What it does is very little. Nothing to really lose sleep over or even worry.
All a PRL does is add towers from Roaming agreements that just came online. Nothing less, nothing more...if you live and work in the same place it's a safe bet nothing changes for you...however, if you travel all over the country, then it is always good to have the latest Roaming List Update, specially if you are going someplace new you have never roamed before.
Other than that it's not a real big game changer like a Radio update. That's why it's called a Preferred Roaming List.

i use Verizon PRL 31337 =/
i get faster speeds and a more constant ping at work with it.
Wonder if we could get an updated Verizon PRL somewhere.

You can use verizon PRL's on sprint phones. Its really only used by people who have great verizon coverage in their area and bad sprint coverage. It causes the phone to connect to verizon's networks preferably over sprint's.

I'm a sprint rep at an ASC location and I've never had anybody come in and say they got that letter you're talking about, I know it can happen but haven't seen it yet.
And to the OP, a PRL can also remove towers from the list, a bunch of towers were removed from FL in a recent update.

If you're constantly streaming videos and tethering non stop while roaming for MULTIPLE months than yes, they probably would. Outside of doing that, I doubt it. I tethered for a week while I was on vacation and I didn't get a single thing.
Btw, my phone says there's no PRL update
We can update prl the official way right?

I'm in San Francisco right now and am clearly in AT&T's 4g territory. Well I'm only pulling 3mb down on a speed test. And my buddy who is sitting right next to me with his iPhone 4 is pulling 4.5 down. I thought the iPhone 4 was only hspa and not even plus?
Is it possible ATT is throttling me because I dont have a "4G" specific plan?

A data plan is of course, always going to be a data plan. There is no difference from one plan to another AFAIK besides 2GB and 4GB or if you're grandfathered for unlimited.
Just obviously with software updates etc. to enable "4G".
I'm up here in MT and I barely touch 1.5Mbps if I'm lucky. My friend has the same issue, and AT&T keeps telling me it's because MT is a "new acquisition". BS I've had the service for almost 3 months now. Learn to put up more towers!
Anyways, that's my $0.02.

Wells there's not much I can do about it now. I'm in the back seat of a car going 80 miles an hour towards a non '4G' area.
I was certain I flashed the right radio. I have the H emblem next to my service indicator.
Can anyone that has experience with san Francisco confirm my speeds are unusually low? Also does anyone know if the iPhone is hspa+?

3 months is not a long time when you think about it. It takes 3 years and about 2.9 million dollars to put up one single tower.

I'm getting 1.5 in my hometown of Sacramento, but that's clearly not in 4g territory so I assumed its just 3g there (even though I have the h emblem). 3 is definitely than 1.5 but it still doesn't explain why my buddies iPhone is pulling more down when its apparently not capable of hspa+

I have read in a number of posts that the data plan does matter. The 4G plan offer access to another APN, with is required for authentication on the 4G network. In the Dev forum, there is a thread about APNs that discusses this.

Did you check the thread in dev section and edit the build prop? Might call att And see if there are certain apns needed for the 4G network authentication.

I saw the the thread about editing the build prop yes. I just checked att coverage maps for 4g and Sacramento is now in the coverage zone. Should now be seeing hspa+ speeds here. I'll do a test when I get home but I'm willing bet my roommates iPhone will still pull faster speeds than me. I will also get on the phone with att and find out if i need a different plan. Will report back.

Comparing the iphone to the inspire is not really fair as the iphone doesnt use the same apn settings, and they also have a reserved amount of bandwith set aside for iphones only. Not to mention they seem to go faster due to alot of things being cached on Apples servers which the iphone connects to first so it seems like they can pull data faster but it is not what it seems.
Ah, I'm not the only one pulling down slower speeds than other devices. My GF's Infuse consistently pulls down 6-7 mbps while my Inspire, at the same time and location, will pull down 3-4. My build prop is edited, and I've tried other radios (and rils) with not much luck. Is this a device capability issue?
The only thing I haven't done is mess with APNs much. I feel as though it won't change anything, but eventually I'll try that as well.

I would try that, As it can have a great impact on your connection. I could set you up with the old apn settings and you would pull edge speeds. So it only goes to reason that the APN settings might have a large thing to do with it.

I'm going to look around at the speeds others are getting. I just can't seem to get more than 3-5 mbps. I know my area is capable of it because my GF's Infuse gets 5-8 mbps consistently, and at the same time I test mine. Weird.
I'll wait for compelling results before I change mine, because I've been modding heavily the last few days and I'm exactly not in the testing mood.

The day after I got my Inspire, I went to an A's game. The best I got on that trip was 1.5/0.35. A week later in Sac, in the parking lot of the Kaiser on Morse Avenue, I was able to pull 5.0/0.35. The best I got at home in Woodland was 3.0/0.35. I am now rooted, running ClearDroid, and get 4-5 down with upload better than 1. I'm still on my unlimited plan.

I have had a D2G for almost a year and think the message limit of 999 is pointless. Anyone know of a way to get rid of this? I do not have it rooted, or unlocked. Any help/info would be appreciated!
I now have a z4root on it, does this make a difference?

I've noticed that Verizon is much more flexible with complaints vs. customer service. If this is controlled by Verizon, you should call them and complain if you pay for an Unlimited plan, seeing that ~1000 is only 4 times more than 250 texts.
Since this is the global version though, I'm assuming it's controlled by the phone itself and not the carrier, since global versions connect to different networks when travelling between borders.
If it is the phone itself causing this, I'd say check Youtube or Verizon Wireless Support & Forums for answers since this seems like it's a widespread problem.
Ya, it is controlled on the phone itself. I might go talk to Verizon and see if they have any options for me to try. Thanks for the info though. Appreciate it.

i just unlocked my tmobile g2x to att works fine but doesnt pick up any 3g or 2g can someone please help me on what im doing wrong thanks
you aren't doing anything wrong. the g2x has the required band for 3g on att but it isn't activated even when the phone is unlocked.
you need to assign the apn information for 2g, 3g won't work (it doesn't have the bands)
You'll be stuck only with 2G unless you use the guide in the development section and select the bands for att 3G service.
Use google to find the apns for the att data. Its something like wap.Cingular.com or similar.

As far as I'm aware, there is no such guide, as there are no AT&T 3G bands on this phone. If you know of such a guide for the G2X (specifically) it would be nice to share.

I C... Yeah, a new thread on a theory based on a reference document. Great idea, great to see people working on it, but hardly a thread to recommend to the original poster, to whom the answer is essentially still and likely to remain "no, no 3G on AT&T with G2X"...

So I can't get LTE or hspa+ to work on my n5 using at&t. MMS doesn't work either.
Hspa works fine. 6mb down and 1mb up. Which is fine for me. But still strange. This is a new at&t Sim. So its not a simcard issue. I just recently got data on my account. Because before it was just a minutes only plan and I kinda cheated the system and got a unlocked phone, simply poped my Sim in and thats it.

What ROM are you on? You should be able to go to settings/more/cellular networks/access point names then choose either ATT LTE or ATT Phone. No editing required.

One thing I noticed is the only APN that works is .Cingular. Anything .att doesn't work.

Last thing to check would be to make sure you have Preferred Network Type set to LTE under Cellular network settings. Other than that you might have to live with HSPA. Trust me though ATT knows damn well it's a smartphone. They may consider your plan grandfathered they may not. If they don't expect a bill from them sometime in the future.

The plan I used to be on was discontinued. And then I bough an att HTC first. Went to the store and they gave me a new Sim to fit in it and warned me I may be charged for data in the future during data sweeps. Then I had many phones after that, no data. And now this plan I can have data :/ its the mobileshare plan. And oh they know its a smartphone. They knew I had an atrix HD so....that's kinda odd.
I'm just wondering if it costs extra to have LTE vs the 3G.

No, LTE doesn't cost more than 3G. It's all part of the same data plan.
