I live in Maryland and as of 11:30 I have no 3g. Does anyone know if there is a way to check on 3g outages? Thankfully I have roam control and am able to at least use verizon's 1x. I need 3g!

New Jersey here and my 3G is working on sprint.
Try rebooting?
I'm in arlington and 3g is working here, sorry if that doesn't help but its close to maryland

Rebooted, switched radio on and off no luck. My radio is good because when I switch to verizon's tower using roam control I get 1x data. Slow but it something.

Good to hear. Too bad we don't have 4G yet. Lol.

You're telling me. Its really annoying to know that there is 4g just 20 minutes down the road.

Was a known issue, though I was told it was only supposed to affect EVO's 3g. I'll inquire tomorrow, but I doubt I'll get anywhere.

I have a Evo. Unfortunately 4G is acting like a "B" also :-(
r0cky.Da.3v0.SU
Mine went down to here in Cincinnati OH, right in the middle of streaming the game. (4g picked it right back up though)
I had full bars, and without moving I had nothing for a good 10 minutes before deciding to switch to the battery-draining 4g.

thanks. I called sprint yesterday and first tier support tried to insist I hard reset my Epic,even though i told them I have three Epics and an Evo and were all seeing same problem. I called second tier directly and they told me there were network issues and not to reset.

For future reference - do you have a direct number for them, or is it the usual "I want to speak to level two"?
Even Sprint employees don't have a direct line for them, they got rid of that last year. That being said, the EVOs were having data connectivity issues, and somehow it expanded into the Epic, Moment and Hero as well, but in a more limited scope.
Says it updated and radio needs to be reset, still on 60676 though. Running latest ACS

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.

New PRL is out, 60679.
Apparently Sprint's network is messing up too as I can make calls out but almost all incoming ones get an out of service tone.
Well I just got it here. Hope I dont have those issues you mentioned.
Looking forward to seeing changes were made once someone compares this to.the older prl.

Isn't that the different PRL they pushed out to business customers or something like that, that happened awhile ago and we all were trying to figure out why some ppl had the extreme odd # PRL?
got 60679. bronx, ny.
01115 in Portland, Oregon
60679 in New Orleans.
If you have a 01115 PRL, then you're not going to be getting 60679

Man for the last 4 months the network has been trashed and I'm tired of the b/s lies and I wanna leave I just can't afford etf on both lines plus last bill, then switch to another carrier, if anyone here knows how I can use a roaming app to force roaming, that way sprint will just terminate my lines etf free? But still not rack up massive charges. And will the esn numbers be bad then?

Sprint is in a transition phase to LTE and in the process has stopped improving backhaul and deploying new 4G. If any Sprint employee wants to disagree with this I would invite you to leak some info, because we haven't had a network related news update since December 2010 that mentions there network status.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
What is so good about LTE?
Evo SHIFT
so if we want out of sprint we can flash to vz prl list and they kick you off i am sooooo done with sprint love the phone but omg sprint come the hell on i cant even get 1 bar or .56 mbps in my town and thats on a good day most times i get .17 mbps last time i looked .56 is dial up speed
I still don't understand how the let go works but I'm done is all I know, I'm half tempted to just say screw em and not pay! That's how mad I am about their BS network
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
They'll kick you off if you roam more than 80% of the time but it'll take a couple of months before they decide to do that. I'm in great sprint coverage and I only pay 30 bucks a month for service so I can't complain... they'll never take this plan from me!!!
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA Premium App
Well my plan is 160 for 2 lines so yeah I'm just going to turn on roam control app 100% of the time sound like a plan?

fyi i have the roam app but i use open signal too phone says roaming but i am on sprint roam how do i roam off sprint
I hear ya! My 3g service blows!! I went to the coast a couple months ago i knew 4g wasnt gunna work but damn my 3g speed was retarded not even reaching 100 kbs i felt like i went back in time to some sort of dial up phone lmfao! But yeah also when i go down my street to a certain area it always tells me international roaming!! Wtf is that! I didnt know i had a border on my street hah

so question is how to force roam i have app and it roams on sprint
I recently left table when the shift came out and I have to admit Sprint suck and I live in a 4G area

Just noticed my phone updated itself to PRL 60685.....
My phone is now much smoother, battery life is way better, and I get 7 bars service.

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.
