I just finished flashing my Evo with CM7 and installed the gapps correctly. Everything is working fine... the only problem is that my Radio (Updated and flashed into the phone) is only picking up 1x.... I look at the radio and it's not on EvDO Rev.A ... it's only picking up CDMA 1x. What can I do to fix this problem?
Try going to menu/wireless and networks/ mobile network select auto or home only.. if that don't work try in dialer pad *#*#4636*#*# don't press talk it will take you to phone info select cdma prl.. let me know dude

No worky dude..... same problem
That's probably what you have available at the moment. Sense lies and says you have 3g when you don't

This doesn't have sense, it's CM7 Gingerbread
That's my point exactly.

The radio band is on CDMA - 1xrt or something like that..... I need it to be on EVDO Rev. A
Dude- he's saying that stock rom lies- stock rom says 3g when you are really in 1x. You have always been at 1x whereever you are right now. It's working just fine. Its not broke so dont try to fix it.
My phone does this on all the aosp based roms, goes back on "3g" whenever I load a sense rom

Try going to an area where you know there is 3g signal. Also on CM7 dial *18 to refresh 3g.
hTC Evo CM7-n17
how does that work again *18?? how you do that??

Hi, I was hoping someone here may be able to help me out with this problem. Last week I had a weird issue where my GPS signal stopped working, text messages and phone calls weren't coming into the phone. I've since been able to correct that issue with flashing to a clean Sense based ROM, and updating the profile and PRL, but now I can't seem to pickup 3G EVDO signal, only 2G 1xRTT..
My phone is(was) rooted and flashed with Calkulin's EViO 2 v1.77, most current radios. I thought maybe something got messed up, and since 1.8 was out, I flashed to that. Same issue, updated the radio from his package, same thing. Then I thought, ok, maybe something with this rom is messed up(unlikely, but I was grasping at straws at this point), so I flashed to a different rom, think it was sprint lovers.. same thing. Flashed to CM7, same. Unrooted and flashed back to stock, took it into Sprint, which they did a hard reset and told me since it shows the 3G icon in the top bar, it is on 3G and working fine. This is ofcourse bull**** since the Evo shows that 3G icon even if its on 1xRTT signal..Sprint tossing out wrong info, shocking I know. I've used Antennas and OpenSignal apps to show that it is indeed connecting to the 1xRTT signal. Downloading anything on the phone is ofcourse slow too, I've had google maps updating now for about 15 minutes, and it is 5.86MB.
Would anybody have some suggestions of what I can try to get the 3G radio working again?
Anybody have a suggestion of what I could try here? I've changed my PRL to the Verizon one, which gives the same results. Still having the same problem.
ya its calkulin's 1.8. the new extended mobile data menu hack has a messed up default that sets it to evdo only by default, messing up everything else. switching roms doenst help. go back to calk's 1.8 and type in the dialer ##3282# select view only and make sure mode of operation is on automatic.
I have flashed every version of cyanogen it seem by now. Every cyanogenmod i try to use, it never works on 3g no matter where i am. It always stays in 1x. 4g kills my battery but i have to use it. I tried flashing back to sense roms, doing the ##3282# and changing the menu settings, but when i flash back to cyanogen the ##3282# feature does not work, any ideas? I have tried every tip and trick on the internet that i can find
Are you using an Airave? I had that issue and it was the Airave causing the issue.

Try *#*#4636#*#* Phone Info try switching it there.. idk give that a shot
Did you try this:
Flash CM7, make a nand backup, flash sense ROM, update your PRL, then do ##3282# and go to data profile, hit menu and then restore. Once it reboots, just let it get through hands free activation and cancel once it asks you about PRL again. Then flash Calk's format all and restore your CM7.
unlike sense roms cyanogen shows your actual network. (in your case 1x) no matter what you are on with sense, it will always show 3g..
think about it...
have you ever seen your evo show anything besides 3g? nope....
i always have 1x in my area unless i got to walmart, or im at home because i have a 3g airave
hope this helps.
the 1x isnt a problem, its just showing your actual network.
i fixed the issue, I had to go back into a sense rom, go into the evpo menu, change the setting, then back it up, then restore back to my cm7
Ok I don't know if any has this problem but when I'm in a stock Rom I have both 3g and 1x Icons but when I flash a custom Rom I only get the 1x icon why is that it is mind boggling pleas help
I've noticed this occasionally as well, I would think that the stock ROM isn't reporting your signal strength accurately, or something like that.
You do have mobile data on, correct?
From what I read, cannot remember where, this is an issue with cyanogen. You are on 3G when data is enabled but the status icon will remain 1G. Or I have no idea what I am talking about. My phone is reporting the same btw. When I go online I use 4G or Wifi anyway. 7.0.2.1 stock PRL 01115 Baseband 2.15.00.11.19

That does make sense, I had the same issue when I was on Cyanogen.
OP, as long as you don't notice a different in speed and connectivity, then it isn't really a problem, I'm assuming.

Then again better wait till an expert confirms it. I would like to know so I can answer it correctly later on. You could test your speeds with data on in areas you know you do/don't get 3g service and post the results.
yes data is on but if i flash a regular stock rom like the factory but rooted the 3g icon comes up at the start with no problem but if i put some of the fancy roms or any of the 2.3.3 roms i only get the 1x only i dont know why is this i flash and flash and stilll the same crap .....
well i guess no help but im on the new virus kingdom port and mann it is fricken sweet " in my peter griffin voice"
The answer
Try *#*#4636#*#*
Choose Phone Information
Set preferred network type to CDMA only
Back out, your change is saved.
You should see 3g only now, just as you would with a sense rom.
I only get 1x everywhere there's service and i don't get 4g because I'm on MIUI. So i tried restoring my data profile, with the ##3282# dialer code but when i switched back to MIUI it was still on 1x. I'm using PRL Rom 3 for when i do this I'm not sure that's the problem. But I'm not sure i'm supposed to get 1x because someone else who was near me got full bars 3g with sprint (palm pre).
AOSP shows the true signal - if you have 3g it shows 3g, if you have 1x it shows 1x. On Sense it shows 3g regardless. I'm not sure about the Palm Pre, but you were probably getting 1x on Sense as well, it just displayed 3g.

ik that but everywhere i go it's 1x no 3g at all, unless massachusetts has no 3g then i think there's a problem.

Well, that isn't an issue. That just means there is no 3g in Massachusetts!
I guess it was the PRL Rom then because it didn't have the hands free activation after rebooting from dialer code ##3282#. Now it works fine. But Massachusetts not having 3g would be extremely hard to believe.
This is everything I can think of that will give you 3G
My suggestion:
Back up.
Download all radios. Check my sig for a link.
Wipe cache and dalvik.
Flash radio. Reboot. (All reboots will take you back into recovery)
Update Wimax. Reboot.
Update PRI. Reboot.
Update NV. Reboot.
Flash a rooted Sense ROM, based on the Evo (this disqualifies MikG, Director's Cut, Synergy and other Sense 2.1 / 3.0 ROMs, because those are based on the Evo Shift/3D (I've had issues with Shift/3D-based ROMs not reprovisioning data). Update PRL. Reboot.
Go into EPST (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode), enter your MSL code (download and use MSL Reader from the Market to get it), Data Profile, hit the menu button and choose restore. Just sit there, your phone will reboot and everything will go back to default. Let it reprovision, but when it says "Updating PRL" hit cancel.
Wipe everything in recovery three times, flash ROM of your choice. Personally I always do fresh installs, you can use Titanium Backup or nandroid I guess. I just like a fresh start sometimes.
I was having slow connections last week while Hurricane Irene was blowing through and for a few days after. I'm on a Sense ROM and my notification bar showed 1x whenever I dropped down to it.

I bought a used evo 4g.
I did the HTC unlock and flashed amon RA recovery
I flashed cm7
With cm7 I could not get 3g service
I recovered to the stock rom and even though it showed 3g, network info 2 showed 1xrtt
I flashed energy rom

I installed the epst.apk so I could install different prls
I changed the prl to 60681, the same one that is on my HTC Hero that gets 3g coverage
Side by side the hero and evo get similar db readings but the hero will lock into 3g while the evo will only lock into 1xrtt
When the evo does show 3g, it only lasts a couple of seconds before dropping back down to 1xrtt

I live in a pretty rural Texas area. Even though Sprint and Verizon show 3g here I don't get very good speeds with Sprint. When I flash a verizon prl, I'm still only getting 1xRTT
Any suggestions on what to do? I'm downloading a rooted stock rom and working on getting s-off to try different radios. Any suggestions on radio?
I had it lock onto 3g, network info 2 said 3g rev. A and I couldn't get it to load a single web page even though it showed data moving. the page finally loaded when it went back to 1x
I corrupted a password. Doh. Problem fixed.
Not sure what's happened but even my hero is getting faster data now
I had the same problem when I went to CM 7.2, I followed the steps on this page in the forums and now have 3g when I flashed back to CM for a stock ROM. Only downside now is it seems to not connect to my OG Airave (non3g) unless I try to make a call, stays on 3g with 1 bar all the rest of the time.http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/19389-3g-to-1x/
