Phone is stuck on 1x service

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.

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?

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.

Reset the Airave and your router and modem. They screw up the Airaves all the time. Airave techs direct line is 866-556-7310.

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?

There's a glitch with the e4gt that I think was the issue with Los

Ok so whenever I reset my ram with task manager my radio crashes and when it comes back on it says roaming then jumps back to Sprint service. It also happens when using ##3282# wether I go to edit or view clicking on evdo will crash the radio. It did this on every build since I got the phone. Its nothing major like b4 when rebooting was the only way to get back in service. Just wanted to point it out bcuz I know its not normal and never experienced it with the og epic.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Its not a glitch that is supposed to happen. When u clear the RAM it stops all apps and processes from running. That us why that happens. Actually that was used to help get rid of LOS rather than rebooting cause it resets the radio.

Ok but why does it do it when accessing ##3282# and clicking on evdo from both the edit and view option? Also mind you it did this on my EG30 firmware when I got the phone. I disagree for the simple fact my phone always did this from day one. Clearing my ram always crashed my radio on eg30 so how is that new? Don't get me wrong I believe they did find a way for the phone to not have to reboot when it happens, but that right there is not it. Its a hardware flaw..

Also let me point out that my og epic used the same task manager and clearing out my ram would not crash my radio.

+1....clearing ram does not crash my radio
sent from the near past

Clearing apps and ram from the built in task manager does not, and never has, crashed the radio on my phone.

Did any of you two that never had this happen ever had a LOS occur before the fix? I'm no pro at being a super geek but I know when something seems screwy with my electronics...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

I got my phone about three months ago approximately. It must of had eg baseband on it because it immediately updated to ek02. I don't know if what I think Los is, is actually what it is. I thought it was, when you woke up the phone, you would discover that the 3g and bars were gone and replaced with a circle with a slash through it. Am I mistaken?

Your radio will always reset after ##3282#.. It resets to apply any changes. Just the same as after a profile or prl update.
But should not after clearing apps in task manager.

No the heck it shouldn't! I'm not even applying any changes! All it takes is for me to click evdo from whichever option wether edit or view. Mind you my screen freezes fir a short min when I do go to the evdo setting. Maybe I should make a video bcuz i'm tired of people saying this is normal. I bet the people who said they radios do not crash when they clear the ram won't experience this issue. If this is normal why the same option on my og epic which I still have doesn't do this screwy behavior?

Ok that's good to know. I got the phone on December and I never got one either. However I did experience the no signal popping up whenever I shut the phone off every once in a while. Never happened again after I upgraded to ek02. I'm just trying to get some info b4 I decide to go to Sprint and swap it out.. Now if those other two guys who don't experience radio crashes when clearing ram would let me know if they ever had LOS prior to ek02 I'd gladly appreciate it. Its just the whole thing has me skeptical..

I have both phones, and both perform the same way. As have the hundreds that I've troubleshot in the last three years at my store.
Sounds like you have heard your answer countless times, your just looking for feedback that follows what you want, not the actual facts.
Its not a crash. It will show a crossed out circle, flash connecting to voice(the 1x icon), and reconnect to 3G. If it isn't reconnecting, you have an issue. But, it will always reset.

1st I'll start off by saying two people already said they don't have this issue in this thread. 2nd how those the 1x icon show before reconnecting to 3g when Sprint disables the 1x from all their 4g phones from showing. And lastly I am glad you experienced the same behavior on all the phones you've worked on. I however didn't have that same experience. Anyways I already spoke to my friend (who works at a Sprint store) and he assured me his doesn't do it and if I would like I can come in to the store so he can order me a new one. Which I will do...
Edit: PS how dare you say all phones do it when I have my first epic 4g in my face and it is not doing this? Smh

You mean your service account? If so it shouldn't be a problem, though you may have to visit a Sprint store & call Sprint should you run into issues.
When my Evo went bad I had an old HTC Hero laying around & was able to reactivate it with no problems, but I did have to go into a Sprint store.

You should have no problems. I deactivated/reactivated my E4GT a couple of times online whenever I wanted to use my Evo 3d.

When you did that did you have to pay a activation fee to activate the 3d then again to reactivate the e4gt? I always thought even if you are just swapping service they charge you an activation fee. My brother has a spare iPhone lying around that I wouldn't mind trying for a day. Would I be able to swap the service free of charge?

Sprint has a page that you just swap esn's or go to your main page and click activate an account... Its rather simple and no need to speak to anyone, its all automated whether its your first or one hundredth time and if you have to pay it will tell you

This^
It's says something like "activate phone" next to your device in "my account". Takes minutes, just need the esn #. They would prefer you do it rather than call them up and waste their time, right?

How about if you want tethering, you pay for it and do it legally. Sprint will be seriously cracking down on unauthorized tethering with the new Network Vision network controls.

I don't use my data that much, maybe about 2GB a month, but I still hate the fact that every company want to charge for tier pricing. But the idea of the company able to charge for the service it doesn't do anything is insane. Sure if you want to let the company do so then go ahead, but then if you can do it yourself, then it become self service and you shouldn't have to pay. This is like they should be able to charge extra a month if you let you friend borrow your phone to make a call or to use 3rd party headset. Majority of people don't actually share the bandwidth with other people but rather to use the data of themself on another device.

If I remember correctly it, at least in previous flavors, has been in services.jar. But a lot of smali needs to take place in order for it to work, again the last time I messed with it though was back in the GB days.

Cannot make phone calls or send texts.

So I've restored several backups, hard reset through phone settings, dialed ##72786# to re program phone, updated prl and profile, and finally LGNPST. My 4g data works fine but i cannot get calls texts to work.
When I switch to my gnex calls and texts work like normal. So this is not a network error.
Any ideas? The geniuses at my sprint store are stumped.

Sometimes the bars show a red x. When there is an x I cannot get data either. Sometimes the x is gone and I get 4g again.
After LGNPST I was able to successfully update profile and prl but it did not fix the problem. I've been able to update profile a few times. After it says the profile has been updated the phone reboots. I've never seen that prior to this.
Oh and the lock screen and notification pull down both say sprint. As if it is connected to sprint service.

I had my gnex activated before I flashed the second update. When I reactivated the LG it seemed something had been ruined. 4g worked but no texts or calls.

That's your problem you got carrier locked. Nothing you can do but get a new phone
At least that's what I think

I don't think that is what it is, but im going to take it to sprint. Even if that's what it was, you would think cdma work shop could still modify the files

Sprint cannot lock the device's radio. It can control whether it or not it has network access, but that would not cause a red X on the signal, just the 3G/4G to disappear. The bars, depending on connection, would still show even if the device was completely deactivated.
To anyone facing this issue, I would get your MSL (if you're rooted, there's an app on the play store) and dial ##786#, press menu key, reset to defaults. Unlike ##72786# which only resets network connection, this will reset your phone to default settings in case it is a software issue causing this, and it will also initiate a handsfree activation, in case the issue is network-related. Yes, your phone will be completely reset, so back up your stuff now if you keep precious items on it. I'm thinking pictures/video/media should be ok, but I would back them up or move them just in case. I do not want to be held responsible for your lost pictures
