60676 is currently the newest PRL update.

I know, and we've had it for a while. Just wondering why an update was sent out and why did my phone tell me it was updated if I was already running it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

No clue. From what I've read, Sprint is having issues with it.

Just happened to me, too. Makes no sense.

It's weird how only some phones does it and some phones not. My wife have an Epic as well, and her doesn't have any errors when trying to update her PRL. Hard to tell, but from what I've read, people are stating it's Sprint. Even read some people bringing in their phones to a repair center and got a replacement phone. I really don't care about PRL updates at the moment, so I don't want to bring in my phone to a repair center and being hassles by them.

happened to me too...im still on 60676 tho...the update never finished...i waited an hour, then just decided to reboot...weird...

I just manually changed it to 01115 to keep 3G roaming in Florida and those bastiches at Sprint woke me at 4AM with the signal beep to change me back to 60676!

I'm in New England and still on 60675.
When trying to update sometimes it returns an error, sometimes no new PRL found.

Yup ... Saw a thread about a new PRL ... Figured I'd try ... also went back to the "normal" schema ..

Only difference is I can roam on a Verizon tower out here but I'm in a dense slow Sprint 3g area lol.

Went from 60679 to 60680 this morning. Now my texts are going through and I'm not roaming in the middle of a.sprint 4g area! Huzzah!

Agreed. I wonder what changes these holds.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

The 1115 is the business customers PRL, in the TN/N Ga area it's been causing big issues, so they were manually reverting phones so that service wouldnt suck so much. I guess corporate finally agreed it was a problem.

Only reason I ask is cause what my phone should do and what it actually does is way different sometimes.

Thanks
Still dreaming bout faster speeds.
I laugh when I see people saying they have slow speeds at 3 mbps down and 1-1.5 mbps up. And I get .15-.3 kbs down and up speed is usually double that, on a good day.
Anyway, just checking

PRL
(Preferred Roaming List)
The PRL is a list of information that resides in the memory of some kinds of digital phones. It lists the radio frequencies the phone can use in various geographic areas.
The part of the list for each area is ordered by the bands the phone should try to use first. Therefore it's a kind of priority list for which towers the phone should use.
The PRL helps determine which home-network towers to use, and also which towers belonging to other networks to use in roaming situations (areas where the home network has no coverage.) When roaming, the PRL may instruct the phone to use the network with the best roaming rate for the carrier, rather than the one with the strongest signal at the moment.
Since a PRL tells the phone "where" to search for a signal, as carrier networks change over time, an updated PRL may be required for a phone to "see" all of the coverage that it should, both with the home network and for roaming.

PRL xxx80 News Flash

Action Required: PRL Update Required for Select IL, KY, TN and WI Counties
Sprint released National Preferred Roaming Lists (PRLs) ending xxx80 to servers on 7/13/11.
PRLs will provide continued roaming and Strategic Roaming Alliance (SRA) 3G/Mobile Broadband service for several counties in Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Wisconsin, when roaming partners make network channel changes on 7/22/11.

Customers with Mobile Broadband devices will need to update the PRL via Smartview to receive the release.
Refer to the Preferred Roaming List (PRL) NewsFlash for impacted counties and FAQs (ISC > Sales Resources > Coverage > CDMA Domestic and International Roaming).

Attached is the PDF with confidential information and details listing the updates that xxx80 PRL's provide.

I updated and I am in Phoenix Arizona

mine did too and im in central cali.

and for those that didn't know...you can find the full analysis of the PRLs at www.batonrougebroadband.info

WDM, do you know how often they try and push this? I think I've seen mine try to pick it up twice while at work but I'm always on roaming there because I can barely get Sprint signal inside my office. I'm still on 60676 and everytime I try to update manually I either get the usual 'internal error'/'unknown error' response or if I try it often enough, I get 'No PRL update available'. Do they ever push it overnight?

Im still on 60679 wondering if mine should update or not if I try and make it update it fails not sure why I have tried one method I have found on here to fix it but it did not work. Will they push it to me or is that disabled when running a custom ROM? I am running SFR 1.2. If anyone knows how to fix it let me know unless 60679 is what I am suppose to be on in Iowa.

You need to take your phone into a sprint store so they can manually load a newer prl, on your phone.

In suburban Houston, I'm not noticing any difference. Remember, updating your PRL only helps with roaming (Preferred Roaming List). Any differences you're seeing are probably a placebo effect. Unless you are roaming...
Off topic, I know they're turning on enhanced 3g in Atlanta, anyone know when/if Houston will? I know we're on the short list for LTE along with Atlanta, so my assumption is that we would also be for enhanced 3g.

Exactly this. If you roam a lot or have no signal a lot, and IF there was an updated tower from another carrier added to your roam list (PRL) you may roam and get signal. Otherwise it matters not. Digiblur usually has the list of additions to the list in his sig.

Could this have to do with Sprint activating the old iden nextel towers? Trying not to believe in the sugar pill effects too quickly but damn! At the house never peeked over 300k and the last three test have been 800k steady... hope it sticks anyway.

No because those towers would be considered Spint network towers and not Roaming towers. If they contracted to share more (or less) towers for roaming they change the list (PRL).

they must have improved a tower, or switched over an iden nextel tower to 3g cause I'm cooking now...just a coincidence about the prl. Pushing 800k to 1 meg all day now, could barely break 200k before. Now I don't have to rely on my wifi to browse! Anyway thanks all for the clarification.

Not exactly accurate. Whenever they make any changes regarding towers is when they release prl updates. They are not building new towers 6x a year. This prl update has a significant impact on the 1x issue I don't see it anymore

I must agree with some of the others. I too am experiencing faster data with this prl update. Before the update I had .5 meg. Now I get between 1.3 and 1.5 meg. I'm very pleased with this update. My location is in central Alabama.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

It isn't a list of towers
I am on cm7 with 11115, best prl for roaming btw, and can't pull the prl since I am travelling and need my phone. As soon as someone posts it I will do the diff.
I suspect the only real changes is the removal of Pioneer in OK from the native signal list.
