Horrible 3G Connection - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I have a problem.
My old evo broke because loose USB port, I took it to sprint and they replaced my 002 version evo with a 3.70 004ver white evo
The problem is on my 002 evo my 3g speed test was 90% of the time above 1000kbps but now on my new 004 evo my kbps down is always 100-180kbps i duuno if its the phone or sprints service what do you guys think

I'm having the same exact problem here too. I broke my 002 hardware screen and got a new one with 003 hardware. I used to get approx. 1mb/s every single speed test on my old evo and now I only get 120 to 140 kb/s on 3g, same rom same kernel. 4g is awesome but the battery drain is ridiculous and is just not practical. Any solution? What could be the problem?

ive had the same problem forever. have yet to see a solution

Try flashing different radios.

That would seem like a good idea but I had updated the pri,wimax, and radio to the most latest out...wouldn't that make it better if anything? Our would a older radio work better. I think my old phone had the older baseband. Any other ideas? 3g is killing me...slowly, lol.

Different radios will cause different results for everyone. I updated a radio on my Hero back when I was still using it and I couldn't get more than a single bar on the phone and never had 3G. I ended up getting better signal with a radio that was like 6 months old. Hope that helps.

I've done this I'm not sure if its the phone or if Its the network. I've tried prl 1.9, 1.77, and 1.40 same with all the different prl's

I fixed the problem it seems i needed to update both the PRL AND NV to 1.77 and speed test isnt reading correctly maybe its an update problem but my 3g speed in web browsing has dramatically increased I got the PRL's from this thread

EVRC-B will not affect your data speeds. EVRC-B is a variable rate codec that is used to determine voice call quality. It does not pertain to mobile data usage.

EVO 4G - Revol Wireless Data Settings

Could anyone please tell me what the settings to get data working on my evo with revol wireless? Any help would be appreciated.
Had the phone flashed to revol and everything including data 3g worked then data stopped and I receive error 67 wrong username and password.
I was able to get into the settings using ##3282# and everything is set up for sprint PCS. I need the settings for Revol.
I also emailed Revol and they will only support data on phones they sold and will not give me the information for a flashed phone.
Thanks
who the hell is revol?
revol.com - Its a cell provider in Ohio Pensilvania Kentucky and indiana - $40.00 month unlimited text talk and web
Does anyone have any information - Any Help would be appreciated
Thanks
please dont tell me you bought an evo to use on a network that doesnt even support the evo, nor the phone support them?
its not ad easy as a couple of settings... you got work ahead of you.
i would start by reading the evo on metropcs threads, and the cricket threads and see if anything there will help you.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
how did you flash to revol...
3G on Revol
The hard part is getting the codes for the 3g revol data. Does ANYONE know how to do that?!?
Oh and how would you go about either changing an ESN (if its even possible) or putting the ESN into Revols database? They cant connect it without the ESN active in their system right?
Also codes for a Droid X i noticed were a little different (and I know this works), it may be different though for a Droid X2, however it's probably the same.
For 1x:
1. Connect Phone Via QPST and open Service Programming. (like above)
2. Once you have began Programming, click "Read From Phone". It will ask you for an SPC/MSL code. That code should now be six zeros (000000).
3. Click M.IP and set Mobile IP Behavior as MOB + Simp...
4. Select any profiles (there should be 1 or 2) listed under User Profiles, and click edit. Do the following for all profiles.
5. Make sure that "Profile enabled" is checked and enter in the following:
NAI: [email protected]
Tethered NAI: [email protected]
6. Change home address, primary HA, and secondary to read "255" in every available slot. Example: "Home address: 255.255.255.255"
7. On both HA Shared and AAA Shared Secret, make sure "Retain Last Value" is selected
8. Change MN-HA SPI to 12C and MN-AAA SPI to 2.
9. click ok
10. Do for all profiles
11. Set active user as 0.
12. Click PPP Config
13. The "Um" Button
14. Under user ID enter [email protected] as well as for tethered NAI. If a text box is black with red lines in it, click it and press ctrl D. Enter revol in the password box.
15.Click "AN" Button and repeat step 12.
16. Click "write to phone". Ignore any errors that occur.
17. Phone will reboot and it will be completed!
18. ENJOY!
And revol.epic could you try to explain the MMS settings a little more i get confused ill open the xml in dreamweaver or notepad and i see nothing about "production" in step 5? could you give me the stap by step for notepad and then just quote word for word whatever the document is? Thanks.
Please answer my first 2 questions if you know the answer!

also in the messaging app:
go to connection settings:

if you cant edit these in the app its self then you can use APN backup and restore(in the market for free) ben restore the apn and your all set.
Not sure if all this is necessary but my mms works perfectly and i have slightly better internet speeds.

to gain access to nvm folders create a folder in the root of your efs called opensesame save it then reboot phone and you should now have access to your nvm but be very very careful. Before you change any files in your efs make a backup of it first because you can cause real damage and brick your device.
Thanks I'll try it out soon. Don't worry u know my way around the nvm folder. I've flashed like 5 thunderbolts in my day ha.
I'll let you know if it works. Should there be space between the words like the thunderbolt?

2.In QSPT Service Programming under M.I.P tab set the Mobile IP behavior to 'Simple IP' This will allow your phone to connect to 3G when available or 1X when not in a 3G service area.
If there is 3G signal in your area after completing these 2 simple steps you should now have 3G.
If your still having trouble getting 3G and your sure theirs 3G in your area theres still hope, Try forcing 3G by setting your EVO into HDR Mode.

Hope this helps you guys!
Steps to manualy setting your EVO into HDR Mode:
*Warning: Manually forcing your phone into HDR Mode or Digital Mode my cause issues like your PRL going into 0000 IF your phone has been MEID repaired. You know who you are so do not attempt this if your HTC EVO was MEID repaired. Only try this if your are sure your HTC EVO was not MEID repaired.
Dial ##3424# (Sets your phone in Diag mode).
Connect your EVO to PC thourgh USB.
Open QPST.
Start Clients>Service Programming.
Read from phone.
Go to System tab.
Set your Preffered Mode to: HDR only
Write to Phone.
Reboot your phone and your HTC EVO should now be forced to connect to 3G!
The reason why I ask you guys to do this by QPST rather than by Advanced Settings is because most of the times you change it on Advanced Settings but it really doesn't change anything.
Although you guys can check to see if your connected to Evdo using Advanced Settings App. Open the app and go into Phone Information, take a look at your Network Type it should now say CDMA- EvDo rev. A!

Yes MetroPCS has 3G in some areas.

Cool, Thanks for posting, Not as quick as it should be.. I guess you have bad reception.. And strange that your speed test app isn't working.
I'm gonna start adding confirmed MetroPCS 3G locations by members in the main post.
Not sure what it is. Speed test app drops my connection to 1x but when browsing the internet or using wifi tether 3g stays. I was also expecting higher rates but guess it was my location. Still better than my previous peek of 25kbps

Been following this for a while now...
I've been following Bloody's thread for a while and I've seen pretty much all the posts in relation to Metro 3G.
I was wondering if you could either post a quick guide on how to flash the new PRL here, or just PM me a quick guide. I'd really appreciate it.
I've tried flashing the PRL using CDMA workshop, and also by downloading the new EPST.apk, and using dialer codes, but to no avail. I'll gladly post up my speeds once I can get it working. Thanks a lot!
My info is

If MetroDroid is AOSP, your best bet would be to do a nandroid, wipe, flash to any sense rom, run epst, dial ##775# and update PRL. Once you are done, roll back to MetroDroid.

Hey egzthunder1,
That's a really good suggestion, You reminded me of the PRL Project Rom. Its a Rom you flash exclusively to update your PRL.

Just updated my prl..i am also in Stockton...no 3g for me...I have a flashed htc evo (Metro PCS)...
Update: I got it working!
I did extensive search on this. Here is what worked for my flashed, rooted, HTC Evo, Sense, gingerbread....my speeds were at about 96kbps to 129kbps....after prl update 600kbps to 2mbps....
First, the dial key did not work when I dial ##775#- which translates to ##PRL#...someone said on different posts that either an HTC or Sprint update removed this function... so you have to install EPST.apk onto your phone to make it work...I included it. That is only if yours does not work. You also have to know your MSL number to unlock your phone...try all six 000000, if you don't know it, first. There is an app on the Marketplace, search MSL reader- hopefully that can tell you your number. Place the 3022 prl file onto your sd card...i included the 3022 prl. After installing EPST, dial ##775# and it will ask you to enter your password, then tab update prl...then the EPST should load up...it is buggy, you will see it takes a couple of seconds to load up...and if it asks you to foreclose or wait...make sure you press wait...then it will load up. Then it will ask you to find prl, if it's in your sd card, you will see the prl file on the bottom, tab on the right circle input then ok. Then it will take you to update PRL and you can see that the file 3022 is ready...then hit menu and click on the plus to commit modification...wait it is making changes..then the EPST will tell you to reset by pressing ok...you should see a pop up saying commit successfully...if it doesn't reset after 10 seconds...then you reset it manually...that is it...should work....

Epic 4G touch - text/talk/1Gb of web 55$ ,PAGEPLUS

Hey guys, I've had a motorolla droid X on pageplus with the 40$ plan.
It has talk/text/ and 20mb of web. But they just released a 55$ plan with talk text and 1gb of data. Pageplus is the verizon network.
I gave them my E4GT Hex code and they said the phone was eligible. ( its great that they take sprint phones )
For those of you who don't want to flash the samsung incognito esn, just to get on boost mobile this is a great substitute. Especially if, you prefer verizon towers and dont mind a cap on your data... I dont use that much (yet).
check it out >>
https://www.pagepluscellular.com/Online Store/Minutes/55 Plan Card.aspx
that's good news! I'm thinking about in buying a new samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g White model for sprint that I'm gonna flash to page plus, Do you think it will work on page plus? because the white is a new model so I'm not sure if it will work, and if it work do i have to flash it or all i need to do is give the esn or hex to pageplus and they will activate it? Please answerrrr me Thanksssssss.....
1GB is a joke, I'm at 3GB with 20 days left on billing cycle. How do people manage to have a E4GT without unlimited is crazy.

That's okay... I see you saying you used 3GB in 10 days, and think you are crazy.
I am on wifi at home, so no data use there. And at work, I'm on wifi, so no data use there. Even if I didn't have wifi, I don't see how I would use that much data at work, since there is a radio or PC for streaming music.
What do you do to use that much data?
I don't work behind a desk , so i have to use my phone as a pc.
Here's a pic of my usage.

zaping18 said:
I flashed using the Same instructions used for the HTC HERO
EVO to PagePlus
By KrInEn
Software needed
• CDMA workshop 3.5.5 or 2.7 (3.5.5 prefered)
• QPST 2.7 build 323
• HTC Sync
• Diag Drivers (may be included in HTC SYNC)
Marketplace Apps needed
• APN Backup & Restore
• Droid Wall (recommended for data restrictions, must have ROOT)
THIS TUTURAL IS ASSUMING THAT YOU ARE ALREADY BASIC FLASHED!
If you are NOT basic flashed, PM me and we can work something out with remotely flashing your phone and activating it on Page plus.
Ok, so first things first, install QPST, Workshop, and all drivers. Now you will need your SPC/MSL code. So;
STEP 1: SPC/MSL Code
Plug in your phone to your PC, when prompted choose “Just Charge”. Open the Dialer and dial ##3424#, this should bring up a black screen with a modem phone etc. You are now in DIAG mode, if your PC prompts please install the diag drivers at this point. Screen should look like this:
Ok, we are in diag mode, now go into your device manager and take note what COM port your phone is on.
Now open up CDMA workshop. For those of you using 3.5.5 this should be cake.
3.5.5 Users ONLY:
Connect to your phone and read it. I will not post any pictures because if you have 3.5.5 paid I am sure you know how to do this. Click on security and then in the SPC section click the drop down box to “HTC Method” and click read. Once it reads your 6 digit MSL click send, should say ‘Phone unlocked”. Click SPC and then “write 000000”, Tada you are done.
2.7 Users:
Ok same as above connect to your phone and read it. Click on Security then under SPC where it says “Default Method” change it to “Universal RAM Method”. Then click read, you should get a box like this;
Set it just as shown above, and then click Ok. Sit back this will take a while. You will then get a list of 30 – 40 possible SPC codes. Start pumping the 6 digit codes in here one by one until you get “phone unlocked”
When you see “phone unlocked” change the 6 digits to all 0’s and click SPC then Write. Congratulations SPC section DONE!
STEP 2: Programming
With your phone still connected and in DIAG mode. Go to Start > Programs > QPST > QPST Configuration. Should look something like this (minus all of the ports)
Click on “Add New Port”
Uncheck “Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only” you should now see the port your phone is on, double click it. Your phone should now show up on that first screen. Now click on “start clients” then “service programming”. You should be greeted by this;
Click OK and here we go.
Click “Read from Phone”
Click OK, once it is done reading using the arrows at the top right, scroll right until you see M.IP and PPP Config.
Click on M.IP first
Change Mobile IP Behavior to “Simple IP only” and click on Profile 2.
Make it look just like ^ but have your 10digit MDN in front of the “@” signs. HA Shared Secret and AAA Secret both click on Enter text string and type in “vzw” (without the quotes). Then click OK.
Click on PPP Config
Click on Um and change “user name” to “[email protected]” Change Tethered NAI to “[email protected]” Change password to “vzw”. Click on AN set user name to “[email protected]” and password to “vzw”.
You are done, click write to phone.
Step 3: MMS
This is done on the phone. This will be short and sweet, if you made it this far this will be cake.
-Download APN backup&restore from the marketplace.
- Open APN Backup
- Click BACKUP APN'S!
- Download this file http://www.megaupload.com/?d=46FKCYV0 <<<< LINK IS DEAD
- Mount phone as disk drive
- Copy file to apnbackup folder
- Unmount phone
- Turn on airplane mode
- Open APN backup
- Delete APN's
- Restore APN's (select EVO pageplus file)
- Turn off airplane mode
- Reboot
There you have it, full flashed. If 3G is spotty try flashing a NON EVDO PRL to the phone.

I have heard about it. Is it difficult to switch your carrier? I currently use Boost Mobile and had someone flash it for me. I would prefer to do the flash myself just to save money.

People say "flash" to avoid the "change ESN" term that seems to perk up trolls like live flesh attracts walkers. If you've got a normal Samsung Epic, I'd encourage you to check out this nearly comprehensive guide (things can be a little dicey in the "data" step, and you'll have to force 1xRTT on the phone end until somebody can figure out how to get EvDo working - also, I'd use a more up to date PRL if you can find one):

I've heard you can get 3G if you can pull the DMU
keys from a working verizon phone. I have a Droid D X sitting around
if anyone can confirm this please reply.
Right now I'm running 1X and I hate it. I may flash to boost if I can overcome the hassle. might be worth it to me.

Trust me - It's NOT. Boost Mobile sucks big time and PagePlus is a miracle in comparison, even with their 1xRTT data. I actually ended up switching back to Sprint's legendary $30 a month unlimited data plan and have never looked back to Boost's sickly plans or PagePlus's mediocre amounts of included data (and lack of roaming on Sprint). Whatever you do, do NOT go to Boost.

But you had to pay an outrageous $50 a month for a while to get that. If you're gonna pay a Sprint MVNO for unlimited data without roaming, at least try Virgin Mobile since their unlimited is $35 (still no roaming though) right off the bat.

Ur right I did have to pay 50 for six months but I still get good service.

The MVNO I use - KDDI Mobile - has a similar plan for single phone users:
500 "Anytime" minutes
Free nights & weekends
Unlimited text & web
$69.99 /mo
The added benefit is for those who call Japan - free landline calls in the "Anytime" minutes.
Phone is stock Sprint and behaves just like a Sprint phone, which is why I jumped on the E4GT. Our family plan + unlimited web for my phone is still only about $140 for 1000 minutes.... and it's unlikely that we'll exceed that again anytime soon.

That's even worse. I actually do the Sprint SERO thing and get everything you're talking about for $30 - plus free roaming. Outside of Sprint SERO, only Virgin Mobile or TMobile has a good affordable data plan (unfortunately, they operate only on inferior GSM devices and have worse coverage than Sprint).

Unstable HSPDA/3G connection

Hello,
I have a Sony Xperia Arc S with the following configuration:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The preferred network type is "WCDMA preferred
My HSPDA/3G is not working properly.
I'm not sure I have 3g cause it's always saying 'H'.
But that's not the problem. the speed is good enough for me.
The problem is that when i use my 'mobile internet'.
It most of the times load 1 or 2 pages en then it said "Verification with proxyserver failed" or just "page not found".
or sometimes a lot of missing images on webpages, same problem with another browser (I tried Dolphin), and a lot of disconnects with facebook.
Sometimes it happends with the Play Store (market) to.
On wifi there's no problem at all.
I had another rom before (Sorry, can't remember the name) but it was also Android 4.04 with Arknight Kernel and that gave me exactly the same problem.
I did a full system/data/cache/wipe.
Now I use JJhybrid Rom v3.2 With kernel: 2.6.32 9-Doomkernel #5.
I also tried the ping-test I found in in thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660627
But that gives no errors.
It's also NOT a sim-card problem.
I swapped sim cards with a friend and in his phone everything works just fine (not an Arc S)
With his sim-card in my phone. still the same problem.
I also went to my provider and they tried with their sim-card en checked the apn settings.
I also tried flashing different basebands .36 .64 .70 .72 and now on .73 but that makes no difference.
It looks like on 2G everything is working just fine (but it's so sloooow).
I also searched XDA en the internet but I cannot find someone with an SE Xperia Arc S to have this problem.
The weird thing about this, is that a collegue of me also has an Arc S with the same problem.
That arc s is using official SE 4.0.4 ROM (I don't know the exact build, cause the phone is not here).
These phones were bought in a different store with about 3-4 months between them.
Is there something I did wrong with flashing? or something else? Or is this probably a hardware problem?
For the rest, is the phone working great, no other problems at all, no signal loss or stuff.
This problem appeared suddenly, from 1 day to another.
I live in belgium and my carrier (provider) is 'mobistar'.
Thanks in advance!
with kind regards,
Jo
H stands for HSPA, High-Speed Packet Access.
HSPA is 3,5G which is faster version of 3G(UMTS).
HSPA consists of HSDPA and HSUPA, High-Speed Download/Upload Packet Access.
If you see H, then your mobile internet is working correctly.

That is the problem.
I removed proxy from APN settings, and it helped me with market issues (it wouldnt download sometimes). Im using Simobil Vodafone and since proxy was only used to access Vodafone Live!, its quite unnecessery.
to do that, go to Settings > Wireless & networks > more > Mobile networks > Acces Point Names (APNs)
click on the one you use for internet, write down the proxy (in case you need it again), and just remove it. Menu > save, and youre good to go.
If your SP is one of those who block editing APNs, create a new one, and copy everything except proxy.
Im not saying this is sure fix, but since you get proxy errors, removing it may help.
I presume everything is okay on wifi, right?

I presume everything is okay on wifi, right?

Thanks a lot! that just solved my problem.
I went multiple times to my carrier shop (mobistar) and they configured a couple of times.
I called about 5 times my customer service and they always told me to put an ip-adress bij PROXY.
I just called my customer service again, to check with them again, and now suddenly they say there have to be nothing in proxy.
Thank you so much for solving my problem!!
have a nice day

I removed proxy from APN settings, and it helped me with market issues (it wouldnt download sometimes). Im using Simobil Vodafone and since proxy was only used to access Vodafone Live!, its quite unnecessery.
to do that, go to Settings > Wireless & networks > more > Mobile networks > Acces Point Names (APNs)
click on the one you use for internet, write down the proxy (in case you need it again), and just remove it. Menu > save, and youre good to go.

Man, thank you! I was losing hope to find the cause for my poor 3g performance and it seems this fixed it.

No 3G only 1x - Cloned ESN Swap

Okay, I have a GS3. I swapped the ESN (Evo 4G) and now I can't get 3G
The only time I have 3G is on a stock Rom with the MD4 Modem but even than it feels like 1x.
I've tried all the radios, with no luck including the MD4 one. I've been trying to get it working the past two days now with no luck.
Someone PLEASE, please PLEASE help me?

do you have the MSL? Try going to ##data# and making sure everything is set up correctly and even doing a ##debug# and see whats going on there.Make sure you have your radio set to cdma/lte/evdo

I do have the MSL
I'm not exactly sure what I should be seeing in the Data menu, but I have gone in there a few times turning things on and off to try and get things working, otherwise I switch is back to default.
Okay,I can try to help for what I know,what was the purpose of you cloning the esn?

My uncle's names on our account and I payed my portion of the bill, he decided to quite halfway through the contract so I cloned it to get back on Sprint.
Any help you can give me is much appreciated. I can't stand this 1x :/
Does anyone think it could have anything to do with the donor phone?

Im not on sprint, but what does it show as the Mobile network type under Settings: About Device: Mobile network type?
I was messing with my phone and had changed the settings in ##DATA#
I was getting 1x only so I had to change the HDR/1x Selection under Data: Others. Hybrid works the best for me, but you could try changing to "LTE + CDMA + EVDO Mode. When I selected CDMA only then it only got 1x and not full EVDO/3g.
If that's not it did you have to enter the HA & AAA secret keys to get data to work?

Earlier OP said he is not sure what he should be doing is ##data# menu, maybe I can break it down
Do ##data# on dialer
click on edit
type in msl
enter in 6 digit MSL
**To Enter HDR/1x Selection Stated Above**
Select Other > Select HDR/1X Selection > Select Mode( Try LTE + CDMA + EvDO, if that doesnt work try hybrid or global mode)
Just browse the data menu but do not touch korean mode ever.
for HA and AAA Keys noted aboved its within the Data Profile in the menu of MSL,
let us know if this helps,going to be honest I am a noob but I can research these things as I have been doing so passively trying to fix my own problem
Thanks for the help guys. I was messing around the other day in the settings and somehow wiped my username and MSID. I got the username back, now I'm trying to get the MSID so i can get my phone back on Sprint. I"m an idiot sometimes... lol
As soon as I get back on Sprint I'll let you know how it works out!
Thanks again
To get msin you can just do phone activation through menu and if that doesn't work a sleight tech can provide a new one
