4g down in Chicago? - EVO 4G General

Any Chicago people having 4G issues today? Just stopped working for me last night. Status goes from scanning to connecting and loops like that. Thought it was a rom issue but I have flashed a few different roms, flashed the stock kernel, stock rom, reflashed the wimax update and even did the radio update again. Still wont connect. Just wanted to see if it is just me or maybe it is a network issue.

[Q] Poor Network Connection

I am using Syndicate Rom Frozen 1.1.0 and have been loving how fast it is. The only issue I have discovered is that the indicator at the top is showing 0 or 1 bar for 3g network. Therefor I have been missing about 75% of calls, and dropping more. I came from factory DI18 Eclair. I had to flash the rom twice to get it to work. Still no 3g service. (fyi...flashed yesterday)
Your phone probably doesn't like the EC05 modem. Flash the EB13 modem.

ya that sounds similar to the last few days, i definitely think sprint is doing something..
I am near Portland, OR. I was on EC05 and things were working fine. I flashed back to factory DI18 and then to SRF. Things didn't get slow until SRF. Should I reflash the EC05 modem, or just try EB13? I too am roaming where I normally have full service.
Anyone else have issues with the xda app today? Kept timing out for me...this is the first I've been able to get in the app today..sprint shenanigans? I'm still on eb13 srf 1.02

Better signal unrooted

I bought my ns4g about a week and a half ago coming from a tbolt on Verizon. I got it at 8pm and had it rooted by 9. I immediately installed cm7 and have been using every nightly. My signal was horrible. I had nothing at work and barely one at home. It also would barely hold a wifi signal even when laying the phone right next to my router. I've updated my profile and manually put prl 60679 on the phone and nothing improved. The only time I could get 3g was using the Verizon hybrid prl ( I don't have 4g here). I called sprint and updated the msi? And the lady said I was in great coverage at work and good at home. The signal was so bad in 4 ours of the phone sitting in my pocket doing nothing I lost 50% battery everyday. So this morning I unrooted to take the phone back to sprint for an exchange. I've been using it stock for about an hour and now wifi is good even outside my house and I get 2-3 bars most of the time. Is there any reason why this would be? I have owned about 90% of Verizon's android phones so I'm not new to this, I've just never seen this kind of difference between stock and rooted. I think I will wait and see if it stays like this or gets worse now and switch to the 3d if it is still bad. I switched to the nexus s because I love plain android, butit was so bad before I couldn't even make phone calls or send text unless I got lucky and it would connect.

the only thing i know on the subject is i left my phone unrooted for a couple of days. never noticed a difference after rooting. seems to be many conflicting reports on signal issues when it comes to the nexus. i have generally lower signal (3g 4g wifi) than my evo. really hope its software related so i can get a fix.
Rooting doesn't affect the phone's radio.
Maybe the ROM was bad?
ive been watching my signal strength for a day and its usually around -86. my evo was always -90 or more
It could be the rom I just don't get it. I've never had a problem with cm7. I'm going to root and fund it stock rooted and see then maybe go with something else

damn i like soju 2.6 too. oh well stocks not bad either. i see theres 4 kernels to chose from and 2 are experimental
ok so i flashed my "out_of_the_box" back up and updated prl and profile and my status numbers are the same. i did notice tho that with soju 2.6 i was on evdo rev 0, and now back to stock im on rev A
now wtf? after i flashed a netarchy kernal (stable bfs 2.3.4) im on rev 0 again. what going on here?
Here's what I'm gauging my claim on. I live in a basement apartment so I get awful service anyway. But, on CM7 I can't make a call without it dropping, and mms is out of the question. On stock, I can almost always get through a call and mms sends no problem. I have an airave and its the same story on that. CM7 the mms just sits there with the icon spinning forever. Stock it sends almost instantly. I keep a backup of both and just switch between depending on what I'm doing.

My favorite quote "Engineers are educated beyond their intelligence." Ironically, I am in school for engineering
Now I have a problem. I rooted again and right now I am stock rooted. My signal is back to being bad again. So I can either remain stock or switch back to Verizon or go with 3vo. I came to sprint just for this phone so I can root and play. I don't know what to do. I have 18 days left until my 30 is up...
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I rooted a couple days ago, haven't noticed much of a difference in signal strength practically... BUT my time without signal went from 1% to about 8% . Obviously battery life suffered somewhat.
Currently I'm on EvDO rev. A.
Will continue to post updates.
So I have switched to the hybrid 00001 prl for now and I get decent signal, eve get some at work. I figure if I'm going to switch tithe 3vo in a week I won't go over the 300mb roam limit. Its a shame too I like this phone, I just want something j can play with.

EVDO rev 0 to rev A switches depending on signal quality.

Has anyone ever had this data problem?

Alright this is just stupid. So I wake up this morning using facebook and browsing xda over 3g. I pop up power menu and turn off data, and leave phone for 30mins. I come back, turn on 3g and nothing. I've went to network settingsand fiddled with all the options there; 4G, txting, calling, and wifi work. I also had the "error: 67."
Only things I've tried is cwm wipin and flashing. I currently am away from home so can't just odin =/

Maybe try switching modems? Sfr doesn't include a kernel so try changing to a different kernel also, some of the newer kernels and roms have the modem flash in the install.
Also j would call sprint and ask if there has been any changes to ur data or hotspots plan, they should be of some help in that end. I'm kinda curious as to how that would happen tho.

This happened to my wife's phone went into see what modem I put in and it was gone there as nothing but characters re flashed modem all set.
I get this all the damn time. Especially around my area. What works for me is re-entering the MSL & resetting it to default. It reactivates the device & you'll get your data back!
When I called Sprint about this, they told me that it was because the phone "jumped" to a different tower that wasn't so close. Hope that helps!

Your bill is paid, right? I thought I had a problem like that one time but turns out my payment wasn't taken out when it should have.
But since you're getting an error it has to be something else.
I believe error 67 refers to wrong vision username/password. Have you tried something simple such as Update Profile? Worse comes to worst you can always do an rtn reset...
edit: CWM doesnt write to those areas... Neither does Odin.

Random loss of reception?

Anyone experiencing this? Sometimes ill be on the internet for an hour then randomly my signal will drop and after a minute or so it will come back. Also if I haven't used my phone for awhile and right when I'm about to Google something the internet cuts off then comes back a minute later.
Im trying to figure out if its my phone or T-Mobile fault. Its not roms or radios because Ive tried a few different ones.

The op may not have answered his own question. I have similar issues with my phone. Found a few little glitches with how my phone reacts to firmware. I need to write up my findings in a new thread. Pretty interesting stuff. I had a big issue that I was able to fix and it may work for a bunch more people too.

I domt think so, i have noticed, with stock, i get a strong 4g signal. BUt when i switch to different roms, the signal fluctuates.
I have tried: Darkside, creamed glacier, cm7, virtuous unity affinity quattro
Dclaw please share your findings!
Btw my gf also has a mytouch 4g but its stock unrooted and has the same problems as me.

Happens to me quite often. I'm running the latest radio and I think that's the problem for me. It never happened with the previous radio it had. Reason I haven't messed with it is because it works great in the city and I'm always on wifi at home. It bugs me because I send a text and signal drops to 0, "message not sent, will resend when data services are available." back to 3 bars, then resends.

I have the Panache here in Canada through Mobilicity, basically the same phone with a different name, and this is a known issue with the entire batch they sold. I'm pretty sure it's a phone issue on HTC's part that doesn't seem to have a fix for it. I can't remember what the reason was exactly but google Panache no signal or something like that and you should be able to find it.

Random lost of signal
Hi erverybody,
"dclaw_fantum" said he found a suggestions for that, but what is it? I am with Mobilicity (Canada) too and I have the same issue with my phone (also the panache). My friend is also with mobilicity but has a different phone and not any problem like this. It is strange because I am having full reception and it just turns of... totally. At least there should be a GSM signal or WCDMA signal, but it just turns off. Sad that HTC is not trying to fix this, as it seems an issue for a lot of people. Greetings.
It has to do with your Rom that your using or Radio either or can be your problem.

MyTouch 4G with Wind here. Same issue.
Tried 3 different radios and 2 stock and one custom rom and I have the same problems.
I've been leaning towards the problem being a combination of the radio and the rom and how they interact with each other rather than just one of them as it doesn't seem to make any difference what combination of the two you use.
I'm not a developer though, so I might be way off...

That's weird... mine works great and is a super quick lock... accurate too! If it doesn't get fixed w/ an update i would exchange it... I used to have the Galaxy S and it had an issue w/ the gps antenna not being soldered right into the board... maybe an issue w/ yours, you will have to see.
Do a search for fixes. I saw one posted somewhere that was flashable.

Well, I apologize as there are a few threads on this. Seems to be a real issue. In demand, did you then off WiFi and try? With WiFi mine is spot on.
Lot of threads -no solutions I'm afraid. A few got new phone so no help. A few tried flashing apk's but no help. Hoping firmware?

Wait a minute, you don't know how to get back to your own house? And you were within a mile? Sorry, this just made me giggle a little. Glad you got out figured out.

Haha. Meant can't lock within a mile. In this case "home" meant a hotel to make matters worse.

I'm experiencing the same problems with mine. It can't get a good lock on my location. I thought it was a google maps issue so I downloaded waze but the problem persists. GPS Status app says I'm connected to 4/12 satellite when I'm outside. I want to return it, but my rootchecker has been tripped. It won't reset even after restoring to stock 4 times. In download mode it says "unrooted" for about an hour before going back to "ROOTED" in all red letters. Any help is appreciated.
Having issues keeping a lock after getting my initial lock. Been posting below in another thread.
