Edit: the problem is with my 4g, not pdanet. On my phone itself with 4g on I can't load any webpages or get any other data connection. Worked last Friday, and haven't made any changes to the phone. Running burnt 1.3 with net 421 smartass nohavs.
Try reinstalling the pdaNet on both the phone and computer.
If still nothing, try turning your phone off then back on.
Sometimes people never turn their phones off.
Hope this helps.
i am one of those people who never turn off their phones >.>
anyway I had to reinstall it on the pc today anyway. It decided to not work anymore v.v havent reinstalled on my phone yet though.
Bump for edit

I have the same problem. I don't use pdanet. I can connect to the 4G network but I cant load a webpage or download anything. Basically no data transfer. I took it to a Sprint store and they are just going to replace the phone.
Transfer that's the word i was looking for
I'm going to reflash the wimax radio when I get home and my phone isn't dying, i'd hate to have to replace the phone.

Bah, reflashing the radio didn't help. Anyone got any ideas?

I am having the same problem with mine. It was working up until a few weeks ago, but now I can connect but it is painfully slow to load web pages. The page loads like 3/4's of the way, and then hangs for the rest of the page. The last 1/4 of loading takes a few minutes. That isn't even on a graphic-heavy page.
I am able to tether on my laptop though.

I've had this problem before too and the only way I found to fix it was to un-root and flash the stock rom. Then check if it works.
If it does work, root and flash a rom, I used sprint lovers rom and I didn't have any 4G issues with loading pages.....
Same here....recent issue....not sure what's up. Could be the network and not the phone maybe....what area are you trying to connect to 4g?

Buddy I work with has an evo too and connected just fine standing next to me.
I can't imagine it fried the radio itself since it connects fine.

well that blows....
i dont' have another evo to test it with....so I was HOPING it was a network thing....but I'm thinking it's not.
I checked my RSA keys.....they're still good.....
I have a NANDROID backup from a while ago when my 4g was still working...I'll flash it the next time I get to a 4g area and see if that fixes the problem.
I haven't touched my phone in terms of mods in over 2 months...so I'm wondering what the hell happened. I hate when **** like this just comes out of nowhere.
Please let me know via this thead if you have any new news.
new WiMax update is out in the dev forums. I'm going to flash now and see if it fixes my problems when i'm at work later (sidenote: my town has 4G, i just cant get it to connect at my house damn....trees)
Well I'm at a different place than normal but after flashing the new radio 4g is working.

I found out that my issue here was the app adfree.... if I stopped using that app, webpages on 4g load fine.
.....did nothing and 4g is working now....
aside from poking around in the adb shell to see if my RSA keys and MAC were still in tact (which they are)...my 4g started working again all by itself.
it was down for a week....and by "down" I mean that I could connect absolutely fine....get an IP....but could not transfer ANY data up or down. I did reboot serveral times while it was not working and that didn't fix the issue either.
Whatever....as long as it's working again...
Hmm i've been using adfree too but it didn't cause any problems. I agree Dell, as long as it's working.

I've been using various versions of wireless tether since my Moment days. I'm currently using pre11 on my Epic right now, but I see it's up to pre15 right now on http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list. It's working completely fine for me now, and I'm honestly surprised on how quick the connection is. What is the difference between these different versions anyways?
Mostly added support for other phones,,,and I think pre13 introduced the lock button when tethered,but I dont even se a need for it.

Need a little more detail than that. The network created is AdHoc, have you been able to connect these machinces to other ad hocs?
Not specifically, and I'm aware of the Ad-Hoc...
but one is a literally fresh formatted Win7 and the other is a ChromeOS laptop.
I would think either should be fine.
No luck.
Curious, chrome os cr48?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, and I even know the freshly-formatted Win7 computer has been on an ad-hoc phone-tether network before.
So I'm not sure why, but the same night I asked this question, I also started getting issues. It seemed to be running perfectly fine, but then when I noticed someone else logging onto my connection (I hadn't encrypted it), I grabbed the both and both gave Access Control to my phone only and then encrypted it. Even since then, even when turning off AC and encrpytion, I can only go an hour or so and then the signal drops. I'm not sure if it's even related to me turning on AC/encryption or what since I don't even remember how long I was running it before someone tried hopping onto my signal. At this point, since 11 has worked, I'm not sure if I should just delete and reinstall it in an effort to erase any of the changes and made and see if that makes it work better, or just go ahead and upgrade to 15.
As for using it, once connected to a 4G connection (1 of 3 lines), I'm actually quite surprised how quickly it works. Sure, I'm not going to be streaming from HULU, but even going to picture intensive threads loaded fairly quickly. Our phones are so badass...I make sure to always remind everyone around me
I couldn't get WirelessTether to work with my CR-48 either. It did work with my wife's Evo however. Frustrating.
My phone is technically hooked to the network atleast it is when im at home and the wifi is hooked i havent really caught it away from home cause I Wouldnt know anyway but i do notice sometimes right after i get home ill get like 5 text one after the other. Also if i go to mobile network options and choose either access point the simple or the T-mobile and then go to networks and search i get error while searching for network every time and it has yet to find t-mobile or att or cent or anything, just error. Is anyone else having this sort of issue?

I switch apns all the time. In quicksettings I use the apn switch but leave it on apn.droid instead of disabled (which actually DOES disable it) if I switch to apn.droid then it actually changes the way I connect to tmo... epc.tmobile.apndroid.com...(instead of epc.tmobile.com) I swear I get faster speeds.

That's odd. I've had JL5 since a few days after release and haven't had a single issue with data until today. I see full bars, data activity doesn't do anything except the green "out" arrow flashes but nothing comes in. I just disabled Data network and re-enabled it and now it's worked fine..
Please use proper language when making a thread. I modified the title of this thread because of it. Thanks.
I have similar happen on JL5, after a day or two (or an unknown set of actions). I will no longer be able to receive calls, but will get the VM alerts and be able to dial out. Data connection will then be hit/miss. I put the phone in airplane mode and take it off airplane mode and it works again.

Yeah,its a known froyo bug,it was even brought up several times in google's forum for the nexus one. it wasn't an issue in 2.1,but 2.2 (pretty much every build I've ever used on the G1,N1,vibrant,HD2,and Intercept) has the issue.
i think my phone's radio is broken.. now it doesnt switch between edge and 3G anymore.. stays on 3G
but download speed is really slow..painfully slow.. i was actually happy to get 3G in my room, but it's actually broken? LOL
i installed the signal app by imperial.. it stays on H - 93 dbm with the 3G symbol on the signal bar and consistent 3/4 bars.. what the hell..
hmmm..
maybe tmo 3g coverage has gotten better? but download speed is slow.. my phone may be broken.. ughhh
Check to see if you have it wcdma only. Settings->wireless networks->mobile network. It should be on wcdma/GSM (auto).

This also happens to me, I'm at JL5. Sometimes when using 3g my speed is lower than 100 kbps. I have to reconnect to make it work.

im using the stock j16.. i already reset my phone, even reverted to stock jfd and flash via kies last night.. same issue
i haven't even dropped my phone at all.. not a bad drop at least..
I have the same problem on JL5. I just flashed Nero V3 this weekend as my first Froyo rom and I see today I cannot get online at work where 3G is iffy. If i switch it manually to GSM, then data works.
I actually flashed a custom rom hoping to fix an issue like this.
Back on stock my network data just stopped while browsing web pages or anything really. It would give the outgoing arrows but nothing would come back. After about 30 minutes or so it would start working again for a while.
Flashed to nero but it's still as prevalent as ever (maybe for a different reason now lol). Not sure if it's the phone or Tmo's network anymore, but it's not too big of an issue for me so I just have to remember to activate wifi if I need constant data for any period.
I have it set to GSM only because I don't live in a 3G area...
Here's teh scoop...
I was in Vegas at CES and all was fine. I was tethering and 4G was blazing. Left on Friday, got back to SoCal and on Monday my Epic running Bonzai4All (RFS) would no longer connect to the 4G network. Found out from Sprint there was a trouble ticket in my area and 4G was down for a couple days. It's back up now but my phone won't connect anymore. Took it to a corp repair store (after having flashed back to stock of course) but they couldn't fix it so they ordered me a "new" one.
I don't think it's a hardware issue because when I click the 4G icon the phone cycles through SCANNING>CONNECTING>OBTAINING IP ADDRESS and then it just disconnects. Feels more like a programming issue (ie, dialer codes... then some numeric setting somewhere in the programming menu)
Has anyone else had this happen to them. I did nothing to my phone between the time I was in Vegas and back in SoCal so other than the outage, the phone no longer connecting to 4G seems quite random.
4G is noG
I have the epic4g, I live in Vegas.
Although this is supposed to be 4G for the entire city, the phone spends 95% of the time "disconnected" from 4G.
I have already had sprint replace the phone, the same thing happens with the new phone.
It seems its a software issue, if I turn on 4G and move, do anything, it will disconnect. Heck, it even disconnected in the parking lot outside the Sprint store. Of course they kept telling me there was nothing wrong with the phone when they test, so I go outside, try to connect to sprint.com, get error of no connection and bring phone back in.
On a recent trip, I attempted to use 4G to rent a movie for my son. In the course of 30 minutes, it must have disconnected once every 1-2 minutes. It does not reconnect on its own, you have to manually disconnect, then reconnect to get it running again. It appears if you are "mobile", it has major issues. If you are sitting in one place (not walking or anything) it will keep its connection.
Kind of retarded if you ask me - I know 100% its a phone issue, something is messed up. Of course, when I complain to Sprint, I am the only one having this issue.
I am actually going to try to get them to credit me the 10 bucks a month back, after all, I never use 4G - not because I dont want to, its just not worth the hassle. I cannot even browse the web - it disconnects so often I get the no connection error screen. 3G has no issues, but is slow.
I have searched many forums, but cannot find any fixes for this issue. It would appear that you are having the same deal as I am now.
No idea. My phones locked on 4g 80% of the time. While driving, walking etc. Only use 3g in buildings made of kryptonite that block signals.

I live right outside of Baltimore, and according to sprints coverage maps I should have 4g where i live. We all know how coverage maps go, but i am getting the "obtaining ip address" then fail. But I just kind of ignored it and thought nothing of it.
After seeing other people with similar problems, do you think i should have it serviced? i am paying for insurance.
Did anybody figure this out?
This happened to me after flashing a new rom, seemed to work after a reboot.
i have the same problem, and a simple reboot did NOT my problem.
I know for a fact that I get reception in my house, and I've tried in a Sprint Store when I was testing the Photon 4G. Still can't connect; more specifically it disconnects after attempting to obtain an IP address.
I have already tried messing the WiMAX Extension settings in ##3282#
I'm running SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2 | Genocide 2.0 Kernal | EC05 Modem.
Note: 4G was working before i tested UrbanDecay, which was a EG22 ROM. I did flash SRF1.2 with the EG22 installed. i have tried updating the modem and I'm back to EC05. still no luck.
Suggestions?
This happened to me. Some type of data corruption. I had to Odin back to a prerooted tar, not restore anything, test 4G, working then only restored apps with no data. When I did restore data I lost 4G again. So do not restore any data. Set everything back up again.

Yeah I tried everything first, even had Sprint refresh my phone. I guess some WiMax files got corrupted. You could try a reflash but if your ROM backs up and restores data it probably will still not work. I was able to restore apps only and selectively restore a few apps with Titanium though.

I've been having this problem for a few days now. All of this has happened over a cell connection.
Occasionally, when surfing the net, searching, or clicking a link, I will get a page not found error. It will happen clicking links from pages, trying to launch google.com, or using the search key on the phone.
During the times the net isn't working, the phone reports full connectivity. Also, some apps like Facebook will still work. Some bookmarks will still work.
I was initially getting this on a stock rooted rom, but switched to CM7 and it still happens.
I've tried to force roaming, it still happens.
I also tried to do a profile update when on the stock rom, but I have NEVER, on any of the 3 Shifts I've owned, been able to get it to work
Is anyone else on sprint getting this? My girlfriend (stock rooted evo) has had the same issue, but not nearly as bad.

glad u said this, cuz i've been having the same issues the past few days. specifcally, i'll use voice search which should pull up google but it gives a page not found error. but then i'll just go to another webpage and it works fine. then i'll go back to google and search for something but get a page not found error, even tho 3g is connected. gotta be something with sprints service currently...
also had some issues with texting too, over the same course of time that this 'page not found' issue has been going on, not sure if it's the service or my rom, but i'd send one person a message and it would show in a thread of a different person i'm texting
Well I just talked to a friend who works in sprint intl tech, he said there is a nationwide text outage. So that may be that problem.
