[Q] Internet hangs tried everything? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im not new to the forums here is my problem and i hope someone has some info on a fix. I usta get bad ass speeds on 3g surfing the web and youtube now my net has come to a halt and hangs also youtube. I had used miui for one day to test it didnt like it and i flashed myns warm point two and the net got worse then I tried koni elite 2 no luck even the cm7 no luck with the net speed. I did all the wipes and use amon recovery I have updated my prl along with radios and every thing that i can think of even Hboot no luck went all the way back to stock even got my msl and re activated my phone still no luck with the net even the market drags. It's not my service out here tho cause I checked out a friends evo that lives next door and his is blazing fast still along with everyone else that I know. So here i sit with sprint lovers rom latest update and lead speed 3g. Any one have this problem or a fix. This blows... Any help please.... Again I did do all the proper wipes and proper flashes I have no idea why the net is so sloppy and I don't have a virus cause I dont surf porn or click on ad's.

Have you tried doing the gps fix? Though it only works on sense roms.

Have you tried different radios and PRIs. Different combos work better for other people.

Well try to give it a day or two, you may not see it instantly; and if they did throttle, they wouldn't throttle you for that minimal usage.

The wireless wifi when connected to my home router and the net still like lead.

Well on AOSP, its been general that you do experience some data loss for some reason, they're trying to resolve the issue. But you aren't the only one. I don't know what else to do, but if the speeds are that bad, you may want to try a sense rom.

Do you think the memory could be fragged all to hell and that would cause things and if so how do you go about defraggin the bastage.

You can try unrooting and taking it to sprint and complain about the speeds and compare it to your dad's and he has excellent speed. But I would suppose that being the last resort.

I have never used a Virus rom so I can not help you with that one. But can tell you that I have run fresh several times both on my hero and my evo and have not had any problems that one. I am currently running myn's warm twopointtwo and it is also running great.
Like the other hundred "What rom should I use" posts
Try them out and find the one you like the best.
Thanks! Ill test it out, does it have 4G support?

3G PROBLEMS (donate for help if i have too)

So i have rooted my phone a while back, and been flashing new roms back and fourth , but not sure why recently after a couple of weeks, i have seen my 3g signal drop without me doing anything, on the same places were i usually get perfect 3g signal,
i updated the radios to recent ones, update the profile , PRL profile etc so see if these was the problem that 3g drops all the time,
so i have flash myths , cya mods roms, MIUI , and evry other sense roms like HD SACS and fresh evo etc and i even try AOSP roms to see if the sense roms was the problem, but with AOSP Roms it even drops more,
example of what i mean:
i will be using the internet were it takes forevr to load cuz 3g dont kick in,
than out of no where 3g works perfectly for like 5 to 10 mins,
than after a while i try to use any application that uses internet like facebook, pandora, youtube etc, the 3g starts acting up and doesnt kick in , does this evry other 10 mins which its annoying the crap out of me.
PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME I WILL EVEN DONATE $20 TO 30 BUCKS FOR YOUR TIME BY PAYPAL.
NOT SURE WHAT OTHER OPTIONS I HAVE, AND I REALLY DONT WANT TO REPLACE MY PHONE AND IM PRETTY SURE I CANT BRING IT TO SPRINT TO FIX IT CUZ ITS ROOTED, OR CAN I?
THANKS
Here is the best thing to try for starters.
Start completely fresh.
Download this zip

flash that zip from recovery and it will format everything without a doubt.
Then flash a rom like this

stock rooted ruu - simple and no modifications.
If you are still having issues after this, then it is possible that you are having hardware issues.
It wouldn't hurt to try updating your radios as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 - the combo one at the top should get them all.
+1 those are the best suggestions than I think can be given to help with your situation. I had the same problem on my hwd 003 evo sent it in and got a hwd 004 speeds were better I think it was a hwd problem cause I couldn't find a fix.

i just try this like 2 hours ago, its going fine for now but still dropping the 3g couple of times, i just want to see how it goes by the end of the day...because this phone that i have its a replacement cuz my original evo i lost it, hopefully i didnt get a evo that has a hardware issue even though it was working fine for the first months, till now.
thanks again for ur help and ill keep u updated of how it goes and test it for a couple of days.
so i use it over the weekend, and after a day it starting acting up again, i was happy when it work almost for a full day and than it starting acting up where 3g wasnt kicking in, thanks for ur advise and i guess i have to replace this evo.
you might wanna try going to a Sprint store with service center, maybe they can figure it out there, as you've basically tried everything one can do at home to try and fix it, and are still having problems.

Here's one to accompany that. It may not even be your phone. Call *2 and ask if they are having network issues in your area. Mine was doing the same thing after a storm (we had tornaders...yes, tornaders...live with it). It was back up withing 48 hours, then again, I reported the issue.
I'm sure they have some pretty good monitoring systems in place; however, if the guys behind the NOC are anything like the guys here at my work...well I won't say anything, but you can piece together the picture.

nobody else i know have 3g issues, because i have ask my friends with evo's and my roommate to let me see there evo and check if the sprint network just acting up, but is not cuz there phone is running good. but it seems like i start getting normal 3g signal when i first flash a rom, than after a couple of hours or a day it start acting up, its annoying as hell cuz i could be in the middle of doing something during the day and when i need my phone to work with 3g, it start acting up,
thanks though for the suggestion, not sure if rooting the phone would effect the signal problem,

Just because you see it drop to 1x doesn't mean anything. That means that sense doesn't want you to know about it. so there is no icon for 1x since aosp is different and doesn't lie it tells you the truth. I thought things like this from time to time until I did this. Flashed stock. Speedtest... sat in the same spot flashed CM, speedtest. Both were about the same.. some tests were faster on CM then sense and some were faster on sense then CM. I get my email... and my market downloads never fail... So I can't really complain.

Increase Data Speeds

Ok so I have seen threads about data speeds and read all of them some time past. My question is. Is there any way to increase your data speeds? Our is that completely controlled by sprint thru the towers? I read somewhere you can delete the throttle file but out only lasts a short time and I never noticed a difference.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Long story short its basically controlled by sprint, or more precisely the technology that sprint uses. I'm not sure if sprint actually controls the speed at which a phone can download, ie throttling, or just lets the towers give to each user what its demanding. You can try to flash different radios and see which one works best for you in your area, or you can look around for different PRL files.
I haven't heard anything about a throttling file, so im no help there. But the actual technology your using (CDMA, Wimax, 1x, etc), as well as how good your connection to the tower is, are the main things that are going to determine how fast your connection is.
Thanks.. thats what I figured.. Just checking to see if anybody had any tricks.. After further searching my data speeds are actually as fast or faster than most. Guess I just wanted more. I have tried different radios and prl not much difference for me thou

Have you tried the Data Profile reset? It may help a bit, as far as the throttling file, it's made no difference at all on my phone.

[Q] EVO reboot randomly

I've searched for answers high and low and I have learned that my reboot issue might be hardware related, but I'd post a Q&A in case someone has a better idea.
My EVO reboots randomly. It mostly happens when I'm watching a netflix mirrored to my TV. It rarely happens when my phone screen is off (ex. WIFI hotspot). It happens on AOSP and Sense roms (CM7, Fresh, MIUI, and stock deodexed). It happens with different kernels and radios. The weirdest part is that it didn't start until about June 1st. About one year after a got it on opening day. I first noticed it while playing Plants Vs zombies. I talked to sprint and the tech guy was willing to work with me and has ordered me a replacement. I don't want to go get it because I will lose root.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
yes I've tried wiping all of the memory.

How about running a RUU and returning to complete stock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
And lose root? I could go to sprint and get my replacement if I wanted that. Or would it take me to 2.2?

Can you post a logcat and the last_kmsg after it happens again
And just a thought, maybe lowering the max cpu clock speed just a little, see if that helps at all.

If you run the 3.70 RUU (not the top two) you will go back to 2.2 and can reroot.
However, if you go back to stock and it still does it you're probably out of luck and will need a replacement.

Take this file and rename it PC36IMG.zip put it on the root of your SDCARD and boot into the bootloader and accept the update.
If that doesn't work you may want to try posting a logcat per kyouko's request.

Random Restarts
I received a replacement EVO back in June unfortunately. Ever since I have had this EVO I get those random reboots when running GPS, certain apps, and listening to streaming music. I have called Sprint on this MULTIPLE times and have gotten nowhere. They had me take it to a Brick and Mortar and the put it on a test bench and it passed with flying colors. 20 minutes later it rebooted. Took it back and they wanted to run the test on it again. Screw that. It will still pass. Called a Tech, they thought I had apps force closing, not reboots, even after I said I was having my phone crash and restart. The Tech had me do a data profile reset, ##3282# Edit Mode, Enter MSL, Hit menu, choose Reset Data Profile. It wipes something and then does a hands free activation. Still had issues. Today the Tech has me do the same thing and when that was done had me do a complete Factory Restore. Once I was able to run GPS and music at the same time. She was so excited that she had miraculously fixed me phone. 20 minutes later it rebooted. I havent called Sprint back but I am pissed. I didnt have these problems with my day one EVO, but when I get this refurbished piece of crap, it has more problems in the first 2 months that I had with my day one EVO for the first 350 days. Has anyone else asked Sprint why they do not keep tabs on ESN's and why they were returned. That would be good information to have....my 2 cents. To the OP, what did you say to the Tech to get a new phone? I have had no luck. Thanks.
I had luck getting a new phone because the tech I talked to at sprint owns a rooted evo and was impressed at why I thought it was a hardware issue. He knew a lot more than everyone else and he just asked for a new evo for me even though I don't have insurance and it's past warranty. I got lucky to be honest, but everywhere I've seen says its a hardware issue and it doesn't matter what you change, it still happens.
Goods luck with your refurb, I'm going to try one last thing before I trade in my evo for a replacement. I'm going to un root it to see if it can fix anything.

I ran the RUU and am on stock 3.70 and it reboot before I could even finish my market downloads.

Rooted Kernels and Loss of Service

We're trying to determine the "root" (pun intended) of the problem so if you wanna come in here and start a fight go find a local bar to do so. We need to try and locate the source of the problem so either post something useful or walk away.
There seems to be some confusion and I dont know if its being ignored or what but theres an issue with these kernels that needs to be looked into further before new ones continue to be released.
Theres an obvious problem for a good amount of people and everytime I look I see comments that there isnt a problem. So heres everything I could quickly find regarding it.
Now Im not trying to be a **** about this but I dont get how the issue is unheard of when its one of the biggest topics in this section. And so we're clear, this is happening in ALL kernels. Unfortunately its been more profound in Zedos because it seems more people went with his method.
All Im asking is before more and more kernels are released that someone at least acknowledge the problem and see if it can be addressed before more and more people root and start complaining because they were told there was no LO.S. bug

Rebooted phone and everything came back on. It's possible that the circle was there before I played the game of solitaire but I didn't notice until right after I quit playing.
Hopefully it gets straightened out soon. At least rebooting fixes the problem, I can handle rebooting for a little while if needed.

I'm giving this one a try because with the zedomax kernel I kept losing 3G and CDMA calling and not even noticing it unless someone told me they'd been trying to reach me for hours. A quick reboot would solve the issue but then it would happen again.
I'll report back and let you guys know if this one is giving me the same issue.

Telling you right now someone is going to come in here and go "this belongs in General" then a mod will move your thread and deduct 5 points from something, not sure...but just a heads up
I also see a lot of people having issues, but I'm now on day 2 of flashing Zedo V1 and have yet to experience any of these issues. Not sure what I did different, but everything just works... The only thing I did was after rooting was getting my MSL from Sprint and erased the proxy servers in the ##3282 menu.
EDIT: Ok, I just lost service 1 1/2 day after rooting... Bug finally hit me..
I dont mind it being moved and I have no clue what the deduction in "points" does but I'll deal with it.
Now Im getting much better battery but I know people are still losing service on the new OC kernel. My roommate happens to be on e the unlucky ones.
Man...thanks for posting this. Hopefully the mod doesn't close this thread. This definitely is a concern and a serious matter. I don't care if these kernels are, "use at your own risk" these kernels should've been listed as betas, and/or the bugs should've been listed and further testing should have been. If those steps were taken, I bet a lot of people would've held back from flashing them. I know I would have.

One thing that got to me was this morning I woke up, hoping to see a stock kernel and/or a way to return to stock. And instead, I see a new overclockable kernel. To me that's just not right. I think that you have to prioritize. That's like putting out a rom that has all data broke. Then instead of fixing it, you put out another rom...while disregarding the issues with the first rom. At least acknowledge the issue and let everyone know it's been worked on....don't just blow it off.
I know some of the devs over in the Evo forums was good about this....if something went haywire with one of their roms or mods...they were all on top of it to get the issue fixed and they also communicated with posting updates on the matter.
Like I said, hopefully the mods don't close this.
I'm definately gonna follow this thread...thanks Wingzfan
i rooted yesterday using zedomax method, did the OC kernel last night.. havent had any issues so far ..

Bubby does have the stock kernel pulled. I was testing it till 1:30 in the morning but he's gotta recompile it. It was bootlooping so today thats his first order of business.
As for the kernels, I flashed it by choice. I dont blame the devs for ANYTHING, Im just saying acknowledge theres a bug and lets see how to resolve it.
I've been reading through the rooted kernel threads as well prior to jumping on the root wagon and have seen several people mention that they are not rooted and have experienced the loss of service so it seems that the issue may not be exclusive to the rooted kernels...possibly a Samsung bug?
Very possible which is why im hoping we can get an idea of how man people are rooted vs non rooted having it. Now the only thing is I cant find any complaints online about nonrooted phones doing it except a few here and youd think it'd be widely discussed

Yeah...I read those too. However, I never lost any service at home with any android phone I've owned..Nexus S 4g, all Evo's, Epics etc. Then today I wake up and I have no service....maybe it is a samsung bug, but I'd rather return to stock myself to see if the issue was still there.
Stocks on its way i promise. Probly tonight actually. Bubby was really close last night. Once we get that Id be curious to see what happens.

This is an issue that started with mine also yesterday. But not only did I lose data but gps also. A reboot fixed it but I would like to know whats going on. I just came from the evo 3d and there was an issue that had to do with the prl so I am going to give that a shot with the 11115 prl that fixed the evo. Will post back with the results later today.
On V5, Ive only had the loss of data once in about 12 hours, versus about 3 times on Zedo V1.
I also did http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17703908&postcount=11 for the hell of it to see if that helped (even though I got it at a sprint store)
For the record:
A) People have reported this issue even on the stock kernel. It is not clear where the cause is.
B) For kicks (and because it cannot hurt) I did the whole profile/PRL update thing that someone suggested. Be it luck or real benefit, I have no had the issue since.

I would think it would be widely discussed as well so that seems odd. I'm waiting to see what evolves or at least for stock kernel (an undo) before flashing a rooted one. I don't have TEP.
It's still a bit early for the issue to be too widely discussed.

Nice. I was told by a helpful Sprint cust. serv. rep. a while back that you should update your PRL & Profile when you go into a new area (tavel, move, or even long commute to work) regardless of which phone you have. I would think unboxing your phone would qualify as well. It sure couldn't hurt.

Good point. Many people would not likely research on the web/forums, instead they'd likely address the issue directly with Sprint.

Ever owned a Samsung phone before?
This is my 3rd one and I swore after the last one Id never buy a Samsung phone again but I got sucked back in. Samsung is notorious for shipping phones with all kinds of bugs that should be considered showstoppers then pushing out fixes months later.
It would not surprise me at all if that was the case here. I am one of the ones having this issue and I am not rooted. Ive lost data several times after hanging up a call. The data never restores and I have to toggle 3G to get it come back.
I dont think this is a kernel issue. I think its something to do with the rest of the OS, either that or the kernel is a different problem thats just acting the same way.
Ok thats what i was hoping to find is nonrooted and rooted people who are having the issue. Now on my moment this issue was huge so i went to htc and maybe thats the case again. Maybe sammy dropped the ball again. Question is what can be done about it.
