Just had a new PRL pushed.

Just had a new PRL pushed to my phone 5 minutes ago. I didn't hit update, it pushed on its own. I went from getting .06-.13mbps to 1.3-1.6 mbps down. Anyone else experience this?

I got it in Washington, DC. Same thing - pushed. Haven't checked speeds yet, though.

What's the updated PRL number? Mine is 25004.

Yes I posted a few min earlier. I was averaging 1mb and now I'm getting over 2mb.

Apparently it was a network-wide push. There's a couple of threads over on XDA on the subject. According to some of the folks over there, the PRL in and of itself doesn't affect data speed. But there are people reporting improved speeds immediately after the push. Hmmmm...

I haven't been able to check yet for myself because I'm not in a location where I've done a speed test before, so I have nothing to check against.

I didn't get a push, but went and did an update and got 25004. Download speed didn't seem to change (still around 1Mb), but upload improved significantly, it is up to about 500k.

Had been concerned about that since it was running much slower, and picture uploads were taking forever.

Got the PRL push too. Turned off my WiFi and in the house 3G has gone from pitiful to 1.2.View attachment 26878

Yes we know, but this was all of the reviewers main beef with it.At least with decent 3g speeds this phone is more usable than the reviewers had it to be.

Well yeah I mean 4g, but 3g is probably 5 mbps

I don't get it. I thought PRL stands for Prefered Roaming List.
Why would that improve speeds?

14+ on 3G?

 

[PROlific666]

Maybe 1.4.... I can't get 14 using a wifi connection

PRL will not improve speeds. What it does is tell your phone where towers are and which ones it should connect to. The only way getting a new PRL will increase your speed is if there is a new tower that is closer to you, or more powerful than your previous PRL indicated.

Apparently someone downloaded an update for SICK BURNS! But still no auto-correct.

Oic 5 on 3g 14+ on 4g... even then you must be sitting at the base of "versions" tower... 14+ sounds like a verizon estimation of service... sounds like a perfect time for a screenshot.
