Something I noticed - Vibrant General

Hello, I noticed something a few days ago.
It seems if you're about to get the JI6 update OTA the "3G" symbol will stay in your status bar regardless of whether your'e connected to a wifi network.
My phone did this for two days straight and on the 9th I got the "Update Available" notification.
My phones never done that before so that's why I'm inferring the phone does this when an update is available.

Did the same exact thing to me as well. Was very strange to see it there even tho I was on WiFi... I also got the update about 2 days after I noticed the 3G staying in the top bar when on wifi

Really? My phone was doing this and I thought it was a bug. I had just installed Juice Defender so I thought it was messing my phone up so I uninstalled it and rebooted my phone.
Interesting. I already installed JI6 via Odin though... think it will prompt me again?

happened to my phone too.. i rebooted my phone but made sure that my wifi is off before rebooting.. seemed to fix it for me..

Well, you never know.

I havnt got the update yet, but for the past few days my 3G icon has been staying on when the Wifi is connected too.

Updated, but don't have such thing before the update

Now that you mention it...
Actually, I haven't update yet and I just noticed my 3G indicator staying on while on WiFi also. I don't recall it doing that before. Don't know if the two are related, but I will let you know what happens.

I am using Bionix 1.7 (Based of the Official JI6) and my 3g Icon goes away

Means you are receiving something from t-mobile....so essentially tmo was sending you the update, which is sent by the network....and I imagine since it was large is why it was on for a couple of days....
Send a mms from your phone while on wifi.....you will see your 3G come on to send the message then go away when done....

well I've yet to receive the update so I guess I'll look out for this when it does come...

Error Code 67 - No 3G Data - Out of the blue!

Just happened out of the blue. Had wifi on, but wasn't at home, so went to turn it of, did some facebook checking and then checked for a prl update...now no 3g data and EC67.
Looks like it forgot our sprint user name and password.
Tried doing a ##3282#, which did nothing and ##775# doesn't work.
Running Fresh 3.2 and the new htc kernel.

Tried that but of course sense 3G doesn't work, it gave me the same error faster than I could press dismiss.
I'll try again via wifi and 4g.
EDIT: Looks like that fixed it - Thanks! Haha. I can't believe that I didn't think to try it over wifi/4g, but I remember trying to update my PRL over wifi/4g and it wouldn't work, awhile back.
EDIT 2: It didn't work. Haha. The Firmware updated without giving me the error, but now the profile update is giving me a 1020 error.
EDIT 3: I think I fixed it. I remembered that I had that startup cleaner app running and that it might be killing off the handsfree updater. Looks like I'm golden now.
I had the same issue yesterday, I updated profile a few times, didn't work. Updated PRL twice, it worked. I think it was a coincidence that it worked, probably an issue at Sprint's end.
I was having this issue last night and couldnt figure out why.. my wifi tether kept stalling out and my 3g kept going in and out.
Same here, they must have done something yesterday
Welcome to hell, dude. My wife and I have been experiencing these errors for weeks now. I have tried everything in the book and nothing seems to be a permanent fix. Updating PRL and Profile is temporary at best. PRI Update to 1.40, then to 1.77 did nothing either. This bites.
Wow. When it first happened I was taking my Grandma to the store and half expected to find everybody on XDA freaking out and it had been some national/regional bug that screwed everybody's evo up - Must not have been big, but something to hit a few of us.
It's working just fine this morning after I did a ##3282# and turned up startup cleaner.
I had this same issue the last couple days. Fine today so far. Nyc area btw.

I just called them and they told me that they are having network issues in my area and there is an "open ticket." I'm sitting here thinking something is wrong with my phone until 3 other people on sprint told me they couldnt make calls.
same here nyc also did 1.7 pri update i figure thats was the problem now i am stuck with 1.34 (hours and hours took me to go back ) now i dont know what to do should i go back to 1.7 since is every one?

Not the PRI. I've been with 1.34 forever, never changed it and I had this issue.

I updated to the 1.7 PRI last night after I got the error codes figured out. Haven't had a problem, yet, but it's been off this morning anyhow.
Never had a problem with 1.34 PRI, but last night, after installing 1.7, I did a few speedtests in bed and I constantly got 150/190 up and 550/600 down, and before I was getting either better than those, by 50% or worse than those by 50%.
This is a frequent occurrence (at least in New York City). It's annoying but don't worry about it. Anything you try to correct it will only be a temporary fix until it eventually goes away at random.
I've had Error Code 67 come up once in a while since I got my phone. Sometimes it comes in bursts, maybe 4 or 5 in a row. Super annoying. I called Sprint today and they had me update the profile a couple of times which did nothing as I kept getting the error while on the phone with them. They are sending me out a replacement Evo in the mail which I should get tomorrow. I'll report if it fixes the problem. Tech Support mentioned they do have them in stock if anyone else feels like they might be in the same boat.

I'm in NYC as well and I can't stand this error. If there was a way to supress I would be a lot more happy since if the error pops up while you are typing a number into the dialer it will clear out all the numbers after you press dismiss.
The error code is a result of Sprint working on upgrading the network to increase 3G capacity. I was getting the error messages when my PRI was 1.37, and I have gotten them a few times after updating to 1.77. At first I used to try updating my profile, but I would get the error message again. What worked for me was turning off my 4G (I'm in NYC, and there is a few test towers up), then turning on airplane mode for a minute or so, then turning it off again. For me, the 3G would kick in, and I won't have the error.
I am getting the error on 3G with 4g off or 4g since I got the phone. Sprint rep said it's not normal so Lets see what my replacement does.
looks like it hard us in NYC hard.
anyone else have horrendous battery life today after fixing this? I barely used it, I only got about 8 hours. I fully charged it when i got home, and literally watched it go down from 100% to 80% in 15 minutes..

EVO and/or Sprint issue today.

On 2 occassion today my phone has had the incorrect time. When it had the wrong time, I could still text and make phone calls. It was 9AM but was displaying noon.
I unchecked the option to obtain the date/time from the network. I then checked it again and it corrected the clock in the top panel (place where the signal and mail icons display.) But the clock on the beautiful weather widget was still off.
Then it happened again randomly. It was 1:50 and it was showing 7:50.
I rebooted the phone and it seems correct now.
Never had this happen before. Now, I don't know if this is coincidence or not but the phone did a software update 2 nights ago.
Any thoughts?

Then a bit later today, it did the same thing.
same here
dude, I've been having those problems ALL EFFING DAY today. I have myself half convinced it's because I flashed the new rooted OTA update, along with the radio kernels posted on here. What setup are you running? Are you stock? Have you installed the new OTA update? If someone on here can figure this out you're my hero.
As a side note, when my phone time was off, it said in my settings that it was pulling time info from the "w. africa" time zone... I'm in Michigan. If I refreshed the option to "load time from network", it would correct for a second then go back to africa... wtf

Everything on my EVO is stock, nothing rooted. And I did the OTA update 2 days ago via WIFI.
well I'm somewhat glad to hear it's not because of the root, but it's still disappointing. I've tracked it down to the new radio kernels though... and I believe the reason is the cell network boosters some buildings use. My company I work at has them, and now that's the only place I have this problem. Didn't have it with the old kernels, but I do with the new ones. It's fine everywhere but at work where the boosters are
I don't remember when hut recently my evo also had he wrong time, I don't remember and of the details but I was recently and it seemed like I notes it twice in one day....
Im on stocked rooted 3.29

[Q] Wifi Issue

I looked around and could not find a thread about this.
I have a rooted fascinate with dl30 (froyo). Everything else is running fine.
But with Wifi on, my connection to the internet is fine until I stop using it. I have the wifi setting to never turn off.
But after about 5mins or so of leaving the phone alone my connection to the net seems to be lost. I will get no incoming emails, my connection to gtalk is halted. If I unlock the phone i can not pull up any webpages, gtalk is still disconnected and if i try to send an email it just sits there.
All of this remains that way until I turn wifi off and go to 3G. Then everything works again. If I turn wifi back on right after, everything works fine again and will continue to until I leave the phone alone for 5mins or so.
any thoughts?
If you have a thought but need more info from me feel free to ask.
Am I really the only one with this issue on this forum?
i just started getting this issue today.... i hope there is something that can be done.
I noticed it happening to me also. Very random though, only happens about once a day or less.
Same here.

Did it happen on 2.1? I am partly concerned because I ebayed the phone with 2.1 about 2 weeks ago. rooted, then installed froyo, so I didn't really get to see if it happened on 2.1, or if this is part of froyo. Was also concerned because a friend of mine, Nuance, also did the same thing, and came over to my house and had no wifi issues.

3g disconnects randomly GB .588

I am running .588 and I restored my data after coming from the original gb (.573) leak. I loose my 3g connection at least once a day. Sometime when I toggle the airplane mode it works and I connect back to 3g, but i that does not work I just reboot the phone. Anyone else having this issue? We need feedback to see if its a hardware or software issue in gb. The reason I cannot confirm if it is s/w or h/w issue I received a replacement phone when the .588 came out. I cannot compare both builds with same device. I am going to revert to .573 to see if it continues. I will post back with outcome.
Thanks in advance

I have had this issue also. The toggling of airplane mode usually works for me too. Although yesterday it didn't and I had to reboot the phone.

The airplane mode does not work for me. Someone recommended to use an app called signal refresh. My main concern is if its a s/w of h/w.

I have this problem, as well. I used the Monster SBF to get to .340, installed GB, and restored only user apps with Titatium Backup. Airplane mode works for me sometimes. Every now and then my phone will go into airplane mode and lock up, forcing me to do a battery pull...
I was on the old gb leak and restored data in clockwork after moving to the new gb. I haven't had the problem yet today. (Knock on wood)

I'm seeing the 3G drop as well. Of course i only notice it since i'm tethering my wifi xoom to the droid (method irrelevant). Airplane mode works for me.
Mine drops out and stays out all the damn time. Sometimes airplane toggling is enough, sometimes I have to re-boot the phone and then toggle airplane mode and other times just turning WiFi off works well enough. It happens on my Wife's D2 constantly as well. We've missed plenty of calls (google voice pops up letting me know I have messages from missed calls even though the phone didn't ring and we have big problems texting throughout the day).
We're both going back to Liberty right now cuz this is BS. Hopefully this will get fleshed out for the final OTA and I can see why Verizon hasn't approved either leak yet. And even more hopefully it's not the new radio, and if it is hopefully SBF-ing back to 340 will fix it. If it doesn't, do any of the older SBF's work with the 340/588 bootloaders and also contain older radio firmware?

Update:
re-flashed GB. went two days with no signal problems, but this morning I lost my 3g connection. I have a feeling that it has to do with the hand-off between the wifi and 3g connection. I have tried to duplicate the issue but I cannot duplicate it. Also one thing I notice is when my 3g is not working and only shows the 4 grey bars I cannot make outgoing calls but calls do come in. Weird....

I have been running into the same issue on both of the leaked versions.

Yep, it's all over. Despite what some may claim, the leaked GB(claimed OTA) is not without bugs.

[Q] N4 loses ability to receive calls or SMS, data continues to work fine

Hey guys,
Just want to see if anyone else has noticed an issue that has happened to me a couple times. My n4 "loses" its network connection for both received calls and sms.
Status bars indicate a good signal (no hollow triangle) and data works fine during these events. I first noticed when my neighbor came by telling me he sent me a couple messages which I never received although I had been playing with the phone all day.
After rebooting I received many sms and voicemail message indications.
The scary part is there is no way to know when it's happening. There is no indication of lost signal and data service continues to works fine - all calls just go straight to VM and no SMS or VM notifications are delivered.
Any ideas? should I return/exchange it? Thanks for any help.
here's me:
network is Tmo (happened in 2 different cities)
network status bars indicate good signal
data service continues to work ok (3g/4g)
stock, not rooted, phone is only 3 weeks old
still on 4.2.1
I've had this happen to me once don't know why though.

At first I suspected the light flow app because this happened right after installing the app. I thought maybe the app was messing with the notifications so I uninstalled it - but then problem happened again. Also, many people are using the app with no issues so i suspect my phones radio is at fault.
I think I'll RMA it. Thanks!
Crap, i just left Sprint after 11 years of service with them for the exact same reason. Started mid December and by mid Jan and several Network Trouble tickets they had no clue how to fix it and blamed it on network congestion. End of Jan i officially ported to TMO.. Hope this doesnt happen to me again..
I started a thread with similar problems, but I also loose data connection. I get a message on the notification bar about it.
In my case it only happens if I turn wifi on and leave HSPA running, so I have to switch to 2g only for the problem to disappear.
Called Tmobile and they have no clue what is causing the problem.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've used tmo for years and never had this problem before - only with the nexus 4 the last couple weeks. If this type of issue was more wide spread I think there would be more people complaining about missed calls/txt.
It sure makes me paranoid though. I am now calling my phone a couple times per day (from my work phone) and sending myself SMS messages just to be sure my phone is working.
I just updated to 4.2.2 so maybe that will help. If it happens again I'll exchange it.

What type of notification do you get? In my case there is no notificaion, the only way to tell if its happening is to place a test call or sms from another phone.
I do notice it occurs after heavy HSPA use but I havent been able to duplicate the problem. It's almost as if after heavy use of an HSPA channel the MSC location update is purged - so all calls go straight to voice mail and sms messages are queded in the SMSC (just a guess). Then after flight mode toggle or reboot location update occurs and all is good.
It happened again yesterday so I've gone ahead an ordered a replacement.
I get a triangle notice in the notification bar. And I narrow my problem with my location.
Did you ordered a new phone?

Which baseband are you on?
I was on the latest 4.2.2 update with the old .33 baseband and I couldn't make or receive calls. To be more specific, my phone was mute as the call was going through. I could not hear the ringing tone. So I flashed the new .48 baseband and it worked.
Well, what I experience sometimes is:
When I leave a WiFi connection, the phone (sometimes) wouldn't reconnect to mobile data (I can only receive calls atm). In order to reconnect it, I have to toggle airplane mode.
Kinda the opposite, but maybe the same solution can be proposed?
My temp solution is to switch to 2g only and turn on wifi. That seems to do the trick
As for baseband I'm rooted with stock rom 4.2.2 and CMW recovery

Ok I got off the phone with customers support and they're aware of the problems.
They're replacing the phone. So I guess I got to return the phone to stock

This is really annoying cause you don't know when people sends you message
