khammondnm Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I have never had a problem on 1x800 with my Note 2. I have never updated the firmware on it since I got it. It still has the October 31, 2012 L900VPALJC. Could this be why I don't have a problem? Just curious, as I am currently using the 512 PRL. what market are you in?

hescominsoon Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 has the shentel blocking prl finally been removed..aka did they fix the note 2's issue with shentel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefbal99 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I don't think it is a Shentel issue. Yesterday while on smr (confirmed via engineering screens) I was talking with my wife with a strong -85 to -89 signal strength. After about a minute, I started getting odd audio. She could hear me fine, but I couldn't hear her. Half of every third word from her would come out, but she heard everything I said. I don't get into SMR areas to test too often, but I had to airplane mode then picked up a regular PCS carrier and called my wife fine.

jefbal99 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Galaxy S3 update to 4.3 has been pulled, speculation is that this will delay the Note 2 upgrade as well. http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2013/11/12/galaxy-s3-android-4-3-update-pulled-note-2-delayed/ Crap like this pushes me back to CM/AOSP ROMs to stay up to date. Can't wait for my financial situation to even out (just built a house) so I can jump to a Nexus 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreuschl Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 And then Samsung locks down the leaks of the software before release. Maybe they need a Motorola soak program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung locked down their leaks a long time ago after the Galaxy S2/Super brick fiasco. I'd love a soak program that users could sign up for, but that is highly unlikely.

jreuschl Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I would assume if it has HD voice there is some kind of modem firmware update! So I have stock ROM, basic root (no bootloader), and the PRL update fix... Wonder if I can accept the OTA update or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I defrosted my system update and Sprint DM services so I could get the update downloaded if my ID gets picked. http://www.s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3297-digiblur-ROM-2013.06.02-[Note2]-[MC2]&do=findComment&comment=242105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreuschl Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Curious too when someone gets the update what PRL version Sprint assigns to that ROM. Hopefully we are away from the special non-800 PRLs, meaning Sprint doesn't see any more issues on 800 on the Note II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we are away from the special non-800 PRLs, meaning Sprint doesn't see any more issues on 800 on the Note II. PRLs are assigned by device and account type not by software or baseband version. So if they did fix the 800 issue that a few people have then they would have to wait until the rollout is complete and then a longer period to make sure everyone has it downloaded.

I guess we should hold off flashing then because we won't know if the PRL write fix works after flashing if it takes a while for regular PRLs to be received OTA again.

khammondnm Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Also be careful going to stock and updating, knox is in this update. Once you try to install a custom boatloader you will trip Knox.

I never had the issue of 1x800 not working on my device (except when Ericsson messed up and had it broken for a week before they pulled it) so I just write my own PRL. I have the Sprint DM service and System update services frozen so it doesn't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
