Yeah. I'm using the PRL I got from my wife's Admire which is 3028.
I think Northern Cali has better 3G. My cousin is in the east Bay, (closer to Stockton actually) and he gets good speeds. I'll be going up there hopefully in a couple of weeks. I'll be checking things there and compare.
Stockton is in the Central Valley, not the East Bay. There is no MetroPCS 3G in the east bay area (Contra Costa County and Alameda County). I haven't been to the central valley in a while, so I can not attest for their 3G in other parts of Nor Cal.
What about Brentwood, Antioch, or Pittsburgh? That's actually where I'll be heading to. I just referred
it to Stockton cause it's pretty close.
Hey everyone,
I just spent some time updating the overall theme on the MetroPRL Website, So whenever you guys get the chance check it out and let me know what you think, All opinions are accepted. =D
metroprl.blogspot.com
And for those of you having trouble getting MMS working on a 4.67 sense rom, Just flashed Bloodys 4.67 MMS script through Amon RA Recovery, For some reason its not flashing in ClockWork Recovery. Here is a link to that specific script only for sense 4.67 roms (successfully tested on Swagstr latest SOS X rom):

I saw that...read an article someone posted and even the other posts...let's see at month's end.
If my evo goes down...may jump ship...lol
I dont think that means that they will cut us off,, i believe our phones will still work.
just not flash anymore thru houdini... unless they have another company to flash...
+1 They're not going to cut off existing customers because of flashed phones. They would lose half thier users.

For sure they won't cut off already flashed users, That would mean huge losses for them. Now the rumor about them shutting down Metro Flash and Houdini seems to be more real each time, and when you think about it, It makes sense. They want users to spend money on their phones! And I have to admit they have been making an effort to take out pretty good phones, they even have a dual core phone now!
But hopefully they won't shutdown Houdini, as I know plenty of people that make a living flashing phones.

Yea there's no way they could possibly do that. Maybe if it were Verizon or something. But not a company like metro that's already struggling for customers.

MetroPRL Website
Thread Introduction & Purpose:
Welcome,
You guys can call me JD, I created this general thread so MetroPCS users with flashed HTC EVO phones can post their 3G speeds & locations, and get help on obtaining 3G signal and other MetroPCS related things such as MMS settings. I'm open to answering any questions you guys may have to the best of my knowledge.
MetroPCS is currently updating 20% of there towers from 1X to 3G.

Writen HTC EVO PRL Update Guide
Here's a HTC EVO PRL Video Update Tutorial created by Mikekelso421:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP4xR_rmPrU&list=UUxqzz5EkFT8YZpnC9UZR6-A&feature=plcp
2.In QSPT Service Programming under M.I.P tab set the Mobile IP behavior to 'Simple IP' This will allow your phone to connect to 3G when available or 1X when not in a 3G service area.
If there is 3G signal in your area after completing these 2 simple steps you should now have 3G.
If your still having trouble getting 3G and your sure theirs 3G in your area theres still hope, Try forcing 3G by setting your EVO into HDR Mode.

Hope this helps you guys!
Steps to manualy setting your EVO into HDR Mode:
*Warning: Manually forcing your phone into HDR Mode or Digital Mode my cause issues like your PRL going into 0000 IF your phone has been MEID repaired. You know who you are so do not attempt this if your HTC EVO was MEID repaired. Only try this if your are sure your HTC EVO was not MEID repaired.
- Dial ##3424# (Sets your phone in Diag mode).
- Connect your EVO to PC thourgh USB.
- Open QPST.
- Start Clients>Service Programming.
- Read from phone.
- Go to System tab.
- Set your Preffered Mode to: HDR only
- Write to Phone.
Reboot your phone and your HTC EVO should now be forced to connect to 3G!
The reason why I ask you guys to do this by QPST rather than by Advanced Settings is because most of the times you change it on Advanced Settings but it really doesn't change anything.
Although you guys can check to see if your connected to Evdo using Advanced Settings App. Open the app and go into Phone Information, take a look at your Network Type it should now say CDMA- EvDo rev. A!

JD66DDeleted member 32813293029 PRL!
I was working on a new customers phone today and came in with an EVO preflashed (talk+txt) from MetroPCS with a 3029 PRL. I will rip it and upload later...
Here it is, I haven't tried it yet but 3G works on the EVO!5PRL 03028
Hello, been following this thread for about 2 weeks. Lots of good info. I just registered so I can post this. Anyways, I have an Evo flashed to Metro. I've done everything but no 3G here in Bakersfield, CA. My wife has a Admire, also no 3G. I was messing with hers today and noticed that the PRL was reverted to 3026. She had 3027 when I had checked it before. So I did the *228 to update. And lo and behold 3028!!! Hopefully I wake up to 3G. Doubt it since I think Bakersfield is capped. Anyways, I hope this helps someone out there.4There's a lot more to it that setting that to auto for those of us in markets that aren't connecting. My how I wish it were that simple. I've cloned metro phones and tried a million different combinations of data settings. Different profiles different shared secret passwords and still nothing. As long as you have followed the guide in the op you will get 3g from first boot if you are in a 3g area. Also all roms made for a cdma phone are automatically set to cdma auto prl. Imo its more along the lines of metro putting there evdo connections out over 1700 mhz signal which sprint phones do not have radios to support. Browse the thread a little from pages 80-100 u.should be able to find a lot of the tests I have done with modifying apks from metro wildfire amongst a lot of other things.
