I've been using wireless tether at my place because I can't stomach the 50 bucks a month for internet until I start my new job and it works fine for a bit on 4G but after a bit the 4G just goes out. It doesn't work on the phone or the computer and I have to switch back to 3G. I just recently switched from Nebula rom to Midnight rom doing a full wipe And not restoring any data in the hopes that that would fix it. It didn't so I then tried reflashing the modem in Odin but it didn't make a difference. Does anyone know what's up? Any help or suggestions are much appreciated!

Same issue. 4G power user here in Towson, MD, and the 4G would go in and out on some nights using the free tether. I stomached it, and bought the Sprint access point plan to test if it was me or Sprint and so far I have full 4G service (before it would go in and out) and have only lost Internet access once. I'm thinking Sprint flips a switch and bumps up the QoS. Download rates are roughly the same. 5mbps down, 1.1 mbps up although today (everyone is off my tower and at work while I work from home?) I get pretty good speeds.
Thanks for the info. 30 bucks would still be cheaper than Comcast.

Yep and ur wrong about deodexed roms... Mobile ap only works on 2.1 stock odexed rom rooted with custom kernal some have said it works on stock kernal too if ur rooted and when I went up to St. Louis the 4g worked amazing over it so fast thought I was on wifi.. mobile ap is currently a WIP for deodexed roms and froyo...

I tried it once on my stock rooted epic and it bootlooped and they told meit was for deodexed lol but that was way back when the app was first ported. I guess they worked it out. In anycase, id go with that OP. Now if only they can get it for froyo...

Hi everyone, I am in a bit of a quagmire. I have an evo, on boost which was working very well. For some reason, i started to get connection errors, and for a while I struggled with error 67 and 104's. Got past that. Problem is that my 3g speed and connectivity suck, and by that I mean 900+ pings and .11-.13 in speedtest, not to mention the disconnecting. Sounds like a PRL issue right? Updated that yesterday (manually through cdma workshop obviously since im on boost) and still nothing, same speeds. Is this a settings issue? Is there something I am doing wrong? I am on a stock sense with root.
I am seriously considering selling the phone at this point. My iphone never gave me this kind of grief on simple.

Well then that's probably his problem, as the Evo is not meant to run on boost. Hacking it to run on another network is bound to give you problems.
First of all it was working fine until recently. That 50 page thread was basically edit the host file to 0000 which did nothing. Anyone wsnna contribute and not send me on a wild goose chase? Cake will b given

Boost is on sprints network, so perhaps his experience is the shared experience some of us are getting

No answers, but I'm having the same problem on the Sprint 3g network. Also getting 1000+ ms pings and download speeds have been less than 100 kbps since Friday. 4g seems to be working fine (when I can connect). Don't know if it is a coincidence, but change occured after PRL 01115 update.
Anyone?

You don't need to keep bumping your thread. If you read the post I gave, you would know this is a nationwide issue with sprint. Their towers are overloaded. I haven't gotten above 100kbps on sprint since November.

And if you read what I said,i was fine until one week ago, and something changed. If sprint had this issue w every customer 24/7 they would be out if business. Again, reading the post helps. STOP digging in your heels. This is a software issue for most ppl, hence why I am here looking for an answer

And again, if you read the data speeds thread, you would see that this EXACT thing happens to many people. Some people will have normal data speeds for a few days, then dial-up speeds for a few days.
I'd say try updating your data profile if you were on sprint...but boost...no idea
I have updated my profile many times with no change. I agree that it may be something software (or EVO) related because I did simultaneous side-by-side speed tests on my son's Hero and my EVO, both on 3g with the same signal strength. The Hero was getting dowloand speeds 3-4 times faster than my EVO. I repeated many times with similar results.
Try that 1)phone>##3282#>edit mode (must now your MSL passcode)>data profile>push menu button>restore>commit mode....that's it. worked for me

Is there a way to backup before I do this? If I lose my boost settings I will not be able to restore them since i am not very good with cdma/qpst
Well In my case it's not changed anything but I got a normal data speed, and anyway you can't backup this settings. Your own risk

tried that, now i have no 3g.
its strange.try update profiles
I have successfully flashed the Evo 4G to Straight Talk.
The only issue I ran into was MMS. I had to use a different program to be able to use the MMS on the evo.
I have internet working on it at 3G speeds. I it way faster then Sprint or Boosts internet.
The network is super smooth.
If you are wondering how to flash the Evo over to Straight Talk please let me know.
###########################
Use APN Backup & Restore to backup, erase, then put these apns in the folder, and then restore them. Reboot and your MMS will work. Tested on HTC Androids Only.
Let me if you tested them on another phone.
Yes please post instructions
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
i thought straight talk was on tmobile which uses completely different frequencies than Sprint and requires a SIM card which the Evo doesn't support?
Yeah.. thats what I thought also, so not sure how it would be possible. He never replied back to my PM.
Probably just a troll.

I've had my Evo 4G flashed to Straight Talk since November 2011, but I can't get anymore to stick on the network. When I flash any HTC now it always says "unable to authenticate", but the internet works. I have the same problem with Verizon prepaid, so my question is does anybody know the solution to get HTC's to stay on the network?

Straight talk uses recycled phones and uses all cellphone providers. My sister started with a Sprint phone, went to Verizon and now has an ATT phone till she found good service at home.

Oh, didn't know about that one!! Im still very much interested.
Just wondering how you got your Evo to stay on the network? When I flash a HTC it says "unable to authenticate", but the 3G web works lol. Hope you can help.

what do you mean by flashed, are you spoofing the ESN of your evo to that of a Straight-talk supported phone? and that is not working?
I was not aware that straight talk supports CDMA phones...
You will need a donor phone from straight talk first. Buy a Samsung or LG cdma from straight talk first. Then let me know once you have that.
You will need to activate it.
Then you will need to copy NV Items 464-465 and 1192-1194
Copy the PRL
Copy the NAM and evdo settings

Im sure ill be hitting you up once I upgrade and will put my evo on pre-paid.
I have everything working on all HTC and LG androids so far. I did get a Samsung Transform with no mms but it worked really fast the Internet.
Post your questions here. I will try to make a tutorial but I will be using cdma workshop.3.8 so it may be slightly different

For an HTC One V with Cricket (yes, because of budget issues). I still plan on keeping the EVO, and will even donate it to developers of needed. But my question is, besides the One V, what other HTC no-contract phones do you think I would enjoy after all my time with the supersonic? Something I can modify with OC and UV and sound mods. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and again, hit me up if a dev needs a perfectly working EVO! Thanks.

You'd be better off getting a samsung device, less hassle to root and more development due to the easier rooting. Plus all the samsung devices are selling way more than htc now. Lots of ppl have come from the evolte to the sgs3 or note 2 from terrible reception and lte > 3g/wifi handoff issues where the data just drops out til a reboot.
I like to break stuff!
The cricket service on the 3vo is way better than sprint. My of evo gets 1.5 on 3g and the 3vo usually gat about 2.2 on 3g. Yes rooting is a pain but has gotten easier with a bootable CD ROM. Plus for around 100 for a used one with bad ESN how can you go wrong.

Good advice, I appreciate it. I ended up just flashing the EVO, but immediately afterwards I changed my number on their website and dialed *228 and let my phone reboot, now 3g internet doesn't work at all. Talk and text are fine.

I hope you flashed it yourself. When ever you change your number you have to open qpst and change it in there also to get you data to work. Now before you change anything you will want to make sure you read from the phone and then save that information on the pc. I normally call it whatever the old phone number was. Then you want to make sure you write down the IMSI_S number. It is in the cdma tab. Now go through the tabs and change all the old numbers to the new one. Then go back to the cdma tab and make sure the IMSI_S number is correct and then save that profile. Now write to your phone and once it reboots you will have data again.
I got a one v for my gf. its decent. screen is a little small and dont like the sealed battery. sound is good because of the beats audio. as far as rooting, not sure. she wont let me touch it

And no, I paid forty bucks to cricket to flash. And when I tried to go to a closer one to reflash they said I had to pay 20 bucks or go to the store I initially flashed at. How lame is that?

Sure you can hit me up here or my email which would be a little quicker to get any extra help you need. I have flashed two evo's and a 3vo myself and helped out on many more. Plus my last girlfriend liked to change her number every few months so fixing that will be a snap.
Email address coming via pm in a few moments.
If you want to, you can keep using your EVO on Ting (a Sprint MVNO). Ting allows you to BYOD and I've brought two EVOs over without any problems. No overage penalties and refunds for what you don't use.
If you don't use tons of data (or are always within range of wifi), it can be very cheap. If you stream movies all day, it'll cost you an arm and a leg, though.
Think of it as the open-source carrier.

I actually was just on Ting, haha, they're good service but too expensive, I like unlimited data.
Yeah so reflashing with cricket to regain 3g and mms is a no go right now, cricket wants to charge me and I can't do that right now. I'll be sure to shoot you an email in my attempts to get my phone working again.

It can be unlocked to work on Tmobile in some markets depending on what frequencies are available where you live. I am currently using my SPH-L720 on tmobile in PHX AZ . Some users have reported Net10 working and others ATT but I have never investigated this. If you want to see how it works I have compiled a guide that outlines the steps I took to make it work on Tmobile. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530610 Also look in the International SIM unlock thread in Development and the GSM data thread in general for further tips.
Also I'm sure it can be flashed to boost you just need the PRL file to flash. Check out this thread.
