I noticed that the new radio ruins my reception.
Places where i had moderate reception went to zilch.
My 3G speeds are atrocious when it works, other times it just disconnects and only comes back on when i toggle the mobile internet on and off.
Anyone else notice these issues? I was browsing around and I think this was a problem for when the Desire updated also.
I don't know whether to direct my anger at google or htc. how did they manage to make things on a whole worse with an update.
Mine did the Same with the the Leaked RUU update to install the official .6 update.
After it installed i logged in like normal and saw it was acting up. So i did a factory reset and it's worked great ever since
I've done the factory reset and I'm still getting horrible connection speeds where I used to get usable speeds.
Try update profile.. not sure if that will help..

Unfortunately that did not work. I'm on the latest PRL and everything, can't figure what it could be other than the network. Although it's not unlike the problem I was having with my PC recently after getting a new router, download speeds were almost nonexistent while uploads were fine. I just ran speedtest again and I got 7kbps down/>200kbps up. For my PC I had to get a new network adapter. Don't know how I could do that for my Evo.

since i had updated to the new radio my signal been dropping randomly out of no where then comes back.. i had about 20 drop calls since i had flashed to the new radio from haykuro blog and the magic spl. and then i had use JF adp1.5 and that when my E and bars stop dropping.. anyone out there know whats the problem? or is it just t-mobile towers
same thing happened to me. not sure what the issue was but i re-downloaded the radio file from htc, updated the pone and things were back to normal.....actually better.
after the update my signal strength improved. in areas i normally only get E coverage, i now get 3G. in areas i had marginal 3g coverage i now get more bars, etc
aiight cool, cause i was having the same exact issue...so I'm going to reapply the latest radio update...thanks guys.

Same here.So happy.
I was wondering where I can get the update for this?
I have had huge problems with the 1.5 radio for the Dream (2_22_19_26I) ever since upgrading. I even tried to reinstall the radio, to no avail. I still kept losing wifi every x minutes even though the status icon reported a strong signal, and the only way to get it to work again was to restart wifi manually. I also lost positioning via the 3G/GSM network after xx hours, and the only solution was to reboot the phone.
Anyways, I decided to revert back to the 1.1 radio, 1_22_14_11, which seems to have fixed these issues.
where can i get that old radio download?
HELP!!! updated radio now phone get no service!!!
i updated to the new radio just like everyone else then my phone starts dropping my data connection...NOW i reverted back to the 1.1 radio that i downloaded from htc and i still get no service!!! HELP!!!

Call T-mobile and ask them to check the towers around you.

Update:
Ok, so the old radio did not fix the problems, which means this is either an issue with Android 1.5/JFv1.50 or I have one or several apps installed that is causing this. A possible third option would be a funky SD card.
Just a simple poll to see how many people have worse 3G stability after the radio update. Personally, it's really bad for me.... I'll get about 5-10 mins of 3G (4 bars) access before it decides not to work in any app. To use data, I have to switch over to Edge which works 100% of the time.
I still get the same 3G as far as I have noticed, but I'm seeing some strange data rates: just tested at 903 down and 789 up. I've had more than a few of these results, even some where the up speed is higher than the down. All since the new radio. App I'm using is speedtest.net FWIW.
Hmmm... I did notice my 3G is faster but so much less stable. I still can't access the 3G since I started the topic. Hopefully someone else from Oklahoma sees this thread... maybe it's just my area.
I can get on EDGE all I want... I just can't do 3G, regardless of the fact I have 4 bars of it. It just pings the server every 5 secs and gets nothing in return, almost like the server is either refusing it or not there. I wonder if I have a bad APN?
I'm using the stock 2.1 rom+update from the other day... I installed a small superuser+highmem hack from modaco just to root it. No other mods/themes have been installed.
I believe the bars are just relating to standard voice connection status not the quality of your 3G. I could be wrong though. I think you can have a great voice conn and shoddy 3G and vice versa.
In Chicago and I have the same issue. I had no 3G problems before the update and now my phone constantly switches between 3G/Edge/no service.
My battery life is also very very poor now due to this.
Not very happy. Half the time I get no 3G at all now whereas before I had 4 bars almost everywhere.
Those that are having problems,
Settings | wireless & networks | mobile networks| network operators | Select your network.
verify if your troubles continue.

Still having the problem... but after selecting T-Mobile, it now is showing the "upload" as solid instead of pinging every 5 secs... but I still get nothing downstream.
I play HomeRunBattle3D a lot and it constantly gets a weak connection or drops me out of the game.
At work I have 3G in only 1/2 the office now...
I flashed it to help but it def makes it worse for me.
I just applied the fix from above and will check back here after a few days...
I flashed this and I am using CM5 beta4 not sure if the E79 update has something else in the software as I dont think CM5 is using the OTA fixes yet so maybe the problem is there?
mine is difinately worse as well. Also after choosing tmobile network I think it made it even worse again. I assume this is similar to the problems others were having with the old radio when mine was fine. I was just hoping to maybe get some better reception with the new radio because that was lacking a bit.
now in my office where I used to get 3 bars 3g my phone is sitting here with 2-3 bars Edge. hmmm...I must admit though that it is browsing much faster on Edge than it was before...? Possible the roms are reading the radio incorrectly?
I used the phone on ATT edge before switching to tmobile and I was impressed by how fast even browsing was on ATT edge especially when Tmobile 3g didn't feel too much faster after I switched over. Tmobile edge was also dog slow. now Edge seems to have sped up a good bit....I might try flashing the stock rom for now and see how that does with the new radio.
Looks like those that are having issues are not running the stock rom (but have the new radio flashed). I'd be willing to bet switching back 100% stock (2.1 update-1)would resolve the issue.

I'm running stock.
Just to update everyone... I've had a good solid 3G connection for the past hour or so... with no hiccups.
*crosses fingers*
I'm beginning to think this is an issue on T-Mobile's end...
EDIT: Nevermind... there it went again.

I have not yet received the OTA update and I am seeing similarly large upload numbers today as well (it just started happening as of this morning). This is in the SF Bay Area. I'd be willing to be that they are more due to network upgrades than any changes in the 3G radio.
I'm on stock N1 bought on launch date. I had fine 3G before update and fine 3G after update. I would say I'm in 3G 99% of time. It even goes into HSDPA when I begin to surf and and when pages are done loading its back to UMTS..I've maybe only seen Edge once or twice since I've got my phone. I'm on Tmobile in Louisville .
It's been about the same pre/post update. It's rock solid 3-4 bars 3G w/HSPA most places, but bouncing between 3 bars of EDGE and 4 bars of 3G, with it usually being 2 bars of 3G at home. Before updating, it might have received one less bar everywhere.
3G seems to be around -100db, while 2G is around -70. Plus or minus 10db.
mine stayed the same, almost no 3G almost always edge, but now my GPS does not work.
Nexus on vodafone spain
I just had a single annoying problem related with 3G BEFORE the update...
And after the update...gues what?
It´s more of the SAME:
-Everytime I receive or make a CALL...my 3G connection switch to GPRS and doesn´t recover unless I change over Airplane Mode.
Please...tell me that I´m the only one
3G was fine before the update, and now rarely works, and takes a long time to start when it does.
Im in San Antonio TX and before update, my 3g would go to edge every now and again. Not too big of a deal really. But after my update (I did the OTA manually thanks to the forums! ) I get 3g constantly and have yet to see the edge pop up.
My connection is definitely much less stable. I now strugle to load pages when I have a 3g icon and at least 2 bars of signal. Before the update I had no trouble loading pages even with a really weak signal. Something is definitely ****ed with this half baked update.
I also posted athread on google support forums, please contribute your findings there as that i the only place where google can actually see feedback.

Peace All,
Has anyone been having problems w/ their 4G service wherein it hangs (on loading) a site that is heavily ladened w/ FLASH (not to be confused w/ the current Gtalk and market issues)? I've tried the plug-in selections of "ON DEMAND" and even "ALWAYS" and it seems that it takes my 4G almost 3 -4 minutes (if it even loads) just to download the site fully---my 3G is actually faster . I've ran speed tests and when i'm on 4G i"m pulling 4.63 mbps down and about 1.00 mbps up---I've even checked to see if my RSA keys were intact and they were. The people (customer service) seem oblivious to this problem. Is there a fix for this?
thanks in advance for anyone's insight to this problem
-ZDK-
I don't know, I'll check mine tomorrow when I'm in a 4g area.
Problem with customer service is, they don't have a clue with anything network related. All they do is check to see how many problems similar to what a person reports as a problem and then make a note of it.
No problems with flash on 4g.
FYI - I am running AVO v9 and Flash Fix 10 so I can watch Hulu, and it worked great.
Peace,
Well i guess I'm the only one---this has happened on every ROM I've tried (Ava9 and Myn's Rsl2)---I've called Sprint and I've ran various tests to check my 4G and my RSA keys are in tact and my MAC address is cool---I also have the latest radio, prl, pri and wimax versions---I'm going back to stock---theming and custom ROM's are too much of a hassle and not worth it (most people on here appear to be sooo OBSESSED about battery life that they turn off every function of the phone so that they can brag that they havent charged in 8 days ). I use my phone to the fullest and like running 4G--since im in a 4G saturated area---all day
Thanks anyway,
-ZDK-
use flash on demand, that speeds up all your site loadings, make the browser more stable, and removes ads, unless you like ads, .
For me flash site works perfect on 4G...
only issues i have on 4g are pc related, whether im tethered or using hotspot, if the 4g dips just a little the flash video stops loading, when i get to that part the players just hang at what ever the buffer says which is usually 45% to 51% and i have to refresh and jump to the place it stopped, the overall 4g connection is very stable, i have no clue whats going on
btw would you happen to be using dolphin browser hd?? there have been a lot of comments about browser slowdown with froyo and the site has a few suggestions to help speed it up
I've actually got the exact same problem as the OP. I recently did some modifications to the wimax settings so 4g would connect faster and stay connected longer and wonder if that may have something to do with it. Otherwise I do not know what might have changed.
Ok so I have been searching for an answer to my issue for a few days but have had no luck. My wife and I both have an evo that we got at the same time. I rooted both using the same method and and we both have the cm7 Tom with the kernel it comes with.
For the past week she has been having connection issues. Sometimes when accessing the android market it says network connection error and other times it works fine. When accessing the internet it will sometimes not load the page and say that the site may be down. The has been happening a lot to her lately. When these things happen I try the same sites on my phone and they work fine. This is all done over a 3g connection. I have tried resetting the phone to factory and then redoing the rom and nothing helps.
Any suggestions?
I'm having the same issues as well. I've flashed a few different roms and my radios are up to date.
I had similar issues and found that by tweaking the Pri, Prl, and radio...can be found in dev section, that I was able to overcome... could just be a bad combo with that rom
VyperVainz, do you mind sharing what worked for you? I'm running synergy with the latest pri, nv and radio.
I think this is a network issue. My wife and I have been having both data and texting issues. She has a blackberry so not Evo isolated.

Sprint's network has been pretty crappy lately. Slow speeds dropped loading pages, I don't think it's a rom issue

It's an internet, non phone issue. :-D I often go betwen wifi and the normal connection to get a connection to the market.
I've been looking everywhere for solutions to the weak Wifi on the Nexus 10, but didn't find any solutions yet.
The network also has an added wifi repeated connected via LAN, but still the Nexus keeps 1-3 bars of wifi.
I have another 5 or so Wifi devices, Galaxy S2, Lumia 920, iPhone, 2 laptops. None of these have any issues and are always on 4-5 bars, usually max all the time.
I've tested both on 2.4ghz and 5ghz, both to my Asus AC66U and also to an old RT-10, one Huawei, etc.
It's very clear that no matter the band or router settings, the Nexus 10 really has a weak signal reception in comparison.
Since the Nexus is new for me, it's on 4.3 and I don't know how it performed earlier.
Are there any other modem drivers or similar that can be flashed?
Any other experiences with custom ROM's?
Wifi strength has been a little weak since release honestly. Has been mentioned alot here and around the web for a while.
Now my problem since the latest update has been wifi drops where I lose wifi transfer completely even though the wifi icon shows a good connection.
I think this is something new (i know it is for me at least) and have been looking to see if anyone else has seen this issue in the latest software release.
If I toggle wifi off/on it works after but it is a huge pita.

This problem (wifi icon gray and no internet connection) started with 4.3 for me without question. Previously wifi connectivity was rock solid and I never gave a second thought to it. Nothing changed but the android version. I hope it is fixed in 4.4.

Yeah, another guy at work told me his is doing the same after 4.3. Surprised we aren't seeing it mentioned more around here.
Anyone else seeing wifi drops?

mine was doing the same thing. i tried clearing the cache, uninstalling apps that i thought might interfere and then a full factory reset. still had the same problem. i rooted and then did a factory reset from recovery and it hung up reinstalling apps so i did another factory reset still in and out. i did another factory reset and logged into my wifi and left for a few hours to work on something else. when i got back the signal showed full and about half of the apps installed. i reinstalled all of the apps that hadn't installed and it's working fine now. not sure why i had to wipe it 4 times but it's working fine now and streaming movies without a hiccup. i guess something kept getting corrupted during the setup or reinstall of apps. anyway it's been working fine for a few hours which is the best it's done in the last month.
