Hey guys, can't find the answer anywhere but, whenever I connect to a cell network 3g/4g or lose the connection whatever I am doing on the phone sound wise is interrupted by an alert. Any idea how to turn this off?
You're right, there doesn't seem to be a setting for that - unfortunately

I agree on this one. I tried browsing system files in hopes of locating and replacing the file but didn't have any luck. Pretty embarrassing when I'm at work and my pocket starts twinkling repeatedly as my phone tries reconnecting to network.
Well back to Verizon and the fascinate on Thursday. Don't have 4g in MN yet anyhow

Its definitely Touchwiz related, never happened on my Nexus.

Recently when I restarted my phone, the 3G symbol doesn't show. Switched to edge and it appeared then switched to 3G again but now can't even connect. Just shows the 4 bars with no edge/3g symbol.

Flashed anything recently? Maybe you're just in a dead zone. What rom and modem are you running?
I haven't rooted my phone yet. My reception is great but it has just acted like this lately.

In that case I'd say its either local interference or perhaps a malfunction with the nearest cell tower. Either way if you haven't rooted yet and it persists, I'd call T-Mobile.
I can now go to edge but still can't to 3g. Thanks. I'll call them.

Also, make sure you're in a 3G area.

Must be the area as aloneinshadow suggested, unless you have changed settings, such as: use only ........ network, intended for battery save. Sorry I can't be more specific but my current rom does not have that option. I just know that 2.1 has it, if you are on Eclair.

So I can't bare to be without my Epic every waking second of the day. sue me. My problem is I'm moving out of the country and am keeping my phone. I want to basically use it as a wifi enabled android powered mp3 player. Problem is I'm worried it will constantly be searching for a signal. I've removed my msid and phone number from my ##msl# dialer code, but the phone still searches for a signal killing the battery life (I've seen the difference in the battery menu between no signal and airplane mode). I would leave it in airplane mode and be happy except that you don't get bluetooth while in airplane mode. is there a way I can just get the cell radio out of the os since I'm not going to need it anymore, and still keep my bluetooth, wifi, and gps functionality?
Thx in advance for any advice

Did you check out the ##3282# menu? Might be something useful in there

You can disable just the cellular radio using Tasker... this will still allow you to use wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc...
##debug# is an interesting dialer.code as well

I don't have Tasker anymore but I believe you just create a widget with the action of Phone > Radio > Off or something to that effect.
Then when you click the widget it will simply put an X over the signal bars instead of that annoying airplane, still allowing you to use all the secondary radios.

Can I ask a question here? I live in Phoenix, Arizona and I don't get any 4G. Does anybody else have this problem? Like, come on Sprint. I'm in the capitol of the Grand Canyon State.

627 posts and you thread jack?
I was thinking today. Sadly the day will eventually come when I will get a new phone. I love my EVO and would probably want to keep it around after I move on. Would there be any point to creating a ROM that basically turns the phone into a mini WiFi tablet. Maybe removing the phone and 3g and 4g capabilities would make the phone quicker and last longer battery wise. I honestly don't know as I'm a noob. But it was just a thought. Maybe this could be accomplished by simply removing some system apks. Idk.

Airplane mode.

Hey man,
The fastest way to turn off the 3g connections is airplane mode, but for best rom to run if you are going to use it as a reader tablet thing lol I would either suggest cm7 or you might like this!

Wouldn't airplane mode kill WiFi too?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
Pretty sure if you turn on airplane mode first, then wifi on, it works. If I remember correctly.

Lol we live in Stephens city too (my fiance and i) and we're having the same issue with our g2's. Weirdly enough, it started happening right after we rooted our phones :-/ don't know if that had much to Do with it though... Not sure what it is but there's one thing I Do know it is and that's annoying! I hate having to answer my phone constantly because I'm worried it's an important call only to find out that I probably should have ignored it! Grrr... I don't like being on the phone much either and now I'm forced to take all calls
Settings / Call / Privacy Keeper. What are the settings checked there?
Disabled should show incoming call information.
See if that's the issue and let us know the result.

Mine only does it on 4g lte if i manually switch to 3g it works and it was doing this before i rooted. And the settings in privacy are disabled

Drat. That's all I know to do.
My device is also rooted, and it's working on mine.
Wonder if it's tied specifically to when 4G isn't available.

Idk cause when im in an area with no 4g lte it works just fine. But as soon as 4g lte kicks in it acts up

So i went into the sprint store tonight and was talking with a district manager about my issue and he said that its a known issue and they are working on pushing an update within the next few days, he said that its only for the triband phones. But i think im gonna trade the phone in for the note 3 ole samsung has never given me any problems

Had anyone suffered consequences for using data to much? Ever since I got my s4 I've been using 4g all the time listening to music from Google music Netflix etc. Last month I did about 10gb it's only been like 5 days on this month cycle and I'm already at 5.5gb so was wondering if I can see consequences or will I be good? Reason I have so much use is that I don't ever turn on my Wi-Fi since I have 4g I just leave it as is...in case you're wondering.

Nope you are fine.
Unless you're roaming a lot, they will not say a thing. I was using far more than that this summer via the hotspot mod wireless tether, and they never bothered me about it.
nope thats the benefit of having sprint

Ok thanks guys

Like the above posters said you should be ok. I do know someone that was booted from sprint entirely for too much data used while roaming, lol. They get a little upset about that for sure.
