I am currently having an issue where I almost always have 1x. When I used to.always have 3g. Verizon said there are no outages, and i am having this issue in about a 50 mile radius. So its not just 1 tower. If I start to use data. The signal on the top of my phone will.flip back and forth from 1x to 3g constantly once a second.. but it.won't show any data moving. I can only use data from WiFi. This is happening on.newts incredible sensation ( previously worked ) and the incredible hd sense 3.5 ROM. I have tried 228 option 1 and 2. And VZW isn't really helping. Anyone have any thoughts? I tried searching but didn't find anything similar.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Yes sir. It worked. Thank you! Can't believe I didn't think of that before. LOL. But 722 works great.

I've been having the same problem, both at my parents house, and at my dorm (a small town to a large city as far as cell coverage is concerned)
I've ran both the shipping radio, the second gingerbread radio, and the current 722 radio and the problem still persists for me.
Was happening on OMGB, however i'm on gingerbang 1.7 and it still persists, even after a *228.
Do i just have a bum phone?
I am not rooted but I am almost always on 1x and not 3g. Extremely annoying when my old samsung rogue (verizon) had awesome reception. What gives?
Im not rooted, so anyone have any ideas?

Take off battery back cover and check those gold connectors. Make sure they are clean and stuff

Reason being, just in case you didn't know. The back cover of the Incredible2 is your antenna pretty much. WiFi at the top, Data at the bottom. Those gold connectors needs to have good contact.
Try it, take the back cover off and watch your signal drop
I've been stuck on 1x and no svc bars all day, and on and off yesterday. Keep getting the data roaming message.
Called sprint and they ran me through a bunch of trouble shooting, as usual, but could not resolve it. She said that my internet wasn't updating or something. Opened a service ticket and told me to take it in to the store so they can check the device.
Anyone have this problem before, and how did you fix it?
I'm currently running srf 1.2, genocide 2.0, honycomb fusion explosion theme, ec05 modem, and I have an airrave.
My wife's epic is also stuck on 1x, and the blackberry on our extra line also says 1x with 1-3 bars.

My issue isn't that similar, but recently was the first time I've even seen "1x" on my phone. I literally have never seen my phone on 1x before, in fact, I thought it wasn't even possible on Sprint (Like, I didn't know it had the same name).
If all your phones are stuck on 1x, then it is most likely something with the service. You already did everything I could think of, so I'd just take it to Sprint again and tell them that it's been happening for a while and you've already been to a store, but it's becoming a real issue and you shouldn't have to be charged for a service that does not provide what they have offered, or something threatening like that.
Hope you can fix the issue soon,

I feel better knowing someone else also is experiencing this. Since like Thursday I haven't had a reliable 3g connection whatsoever I keep getting the "1x" icon also.

Same...wonder if it's something up with Sprint.
I literally haven't seen that phone have the 1x icon in the 13 months I've had it.
I've had trouble, but with updating my PRL and Profile. Once I read this, I've kinda conviced myself that somethings up on Sprints end, and not ours. Could this be part of Sprints Network Vision in action?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
It could be the airrave. I had trouble getting a 3g connection the first time we set ours up.

Roll Tide Roll!
Same here with 3 epics for 2 days, called Sprint and had them push a refresh on all 3, then I updated prl and profile on all 3, been working for about 10 hours now on all 3.
Wow! I knew I would get some response to this, but not that everyone is having the same problem...lol! Well, that sucks. I wondered about the airrave, but I mentioned a few times to the phone rep that I had one, and she never said anything about it. She did say they were no problemswith the service in my area. I'll have to see what happens when I leave for work tomorrow. Does make me wonder if sprint has something brewing that is messing up everyone's service.

Reset the Airave and your router and modem. They screw up the Airaves all the time. Airave techs direct line is 866-556-7310.
Update= 3g still working on all 3.
Oh and I have no airave.

Back on 3g today. Not sure what the problem was this weekend. I had no data when I got up, but rebooted the phone and so far so good. Full bars again, at home. I did switch roms last night. Installed miui with the data fix just to see if it made a difference. Didn't make a difference last night, but its working fine so far today.
Going to reset the airrave after work anyway, just in case. Are you guys back to normal today as well?

I made the switch from the Evo 3D to the Epic touch and I noticed that the GPS doesn't work as well as it did the Evo.
I was wondering if there was anything that can be done to make the signal a little better.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
coming from the epic this thing works amazingly well
but i get a signal within 5 seconds and a 10 meter range
the gps on this thing works even better than on the photon in my experience

I dunno...I fired up Google Earth on my lunch break sitting in my truck at work. I tapped "my location" and it flew in and was only off by 1 parking spot. I'd say that's pretty accurate.
So far as the radio strength I'd have to agree...usually it works fine for me, but some times I can't get a signal with it on my center console but if I put it in the door-handle pocket it works fine. I think that might be software tweakable...
You can try gps aid from the market. I used it on my epic and it helped but this phone works a lot better than my epic.

Using GPS Status mine often shows an accuracy of 6 feet. I didn't even know cell phones were supposed to be capable of that resolution. I'm very impressed here.

mine takes forever to get a lock, if I even get one. hmm, maybe I should go return it for GPS issues.
If your phone hasn't been rebooted in a while gps wont work very well. Reboot phone and it will lock fast.

All my other phones put me withing a few feet of my location, nor more than a few yards off in most situations. This has constantly had me at least a half of a mile off. I has me in an adjacent neighborhood at home and a half mile out in the river at work. i have tried all the settings. I am leaving work early today and going to Sprint for a possible exchange to another Touch. I already anticipate the run around but if they cant get me at least in the sprint parking lot, I am demanding a new phone. Its to the point where I cant use my GPS because it is totally inaccurate.

How long does it take you guys to get a GPS lock... Sometimes it take 5 minutes...
For me, I have never seen longer then 30 seconds. Usually less then 10 seconds.
I was goofing around with QPST the other day and noticed that there are Unpopulayed GPSone settings. Does this phone support GPSone? I populated the entries with data from my old phone. I don't think it made a difference, I just did it in the name of experimentation. What's the worse that could happen, I just have to reload my saved NV settings.
GPS used to be awesome...doesn't ever lock at all anymore. Reboot doesn't matter, GLSCLRX didn't help, re-stocked it, everything. no help.

I agree GPS has been great. Thanks to the qualcomm s3 it works great. Not so great for some of the exynos chips on other galaxy s phones. Look at epic touch 4g and you will see they are not getting such great results. Something with the chip and sprints radio's must be conflicting. The galaxy s II from at&t seems to be working well too.
Yes, I must agree. This GPS locks very fast and it is pretty darn accurate. I am loving this phone so far.

There's nothing wrong with the GPS. aGPS stops working and there are no satellites downloaded, and there is no fix.
GPS Fix actually seems to have worked because now it's reliably getting a fix.

You really shouldn't need gpsfix. I have it out of force of habit. If you're losing the ability to lock, there definitely seems to be a problem with it. I'd take it back and ask for an exchange, just to be on the safe side.

Used the gps today on a two hour trip with tons of turns through the city and it held strong and didn't lose me once. Works really good which surprised me because one thing about older Samsungs phones is the gps would always flake out.
I am currently using the GPS in DC and its amazing. Usually my other Android phones would re-calculate

Anyone having trouble getting GPS lock using the Telus SGS2X? I'm in downtown Toronto and I can't get a lock for the life of me, it just bounces around my neighborhood.
Used it in Seattle the other day, only time I lost GPS was when I was 4 floors underground in a parking garage. Saved me a lot of time. GPS has been horrible on all Samsung phones I've had until this one.
Now we just need a good offline GPS app.
I have problems if I'm on WiFi and try to get a lock off of WiFi. I have to restart the phone. Happened to a replacement too so don't tell me it's the phone. The GPS hardware obviously is excellent, just this bug that has existed on all of my T-Mobile phones (GPS won't lock on WiFi, probably due to aGPS authentication) is carrying over when I'm off of WiFi.
just incase anyone else experiences this...
after installing FD24 (stock for me) i let my phone sit for 20 mins with GPS on and searching using GPS Status and it didnt even find one sattelite. So i left GPS on and rebooted. after reboot i got a lock within 5 seconds
Yeah not going to ICS until GPS is fully polished. Put ICS on two previous E4GT's and it borked out after a week. On EL29 and locks every time. So until this issue is resolved, no ICS for me

The GPS is as polished as she's going to get with these ICS modems, fellas. Mine has never worked before these ICS builds and it works like a charm now.
Mine has worked great on the ICS builds. At least the last few
yea i figured i'd make mention of this only bcuz i have read others who had problems on ics and methods of fixing was flash back to el29 and get a lock then reflash ics. but what just a reboot with it on, worked for me.
on me it work fine but issues with speeds on 3g so I went back to gingerbread

My gps never worked for crap, until I updated the modem to FC18 (and beyond), now I get an a-gps lock in half a second, and a true gps lock in 2. ICS gps works great.
