My battery drain has also gotten worse . I called Sprint and got a recording saying they was closed to call back during business hours . Great job Sprint .
Doing a factory reset definitely did not work for me. Emailed Sprint from their website only to be told I have a tech support issue and to call.
This is ridiculous. And the phone still lost half its charge over night while I slept Which was the only reason I did the update in the first place, in hopes of longer battery life.
To late I already did factory reset...........twice!! Still have 50580?!?! At Sprint repair now as *Retentions* requested to check 3G speeds. The tech has E3D also and has the same 3g issues. He wasn't aware of the fix so I printed out info to give him. He's not rooted but will try to fix both our phones. I read on XDA that someone got $129 knocked off bill for the 3G issue. They were told this wouldn't be resolved until Oct 31. Sounds to me like that's when the switch over to the new system will be completed.
wow. sorry to hear this. I wonder now why my phone is so different. after all, I didn't have the radio or GPS issues with this update, but it caused my camera to no longer work.
So am I reading this correctly...the PRL update takes you from 21081 to 50580?
Here is wiley's link. Thanks wiley!
I hate to say it but I have been given the photon and I have great signal strength now so I don't believe that its the network and that it is the 3vo in the meantime I need a phone while I like the evo better and sense it is not the best phone for me at the moment but I will be holding on to the photon until htc fixes the evo3d
Ok, I reset the prl to 21081 and everything is back to normal. For those that need assistance what you need is the 21081 zip file. Unzip it and place it on your sd card(I placed mines on the root of the card, not sure if that will make a difference). Then dial ##775# then it will ask for your msl code, if this code doesn't work download and install the epst.apk I attached then try the code again. For those that are rooted just use mslreader on the market for those that aren't rooted you can call sprint and ask nicely or use the cdma workshop method. Once you enter your msl you will then see the option to update prl, then the next step will allow you to select the 21081 file that you unzipped. Once you select ok it should reboot, if not then just reboot and when it comes back up you should be good to go.
None taken I still have the 3d I was given the photon and I have to say that I don't hate it as much as I thought I wouldNo disrespect but I believe it was the PRL and not the 3D. This is a screenshot of my 3G speed as of right now after reverting back to the previous PRL.
I just changed back to the 21081 prl an it didn't help my speeds any . Don't know what problem is .
