I had LOS between 2-3 times per day since I got my my E4GT on launch day. About two weeks ago I followed the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281287 by flashing SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernelStock-v1.tar first and then flashing acs-eg30-stock-kernel-pulled.tar because I wanted the stock kernel but rooted. Since I did that, no more LOS issues. Not once.
I have no idea why this might have worked and if it will work for anyone else, but I thought I'd share just in case it is useful to anyone.
Good Luck.
I started having LOS again. No changes to my phone. I guess this wasn't the ultimate fix I had hoped for.

You get los regardless on stock or rooted? Los. Happens when your in a low signal area and when thee phone attempts to roam, you get los.

then why do ppl get LOS when they are connected to an airrave? (myself included though i havent had one in recent days)
LOS is a samsung problem, they are aware of it and most likely already have a fix, but are waiting to roll it out.

Those remain rumors until something official comes from Sprint. Talking to techs is not an official channel by which Sprint makes announcements. Right now, this update may or may not happen, at an indeterminate time.

The Airrave issue is not actual LOS. LOS is when you lose all services IE. Data, and Calls. With actual LoS You have a circle with a line through it and you might as well be in airplane mode. Dropping a call or not being able to send a text message isn't LOS, although it is an issue. On the Airrave you may be unable to send text messages, but may receive them and can make calls therefore its not true LOS. For me I updated prl, restarted phone, restarted Airrave and the issue was gone. It has popped up on occasion from time to time, but for the most part this resolved the issue. As for the best solution for actual LOS - LoSt Kernel/the tasker set up which can be found here in the general forum. This will not guarantee that you will have service everywhere you go and it wont guarantee that you will never drop a call, it will however significantly lower how frequent you get actual LoS. The tasker set up will make sure that as soon as you get true LoS your phone resets so you dont have to worry about missing anything.

Haha yeah I clicked this thread thinking "oh something new regarding LOS?".
This is definitely a Samsung issue, and something about the source code they released seems to exasperate the issue. Other then the auto reboot scripts that are being worked on, nothing is going to fix this until we see an update get pushed out.

Like most others you will wake up one morning and it will be on 76, there is a way to do it manually but you need to get your msl. Google update prl manually if you are concerned about. It won't make that much difference unless you travel alot, roam a lot, or you are in one of the areas that had a roaming tower switch.
Rethinking this prl error thing. I Odin'd back to DI18 and tried the PRL update and still no go. Let the OTA update to EC05, no go. Called Sprint and he (of course) had me go through a few different resets and still no go, even got me locked in an activation loop. So somewhere along the way my update ability was broken. Was it something in DK28? Since it broke GPS's and some USB connections. Not sure but luckily with insurance I will be getting a new phone next week to see what works. My g/f's phone has gone mostly the same path as mine but prl updates fine. All phones are not created equal.
It's Sprint's problem. I wish they just would know and admit that. We're stuck at 60676 for now anyway. Manual updates are the way to go if you must. I think folks have been using QPST.
Sprint has basically acknowledged the issue on their support forum. I tried to post the URL but this site wouldn't let me.
Of course, acknowledgement and fixing it are 2 very different things. I don't think they know the root cause particularly at the technician level. They just send you through some resets and then offer to swap your phone.
I wonder if this will be fixed in the next OTA update?

Hmm...maybe. But why do the new phones work, unless it is something in the first batch of Epics that went out, if so then why does the 2nd phone on my account update fine? If both phones purchased at the same time were not updating then I wouldn't question it, but the fact that 1 does and 1 don't bothers me and makes me feel like something in the rooting process or ROM flashing knocked it out. I have seen the posts on Sprint, but I think it is due to the amount of reports that they have gotten and have no idea what is wrong. Once they get my phone back, they will have another one to work with.

My phone updated fine when I got it in mid Jan 2011. I started getting update errors about a week BEFORE the 2.2 OTA update. I have never rooted and am completely stock. My guess is there is a software glitch on some phones or the servers that is preventing the handshake between the phone and the servers for updating. It could be that Sprint has unknowingly programed their servers for some ESN's not to update. I just hope they find the root cause and fix it.

Maybe...certain ESNs? Trying to lock out first Gen Epics? Every theory I come up with gets blown. I imagine both phones on my account are the same gen purchased a week after they came out. I guess I have to let it go and be happy with a new phone next week.
Do you BONSAI?
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm having problems with my Evo running CM7. I can't send any text messages (they fail every time) and when I try and make a phone call, a voice comes up saying "Your authentication code could not be verified." I flashed over to the Fresh rom and updated my PRL and profile and rebooted the phone and still, get the exact same message. I'm not roaming because it's happening in my current town.
Does anyone have the slightest idea on what could fix this?
Thanks!
You should give Sprint a call on this one. Sounds like something on their end.

Happens all the time, lol. If I know they can do it and they won't/can't, I usually just call back.
not sure where to begin, i suppose by listing my phone specs after root--
using the galaxy s2, (epic 4g touch) using kernal 2.6.35-8lostkernelexp+, build number starburst 11.13.11 v1.9.8r and running nothing but the honey theme.
i rooted the phone about a week ago and until today, everything seemed to work fine, then suddenly, i was unable to send pictures via text. not a real big issue, but i travel alot and sending pics back home by messages i a big deal for me. i thought it was just somethin with the phone, and after rebooting and rebooting to see if it would correct, it did not. however, normal text's would go through, just not any pics. i could send and receive normal words with no issues.
then just today, i totally lost internet connection--although the 3g is lit up on top, and i have 4 full bars of signal, i cannot surf, all i get is "unable to display webpage". since im at home, i turned on the wifi option and connected through the router in my house, and all worked fine-- i got online, send pic texts, etc...but when i turned wifi off, nothing.
now, back when i rooted the phone, i still kept getting the annoying "system update" messages that the phone normally does, forcing me to install whatever update the phone grabs. to prevent that, i did the steps on this site which was here--
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388778&highlight=freeze+ota
and disabled my update notifications. well, back to the beginning--now i have no internet at all and god only knows what else is wrong that i have yet to discover.
only thing i can think of at this point, is to unroot the phone , return it to the way it was and see how it goes but i dont want to do that--
any ideas?

Why not nandroid a backup of your current setup and then do a full factory reset wipe and ODIN over a stock rom and see if that fixes it...if it does then there is no reason to bring a perfectly good phone back.
Diagnostic process bro, get on it.
However if that doesn't yield any results? Might be bad hardware (which I doubt) and probably not your fault.
EDIT: You haven't changed your PRL by chance, have you? Sometimes on 11115 or 00001 I get intermittent MMS function...and a few times, legit PRL or not, my wifi/4g have just stopped working. A wipe and stock-restore took care of that every time...though that was a week or two after the phone came out and we didn't have nearly as many tools and options as we do now.
Also, are you sure that you haven't somehow disabled 3G or put it into airplane mode? As insulting as that sounds I have to ask....
...sometimes even the brightest of us forget to plug things in.
Odin restore would be the first step.
I would try ##72786# in the dialer then entering your msl. After that just just hut yes then let your phone do its thing and reboot and reactivate. Just remember to cancel it during the firmware check.

Good call...or even just trying to refresh your profile under 'updates' would be the easiest place to start...
The mms issues are likely a limitation of the ROM you are running (I haven't run Starburst in a couple of months so you'll have to ask about that in the ROM thread.) Easily resolved by using a third party app for mms if it is an important feature for you.
As far as the rest, the code provided by beejis is the reprovisioning code, also called a hands free reset and there is a bit more to the process than he stated (at least for a noob.) Hit the toolkit link in my signature and you'll find step by step instructions.
If that doesn't work, starting fresh is an incredibly simple process.
Also, posting the exact same question in two different forums is breaking a Cardinal rule, so you probably want to refrain from that, it won't win you many friends.

If you have titanium backup, go into that app then click backup/restore at the top. Find system updates and click on it to see if it's frozen, if it is defrost it. Then try my steps again. Other than that I'd try to Odin a stock ROM.

ok thanks, i went back to odin stock rom, did it from qbking77's post and the phone is back on stock...however............still no internet/data!!
i did do the ##number thing, the phone rebooted but notihng happened--i thought it was supposed to auto activate or something. so i went into settings/about phone/update profile....it scanned and after a few mins, i still get the error message "update could not be completed, if problem persists contact sprint customer support"
so im back on factory rom, but nothings changed---im where i was before--no data/internet....
before installing a different rom and such, i figure ill stop here and see what other suggestions may come about....sooooo, what next?
Take your phone in to a sprint store, an exchange may be in your future.

what if i did a total wipe, factory reset? i know ill loose everything on the phone, and now that its not rooted any longer, i have no way to back up anything (or at least not that i know of)
just hoping theres a better fix than a return/ factory reset
Now that you are stock, call sprint tell them your issue (only tell then internet doesn't work) and they'll do stuff on their end to trouble shoot it. Hopefully that will fix it.

That sucks, I'd recommend taking the phone to Sprint/where you bought it, and get it replaced/fixed. Good news is you're now back on stock so they won't really look into rooting as a problem. I always put phones back to stock before I take it in for a claim.

yea, dunno...
i did call sprint per Beejis reply here just above yours. after going through a ton of crap that i did yesterday and all today, the ## number crap, they tell me there's a nationwide outage. now i find that hard to believe since both my other phones in the house, wife/kid work just fine and they have data/internet and other ppl i know have no problems....i told the tech person that it just must be my phone only cuz everyone else's seems to work.
she did give me an outage number, maybe someone on here can verify it -- 8622911 so who the heck knows. what i do know is, i sure spent a heck of alota time on here, resetting my phone, unrooting, blahh blahh just to find out there's an outage which i doubt in the first place ...
we'll see,,,,,
If you are now stock/rooted, sounds like you need to use sfhubs auto root script to go back to stock recovery (overwrite your custom recovery) unroot, and take it back to Sprint.

but yes, looks like im headed back to the store-- i got it at best buy, have insurance and all that, but ill wait till tomorrow or something just in case this phantom outage corrects itself
by the way, where do i find this sfhubs root your talking about?
oh one other thing i discovered today also, now gps dont work either, no location, no search no nothing and it is turned on......... sigh
I apologize in advance if this is a thread somewhere I couldn't find it.
I was recently using CM9 alpha3 on my E4GT, and last night suddenly I wasn't able to make calls. It says "we're sorry but we can't complete your call right now" or it just instantly hangs up. I thought it may have been an issue with the rom or modem, so I went back to Calkulin's GB EL29 ROM. Same issue, even after resetting PRL and profile multiple times with phone restarts. I can send and receive texts, and I can receive calls, but I can't make calls. Another thing to note is I use an Airrave in this house, I tried resetting that as well, and dialing *99 which is supposed to also refresh or reset it. None of these tactics have worked and I was wondering what else I could try. Thanks again in advance!

possibly Blacklisted
expanding on the previous post..
Did you get the phone direct from SPRINT. or via ebay or at a pub?
Bills paid?
are you the only registered owner of the handset?
people will sell you a phone, then after a little bit of time passes. they register the phone as LOST/STOLEN/DAMAGED the network Blacklists it and provides the fraudster with a shiny new handset.
you end up out of pocket without a working phone.
its an increasingly popular fraud technique I'm afraid.
Silly question but it needs to be asked, are you sure it wasn't something with the number you were calling? Did you try calling several number?

Why don't you use sfhub's one-click EL29, get yourself back to simple stock rooted and see if it clears up the issue. It's always my fall back whenever something goes awry.

Don't reflash Calkulin's ROM until you've been able to recover your voice calling services. Both CM9 and Calkulin's ROM are custom, so maybe that's where the problem is coming from. You need to get back as close to stock as possible then see if the problem persists.
Go back to EL29 (plain stock or stock-rooted), see if everything is working then you'll know if maybe it's something in the flashing process that is knocking out the voice calling.
I'm also having the exact same issue with my airave. If I unplug it I'm able to make calls without a problem. So as someone else posted I believe the airaves are having issues today. But I am on the stock FD26 ICS if anyone else is having the problem and thinks it has anything to do with the leak.

Yeah I unplugged the airave and I walked far outside to get a bar and was able to make a call. Didn't think it was the culprit because other family members can make calls with it, they have different phones though.

I took my phone into sprint and they said I need a new phone. Wtf! Anyone have this issue, or have any ideas to resolve this?
Im pretty disapointed right now, the phone was flawless before the update! Never had a single problem before. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE.. In conclusion,if anyone is interested, I believe the new jellybean update just doesn't play well with my towers in my area of Chicago. With the jelly bean update my voice signal was excellent, but the data signal was degraded. I always noticed, with ics while 4glte was connected, the voice signal was less. With jelly bean it seemed to be just the opposite at all times, great voice so so data connection. Only if i could have both and jellybean wtf?? Maybe someone could help me on here and explain a radio/jelly combo i would have best of both worlds.
Seems to be a Chicago issue.
**Either way I aquired LGNPST and original TOT file and reflashed the phone with original software and have not accepted the jellybean update for now.**
If you would like me to host the files needed PM me, I'll send you links.
I suposed I could have tried to reflash ZV9/ICS or ZV9 radios, but I bricked the phone before trying that.
I must have got the best phone out there. I've never had a problem with any software version we've had.

Rub it in why dont ya.... Well mine was the best android phone that i have owned. I never had a single issue before this.
I guess since i havent got any responses no one else has this issue. Is there anyway to reflash jellybean on my phone again?
Have you tried a ##72786# in the dialer? It will reprogram the phone. It won't erase anything.

I have not tried the ## but ill give it a shot. Sprint may have done that.
More on this issue, it seems just not to send short messages. Like lol, no, yes anything shorter than a sentence. I have noticed tht long texts send fine, and picture text seem lightning fast. Whch is great, but cant respond to someone with a simple yes or no. Wtf
I have also noticed a bigger delay between automatic switching between 3g and 4g. Before the update the switching was seamless.
I have also rooted and reflased the ota, same issue. I did not flash the radios seperate tho.
The ## did not fix my text issue. Sprint store did do this as well.
Still have this same issue anyone figure anything out? Anyone have anymore suggestions i can try? Sprint does something on their end, and restore the phone with ## and it works for an hour, then back to the same issue.
Peteyo, are you in Chicago? Maybe it's it's a network issue. I'm having the same problem and so is my buddy. I can't believe more people aren't coming forward with this if it's a national thing.
But let me know if you find a fix, and I'll do the same. And you're right, it only happens on short messages!
Im in Chicago and having the same issues, even with other messenger apps that use stock mms, I also use whats app and have no issues. They seem to be random some send and some don't. If there is a fix please post it is a pain .

I have chalked it up to LG sucking! or I supose it could be sprint. The JB update they pushed changes the way the phone communicates with the towers. I grabbed bits and pieces from other threads with data problems and came to that conclusion. It doesn't appear to make issues with everyone, or have the same problems.
What i did, and what maybe the easiest is to reflash the phone back to its original form out of the box. Also im not accepting the ZVB/jelly bean update that messed up our phones. To return to original state, u must aquire LGSNPT, and Sprint`s original tot file. You can find these two in the developer sections. Its really easy and painless and get you right back where u need to be. The toughest part is putting your phone into download mode. vol+ vol- and power buttons.
Make sure u back up your pictures/things you may want to keep.
Option 2 you can **** around and try to find an ICS file, root your phone, and flash it back to ics. Or better yet root and flash ZV9 radios.
However im not sure if these will work. I have not been able to find ZV9 radios.
Option 3 if you have insurance get a new reman phone, or if no insurance pay sprint 50bucks for a reman phone. But you will still have the same issue if you update to ZVB/jellybean.
I wish I new more about this stuff and make a custom radio that has the voice improvements from ZVB/Jellybean, and the data from ICS/ZV9. Probably not even possible.

I'm in the Chicago area and noticed the same thing...
The strange part of all of this is that my text messages will always send if they are greater than about 10 to 20 characters. Anything smaller than that amount will give me a send failure. Has anyone else had that experience?
Data and Cell Reception have been stellar for myself since the update -- I believe I was having the texting issues before OTA (though I wasn't rooted at that point)
***If you have this issue please call sprint, so they are aware of issue****
That was my exact issue! I had to send complete sentences. WTF

Don't you feel a greater level of sophistication when you have to type an entire sentence?
I'm sure it's Sprint trying to cut down on their SMS costs, but I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
Funny! I guess I should have just added a bunch of quick messages that are complete sentences for a yes or no answers. And the lesser 4g reception does slow down my midget porn downloading. Maybe it really is a win win...

It has not been fixed yet, and I'm starting to believe it may never unless people start complaining more. I strongly encourage people to call sprint support often regarding this, if you would like to see it fixed. I have opened a couple cases with Sprint business support (corporate account here). If more people raise a stink, they have to do something!
Will do. Thanks for the quick reply:thumbup:
Btw.... You guys have one beast of a phone! Congrats:beer::thumbup:
