No ****, well I feel dumb lol! Works like a charm.
Edit: berkmanmd I thanked you simply cause you only had 1!

Lol, me too.never had to reboot before.
Should I notice a difference in speed?
Only reason I ask is cause what my phone should do and what it actually does is way different sometimes.

Maybe a dumb question from a curious Swede, but is this the "NS4G GRJ90" OTA we've been waiting for? :S

No, just prl update

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.

Slow 3g speeds, something is wrong, tried everything!

Hi everyone, I am in a bit of a quagmire. I have an evo, on boost which was working very well. For some reason, i started to get connection errors, and for a while I struggled with error 67 and 104's. Got past that. Problem is that my 3g speed and connectivity suck, and by that I mean 900+ pings and .11-.13 in speedtest, not to mention the disconnecting. Sounds like a PRL issue right? Updated that yesterday (manually through cdma workshop obviously since im on boost) and still nothing, same speeds. Is this a settings issue? Is there something I am doing wrong? I am on a stock sense with root.
I am seriously considering selling the phone at this point. My iphone never gave me this kind of grief on simple.

Well then that's probably his problem, as the Evo is not meant to run on boost. Hacking it to run on another network is bound to give you problems.
First of all it was working fine until recently. That 50 page thread was basically edit the host file to 0000 which did nothing. Anyone wsnna contribute and not send me on a wild goose chase? Cake will b given

No answers, but I'm having the same problem on the Sprint 3g network. Also getting 1000+ ms pings and download speeds have been less than 100 kbps since Friday. 4g seems to be working fine (when I can connect). Don't know if it is a coincidence, but change occured after PRL 01115 update.

You don't need to keep bumping your thread. If you read the post I gave, you would know this is a nationwide issue with sprint. Their towers are overloaded. I haven't gotten above 100kbps on sprint since November.

And if you read what I said,i was fine until one week ago, and something changed. If sprint had this issue w every customer 24/7 they would be out if business. Again, reading the post helps. STOP digging in your heels. This is a software issue for most ppl, hence why I am here looking for an answer

And again, if you read the data speeds thread, you would see that this EXACT thing happens to many people. Some people will have normal data speeds for a few days, then dial-up speeds for a few days.
I'd say try updating your data profile if you were on sprint...but boost...no idea
I have updated my profile many times with no change. I agree that it may be something software (or EVO) related because I did simultaneous side-by-side speed tests on my son's Hero and my EVO, both on 3g with the same signal strength. The Hero was getting dowloand speeds 3-4 times faster than my EVO. I repeated many times with similar results.
Try that 1)phone>##3282#>edit mode (must now your MSL passcode)>data profile>push menu button>restore>commit mode....that's it. worked for me

Is there a way to backup before I do this? If I lose my boost settings I will not be able to restore them since i am not very good with cdma/qpst
Well In my case it's not changed anything but I got a normal data speed, and anyway you can't backup this settings. Your own risk

Flashing to Verizon..

Is it possible to flash the sprint nexus 4g to Verizon? If so, how?
Thanks
The short and simple answer is no. If you want the long detailed version look around xda as this gets asked a lot in other cdma phone sections...
Sent on the go from my android device using Tapatalk
Oh ok thanks. I figured it could be possible since the verizon iPhone was able to flash to sprint. I guess the nexus is different or something.
i would imagine using tools there available online you could in theory get it going on verizon and maybe even get 3g but 4g wouldnt work for sure

I have a verizon prl flashed. It allows my nexus to roam on the verizon network at all times. It increased my dl speeds from 300k to 2mb per second.
You still need sprint service though.

Nope..it's highly possible ..check YouTube and eBay. People even got step by step and so on. So I know it's possible.
I was hoping to do the same thing. Technically it seems like the Sprint ones should be possible.
I poked around the forums trying to find a general answer why this wasn't possible but didn't find any real concrete answer. Can anyone explain why it's not possible or point me to a post that does?
Thanks
Possible, yes. Legal? Not so much.

I dont think you understand what the OP is trying to do. He doesn't want to roam on Verizon, he wants to get a Verizon plan and activate his phone on Verizon. That requires falsifying your IMEI and no you cant do that with an app from the market.

Radios

Can anyone hook me up with all the different radios for the ns4g? Trying to achieve a more stable 4g or even 3g connection as far as my ping goes. I currently don't have access to cable or DSL so I have to rely on my connection for everything. The ping spikes and its making it really hard for me to enjoy battlefield 3
Also, I assume I'm supposed to flash the radio through Odin in the phone section under PDA?

Changing radios wont Chang your ping. There is a way to edit which data network your phone registers on lowering pings. Search lowering pings on sprint and you should find what you are liking for.

Got my letter today

for those of you who don't know. I've been using the 11115.prl and I use about 1.5-3 gigs roaming & 1.5-3 gigs on sprint towers a month.
So Monday I got my letter in the mail, I called them and they gave me a option if I want to stay with them to stop roaming or if I wanted to cancel my service that I could do so. (they would waive the ETF)
Just a heads up to everyone else if you use over 300MB roaming they flag your accounts. (what the rep told me)
Now to be honest I was purposely trying to use a crap ton a data (always streaming sirusxm) because I'm sick of sprint's slow service in my area. On the sprint towers we get around 20-60KBS and on roaming I get about 1mbps.
Anyways... any suggestions on different provider? phones?
Your roaming on VZ and like those speeds. Go with VZ

Try an app called telinfo in the app store. Go to the options and select LTE only. Hopefully that will solve the issue for you.

I had the same problem with dropping 4g.. This app works beautifully. Thanks for this.
4G is the same for me as with the Note 2. We live in a rural area, so an occasional switch to 3G is not unheard of. But 99% of the time, my 4G is solid.

Noticed when i use the app to set for LTE only that phone calls dont come thru. Calls goes straight to voice mail. Anybody else?
Quick bump... I'm having same issue as OP and the program doesn't work for me either.
A little update... I took my phone to verizon to swap out for a new phone because of constant 4g drops to 3g and 1x, Rep advised he had seen my problem fixed with a new sim card before. I hesitantly accepted to try it not thinking it would fix my problem but considered oh well if it does I wont have to setup a new phone so whats the worse that could happen. 5 days later im happy to report my 4g drops have been non existant. My 4g is as reliable as it was on my note 2.
Mine drops out on me on train ride where Verizon says it's supposed to have 4g. I'm not sure if it's supposed to since I never had Verizon until this phone release.
Is there an equivalent to At&t's Mark the Spot app that reports to Verizon dead zones and such?
