[Q] Only get 1x - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I only get 1x everywhere there's service and i don't get 4g because I'm on MIUI. So i tried restoring my data profile, with the ##3282# dialer code but when i switched back to MIUI it was still on 1x. I'm using PRL Rom 3 for when i do this I'm not sure that's the problem. But I'm not sure i'm supposed to get 1x because someone else who was near me got full bars 3g with sprint (palm pre).

AOSP shows the true signal - if you have 3g it shows 3g, if you have 1x it shows 1x. On Sense it shows 3g regardless. I'm not sure about the Palm Pre, but you were probably getting 1x on Sense as well, it just displayed 3g.

ik that but everywhere i go it's 1x no 3g at all, unless massachusetts has no 3g then i think there's a problem.

Well, that isn't an issue. That just means there is no 3g in Massachusetts!

I guess it was the PRL Rom then because it didn't have the hands free activation after rebooting from dialer code ##3282#. Now it works fine. But Massachusetts not having 3g would be extremely hard to believe.

This is everything I can think of that will give you 3G
My suggestion:
Back up.
Download all radios. Check my sig for a link.
Wipe cache and dalvik.
Flash radio. Reboot. (All reboots will take you back into recovery)
Update Wimax. Reboot.
Update PRI. Reboot.
Update NV. Reboot.
Flash a rooted Sense ROM, based on the Evo (this disqualifies MikG, Director's Cut, Synergy and other Sense 2.1 / 3.0 ROMs, because those are based on the Evo Shift/3D (I've had issues with Shift/3D-based ROMs not reprovisioning data). Update PRL. Reboot.
Go into EPST (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode), enter your MSL code (download and use MSL Reader from the Market to get it), Data Profile, hit the menu button and choose restore. Just sit there, your phone will reboot and everything will go back to default. Let it reprovision, but when it says "Updating PRL" hit cancel.
Wipe everything in recovery three times, flash ROM of your choice. Personally I always do fresh installs, you can use Titanium Backup or nandroid I guess. I just like a fresh start sometimes.

I was having slow connections last week while Hurricane Irene was blowing through and for a few days after. I'm on a Sense ROM and my notification bar showed 1x whenever I dropped down to it.

Not connecting to 3G EVDO, only 1xRTT

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.

[Q] Cannot Fix 1x issue for the life of me on cyanogen7

I have flashed every version of cyanogen it seem by now. Every cyanogenmod i try to use, it never works on 3g no matter where i am. It always stays in 1x. 4g kills my battery but i have to use it. I tried flashing back to sense roms, doing the ##3282# and changing the menu settings, but when i flash back to cyanogen the ##3282# feature does not work, any ideas? I have tried every tip and trick on the internet that i can find
Are you using an Airave? I had that issue and it was the Airave causing the issue.

Try *#*#4636#*#* Phone Info try switching it there.. idk give that a shot
Did you try this:
Flash CM7, make a nand backup, flash sense ROM, update your PRL, then do ##3282# and go to data profile, hit menu and then restore. Once it reboots, just let it get through hands free activation and cancel once it asks you about PRL again. Then flash Calk's format all and restore your CM7.
unlike sense roms cyanogen shows your actual network. (in your case 1x) no matter what you are on with sense, it will always show 3g..
think about it...
have you ever seen your evo show anything besides 3g? nope....
i always have 1x in my area unless i got to walmart, or im at home because i have a 3g airave
hope this helps.
the 1x isnt a problem, its just showing your actual network.
i fixed the issue, I had to go back into a sense rom, go into the evpo menu, change the setting, then back it up, then restore back to my cm7

I think 3G is borked on my Evo. Pics may help someone explain to me whats going on.

Here are some pictures that can possibly help someone help me. 3G has not connected to the network since I installed the Synergy nightly rom. 4G works and Im able to use data but not 3G and Im unable to make/receive calls and text. Gps works, wifi works. I even noticed today while traveling to work (which is 22 miles from my house) that it connected once but with 1x signal strength then it dropped.
I'd try "restoring" your profile and see if that helps.
If you don't have your MSL, you can get the MSL Reader from the market (or possibly find the APK somewhere and push to your phone since data isn't working).
1. Dial ##3282# from your phone.
2. Choose "Edit Mode"
3. Enter your 6-digit MSL
4. Select "Data Profile"
5. Press your "Menu" button.
6. Select "Restore".
7. It will restore your default data profile and reboot/check for PRL/firmware updates.
8. Success??

Thanks and i tried that method already but will give it another shot..

Something similar happened to me not too long ago and I had to do a factory reset to get it working again. Get you MSL code, and then ##786#. In that menu, hit "menu" and then restore the phone.
Before you do, back-up all your apps and user data with Titanium Backup (or whatever you use) so you can restore your phone back to how it is now. If not, you will lose all your apps and settings.
Thanks will try this method again and let you guys know my results.
So did you ever get this resolved?
Just Update Data profile. I was having the same problem a few days ago and flashed back to VirusROM from CM7 to update the profile.

[Q] Synergy rom stuck in 1x

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.

[Q] HELP!!!!! 3G no good!

my phone has been rooted for 1 year now and so far have had no problems what so ever, but just recently i flashed synergy rom and all hell broke loose. my phones 4g works fine and so does wifi but my 3G would not start, it would turn on for about 1 second then go straight to 1x.
things i have tried......
update my profile and prl...nothing
##data##, menu, restore....nothing
pulled the battery like about 155752 times....nothing
nandroid restore to a time where it was working...thing
flashed like 6 different roms and still nothing works.
flashed new radios and still a no go..
i tried to do the whole metro pcs flash but then changed my mind not to go to metro as its network is crapy. i went to qpst and cdma and reverted everything back to how it was, so i dont see why it would mess up my 3G
i have no idea what else to do, any help will be greatly appreciated.
If it is 1x, that shows the true data strength. You may have excellent connection, but poor data in that area, or the server is just temporarily overloaded. It'll correct itself. Previously, sense roms would always show 3G even if it was a 1x connection, but most developers put in that fix to show the true strength, like in aosp.
Thanks for the reply. the thing is that my wife has an evo as well and shes right next to me and gets perfect 3g data connections, and i was getting error 67 upon trying to update prl and profile. as soon as i did the reset on the ##data## it went away, and now it wont even connect to 1x at all...man its so frustrating, ive searched and search but nothing.
same thing has happened to me, tried chatting 3 times, and called tech support once, so far no data.
try this...i did not work for me at all but it might work for you...good luck buddy you'll need it lol...this crap is frustrating as hell.

ive had similar problems... just flashed a rom,, 3g working but hotspot isnt.... i need help too
Sense ROM's show 3G to identify a data connection, while the bars are actually displaying the voice connection. I believe aosp ROM's strickly display the data speed since voice reception is generally good. This may just be a placebo affect and you think you have poor 3G. I would suggest running a speed test on both ROM's (your current one and the one you found "good" data speeds on) to ensure that it's not the ROM itself.

I've got the same exact issue, but I've been on Synergy for a while now. As of last night though, no 3g... My France's unrooted EVO works just fine, and I've been in a few different areas, so I know it's not the tower. I've done the same things the OP has done and still nothing... Is it possible for the Rom to fry out the 3g??

Ok ive got mines working. However its still a little sketchy but atleast 3g doesnt go away. After going tjrough the steps in my last post, I did ##786# and resetted everything. Then reflashed my rom and walah!
This worked for me.
Step 1: Open dial pad , ##3282# enter
Step 2: Select "Edit Mode", then input your MSL number
Step 3: Select "Data Profile", then press menu button
Step 4: Select "Restore", then press ok. Should reboot on it's own. If not reboot.
You said you did something similar but figured it wouldn't hurt.
I did that, but didnt work for me. However every phone is different and every little bit helps.
