Looking for some advise and guidance.
Flashed ROM Virtuous Fusion MT4G v1.0.2
Everything was working fine. With some of the great responses I've seen from the leaked radio 26.09.04.26, decided to test and take it for a spin.
No problems during the radio update. I'm now struggling to get any sort of data. It shows full bars of 3G and H (H majority of the time). However, just about anything that requires syncing or a data connection is failing.
Rolled back to radio 26.03.02.26 and have the same issue as the .26 radio. Also tried radio 26.08.04.30 with the same results. Tried fixing permission and still nothing. Wondering if I'm missing something or if I'm f-ed?
Have you tried another fresh flash or factory reset? Other than that don't know what else to tell you. I haven't messed with the radio due to reading some have encountered your same issue.
Hardware Version 0003
Im having a issue with my Evo a few days ago I switched from mikfroyo to mikginger and since then i have only been able to get onto a CDMA-1xrtt network or 4G. could this just be a build issue on mikginger or is it possible that it is a issue with my actual hardware? I checked my gf's evo which is still on mikfroyo and shes able to get 3G and is never on 1x.
After searching I havent found anything to support the idea that its mikginger but has anyone else had this issue before I do a complete wipe and take the phone back to the new OTA
(Nandroid first) Flash a rooted 2.2 ROM, whether it be stock, Azrael, or such.
Go into EPST (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode), enter your MSL code, Data Profile, hit the menu button and choose restore. Just sit there, your phone will reboot and everything will go back to default. This should fix your 3G issue.
Have you updated your radios or something recently? I have, and seem to be staying on 3G more often.
I don't know about restoring from your nandroid, you can try it, but I always start fresh.
Download MSL reader from the market and write down your MSL code
Dial ##3282#
Choose edit mode
type in your MSL
Select Data Profile
Hit Menu on your phone
Hit restore
hit okay.
It will reboot phone and reactivate. You should have 3G after that. I had to do that as well recently. the stock EVO only shows 3G even when I am in 1X so I was always in 1X just didn't realize it.
What these guys said It doesn't need to be a stock rom, just a sense rom.
As you've found out, the notification icon is more of a guideline and spoof by HTC/Sprint to show 3G most of the time within the script. The aforementioned tips could very well do the trick for you or it could be hardware related. I've done those steps and countless hours of doing everything under the sun to going as far as unrooting to see if it would come back..no dice. I was traveling and had the issue in several states, so it wasn't a local network issue as well.
One thing you can do is go into a rom with 2.0 or later sense. Go to Settings:>About phone:>Network...look under Mobile network type. If it says CDMA - EvDo rev. A, you can stop worrying about your 3G being borked. Going to an area that you KNOW has 3G may help with being comfortable. If it says 1Xrxx then you might have a hardware issue as I did, and had to get mine swapped out. Hopefully it's within the first year or you have the insurance if that is the case.
Hopefully the tips given before fix the issue, which it should aside from hardware issues.
Good Luck
thanks, it did the trick I am using MikGinger and ended up doing a full wipe for the update, did the trick and im back to my normal speeds
Thanks Everyone
I have the same issue after flashing a MikG rom. However, entering ##3282# in my dialer doesn't do anything. It doesn't launch EPST as its supposed to. How do I fix that?
what mik rom are you using, I have no problem with 2.0 and my issue was on 1.4

I'm using the latest, 2.15. I wiped everything before flashing. I tried updating the profile and even called Sprint to have an updated data profile pushed to my phone, but it still only shows 1x and the speeds are terrible.

The strange thing is that I wasn't able to use ##DATA# on my phone before I flashed to MikG either. I got 3G Rev A, but I couldn't get into EPST.
I flashed another ROM today (deck gingerbread 1.2) and I still don't have 3G. Any help?
OK, so I flashed to an AOSP Gingerbread ROM where I was still having the issue with only seeing 1x.
Then I flashed the latest radio, NV and PRI. Still no 3G.
Then I flashed to the latest stock rooted ROM. There I was finally able to get into EPST and change the setting to Automatic. It was on CDMA Only.
I now see State 3 = Connected in the EVDO Engineering menu from the Field Test Menu (##33284#). Hope this helps someone else. No wonder I had been getting ****ty "3G" speeds ever since I got my EVO. I wish the stock ROM would tell you that you're on 1x, not EV-DO, like every other phone does.
Now as my final step, I'm about to restore the backup of the Sense 2.1 ROM I flashed yesterday.
Restoring back to MikG 2.15 was a success, I have actual 3G now.
My apps are all there, but user data is gone and the apps that I downloaded from the Android Market don't show in the My Apps section. I might hard reset and install everything from scratch because I don't know if its as smooth as it could be either.
No 3G
I'm having the same issue on my girl friends phone. When I flash mikg rom on it no 3G, only 1x. When I flash fresh evo, it works just fine. I wonder why this is? My phone has no problems what so ever. I flashed the same roms she did.

How are you flashing? What recovery? Are you wiping everything? Are your radios up to date? Did you update prl and profile after flashing?

Im using AM 2.3 recovery. I did all that. I wiped everything. The funny thing is that I did the same thing on my phone that I did on hers and mines works perfect. We went from Fresh EVO to MikG. I put her back on Fresh evo (flashed the new version) to fix the issue. But she is being a pain in the butt and wants the same ROM cuz she wants to use some of the themes for MikG and what not. Anyways, I'm going home and going to try the fix using ##DATA# and see if it works. I'm just more curious to know why this happens to some phones and not others.
it worked
Well going to fresh evo then restoring my networking using ##DATA# worked. I flashed MikG and she has 3G now. Thanks guys.
I started having this same issue after installing incredible 2 v2.01 and trying all radio with that. Then didn't like the Rom because still buggy, so I went with the original unmodified GB leak and my 3g speeds were gone, kept getting 1x, and no more then two bars. So my solution was to download the RUU in the stock Rom thread. I think the software that installs these roms have yet themselves to work correctly. I don't think they properly format/wipe the phone correctly. After the stock install I'm back to normal with nice speeds and four bars.
Stock 7.28 radio as well.
Add: In the case of a radio hboot doesn't seem to be over-writing the old radio correctly, maybe.
Yes flashing the RUU back to the stock ROM fixes the 3G problems but after doing that you can reflash back to another ROM without a problem. I had the same problem too with a custom ROM the first time but after reflashing the RUU I had no more 3G problems with any of the 3 ROM's I have flashed since.
Agreed - as long as you RUU you should be good to go.
Its odd you would have a data issue with that port though. Its still a Verizon based port and in theory you should be able to #228 with no issues.
There have been times I have tried to #228 and it just wouldnt take until later on (few hours) and when my gf came to see me this week (cross-country trip) she couldnt #228 right away either.
I have noticed that since I have updated CWR the actual functions in CWR take longer to process. Dont know why.
Every unit is different and will yield original results. Dont let this sway you away from flashing away.
I wish there was an actual stable custom, would be nice, and great work done, hats off to everyone, I can only imagine how time consuming it is, but I continue to go back to stock. I however will be looking out for the most stable GB with 2.1.

I have an ATT Atrix with 4.5.91. A couple of days ago, the Atrix started crashing 10+ times per day. It always happens if I try to turn on wifi, but happens other times too. Sometimes wifi will show error, instead of turning on. Bluetooth has been spotty as well. Any ideas? I tried reflashing 4.5.91 already.
Did you flash any ROMs? Kernels? Is phone unlocked?
Please, give more info....

Have you recently installed any apps that are using internet connection?
Install one of the firewall apps for android and monitor what's happening when you turn on the wifi.
It is unlocked with the 4.5.91 pudding + preroot sbf. I had the upgrade.zip version on it when I started experiencing the problem. I then flashed it with the 4.5.91 mentioned above to see if that would fix the issue. I have not installed any new apps recently, but some could have updated I suppose.
Just out of curiousity.. what Radio are you using?
I have never flashed the radio specifically. My baseband version is N_01.77.30P.-
I am also having this problem. I currently have stock 2.3.4 on ATT and my baseband version is N_01.77.30P. I've never rooted or unlocked my Atrix, all stock.
When I am able to turn wifi on, it will sometimes connect but only for a few seconds. Then it just reboots multiple times. If I am able to get it running, it says error by the turn on wifi option under settings. Mobile hotspot doesn't work either. If I keep wifi off, it doesn't crash.
I've tried restoring to factory settings, both through the factory data reset while the phone is on and through android recovery, but neither help. Any other ideas?
thanks
Backup your current rom. Flash stock 2.3.4 via fastboot. Wipe via fastboot. Reboot. --> problem solved

I tried that. The issue persists. I am thinking it might be hardware based.
Absolutely the same Wifi problem for me.
I'm on stock 2.2, rooted and deodexed.
Never has any wifi issues previously. And it's started for no reason.
Last program i installed was Tunein Radio and it worked fine about a day with Wifi. Not sure it's related.
Tried to restore my old cwr backup, but it's not helped.
A friend of mine had this problem with his atrix. His was stock ATT firmware never modded or unlocked. I factory reset it and problems persisted. His wouldn't connect to wifi at all. I believe it was hardware related, so if you didn't void your warranty, return it. If you did, you can ask Motorola to fix it... see what happens.
Side note: I kept the malfunctioning phone away from my functioning phone as I did not want it to get any ideas.

This happening to me now. Still no solution for this? My atrix:
System version: 4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: N_01.77.30P
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: 4.5.91
If I set the IPaddress, it wont connect. If I left the IPaddress blank, it automatically set to 192.168.1.253
Help please, thanks.
(FIX): go to wireless settings go into advanced settings. Click on sleep settings chose NEVER! Problem solved! Try it works

If I were you, I would contact at&t and see if you're still under warranty (by default motorola gives you a 1 year warranty). I have had the same shutting down issue with 3 atrixes. my 4th one is actually in the mail and should be here today (wooo... kinda). I also believe that the atrix has a very bad issue with hardware. Ive tried tons of rom, stock and others such as cyanogen, and this issue persist no matter what software you run.
I've had issues with WIFI/Radio causing regular crashing, especially when trying to switch to Airplane mode. I'm running CM7 (stable) and 77.36 radio. I've been able to resolve the problem by booting into CWM and reflashing both CM7 and the radio. Sometimes I have to reflash the radio a couple of times. Eventually it seems to take and then the Atrix is quite stable.
For me, the instability problem occurs whenever I reset the battery stats. After I perform the steps above, it seems to resolve it.
Anyway, if you're running stock, I'd recommend downloading a copy of the radio you're using and try reflashing it a couple of times via CWM before you give up on the phone.
I had the same problem. Returned mine under warranty. They told me that just the day before me they had someone come in with the same problem..
Well... started having this issue recently myself, not too sure exactly what had caused it. I had been flashing a few of NFHimself's Gobstopper's, after my phone took a nose dive (one of the screen shattering, battery flying and denting variety) and I started getting reboots. I hadn't had a chance to play with it prior to the nose dive, but I do know that I had reset the battery stats (something I DON'T normally do when flashing) so I'm hoping I can replicate the fix of radio flashing.
Right now I'm going to keep re-flashing ROM's and Radio's, so far just trying the Gobstoppers 2.2.2 and upwards as well as samcripp's Fruitcakes and this radio, I'll be sure to update if this works. Pretty sure I've voided my warranty a few times over already (unlocking, plus the shattered screen kinda shows signs of abuse) so returning isn't exactly my first idea.
I'm guessing that it would seem to be related to this battery stats issue, as my GPS seems to be working and I'm fairly certain that it is the same chip that controls GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth. So unless it's some very specific hardware based issue, this is my best guess.
If anyone is aware of any other potential solutions to this issue, or knows of any other Bell Mobility (Canada) radios/ROM's, I'll be more than happy to try your suggestions!
I had a similar issue. My phone would crash multiple times a day. It started after att released an update. I read somewhere that it could be an app causing it so I went into taskmanager and had all apps end after use with the exclusion of pandora and navigation. Problem solved. Not sure what app was causing it but I never had a single crash/random reboot after. Phone was unhacked and the only update on it was the last official one released by att (sorry can't remember the number. I've since upgraded to a Cm7 rom).

Hey guys,
before you guys roast me Ive asked the guys on the MIUI forums this question before but have been unable to get a sufficient answer other than "flash the newest radios" which I've done before.
My problem is when I'm at home(and only at home) I get an inconsistent signal. My phone will have an OK signal one moment, and then a minute later have no signal at all. This only happens in the apartment complex which I live in. Everywhere else my phone functions as it did before.
The problem apparently happens when I flash a new version of MIUI outside of my home. It happened this summer and never resolved for months, even after I switched to a sense ROM and flashed new radios. After a while the problem went away by itself and I switched back to MIUI no problems, and have been back on MIUI for a couple of months now.
Last week I flashed a new version of the ROM outside of home again and the signal problems returned. When my signal first went bad I contacted Sprint and they told me of a "single cell outage" however the other people with Sprint phones in my building get service. So I'm inclined to believe I've done something to my phone that causes this signal drop.
Can anyone please help me???
Well you did all the trouble shooting yourself if everything fails the only problem is possible is the phone itself. If you have insurance just take down to Sprint store have them check it out. Also try turning on roaming see if that helps. Best of luck.

Instead of upgrading your radios, have you tried downgrading?
It could be a coincidence that your problems happen when flashing away from home. It could also be that some file is made on first boot of the rom that somehow affects your connectivity. It doesn't seem likely, but I don't really know what else it could be. Try Reflashing the rom over itself without wiping data... of course do this while at home. If you're not wiping system in between flashes then try doing a full wipe - boot, system, data, cache, dalvik, SD-ext, .android_secure - and flashing MIUI while at home. I know that the problem persisted after flashing a Sense rom and updating radios, but it's worth a shot. If that doesn't work, try downgrading your radio and/or PRI/NV.

Thanks for the input guys. I don't have time to do a full wipe right now since I have finals in a few days, but as soon as they are done I'll do a full wipe and maybe convert back to a SENSE rom and update the radios etc. Then I'll flash MIUI again.

You only need a sense rom to update the prl; you can update the radio, PRI, and NV through a flashable zip in recovery.
So I never wiped my phone/updated my PRI etc. but miraculously I have regained signal at home. I received my bill from Sprint and a few hours later I regained service. Cheers to Sprint, the shadiest phone company not named Boost Mobile!
