This is a strange one. I have been using Fresh Evo 3.2.0.0 rom for almost a month and it works great. I wanted to try another rom so I tried the VirusRom... it was good but I liked Fresh better. So reflashed my Nandroid image and all was well.
But then I started seeing a lot of failed connections to the market and noticed that my 3G was not connecting. I live in Chicago so I am fully covered by 3G in this area, and even 4G in many spots. Usually when I leave a wifi area, the phone switches back to 3G almost instantly. But ever since nandroiding back to the Fresh Evo 3.2.0.0 rom, it only works after a reboot. As soon as I hit a wifi zone and then lose it, 3G doesn't switch back on.
4G and Wifi both work, but if I disable both wifi and 4g.. 3g doesn't come back without a reboot.
I've even switched off the Mobile network using the widget and the power button menu.. no luck. Only a reboot brings it back.
So then I even did the trick to get my PRI up to 1.40 and that worked fine. But no change in the behavior of 3G. When I reboot and 3G is working, it works great as usual. Just not sure why the switching no longer works. I even tried switching back to the rooted sprint stock rom.. same deal.
Anyone else having any issues?

yes, I have noticed this at times. Just happened to me. Failed connection when switching off 4g to 3g. Using fresh 3.2. But I noticed this as well on other roms. I had to reboot each time to get 3g working again. I also reset my data connection last night but it obviously didnt work.
I've been having issues with my 3G for the past two days. Similar story, I did and Nand restore and that is when it started.
I am getting an error code 67 everytime I switch from Wifi, 4G or even when I reboot to try and fix this. Usually if I let it sit it will come back, but the error message popping up is quite annoying.
Wish I had something more helpful to say, but I can just add that I'm having the same problems switching from wifi to 3g. Even after 3g turns on it will sometimes turn off again randomly and I will have no connection. I'm also running fresh. In addition my 3g signals are quite week. kinda a mess...
Weird. My phone did this today for the first time. The thing is, I've been on Fresh 3.2 for a month now, and I flashed the latest Baked Snack rom yesterday to test it out. It never did it while I was on Fresh, but today after turning off WiFi, it wouldn't connect to 3G for anything. No text or data transfer at all. After I rebooted it, it started working again, but my phone never did this while I was on Fresh.
I am having the same problem and I am using Fresh 3.2 as well. I did go to a different rom but then went back to Fresh's rom and that is when it starting happening to me. It will only pick up 3g now and then and even when it does my speed is super slow. Hoping someone comes up with a fix as I made my own post but no one seems to feel the need to reply to it.
Theories...
Same here. I'm on Baked Snack 1.7x
I know Fresh and Hero both use some of the same components. I flashed to Cyano and have had no problems with the 3G radio. It's very snappy switching on and off after wifi connects and disconnects.
I do know there have been one or two issues with the radio with people who are on the 3.28.651.x roms. (for instance, if you enable 4G then disable, sometimes it randomly turns off and on without you knowing until you restart)
So my guess is maybe the 3.28.651.x series is glitchy. You guys want to try going back to 3.26.651.6 and do some testing?
happened to me on stock. Had to reboot the phone to fix it.
This seems to be working for me today with no problems so far. I am wondering if a tower was down with Sprint putting up the 4g around my city. Will keep posted if it happens again but seems to be running like normal now.
This has to be network issues maybe the latest PRL.
Mine has did the same last couple days also on power on , it takes longer for 3G icon to kick in.
Signal flux has been occurring more then norm fast download - Upload speeds taking hit some parts of the day.

I am on 3.26.651.6 build and this was happening. I am no longer having any problems with this. I do feel this might have been a problem Sprint's servers were having. Seems like everyone started having the problem right around the same time.
It must be... Going to an older PRL didn't help, and there are a bunch of forum topics being created about this on other forums as well. Guess it's time to play the waiting game.
My issue is so bad right now even if I restart my phone, it doesn't even get data connection right away. 10 minutes waiting now and error code 67's keep popping up.
This just happened to me today. It took me awhile to connect the error statement to the fact the 3g didn't turn on after I turned off wifi. But I was able to press the 'data connection' button on the switchpro widget to turn 3g back on.

That is how I got it working a little bit last evening but as I said in my last statement it is finally working and has been all day. Not sure what the deal actually was as I did not change anything since 2 evenings ago. I am thinking that Sprint is doing something which is messing everyone up at one point or another.
hey everyone
so my G2, which I absolutely love, has been having a problem lately. in the first week it happened maybe once and i didn't think much of it, but since Friday it's happened like 8 times now. I'll be sitting there with my G2 and all the sudden I have no service whatsoever. Just an x on the signal strength indicator. 1 or 2 times it has come back after a minute or two, but the other times I had to turn the phone off and back on. the weird part is I'm not moving at all, totally sitting still, but when it comes back on I have FULL bars with HSPA+. so it's not like I walked into an area that didn't get good reception.
any idea what's going on? i looked around but didn't see other people having this issue. any ideas?
thanks
alright well at least i'm not alone. i remember that rumored OTA update was supposed to have some radio bugfixes. maybe when the real OTA update comes it will have something to fix this. i hope so.
I have been trying to diagnose this issue on my phone too.
By any chance, do either of you have your BT on at the time?
Happens to mine as described and I have never turned on bluetooth. However this would also happen to my G1 so I think its a network thing personally.
Yeah, it definitely is. I have 2 areas that it happens in, both are while I am in my car and I have BT on in my car. When I ran it without BT, did not happen.
I have found that when I am in those area's, turning off 3G stops it entirely, even with BT on, so when in my car, I set edge and still use my BT and problem is gone.
I hope this is temporary and an OTA can fix the handoff from 3G to Edge and back better so that I can stop this, but this works well enough.
Mine has done that also, maybe once a week for the past 3 weeks.
Judging by the other problems you can have Id say this one isnt that bad. Especially if it only happens once a week haha. This is the only problem I have with my phone.
no bluetooth...
no no bluetooth on, i never do actually... but also my G1 never did this, which makes me think it's NOT a network thing, but I don't know.
also I'm sure this is just coincidence but it almost always happens when my girlfriend is nearby with her T-Mobile Blackberry Curve. i know it wouldn't make any sense, but she's sitting there on the same network with full service and all the sudden my G2 loses service completely, right next to her... although it's not always while she's there, but like the majority of the times she's been there.
I just started another post to check on something, I have widgets that show me when I am connected to 3G and when I am connected to H. I have noticed that the phone is activity managing that connection. In other word, it is in 3G until data is transfered then it goes to H. I wonder if when we are in areas of "questionable" HSDPA signal if this hand off is causing the problems.
I have seen a lot of op's say that there problems come right after some data activity?
Just a guess a this point
i saw someone mention in another post that it happens after/during a text message alot of times. i haven't noticed that myself, but that's something to think about too.

What I've heard is that the phone will stay in 3G mode until you begin using data in order to save battery life. Makes sense to me.
My wife and I both have the mt4g and have been experiencing intermittent data interruptions at home, where we have a strong "H" signal. It will happen on one phone, while the data continues to flow on the other phone, suggesting a phone issue vs a tower/connection issue.
Basically what happens, when doing something like downloading an app or playing slacker radio, the up/down arrows under the "H" become less solid/consistent and the download or slacker radio stops. When this happens, I've tried opening the web and am unable to get any websites to load (I get the kind of 'unavailable' error, as if I have no data connection). After like 2-10 minutes, things typically resume to normal.
Again, this will occur on one phone while the other continues to operate normally. Btw, got the phones on Friday afternoon and neither of us have received the 2.2.1 update. Any ideas on what the issue might be?
I've had that issue occasionally on every Android phone I've owned. It's never happened THAT often, so I've kinda dealt with it.
I am also having this "problem".
Sometimes I'm updating an app, others, while browsing the web.
I've had this happen once, but I rebooted and all was good again.

I have just started experiencing this issue recently too. I am gonna step out on a limb and say it may have something to do with the update because I never had this issue before it was pushed to me.
Edit: sorry went back and read your original post and saw that you didn't do the update- it is anyones guess then.

I had this issue on the second day, it seems to have vanished on it's own. I kept having to enable and disable "airplane mode" to get it back to working instead of rebooting.
My next plan was to toggle the network connection off/on when this happened and see if it cleared up the problem immediately (probably similar effect to toggling airplane mode). I actually just now got the update pushed, but it seemed like the data connection was stuck during the push (over 30 mins nothing was happening, and data download arrow not working, web not working, etc.). I rebooted and turned on wifi, and update was ready to install within a minute or so. I was hoping the update would fix the issue, but sounds like it persists at least for some. This happens far too frequently for my taste. I'm thinking about asking for replacement devices to at least rule-out defective units. I guess I'll see how it goes for the next day or two and report back.
I'm having the same issues with my G2, so I'm interested to see how this device is doing. I might consider switching.
I've still been having this problem, and it still seems to be occurring relatively frequently - like maybe every 15-30 minutes or so, and with it more likely to occur if I try to do multiple things at once (e.g., some combo of browse, download, slacker radio, etc.). Btw, this is happening on mobile data, not wifi...haven't really tested wifi much yet tbh.
I used widgetsoid to give myself a mobile data toggle to use when I had a problem. It seems like when the data connection gets locked up, tapping this toggle fixes the problem fairly quickly...but it is kind of annoying to have to tap this when it happens, and it's not always clear when there's a minor hiccup in the data vs a stall that's going to require me to 'reset' things.
Also, I noticed that the widetsoid mobile data toggle actually has the same effect whether you are toggling it 'off' or 'on'...either way, it turns off data momentarily, then the data indicator reappears and the data connection resumes. Anyone have a suggestion for something like widgetsoid that will actually toggle mobile data off and keep it off when in the off position?
If you use the sense launcher there is a network connection widget.

Keep in mind that the G2 and MT4G are the first two HSPA+ phones ever. There are bound to be some kinds in the network in the beginning, but I would bet they get ironed out quickly.
I have never had this problem before or read about it. I keep wifi on at my house cause it's faster. Well tonight I went to plug my phone in and I took it off wifi but my 3G won't come up. I've tried everything. Pulled battery out, went to airplane mode and then back tried to update prl. I can't get my 3G to come back on. I have an app called quick settings that I've had for a long to turn off my 3G to save battery and it just says connecting.I've deleted the app and downloaded it back again and nothing. This has never happened to me before. How can I get. My Internet back? I am really lost on this one. It's like it's locked up and wont come back on. Thanks. By the way I have just about full reception.

You might have to do a factory reset. Before you do wait a bit and see if anyone has other ideas.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm on 2.1 and rooted but nothing has changed on my phone for at least 2 wks. No new apps or anything. Will factory resetting break my root?
Wait a while. This has happened to me on occasion and it has nothing to do with anything I did.
Check with sprint to see if there's a data outage in your area. Or you can try traveling to a different location to see if you get 3g somewhere else and then update your profile/prl from there. I had the same experience with a similar app. Went to an area where I got 3g, called sprint, and they updated my profile. Try doing that to see what happens.
I let it try it all night last night and woke up and still no 3g at the top. i can turn wifi on and it works fine. it just wont bring up the 3g icon and when i look in the quick settings it is greyed and says connecting. ill wait til i leave the house today and try it later. i just dont think its gonna work it just seems like the 3g is locked since it wont even displays the icon but hopefully im wrong thanks for the help guys. i know what you mean b3nny but my phone wont even displays the 3g icon at the top. i would assume if there was an outage it would still display the icon at the top.m,y wife has a hero and her internet is fine so no outage. thanks for trying to help but i think a factory restore is my only option. im about ready to go get to sprint and get another epic.
if i go to sprint and show them my phone i have insurance but this should go thru the manufacturers warranty. would i get a new or refurb one? i know if you use the insurance you get a refurb but what about the warranty? its not only this reason but my phone freezes a lot and will back out of an application for no reason at all. im just done with this one. there has to be one that works better than this one.thanks
Is your 3G Data enabled in the settings?
Not completely sure if it applies to 2.1 as I am running 2.2, but try and go to: 'Menu->Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile networks' and see if the box is checked by '3G Data'. Again, I am running 2.2, so I dont know if it is exactly the same, but worth a check.
I just got done unrooting and reinstalling stock on my phone.. well now I either get 3G with NO service, or 1-2 bars of service. This happened randomly, how can I fix this?
hmm, someone go ahead and lock this thread.. I was attempting to connect to my home wifi (which doesnt work on most routers, so Im gonna take it back) and accidentally hit the volume down key, and somehow ALL of my bars instantly came back...
