i have an EVO LTE and want to put on the prl for 800mhz has anyone tried it out and if so can you help me out. also i'm not rooted.

 

Unless you are in Chicagoland where a few 800Mhz 1x advanced towers are live, it is not worth anything to you

They are talking about CDMA 800. They just weren't clear. PRL's will not affect LTE service at all.

I have given up on the PRL because my phone has had alot of problems. i had to do a reset on my phone to get my text messages to work so i don't want to screw up the phone lol. But we can keep this thread for the latest prl updates.

PRLs are irrelevant.

The only reason you should need to change PRLs is if you want to roam on Verizon 3G, which requires placing a Verizon PRL on your device.

Other than that, don't worry about PRL.

 

Except for when they add the new 800SMR SIDs. This will be one of the very few and rare times where a PRL upgrade actually changes Sprint native signal/coverage. They added Chicago a while back, but removed it due to issues in that area. I'm sure it will be back including some others pretty soon.

Why when I do a prl update, it says it was updated, but the version doesn't change? Does it really update it?

 

Yes and no. Yes, it updated and overwrote the old one, with the same one. No, in the fact that there is no net change.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
