[Q] 3G and Bluetooth issues.... - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
Not sure as to why but I am having problems connecting to 3G and also having bluetooth signal issues.
Regarding the 3g, it is showing up in the menu bar but when I try to go into the Market, it gives me a connection problem and wants me to keep retrying. Even if it does connect, it disconnects fairly quickly and gives me the same retry popup.
Regarding bluetooth, I was having no issues until recently. it is really choppy ever since I updated to Fresh's rom 3.2 and also went to a new HBOOT in order to flash my splash screen. People on the other side are having a fair amount of problems understanding me.
Is it possible that these 2 issues are related somehow and if so, how? Is there a way to fix as may something have happened when I changed the rom or HBOOT?
Thanks in advance for any help!

So, I have posted 3 threads in the last 5 days and got only 2 replies to them. Are people just unwilling to help nowadays or am I doing something wrong or is it because I don't post a lot that this is happening? I think I have been descriptive and courteous in my posts and would appreciate some help.
I see posts both right before mine and right after getting help and yet no one helps me. How about sharing the knowledge and suggestions PLEASE???

This may help any interested...my Mobile Network setting is constantly showing as "Turning On" but never completely turns on. Why is that and how do I fix it?
My 4g does completely turn on but do not know if it works as do not get in my local area.
Thanks for the help.

[Q] 3uk service status?

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone is experiencing signal difficulty today? thought it was my phone(which it still might be!!) but tried 3 different roms, 3 different radio, 3 different kernels, and i can get a wifi connection, i get a network connectiob briefly every now and then, and the signal bars turn green, but i cant make calls or send texts?
I'm on 3 UK and its all perfect

hmm, ok, thanks elliotg. maybe it is my phone then!
just out of interest, could you possibly post the contents of your apn file/s for me, as i have been using dGB rom, which doesnt include any apns, and that is where the problem first arose. i did find some listed online, but if you have a working one there, if youd be willing to let me know so i can check mine and change if neccasary?
Just an update to my last post, I am still getting signal occasionally but it does seem to be dropping off a lot. Also yes I'd be happy to share my apns if you could tell me how haha

ok, can we first clear up, are you having probs or not? your first answer was everything is perfect, then your 2nd says your having problems? haha. and the apn is in settings-wireless and networks - mobile networks - access point names. if you have anything in there, could you possibly write down only the items that have a value. if some say "not set" dont worry about typing them out. thanks in advance
ok, so, my current situation is this. im on redux 2.31.08.lite radio 5.17.05.08 and kernel 2.6.35.13-stable (base kernel that comes with rom). i updated the kernel to thalamas mod8 (latest) which made no difference to my signal problems, but did after about 30 minutes give me wifi error, couldnt even turn wifi on. so went back to the base kernel and wifi is working fine. i can get a connection when calling probably once every 30 attempts? it just shows the calling screen, then ends call and cuts off. if i turn airplane mode on, then back off, i have to wait about 30 seconds to get a signal again, pr even have to manually search, which can take ages, or not work at all. (error while searching). in my head, i think the radio isnt working (which sounds obvious lol) but ive tried 4 different radios and all have the same problems?
im struggling now, is it the phone, or is it 3Uk?
any help will be massively greatfully recieved

[Q] Wifi loses connectivity after period of inactivity

Hello,
I've searched around the Epic 4G Touch forums as best I could, but sadly I couldn't find anything that was exactly this problem (although I found some interesting articles about wifi sleep time but they don't seem to apply). I'm experiencing an annoying issue where I can connect Wifi just fine, but if the phone is left for a small period of time (~10 minutes), wifi appears as if it's still connected, however it cannot send/receive data. When this happens, the wifi status says it's "connected", but there is no data connection. The only way to to get the data back is to turn off wifi, wait for 3/4G connection to initialize, then turn Wifi back on to refresh it...then it's fine again until I set the phone down again.
I had this problem on stock EL29, so I rooted and flashed Phantom Blazer ROM (very cool ROM, but I'm still experiencing the same issue). After reading the threads on here about wifi sleep times (apparently they're backwards with ICS roms), I've experimented with every setting, yet I still have the same issue--Wifi is fine as long as I'm using the phone, I set it down, after about 10 minutes pick it back up, says it's still connected, but no data connection.
has anybody experienced this problem with this phone? I'm about to unroot my phone/go back to factory so I can take it in to a Sprint store, the problem is they (trying not to be offensive) don't seem to know very much about this device. I thought I'd ask the pros before I return it, get an iPhone, and have to eat my words about how cool Android is vs. iPhone in front of all my friends. I'm hoping there's a reliable ROM or app that can resolve this vs. having to just replace the device!
Thanks for your help!
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one with this problem:
edit: I can't post links to androidforums.com or anywhere else, but this same problem is all over the interwebs and nobody has a solution.
I'm sure it's not my router as my ASUS tablet/laptops/girlfriend's iPhone experiences no connectivity problems. I'm thinking this is a hardware problem with some of these devices. I will unroot/reset to factory tonight and let you know what happens.
What channel is your router on? And what type is it A/B/G/N?
This is s known TW ICS bug, most likely kernel related. Almost everyone is having this issue and there is no fix until Samsung decides to repair it. There are quite a few posts similar to this one. If you're using XDA's search function, it's not very good. Try using Google next time and search XDA that way.

Hey guys, thanks for the response. Just before I unrooted/reset to factory I tried one last solution--download an app called "Wifi Fixer". It has resolved a lot of these problems. It's not 100%, but after testing it for a day so far, I've only had to manually refresh the connection once or twice. It's a lot better, even liveable, and I won't be resetting to factory afterall, at least not until Samsung provides an update. So if anyone is having the same problem, try Wifi Fixer, hopefully it gives you a similar level of success...I'm not super happy about having to run another background process all the time, but it doesn't seem to affect battery, and the fix it provides is worth it to me.
Cheers!
Huh - a couple of things. Noticed this problem crept back in FF18 and didn't know why until I went back and checked the wpa_supplicant.conf that I'm using. The line ap_scan=2 was missing; after adding it back in the signal strength is back to full and stable.
I'll bump the thread but it appears the config changes here still hold after all:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569348
This should also avoid having the WiFi fixer there as you can specify the country in wpa_supplicant.conf manually.
Thanks for looking in to this! A couple questions from a noob like me though:
When you say the problem crept back in FF18 ... what does that mean? Is that something that exists in the "stock" version of the Epic 4G touch from Sprint?
The manual config file tweaks you're describing ... is that something I can perform myself?
Basically I'm wondering if it's "safe" to revert to stock in order to get consistent wifi signal, or if it's something I'm experiencing because of the ROM I'm using.
Thanks!

[Q] ICS 4.04 (basebad I927UCLJ4) WIFI issue?

**Baseband I927UCLJ3** sorry if that threw anyone off.
Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone has experienced any wifi connectivity issues on the new update.
I dont have any issues connecting to wifi, but for some reason, it wont stay connected for very long. It seems like after I go out of range, it simply wont connect to anything, and I have to manually connect to my network.
The problem is I have been blowing through my data plan, thinking I'm on wifi, since everywhere I go I am normally on wifi. But in actuality, because my phone hasnt been auto connecting to the networks, I have gone through half of my data plan in about a week.
This has only happened since the 2nd release of ICS. The first one work fine for me (expect the black light issue, which I didnt really care that much about).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I believe wifi has nothing to do with baseband. Probably there is something wrong with your phone and the new kernel wifi driver...
I'd try removing the access point and re-creating it, and playing with the advanced wifi settings.
Also, try rebooting the router/wifi access point.

Thanks for the info!!! I looked more closely into the settings and for some reason it was set to turn off wifi when sleeping.
I feel a little stupid, but I'm glad I got it sorted out.
I really appreciate the help.

[Q] CM nightlies - no cell data

Noob post incoming. I did my best to search around and didn't find much. Hate creating a new thread but was locked out from posting in CM dev thread for obvious reasons. Not too experienced in the world of root, so forgive my ignorance. This will hopefully be a quick question:
I've tried running the CM nightlies for the last two days on my T-Mobile M8, and the only big problem is a complete lack of cell data. It displays that I have bars, and while it cuts in and out often (which I expect), I can't get a drop of data to go through. Even at full bars.
I've seen a few people mention connection issues, but didn't see anyone saying anything about a complete lack of cell data. I'd normally just chalk it up to being a nightly build issue, but since I can't find it mentioned elsewhere, I'm wondering if maybe I'm just doing something wrong. If not, no worries, but I'd be stoked if I can run it as a daily at the moment.
Anyone have any advice on what I might be doing wrong, or how I can resolve it?
Edit:
Chrome itself displays error that "Wi-Fi and mobile data are turned off" when only wifi is turned off.
I just tested calling and SMS and both are working with Wi-Fi off. So obviously I'm maintaining some type of radio connection.
Thanks a ton in advance!
New nightly. Same problems.
Bump.
@thefunkyprimer
I just got your PM. Unfortunately I know nothing about T-Mobile and/or why you would be having the issues. What have you tried? Switching APNs? Switching from 3G to 4G? I also haven't run CM longer than five minutes in a couple years. So I'm not much use in terms of running it personally.
Try my ROM and see if data works for you. That's pretty much all I got for you at the moment. But if you did try my ROM and data works, that might be a starting point. Make sure to fully wipe your device prior to flashing.

Wifi problems AGAIN.

Hey everyone,
I recently made another topic about my WiFi going off. The problem fixed itself and now it has decided to come back, I'm starting to get to a point now where I just wanna throw it at a wall its so irritating I've installed MULTIPLE rom's on my phone and the problem is still persisting. In my room, I sleep near the WiFi so there is no problem it will work great but when I go to another room say for instance the kitchen it will cut off instantly the phone knows my WiFi is there but it will refuse to connect at all even when i forget Wifi I retype it in it will still happen. I've looked at different topics on google but none of them help me. Is there anything out there that can fully resolve this issue. Please.
Thank You.
