Well, of all the knowledge I do possess, you sir have just added something knew to the collection lol.

Really though thank you for the info, I never thought that was the case, I assumed that PRL'S were coverage area specific, as in an area that is 3g capable would be given a 3g prl and an area that still doesn't have 3g would have an older version.

all PRL does is updates the roaming list, its not a fix for anything, it just simply tells the phone what roaming towers to use if you are out side metros area

so the problem only happens when you are at home? like in side your house?

I get like no service in my bedroom, but thats been with every phone i've had, I happen to be right over an upstairs bathroom, maybe something in your house is blocking your signal, hang out the window when you need to use your phone lol.

No I never had this issue til about a week ago and I have to drive a quarter mile away from my house either way to get the 4g working. I appreciate you sharing troubleshooting tips with personal experiences, if nothing else hopefully someone who does have that issue will be directed to your post through google in the future.

It's the same way where I live.. Seems like if the wind is blowing i have to go outside to get a signal sometimes.. It was the same way with boost and verizon but metro is by far better.. use to set my phone in the top of the window and hook blue tooth up to it just to use it if i was in the room lol.. just the dead zone i happen to be in..
