I believe Korey aka Whosdaman said Sprint is doing tower improvements as part of a big project. I have had 4G since launch day of this phone. A few weeks ago I had issues with it connecting as well. Suddenly my 4G has been better than ever. Hopefully you may be experiencing the same and soon things will be better than before. It is odd that it works around where you live and not at home though

I just bought the epic 4g touch and I love the screen and software of this phone but I have again the problems with the signal and I am losing the signal at all, I have to reboot the phone to fix it. I am coming from the Samsung moment and nexus s 4g with the same problems. My question is everybody having the same issue and do you recommend to switch to the mopho (the Motorola phonton)?
Any help with my decision will be appreciate.

I would take the phone back. I assume there is a bad batch of phones out there because there are a lot who do not have this issue. The photon is a great phone just not as great as this one. That's my opinion and I have had every phone that has come out on sprint within the last year.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
No problems here. I had 4 LOS so far. 2 stock and 2 with rooted kernel. Flashed back to stock, no problems since.
I've owned both a Moment and NS4G and didn't have any chronic LOS problems. Not the strongest signals, but, The actual performance was always fine.. Except for the Moment and data lockups.... But that is a whole other story.

No issues with signal here. Had the phone since launch day.
Take it back and exchange it for another Epic 4g Touch.
I went to the store and they said that bc is known issue I have to wait for a update and if I want to exchange for other phone I have to pay return fee.
I have other problem, when my phone goes to roaming the 3g disappear and change all the settings and nothing. No data when I am roaming.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I've been stuck on 1x and no svc bars all day, and on and off yesterday. Keep getting the data roaming message.
Called sprint and they ran me through a bunch of trouble shooting, as usual, but could not resolve it. She said that my internet wasn't updating or something. Opened a service ticket and told me to take it in to the store so they can check the device.
Anyone have this problem before, and how did you fix it?
I'm currently running srf 1.2, genocide 2.0, honycomb fusion explosion theme, ec05 modem, and I have an airrave.
My wife's epic is also stuck on 1x, and the blackberry on our extra line also says 1x with 1-3 bars.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
My issue isn't that similar, but recently was the first time I've even seen "1x" on my phone. I literally have never seen my phone on 1x before, in fact, I thought it wasn't even possible on Sprint (Like, I didn't know it had the same name).
If all your phones are stuck on 1x, then it is most likely something with the service. You already did everything I could think of, so I'd just take it to Sprint again and tell them that it's been happening for a while and you've already been to a store, but it's becoming a real issue and you shouldn't have to be charged for a service that does not provide what they have offered, or something threatening like that.
Hope you can fix the issue soon,
Acer
I feel better knowing someone else also is experiencing this. Since like Thursday I haven't had a reliable 3g connection whatsoever I keep getting the "1x" icon also.

Same...wonder if it's something up with Sprint.
I literally haven't seen that phone have the 1x icon in the 13 months I've had it.
I've had trouble, but with updating my PRL and Profile. Once I read this, I've kinda conviced myself that somethings up on Sprints end, and not ours. Could this be part of Sprints Network Vision in action?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
It could be the airrave. I had trouble getting a 3g connection the first time we set ours up.

Roll Tide Roll!
Same here with 3 epics for 2 days, called Sprint and had them push a refresh on all 3, then I updated prl and profile on all 3, been working for about 10 hours now on all 3.
Wow! I knew I would get some response to this, but not that everyone is having the same problem...lol! Well, that sucks. I wondered about the airrave, but I mentioned a few times to the phone rep that I had one, and she never said anything about it. She did say they were no problemswith the service in my area. I'll have to see what happens when I leave for work tomorrow. Does make me wonder if sprint has something brewing that is messing up everyone's service.

Back on 3g today. Not sure what the problem was this weekend. I had no data when I got up, but rebooted the phone and so far so good. Full bars again, at home. I did switch roms last night. Installed miui with the data fix just to see if it made a difference. Didn't make a difference last night, but its working fine so far today.
Going to reset the airrave after work anyway, just in case. Are you guys back to normal today as well?

I made the switch from the Evo 3D to the Epic touch and I noticed that the GPS doesn't work as well as it did the Evo.
I was wondering if there was anything that can be done to make the signal a little better.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
coming from the epic this thing works amazingly well
but i get a signal within 5 seconds and a 10 meter range
the gps on this thing works even better than on the photon in my experience
.: sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch :.
I dunno...I fired up Google Earth on my lunch break sitting in my truck at work. I tapped "my location" and it flew in and was only off by 1 parking spot. I'd say that's pretty accurate.
So far as the radio strength I'd have to agree...usually it works fine for me, but some times I can't get a signal with it on my center console but if I put it in the door-handle pocket it works fine. I think that might be software tweakable...
You can try gps aid from the market. I used it on my epic and it helped but this phone works a lot better than my epic.

Using GPS Status mine often shows an accuracy of 6 feet. I didn't even know cell phones were supposed to be capable of that resolution. I'm very impressed here.

mine takes forever to get a lock, if I even get one. hmm, maybe I should go return it for GPS issues.
If your phone hasn't been rebooted in a while gps wont work very well. Reboot phone and it will lock fast.

All my other phones put me withing a few feet of my location, nor more than a few yards off in most situations. This has constantly had me at least a half of a mile off. I has me in an adjacent neighborhood at home and a half mile out in the river at work. i have tried all the settings. I am leaving work early today and going to Sprint for a possible exchange to another Touch. I already anticipate the run around but if they cant get me at least in the sprint parking lot, I am demanding a new phone. Its to the point where I cant use my GPS because it is totally inaccurate.

How long does it take you guys to get a GPS lock... Sometimes it take 5 minutes...
For me, I have never seen longer then 30 seconds. Usually less then 10 seconds.
I was goofing around with QPST the other day and noticed that there are Unpopulayed GPSone settings. Does this phone support GPSone? I populated the entries with data from my old phone. I don't think it made a difference, I just did it in the name of experimentation. What's the worse that could happen, I just have to reload my saved NV settings.
GPS used to be awesome...doesn't ever lock at all anymore. Reboot doesn't matter, GLSCLRX didn't help, re-stocked it, everything. no help.

Does it still have the crappy signal/gps issues? I had it earlier this year and it was frustrating, so just want to see how things have been since then with all the updates and such....
gps sucks. it takes a long time to connect. and i have this issue where the phone fails to connect to 3g when 4g disconnects. super annoying.
get the sgs3 or evo 4g lte.

You guys are all saying its works fine and like a million other people are complaining when I googled it lol. I'm just bored with my iphone 4 and my sister took my evo 3d, So I need something to get my android fix with lol.... no upgrade til december.
Having played with a galaxy s3 in the mall, I'd say go with that. Read that section in the forum to see what issues there are. After going from a 4s to the e4gt, I miss the 4s camera and the better quality sounding audio output. I've had this one for nine months now and the screen burn in is getting on my nerves. Going to pen tile displays was samsung's choice for screen lasting longer and less apt to burning. I didn't notice a screen door effect on the s3 either. Even though the cameras are virtually the same, I can see how having a faster focus helps in certain situations with the s3. Its low light is noisy though like lots have mentioned.

Its the way things goes on in consumer world. More noise is created by people who's stuff is not working. I work for verizon fios and we only hear 5 to 10% customers call in to complain but some might come to wrong conclusion that fios always breaks. Thats how it is. I have had no issues with my e4gt. Love everything about it.

I have no idea why but the past day my phone has been acting stupid. It will send some time texts perfectly fine, but after so many it keeps saying they failed. Like right now I got 3 texts out before it did it. Then I reboot, a couple more and does it again, but apparently the person on the other end is still getting them. I have good signal (I should considering I have a damn airave right below me) I've been running Blu Kuban 1.0.5.0 since it came out so I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM. Please someone help me.
