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?

If you mean the modem, yes...thought it was CM9.

Yes, also on cm9a5 and I gets lots of lag when connected to 3g. Barely connect to 4g

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 dont think its the modem, I think its sprint.

It could be the modem. I've been on EH17 modem (too lazy to change) and I've noticed no decrease in my signal strength.

"Been running fb15 modem for past few days... Didn't have problem till today... Keep dropping to roaming and no data... I'm on 4g right now to send this msg... Any ideas? Rebooted phone.. Update prl and profile.. It's still flaky..
Maybe sprint is having a bad day?
(this is in an area that was good before) "
My phone kept going to 1x as well. My conclusion is sprint sucks.

Agreed.........signal on FB15 is a definite improvement over EL30 in this area.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm not sure if fb15 is better yet because sprint is screwing up my test!
My next test is soon to be if tmo is better than sprint in my area!

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.

Anyone know how to increase network reception within the phone? My messaging is always shotty and it drives me nuts! Messages wont send on first attempt. I have to retry them and the person gets them twice. I always reboot or jump into airplane mode but its annoying as ****. Apparently the service on amy home isn't too good since it happens to my sisters intercept and her boyfriends evo but not like it hits me. Help!!!

There is a thread on here for how to make 4g reception better. If I recall it had tips for 3g too. Your nokia was a gsm phone most likely. Way different from your sprint cdma phone in penitration of buildings
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Call up Sprint and complain about coverage and tell them you are going to cancel. They will send you a free Airave that you hook up to your router. Basically a small cell tower that covers the inside of your house and some outside. I've had one for over 2 years and it wouldn't go without it.
I will tell you one thing about the Airave that you have to get used to. There is a small (but noticable) delay when you are using it. You say hello, and it takes a second to a second and a half for the other party to hear you. Sometimes I say "hello?" twice just as they answer me once.
If you're rooted you can purchase roam control from the market. That'll put your phone on constant roaming and hopefully give you better reception

[Tutorial] Reconnect to 4G much faster!!!

Its definitely thhe radio. On my hero I got 3g speeds of 3-5mb/s and always hadservice. Now I get 2 bars where I had 5. And sometimes I'll have allvmy bars until I make a call or send a text, then suddenly I'll have no service and everything fails, but when I hang up or back out the message app I get all my service back -_- sprints really annoying me. Everyone gets servicein my house but me.
My friend has an iphone andhe gets 3g full bars att
My friend with a MT3G (yes the original non 3.5mm having one) gets HSPA with full bars! As well as my friend with his HD2 and another with a droid x. I'm always told how great the service is in my house until they see MY signal

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.
