Changing Preferred Mode? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Made this thread on androidforums, but figure i'd get a faster response here.
I'm trying to fix an issue with CM7, where my phone is constantly in 1x mode instead of 3g.
Is there a ## code that will allow me to change my Preferred mode to automatic?
I loaded up a sense rom, and tried to use ##3282# code as mentioned in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898882, but it seems to just give information about the txt messages sent and data usage.
Is there a different number for the incredible?

its under the phone info. you can try to change it to CDMA only and see if that helps. but im no way an expert and i wouldn't mess with the settings unless you know what you are doing.

[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

Went into Sprint and had techs assess it. No idea. Manager has never seen code.
Switched ROMs from CM 7.0.2.1 to MikG to see if ROM was affecting it. Nope.
Unable to send/receive SMS and make/receive calls. Data fully functional in all aspects (1x, 3G, 4G, GPS, WiFi).

You say you switched ROMs? So I would assume you wiped everything.
Which would be
System/Data
Dalvik
Cache
Boot
Android Secure
And everything else besides ext partition and your SD right?
Now let's trouble shoot this problem. Have you tried installing an OTA ROM? If not, wipe your phone completely and install an OTA rooted Rom.
As you are doing this, I will research on this problem.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Also have you attempted reprogramming your phone? I remember someone having this problem a long time ago and someone suggested dialing *228
Found the article. The number is indeed *228, but this was for the Droid Eris, so a different carrier. But dialing *228 fixed the problem.
Ignore the previously mentioned. It seems it may be for Verizon only.
EDIT#2
Good god I just read you can't make phone calls. So before we start messing with these codes, have you updated radios at all? If not, try to do so after doing the first step I requested you to do.
EDIT#3
This seems to have to do with your phones provisioning. Try provisioning your phone, it seems that has worked for others whom have had the problem.
To do this you will need to call sprint to do the provisioning process. So if wiping your phone does not work along with reinstalling a rooted OTA, try this.

@DDiaz007:
I had not installed an OTA ROM and I had read elsewhere about the *228 code and was quite sad when it was for Verizon only, considering those people were having the precise errors I was having.
I ended up calling into Advanced Tech at Sprint as per someone's advice in the IRC for Evo. Forgot the guy's name, wish I could give him credit here.
Solution was:
##231465#
Edit Mode
MDN: Should be current phone number. If not, correct it.
MSID: Should be number AT will tell you you should have. If not, correct it to such. If it already is, change number to some other 10-digit number, commit modifications. Reenter this edit mode by same means and change back to number AT said it should be, commit modifications. It required a reboot for me to acquire service again after changing that number and changing it back, but both SMS and voice now work flawlessly for me. Hell, maybe faster than before!
Thank you for your continued persistence in helping me solve my problem, though. I really appreciate it.

I been having this same issue for a few days already. What do you mean by Edit mode?
Hello I am that same problem on my EVO 4G but all things work and data work Its just keep saying SMS ERROR something 34 and code 2 and this occured after i downloaded the blaze beta 4 rom. I am new to this phone tech stuff and do not want to make things worst on phone. I will be waiting for someones help and thanks...
I got the same problem about 2 weeks ago. Short sms sends good, but then sms length not suited in one message, this cause error. Solution i still has not found.
I tried to get into service mode by code? wrote upper, but no menu appeared.
Bump for a solution for this problem...
I am currently running the fresh rom 4.3.3 by flipz and constantly receiving this message. I have tried resetting the phone...doing a full wipe of the phone and doing a clean install of the rom.
This problem Also occured on the Team Nocturnal's 4.67 OTA Rom with the updated radios and updated OTA kernel...I have recently gotten an Airave howver, this problem was happening about 2 weeks prior to getting my Airave.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

[Q] How to manually program

Does anyone have a good link or how-to for manually programming the Incredible? My phone won't call/text/connect to mobile network, but everything else (wi-fi, GPS, all apps) work fine. I think manually programming could fix it, but it seems like some murky territory if you're not absolutely sure what you're doing
Set up only involves you dialing *228 and follow the prompts to either activate a phone or update your roaming. I believe the only other activation method involves Verizon doing this in store.
It depends on what Rom you are using and what EPST but I can type ##000000# and able to change MSN and MSID(MIN). Then I can also type ##PRL#, 000000, which allows to update the PRL. With this Voice and Text should work. Only other thing that might need updating is SID which I found after typing ##DATA#, edit, 000000, in Advanced.
Again, it depends on the version of EPST you have on the phone.
The other way to manually program would be using QPST on your computer and typing ##DIAG# on the phone.
Finally some roms require to press Call after the # codes.

Gotcha. To add, you must perform *228 while on a Sense ROM then revert back to AOSP. I'm not sure if you did that or if that would help in this case. That said, FlagMax's magic is way more in depth.
You mind my asking, when and how did this issue arise?

I had unrooted and flashed back to stock RUU when I tried the *228. Still didn't work.
Was a very strange situation. Phone was workign fine Saturday night when I went to bed. When I woke up Christmas morning, the screen wouldn't turn on and there was no LED indicator when I plugged it into a charger. I pulled the battery a couple times, but it wouldn't turn back on until I had pulled the battery and wiped the contacts off. After it booted back up, I wasn't able to call/text, but could still connect to mobile internet and wi-fi. I figured it was just terrible reception at my parents' house, but on the drive back the next day I lost mobile internet too and wasn't able to do anything with it since.
No clue what happened... but it all started with that battery problem. Go figure.
that's exactly the same as my problem.
I experienced a few reboots on the past week and suddenly it disconnected from network.

We are going to need more info then that. Your AAA and HA user name name and password have nothing to do with getting calling to work just data. Make sure you entered the correct meid in QXDM and that u also put in your phone number and mdn as well in qpst.

i got calling/texting to work, finally....
my msid was different than my actual phone number and i didn't realize that.
changed it in ##msl# and voila, calls and text!
now i just can't get that data working, i've manually entered all the usernames and such in ##data# but that didn't work.
so i went the route of using qpst, data still doesn't work.
weird quirk though is that it seems the settings in qpst aren't sticking maybe? i'll write the PPP box to phone and then when it boots i'll read it to make sure it's right, but it will be gone.
Additionally when i try to input the correct settings in the advanced tab on ##data# i cannot get them to save. I'll exit data programming mode and it will all just change back to <not set>.
that may have some problems with it.. i can try flashing a sprint rom again to reset the data settings to start fresh maybe?
again i appreciate any help you can give me because i've been working on this for damn near 4 days!!!!
edit: i've attached my list of important things to have while programming, most of which was pulled from data programming on intercept.
i trust that you won't try to steal any of my number and what not, if it's possible.

another weird thing i found is that if you want your AAA password just open up ##data# on the intercept and click on the password like you're editing it, long press it and hit select all, and then turn the phone sideways like landscape mode and you can see the passwords in plain text! that's how i got mine anyways... seemed easier than reading through the adb log.
edit: TO BE CLEAR that way of getting the AAA password ONLY works on the intercept running 2.2 STOCK. It may or may not work for you, if it works for you then we can probably assume it will work for others who have problems with adb like me.

Start over fresh? Why Certainly! Odin EL30 Stock Tar. Have Repartition checked and make sure you have efs clear selected as well.
WARNING!!!! EFS clear is going to wipe that phone clean, you'll have to re-input the ESN (I think) and prl, etc. Least that's what I believed happened to me last time I did an efs clear.

i will do that once i am off work!
you guys are a lot of help, and i appreciate it.
i just want to start off fresh because i was about half asleep when i entered all the numbers in and i'm about 99.5% positive i funked up a number somewhere that shouldn't have been effed with.... i'll let you know if it works!
well! reflashing to stock fixed my problems.
followed your guide and entered all the settings verbatim.
the 3g icon is up, data is working .....very slowly.
this leads me to believe that it's not actually 3g and just 1x.
according to mobile speed test i'm going at about dial up speeds (not even 1x) with 3 bars of service.
any idea??

So I figured if I used the apn-conf.xml from that and put it in jellybreads apn-conf.xml (despite cgm's being sprit) ot should work! No dice. Ill give yours a shot n let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

No problem. I have another one still at the house I'll dig up. If the one above doesn't work, let me know.

I have a metro/cricket apn.xml somewhere on my laptop at home, as soon as I get there, I'll post it to pastebin for you.

Not sure if it works at all, but I had it on my sdcard so it must have worked at one point

If that APN is what got you hot and bothered, lol, be certain to link back to it in other threads for other users to be able to configure their setup as well. I don't even use my Evo for anything more than a music player, so I could very well not be capable of much more here.

well that apn work specifically for jellybread. Ive been searching for as i said 3 days for a simple custom rom that was stable and fast and fully functional (Minus 4g :,-() . all of them seemed to have major flaws, slow and bloated, threw my phone in a loop, far too many options confusing me.
but for wimax I'm convinced that since I have 4g included in my plan for cricket if i could figure out the right settings in qpst I could get on 4g too. Id probably get a heart attack though from excitement. Ive seen youtube videos for it but i could only hope. ill try posting a new thread for that though.
bless you!

The other cricket users of JellyBread and Kendallc123 herself may be as ecstatic as you if you can get 4g working with cricket, but you should link to this in the JellyBread thread so that the cricket users there see it. Also I'd thank user/dev Wambo_Bomb, since he is the one who left me that APN when he gave me his old Evo.
i spoke too soon. my phone said the message was sent, which before it wasn't even doing that but they aren't getting the pictures on the receiving phone. back to trying out different roms :,-(
though i despise having 2 different numbers for messaging and despise having a app for text and another for mms i suppose i can just use my text free account from pinger for images and my phone for text. obnoxious but it is a work around i suppose.

Cricket 4g will never work on the og. The reason is simple cricket 4g is lte while the og is wimax. Now as far as mms that will work but you have to make changes to the apn. I have attached one that I know works but you will have to edit the username in the apn. Unlike most carriers each cricket user has a unique user name. It is your phone number here is an example ( [email protected]). Easiest way way to do this is get apn backup and restore from playstore. Backup your current apn and then copy this one into the apnbackup folder that was created and edit the username. Turn on airplane mode delete apn then restore the cricket_sprint.XML file. Reboot phone and turn off airplane mode.
As long as your settings are correct in qpst then this will get your mms working. If you need further help feel free to pm me.

thank you for the link ill give it a shot. as i said before I've tried MANY apn settings so i do know how to do it. every apn ive tried for cricket or metropcs though has had different numbers in the other lines. (NOT the MDN line, i know you have to put your number in the mdn line) My settings in qpst have to be correct or internet wouldn't be working as well, because as I said the cryogenmod 10 rom was the only rom that mms, (and everything eles worked) for even though the apn was set to sprit. (makes no sense to me but it worked) But the rom was pretty much unusable on my phone with how much battery it drained, (2 and a half hours and the batter was gone) how slow it was, (cpu usage was constantly at 998mhz) and the rom was all around confusing for someone SOMEWHAT new to this stuff with too many options i didn't understand.
I think its something other than apn settings because the cryogenmod rom worked for mms and internet though the apn was set to sprint. all other roms ive tried has had either sms not working and/or mms not working and/or phone not working and/or contact lists not working something for the basic phone functions causes force close errors with all other mods.
once again it didn't work. the pictures say sent but are not being recived by the person im sending them too. SMS that are too long and converted to MMS come arcoss as code to the person they are sent too. I dont understand why one rom with sprint apn settings would work but this one wont. is it possible for roms to change qpst settings? i cant tell anymore though as i cant enter diagnostic mode.

ive tried messing with settings in ##3282# ive tried manually setting things in the settings menu in the messaging settings, ive tried restoring correct apns. nothing seems to work except a buggy bloated rom for mms.
