that's awesome! I'll be passing by there again in a while, I'll try to get a connection this time...

 

EDIT: egonadrian, what's your setup? are you using a stock PRL or digiblur's modded one? do you have your phone set to LTE only or normal CDMA/LTE operation?

 

I'm trying to figure out why my phone seems to not sniff out the LTE signal and connect in known LTE areas right now, thanks!

 

Now if you have the EVO LTE you will need to configure your home screen like below and mash it all the time to get LTE. Other phones that are not qualcomm lte chipsets may not require the modded prl. I remember Robert saying the Nexus didn't require it.

I am not going to respond to questions why a 1/20th deployed LTE network doesn't perform to your satisfaction. C'mon. Really?

managed to connect for a bit, and there was definitely a fair amount of airplane mode toggling involved... also tried updating OTA to a stock PRL, to see if I could connect to LTE like digiblur asked, but the phone just said "No PRL update available", so my experiments will have to wait for another day

Do i have to be rooted in order to manually change the PRL's on my EVOLTE ???

Nope. Just QPST or DFS on your PC and your MSL code.

It connected automatically for me with the GS3 but when I tried to update the PRL it said the same thing and would not let me update it.

 

I am really amazed with how fast so much ground has been covered in so little time. I can not even imagine when all NV sites are updated! Also building penetration is a huge improvement from Wimax!

I have downloaded it from two different sources and I ain't been able to flash it... The phone auto reboot when I hit PRL write button and doesn't apply it ... If someone has any tips to share, please let me know...

Can you share the PRL file? Can anybody?

You can update your prl all day long and it should download the latest one and overwrite it even though it is the same version.

That was not the case this time, it said it was in the latest version and stayed the same PRL.

You can install a PRL right on your device without QPST on the GS3 and Note 2.

How???

 

Thank you

 

Download the PRL file of your choice and save it to the root of your internal storage.

 

Rename it Test.prl

 

Go into your phone dialer and enter ##DATA#

 

Select View

Select PRL Write

Hit the PRL Write button

 

Device will reboot. Go to Settings>About>Status and confirm you have the new PRL number. Sometimes you have to do it 2-3 times for it to take.

 

If you do not name the file exactly right, it will not work.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
