Updating your firmware isn't going to resolve an issue like that.
Is this a new issue?
Have you called Sprint?
Maybe there is an outage in your area.
Yes I've called sprint, they haven't been much help there is no outage and this so called "dead zone" is only at my home and basically there is nothing they can do to help me this is so frustrating! !!

That doesn't mean anything. The way your house is built can cause poor signal. They could also be closer to the tower.

Did you flash or update to the latest radio 2.15.00.0808.
I'm too newb to post a link, but there is a zip on post 2725 that worked good for me. Increased my signal and speeds, not sure if it will help you or not.
All EVO Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV & HBoot versions

I never have more than one bar of service on my evo, at best two bars. My reception is -84 dBm. I live in Houston so the area is not the problem. Everything else is working great. Any advice on fixing? Though I would try here before calling sprint.

Yeah I updated my radios and everything else from here.

If that's when it started you should revert back to a previous version.
Its also true that after you update a radio you should update your prl and data profile
No this has been going on for a while now, I was hoping the radios would help and they did for 3g speed. Just my service blows. What is considered a good dBm?

You mean it's always this bad with that phone or it's always this bad no matter which Sprint phone you have?
I have a HTC evo 4g, I think I noticed right after I rooted it last November. Running cm7 rom.

Rooting won't do anything related to that...
CM7 tends to be more accurate on displaying your real reception.
You may just be at the edge of a tower.
In my settings, (Mobile network state: disconnected). Could that be it?

you wanna talk about bad service!!
I just pray to God none of you are from west Michigan... our network has been over its capacity since December 22, 2010.. I know this cause I work at a service and repair store, makes me want to hurt a child.
texts come in hours/days late and if they do come in.. it comes in 5+ times... calls take 45-50 seconds to connect, voicemails come in DAYS later, you will have a missed call and your phone never rang.. internet is almost impossible. makes me hate my job!!!
I've searched the forus but no such luck.
I just flashed FreeGS3 (GSM) Release 3 & since then i no longer get 4g.
My download speeds are around 0.18mbps
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what that is, but why not flash the stock rom to revert whatever you did? Or a Nandroid backup?
..Or maybe your throttled if you hit your data limit? It throttles to edge .. so those speeds would should about right..
I'm getting the same thing I even unrooted to see if that was the problem but 4g still didn't work, I've put this phone right next to my old epic4g and all I get is 3g speeds, I called sprint and they blamed it on their towers being upgraded for September when LTE comes out

Did you guys flash the radio by chance? Maybe that the issue? Just a thought. Hard to say not knowing what you did.
I just flashed blaser, no one else seems to have this problem with that rom

Hey guys ,
I recently flashed Rootbox on my phone,and the ROM is amazing. It has bugs here and there but one of the most frustrating one is the inability to use data. I can access WiFi without a problem,but it won't access data. I tried switching to 2G only networks,GSM/WCDMA only,LTE , I even updated the Modem ! I am at a standstill here guys and I would greatly appreciate if someone would have some helpful insights on what I should do to get data working?
Thanks!

I also have the same issue. I first thought it was a bad flash and I was reverting back to stock, but was still not getting a 4g connection. I called t-mobile last night and they transferred me to an advanced tech specialist confirming that in my area there are data issues. They said it should be fixed within 72 hours. I also live in new england.

I had no problems with my 3G until Saturday morning. Then all of a sudden I cannot get 3G. I don't know what to do?
Well what I would do is connect the phone to qpst or cdma workshop and check to see if your AAA/HA keys are all still in place.
Could also be maintenance on towers in your area.

Would anyone reading this thread be willing to point me in the direction of a step by step thread on flashing epic 4g touch to Verizon prepaid? Since I am on boost network would I even be able to flash to Verizon? I really don't want to pay anyone to do this for me. Much appreciation in advance.

Well I did use this guide here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473141
Also I used the Verizon gutso 2 prepaid phone. I had a extra Samsung fascinate so I was able to get the 3g keys and all that.
If you don't have a Fascinate then you can follow this thread and pull the 3g info from the gutso 2 even after it was activated. At least it worked for me.

Hello to all.
I attempted to flash a Boost mobile native galaxy s3 running 4.1.2 to Pageplus last night. Got voice and text working fine, however, cannot get data up and running, even 1x.
Loaded Pageplus Prl, and tried to *228 to no avail. Also tried manually change the settings in the paid version of cdmaws, under the 'evdo' section.
The S3 thread was closed, so I thought I would post here, and see if anyone could point me in the right direction? If this is the wrong section, please advise, and I will be happy to post there.
I also read that there is a way to obtain 3g without using a donor, and I thought it may be similiar to sprint to boost flashing using wifi, but that did not work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Be well.
Anyone???

the reason nobody is really willing to help is because its a drawn out process ive been flashing phones to pageplus and verizon for years and what happens is after its flashed if you dont pay your bill in a timely manner your data will stop working. and guess what the LAST PERSON TO WORK ON IT IS now MaRrIed to that dam phone meaning that all subsequent issues get blamed on the last person that touched it. i wont even do it for free anymore due to [a holes] acting/feeling entitled
