EH06 -_____- - Epic 4G General

I take back every good thing I've said about EH06 working with Bamboozle. I went on my bi-weekly trip to NYC and had no problem locking gps. But it would drop after 5 minutes and I'd have to close Navigator and restart the trip. I received poor wifi signal in places where I normally am fine. And finally, and this one blows my mind....I lost 4G every 15 min. I'm in New York City. The best city in the world. In broad daylight. In the heart of downtown. I've never not had 4G in NY since I got this phone. I didn't like EG22 with bamboozle because it slayed my battery life and I don't like EH06 because it sucks. I'm gonna try EE03 with it, then back to SRF if it doesn't work out.

No 4g connecting

Can somebody help it seems that I can't get any 4g all of the sudden. Im running nebula rom. It searches for a while and says disconnected. I had 4g previously in Sacramento but today it never connects. I even went to 4 places where I've had it before but nothing.

Dallas here. No 4g tonight for us either it seems.
cd's or tapes?
how did you guys find out that 4g was down? i have been looking everywhere for a status page and couldn't find anything.
Thanks,

Random Drastic Battery Increase?

I've had this phone since October.. and battery life was meh, obviously.
About a month ago I switched to SRF Frozen, and the battery life was great. I was consistently getting 3 hours of screen on time throuh 12 hours use.
Then just out of nowhere, a couple days ago I've been getting 4 hours of screen on time and my phone lasting 16-20 hours.
I'm baffled, but in no way disappointed. I just found it really strange because I haven't downloaded any new apps in forever, and haven't changed my settings or usage at all.
This happen to anyone else?

Sounds like Sprint just erected a cell tower next to your home/work. This could definitely be attributed to better/more constant signal.

I'm guessing that could be it.. I just finished up a semester of college and went back home for the summer where I ALWAYS have full bars. When I'm at UMass I'm lucky to have 2 bars.
Wow I didn't know it made that big of a difference, especially since I'm alwas on wi-fi. Funny thing is, I get 4G when I'm at UMass and crappy evdo coverage, yet at home I get great evdo and no 4G.

Sprint looks to be upgrading their network hard

I had little to no service at my home for almost 2 weeks where I would usually get full bars but as of yesterday I get full.signal again and my 3g speeds have never been better. 2.5/1.2 mbs. Sprint seems to be getting things together

i hope they do that soon here. Thats how 3g was before the EVO and Epic came out with "4g"
although 4g definitely is a lot better these days...i get 8mb/s with a ping of ~50...Its NEVER dipped below 190 until a week ago.
Whatever this network vision thing is, im liking.
Now hopefully they can fix the problem where i go from 3 bars to 0 when i send a text or make a call and then get my bars back AFTER i hang up -_-

I was in Corpus Christi, TX the last few days. I remember the first night I got about 1.2Mbps dl and the next days or two I could barely get 100kbps. On the last day the speeds went back up. I'm pretty sure it was just my modem being lame (EG22).
Judging from similar topics in the past few months, this improvement seems to be the trend.

I don't think they have anywhere to go but up...its at rock bottom already.
If I remember right, a few months ago my signal and speed turned to complete crap. I tether while I'm at work so I can see the difference, and it was SLOOOOOWWWWWW.
About a month after that all of a sudden my 3g speeds jumped up and, most of the time, it's like I'm using the internet at home (aside of the random hiccups in speed). Now I'm hoping for 4g soon in my area

Pretty sure that is the Radio in your phone crashing and has nothing to do with Sprint's network. What Radio and ROM are you using? There have been known problems regarding this with the Gingerbread radios... EG22 still has this problem on my phone although not as frequently.

Post your 3G speeds

Anyone else get these kinds of speeds consistently? The first 3 were taken using the Wichita KS server and the last 3 were using the San Antonio TX server (which is where I'm at)..

Please post your setup as well. What rom and any mods.
I use to get speed like that on old acs (k0nane era) ec05 rom.... ever since I moved to Gingerbread I only have gotten 60-80 Kbs :-/
I'm on MarcusantRomV3 and with the EC05 modem I would get similar download speeds as you on the Los Angeles server. However, I flashed the EL30 modem yesterday, and my speeds have just been cut down to 20 kb/s :/
Here are mine 2 bars out of 4

Does anyone else find with EL30 that their phone seems to go to 1X a lot more than before, and is slow to come out and go to 3G?

Thank you for posting this, I did seem to notice this today, it's like wtf? I could of sworn I had good signal in the past, then I seem to realize places where I had good bars is now a lot less. I thought it was CM9 too but it could be the damn modem. Guess we'll see what the future holds, wether it be a leak modem, or official.

I'm seeing 1x a lot today in areas I would normally have 4 bars of 3g
I'm seeing a lot of 1x as well, I was on ec05 and had great signal but slow dl speeds but great signal but when I odind the fb15 I topped my all time high dl speed at 1.7 with one bar but still a lot of 1x. Crazy huh
+1 for it being sprint. I have been having it happen a lot lately and I am on EI22.
Is this result of the move to network vision? Or are they working on towers now?!? Hence the feast or famine signal.
