Data issues - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone having data issues? My data either doesnt work today or is EXTREMELY slow to respond. Wondering if its sprint or my phone.

Hey I had the exact same issue yesterday. Data would not work for nothing, but I just restarted my phone and it started to work

Yeah Ive restarted, installed a new rom, went to a backup. Nothings working right. Also all free apps that Ive uninstalled are staying in my downloads tab. Seems everything started after the 3.30 update.

I'm having an issue with all Google sites on my phone...on 3G and on 4G. I'm in the Chicago area. It was working ok for a bit early this morning, but seems to be completely down now.
Other sites work perfectly fine and as expected.

Same issue here NE Indiana...guessing a network problem. Restarting didn't solve data being slow. I just turned off background sync so that it doesn't kill my battery waiting on data.

Data issues here!!! Chicago - This blows

Hmm, seems like its this region. Im in Detroit. Sprints seriously getting on my nerves with the constant data issues Im getting here.

Way better than AT&T in my experience where data doesn't work half the day in Chicago and VZW where data is stuck on 1XRTT inside my office IMO. Hopefully they clear this up ASAP.

I came in here to say I'm having problems with google.
Every other site works fine, just not google.
I installed a new ROM and I can't even connect to google. I'm just going to wait it out and hopefully it resolves itself.

Another Chicagoan with Data Problems
Glad to hear that I'm not alone with data issues in Chicago. The problems appear to be intermittent and only on Google related sites/apps such as the Market and Gtalk.
Hope these problems clear up soon.

Same with me in Indianapolis, IN with google with trying to use market.

i too have been experiencing the same problem. But with mine if my 3g is on, it has a hard time trying to sync anything under gmail. If 4g is on it do the contacts and calender with no gmail. sorry for so much detail i was testing it cuz of all the things you guys were saying.
At first i was thinking a remote wipe with any roms with the new 3.30 update on it... just a thought.

I thought it was 3.30 at first, did a nandroid backup and same problems arise.
I'm in Miami, anyone else from my area have problems?

I wonder if its just sprint or google? So for now I just turn of sync. I hope this gets resolved soon!

I think this is on Google's end. I flashed a new ROM this morning, and was able to update everything except for Google services and FB with no issues.
THIS IS STARTING TO SUCK BIG TIME!

I was having the same problem I changed roms, rebooted pulled battery etc. No avail. I was running cm6.1 and realized that I didn't know how to update the profile so I flashed a sense rom updated profile and bam all was good again. Hope this helps someone.

Flash your first backup that should be a sense rom or a sense rom and update the prl and profile then flash back to the rom of you choice that you are using.
I am testing this right now myself to see if this solves the issue. I will report back as soon as my cm6 nightly is done flashing back.

That did not do it for me. I have the sync symbol on my top bar stuck there... I think I am going to diable sync till later on and hope google works it out.
Any one else?

I'm running Myn's stock rooted 3.29 Rom. The reason I see that the sync symbol stuck is because contacts, gmail, or calendar seem to be trying to update.
I tried calling sprint to see if there was an outage, but of course, they suggested a factory reset. Umm, no thank you.
This seems to be an intermittent Sprint network problem, because it works for a minute or two, then goes back to not working.
Does anyone who is NOT rooted have this same problem?

I just called the bastards at sprint and as always they want you to wipe the damn phone and start over. That must be the fix all for them. Screw what the customers have setup on their phone it doesn't matter let them just do it all again.
Waiting for contract to be up so I can switch to big red and get a Droid X.

WIFI Problems since MyFroyo RC4

Ever since going from MyFroyo RC4 to RC5 & RC6 (and even the Cyanogen RC01, I have had problems with my wifi.
I am posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems, and to find out what changed between RC4 and RC5.
I have no cell service at my house, so when I flash a new ROM, I need to leave the house and go to an area where I get service before I can connect to the Google Servers to set up my device. When on Wifi, I also have problems downloading Google items in the market (such as Google Search Bar) and can't even use Google.com to search for anything. It times out. I can, however, use other websites and download other items (once I've set up my device remotely).
If I am setting this up over Edge or 3G, there are never any problems.
If I re-flash back to MyFroyo RC4, I can use my wifi with no problem to do everything I need.
I really love the updates since RC4 - but am worried that I'll be left in the dust since all the builds since RC4 have had this issue for me. :-/
I'm in the same boat and experience the same WiFi issues.

I've never had a single Wifi issue, although I never really tested on RC1 too much. I'm currently running Eugene's newest CM6, have you tried that one yet?

supposed to be a cyanogenmod issue though i havent experienced it myself (i also have horrible service 1-2 bars edge max) using wifi everything loads up fast and everything downloads just fine! but if i were you i would try the nightlies they are supposed to have fixed the problem by now if im not mistaken
I've experienced a lot of this too. Marker downloads were pretty much not happening for me, no matter what - Wifi or Data. On data, it would download but never install. On Wifi no images in the market would load and no download would activate. I also couldn't use Google.com or sign into Gmail via the browser or other Google services. I did a lot of searching and heard it could be Google.
What I did to fix it... I did some nandroids, I did some wipes and updates and complete formats, etc. What I finally think I had was a problem in my packages.xml file where so many programs were mismatched due to Froyo's ability to use apps2fat32. I think at some point some nandroiding I had done,etc screwed up my package assignments and then I just fresh installed and DO NOT BACK DATA/SETTINGS UP WITH GOOGLE! haha, I honestly think that had a lot to do with it also...Go into your Privacy and turn auto restore off, turn backup data off, then reset your device with a wipe of it all and such, boot up and don't select backup with Google. I've had no more issues really.

I've actually tried the new nightly's and still have the same problems. I've also tried completely wiping it and starting from scratch- and made sure not to back up w/ GOOGLE servers- but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone on here can figure out what changed between MyFroyo RC4 and RC5 that could cause this - seems something is blocking the Google Synch. I've also experienced the problems mentioned above regarding the market items not downloading, no images, etc. Just seems weird that it worked completely fine before RC5, which came out around the same time as the Cyanogen 6 Slide RC1
From my personal experience I'd have to say that wifi is slightly bugged. Drops randomly and occassionally won't detect my network when other Android devices will (any encryption, which is for suckers anyway )
At least I know I'm not the only one w/ this problem. I couldn't find a cyanogen defect for this issue.
Same here. I have no wifi. My g1 connects just fine and my hd2 but on the slide its a no go. Ive tried everything but eventually just gave up. Im using Eugenes Ota update. Im not sure if its just the slide in general but my wifi doesn't work period. It'll connect but if i load up youtube or try the web I get a no connection error. Its very peculiar. Incredibly peculiar.
I am having the same issue. I noticed people talked about it with CM6 rc1 but not everyone was having the issue and the subject died off. Ive tried reloading, wiping everything, htcclay's new version but nothing seems to help. The wifi is just strange will work for a page or two than fail to load or loads half way. Also tried on several different networks. Does anyone know if the driver is the same in eugenes as in these later ones?
After wiping and keeping a good eye on everything, the issue I have with Wifi and the browser is that sometimes it just hangs about 75% page load and doesn't really change unless I leave the phone go for a bit and wait for it to load.
Downloaded Opera Mini (only browser I could find that doesn't use the native browser). With Opera, I've actually hadn't had any loading issues or anything weird like that happen. So many a possible partial-bypass is using another browser? It helped me, just thought I'd share.

Same bugginess happening here, too. Iffy, at best. Other than that and of course the non-necessary FN and CAPS light, this is the only issue, anymore, that I can see.

Rooted users - are you having problems signing in to Google services?

I'm referring to the inability to sign in to Google Talk or download Market apps when connected via the Sprint network, as described here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815345
To summarize... When connected using Sprint 3G, I often get these problems
- Can't sign in to Google Talk (I get the message "Cannot connect to server, will retry shortly"
- Can't download or update apps (I get stuck on "Starting Download...")
- Other internet features work OK
- Switching to Wifi solves the problem
no problems at all for me
why is this here ?? should be in
Q&A
and no im not
Yeah just started today though?

Not as much problems as you're having posting in the right section.
BOOOOOO-YAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
lol......j/k.....I couldn't help it. To answer your question: No, I haven't. All my rom/kernel/software info is in the sig. I've had an update/download hang on "starting download" before, but I'll just cancel the download and restart it and that usually fixes the hiccup. If not, it's nothing a quick reboot won't fix. Try clearing the data and cache from the market app.
P.S. If switching to WiFi solves the issue, it could be poor reception that is causing the said problems to happen. I get very poor 3G reception in the building I work in, and many things have problems working when I'm not on WiFi.
I have this problem as well. If you do find a solution, let us know! I've had this problem for a while now but could not pinpoint when it began. I know I didn't have this problem on 2.1 though. Definitely not due to weak signal (Chicago).

Were you running 2.1 on the same device?
And, I'm guessing you were rooted both with 2.1 and 2.2, right?

omg.. classic response. job well done sir. i am still laughing.
+1 on the advice too
uninstalling the market update usually solves the problem for good. Ive noticed it on hybrid fr83/91 roms as well
rooted with fresh and kingkernel 10 and have had apps hanging after downloading and wont install/update...
I had those problems for a while a couple days ago. They said it was a network problem. It resolved after about 8 hours.
No problems here. Using 135 nightly.

Go under applications and clear data for vending...sometimes files get crossed. Will fix market problem
I don't have anything called vending in applications
this is a known problem and has been for months....
usually if you uninstall the market updagte the problem goes away for good.
also try a non hybrid rom thats not based on fr83/91
fresh, evervolv, cm, evo nonsense work
I've had this exact problem for a while now. Its incredibly annoying. What usually works for me is stopping both talk and market then clearing the date and doing the same with the HTC_checkin service.
This usually lets me download the app but not always. I haven't tried uninstalling market updates, will that remove any features like the search prediction and such?

I was having the problem with Fresh too. I just installed the new stock deodexed 3.30.651.2 ROM, and I'm STILL experiencing the issue. Very annoying!
a friend and i are having the same problem except she never has a problem connecting to gchat. but when shes not signed in it she's not able to download apps from the market place.
me on the other hand there are times when i cant sign on gtalk at all, i'd either have to restart the phone or switch to wifi like the op said. oh and i'm also unable to download apps when i'm not signed in gchat.
this gets especially annoying when i'm in a middle of a conversation in gchat and i lose connection and cant log back on! and i hate using 3rd party messengers since there arent any good ones out! but trillian is starting to creep up on me.
oh i'm also rooted with fresh

Random Dropping mobile network connection...

I rooted my Evo a while back. No problems. After a few months I started getting these weird problems where I would get no 3g network at all. I was running Caulkins ROM and now MikFROYO ROM. Still the same problems, on both.
Flashed the bundle radio update pack (comb) from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
Still have this intermitten issue. Nothing regarding the internet or even calls would work. I can't make phone calls, get on the internet, facebook apps stop syncing everything. The bars on top become all empty. Not 1 bar at all.
I try restarting and even shutdown and turn the phone back on but none of this works... I even did my prl/profile etc. updates and still. The only way to get everything back up is to wait. After a while everything kicks back in and it's working again.
Can anyone help me with this? It's really frustrating and I've had this phone from release day. It only started this recently and it's intermittent and hard to pinpoint anything structured with why and when this would happen...
No one else has ever had this problem?

[Q] can't recieve or send out picture messages

Ok so the other day my pictures just stopped downloading all of a sudden, it was sometime after installing Google voice whether that was a coincidence or not i don't know, i have since uninstalled it since i didn't like it anyways so o well. But anyways, so after reading tons of topics on the problem. The answers i came across the most where,
it is sprints fault call them
have to be on wifi
cant be on wifi
to many messages
or go back to factory reset
and umm others i probably forgot.
All of these had varying degree of success for people suggesting them. However, Non but the factory reset worked for me. So while i am already back at the beginning i decided to update my phone to htc 3.70 or whatever it is. So after getting everything updated, i learned i could use clockwork to recover just the data part of my nand, which made me happy, but i figured it might mess up MMS again... which it did. The easy solution is to go back to factory ( or my nand before the restore of data) BUT i would really like to keep all my data. There is just so much to reset if i don't x-x. So i was wondering if anyone might know what causing the pictures not to download and if there is a way to fix it without having to lose all my data.
Oh yeah it not just downloading i can't send out picture messages either.
If all else fails i will just resort back to before the data restore and go about resetting everything the hard way just not looking forward to it.
Thanks for your time
and if i missed a thread somewhere that answers this sorry i was already banging my head against the wall at all the stuff i had already looked at.
Hmm no answer, lovely, guess it is back to the chalkboard for me.
i cant get mine working either. tried cm6 and fresh and also deleted/renamed telephony.db file and nothing.
bleh this is pissing me off

Yeah it is very frustrating.
well i tried it with a full wipe and then fresh install of Fresh. that didnt work for me either.
some things ive tried that didnt work:
re-provisioning using ##3282#
full wipe and new install of fresh and cm6.1.2
deleting the telephony.db
ugh
I've been having this same problem for about a week now. It started on my Moment and continues since I got the Evo on Monday.
It's aggravating the hell out of me....
call sprint. i called sprint today, to complain, about slow speeds in the area and there was a recorded message saying they are aware of a problem with the messaging system and are working on it. that was earlier thursday 'round 9.30am est.
Just confirms what I've thought, that's it's a Sprint network issue and not a device or apk issue...
It is a sprint network problem as of lately, that is why HipKat had problems after he switched.
Btw Charlie what rom are you using and did you call sprint?

mikmarket not working

OK.. another plea for help!
I flashed MikFroyo 4.5. It was easier than I thought!
I didn't flash a new Kernel though.. I'm sticking with the stock one (for now)
OK.. my new problem is that I can't get MikMarket to work right.
I've found some solutions that I've tried and nothing's really nailing it down for me.
I'm getting a network error from mikmarket, facebook, ymail, twitter, etc..
I am connected to my wifi network and I can't for the life of me find any answers.
Anybody have any ideas??
After more tinkering.. I turned OFF my wi-fi, and began downloading via the sprint airwaves... everything works.
I mean everything! So I'm downloading my apps while it's working then I'll turn on wi-fi after!
If this is a quirk.. I can live with it!
Been also downloading apps from market website..

Do you have any data working at all?! It sounds like you don't. Does the same thing happen if you connect to 3g or 4g, instead of the wifi network you're using? I'm not too familiar with Mik's roms, so I'm not sure if there are any known issues or fixes with it. I'd also update your profile and prl, if you haven't already, althouth that shouldn't affect anything when on wifi anyways, but it's still a good idea after flashing a new rom. Did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom? Try doing a battery pull?
My MikMarket isn't working either...sort of.
It changed the name of the app to "Market" and doesn't have the skin anymore. Just looks like the stock one. But it does function perfectly fine. I don't know what could have cause that though.
my mikmarket is not working either
sometime during dinner my phone gave me a error message. and both facebook and market stopped workin and deleted it. cant seem to get it up and running.
I started installing my apps via market.android.com
I had my wifi on and apps were getting pushed onto my evo. everything worked, and quickly.
I turned off the wifi, and forced 3G mode to do the transferring. It responded and quite fast too.
I tried mikmarket again and it started to work, I downloaded a few apps and then I started to get force closing.
Nothing seemed to want to work, so I put the phone back on the charger, went to bed. next morning.. mikmarket is gone, it's now Market.
Everything looked like it used to in Market.
And.. everything started to work. Market cooperated, wi-fi cooperates with market and internet, and so far everything seems to be meshing together.
I want to say it's because i let it synchronize overnite and everything meshed.
I did do the battery pull, pri/prl updating as well. I dunno if it helped or not.
But I like the MikFroyo and am so glad I took the plunge.. not like I didn't have a choice.. my 2.1 was starting to make life difficult!
I tried cyanogen 7 and it looked awesome! my problem with it was for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to get it sync with my gmail contacts.
If I would've been able to find it.. I might've stuck with it..

The market auto-updates. I've heard you can freeze or delete "market updater", but then you don't have whatever new features, fixes, or security enhancements they've pushed out in the new market. Maybe that's ok, maybe not. I'd rather have the latest than have the theme.
