Display turns on, app runs, PRL updates.... - Epic 4G General

So I was just sitting here and my display turned on, the phone didn't show the unlock screen, went straight to the home screen, suddenly an app starts and the PRL updates. After which, my PRL, which was on 60676, was still on 60676. I run the update process fairly regularly and it's been on 60676 since I remember.
Has anyone else seen this type of behavior? I saw 60677 available for a couple weeks, and my phone wouldn't retrieve it when running the update. Anyone else that had 60677 get reverted? What were the changes that they decided people shouldn't have?

This has happened to atleast one other person within the last 3 days,cant/won't try to link right now,at work,just checkin in... But get this,I just got the up arrow of death,yeah that's right,I really hate the EC05 modem,and EC05 in general compared to DK28. You might not care,but I'm trying my hardest to combine all 3 Froyo updates into 1,this will use the DK28 modem and kernel at first,and will have most libs and other things/tweaks from EB13 and EC05.
Edit::: that timed out twice,that's the **** I'm talking about.
Edit::: Sorry,as for the PRL reverting,that makes me think Sprint is Fin Fd up even Fin more then before,

my phone didnt start the prl update its self I was just checking to see if there was an update to it and it went back to 76 from 77 and my phone is not updating to 77 any more.

Sprint is recalling 77. This is why most people get errors trying to update prl and profile. I believe they locked down a lot of those servers until they get it straight.

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.

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.

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...

Problem loosing signal

We got my gf an evo about a month ago, and she said she didn't wanna get it because her last one (hero) was an htc, and she had a problem where it would lose signal and people would call, and she would never know because of the loss of signal. I told her that HTC has come a long way and that the loss of signal wouldnt be a problem... well come now, she is having the same damn problem... I called her yesterday and it wasn't going through. called her on tango (via wifi) and she picked up. I told her I couldnt get through... she cycled airplane mode and it fixed the problem... problem is, it just happened again... and it keeps happening. she loses all her bars, and then we gotta recycle airplane mode to get it to work again. but if you don't know you lost signal, people call you and you're missing the call.
FYI, I have the epic and I had full bars when she lost her signal...
I tried updating the PRL, and it was trying to update/check for updates for a little too long. my epic did it too...
anyways,
android 2.2
baseband 2.15.00.09.01
kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e
build number 3.29.651.5
pri 1.77_003
prl 60671
any help is appreciated guys...
edit: just did it again. it did it 3 nights since 3 hours i've been here. just did the last 2 within 10 mins of each other.
btw, I'm trying to do a PRL update, but it won't work... same with my epic. none of the updates are working.
on my verizon, I could dial *228 to update something that fixed these problems, but it won't work on on verizon.
Sound like it isn't a phone problem, but more likely a network problem. Seems to me that the sprint cellular signal isn't that strong in your area or that maybe the network went down or is under maintenance.

my epic is picking up signals just fine though... both sprint phones.

EVO and/or Sprint issue today.

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?
Whiteice
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

Ota bug?

As soon as I turned on wifi this went away, not sure what it was ....
Turned wifi off and it came back, this is werid..
Then it said disconnected.
Yeah I've been getting this as well. Disabled the service in Application settings, it kept trying to send me the same update, I had to flash JI6 with Odin because I Froyo off of Mini Kies screwed my phone up.
Yea I had the same bug.. and I am running the official 2.2 ROM; It went away after a few minutes. For a moment I thought it was 2.3
same here....im on stock ka6 and its been coming and going all day...really annoying actually cuz every time there is a pop up saying session disconnected or something
I got this just once today too. Odd.
