Very bad to no signal atall?!!!

Hey guys,
After rooting my evo about 4 months back ive neen through many roms, kernels etc. I have only updated the radio and pri once recently but never touched the winmax but recently ive noticed horrible signal strength sometimes texts wont even go through and im getting around 1-2 bars max no matter if im at or out somwhere.
So my question is what should I do to improve this would updating wimax help? Since ive never updated it since I bought this phone.
Im on cyanogen b2 supersonic mod which I flashed over a nightly because thats what da instructiins said.
Kernel: snap 7.6 turbo

if its just recently i would see if any friends have signal issues in the same areas... could be a tower issue.
otherwise i would go back to a stock 2.2 odex (it will jave latest wimax and radio in it.) and see if that helps.
if nothing works... it very well could br your phone.

Updating the WiMax radio will have nothing to do with your 3G/voice reception. That's a totally separate radio.
+1 on v_lestat's suggestion. See if anyone else is having problems, if they aren't I would try these steps (continuing on to the next if the previous didn't work).
1. Update profile
2. Reset profile in epst ##3282# (Need MSL) Edit Mode>Data Profile>Menu>Restore
3. Experiment with different radios until you find one that works best in your area.

Thanks for thr reply but can you explain in a little bit of detail like what will the epst do? And whats "MSL" lol
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I saw someone post something today about a program on the market to get your msl. It's called MSL reader and will help you get that. You cannot edit details in the epst without it. If that doesnt' work, you can always call sprint and tell them you need it. There are a couple of threads on here for help if they aren't willing to give it to you.
In the epst you can change things pertaining to your data pofile, wimax settings, and misc advanced settings. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN HERE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CHANGING. For what you need to do, just reset your user profile and then click OK to restart your phone.

[Q] Speeding up my Evo? Also Nandroid?

How's goes it out there? This is my first question on XDA so forgive me if I sound dumb.
I have a rooted EVO via Unrevoked. I am using Myn's latest Rom, my kernel version is 2.6.32.25-netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass. It runs pretty well for the most part, but I have crappy service where I live. I am usually between 2-3 bars. I want to know if there is a way to speed up my internet tether and my 3g speed.
Another question I have is I flashed Myn's latest Rom and I wanted to go and try other roms. The only thing is my Nandroid is missing from my recovery menu. Any clue as to where is went and/or how to get it back..?
Sorry if these are in threads already as I'm sure they are, but my internet is slow(as I stated above).Hopefully some kind soul would just work with me a little so I dont have to wait for 9000000 different threads options can be looked up and wait 10 years to do so.

Get sprints airave if you have cable or dsl internet. You will have full bars. Or get a cell signal booster for about 300 bucks from radio shack. This will also give you full service.

you COULD try and update your radios. What version on Myn? Is it his newest? If so then do thr PRL to 1.90. If your having issues with the phone not sleeping at night, extreme lag etc then downgrade to 1,77

I am on the latest version of myn's. RLS5.

fast, but want faster.

I have the latest version of Myn's. My prl is 1.90_003. Now how would I go about downgrading my prl? Also what does updating/downgrading your prl do? How can I tell if my phone is sleeping? Also any clue on the nandroid? Sorry for the overwhelming amount of questions, I have limited resources right now unfortunately.. but I greatly appreciate everyone's help.

Correction. My PRI is 1.90_003 and my PRL is 60674.

Just an idea, I read a post today that was talking about dialing ##3282# in the dialer, going to edit mode, type in the password found using MSL reader from the market, go to ADVANCED, then change HTTP PD Proxy Port to "0" and change HTTP PD Proxy address to "0.0.0.0"....
I looked for the post just now but couldnt find it... Anyway, several people on there were talkin about it increasing their 3g speeds ( and allowing them to dwnld mp3's), and sure enough I did it and my average (over 4 tests before and 4 after) went up about 25%.... Anyway, dont know if this will help you at all since your's is an actually service issue but it's worth a try... Hope it helps -- and by the way, I am in no way a professional, just simply passing some stuff along so do your research and dont just take my word for it... good luck mate

Help......CM7

After I flash this ROM my phone decides it dosent want to obtain a 3G signal and it will not connect to my home network which has excellent signal but instead wants to connect to random open extremley weak networks. Im getting beyond irritated!

Are you running the latest cm7 nightly #36? Why don't you turn on airplane mode then turn it off to see if that fixes it. Is your router a wireless n? If it is make sure its on 2.5 ghz and not 5.0ghz. Reason I said that is because my router can broadcast 2.5 and 5.0 so I have to make sure its 2.5 only.

Wow this sounds super strange. Why don't you try going into a sense rom to verify its not your account/phone and then come back to cm7! Maybe sprints network is down. Before you come back to cm7 update your profile a few times. As wifi goes you should get the free wifi analyzer app in the market to see what's the deal with your wifi.
Do you have an airave in your home?

I dont know what to do I went back to the backup I created. It finally let me setup my google account... I really dont understand this.

Read through this thread and make sure you're up to date with wimax, pri,prl, etc.

Please make sure you have a back up of your wimax keys before you do anything. The moment is terrible and can't even come close to being placed in the same sentence with the evo. I'm trying to understand whats going on but u need to give a little more details.

[Q] 1x problems

my evo when I flash custom roms will always give me 1x instead of 3g icon... not sure why is there a fix of any kind?

Your probably not clearing everything when you flash the rom. Make sure you wipe everything when flashing a new rom.

Try going into espt. (you need to be on a sense rom) Enter ##3282#. Go to edit mode (you'll need your MSL number). Select 'evdo', and make sure that the preferred mode is set to automatic. I don't remember if it automatically reboots your phone when you commit the changes, but if not, then reboot it manually after you change it. That may help ya out.

Good call, only reason I didn't think this was the reason because most roms don't have the icon change when you lose evdo.

Right, but now that a lot of the Sense roms are incorporating that mod (the mod that shows if your truly on 3g or 1xx), some people are realizing that they aren't getting 3g signal at all. Some may have been on 1x the entire time, but then when they switch to a rom that shows what you're actually connected to, they realtize they're on 1x. That trick works for some people, but not all. I think it'll help out though.

Same 1x problem no matter what i do
Ive had this problem for about 5 months now and it doesnt matter what ROM i switch to or use it the same and going in EPST doesnt fix the problem neither when doing what you just said to do with the epst but when i do change it from AUTOMATIC to HRC it goes back on 3G but the downfall to that is that phone calls and text dont come in to your phone until you make a phone call so can anyone help solve the issue why is this happening? I have a white evo hardwhere 0003 used all kind of roms even stock and same thing and know alot about phones and been messing with them since windows mobile 6.1 HTC TOUCH for sprint soo... And my girls evo is and stays on 3GrevA. her in not rooted and is stock tho while mines is stuck eternally 1xrtt.

you may have facked your radio at some point? I would tinker with different ones till you get the sweet spot.

This. There may not be anything really wrong at all. I mean, it sucks to drop to 1X, but the stock ROM was lying to you.
Now, if you ONLY see 1X all the time, yeah, that's a problem. But an occasional switch over to 1X (particularly if you're in a tough signal area, like the core of an office building) is normal.

I am on mikG Rom I have had 3g before I updated radios got the new stock rom but at home I use a airwave for signal wonder if that messes anything up?

Have you tried one of the new Sense 3 roms? The reason I ask...when you go into 'ABOUT PHONE' in settings these versions give you a network option that others do not. Check to see what it is telling you are receiving 1X or evdo. If it says 1X...you may have the same issue I had...borked 3G. Once I got it replaced..I loaded up the 3.0 again just to check what it now said..and you betcha...evdo was now showing and not 1Xrxx (or whatever it was).
I tried everything as well for about three weeks..you name it..ROMS/RADIOS/STOCK/CUSTOM/ESPT even took it back to fully stock and then rooted again (lost my .76Hboot in doing so, but phone didn't work right anyway... I was grabbing for straws. Luckily it was just under the first year and paid the 35 to have it replaced (no warranty plan). I travel and no matter where I went the speeds were terrible..ya..the 1X/3G/EVDO in the notifications bar is just for looks...but you KNOW when your stuck on 1X...frustrating.
This may not be the case....but

kinda of a simple fix... first of all stock sense roms always show 3g even if you dont have it... if on every rom you flash you keep getting the 1x AND you alreeady tried radios, nv etc upgrades and those dont work, then it is your PRL not PRI... 2 different things... to fix it check out a thread under deveopement ..Deck.... cause there is a fix there, or google prl and pri update evo on google.. you will need msl and be on sense and be able to use espt

What is this and why am i Hungover???

I' some what confused with why my phone is doing this.
I've flashed many roms and i always wipe everything down and never had an issue.
but for some reason, after flashing deck 1.3 stable and tiamat 3.3.7, it stopped connecting to 4g.
i flashed the latest radio and nothing.
just reflashed sense and updated prl and profile and still not connecting to 4g
it shows scanning for 4 seconds, then shows connecting to sprint for 1 second, then disconnecting, then back to scanning. I just don't get it.
any ideas? suggestions?
thanks fellas.

sounds like your rsa keys maybe missing. try restoring a nandroid backup of when your 4g was still working that may do the trick if not check out this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887900&highlight=rsa+keys. i forgot theres a app in the market you can use its called wimax rsa key checker or something like that. if it says your keys are gone just return your phone back to stock and bring it in just remember to play dumb when you do. just tell them all of a sudden your 4g stopped working.

you aren't SOL yet. Do you have an old backup? That will still have your keys if you used amon_ra and backed up the wimax keys.

damn that sucks. like i said earlier just unroot and put back a stock rom, then bring it in to sprint and play dumb. if they cant solve the problem then most likely they'll order you a replacement phone. once you get your phone back try to use 4g again some how after they flashed new software for me my 4g was working again and i just canceled my replacement phone.

Unroot and put the newest stock OTA on it. Take it to Sprint tell them it updated while you were away from your phone or sleeping and the battery was low when you realized your phone was dead you charged it up and powered it on only to discover your 4g no longer works.

to take a stab at your second question, were you drinking Red Poopers? Red wine, tequila and tabasco...
that's why I'm generally hung over
