Google network problem?

Using darchlegend v5 trying to figure out if it is something with my rom or a network problem, I can't sign in getting a "There was a network errror while trying to signin." Anyone else having problems?

Have you read the threads in here??

I haven't seen anything that is why i made a post. I always see the typical sign issue that people were having before, but all we had to do was input the password and it would login. This started about a hour ago on my phone and it won't let me login at all.

I had the google sign-in issue, but I was able to get it working. dont know which step fixed it, but this is what i did on DC 2.0 r02
!) Surfed the web
2) Updated profile/PRL
3) Restarted
4) Applied battery fix
Dont know if it helps you, but you can give it a shot....
Battery fix: need to go and set your phone to not use the gsm band. On the dialer, type in *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information and change the set preferred network type to CDMA auto(PRL) - you must do this regardless if it shows it already.

Having the same problem, and using te exact same build...

Same problem but i'm on gumbo 1.5c, worked last night, this morning not working. Same problem on my GF's moment
EDIT: The rest of my data services work fine

I saw this as well this morning. I am running DC 1.0.
From time to time in the past I would have to log back into google, not a big deal, but starting at about 6:45am PST it would fail.
Rebooted my phone, set the network to CDMA (AUTO) and was able to log back in.
Something is going on with the networks.

I don't know if it's relevant but I had this problem when I accidentally flashed an Eris based ROM that updated my PRI. My Network was showing as unknown instead of Sprint. Once I restored my PRI and my network showed Sprint, I was able to log into Google again.

Still showing Sprint as network, no PRI issue here. just the google sign in issue....cant download from market and cant re login after I cleeared google services data

I had one of the PRI's that were causing problems, so Im fixing it right now.

Iam logged back in now, guess it must of been a network issue.

mine still won't login and sprint is useless as usual

Invalid Sim Sprint CDMA Hero??

Has anyone else had there hero say invalid sim card when rebooting?
Mine goes away and then "sprint"replaces it.
Im curious because whenever i try and and do internet sharing i get Error Code 67 Registration failure pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect.
I have no idea if these two problems are related very confusing...
I called sprint and got my MSL code and did a user name reset then profile and prl update.(not sure if its the same as MSL reset)
Also could it be my PRI?
Not sure if this helps but i have:
Fw, 2.1-update 2
build, Fresh rom 2.0d
baseband, 2.42.00.03.10
Sw, 2.20.651.1
PRI, flipz_01
PRL, 60664

i noticed this today for the first time.... my phone all of a sudden had a ton of force closes then rebooted and during the reboot process i saw the invalid sim card display... weird
and im on dc 2.0.7.2 with the treve jit mod

invalid sim is normal, internet sharing doesnt work on the 1.70 pri.

Ok fill me in im obviously a noob.
Is invalid sim normal because of the rom i have?
How dose a person find out which pri they have (1.70, 1.68, 2.10)?
why doesnt usb teathering work on certian pri's do i need to fix my pri?

Invalid SIM is normal on Fresh, I think it's because of his AutoPRI script on boot up, but I can't recall why specifically it does it.
If you are running Flipz_PRI then you really can't tell what you should be at.
If internet sharing doens't work for you, then you are likely on 1.70_003.
As far as I know there is no way of spoofing a PRI to get MNS to work. However you could call sprint and ask reallllly nicely to give you MNS, maybe the support rep will be in a good mood.

@ abcdfv and kcarpenter thanks for the quick replys.
in respose to getting MNS working by sprint. I was unaware this was something that could be added. I thought if you have the "everything" plan unlimited data is included.
Im guessing this costs extra? if so ill stick with the wireless teatehr for root users unless someone can suggest a better solution

flashing an Eris ROM will break your pri. Fresh will automagically fix it again though.
edit: breaking your pri will enable wired tethering.

Easytether or PDANet in the market. I have used PDANet my self, but it honestly kind of sucks. Not the speeds or anything, but because you can't let a big download go for a while because it will randomly drop the connection. Which I think is just a design flaw, not necessarily a problem for general browsing.
I am not even sure if easy tether works on our phone.
There are a few apps in the market that want you to setup an OpenVPN connection on your laptop and use it to connect to the phone and use its data connection, but that seems overly cumbersome for what you are trying to accomplish.

i think this is an issue on most 2.1 roms. this is why we need the final released. doesn't hurt anything, it's more of an eye sore for a minute until the sprint text loads.

I was gunna say. I think its on most 2.1 roms. Maybe because we still have bits and pieces from the GSM hero like we did on 1.5. I would say its gunna be fixed in the official like fixxxer said.

ok good because i was considering flashing back to a 1.5 fw, reseting my MSL updating my profile and prl, then flashing back to a 2.1fw.
Sense this stuff is normal i'll quit complaining and wait for the official rom to be release and moded by this great fourm.
thanks guys

4G stuck at obtaining IP address

Alright I tried searching for this but keep finding only WIFI issues. First of all my wife has the Epic as well, she connects to 4G just fine, as for me I did as well but after I flashed midNIGHTS 2.4 rom I cannot get my 4G to connect, instead it hangs at obtaining ip address then disconnects and tries again. If anyone has any solutions that would be great.

Have you tried using a static ip?

Well not sure how to go about doing that. My WIFI connects just fine its the 4G thats not connecting.

My 4G is also not connecting... i know for sure 4g is available in my are because my friends evo can connect to 4g. i downgraded from dk28 to DI18, still no lick on 4g working. any ideas?

If you're having the same problem I had then your 4G radio is shot. It is known but very limited problem on the epic and their is no fix for it. Go to the sprint store and they'll replace it.

Damn well I hope thats not true, that means I'll have to Odin back to stock 2.1 which honestly I hate doing. It's always a hold your breathe thing to make sure it flashes correctly for me. Anyways this really sucks though, but the fact that its trying to obtain an ip makes you believe that its shot?

Try to turn 4G from the settings menu and tell me if it says unknown.

No I click Turn On, it goes to connecting then hangs at obtaining IP address...30 seconds or so Disconnected. And then flashes scanning for a split second and show Disconnected

Okay your 4g radio is working, but its weird that it won't connect. Flash it back to stock and see what happens. If it still doesn't work, your local sprint awaits.

Thats what I don't want to have to do But if that fixes it then I must.
I just hate the process of going back to stock then root then ext4 then rom then test it out again. BOOO this is gonna be a long night/day

Alright before I start the long process, would reflashing the modem for dk28 help at all?

Oh I read it as a wifi issue..sorry..yeah I had the same thing where wimax wouldn't connect..had to flash back to DI18 to get it working :/

Well I Odin'd back to stock DI18 and still same issue bit since I'm back to stock 2.1 I guess ill head to sprint store.

4g stuck
I know this is an old thread but i have this issue from time to time. I go to school where I have no connection at all, voice or data, and when i get back home where i have solid 4g coverage it wont connect and just hangs on "obtaining IP address". I know nothing is defective because it has done this in the past and it eventually starts working the next day. Anyone find out anything new?

Epic stuck Roaming?

Hello,
My Epic is stuck roaming even after powering off and powering on and removing the battery, this is not a problem where im not getting signal because its the same everywhere i go, Wifi works fine and its the only way i can use my phone i just can't connect to the sprint network. Anyone have any suggestions on whats wrong with my phone?

Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > System Select
Try changing it to Sprint only and see if it works

Nope, then i dont get any signal @ all... Do u think a hard reset is in order?
Also how do u get rid of that sprint i.d. home screen... i Just want the stock android launcher

Are you on EC05? Give us a little more info on what and when this starting happening. Did you update from DI18 to EC05 and this started?

Im on EC05 but this started before i updated to EC05 by wifi... This started about a week ago when my sprint service was shut off on this phone (main line on family plan) cuz i forgot 2 pay the bill.. I've sense paid the bill but i cant connect to the sprint network, only roaming and wifi.
I Called sprint and spoke with tech support and spend a hour on the phone with a guy who had me do ALL the same things i already did before i called (try n update profile,prl,airplane mode,etc.) Even thou i told the guy i did all this he said " lets just try it 1 more time " Got frustrated and ended the call after he was having me do the same things over and over.

Since that is the case, i would take it to a Sprint repair store and have them look at it. You could always try ODIN back to DI18 and update to EC05 again and then updating your profile, but you shouldn't be always roaming if you are in a green area with sprint service.
You should also try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012384
Reflashing the modem, may help.

Just ignore unhelpful people like that.
As inconvenient as it might be, if I were you I'd try driving to where you know for sure you'd be on a different tower. I did that a couple times when I had signal issues and it cleared them up...even when I went back home to my local tower. I didn't do anything to the phone itself.
It was weird, but it worked.

Interesting. Hope you get it sorted.

sprint store
I am also having the same problem. I spoke to several techs that wanted me to do a restore of my phone, but i refuse because I have 2 epic's and they're both having the same roaming problem. I will be taking both of mine to the sprint repair store today or tomorrow. I will let you know if they find anything.​

Root your phone and buy roam control from the market. That should change you back to sprint

What PRL does your phone info say?
I would try reloading the prl either by the update that fails all the time or with qpst.

Try to backup your stuff first then do ##786# to reset your phone
if that didn't work then try to use odin and install the firmare again but this time try to make sure you select ( Phone EFS Clear) which will restore your phone completely to stock then when it runs it should update profile by it self and will program your phone.

Have you used roam control?

you can also try to use this app for roam control
hope this help

Shift only uses 1x data, claims 3G

I generally use my shift at home or work on wifi. This week I'm on vacation and have been using Sprint's network primarily. I was using a CM7 nightly for a while and noticed that I've never seen the 3g icon, only 1x. I confirmed this by installing an app from the market called 'Opensignal' which shows details about your connection, which tower you're connected to, etc.
I flashed to a sense based ROM (Mik) and have the same issue- 1x only. However, it now always displays the 3g logo when data is 1x, even if roaming.
It seems that something in my phone is keeping me stuck without 3g that persists through reinstalls/wipes. I'm hoping there is some type of hidden setting or config option I can look at outside of the standard settings in the system.
Any ideas other than flashing back to stock/unrooted?

You will find that the stock sense rom will show 3G always as well. You can open up the dialer and dial ##33284# Choose EVDO engineering, and look at the state.

And if not in a sense rom *#*#info#*#* will let you view you connection details.
Toasted by Nightly.

Unfortunately I would ruu back to stock, update profile and prl in update section then see if that helps. Run speed tests and keep a record of results to help in the process of elimination. Could it just be the tower you're near or some Podunk town out in the sticks that doesn't have good equipment? Go to a sprint store with working displays. Do speed tests with the display then your phone. Maybe you got a lemon?
You could be roaming or on an old system. Turn roaming off and set network to sprint only and see if that makes any difference. I know years ago I went to my home town in the Midwest and throughput and signal was poor until I went into a major city (like the capital) then speed and signal was good again.

Thanks, I didn't realize HTC always made the 3g logo show- that's really stupid. *#*#info#*#* shows me good stuff and re-confirms me getting 1x only.
Will any of the settings listed attempt 3G data only? I set it to EVDO but it seemed to stay at 1x.

##3282# & ##33284# are your best bet to edit anything if you're not planning on running an RUU, really you shouldn't have to, just turn EvDo only on and see if it even connects. Maybe the 1X towers are stronger than EvDo, if you have it at all.
Reset data profile entirely through ##3282# - you need your MSL - MSL Reader is on the market.
Try that and document your speed results, etc. Then update your prl. If you really want to, then go ahead and apply the 3G speed fix mentioned in Android Development (not necessary but if you're concerned with speed you might wanna try every step.)
If all that fails, you do still have the RUU and start fresh approach. Personally before I'd do anything I'd get ahold of another android device, maybe not HTC, and see what it's doing for speed, etc.

Great info. Using the info code I've set it to EVDO only but it still says its at 1xRTT, even after a reboot(!). My wife has a Sprint LG optimus S- I've looked at its settings and its connected @ 3G so I know whatever tower in my area should connect.
I got my MSL from that app and can get to edit mode via ##3282# but I do not see an option to reset, only to change to other profiles that appear to have the same config. It was choosing profile 1, I changed it to 0 with the same results.
How do I reset data profile?
Edit: ##33284# lists evdo as 0 (disabled) but does update info as to its signal strength and so on. This is all still with the phone set to EVDO only but yet connecting at 1xRTT.

I seem to have it working now. The change I made was ##3282#, EVDO, preferred mode = auto. This was previously set to CDMA. After a reboot I now have 3g.
I'm curious what this is set to for others? I've never been in these screens before and have this feeling that I've never had 3g data (I've had my phone since launch day).
Ive reflashed CM7 and 3g works there too now, i'm seeing the 3g icon for the first time.
Also its quite sneaky that HTC/Sprint only show the 3g icon on a Sense ROM. Had i never installed a non-sense based ROM i'd have never really known that i was stuck on 1x. Shame on HTC/Sprint.

I would like to say this thread has helped me achieve EVDO (ive been 1x also since release). Sadly this doesn't work on AOSP roms for me, but i'm happy just getting what i'm paying for... and have been but haven't received. Its noticeably faster.
BUT.. for noobs not used to the ##3282# menu, after making a change, press the menu button and commit the change. I had gone through these steps changing the drop down and immediately restarting. Apparently you have to manually save these settings.. or at least on my phone.

where are you guys entering these numbers and "EVDO"? because mine is also showing 1x and i wanna fix that

you get free thanks i guess... mouse slip up
anyway, its in your dialer, just use the keys as if the 'code' is a phone number

LOL double thanks

By the way i found out if you enable EVDO(DDTM) you might not receive some calls, just putting preferred mode on automatic will do the trick

1 Reboot your HTC EVO Shift 4G.
2 Press your phone icon on the screen.
3 Enter ##3282#.
4 You have to give it roughly 10 seconds for the EPST screen to appear.
5 If the 1st 3 steps don't work, you may have to restore to the Stock ROM.

Seem to have worked for me as well except on the next day...I got an (I believe unrelated) random wake-up reboot, it just decided to keep connecting in1x mode. Now I'm back to mik and I'm constantly in evdo rev a mode
I really like cm and I've had it fully setup to my liking...then when I discovered about opensignal and the whole 1x thing...I feel like I'm missing out on something. I think its more ocd than anything else since cm7 is fully functional anyway...but still. I do hope they figure out what the prob is. I can't wait to go back to cm
