Sprint has updated the EVO 3D PRL to 21080 from 21079

Yeah I just updated my prl n noticed that. Any changes in terms of speed you have noticed?

I hope it fixes the 3D's inability to lock on a signal more than anything else.

 

[mjlash22]

Mine updated as well.

heres to faster 3g speeds

edit: Heres to the same if not slower 3g speeds aka 0.3-0.5 megs down

Data been going out for me, it finally died. Called Sprint and they told me to reset data through a over the phone walkthrough. Works great now...keeping fingers crossed.

Wow. Updated and now my 3G speeds are way slower!

Now at around 0.2 download.

Data's back up but speeds are still slow!!!!!
.19MB, Whats with these pitiful 3G speeds? Is Spring going to address this?

 

[hyperphantom]

went from .5-.6 down to .2-.3 down with the update...

Same here, my download speed was halved

I just ran Speakeasy on 3G and got 1.14 Mbps down & .45 Mbps up. About the same as before the PRL update.

That's a typo, right? I updated my PRL and it's at 12114.

Guys updating the PRL will not change or affect DL or UP speeds. This just changes the (Preferred roaming list). Tells the phone who it can roam on.

Couldn't have said it better.

I had to turn off roaming because low signal searching was killing my battery. I do hope this PRL update helps.

Um, well then how am I getting .03mbps down now? I was getting .54mbps last night.

This is true. To help clarify, here is a quote from Sprint.com...

The Preferred Roaming List (PRL) is a file located in your phone, and it is used to acquire both the Sprint Network and Sprint roaming partner's network for you while you are roaming off the Sprint Network. Sprint updates the PRL a few times a year to provide you with new domestic digital roaming coverage or with international roaming coverage or to make other necessary adjustments.

Sprint sends PRL updates to phones Over-the-Air (OTA) as needed. However, you can also proactively receive PRL updates using your phone's settings. For instance, newer phones have a menu screen to perform a PRL update, Settings > Phone Info > Update PRL. The phone will check for an update and complete the transaction in less than a minute.

Mobile Broadband Cards receive PRL updates through Sprint Smartview Auto Updates.

A PRL update will not:

Improve signal strength on Sprint Network or off-network roaming areas
Help with dropped or blocked calls, or coverage holes
Help with wireless web issues
Correcting misrouted calls when roaming
