Youre in a area with a network extender. They are made for homes that have terrible signal

No question, just a fyi......at least I'm not asking why I can't root after running the 2.1 ruu......geez
I wonder if these PRL updates are location specific because I'm stuck at 60664. I'm in Riverside, CA.

That's been my PRL since I've gotten my phone, which was back in March. I update it fairly regularly, but it never changes. I wonder how often it actually does change.
Perhaps it is because I am up in WA now as opposed to Bay Area CA

That could be likely. You must be by my peninsula to know I am in WA.

60665 here too
Hey,
My phone was stuck on 60664 for the longest time. Just double-checked it now and I'm getting 60665 using Fresh 2.1.2 in Orlando, FL.

Yup, I'm at 60665 on Damage 2.08.1

Cool! I'm in the Everett/Snohomish area right now. Just updated to 60665 on..... well... ****.... Stock 2.1 lol
I still don't understand how the hell the PRL actually works then. Maybe it's just one master list for everyone that gets rolled out and it just needs your location for figuring out where to roam to? Not really sure. Cool that there's some WA folks here though.
I'm in SoCal.
Im having issues with this new PRL, my radio keeps pulling and i loose 3g quite often now.
Is there any way to revert back to an older PRL?

have to find the PRL file, which may be around these parts some where.
Put it on the root of your SD card
dial ##PRL#
enter MSL
Browse to SDCard
apply.

Look for "batteryindicator" by developer "darshancomputing" in Android Market.
Their Pro version "batteryindicatorpro" has higher icon resolution and more features.
I've been using for a month now and I highly recommend it.

It's an app. I believe the name is Battery Indicator. Can be found in the market.

I was blown away. There had been reports of 4g signals in Queens, but I just found out that we were getting a signal here in Brooklyn early this morning on a fluke. I tested around 4mbps indoors near a window. And the pic is the result from outside. On stability I'd rate it a 6.5. Signal did drop a few times intermittently. But pretty good overall.

Wall St has some 4G for sure, full bars while outside on Wall. Nowhere near those speeds though, but hopefully soon....

I think it's all location dependent, but the main thing is we don't have an official date for 4G yet, so it's exciting....
I don't think I've got above 1mbps upload on 3G though.. ever..

This is good ol' Brooklyn, USA. Lefferts Gardens-Prospect Park area to be exact. The 3G service around here is actually pretty darn good. I average about 1.5 to 2.2 most times, so I'm not even that pressed about 4G, but I'm damn sure glad to see it is available if the occasion ever arises that I need it! Somehow I doubt, I'll be getting those speeds when the system officially roles out and is advertised.
yeah im in bay ridge and ive been getting 4g for like 3-4 weeks now

You are the first person since the Epic's launch that I've seen complain about this... so yeah I'm thinking defective.
Or the phone is fine and seeing Sprints great one day, terrible the next network, but antennagate is causing you to think every low signal is a grip issue.
HAHHA.. oh shoo.. your serious huh?. Nope not here

Not specifically antennagate, the vibrant is my point of reference. Whenever i gripped the bottom of the phone the bars dropped significantly

Might want to try Frost 4.0 has alot of GB features while keeping a sense based rom. I tried CM 7 rc2 but had to many issues for me "4g, 720p, cell signal". Frost gives me the features i want without the issues I get from other roms.
I just don't wanna toast my EVO as I had a bad root on my old Hero and it was bricked going to wait for an ota which is hopefully this spring
cool, welcome to the club
any way to find a 4g coverage map of the spokane area? i go from 0 bars on one corner to full bars accross the street...

Wow this is crazy

Upstairs in my room with good reception I get one hour of sot time per 10% used (Using taptalk and Twitter).
Downstairs where the poor reception is, i get 1 hour of screen on time per 20% used. Same usage.
This is crazy, I never knew reception had such an impact on battery life. Its dumb founding. Sadly i spend most of my time downstairs thus I probably will get subpar batter. Crazyyy[emoji41]

You don't have WiFi I assume? WiFi calling shuts off the cell reception and your phone will never have to look for signal.

Yes, your cell service is shut off totally while on WiFi calling. I suggest you turn it on.
Edit: I apologize in advance but WiFi calling is a T-Mobile thing, I'm not sure which version of the phone you have. Sorry about that.
