Here is a weird one. 3G shuts down after so long. I have full bars, but no 3G. Rebooted once and 3G came back for a time, but then disappeared again.
I think this is caused by sprint on their end.

Odd because it didn't occur with EB13. I am looking at my phone, and 3G is turning on and off.... SIGH.
Actually I'm still on DI18 and this happened to me for the first time today--right before the OTA update was delivered, no 3G and no data connectivity. Yet 4G worked, just not 3G! Then I rebooted and the OTA update was delivered. Wonder if they're related somehow...
It happed on my eb13(at the time) epic, my brothers instinct s30, and my mom's lg rumor touch. Its definently on sprints end.

I thought that if the phone can't get a sprint signal it'll roam?
I get absolutely 0 sprint service in the part of florida I'm in, but it doesn't even roam to verizon (which gets all bars here). It just shuts the radio off.
My friend with an lg rumor(I think that's what itscalled...its a sprint lg texting phone) gets no servicebut roams off verizon while over here...
What's wrong with the epics radio -_- I've been using google voie to text over wifi,but I need to make calls too. I keep getting "MISSED CALL FROM 555-5555" messages but my phone doesn't even ring -_-

You can force roam using Roam Control.
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.vuvuzela.roamcontrol
It works perfectly for me.
I can't buy it. Also, I shouldn't have to pay extra to roam for free...the phone should automatically switch instead of cutting the radio off. I can understan using roam control in areas where the phone hangs onto weak sprint signals and contantly switches back and forth, but there is absolutely no service here from sprint
The hero roamed full bars last time I was in a strictly no-sprint zone.
I hope cyanogen mod gets the mms bug fixed soon, ebecause I know thres a "roam" option in the cm menus. Atleast it was on the hero

I would love roam control
I've wanted it since the developer came out with it in the epic forums, but I can't buy it.
Which is why I hope that now that froyo sauce was released, cm will move over to rc1 territory and it'll be a simple toggle in the settings...
Pure aosp with speed and force roam built in.... :drool:

Try updating the PRL? When I roam it cuts off my 3g which is annoying but I still have cell signal.
I updated prl as soon as I updated to eb13
It wasn't bothring me that I wasn't getting roam, but I was on dk28 so I affiliated it with that modem since there were other bugs....but this is official froyo now so I figured a prl and profile update in sprint territory would've fixed it, but it didn't.
Unless its a hardware problem....... D:

dumb question.....did you make sure you phone was set to allow roaming?
Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Network Settings>system Settings>Automatic.
btw, I use roam control because it allows you to force Roam Only so it doesn't keep switching in low signal areas.

I get "unable to parse text" whenever anything is tried with Roam Control.
Tried fresh install, reboots, etc. No change.
Edit to add, i'm rooted of course.
Yeah roaming is set to automatic
Is there a dialer code that might help with signal searching?
I remember when I first got the epic, ther was something about dialing *#*#something and there was a menu where you would tell it to check CDMA only becauseit would search for gsm....would that help?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Roam control requires root...just an fyi.
It works great here on the new 2.2 update. The phone also roams by itself and connects to data via 1x with a normal prl. Or with a fixed prl it connects to 3g
Do you mean you never have a signal, ever? During your day to day life at home and work...? Cuz if so, dude, srsly: get off of Sprint. If you just roam 24/7, they'll drop your account anyway.
You sound like you have really unique, mysterious circumstances keeping you both attached to Sprint and unable to make purchases on the market (which is even more weird).
Call me a skeptic, but I'm having trouble buying into your story. :/ If you want to play this game, you can flash a Verizon PRL (do we know how to do this on Epic...?), but if/when Sprint cancels your account, do us a favor and don't waste XDA's bandwidth on a "WTF SPRINT" thread.

What rom are you running? If its a i9k 2.2.1 build you need the signal reboot fix found in the vibrant development section.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I think the problem exists for KB1 based builds as well. Had the issue with Bionix 1.31, Trigger and Axura. Went back to Nero v5 and problem solved. Also, the wifi sleeps even when the option for never sleep is checked. I wonder if it's hardware specific and only affects some phones.
Sent from my frozen yogurt powered Vibrant
To clarify my previous post: I lost 3g and had to manually reboot to get it back. It didn't reboot on its own like the i9000 builds. I ran 3 different roms from 3 different devs and they all had similar issues. The only common denominator was they were KB1 based. KB1 roms also seem to have RIL issues (very infrequent). At least that was my experience.

I dont have this problem but do all the ROMS now say "H" instead of 3G? The weird things is, I still 3g pop back up there intermitently for a second or two here and there...from what I gather, H is the same thing, but if that's so, then why do I still see 3g pop back up there sometimes?

I had this problem on Trigger 2.7.1/overstock couldn't reestablish data through airplane or toggling data type. In since flashing 2.7.2 havent had it at all. Fingers crossed. No reboots either. Same kb1 modem.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Im going through something similar right now. Running Axura 2.3.1.0 with KB1 modem currently, was on CM7 with KA7 prior and had same issue. I have 0 3G, doing a speed test on 2G i get between 68 and 85kbps download speed, and when on 3G i get between 46 and 60kbps, so actually my 3G is basically dead. Went and got a 3G sim card from t-mobile, called them about 26 times and had them reset my network, filed a trouble ticket and still no dice... not sure whats going on. I was throttled and my cycle restarted on the 21st, its now the 24th and still seems like im throttled but im not, its actually a dead 3G, not sure why... anyone know what i can do to fix this? Is it a bad phone now? T-Mobile doesnt seem to have a clue, nor will they help me out... dunno, tried everything and now im just stuck with no speed... blows!!!

I am using Syndicate Rom Frozen 1.1.0 and have been loving how fast it is. The only issue I have discovered is that the indicator at the top is showing 0 or 1 bar for 3g network. Therefor I have been missing about 75% of calls, and dropping more. I came from factory DI18 Eclair. I had to flash the rom twice to get it to work. Still no 3g service. (fyi...flashed yesterday)
Your phone probably doesn't like the EC05 modem. Flash the EB13 modem.

I am near Portland, OR. I was on EC05 and things were working fine. I flashed back to factory DI18 and then to SRF. Things didn't get slow until SRF. Should I reflash the EC05 modem, or just try EB13? I too am roaming where I normally have full service.

I bought my ns4g about a week and a half ago coming from a tbolt on Verizon. I got it at 8pm and had it rooted by 9. I immediately installed cm7 and have been using every nightly. My signal was horrible. I had nothing at work and barely one at home. It also would barely hold a wifi signal even when laying the phone right next to my router. I've updated my profile and manually put prl 60679 on the phone and nothing improved. The only time I could get 3g was using the Verizon hybrid prl ( I don't have 4g here). I called sprint and updated the msi? And the lady said I was in great coverage at work and good at home. The signal was so bad in 4 ours of the phone sitting in my pocket doing nothing I lost 50% battery everyday. So this morning I unrooted to take the phone back to sprint for an exchange. I've been using it stock for about an hour and now wifi is good even outside my house and I get 2-3 bars most of the time. Is there any reason why this would be? I have owned about 90% of Verizon's android phones so I'm not new to this, I've just never seen this kind of difference between stock and rooted. I think I will wait and see if it stays like this or gets worse now and switch to the 3d if it is still bad. I switched to the nexus s because I love plain android, butit was so bad before I couldn't even make phone calls or send text unless I got lucky and it would connect.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
the only thing i know on the subject is i left my phone unrooted for a couple of days. never noticed a difference after rooting. seems to be many conflicting reports on signal issues when it comes to the nexus. i have generally lower signal (3g 4g wifi) than my evo. really hope its software related so i can get a fix.
Rooting doesn't affect the phone's radio.
Maybe the ROM was bad?
ive been watching my signal strength for a day and its usually around -86. my evo was always -90 or more
It could be the rom I just don't get it. I've never had a problem with cm7. I'm going to root and fund it stock rooted and see then maybe go with something else

damn i like soju 2.6 too. oh well stocks not bad either. i see theres 4 kernels to chose from and 2 are experimental
ok so i flashed my "out_of_the_box" back up and updated prl and profile and my status numbers are the same. i did notice tho that with soju 2.6 i was on evdo rev 0, and now back to stock im on rev A
now wtf? after i flashed a netarchy kernal (stable bfs 2.3.4) im on rev 0 again. what going on here?
Here's what I'm gauging my claim on. I live in a basement apartment so I get awful service anyway. But, on CM7 I can't make a call without it dropping, and mms is out of the question. On stock, I can almost always get through a call and mms sends no problem. I have an airave and its the same story on that. CM7 the mms just sits there with the icon spinning forever. Stock it sends almost instantly. I keep a backup of both and just switch between depending on what I'm doing.

My favorite quote "Engineers are educated beyond their intelligence." Ironically, I am in school for engineering
Now I have a problem. I rooted again and right now I am stock rooted. My signal is back to being bad again. So I can either remain stock or switch back to Verizon or go with 3vo. I came to sprint just for this phone so I can root and play. I don't know what to do. I have 18 days left until my 30 is up...
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I rooted a couple days ago, haven't noticed much of a difference in signal strength practically... BUT my time without signal went from 1% to about 8% . Obviously battery life suffered somewhat.
Currently I'm on EvDO rev. A.
Will continue to post updates.
So I have switched to the hybrid 00001 prl for now and I get decent signal, eve get some at work. I figure if I'm going to switch tithe 3vo in a week I won't go over the 300mb roam limit. Its a shame too I like this phone, I just want something j can play with.
