how do i know what PRL my phone has? i did an update yesterday and it said it's up to date.

Go into settings and then "about" phone or phone info (usually near the bottom settings). You should then see info on software and hardware. Look for PRL within those menus.

 

I tried to use the hacked Verizon-only prl (00001) and it connected me to MetroPCS not Verizon? I think it might be because where my house is the signal for Verizon is weak and MetroPCS is stronger?

 

I can't wait for the LTE manufactures to release an all frequency LTE chip that will allow roaming on any LTE network nationwide (or worldwide). I had read a few months back that they were about to release such a chip but then I didn't hear anything else about it? It's crazy that we won't be able to roam on LTE like we do on EVDO.

This is highly unlikely. There currently cant even be a chip that allows for ATT and VZW lte at the same time on the upper and lower 700 mhz block, because of interference issues.

An all-frequency chip isn't the problem. Fitting all the antennas into the phone is.

 

What about a dynamically changing antenna? Or am I dreaming?

You mean like this...

 

 

I think that we have identified an agent of Skynet. Josh' date=' what were you doing on August 29, 1997?

How would I remember that far back? I was only a kid.

And I'm not a skynet agent.

 

...or you just think that you were a kid. But Skynet implanted those childhood memories because you are actually an android. I think that we need to cut around your forearm to find out. If you start to speak German, that is further proof.

 

;)

How do we know if you are really the Skynet agent, and you are just trying to take the attention off of yourself? :rofl:

But I am not the one deflecting, Josh. You are.

 

So, are you a Skynet android agent or not? Cut off your forearm. Really, it is a simple test. We are waiting.

If I did that I would no longer have my arm and it would be one really bloody mess. Plus I hate pain and am not interested in suffering anymore than I already am right now. :(

I did find a PRL that has 3g roaming on VZW, 800SMR as high priority, and MCC records for PRL.

 

Will share when I get back home..

This is GREAT news!

We can add it to the S4GRU download center. Yeehaw!

I thought that you edited your own PRLs. Now, you make it sound as if you go out into the woods and "find" them. If so, I would like to know where these PRL hunting grounds are.

"Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits...er..uh..pew-er-lls...fer..the LTE"

 

I have done some edits in the past, but I will admit that I'm lazy and use another PRL that is already setup and ready to go. I might edit 56006 and add in the missing MCC/MNC records for GEO's that need them and also add in all the 800SMR SIDs for testing purposes. The super S4GRU PRL!! ;) Just have to figure out some time to do it. Worked over 65 hours this week and that was with Monday off...will probably hit 80+ for the week starting tomorrow. Good ole Isaac!

 

Here's my unofficial analysis of some new PRL ranges:

 

54006 - is close to 24006 except for about 21 international SIDs removed (includes international LTE records)

16006 - almost exactly like 12124 except for the LTE records included and 800SMR SIDS are higher priority over PCS band (does not include international LTE records)

56006 - very close to 16006 except some international priority changes (includes international LTE records)

 

and of course the PRLs are here:

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By jonathanm1978 · Posted

      Well.. my power flickered this evening and kicked my cell spot offline. I noticed that my phone still had service, then the 5G UC showed up on my screen. Honestly thought it was just a hang up from the loss and it was not displaying properly... but then I did a speed test and got 250meg down and 30 Meg upload.... apparently they've added n71 here in the past week and I just found it.  For the first time in 10+ years I don't need a box to give my service at home!! Like a kid with a new toy now...yay!

      Bloosurf is petitioning to deny T-Mobile's request for an STA specifically in their service area. https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/attachments/attachmentViewRD.jsp;ATTACHMENTS=Ghl9knTSFp8J4nVm1P9qL4541XR1gy58whH7Yyz0MwGs037gQrNV!-2042069078!-79842837?applType=search&fileKey=1297203795&attachmentKey=21718533&attachmentInd=applAttach Short read but pretty much they're saying that T-Mobile's operations in the BRS/EBS band has been interfering with Bloosurf's LTE-based WISP network and that this has caused them harm (lose customers, etc.) They claim that allowing T-Mobile access to all of the spectrum they bought in or near Bloosurf's service area would cause even more interference. To be fair they aren't wrong. They mention that in 2021 the FCC investigated and determined that T-Mobile was operating outside of its licensed spectrum band there. However, I get the sense that Bloosurf is just trying to stop a competitor from operating in their service area. Typically carriers work this kind of stuff out among each other. Here in NYC, 3/4ths of Brooklyn has 140MHz of n41 deployed and the southern 1/4th of it has 80MHz deployed thanks to an incumbent that leases the spectrum from the archdiocese. In spite of that there are no complaints of interference from NextWave in such a dense environment. Seems to me like Bloosurf just doesn't want to coordinate with T-Mobile and would rather complain to delay the deployment of spectrum for as long as possible. EDIT: It's not just their service area, it's a larger area surrounding their service area as well. Something's fishy about this request.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By red_dog007 · Posted

      Bit too early to tell imo. It's good news if Dish can stop the hemorrhaging. Q3/Q4 2022 they were able to stop the hemorrhaging. Their previous 6 quarters they lost between 160k and 350k subs each. Their next report will be interesting to see how they were impacted subscriber wise due to the hack.
