    I have 10025 on both of my phones. Still, everytime I call Claire, she
    tells me that an upgrade is available and then I have to wait through
    the pretend download. When a download is really occurring, the phone
    says "programming" or some such. It says nothing with the phony
    downloads. I indicated this to them the last time I called, but I was
    transferred to second level support which had unlimmitted hold times, so
    I just hung up!

    Sometimes rebooting the phone will show the new PRL.

    There has been major problems on Sprint's end with the OTA updating
    process since 10015 was released. It's not your phones that's at fault
    it's Sprint's system.

    I was able to get 10025 on my Sanyo 8200 just fine. That is, after going
    through the usual hoops trying to find someone at Customer Care who
    realizes PRL updates are not a bad thing...

    I have found that occasionally even though Claire tells you the update is
    finished, it's really not, and you need to talk to Claire for a few minutes
    (check your balance or something) in order for it to finish. Try that...

    I agree with Steve. I've learned to wait until Claire starts reading me
    the Main Menu before I end the call. I have 10025 on 4 phones.

    This would be the PERFECT time for me to go off on another rant about
    Sprint's continued hatred toward the whole PRL upgrade concept... but I
    won't.

    Just look at your phone. It indicates that it is being "programmed" and
    it indicates when it is finished. I have found that my Samsung and
    Sanyo phones all ended their updates when Claire said they were
    finished. Sometimes, it takes a reboot of the phone for the update to
    show.

    Aren't the reboots automatic? At least that, that's what I've noticed
    everytime I've done a PRL upgrade OTA.

    Not on my A680 it wasn't. I seem to recall one of my other phones
    rebooting automatically in the past, but I don't recall which [probably
    the Sanyo phones].

    The reboots are not automatic on the Samsungs. Only other brands.

    I took my VM4500 to the Sprint Store yesterday to get the Firmware and
    PRL updated. When they returned it to me, nothing, including the PRL,
    had been updated. I called *2, just to see if they had flagged my
    account for an update, and they had, but just like Jack, the update is
    never applied. I am just left with 10023.

    As others have suggested, I have tried talking to Claire for a little
    while, etc. but nothing. I have gotten OTA updates on this phone
    previously without a problem. Also, once the update is "complete" and
    I end the call, the phone does not automatically reboot as it has in
    the past. I can only assume that Sprint is having a problem on their
    end.

    I was always under the assumption that ...
    prompted or not.. a power off/power on cycle is necessary to see the new PRL
    level...

    Also, I've always made some assumptions...
    - You always need some 'free memory'... otherwise where is the workarea for
    the new PRL while downloading?
    - Phones are 'slow processors' - Don't be in a hurry to reboot....

    Luckily, for me the Sanyo 5300 seems to automate the process after the PRL
    download begins...
    You can stay on *2 as long as you want.. but as soon as your end.... you
    WILL reboot... no choice involved!!
