Sprint prl update
 

Just to let fellow members know, I live here in Baytown just outside Houston to the east, and for the past 48 hours my service has been jacked up. So bad that it constantly drop calls and extreme non isolated noise on voice calls and the EVDO was slow sometimes stuck in 1X and Sprint said nothing was wrong. So I called today and spoke to 3 different reps, finally the 3rd one had some sense on the situation, she told me that she have to perform a PRL update so I explain that I perform that from the program in the handset but she told me that the OTA program was the best so that was done and I was ask how was my signal and I told her that it was still low so she told me to drive around, I was I have to run an erron about a mile away from home and while I was out the signal came up to full scale and when I came home I had no problem. The procedure was strange to me but it worked so I am just letting everyone know maybe it can help somebody else out, you can post and strange things you have encountered also.

thanks

wow...he's just bumping old threads left and right! :mrgreen:

Re: Sprint prl update
 

Haha old threads that catch my attention. sorry for reading. and the OTA program updates the prl yes i know. But the way he worded it it sounded like there are two separate ways to update the PRL, one being through the phones update PRL app located under the settings>system tab and another being the OTA Program.

Re: Sprint prl update
 

old thread...lol but i know on old ass phone through sprint i had in past. you could call then they flag your phone for prl. then you call a number they give you and it does a prl update.

I'm a noob when it comes to a lot of things. We can still all be friends :)

Re: Sprint prl update
 

Speaking of noobs (cue music as I walk in...), for the life of me I can't find the prl update option on my phone. I'm using the Energy ROM (Cookie Dinik Glass version) and no matter how hard I try, or how many times I click my heels, I can't find it. Made my way through "Settings, All Settings, System...", but still no go. Had no problems finding it with the stock ROM. I received a message from Sprint the other day that there was an important Roaming list update for my phone and that I needed to update the PRL. Any help in accomplishing this would be appreciated. Thanks...

Download and install this:

Then the Update PRL and Profile icons will be in Start/Settings/System.

Re: Sprint prl update
 

This PRL program doesn't work on my Mighty Rom. I keep getting an error 1012.

Re: Sprint prl update
 

Funny, I had an issue as well over the last 2 days. I couldn't connect to the mobile web. Phone was fine, but crappy connection, so I think my issue is somewhat related. I spent over an hour with tech support, trying to update my profile without success - no net connection to do the over the air update. I also got the ERROR 1012 as well. Thinking that it was due to some tweaking I did to my phone, I hard reset it. It works now.

Strange.

Re: Sprint prl update
 

Because I'm just looking at the replies to my post now. Unfortunately had some things going on in the family...
