4G signal - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is it about my epic that every time I turn on the 4G and turn my phone sideways I lose 4G connection. What the hell! Everytime. Does anyone else have that problem?

I would get rid of that modem. Try EE03 or the EH17 modem.

i get a similar issue. anytime i move my phone more than a couple feet, 4g drops, and has a hell of a time reconnecting (even one side of my bed to the other and it drops 90% of the time.) So, it's mostly a coverage issue, but it also seems to be a bit of a hardware/software failing.

Do that thing to make 4G connect at -110dbm instead of the factory setting of -89dbm. It is the How to get better 4G signal" thread.

Taking my phone to Sprint with an Odin count of 5

So I'm having issues with my phone and sprint wants me to bring it in. I have an Odin count of 5. Will they see that and if so do I just play dumb? Maybe tell them I took it to a different store and they looked at it too?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Here are the issue's I'm having. Maybe they are common...
1. I dont receive text while the phone is "hibernating". (not sure what to call it. It's when the screen goes blank)
2. LOS
3. Phone doesnt seem to want to switch towers. I'll be on 1x when I'm in a 3g area. I have to shut my phone down, then once it reboots it recognizes I'm in a 3g network....

FB27 modem

How does it perform? Can it used with GB?
Its a radio my friend. I do not believe like all the other leaks its dependent on a OS. Also like everything else the best thing to do is try it out yourself... Opinion will vary...
It works great for me. Radios can be flashed on any rom. They are not dependent on each other.

Yes modems do not matter on rom kernel theme odex deodexed and fb27 is great for me but you will have to try it out and see all phones react different
I haven't noticed any improvement with it over older modems but it seems to have improved data speeds for some others.

Im running a GB ROM and using the FB 27 modem, no issues, no complaints.
Running on blazer 4.0 with fb27 modem and I went from .03 mbps to 1mbps. So big improvement for me on 3g.

I am using calks 2.9.2 rom and FB27 and yes speed went wayyy up from 400kbs to 1800kbs using speed test. F****** amazing! I couldn't believe it. And in the night went from 1000kbs to 2200kbs

FB27 modem is definitely the best so far for me. 2.3mbps DL on 3G at my house.
This is the first modem I've tested that i got a significant increase on 3g. Went from less than 400 kbs to 1mbs. I'm in md using unnamed rom

Most of these modem test seem to have been taken late. If they stay high after say 9 am eastern these are great results.

Wow you're pretty lucky, I've never experienced half that speed on Sprint. Unless I'm traveling through a 4G area (not very often)
I went from 200kbps at work to almost 500 still kinda sucks but enough for pandora

Problems with 3g data

Anyone else have the sprint version of this phone and have problems with 3g data at times. For example it sometimes says I have full bars but Facebook will say that I don't have a connection at all. I'm wondering if its the phone or does sprint just have crappy 3g in LA? What do you guys think?

OK so switch to just CDMA helped a bit but its still happening. I think it may be a soft wear issue. I hope that's just it.

That upload speeds are faster because they're not as heavily impacted by users as download speeds are. In other words, your local site is over capacity and its resulting in slower speeds for everyone. Once sprint upgrades your site, it'll be epic.

See the same thing, pretty confused.
Speed tests show 3Mbps down and 1+-Mbps Up
but it usually sticks with h+ anytime i do something
Well I was in a major city yesterday and they have 4g but it was jumpin when I was sitting still in the middle of town
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
With the newer ROMs the phone knows when there isn't a need for 4G or H+. It drops down to 3G to save data and battery. As soon as there is a need for higher data speeds the phone automatically adjusts to meet the demand. Trust me you are getting your 4G when you need it.

3G issues

I'm having a lot of issues with my 3g. Don't think it's Rom or kernel related though. My 3g just drops and takes forever to connect and I even did the soft reset with 611 today on tw and nothing.
Any body have any ideas? Lol

Join the crowd, I think it's Sprint, here in Louisiana, they say they've finished 3g upgrades, I can't tell a difference at all. Some spots seem to be better than others. Seems at night I get better speeds. Mine does the same as what your describing, AOSP or TW has nothing to do with it for me. Luckily I can connect to Verizon's 4g most of the time.

I'm roaming on their network, because where I live, still no Sprint 4g. I just turned LTE on one day, and voila, 4g.

Have you tried Reprovisioning your data ? You can call Sprint, or you can do it yourself. Dial ##72786# in the dialpad. The Device will reboot once, or twice while it is setting up. Just let it do it's thing.

Try a different Rom. Just to rule out the possibility. If that doesn't correct it, I would ODIN back to Stock. See if that resolves the issue.
