[Q] went from amon RA to clockwork recovey

I recently got a new EVO as my last one over heated and craped out. long story short i got a new phone and rooted it with this method
[ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF - There Will Be Root - Upd. 01.04.11
then i flashed the new fresh to start off with. then i decided i wanted to try something new so i went with AVAFROYO and loved it. then i decided to try cynogen 6.1 and read the easiest way was to just use the rom manager from android market somewhere so i used it. it wanted to me change from amon RA to clockwork so i let it. flashed CM 6.1 decided it was crap compared to AVA and flashed AVA back. then i sat around for a day enjoying that my phone wasnt ringing off hook all day as usual. but thats where the problem is. i cant recieve incoming call/texts/or voice mails. well i get the voice mails and texts when i make a call out. ive tried factory rest, nand back ups changing roms, udpating all my raidos and such. and the 3g just wont stay connected or my voice data.
ive exhausted all my options i think.. so theres what i did and what ive tried i figured id try everything else i could think of before i posted here for help. but here i am no closer to recieving calls.. so please HELP!
and also im almost to the point of unrooting and restoring stock RUUs to see if that would fix it. any suggestions would be greatly appriciated thanks

Did you nand like it said to? if you did the backup just revert back to that.. If not maybe try reflashing the radios?
Oh and also on the RUU yeah man I did that because I was having issues with the 4g. Its not that bad the 2nd time around ( rooting it again that is ) so just roll with it brah

I tried nandbackup didn't help at all. I get 3g and voice data fine when I'm making a call but when I'm not on the phone they both gray out and I don't receive incoming calls or texts.. just unroot and restore stock and take it back and get another new phone. It's only been like a week and a half..

Hmm really duno man. Ive seen this somewhere else on the forum. But im unsure where I seen it..

Have you tried loading a rooted stock rom yet?

That's my next step. Should I just do the latest rooted ota?

So I am able to send and receive phone calls and texts now.
Here's what I did. I went to the ##data and my evdo was set at hdr. I changed it to automatic rebooted and had a friend call and text me. Received both. Changed back and repeated. Didst receive. Changed to digital only and retried. Received both. Downloaded speedtest.net to test 3g speeds and a little disappointed with only 101kb avg down and 128 avg up. But hey least I can receive phone calls and texts now.
Anyone have any clues as to why the hdr was doing that?

well i guess HDR only always blocks incoming calls and texts from what ive pulled up on google. but i dont understand how my phone switched to HDR only, i have it on cdma HDR only now.. whats the default setting that the phone comes with anyone know?

Automatic I would think. That allows the phone to switch from 3g to 1x for voice and texts

HDR is what you want it on, that is true 3G. While you are in there go to the Data Profile section and under menu select Restore. When it comes back up let it update everything except Firmware.
That will re-activate your phone and should fix it.

restored my profile and it set evdo to automatic, i let it update all but firmware restarted activated phone. it worked on auto i changed it to HRD only and tested. Wasnt able to recieve calls or texts again changed it back to CDMA HDR only and it works. as long as i can recieve phone calls im ok with not having complete 3g service. i live in a 4g area and only really use my phone to tether for internet and as long as i have 4g and can recieve incomming calls and texts im fine. but still a bit confused as to why this happened.
and DDTM is diasbled

[Q] Missing Texts and/or Incorrect datestamps

Alright so I have a Samsung Epic running the ACS 1.1.0 rom with ext4 w/ journaling enabled, EC05 Modem with PRL version at 60676.
Problem is that for a while now I've noticed that texts would randomly show the wrong date stamp ie usually ahead a few hours OR I might not just get them at all. I've looked around seen that you should update your PRL and profile to fix that problem, but I've done so and it hasn't seemed to resolve itself. I was running the phone on a PRL 60675 before and didn't see a change. I did run the update of the profile but it doesn't give any sort of success message or indicate anything. Sometimes it'll give a network connection failed or similar type message.
Any ideas at to what this could be. I'm tempted to flash the phone back to stock and run with that, but I really like the ACS rom and have no other ideas what I can do.

When im roaming, and i get a text message, the timestamp is always 6 hours ahead. Its a roaming problem, and im stock unrooted.
[sig]Typed by restless thumbs, that are too tired to help hold my bacon sammiches[sig]

pretty sure this is a tower issue and not a phone issue. that used to happen to me on AT&T, and it was always roaming.

Yeah at this point it seems to be an issue with not the rom. I just flashed to the newest stock gingerbread release from ACS and I just got a text message timestamped 4 hours in the future ;|
Best option is to what? Call sprint? Is it more of an issue with reception in my area or something like that? I'm in the middle of the DFW and I fail to see how I can be roaming unless I'm 4 floors under a parking garage.

I would definitely let sprint know. Sounds like there may be a cell site with a bad timezone setting.

[Q] No 4G on evo running Fresh

I have had this phone since the day it came out I was @ Radio shack @ 8 Am
I have had a good run with this phone and it still amazes me.
The only problem I have is that I have never had 4G The last rom I saw 4g on was cm7 and it still wouldnt stay on. I thought maybe it was my location the fact that I was rooted etc Then I got my wife one and she has a strong signal all day 4Mb+ speeds so I really am wondering if its just a hardware issue or something else.
I am running the latest Fresh4.1.1.0
Anybody know or have any experience with this?

maybe
I'm no expert but I used fresh 4.1 to update my prl for cm7... I had no 4g on fresh but once I did all the required steps for cm7 4g works fine along with everything else except the annoying voicemail notification.. anyway if all else fails... unroot and flash stock... get a replacement from sprint...

I don't have any problems connecting to 4G running Fresh. Have you checked your wimax keys? I think there's a free app to do this...

Get wimax key checker from the market and make sure you didn't lose your rsa keys if you have them I would try to update your prl and profile.

Calling ability "freezes", sometimes mid-call, requires reboot in order to call again

Calling ability "freezes", sometimes mid-call, requires reboot in order to call again
Anybody else having this annoying problem with their Epic 4G touch? Because I'm at my wit's end here.
My call signal will frequently "lock up".
The first time this happened I was trying to call someone, the phone wouldn't ring, so I tried to end the call. The phone refused to cancel the call, no matter how much I pressed "end", even in the status bar. Restarting the phone allowed me to call the person.
2nd time I was in mid phone call with someone, and then all of a sudden... silence. I thought it was just a normal dropped call, but then I noticed that I was still "on-call" with the individual. Attempting to end the call to call again once again led to it locking up. Restarting the phone corrected it.
Now I've found out that nobody was able to call me this entire weekend, and when I realized this, I went to try to call someone... same problem. Had to restart it agian.
Nothing else outside of rooting has been done to the phone. I have not gone beyond anything asides from installing root explorer (and have not tinkered with the guts of the phone at all).
I'm getting sick of it, is the phone busted? I have 7 days left before I can return it.
Another interesting thing is that my data works fine on it. 4G especially.
Appreciate any help with this problem, thanks!

This happens to me when I get the LOS issue. Both the call menu freeze and LOS seem related. I reboot to fix it.
Btw, loss of signal is a known issue and is supposed to be fixed in a maintenance release. No ETA or news as of yet.

LOS? Do you mean Loss of Signal or is this something else? Is it a well known bug in the Epic 4g touch?
Data and 4G seems to work just fine though.

Yeah, LOS = Loss of Signal.
Our phones don't use 4G to make calls. That's why if you are connected via 4G or WiFi, you will still have data connection. If you were on 3G only, calls, 3G data or texts would not work during the LOS issue.
It seems as though more and more people are coming out saying they are having the same issue as well as other issues. I hope they come out with a fix very soon. It is very frustrating. There are other bugs out there that really need to be resolved and should* be able to be fixed via an update, but until then...

So my understanding is that this locking up of my calling and signal ability is a common bug?
Well, that's terrible. Any way around it, or are people hopelessly awaiting a fix from Samsung?

Reporting Loss of Signal Issue Samsung Epic Touch Rally
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Interestingly enough,
I have un rooted my phone, and now I do not experience any problems thus far.
It used to be near daily when it came to these signal losses, I wonder if it has anything to do with the rooting or if I am simply enjoying a stroke of luck right now.

It has to be a hardware issue since not everyone gets it right?

[Q] blazer rom question

Okay so I love this rom. I installed it when it was at 1.6. I checked back to see if they had updated anything and wow it was already at like 2.1. I got to reading and found out that 2.1 uses a new kernel and would not recognize my 64 gig micro sd, so I installed 2.0. Everything works great except for one thing. In some areas, I cannot make calls. It acts like it is dialing, but never starts ringing and eventually hangs up. I am showing in some cases full bars. I am roaming, but I have full service. I have checked my roaming guards and roaming networks. Changed almost every setting that I can with no avail. Sometimes when I try to make a call, I will lose all bars of service. One thing to note, when in this area, I can still use my internet and 3g service, just no calls. Before updating, I could make calls in the area easily. I can drive five minutes down the road and make calls with no problem. I am figuring it is maybe a different tower. Also this area is roaming as well. I can make calls no problem. Just wondering if anyone maybe has an answer for this. I have searched the blazer rom official forum and have came up with nothing. Advanced thanks to anyone that may have an answer and for the help.

*Update*
Okay, so I tried updating my prl with no luck. I updated via the option in the menu. A question that I had is do I need to do this on my Sprint network, or can I do it while I am roaming? Also I completely did a fresh flash of blazer 2.0, Superior, and blazer 1.6 (the last working rom that I had) and now they are all doing the same thing. My wife's phone, a s2, works fine in that area as well as my buddy's. Any other suggestions?

Get an up to date rom. That rom is notorious for not being updated or supported by the developer.

I did, I tried superior. It did the same thing. Now I can only make calls on roaming networks occasionally. I have to keep trying to call and call and eventually one of the calls will go through, sometimes. Other times I can't get a call out at all. My internet works fine. I have tried 2 different roms. 2 versions of Blazer and Superior. I tried updating my prl on while connected to the Sprint network and that did not help. I am at a loss here. I have tried just about everything that I know. Could it be a hardware problem? I would not think so since I can make and receive calls fine while not roaming. Any suggestions?

Where are you located? Kind of sounds like a Sprint issue.

I don't think it is a sprint issue. My wife's stock s2 works fine. I am located in Danville, WV. I get no sprint service where I live and am always roaming, so this is a pretty big deal. Also, this morning I installed MOAR with no luck either. Could it be a hardware issue? I don't think it is because if i'm not roaming it works fine...must be something small.
