I'm having trouble with my EVO staying in 3G coverage. My phone is fully rooted and running Froyo (The problems were the same with the Eclair build however), have the 2.05+ radio installed (however the problems were the same with the 1.39 radio as well) and I'm living in Michigan.
At any given time my phone will slip into 1X coverage and will seem to lock in there. When I first received the phone I felt like the phone quality was subpar compared to the Hero I had prior. I'm not sure if its been a firmware issue or network issue or simply a phone issue (starting to think the later), but hoping its a simple fix with something else.
About a week ago I was on a trip across Michigan which should have had 3g coverage the entire way (I was a passenger and trying to use wireless tethering to do some work along the trip). I would constantly go into 1X and would have to restart my phone to get back in 3G. Even at home I'll go into 1X and will have to reboot my phone to get it back to 3G.
I've tried Real Signal as well during these times and it also shows no 3G signal.
Anyways, anyone else experience this? Is it likely a bad radio or something else. I hate to have to return the phone and go through that process plus root again but I might have to at this point.
Thanks for any help that can be provided!!
Hmmm, whereabouts in MI? I am all over the south east and have never seen my phone drop out of 3G yet.
Have you tried wiping everything and trying stock rom w/OTA 1.47 just to make sure it isn't the ROM?
I am having the exact same problem. Using 2.0xxx radio and Fresh 0.5.3. I recently exchanged my phone and got a new one. The first phone did not do this
Try this:
When it shows you no 3G coverage, instead of restarting, go to-- SETTINGS> WIRELESS & NETWORKS> scroll down and look at "Mobile Network". When i get the 3g problem it says "Connection Failed". I think uncheck that box and re-check it and it connects back to 3g again (for a time, but then I have to do it again).
My MOBILE NETWORK settings are: Data Roaming = OFF, Always-on mobile data = ON, and CDM Roaming mode is set to: SPRINT only. Call guard = ON but i dunno what that means.
I dunno wtf is going on with this. Im in Houston and this issue is really pissing me off because i actually got a Novatek screen this time and don't want to risk taking the phone back and getting the Epson...
Anyone else experiencing this retarded issue?
Elegant: I'm in SE Michigan as well. I've tried several roms and have had issues with them all. I'm currently using a Froyo rom with similar issues as I've had with stock and other eclair roms.
As for checking/unchecking the box as you stated in Froyo I don't have that option available... I'm sure there's another way to get to it but I can't through settings. I think there was a #* code to get to where you are talking about but I'd have to look again.
It is a very annoying issue and like yourself I don't want to have to return my phone if there's a simple fix.
On a side note: How do I find out what panel I have? I've been considering the kernel that would get rid of the 30 fps cap but haven't yet pulled the trigger in part because I don't know which panel I have - and because I need to learn a little more about it before I go ahead with it.

Post 3 tells how to determine screen
Thanks for your help - got the kernel and now get around 40 FPS. Now if I can just figure out why the phone goes in and out of 3g on occasion. Its really not as big a deal when I'm at home but when I travel it is a pain.
well i returned my phone and got one with an Epson screen. im using Fresh 1.0.1 and it is even worse. i cant even use 3g data for more than 5 seconds before it disconnects. i've read some stuff about APN but dont know how to refresh/update them. i've updated PRL and Profile and nothing helps. how am i having this problem with 2 phones running 2 different ROMs? last rom was fresh 0.5.3 and now it is fresh 1.0.1...
anyone help with this APN issue? (i dont even know what APN stands for)
i actually am using the kernel for 55 FPS for Epson screens. would that be a factor either?
I'm and having the same issue with 3g.
Every thing worked fine with the first stock root of 1.32.651.1, PRI 1.40_003, PRL 60666.
With the second root of 1.47.651.1, PRI 1.34.651.1 now my 3g is unstable.
I don't know what FPS has to do with any of this, but I put radio radio-1.39.00.04.26 and it seems to improve a tiny bit, but I don't know how to update back to PRI 1.40_003.
Not happy
Also having problems in SE Michigan. Just started today after installation of Fresh 1.0.1 and the new radios. I also have a co-worker with and unrooted EVO and the latest OTA/Radio with the same problem.
I have a rooted EVO (DC 3.2.3). My wife has a stock EVO (fully updated).
Last night our phones started bouncing between roaming/sprint 3G, while we were sitting at home.
We started getting this error if we turned off Data Roam:
"Data Call Failure
Error Code 67: Registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again."
The error pops every time it tries to connect to Sprint's mobile network and fails.
We also live in Michigan. Perhaps they are doing provisioning?
Rebooting + update Profile/PRL seems to help, sometimes, but not permanently.
I am having the same issue with my 3g coverage.
When I go into my settings and turn mobile network on, it connects but then immediately says connection failed.
Does anyone have any suggestions as this is getting really annoying and frustrating.
Went to a Sprint store last night; apparently Michigan was having some significant network issues (the store reps said their phones kept getting disconnected as well), and that it was expected to be resolved by sometime today. After a reboot last night, I haven't had any more issues myself.

my issues is unstable 4g connection. it would just time out and not come back on until i turn on/off flight mode or just reboot.
manually switching to EDGE works just fine for me. idk my SGS2 is doing this.
vibrant: speeds and connection were fine until i cracked the screen
g1:used my g1 for 3 days before i purchased my SGS2. again, speeds and connection were fine
SGS2: 4g connection time out.
not even close to throttled and i mostly use my heavy data usage while at home.
TIP:
1) change your sim card
2)call tmobile (dial 611 on your phone)
- ask for technical support
- ask them to reset the network in your area.

The Weird Thing Is Stays On Edge But Gives Off Better Reception Bars, I Dunno If Some How The Modem Settings Is Backwards... Plus I Havent Even Used Half Of My Data
Edit: It Went Back On
Hi,
I've had this phone for close to a month now and I love it, but my main disappointment is that I'm hardly ever able to connect to 4G. What's frustrating is that the Clearwire map shows that 4G is available in Green Bay, WI. I also know other people in Green Bay with Sprint that are able to connect all the time.
These are the steps that I've tried so far:
- I tried the 4g tweaks where you do the whole changing from -89 to -100. No difference.
- I tried a Network Booster app, no difference.
- I've updated my PRL in the settings menu with no difference.
Is there anything else I can try? I am rooted and currently running Calk's GB ROM, so I don't know if calling Sprint would be the best idea. Just wondering if anyone else has tried other steps with any luck.
Thanks in advance for your help!
So I went ahead and used the Root with Restore by Binary to get superuser as soon as I got the phone home. Upon installing wifi tether I've found a little bit of an issue and I can't quite figure it out. When I set it up as an ad-hoc network I get my fast 4G speeds (4-8 megabits) but when I try to make it a wifi hotspot so the Playstation can see it, the speeds start crawling at .4 megabit. I figure it has to be something with the radios or something but I'm not quite sure because I don't have a lot of knowledge on that part of the phones. I guess I was just wondering if anyone else had any issues with this and if you solved it, I could use a helping hand. I have used the Auto, generic, generic JB/ICS wan0 and wan1 profiles. Thanks in advance for any input.
my setting's
my setting's are device profile generic ics/jb wlan0 with mms clamping check and routing fix check..had not problem on speed while playing online
yeah i switched it back and it still slows dramatically. which version are you using?
Hey guys I have my N900T running MIUI 4.8.8.
Everything runs great so far for an exception of two things. First their default search bar and second, my internet. Now I have my apns set to fast.T-Mobile.com but I am getting less than 1/8 the speed of internet I was getting before. I was always around 25mbps down and 12mbps up. Now is 2-3 up and 1-2 down.
All that said I am wondering if I can change the modem/radio. Maybe that's the issue or maybe the mode I have my network set to.
If you guys could give me some suggestions I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Bump
