For the last 2 1/2 to 3 weeks my data speeds have come to a crawl. At first I thought it could have been my rom at the time, but I have since changed roms and even updated my radio version along with wimax and pri. No matter what website I load or application I try and download I can't seem to get above 200kbs up/down with 3g. I can't test wimax since miui doesn't support it.
Could it be throttling on my account or maybe because I tether alot to let my niece go online with her DS?

check your pri... needs to be 2.whatever, not prl, 2 differernt things, then if pri is good i might reccomend flashing new radios.. i use cyanogen cause it is asop and supports wimax

I know but the miui rom itself doesn't support wimax. I have the latest radios and stock kernel from miui which is based off cm..

Shameless bump. Would unrooting and going back to stock help?

Hey all. Apologies if this question has already been previously answered. Ever since installing the Skyraider 2.2 Sense ROM, my signal strength and 3G connectivity have been acting a little funky. Phone will flip flop between 1x and 3G in areas where it never used to, as well as loose signal in those same areas. I'm wondering if this has to do with an outdated or oddball PRL. I can only assume it's not a safe idea to perform an automated PRL update on a modded rom, but I don't know for sure. Anyone out there have any advice?
Thank you all in advance for your help!

I updated mine when I updated my radio to 2.05. It works better now, and I've had no problems from VZW or anything
Alright, sweet, good to hear! Do you happen to know if the same applies to the 2.15 radio (the version I have)?
Thanks for the response!

I updated PRL with out any issues and I am using 2.15 radio with Skyraider 2.2.
Yeah it's starting to look like I'm going to have to manually update my PRL, because I just tried doing a *228 and it came back as "Programming failed, call customer service".

Nevermind actually. I tried it a second time and it completed successfuly. Now just need to determine if my overall signal has gotten better, lol.
Thank you all again fr your responses

I just flashed Cyanogen RC2 and I am not able to get 3g. Where the 3g should be there is only a "1x". The data works but is incredibly slow, I asked a friend and he said that I might need to flash the new radio. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks a bunch
What is your current radio?? When you flashed CM it comes with current one..

Are you in an area with a bad signal? At work when I'm not near a window my connection will sometimes drop to that level.
No I have full service and I did a speed test and I got 1 KB/s dload speed

This was happening to me to, on every rom. The other phone on my account was faster to...odd. So I called Sprint and they "refreshed my data services". Flawless now. Now its says 3g instead of 1x. Stoked

is there any risk involved in this? eg. can they tell I'm rooted/running a custom rom? sorry I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff.
Also when I go to wireless settings there is no option for mobile data

Well don't mention it to them make sure you have a rom that has the option to update your prl, and profile. Because they'll want you to do it. Fare warning, they'll want you to update the firmware. I just went with it, but it didn't go through. It said "there is no system update". So it all worked out.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
This has been happening to me, too. I tried different radios, prl, etc.. with no changes. I even went back to a rooted 3.26 rom and let the phone update the firmware and everything it wanted to with no change in signal. The Sprint tech said everything looked fine on his end after having me update profile, prl, check for software and firmware upgrades. I can't remember what he called it but basically he reactivated my phone as a last step.
CM and mobile signal widget show 1x and when I go to ##debug# (on sense) and check EVDO engineering every field shows <failed>
When I get time I am going to go to Best Buy and hope their insurance works well.
That's weird because when I go to another rom like fresh my 3g works fine its just on cyanogen that my phone has this hiccup

My first post so can't post in development threads. Been browsing for months but never registered.
I have been using synergy since I was able to root with revolutionary. Used g-mode for a while but non g-mode seems to run better. Switched over to WarmTwoPointThree on Monday with freedom kernal.
No 4G doesn't bother me because I don't have coverage and I love how sexy the Rom is and how smooth it runs. Didn't have any issues till last night. Noticed I can no longer receive or send text messages that include pictures or any type of media. I know about the 160 character limit with 3.5 but didn't find anything on this. I already posted on the bug link in warm 2.3 op, but no answer yet.
This is just an attempt to get someone to be aware and Idk if its just me. I love warmtwopointthree but have switched back to synergy for the time being. Will switch back when it gets updated.
Thanks for all the great work guys.
Try updating you profile and prl in a stock evo sense rom.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried this, still on PRL 60683
Same result.
Okay so here is my story.
I have had this phone since it was first released. I have rooted my phone successfully and I have been using custom rom's since gingerbread.
Whenever I install ICS roms, the 4G will always fall to <100kbps on the speed test app. When I go back to gingerbread the 4G speeds are normal.
I've tried about 20 different ICS modems and kernels on various ICS roms and I get the same results.
Just today I went to the Sprint store and got my phone replaced thinking maybe I just had a bad phone. I just installed another ICS ROM and I'm getting the same Bull**** 4G speeds... WTF (I'm tight)
Any advice, tips, ideas, or am I just a duncebat?

When I talk to other people on the ICS Rom threads it sounds as if I'm the only one with that problem and everyone else's speeds are just fine.

I get that same problem. And it gets stranger still. I pay for 30Mbps internet at home. If I speed test on my computer, I get 30, or damn close to it. But when I speed test on my phone, I get a whopping 10. Since wimax is wifi, I am guessing that its a problem in the modem related to wifi. Anyone else experiencing this?

This discussion is only for user's who have had their E4GT flashed to Boost.
I have tried almost all the roms. Including the Samsung Boost leaks. When I'm on all the ICS roms I get a data error then update profile and it's gone for a while but comes back often. I have been running Calk's 3.0 GB and never have a data error.
Of course, that is why my daily is the aforementioned Calk 3.0.
Anyone have any similar experiences?

And how about 4G any to loose it when flash a sprint rom???
bumping this up because I have the same wondering mind as acrown.
Contract is up with sprint, would like to move to boost, but the Sprint S2 is cheaper than Boost's
Wondering if I could tinker with a Sprint version on a Boost ROM.
Guess no one has gotten that creative yet? Too soon?

I've used both paranoid Rom 2.2 (which I'm currently using) and the stock ff18 Rom and have never had the 3g stop or anything related to that and I'm on boost. I also wrote an updated guide on how to COMPLETELY flash that can be found somewhere in the older flash to boost thread in this section.

In order to have working 4g you need to clone or change your 4g mac address to a working active sprint address or a clear mac. Reference this thread for more info.

Your will not lose 4g once you have done this by just changing roms since this setting sticks.

Have tried both the Boost leaks and many of the Sprint roms. Currently I use Calk's gb 3.0 since it doesn't give me any data error's. Since I don't know anyone who has gotten a E4GT from Boost I have no way of knowing what if any the difference is. I created this thread because I wanted to know if Boost user's were getting data error's on ics. Still haven't gotten any feedback on that.

More specifically since both replies relate.... Boost has this with 4G now...I mean same network essentially right? I would THINK in my tiny little mind that the need for a full BOOST flash plus additional 4G mac tinkering may not be completely necessary outside changing some minor things? ...I guess that's more where I was headed with that question, but it will end up rooted and flashed anyway...
Rigel, I'll move my wandering mind to a new thread if you prefer.

Lol. Both leaked Boost roms are full Boost roms. I do know that unlike hacked Sprint phones flashed to Boost the 4g option will start at 55 and shrink from there.
bigtimeweb please feel free to discuss anything in any thread of mine anytime that is why I created it.
