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

[twistedriku]

where i can get LGNPST and the that prl??

The prl is downloadable from a link someone posted in this thread earlier. It'll be the 3020.prl in blue text. As for the lgnpst, you need to be sure to get the lab version and not the store. there is a thread posted by andyo and it gives you a link to download a rar file. However since it is a cracked version, you must follow the read me file or else you will not get it to work.

Holy crap. I live in Miami, Florida. WHERES MY 3G?????? Lol sounds like Metro is stepping their game up. I thought they were skipping 3g entirely and going to 4g.

they are putting it in some markets to alleviate network problems. discussed endlessly over on another forum. a few markets, not all, temporary and CAPPED. They can't let the 3G be too good as they still want to push everyone over to LTE.

Some markets will never see this 3G. Depends on where you live. Metro will NEVER announce it as it will make all the other customers mad.

You opened up the wrong one, go to C:/LGelectronics/LGNPST/ in your hardrive and look for the application file that DOESNT have "General" in it.

UPDATE: Anyone in Miami we dont have 3G in Miami, I was just on a job world tour around Miami (on south beach, downtown, and aventura) no area has 3G. I checked.

If metro never announced it, how is what you or anyone in that other forum say/s reliable information? Still sounds like speculation to me.

No, nothing has changed with my phone. My spc is still the same. I haven't had any need to retrieve my SPC--that's what I thought I made pretty clear. All along, I was trying your alternate methods of obtaining my SPC, ***even though I already have it saved from prior retrieval***, just because I was curious, like I stated above. So when I said "it doesn't work," that means the website didn't work. Saying the website didn't work means I that when I put in my MEID, the website says it doesn't recognize my MEID. So, the whole issue is moot, because I was just curious anyway, since, like I said, I already got the information a while back via CDMA workshop. Have I made it clear this time?

EDIT: The above probably seems unkind. I was irritated because by what you had asked and said to me, it seems as if you hadn't read what I originally stated about my efforts in trying your suggestions.

Sorry, I thought you said the site gave you the wrong spc.

I guess a bit of misunderstanding thats all.

Chazz if you look at my photo I have 700kb/s download speed, that is not too bad. Though for how long I have no idea.

 

[rcookie]

OK so im on 3g and 3020 prl but stuff like youtube are still the same speed and plus is takes about 2 or 3 hours just for one text to go through

 

[new optimus]

if your not getting any faster speeds they may have it capped where you are, hell it may be they are systematically capping it everywhere they turned it on.

I was having a problem with text messages going through as well, at first. Unfortunately I can't write more right now (I'm at work), but it did clear up.

185 kbps is about average for what I'm getting as well.

What part of north DFW? I'm over in Garland and am getting it. I first saw it about a week ago. I've found though, when I goto the Marsh and Forest lane areas, I don't get it. Also the Hillcrest Beltline areas I don't get it. I haven't been over to Richardson yet to see about it there.

 

[teh_dude]

Man you're exploring it pretty hard. All I can say is you probably won't see much more than a flicker driving down Division, Abram, nearby. lol. And that's just cuz I go to the QT sometimes.

Nah. I head over to those areas frequently (my in-laws live near the Hillcrest/Beltline intersection and my brother-in-law lives near Marsh/Forest Lane area). Also, for my job (I work for IBM repairing servers), I travel a bit.

 

[teh_dude]

oh ok

 

[new optimus]

Just did several speed test all different servers different parts of the country.

I am going to post this in several of the threads so people can see it.

I wish I could get speeds like that. Mine are consistently below 200 kbps.
