EVO and/or Sprint issue today. - EVO 4G General

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

Texts coming in but time is 3 hours late

stock ROM.
i'm getting texts just fine but randomly it will decide to time stamp them 3 hours earlier, so if i have a bunch of texts i have to scroll through them all until i find the new one that it thinks was sent 3 hours ago. it is pretty annoying. anyone know how to fix this? soft reset didn't do anything.
it's often the networks fault when sms's are delay'd
i would try putting the sim in another phone for testing
same here
since yesterday ive been getting random texts with the timestamp 3 hrs earlier, and i also have to scroll thru to find it. my computer did something to the phone yesterday and basically deleted anything synced and then resynced. its been doing this ever since.
weird that we would get this same problem at the same time.
this is really annoying
Not to beat the horse but i've been having the same problem since this morning. Everything was fine all day and night yesterday. I've received about 8 texts or so since 8am EST this morning (it's now 2:20pm EST) and about 3 of the texts have had the problem. Pretty annoying. Assuming it's the network like someone previously suggested.
the person said the network was delivering them late. that has happened before too, but these are being delivered on time, but the time stamp is 3 hours before the text was sent. since 3 of us had the same problem starting yesterday or around then, it must have something to do with the network, even though the messages are being delivered on time, it is just the time stamp that is wrong.
weird.
yeah i thought it was something wrong with my particular phone but now since all three of us are having issues i feel "better".
hopefully t-mobile fixes this soon, its really annoying **crosses fingers**
Yeah, and the wierd thing is that it seems like it's only happening with specific contacts too. Looks like it's happening with only two people out of the 7 people that have texted me today.
yeah it's weird, but only 2 people have texted me today, and only one of them messed up, while both contacts messed up yesterday
this has also been happening to me, what phone service do you guys have, i have tmobile
I just thought my phone took a crap. but with the above posts I guess it was the network. mms are always late but this is a first for sms. tmobile needs serious improvement on their network issues
Maybe the Network Wizard will fix the problem? Just thought I'd throw that in there.
well my network settings are set the way tmobile set them, so i don't think it's anything we can fix on our end. it is them.
Im having the same problem since about yesturday, and my carrier is t-mobile,
so I think it has something to do with them.
Not to beat that already dead horse, but just to reiterate, I too have t-mobile and I have been receiving text exactly 3 hours late. It is very annoying and I am calling t-mobile ATM. Thanks for letting me know it isnt just me.
tell us what they say. last night it was nuts for me. i would get a text with the proper time stamp, and then one 3 hours earlier (but you know, it was actually received at the the present) and then one from the same person that would have an accurate time stamp

They told me that it was "only your issue and no one else in your area has complained about it." They offered to send me a new sim card but it seems like it must be a network issue and not a hardware one because we are all experiencing the same thing. Could it only be modded phones? I changed the rom on mine, been meaning to for a while. I cant say if it has happened again cause I havent gotten a message :-X
I live on the Northeats and was previously running Touch-IT 5.0.
you should have told them that there are reports on the internet of people having the same issues.
i'm in the southeast with the newest stock ROM. so it is definitely a network thing, not hardware or modded issues.
i'd call myself but i'm not the account holder and they make you give all these account numbers SSN and crap
well in addition to the time stamp being wrong now my sms are coming in 24 hrs late. I am afraid to ask whats next.
wow. mine are just 3 hour late timestamps. what is going on here?
I have also been getting delayed texts... sometimes like 10 minutes but can be up to like 9 hours late. I live in Seattle, WA

Cannot update PRL or Profile (error 1012)

I'm running MoDaCo's 1.1 and HAVE NOT installed the new MR.
On my college campus, I get HORRIBLE signal; but that is nothing new. I usually switch to roaming and pull from some strange tower in some far away land. Not usually a big deal. Well, today on campus, my signal dropped off completely and didn't switch over to roaming. I figured I'd just update my PRL and maybe that would help. No go. It searches and searches and eventually comes up with error 1012. Trying to update my profile does the same thing...
I pulled the battery out, and my signal came back (two bars, woo -_-) but I still cannot update any of the above.
Is this some awkward anomaly, or is it because I don't have the new MR? Could it be something I haven't thought of?
I've had that issue before but I just tried it again later and it worked. I couldn't find out why it didn't work the previous times but I assume it's probably a connection issue or whatnot... just keep trying from time to time and hopefully it'll work for you eventually like it did for me.
I am on Fresh .6 getting this error all day now. tried again and again all over a 60 mile range. 1012

ya know what? you're right. about 20 minutes ago, it "just worked". color me confounded...

No service all of a sudden

So last night I noticed my phone had no signal, thinking it was a tower issue I waited till morning, nope. I've tried a reboot, reset, installing a different rom, prl update... nothing is working. I didn't change any settings or download anything last night either. What would cause this????
Have you tried going into range of another tower? Your local tower may be down, it happens.
no not yet, how far on average do you think they separate towers?
This will give you an idea of how far apart Sprint cell towers are, at least in my area.

I got the data from an app I had on my old BlackBerry.
I'm sure this is not the problem but I had the same problem a while ago then realized I forgot to pay my bill...lol
i actually had a similar problem. it ws fine last night but then this morning i had no bars and data read "1x" instead of "Ev". it was like this all morning but it just started working like normal about 5 minutes ago. so i guess it was just a tower messed up here or something

Fail. LOL
Well, at least you figured it out.
Got my phone working. Turns out my prl file was bad, I tried to do an OTA update before but it would just give me an error. So I started looking around and found there was a prl update back on 7-13, I downloaded it and did a manuel update. Service came right back. BTW thanks for the suggestions.

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.
Sent from the void...
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..

Something I noticed

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.

Not right now though. Weird

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...
