LOOK... Fix for DJ_steve 1.7.0 3g, wifi, gps

Guys... I fixed my wifi, 3g, and Gps on 1.7.0....
1. back up your rom with nandroid (for safety)
2. go into custom recovery (streakmod or clock work) and wipe your delvik cache (i used streakmod)
3. Wipe your entire cache partition (very important)
4. Wipe all user data and perform reset using custom recovery streakmod or clockwork (not the streak's for now)
5. Let the phone boot up completely and it will force close everything really bad... let it sit for a couple minutes
6. reboot phone into DELL's 4 option recovery menu and select option 1 factory reset
7. after it factory resets using dells recovery reset it will boot up normally
8. go through phone set up as usual and use the ADW launcher NOT the other launcher
9. Configure phone to your liking and voila!!! you should be good
10. If your WIFI doesn't work at this point boot into streakmod or clockwork and wipe your dalvik cache 1 last time and your wifi will come back without a doubt.
11. As god is my witness this worked for me. If you find that it worked for you don't hesitate to hit the thanks button. I hope you have the same luck as me. Thanks
**EDIT** Been running my rom for approx 10 hours now and still no problem.... Also, WHATEVER YOU DO... DON'T USE TITANIUM BACKUP TO RESTORE YOUR APPS... Your apps will just force close... if this happens simply uninstall and reinstall and it will be fixed.

what exactly does this fix? initially when i updated from 1.6, my wifi and 3g were connected but i couldnt browse any sights, i just simply rebooted and everything was fine again

A tremendous amount of people are having issues with wifi,gps,data, and notification bars after updating to 1.7.0
This seems to be because they (including me) went from 1.6.1 to 1.7.0 and did one of 2 things... they carried over the perfmod and that is causing problems, and or the update itself is having issues updating.
Doing the steps that I have laid out has fixed 3 dell streaks and I am now running on a 99% stable version of 1.7.0 with perfmod in place which gives me quadrant scores of 2500+

I went from 1.6.1 to 1.7.0 and had wifi/3g/gps issues. I used my own combination of above to fix plus added the following to my build.propc to boost wifi/3g performance:
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=32
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hsupa.category=5
My phone worked great for a few days then rebooted on its own one evening and started cycle rebooting at the Dell logo. I was able to get into the streakmod util and reflash 1.7.1 and I was up and running again. This time my build.prop was missing the same entries, but performance seems ok.

by any chance, does this fix the fact that wifi doesnt work when i switch from data to wifi and data doesnt work when i switch from wifi to data? i have to reboot everytime i switch connections now

Yes. I had that same problem and it does fix the issue

Using 2 and 3 might be enough
Hi,
for me a full wipe this is no option. I have so many things customized and I hate to enter all my crendetials and other stuff again. But I don't think this method is needed for everyone. I just did the following:
1. back up your rom with nandroid (for safety)
2. go into custom recovery (streakmod or clock work) and wipe your delvik cache (i used streakmod)
That's all. After the boot my wifi, which made frequent problems worked again like a charm.
I also disagree all those "DON'T USE TITANIUM BACKUP TO RESTORE YOUR APPS" rumours on XDA. From my experience it is actually no problem to restore the APPs. And ONLY the apps, WITHOUT data! After that you can restore selected data for the apps where you customized to much to let it go. For my last full wipe this were only about 25 apps (from 250) where I also restored the data. And it is absolutely necessary for me to restore e.g. the wifi secrets, as I have many of them and I definitely do not want to enter them every time again, because of a full wipe. And the same applies to K-9, gmail, twitter, imo, yaaic ...
KarlchenK

So you edit the build.propc file to boost wifi?
brucealeg i see you edit the entries in the build.propc file in the streak to boost the wifi radio power if you did that does that mean the wifi antenna can be boost to better reception
if dj steve is here you can look in to this this would be awsome cuz that means that we will be able to boost the wifi just like it was possible on the iphone 3/ ipod touch 2 and 3 by just installing wififofum,
But this would be different
if you where to compare wifi range once boosted on ipod to dell streak dells range sucks . and i have an ipod i dont let go cuz of it but ipod is just so small

nobody out there knows?
no answer yet now i am worried

You will most likely get no feedback on your request and this version is old now. If there were or are adjustments they will be in the later ROMs.

[Q] Evo Will not sign onto 3g need assistance

Hardware Version 0003
Im having a issue with my Evo a few days ago I switched from mikfroyo to mikginger and since then i have only been able to get onto a CDMA-1xrtt network or 4G. could this just be a build issue on mikginger or is it possible that it is a issue with my actual hardware? I checked my gf's evo which is still on mikfroyo and shes able to get 3G and is never on 1x.
After searching I havent found anything to support the idea that its mikginger but has anyone else had this issue before I do a complete wipe and take the phone back to the new OTA

(Nandroid first) Flash a rooted 2.2 ROM, whether it be stock, Azrael, or such.
Go into EPST (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode), enter your MSL code, Data Profile, hit the menu button and choose restore. Just sit there, your phone will reboot and everything will go back to default. This should fix your 3G issue.
Have you updated your radios or something recently? I have, and seem to be staying on 3G more often.
I don't know about restoring from your nandroid, you can try it, but I always start fresh.

Download MSL reader from the market and write down your MSL code
Dial ##3282#
Choose edit mode
type in your MSL
Select Data Profile
Hit Menu on your phone
Hit restore
hit okay.
It will reboot phone and reactivate. You should have 3G after that. I had to do that as well recently. the stock EVO only shows 3G even when I am in 1X so I was always in 1X just didn't realize it.

What these guys said It doesn't need to be a stock rom, just a sense rom.

As you've found out, the notification icon is more of a guideline and spoof by HTC/Sprint to show 3G most of the time within the script. The aforementioned tips could very well do the trick for you or it could be hardware related. I've done those steps and countless hours of doing everything under the sun to going as far as unrooting to see if it would come back..no dice. I was traveling and had the issue in several states, so it wasn't a local network issue as well.
One thing you can do is go into a rom with 2.0 or later sense. Go to Settings:>About phone:>Network...look under Mobile network type. If it says CDMA - EvDo rev. A, you can stop worrying about your 3G being borked. Going to an area that you KNOW has 3G may help with being comfortable. If it says 1Xrxx then you might have a hardware issue as I did, and had to get mine swapped out. Hopefully it's within the first year or you have the insurance if that is the case.
Hopefully the tips given before fix the issue, which it should aside from hardware issues.
Good Luck

thanks, it did the trick I am using MikGinger and ended up doing a full wipe for the update, did the trick and im back to my normal speeds
Thanks Everyone

I have the same issue after flashing a MikG rom. However, entering ##3282# in my dialer doesn't do anything. It doesn't launch EPST as its supposed to. How do I fix that?

what mik rom are you using, I have no problem with 2.0 and my issue was on 1.4

I'm using the latest, 2.15. I wiped everything before flashing. I tried updating the profile and even called Sprint to have an updated data profile pushed to my phone, but it still only shows 1x and the speeds are terrible.

The strange thing is that I wasn't able to use ##DATA# on my phone before I flashed to MikG either. I got 3G Rev A, but I couldn't get into EPST.
I flashed another ROM today (deck gingerbread 1.2) and I still don't have 3G. Any help?

OK, so I flashed to an AOSP Gingerbread ROM where I was still having the issue with only seeing 1x.
Then I flashed the latest radio, NV and PRI. Still no 3G.
Then I flashed to the latest stock rooted ROM. There I was finally able to get into EPST and change the setting to Automatic. It was on CDMA Only.
I now see State 3 = Connected in the EVDO Engineering menu from the Field Test Menu (##33284#). Hope this helps someone else. No wonder I had been getting ****ty "3G" speeds ever since I got my EVO. I wish the stock ROM would tell you that you're on 1x, not EV-DO, like every other phone does.
Now as my final step, I'm about to restore the backup of the Sense 2.1 ROM I flashed yesterday.

Restoring back to MikG 2.15 was a success, I have actual 3G now.
My apps are all there, but user data is gone and the apps that I downloaded from the Android Market don't show in the My Apps section. I might hard reset and install everything from scratch because I don't know if its as smooth as it could be either.

No 3G
I'm having the same issue on my girl friends phone. When I flash mikg rom on it no 3G, only 1x. When I flash fresh evo, it works just fine. I wonder why this is? My phone has no problems what so ever. I flashed the same roms she did.

How are you flashing? What recovery? Are you wiping everything? Are your radios up to date? Did you update prl and profile after flashing?

Im using AM 2.3 recovery. I did all that. I wiped everything. The funny thing is that I did the same thing on my phone that I did on hers and mines works perfect. We went from Fresh EVO to MikG. I put her back on Fresh evo (flashed the new version) to fix the issue. But she is being a pain in the butt and wants the same ROM cuz she wants to use some of the themes for MikG and what not. Anyways, I'm going home and going to try the fix using ##DATA# and see if it works. I'm just more curious to know why this happens to some phones and not others.

it worked
Well going to fresh evo then restoring my networking using ##DATA# worked. I flashed MikG and she has 3G now. Thanks guys.

Problems with 3g and ROMs

So when I first rooted my phone I put Fresh on there. I installed the ROM and the 2 radio files. I then got the 3d and gave the evo to my gf, but fresh was very slow for me so I installed the CM7 ROM.
CM7 was very buggy for her, especially since she was new to Android I decided Sprint Lover's ROM on there and flashed a newer update on it since.
The problem is that she has been having problems with 3g. She has so many problems and errors with 3g data. It shows that she has 3g, but she gets errors when she tries to access the internet.
My question is, how can I get it back to stock or a nice rooted stock rom to try and fix this problem? Do I just flash a stock rom? I'm guessing the fresh radio's might be messing something up. If there is a simple solution to this without having to do a full erase I'm sure she prefers that, being that we've fully erased her phone like 4 times already, lol.
Thanks guys.

Get the Sprint Lovers all-in-one package from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153
It's flashed through hboot (it's a PC36IMG.zip) and will flash not just the rom but also the radios. This will wipe everything.
Alternately you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 and get just the latest radios and flash those. Flashing this will not wipe everything.
If the problem is with the radios then that should fix it. If it doesn't, then it's likely that the issue lies somewhere else.

thanks, just installed the new radio's. Will see how it works.

I would definitely just get the app mybackup root and back everything up apps/data , sms etc.. Then just restore everything after you flash a new ROM.
Then just do a fresh install of what ever ROM you want then test out different radios till you find the best ones that work for you I'm on old radios because the newer ones didn't work great for me not all evos work the same .
I hope that helps you out some.

I got simalar problem like u.
I installed new radios, try different roms like MIUI, CM6, CM7, Miks, Minn, OMJ's, etc...... finally I go back to stock rom but still got the same problem.
I almost crazyy
the phone never got 3G signal, it only works 1G no matter what I did.
I've reserched couple days but looks like nobody got my problem.
now I fixed my problem btw... well I'm not sure this thing works to u or not
anyway try it if u still got 3G problem.
*I don't even remember where this posted originally,,, somewhere this forum or not,,
huge thanks to original author btw
download 'MSL reader' at market n get the numbers. it's 6 digits.
go to your phone and type ##3282#
tap 'edit mode'
type that 6 digits from MSL reader
tap 'data profile'
open menu n tap 'restore'
then the phone will be reboot.
when booting is done, your phone will start resistering to network.
after that, if something popup n ask update (mayb PRL update), 'cancel' it.
mine works perfectly now.
hope this work to u.

ok thanks, i'll try it out. I do get "3g" at the top though, but always get an error while trying to retrieve data.
Also, what files in the SD card are necessary? Is there a list? I think there are so many junk files in there taking up space, I don't know whats necessary and whats not.

Please help slow EVO 4G after flashing Sprint Lovers All In One
Obvious Noob here.
having issues with my Evo 4G after flashing Sprint Lovers All in one
phone seemed very fast immediatly after flashing SL but since then has become just overall slow.
in fact, i'm downloading an update to ROM Manager right now (a 2.27MB file) and it's taken literally 20 minutes to get to 75%. it's painful!
when i go in to manage applications...says "computing" on space, data and cache etc.
before i flashed SL all in one i ran factory reset 3x in a row prior to flashing - i did NOT re-format my SD card but had it removed (after unmounting).
Should i try to wipe and re-flash or just go to CM7? Are there any things i can try before re-flashing or moving to another rom? Please help..
thank you OB1B

MIUI signal dropping

Hey guys,
before you guys roast me Ive asked the guys on the MIUI forums this question before but have been unable to get a sufficient answer other than "flash the newest radios" which I've done before.
My problem is when I'm at home(and only at home) I get an inconsistent signal. My phone will have an OK signal one moment, and then a minute later have no signal at all. This only happens in the apartment complex which I live in. Everywhere else my phone functions as it did before.
The problem apparently happens when I flash a new version of MIUI outside of my home. It happened this summer and never resolved for months, even after I switched to a sense ROM and flashed new radios. After a while the problem went away by itself and I switched back to MIUI no problems, and have been back on MIUI for a couple of months now.
Last week I flashed a new version of the ROM outside of home again and the signal problems returned. When my signal first went bad I contacted Sprint and they told me of a "single cell outage" however the other people with Sprint phones in my building get service. So I'm inclined to believe I've done something to my phone that causes this signal drop.
Can anyone please help me???

Well you did all the trouble shooting yourself if everything fails the only problem is possible is the phone itself. If you have insurance just take down to Sprint store have them check it out. Also try turning on roaming see if that helps. Best of luck.

Instead of upgrading your radios, have you tried downgrading?
It could be a coincidence that your problems happen when flashing away from home. It could also be that some file is made on first boot of the rom that somehow affects your connectivity. It doesn't seem likely, but I don't really know what else it could be. Try Reflashing the rom over itself without wiping data... of course do this while at home. If you're not wiping system in between flashes then try doing a full wipe - boot, system, data, cache, dalvik, SD-ext, .android_secure - and flashing MIUI while at home. I know that the problem persisted after flashing a Sense rom and updating radios, but it's worth a shot. If that doesn't work, try downgrading your radio and/or PRI/NV.

Thanks for the input guys. I don't have time to do a full wipe right now since I have finals in a few days, but as soon as they are done I'll do a full wipe and maybe convert back to a SENSE rom and update the radios etc. Then I'll flash MIUI again.

You only need a sense rom to update the prl; you can update the radio, PRI, and NV through a flashable zip in recovery.

So I never wiped my phone/updated my PRI etc. but miraculously I have regained signal at home. I received my bill from Sprint and a few hours later I regained service. Cheers to Sprint, the shadiest phone company not named Boost Mobile!

APN issues?

I'm currently having issues where it seems that my APN settings aren't sticking. My cellular service & data work fine until I go into an area where I lose service & then when I reenter the service area my data won't switch back on. & sometimes it seems to lose data for absolutely no reason. But if I go into *#*#data#*#* & restore default APN settings & reboot my data works again. I'm on sprints network, using screwd rom, latest milestone build, the latest bootloader, & the latest radio. I've tried update prl. Ive tried update device configuration & when i update device configuration after it finishes I lose both data & cellular service until I reboot. I've tried performing "hands free activation" which also causes me to lose cellular service until after I reboot again. I've clean flashing rom & gapps, even tho I don't think its rom related. Reflashing the latest radio IMG. My next step is restoring the device to a google stock factory img & then starting all over. Anyone who has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate the help.

Upon further research it appears to be a bug in googles code affecting aosp ROMs. Doesn't affect all aosp ROMs tho. No known fix yet
