try wiping your data and reflashing, maybe that will fix it

Instead of starting from scratch, go to the market and download an app called sound manager. Once you're in it hit menu>vibrate settings then chose the setting you want. I have mine set to "vibrate only when silent." works for me

same problem here, I really don't wanna wipe but I'm afraid that is the only fix. My friend has an Incredible that had the same prob and VZW wiped it for her and it worked again....I would rather figure out why it has happened to prevent it from happening again.

The sound manager program worked thanks for everything I chose vibrate whenever possible and it worked. Gotta love the internet and the people in it.I'm knew to android os is there Any recommended apps or games I should get

Oh wow, I had the exact same problem. This problem was obvious to me as soon as I upgraded to OTA 1.47.(insert rest of numbers here) last week. Plus it broke my Microsoft Exchange syncing. That was the day I decided to root my phone as soon as possible since I don't think I can rely on Sprint/HTC to push out a fix or upgrade without breaking something.
Now I'm happily running a rooted EVO with Damage Control 3.2.3.

[Q] No sites except Google work over 3g, wifi is fine. Why?

So last night after 2am sometime, both my Droids experience this phenomenon. Can't load Facebook. Hmmm. Strange. Just hangs.
After it just worked an hour before, literally!
Ok, so I connect to wifi. Works like a charm. I think to myself, something with verizon right now or something.
I wake up the next morning (no wifi at home) and only a few sites will load. Dolphin's default home page, and any Google site.
Must be Adfree Android. I revert my hosts file. No luck. That would affect both wifi and 3g anyway, so that's not it!
These phones are on completely separate plans fwiw, one is for work.
So I boot into clockwork and backup the fascinate and do a data/factory wipe. Strange. Apparently that doesn't work on our phone. NONE of my apps or data (like my angry birds progress) are even missing. Nor my bookmarks.
BUT all web sites work now. What? I can't actually tell what clockwork's "factory data rest" even did. Because it sure didn't do what, as I understand, it's supposed to.
Does anyone have an idea, or at least know what clockwork wipes so that I can avoid this in the future, and/or fix it on my Eris?

I had the same issue when I woke up this morning. All of a sudden the browser, Facebook, etc. just stopped working.
I ended up doing a factory wipe, as well as Odin reload of system, kernel and recovery, and all worked well.
Around 5:30, data went out again! I really have no idea what could have happened to cause this, but I am on Wifi now and am not seeing issues, so it seems like it may be a network problem.

Interesting turn of events.
I reprogrammed my phone using the *228 number, option 2. After that, I had full data capabilities, including improved GPS.
We'll see how well this goes. Hopefully this is a permanent fix.

regaining data connection

Hi guys,
I tried to do a search but didn't find anything that worked...
I've been recently losing my 3g/1x data connection a lot for long periods of time (30 min or more). It's annoying since I can't check my e-mail, or listen to Pandora, basically all the things I got this phone for since I'm limited to what I can do on my computer at work.
Anyway, is there a bizarro fix for this? I've tried rebooting the phone, airplane mode on/off, and updating my profile. I remember with my old medium intelligence phone I could tell it to check my e-mail or something and trick it into waking up the data but no such luck as the phone complacently accepts there's a connection error.
Thanks in advance!

You may want to try letting folks know if you are running stock or a custom rom, which one it is and what modem version. Whenever I run into strange issues with my phone that isn't attributed to the rom I'm running, I just ODiN back and reflash through the process and that usually takes care of most problems. G'luck.

I have noticed mine does that too occasionally. Turning 4g on and then back off usually makes 3g start working again for me.
In my case my phone sometimes has trouble finding 3g after using wifi for a while, toggling 4g almost always makes 3g work again.

Oh right! I'm just on the stock rom.
Toggling 4g and wifi doesn't work for me. Thanks for the suggestion though.
It happens more at work so it probably has something to do with that. I generally always end up roaming but I haven't had trouble in the past with using roaming data. It still says unlimited on the Sprint account website and will come back every once and a while. (I know because it'll notify me of new mail or something random.)

are you in an area of low reception? that could cause it but not sure if there is a work around for it...

this same thing happens to my wife's epic.but not regularly..
I updated the prl and seems to stopped doing it,,

I was having the same issue coming out of Airplane mode. The 3G was coming back sporadically and then not at all. I called Sprint support and they had me do a phone Restore through the service menu ##3282# (you need your MSL) and it reset the phone like it was going through the activation process. It wasn't a factory reset so I didn't have to reinstall any apps. It did work the first time but after that it started happening again.
I finally went into the Sprint store and they did a hard reset, which is the same as a factory reset (I think) Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset. That was a couple of days ago and I haven't had the problem since.
Unfortunately, this requires completely wiping out your installed apps. I was on the stock rom and unrooted so I hadn't backed up with Titanium Backup (needs root). But I did use AppBak to backup my list of apps so that it was easier to restore them from the Market. If anyone knows a way to backup and restore similar to Titanium, that doesn't require root, let me know.

I was having the same problem with mine and nothing worked so they gave me another one. If it's that bad call sprint tech or take it they will probably give you another one

I use "Sprite Mechanic" for backing up my APK's to SD card. It only recognizes market and 3rd party installed apps. Can be found in the market for free.

***EPIC - NEED HELP TXT MESSAGING, BLUETOOTH, QIK for EB13 *PLEASE!

OK I need help and serious input since these are the things I use the most. I will give you a little history also. On 0:00 Tuesday 02/22/2011 I downloaded samsung update for EB13. I flashed the phone, and everything went well even the one-click-root-2.5.5. So with my issues appearing I researched and seen many others had issues not like mine. I called Sprint they had me do a hard reset on my phone. Still the issues are a not real bad but I had having to restart my phone 6 or 7 times a day. I even went to the store and the rep said there were no so called "quote issues with the EPIC cause he has one". I need my phone re-flash. I told him I did that. He said have a hard reset done to it. I did it the day after the I flashed it. I told him I still have issues and no one has been able to help me. He said take the phone back and get a new one then. His name is Mike at the Sprint Store on Oleander Dr Wilmington, NC. Lots of help Mike. Just admit the software is sh*t like the phone reps did on the phone. Re-flashing and a hard reset is something I already did, and removed alot of useless app, from the guide on switch apps to remove. So PLEASE someone come up with some mods or ideas to help me. PLEASE. I got no clue on this.
1. Txt messaging. After an hour of non use when trying to send a txt. The txt hangs. I tried de-activating and a signal refresh. Dont work. Only fix is re-start the phone, and re-send the txt.
2. Bluetooth. After non use for an hr Bluetooth says it is still connected. When calls comes in however it is not connected. I have to manual connect, or if no call, I have to do a signal refresh. Not even turning off bluetooth works. The Sprint rep says it is the only work around they have and know about it.
3. QIK. Ok Qik on 2.1 used do a portrait on the front camera. Now it records only as landscape, but shows as portrait. I spoke to Sprint about this also and they said it some I am going to have to deal with. I drive alot to job to job, so I dont have alot of time to play with settings.

bluetooth problems?
i have flashed the eb13 froyo onto my epic with the eb13 supernova,genocide .3a kernal and everything seems to be almost perfect except i still can not give voice commands over my bluetooth ....it will activate, say speak now and then it will disconnect before i can even give a command...if there is a fix for this please let me know...thanks

Txt messenging found
I found the same issue and a fix for it other than reboot. This was found back in July on another phone and carrier but with Android 2.2 Froyo. So this issue is with the OS its self.
A. Settings menu
B. Applications menu
C. Manage Applications
D. Messaging app
E. Force Close button

Re: Android 2.2 text message problem
Fixed it!!! In case anyone else out there is having the same problem, the way I fixed it was by going to the Settings menu from the home screen, then to the Applications menu, then to Manage Applications, then to the Running tab, then to the Messaging app with the icon that Andriod uses for the text function. Then I clicked on the Force Close button. Now it sends text message with no problem. Go figure.

Back up your data with MyBackup Root, use Odin to restore full, clean EB13, then use the Market or AppBrain to reinstall your apps, and your backup to restore only the data for those specific apps. That will solve almost all problems related to the OTA update, including yours, OP.

But he used the .exe...
I think he mightve removed something by accident...was the "apps safe to remove" thread updated for EB13?

Thanks everyone for replying with some needed input and issues of your own. I do think I can live with the messaging app since I found a temp fix for it(force close). I also believe I can live with Qik recording in landscape, even though it was not designed that way for the front camera. However I cannot live the issue of Bluetooth. I need as I will never put a touch screen phone to my ear or listen to it on speaker, like some of these dumb a$$ doing this walking around in public. I drive from job to job and it is very difficult for me to play with setting while driving. NC is becoming a handsfree cell phone state like so many others, and there is no txting while driving at all. It is a dangerous thing to do. I have read older posts from other phone that received 2.2 much earlier in the year and I believe that is OS is $hit. However 2.1 does not have Bluetooth activated command dialing.
*So for you people that are catching up, I did install from the exe and seemed to work fine and even after I rooted with a clockworkmod 2.5.1 recovery. I even did a hard reset with Sprint. I did not removed any important applications as mobile hotspot is this there. I have not upgraded to any new kernel, or rom. These issues are minor, but a major inconvenience. Bluetooth will work for awhile, but then with a call comes in after a hr of rebooting I have to connect manually after it has been paired. ""Sprint said that this was a issue known in the OS, but I am wondering if anyone has found a kernel or mod to correct this issue?""

Why not back it up and then go into cwm and clear the cache/DCache and then run the .exe without removing ANYTHING and see if your problems persist?
If they don't, then take out an .apk one at a time until you find the one that breaks your functions...

I have the same trouble since the weekend. I use the new market v.3.1.3. But also after I switched back to the old market the problem still exist. May be the Google servers are a bit overloaded these days?

Had the same issue a few times since the weekend. Seems to be ok now though.

so... i had the same problem too! you have to wait longer... than the usual pacience...

IF clearing data in settings/program/manage program/market... didn't work, then solution is the following....
After accepting agreement in market, go to the app you want to download and install. BIT LET THE PICTURRS AND ALL LOAD BEFORE PRESSING INSTALL, then it will work if you always do that, but must first clear data as described.
Hope it helps and works for you all, it did for me...all times, as I flash constantly
