I have my Evo in one hand and a buddys evo in the other. Both have wifi off, I launch speedtest app on both, on mine I get 900+ download speed, on his 126 is his max. I updated all the radios. He is running myns warm rls 5 with htc#15 kernel. I am running cm7.
Could he have a hardware problem? I have tried everything I know to try.
**EDIT**
Downloaded signal strength widget and he is only getting 1x not ev(3g)
going to update with the msl # and try that.....
**EDIT**
Set it to auto and still not going into 3g, staying at 1x.
So how do I get the phone to go into 3g?
**EDIT**
Now in 3g
did this again, I didnt commit the changes. He is not getting 1000+ up and 987 down.

Hi, I have installed the rooted .6 ota, along with the latest radio and wimax. Everything is great until I turned on 4g...it seems like all the CPU time is used to run 4g. I ran speedtest and 4g speed is stuck at 1.7mbps down. So how do u check the version no u have for the wimax radio?
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 just flashed the new synergy rom on my new evo and my phone keeps getting stuck in 1x. Is anyone else having this problem and can anyone tell me how to fix it? I'm pretty new to this, but I'm almost positive that I did everything exactly like I was supposed to when flashing the Synergy rom. There is no reason for my phone to be stuck in 1x with the coverage I have where I live and I did not have this problem with the stock rom. I have tried to look for solutions to this problem on my own. I have updated PRL. I tried to increase 3g speed using the method explained by Avalaunchmod. I have also tried performing a hands free activation. When I restore back to stock rom the problem seems to go away. Tried reflashing synergy and I'm back in 1x. Thanks for any help.
If you ignore the fact that it shows 1x mode, how does the speed compare to how it felt before?
Synergy shows 1x mode, whereas the stock rom doesn't. You may have been 1x before and it just didn't display it.
The speed is definitely slower. If I am able to start a download while it is in 3g, it seems to stay in 3g and download faster. I understand that the speed can fluctuate some but if I am in 1x, the speed seems to be significantly slower and it stays that way.
Maybe my friend's problem being stuck in 1x mode only is due to Sygnergy ROM. I'm going to have him flash another ROM and hopefully that'll fix it.
I've flashed Synergy, Mikg2.2 and Mikg2.3 and with each one I'm only getting 1x. I've tried updating the prl, profile and radios. I even did the whole ##DATA# and changed EVDO to Auto, but the setting always reverts back to CDMA only. Not sure what else I can do.

Ok, weird. Just reflashed Mikg2.3 and updated profile and it gave me 3g... Must have screwed up somewhere.
I flashed the Synergy RLS1 rom for my evo 4G from here the screenshots there show 3G but i only get 1x at home where while on stock ROM i get 3G with almost full bars. I've done a speedtest and the connection sure enough is slower while on 1X with this ROM. Is anybody else having this same issue?
I think i may have fixed my issue, thanks anyways..
For the past week and a half, I've had internet issues when I'm on 3g. It works fine on wifi. I've switched between ROMs, kernels, modems, etc. I'm currently on Goodness with the MA6 firmware modem AIO and the anthrax kernel. I've tried updating the profile & prl. I have between 2-4 bars of 3g and yet it still gives me the webpage not available sign. I tried clearing the cache/ fixing the permissions. But the internet simply won't work. I'm in Maryland, between Baltimore and Frederick. What could the problem be? Maybe the phone itself is defective or Sprint's network died in my area?
I'd see if they're doing work i that area. I know in areas of Baltimore 4G is there, I believe. You could try using build prop tweaks ect for signal if you wanted.

Misery loves company.
The 2nd post is a thread I started regarding the same problem. The first post is to a thread I thought could help me. I tried some things mentioned in there but none of them worked. Then someone posted in the thread who is having the same problem.
Here's what I've been running into and what I tried. I am on FreeGS3, Anthrax kernel, and recently updated to MA6 when I started having problems. I use a battery saver so my internet connection turns off when my screen is off. I started noticing a week or so ago that when I woke up my phone, the 3g icon would appear but only the up arrow flashed. The download arrow wasn't doing anything. I would toggle it off and on and eventually get it to work. I'm in the Raleigh-Durham area and we are just starting to get LTE. My 4G works whenever I go through 4G areas and my wifi works. I have restored a working backup, wiped my phone, flashed back to stock unrooted, called Sprint (they refreshed my signal and had me do an OTA activation), manually changed my PRL, upgraded to MA6, updated profile (when I could get it work).........and I think that about sums it up. The one thing I've noticed is my phone works flawlessly when the network mode is set to CDMA. At this point I'm clueless. I really don't think it's a phone issue because 3g works on CDMA. It's like when the phone is set to CDMA/LTE and it doesn't have an LTE signal, it doesn't know what to do. That up arrow flashes in such a rhythm that it's like the code is stuck in a loop.
