[Q] Evo 4G to Cricket Issues

The issue I'm having is having no sort of calling service on the Evo.
I rooted the phone, changed settings and even put a new rom on the phone. I'm using MikFroyo 4.5, by the way. I can get data, and from what I can tell it's 3G because I can use the browser, but when I try to call 611, and *228, I can't get anything. It just says that the network is busy.
I don't really know what I'm doing because I just started all of this today. Could someone give me some help? If all I need to do is search, just kindly give me some keywords and I"ll be on my way. Thank you very much!

sounds like you need an up to date prl as soon as i get one i'll post it... trying to flah my evo tonight to cricket too lol

Could that really be it? I feel like there might be something else I'm missing, but then again, I don't know anything about this kind of stuff!

Just an update, I've tried many different types of PRL files and it's still the same. I can't get anything. It just keeps saying the network is busy, try again later. I'm not sure what to do..

After lots of thinking and tinkering, I believe the problem is the PRL is not actually staying on after I write it on the phone. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

[Q] 1x problems

my evo when I flash custom roms will always give me 1x instead of 3g icon... not sure why is there a fix of any kind?

Your probably not clearing everything when you flash the rom. Make sure you wipe everything when flashing a new rom.

Try going into espt. (you need to be on a sense rom) Enter ##3282#. Go to edit mode (you'll need your MSL number). Select 'evdo', and make sure that the preferred mode is set to automatic. I don't remember if it automatically reboots your phone when you commit the changes, but if not, then reboot it manually after you change it. That may help ya out.

Good call, only reason I didn't think this was the reason because most roms don't have the icon change when you lose evdo.

Right, but now that a lot of the Sense roms are incorporating that mod (the mod that shows if your truly on 3g or 1xx), some people are realizing that they aren't getting 3g signal at all. Some may have been on 1x the entire time, but then when they switch to a rom that shows what you're actually connected to, they realtize they're on 1x. That trick works for some people, but not all. I think it'll help out though.

Same 1x problem no matter what i do
Ive had this problem for about 5 months now and it doesnt matter what ROM i switch to or use it the same and going in EPST doesnt fix the problem neither when doing what you just said to do with the epst but when i do change it from AUTOMATIC to HRC it goes back on 3G but the downfall to that is that phone calls and text dont come in to your phone until you make a phone call so can anyone help solve the issue why is this happening? I have a white evo hardwhere 0003 used all kind of roms even stock and same thing and know alot about phones and been messing with them since windows mobile 6.1 HTC TOUCH for sprint soo... And my girls evo is and stays on 3GrevA. her in not rooted and is stock tho while mines is stuck eternally 1xrtt.

you may have facked your radio at some point? I would tinker with different ones till you get the sweet spot.

This. There may not be anything really wrong at all. I mean, it sucks to drop to 1X, but the stock ROM was lying to you.
Now, if you ONLY see 1X all the time, yeah, that's a problem. But an occasional switch over to 1X (particularly if you're in a tough signal area, like the core of an office building) is normal.

I am on mikG Rom I have had 3g before I updated radios got the new stock rom but at home I use a airwave for signal wonder if that messes anything up?

Have you tried one of the new Sense 3 roms? The reason I ask...when you go into 'ABOUT PHONE' in settings these versions give you a network option that others do not. Check to see what it is telling you are receiving 1X or evdo. If it says 1X...you may have the same issue I had...borked 3G. Once I got it replaced..I loaded up the 3.0 again just to check what it now said..and you betcha...evdo was now showing and not 1Xrxx (or whatever it was).
I tried everything as well for about three weeks..you name it..ROMS/RADIOS/STOCK/CUSTOM/ESPT even took it back to fully stock and then rooted again (lost my .76Hboot in doing so, but phone didn't work right anyway... I was grabbing for straws. Luckily it was just under the first year and paid the 35 to have it replaced (no warranty plan). I travel and no matter where I went the speeds were terrible..ya..the 1X/3G/EVDO in the notifications bar is just for looks...but you KNOW when your stuck on 1X...frustrating.
This may not be the case....but

kinda of a simple fix... first of all stock sense roms always show 3g even if you dont have it... if on every rom you flash you keep getting the 1x AND you alreeady tried radios, nv etc upgrades and those dont work, then it is your PRL not PRI... 2 different things... to fix it check out a thread under deveopement ..Deck.... cause there is a fix there, or google prl and pri update evo on google.. you will need msl and be on sense and be able to use espt

[Q] Phone calls crashing friend's phone app

Okay, here's my weird thing.
I recently switched my Droid Incredible to Synergy's GingerSense phone mod. When I did that, any call I place to my roommate's cell phone crashes his phone app and kicks him off the 3G network for a few moments.
Well, I figured this was some weird ROM issue, and I changed ROMs to the HTC Desirable rom. That didn't help. I've tried reprogramming my phone by calling *228. None of this helps.
This does not happen to anyone else that I call. He's currently using Synergy's GingerSense mod for the HTC Thunderbolt. I am the only person whose calls crash his phone apk.
What the heck is doing this?

Id say its his rom not yours. I dont see how your rom calling him would make his phone crash, I dont think thats possible.

I agree, but it would be pretty bad ass if possible. I'd be calling everyone, then.

Hahaha that would be an interesting dynamic.

[Q] Losing 4G connection during calls, normal?

As the title says, starting a phone call causes my connection to drop from 4G to 3G. It is restored as soon as the call ends. I'm currently using the Liquidsmooth ROM, and since I can't remember whether stock did this as well I can't tell if it's an issue with the ROM or if that's just standard GS3 behavior.

I'm not sure if it is or not but it's better on your battery anyway and data really doesn't matter during calls.

It matters when I want to send a screenshot or photo to the person I'm talking to

Look at post 3625 in the Q&A thread for task's ROM...pretty good explanation about why you're seeing that issue.
sent from my SGS III on whatever ROM I might be running at the moment...

T999 can't receive picture messages

Running 10.2.1-d2tmo
Baseband is T999UVDLJC
SELinux is Permissive
I have no idea what is causing this issue, I'm not sure if my picture messages get sent...
How can I fix this or what ROM(s) would be better for me to have? I pretty much have no other issue that I can think of than this that I am having with this ROM.
Thank you for any and all help.

Is data enabled on your phone?

Yes, but I am usually connected to WiFi and I keep the 2g/edge data on usually. I have 3g/4g on if I'm using navigation.
I don't think I've had this problem before, but I only had this phone for a few months. Got it off eBay.

Not what to suggest. If it worked before and not now, maybe your carrier changed some settings?
Does this problem occur when running a stock ROM?
My sister-in-law had this problem. She doesn't have a data plan but does have sms and mms. Her carrier told her to enable data in order to get pictures.

I'm not sure, it's not something I noticed until recently.
Wow turn the WiFi off worked... That kinda sucks. Are there ways around this? My other phones didn't need me to do this, my other phones included g1, g2, and the s ii.
What's a good ROM to switch to that might not have this happening? Is there an app for this, radio, etc.?
Lastly where can I get the stock Roms that won't brick me lol?
Thank you for the help.

Sounds like a rom thing, you shouldn't have to disabled wifi for MMS. You can try another MMS app or switch to another rom or see if there is an update to it. No Roms will brick you in this section of the forum
