Why does my 3g keep dropping out? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am in a stationary place tethering but my 3g connections keeps dropping out, what is the deal?

It could just be a bad signal. Try updating your PRL from the software settings under about phone. Also, if it continues in that same location you may want to call sprint to notify them that you have a weak signal and it keeps dropping data. They don't know there is problem until you speak up.
Hopefully that's the extent of the issue and not something more. You may also want to try a different rom if you continue to experience problems.

TILIT2 WiFi signal strength

I am using TILT2. Currently it is HARDSPL and enjoying latest Energy ROM.
My question not related to ROM, as it happened started from official, but I can not find any other person complaining for it.
Signal strength for WiFi is really low. Even if I located close to router it show 50%. Max. If I open device and take my hands away it may go max to 60%
I use Fuze, original tilt, other phones before and never have this problem. I am still in first 30day usage and can return that phone and get other one, if this one defected. Just want to know if that is problem with my phone, or it general problem people just silent about? Please let me know how well your phone receive WiFi signal compare to your prior phones, devices.
BTW I did change WiFi setting to max performance, so it not power setting issue.
i have wifi problems too. doesn't work well unless you're standing next to the damn router
Same here. Signal blows something hard. WPA doesn't connect for me either....
Same here on VZW. Though i am able to connect to my wpa2 network after installing the Touch Pro2 Cleanup by GoodThings2Life
Similar problems here. My wifi and bluetooth signal sucks. Have to hold phone up to computer to get signal for bluetooth and to get wifi signal I have to hold the phone close to router and still do not get full bars.

[Q] 4G keeps changing IP addresses

I have had several instances where I get dropped because my IP changed. I thought it could be a signal problem so used open signal maps to find my tower but also noticed that there may be a more powerful antenna behind the one that I normally use. This signal took over until I made it home.
So I am thinking that if I could keep only 1 tower or install a proxy that I might be able to fix this problem. I still need more testing and/or other ideas to make this testing more conclusive. I can say that everytime I have a problem the network connection and speeds look good.
Anybody else or ideas?

[Q] FB17 Problems with searching for signal and wifi.

I'm Having a problem with my signal strength every where I go and WIFI as well. signal only peaks when I'm near towers and starts dropping as I get further away and I can't maintain data connection for nothing in the world.WIFI I run WIFI at home because im always on my phone. The moment I leave my house and come back it doesn't pick up the signal anymore I have to reset my phone so it can work. Is anybody having these problems and what is it caused by. Thanks in advance.

Signal is disconnecting.

Yeah man, It's usually only for certain ROMS
Do you guys mean to say that your lose complete wireless service (cellular signal) or do you mean you're losing 3G and then it comes back? Cause recently I've started experiencing my 3G network conn. goes bye bye, then I have to restart or often just disable mobile network and re-enable it and it comes back.. Regardless, this is a new symptom and fairly recent and it's begun to get on my nerves.
I'm saying the signal blanks out and fully DC'd then comes back.

[Q] Signal Issue?

So I've had my VZW Galaxy Nexus since launch, and have absolutely loved it. It is by far the best phone I've ever had, and I've had zero problems with it... except for recently.
For the past few months I've had a problem where my signal bars get greyed out and I can't access anything, even when it shows I have full signal. This will happen on 3g, 4g, and wifi, and sometimes toggling airplane mode on and off will fix it, but most of the time I have to just wait for the connection to come back on it's own.
I've read about signal issues plaguing the Nexus, but I always thought it was just where it showed no signal at all. Am I experiencing the issue, or is it something else entirely? And is there anything I can do to try and fix it other than getting a refurbished phone? I have tried every radio combination out there, and have settled on the latest radios (l515.09 V.FF02 / l515.FG02) and the issue has persisted throughout.
TLR - Phone will often grey out bars and I can't connect to anything. Happens in 3g, 4g, and wifi. Is this the signal issue people have been talking about or something different?

Try getting a new Sim card. I've read on other Gnexus forums. That's good fix for the gray bar issues. other solution take out the Sim card and let it sit for a minute or 2 then pop it back in. Lastly a factory reset.

a signal drop is when your device's antenna looses conection to the nearest cell (tower, mobile transmission equipment) totally.
a data drop is what you're experiencing.
this is on stock rom, correct?

It has happened on stock rom. Right now I'm on AOKP JB Build 4 with the 20120726 gapps from goo.im/gapps.
