I live in Royal Oak, work in Allen Park, and my girlfriend is on the East Side on the Grosse Pointe/Detroit border. At home and her place, I seem to do OK and get OK run time (about 12 hours before looking for a charger) but at work, I'm lucky to get 5 hours, get miserable data speeds (frequently 1x), and the phone gets hot to the touch as it's straining to get a signal.
A few weeks back, I switched over to CM7 and loved it, but I've had problems with Bluetooth dropping with my Sync system and suddenly I started hitting data problems all over causing Amazon Cloud Player, etc. to time out and pages to take forever to load. Apprently you can't update the PRL on AOSP ROMs, but as I researched the issue, I learned that Sprint had lost a TON of their data roaming and changed their PRL to reflect this change and that there were known issues in Metro Detroit.
I dunno, but I've been paying $10 extra for 4G that will likely never arrive here and 3G which is spotty at best. Also, when running Speed Test, I often get faster UPLOAD speeds than download. WTFF is that about? I loathe the idea of having to pay Verizon's rates, but what good is a smartphone without coverage and data connectivity?
very interesting because I have been seeing the 3G tank like crazy over the last many months. Where did you hear about the PRL change due to losing the data roaming?
I agree with paying the extra money now to get the better data. I can speed test my evos at 100-300k next to a VZ device at 1.5-2.5mb on 3g. I switch to 4G where applicable and I am just touching VZ 3G speeds.
I have been fighting with sprint over the 3G forever now and just started *****ing enough to get credits on my acct.
They just credited me $120 the other day
Wonder where I can find old PRL's to do some testing with . . . . .
