I tested my speeds before and after Full rooting and they were the same. On 3 different phones mind you. but I guess it's possible.

That sounds like a better title.

Re: You could have bad 3g if you root your phone!!!

I have never had any issues with my data speed and I have full root. You could do a data restore after root. shouldn't need to but maybe that would help. just dial ##3282# enter your msl (can be obtained from cs or a store) then click restore.

Re: You could have bad 3g if you root your phone!!!

I'm on the 1.34_003 PRI after rooting as well and I haven't noticed any difference in my data speeds... likely it depends on your coverage area, just like a different PRL will effect signal strength differently for different people...

Man I am at work, browsing on my phone. There's no way I'm reading a 9 page thread about a problem I'm sure isn't affecting me. Can you just summarize real quick?
1: What is pri?
2: How does pri affect 3G speed?
3: What should my 3G speed be?

I'm fully rooted and as far as I know, my 3G is working fine. Once I get answers to the above questions I'll know if I should care about this problem or not. For all I know my 3G isn't working properly, but it's all I've ever known so it seems normal to me.

At the same time, I am not sure that just because there is a newer pri that the newer one will mean better 3G...
