poor reception - EVO 4G General

Hello,
I have a HTC EVO 4G and recently rooted it but ever since I did I am getting poor 3G and wireless reception.
I dont know if I flash an out dated radio or what but I dont know if a more recent radio will help. Any help will would be great.

Your radio, your selection of rom. I tell you this much, put on vaelpak 3.2 RC2 rom on your phone and you def won't be having those problems. Watch that evo come to life!

I have already loaded a rom sorry I should have mention that before. I have loaded the EVO ZONE rom and ClockMod Recovery. Can I flash a up to date/ better radio with out flashing the entire rom?

Just try to update profile and update prl and see if that works. You should do that after flashing.

I did it but my 3G speeds are bad. I ran a speedtest while in a good 3G service area and was getting 0.4kbps down. I would like to go back to the stock Sense rom but dummy me didnt back it up.

I'm also experiencing the same issue(s)

I totally agree with ropodope. It can definitely be the rom, I used the original Miui and noticed I had poor reception where I would normally have good reception. It could be the radio or maybe even the kernel, my suggestion would be try different roms and kernels because you can find what works best on your phone.
Good luck.

Ok I am running the lastest EVO ZONE rom what other roms would be good for a HTC EVO 4G?

It can't be the kernel as the kernel plays no role in reception at all.

Yes you can download updated radios or previous radios to find your trouble spot. Just dl them to your sd card and flash as you would a rom or a kernel. Wipe your cache and dalvik cache first. Wait a couple of minutes to allow the radio to write the image. When done flashing, just reboot. The radios are on here. Just do a search.

It could legitamatley be your coverage area was reduced. See http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/281992#281992 for details. You can call Sprint and get an Airave.

You have any suggestion on getting a good radio to flash?

You should try downloading rom manager from the market. I'm sure there is a few stock evo roms on there. If you can't find a rom that is to your liking you can check the roms in the evo 4G development forums here on XDA. Be sure to read about the roms and what others are saying about the rom before you flash. A lot of the time I find that after seeing 10 to 20 people complain about the same or similar issues I wouldn't be satisfied with that rom, but that's just me.

I love my AirRave! Def great where Sprint signal isn't avail!

Here are your radios, and other nifty updates: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
As far as 3g I have tried this fix with good results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485

To be honest, Ive had bad reception with PRI 1.77 and 1.90. Also my roms are varying day to day i try new ones.
roms i think are good are MikZ, mikG, Evokings and other sense roms.

When I got my phone in January I had GREAT signal here at work. I noticed that after I rooted it I lost that great signal. Now I'm back to 1-0 bars all day. I think something in the rooting process screws the signal, I don't know much about it so I'm not sure what that could be. All I know is before I rooted my phone I sat at work with 3g signal in the basement of the building. After rooting I'm lucky to get 2 bars in the parking lot. I ran just the rooted stock for 2 months hoping it would magically clear itself up but of course it didn't
I've tried 3 ROMS so far. Fresh 4.0, MikFroyo & VaelPak. Of the 3 I seem to get a slightly better signal with VP.

Well I tried Rom manager and it seem to work got a stock rooted Rom which works pretty good. Does anyone know how to unroot? Unfortunately I didn't backup the Sprint stock Rom when I rooted it. I try ruu but it failed.

This radio works fine on the Eris. Still, use caution when flashing it and if your phone explodes don't spam the dev forum asking for help.
No more not being able to make/receive calls as of yet. Also it seems my wifi tether works now but may have been the new ivan rom that came out.
I recommend against flashing non-Eris specific radios.
Do it at your own risk.

Yeah, that's not true dude. Flashing an incorrect radio update CAN completely brick your phone. Flashing a radio update updates your SPL. If the SPL isn't compatible with your phone/kernel, it could very well completely ruin your phone beyond recoverable.
You're lucky, but for future reference, it's a really bad idea to go flashing any ol' radio update except one that's been tested and working with your phone and kernel.

so awesome
This is why I felt comfortable with flashing the radio...
The ONLY reason I flashed this radio is due to the fact that others did this with no bad side effects (so far). Also, toastcfh has tested other heroc radios on an Eris with no bad side effects (so far) as well as done some good research for us by flashing the radios and seems to be quite knowledgeable when it comes to them.
I'm not authorizing that you should go flashing "any 'ol radio" but heroc and desirec radios seem to be created with the intention of being used on Sprint and Verizon according to research by toastcfh.
toastcfh said:
now for the question about why some radios say heroc instead of eris...
the heroc radio are just that... heroc radios from sprint. its a cdma radio so it works the same as verizon radio. dont believe me?! do a strings | grep on all the radios and u will see they are all using both sprint and verizon logins and such. also as right now im running the latest radio which is the heroc one. everything works fine and its the one ive had best results with on both my Sprint Hero and my wifes Verizon Eris. although others may find better results with other versions.

I believe that was/is a bug with the nexus lock mod. I remember when lwp mod first came out I tried it and noticed the sim card message. I have not gone back to that since so I can't be 100% sure.

Is anyone experiencing any issues with this one, I have flashed this radio and my 3G signal is not as good as it used to be.
I have 2 Eris' one stock (baseband 2.32.40.11.09) and one rooted with 2.42.00.03.10. The stock gets 4 3G bars with -70dBm while the rooted Eris gets 2 or less bars with -52 dBm.
From what I'm seeing, 3G speed is also suffering on the Eris with the newer baseband. Can anyone make sense of this?

yeah that's what doesn't make sense to me. the rooted phone says it has a better signal strength, but I'm only getting 2 3G bars (at most!).
I would like to test it but I am unable to find the original 2.32.40.11.09 radio image.
@above
metering has changed in more recent radios. aka bars vs signal strength is different.
soooo is this a yes or no go for flashing?
I tried this out, no noticeable difference in signal strength or speed where I am. Flashed it back to the newest ERIS radio...

It would probably be helpful if you told us what radio you are currently on. I'm still using 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03 as well and it's been pretty good. Occasionally I cant get a signal but its usually pretty good.
Thanks everyone. Updated radio everything seems better now

UPDATE: Seems like the problem is still their. Thought it was gone but loose signal drops calls and voice fades in and out. i am running the latest radio. Does any one have a nandroid backup of the stock telus rom etc. Maybee its a hardware issue
thanks
update above
I'm in Vancouver and been using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 for a while now and everything seems to work fine ( I am not using bluetooth though). You might want to give it a try or/and maybe change the ROM. I remember reading somewhere on the VillainRom.co.uk forums that Telus Hero users with a Froyo ROM should use 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 but that was months ago when early versions of FroydVillain were released so I don't know.
I shuould note, GPS tends to be kind of slower than I`d like. Been thinking about updating to the latest but I wonder if it really changes anything.

3G and H switch back and forth in custom rom

So I flash all the custom rom for mt4g, gorilla, evil, cy and notice the H change to 3G and sometime to E constantly, at first I thought it may be the coverage area. My friend has pure mt4g, never rooted, never flash, it is a stock rom. His is H while my Gorillia DHD said 3G, I decided to do a speed test, my friend mt4g was faster with H while my was much slower even though we sitting next to each other.
My question is why does the 3g switch back to h constantly? and when it switch back to 3g, it was slower too?
Where can I get pure stock rom from tmobile for the mt4g so I can test it against with my friend mt4g phone?
The stock tmobile ROM shows H for HSPA and HSPA+. while the custom ROMs show what you are actually getting.
Your phone is being honest, while his is lying about it makeing you think its HSPA+ all the time.

While you are correct, he also made it clear that speed tests indicated better performance out of stock. I have also experienced this issue, it is the primary reason why I don't use CM7. I'm in a pretty bad coverage area, and it seems that the stock rom does a better job of managing the shift between different networks. The best speeds I got were on CM7, but in a series the results were all over the place. In an applied situation, streamed video would constantly need to rebuffer with CM7, while my GF's stock would play it smooth. This wasn't a one time test, i did it 10-20 times in different areas all with the same result. I don't blame CM7 by any means, but I can't get it to be consistent so I can't use it. I'm new to android but i'm not new to hacking/flashing devices, this was the ONLY problem I couldn't resolve with CM7, everything else ran flawlessly.
My wife is still rocking tmo's stock ROM while I am using CM7RC1 ive personally never had performance issues that she passed with ease.
I cannot relate to what you are describing.

I see the custom Tom are more honest but the speed issues still are not explain, tmo stock get better speed but performance is crap compare to cm7, I try to restore back to stock so I can speed test but have no luck yet does anyone have the stock tmo so I can install through rom manager?

Without being able to use a custom Kernel, I don't see any reason to go to Gingerbread. Kernels are the only thing that actually makes your phone have better battery life, ROMS are great for looking great, but for battery ill wait!
You should try Synergy. Myn has it done right. Super snappy, everything works. Check out his warm 2.2 thread in development. I miss the looks of warm 2.2, but Myn will have them on 2.3 soon enough I'm sure.

Yup, I've tried something like 5 different gb roms, and they all had one issue or another. Thanks for this thread, it made me decide to go back to good old warm 2.2.

[Q] Phone sometimes does not receive calls, but I get voicemail.

I have a Fascinate running a "PowerWashed" FroYo build. This has been running fine for months, but the past few weeks, I occasionally don't receive calls. I'll get a notification for a new voicemail, but no missed call on record.
This didn't bother me too much until yesterday. My wife and baby were in a car accident (rear-ended by a 23 year old, texting of course....) My wife repeatedly called me. The calls never made it. Only after frantically calling me time and time again did she leave me a voicemail, which I got the notification for.
Could this be a problem with the rom? The radio? I'm not sure where to start. I don't want to spend a lot of time flashing new stuff if I don't need to. If I have to flash anyway, I sure wouldn't mind flashing an ICS build if there is a stable enough one for Fascinate.
This has been an ongoing issue ever since Froyo was released. Verizon says it was supposedly fixed in ED05 but reports are mixed on whether or not it is. Also people say this is worse in areas where LTE is present but I don't know how substantial that is.
What version of Power washed are you running? Have you tried upgrading to an EH03 from like Superclean3 or GeeWiz 2.4.2 or 2.5?

I would update the radio to EH03, because it is a reliable radio version. I had a similar problem but with my version of ICS because the radio the ROM came with was jacked up.

ICS builds not come with a radio...its uses the radio you previously had.
Must have been a different one then, but either way using stock radios does insure greater reliability

geewiz or scms2 are good ideas, pair them with either kgb or geewiz kernel and your phone will fly. either use ec09 or eh03 modem. imo eh03 is faster and ec09 is more reliable when it comes to not switching from 1x to 3g.

What version of Power washed are you running? Have you tried upgrading to an EH03 from like Superclean3 or GeeWiz 2.4.2 or 2.5?

The rom I used is "powerwash v1.2 testkernel 08152011". So, I guess it's a bit old. I want a rock-solid rom with 100% incoming call reception success. ICS preferred of course, but would take Gingerbread if the call reception is more solid.

Just flash the ec09 or eh03 radio...when i ran powerwashed froyo, i used imnuts pbj kernel with ec09 radio. Rock solid setup with no missed calls. But yes upgrade to something like superclean3 with kgb kernel or cm7.2 with glitchv13.1
I can't seem to find just the EH03 radio. Where can I get this? Also, can I flash through Clockwork, or do I have to do this with ODIN again?

Thanks everyone. I flashed EH03 with directions on post #3 here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...tom-roms-w-root-clockwork-updated-3-25-a.html
Hopefully I start receiving all calls again.
