I got 3g on my lg optimus m.... Yea

[new optimus]

i've also noticed the pics on this thread says EVDO Rev. 0. But on another post the Huawei Ascend shows EVDO Rev A. http://androidforums.com/huawei-ascend/385277-metro-pcs-has-3g-now.html

Our version of the optimus, Optimus M only has evdo rev.0 chip.
all the rest of the optimus lineup and apparently the ascend's got the rev.A chips.

whoa hold up metro has 3g now?! when is this coming to miami because im still on 1x

 

[teh_dude]

OMIGOSH!!!! I want this!!!! *wanting look on face*

aflick, you're in DFW???? I'm in Arlington and I'm still on 1x. can you upload your prl somehow? Although i have no idea how to flash such a thing. lol

 

[MindlessZombie]

I'm in the DFW area (more specifically, the northern suburbs) and have it. Mine stayed at prl 3020 but my wife's phone went back to 3019 today. Later on I plan to do a manual update to see if I can get hers back to 3020.

Im more south of the DFW area... Cleburne/Burleson area. Ive got high hopes. lol

I'm in Arlington as noted under my name, and I'm still very 3g-less and very 1x-full. I think it's just another tease from Metro kinda like adobe flash on the optimus m. lol.

Im totally happy with my phone as it is... Especially seeing as I dont have to dish out boat-loads of cash for data. But, damn, it would be sweet to have 3g. It would also be nice to not have to doubt my provider. Haha

lol. i guess i've learned just not to expect more from them than is offered officially and is easily obtainable by me assuming i have the money to do it. i even had a hard time believing it and figuring out that i really did have the perk of downloadable voicemails translated into text as already a part of my plan ($50 plan), and all I needed was the app for it. that in itself is sweet.

What app gives you that? I'd love to get vm as a text.

Depending on the phone you have, you can get Visual Voicemail from Metro free with any $50 and up plan. The app is available in Metro's AppStore.

I've got the Optimus M. I'll go to their appstore and check that out. Thanks.

I woke up and the first thing I did was check for 3g, please dont be joking with us...

As you might expect, the text transcript of voicemails isn't perfect, but especially if you know/pick up on the context of who and what, it does the job, and if you're still unclear, you can play the voicemail right there on the same screen, rewind it, replay it, go to a certain spot in it, just like any other sound recording as if it were in a music player.

Well I live in Jacksonville and the prl update nor 3g work for me. I was at the Jag stadium tonight and noticed I had 3g and my prl was updated to 3020. The 3g only lasted until I drove away from the stadium (still no 3g where I live), but I still have the updated prl. I made an attempt to pull it from my phone using qpst. For those interested/brave, here is the link 3020.prl, but I make no guarantees that this will: a) give you 3g, 2) even work on your phone, and d) not screw up your phone. I'm still a noob when it comes to this stuff but this new-fangled internets has all sorts of helpful guides good luck

Hey thanks, I too am in jax and I cant get the 3020 prl at all, but I will put it in and see where it goes from there.

 

[tms592]

hell I tried to update mine 5 times yesterday, friday.
And drove around different areas, downtown, and riverside as well as the beaches today tried again 6 or so times.
would not update, I always got the friendly your phone is now updated message though

 

[teh_dude]

Guys, this topic has kinda spread to a couple other threads a bit, so here's a tip. Take a look at this post, and read the few posts beyond it, and also follow aflick3's link that you see, labeled "Problems since getting 3g". When aflick's on 3g, he cant do calls or texts, just data stuff. when it goes back to 1x for him, he gets those functions back.

OP: elcocho852: can you chime in? can you still do calls and texts when your 3g is on?

 

[puyow18]

I was sending/receiving texts from the stadium (where i noticed i had 3g), but didn't try calling. Well the first preseason game is coming up soon, so that'll be my next opportunity I suppose

 

[new optimus]

Well got an update, though how good is still to be seen,
I put the 3020 prl on, and f'd up my meid info, had to look that up and reput it all back, now I got it all back and phone is working, showing evdo.0 but have not done any testing to see about phone calls text or even web, will let you know.

 

[new optimus]

Ok I got great news, here at my house in jax, near merril rd. I have 3g symbol and even better then that I get 700kb/s download speed.

 

[new optimus]

For anyone wanting to do this, using lgnpst when you connect the phone and open it go to the prl tab and select the 3020 prl an that should be it, obviously dont unplug the phone during the process.

 

[puyow18]

nice. I was around southside and beach blvd (in jax) today and the 3g popped up again. AND then i got a phone call and answered it with no problems. by the time the call ended i was back at the house and my phone went back to 1x. So calls and texts seem to work for me when using 3g, might be just a few unlucky ones with text/voice issues.
