I just got a replacement epic cuz my old one broke but I used to have these "tweaks" (I guess) that made my 4g connect to lower signals and the same for 3g and another one that made 4g connect quicker
But now I can't find these threads
If anyone can find them can you please give me the links to them? Cuz I've been looking all day and can't find either one of them. Thanks for whoever helps

My 4G broke! My other phone connects fine but mine craps out trying to obtain ip address on 4G network. Thoughts? Reflash the modem? EFS clear? Call Sprint?

That is the post that I was looking for except the one I seen was on here on xda and it had more stuff like options for the 3g connections to make it better and also there was something specific u type into connect bot to get the msl and only the msl instead of a huge list

My 4G is fixed. Had corrupted data somewhere. An Odin to anything got it working, a nand advance data restore killed it. Restored everything without data in Titanium. It is still working now.
I can't imagine anything in the titanium backup that would corrupt the modem or kernel?

No Titanium did not but I had some bad system data somewhere, perhaps in the WiMax apps. So I used Titanium instead of Nand to restore apps only and then data to the few apps I had to have restored like memo and cardstar. All is well now. Only 4G was affected by this corruption that I got on a journaled ROM. Flashed the journal on script to be doubly sure this time.

There is a thread buried in Epic General somewhere here to do a manual MSL tweak that took me from having one bar 4g and it constantly going in and out to full bar 4g service. It is definately one of the best things I have done to my phone. It involves locating your MSL# with Terminal Emulator or ConnectBot and making manual changes to the settings.

BBlunts456, that is the exact one I was talking about. When I get to a computer I will click a "thanks" for you. This worked great for me. I have heard from some people that MSL# doesn't show up on EC05 modem. If that's the case, you can go back to EB13. I think that's when I did mine. It may have been as far back as DK28 for me but the changes stayed for me when changing modems.

No problem. I have it saved as a favorite on the XDA app so it wasn't hard for me to find. I did save it because I knew it would get buried. I think it should be stickied.

I like the hardware but this loss of service thing is annoying.
Has anyone determined if this is a software issue? Sprints network isnt great but my evo 3d fares much better.
Ive read around on the internet and I THOUGHT I read a post that mentioned a user reverting to EG30 which solved his/her problem. Only thing that isnt positive is whether the user reverted to software EG30 or baseband EG30.
Any insight into this issue, how to revert to an earlier software version? Ive tried various radios but not software. I appreciate your time.
I'm having same problem....my evo 3d had no problem with Los but my e4gt is terrible where I live.....I was told to try different modems but I tried FCO7 AND FC14 still the same.

Hmm, what do you mean by "loss of service"?
This is a term used specifically to describe losing service while the phone says it has service...

Ok, maybe that is incorrect.
Just using it, for example sending a tweet or an email, one may send immediately. Then if I choose to refresh or send a second tweet/email right after, the transmission arrows dont light up for a while. Its like the radio is going to sleep way too fast and it takes even longer to wake up and complete the transaction. Enabling/disabling fast dormancy doesnt seem to make a difference.
Edit: under these conditions, I never get the "no signal" icon. Just seems the radio is sleepy
Well I asked around because my signal sucks but I called sprint and they said my area has really good service.....but people told me to try FCO4 and FC14 and FCO7 that might help so I did......nothing helped.
I just looked it says I'm using el29 on my kernal and FCO7 under baseband.......not sure if that helps,ill try to find out more and if it helps ill let you know

I rooted my tmobile S3 today and it worked fine. Later I installed a cyanogen nightly sang noticed it was only getting 3g, so I did a restore to the stock rooted firmware through ROM manger. With that I got just bars, no indication of 4g or 3g. The phone wouldnt go to the internet, it said no connection available. I had to restore back to cyangen to get the phone just to work... but regardless of which settings I chose the phone is stuck in 3g. What is the fix? I'm going crazy here

3G on cm is the same as 4G on tmo stock rom.
Try checking your apn settings on the stock rom since I think your imei is fine, without it you wouldn't have gotten 3G at all, even on cm.

Wait, are you just looking at the icon without it doing anything. Many aftermarket ROMs will show 3G when the phone is doing nothing. It will show 4G or H when you make it work.

What do you mean? The nand restores, but not the wimax? Or it fails to restore anything.
What recovery are you using? Did you remember to select wimax when backing up?

the Nand restores but the wimax didn't. I check to make sure there was a wimax file in the back up and there is. I did check the wimax option when restoring.

Yea on my phone ASOP speeds are like like .20mbps on 4g ( not kidding), while on TW its atleast 2mbps on 4g. No real way to fix it that I found after alot of searching. But I heard it depends on your phone, some people say they get same speeds on TW and ASOP. My brother has Dirty Unicorn on his phone and has the same speed that I have on Project X. We are just unlucky
I ended up flashing fi03 and its doing awesome now I'll post a speed test soon thanks for the reply

You are always going to have better data speeds on tw than on aosp...When Im on tw I run the stock kernel that matches up with the rom and modem Im running..So I get my data back to what it was when I was stock...But you don't have the kernel option on aosp..I have seen many people say this modem works and that ones better, but really you just have to find which one works best for you're area...FL24 works best for me..but Im in chicago,so the towers are updated more often..
