Middle of the woods here. My wifi and I both rock royal Ginger. Or CM. Depends on the day.
Wifi calling works great with royal ginger
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Hmmm, maybe I should give that a try that. I already have clockworkmod recovery so it's not like I have a whole long way to go to flash RoyalGinger... Up until this point I've never been much of a ROM flasher though so I guess I better read up on all that needs to be done. I assume of course I should do a nandroid backup or two just to be safe, backup with Titanium, wipe my sd card and then flash through clockwork? Anything you'd add that I'm missing?
Thanks for your reply by the way. Wifi Calling is such a must for me that I'd hate to flash a shiny new ROM then realize it's missing.

be carefull restoring apps and data via titanium... froyo and gingerbread roms use different ext partitions and there have been some problems lately that may or may notbe related to this... im not saying it is, but this is the theory that i and other devs have been pondering
Well at first like a big idiot I restored "all" data. I realized what I'd done while it was restoring but it was too late. I did a factory reset and cleared the cache and set it up again but this time just with missing apps and data. Been smooth sailing so far but if I start to have issues maybe I'll just skip the titanium restore and just reinstall, as awful as that sounds haha.
Oops edit never mind, i miss read.
Maybe try static ip address.

Has anyone else had issues calling outside of the Sprint network on CM7? I flashed the stock EVO ROM and after an hour or so I was able to make calls. However, when I restore my backup, still no calling outside the Sprint network.. (and not even in the network at times.)
Thank you,
SC
Have you tried wiping cache/davlik and re-flashing CM7?
I havent had any problems with Cyanogen since I rooted in March.
Cache/Dalvik wiped but it didn't work. I'll re-flash CM7.. don't want to reconfigure anything. But, being able to actually use my phone I guess is a good thing. lol
SC
I am going to try and wipe data as well... if that doesn't work... back to the stupid sense rom.
I think I might cry.
SC
<--- This guy is going to cry. Flashed CM7 and wiped data... No dice. I'm going to do some more work on it to try and figure out what's going on.
Link to post one CM forums: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/28341-issues-with-sprint-service/
I'm going to bet you are having network issues in your area. The fact it took an hour for it to even work after flashing a sense rom tells me right there it isn't rom related. Best bet is to restore your cm7 nandroid and see how it is in the morning.

Hey. Im just wondering which custom rom is thew best right now?
Srf 1.2.0 or if your going for gingerbread I still like acs bamboozled
sent from my epic 4g. with the key skips.
They are ALL good. Just depends on what you want.
Why do so many people ask the same question? It is like the exact same question and nothing has changed in over a month. Best ROM is ALWAYS a matter of opinion and what works for you. Just read the threads for each ROM and find out what problems it comes with and what improvements are in there and decide if it is right for you. Some wipe all bloatware and Sprint apps, some don't, some have themes and some don't....gotta read.
Yup, its all about personal preference. Also, ROMs behave differently on each phone. I couldn't get SRF 1.0 or 1.1 to work right ever on my Epic but 1.2 works great. Yiu really have to try them out

Best that I've Used
The best ROM that I have used is the ERA OLYMPUS ROM. It feels very stable and is extremely fast. It might be a placebo but it feels like the GB ROMs are much snappier than stock Froyo. I did change out the theme on the ROM though. The Stockish ROM was cancelled but the ACE theme that is linked to on the page looks really nice. I also flashed Chris' updated EH17 Plus kernel onto this. so far I've had to redo the ROM a few times but that has been mostly due to my own negligence, such as swapping SD cards with my friend's Droid X about 20 times in one day while trying to help him fix it. One good thing is that I may only have a random reboot 2 or 3 times a day. I can deal with that. Overall I really like this ROM and it is just as good as any stock OTA GB that may come out in the future.
I haven't tried many, but I have SRF 1.2 now, and it's awesome. Well worth it to try it out IMO.
I did a search for SRF and nothing came uP??

You can flash the zip anytime, on or off. I am not sure exactly how it works, but basically with it off anytime your battery dies, or comes out or phone shuts off any way other than holding power, when you restart you will have uncontrollable force closes. With it on you lose a pinch of performance (not really noticeable) but you will not worry about the force close issue in case anything happens.
Most of us suggest having it on.

Journaling costs you a little speed but helps you data from getting corrupted in case of a bad shutdown, bad flash, battery falls out, ect. I always turn journaling on.

thanks for the response.
believe it or not, I actually haven't had any unplanned shut downs since flashing to SRF 1.2 (along w/Genocide 1.1) a few months back but, lately (as in the last few days), I've noticed that my battery performance has really dropped. in addition, my phone has exhibited some occasional flakey behavior: one in particular is making a phone call, seeing that I'm connected (call timer starts ticking away), but hearing total silence. the person on the other end receives a call from me but they can't hear a damn thing from my end. this problem is only corrected with a reboot or shut down. I was curious if my not having journaling enabled could be accounting for any of it. like I said, these issues are recent, and I do live in an area now with considerably worse Sprint coverage than before. For example, in my apartment, I can't even get a reliable Sprint signal. Without my Airvana (which has huge issues with maintaining a consistent lock onto the GPS) I couldn't even really use my phone without roaming on Verizon.
anyway, just a bunch of stuff that's been bugging me and I'm not entirely sure what to do about it.
Sometimes booting into recovery and wiping Cache partition and Dalvik Cache will free up the performance. Its my understanding that over time it can build up causing lag or stuttering..well general performance loss. Anyhow, here's the journal on zip in case you need it..

Honestly ReVolt, SRF 1.2 and Urban Regeneration are all great. Regen is themed blue with apps added and some custom sounds, ReVolt is leaner with a custom kernel based off of Genocide 2.0, SRF 1.2 has a lot of under the hood tweaks that I am not familiar with. Revolt has Hotspot hack baked in lasted version. It is a flashable add on for the other two. They are all excellent choices
