Is anyone else having this? I still have 3g connected, but if I look at the phone periodically, the 4g has an X on it (red x, im on honeyglow) it will reconnect if I toggle it, but if it drops it will not reconnect, like from 3g or wifi.
Is this s known issue and is there a fix?
Oh, and Im on the LosTKernal OC to 1.6 (stable) and Starburst 1.6, it did it on 1.7 as well.
Thanks
Which kernels have you previously tried? I tried one that made my 4g stop connecting even after switching back to stock but I did find a fix so give me some details on what you've tried so far....

I think I have only used ZedoMax, and then this LosT Kernel, or versions of it.
I had midnight ROM, now have been running Starburst. I think another configuration I had dropped signal on data a lot and had trouble switching between WIFI 3g and 4g. But this has helped my LOS issues as best I can tell.
If I can get 4g to work (im in Dallas, lots of 4g) great, if not Ill just try to ignore it.
If you have a fix, that would be great.
Thanks!
Honestly, if I had a choice between this and the screen wake lag, I'd not worry about 4g.
The screen wake lag is rediculous, it takes 3 full seconds to wake up with my class 10 8g card in it.
Well, what I did was Odined Crawrj's odexed with root and Busybox. You would want the deodexed version obviously. Run that in PDA slot. It will keep your data but then you will have to Odin back akernel with CWM like LoSt. It fixed all of the 4g and Wifi not connecting crap I had going on from something I triedthat had borked changes

So after I successfully rooted my phone, I did flash the radio and WiFi. Custom ROMs have worked pretty well. But lately, I have noticed (and I am not sure to what degree this was going on before) that my WiFi signal is quite bouncy. This is the case no matter what WiFi access point I go to.
Is it possible that something with my phone got messed up? Is it recommended that I reflash the WiFi? Should I just try a different ROM?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
By "WiFi" do you mean "WiMax?"

I mean whichever radio is responsible for my WiFi... so is the WiFi radio and the 4g radio one in the same? If so, the question still stands... would flashing it again possibly fix fluctuation in signal?
Im still having this problem. Anyone else? In fact, I was at a friend's house and was using his WiFi router for access and it was slow. I told him we probably need to reboot his router but he didn't think so. My speed test with his router was 800Kbps - ~ 1Mbps... and I know I was testing his WiFi... not my 3G.
He then testing from his iPhone 3GS and was getting ~ 7Mbps (about what should be expected)... so clearly the problem was my phone.
Did a clear cache and dalvik and still not better. My radio is still bouncing.
Anyone have any ideas?
???
As far as I know, there is no such radio for WiFi???
WiFi improvements come through software updates from HTC, but I've never seen a flashable update??
You can only flash the evo radio and wimax.
Wifi on the Evo sucks. I have the range issue regardless of what rom I use. My iphone doesn't have an issue.

This must be hit-or-miss. I vaguely remember some others complaining about WiFi (wtf..lol). I get a great connection at my house, I can use WiFi out in the yard, and the only time I've gotten less than 8megs down I was also watching a movie on Netflix and dl'ing a torrent.. and even then I got over 4m/s
my wifi was fine until i flashed to this latest leak.
I have had my phone since launch and whenever I turned on 4g my phone will seems to be a bit jerky or lag. I thought it is because I am in a 4g test area (LA), but now that it is official, I am still experiencing the same problem. Also, 4g seems to be dropping in/out throughout 405, even sensorly map viewer have reported solid coverage throughout. Anyone has similar experience?
I'm not in the LA area, but I've noticed the same lag in the device with the 4G radio on as well. Apps take longer to load, tend to freeze for a few seconds, scrolling is choppy, and so on. I am also in a 4G market.
Running stock 2.2 and hardware version 003. I end up not bothering to use my 4G radio, since I don't really need the speeds.
In the LA area and have the same problem, even when I have a good signal still lags quite a bit at times. But then at times it works flawlessly.

I was in Minneapolis over thanksgiving and it was choppy tand spotty there too. I found that if you restart your phone with 4G on it wont be choppy, but when you switch back to 3G I got terrible batter life till I restarted my phone again, like 10 or less hours of batter life with me barely touching my phone. There are still some bugs to be worked out with 4G, thats for sure
It happens too in Miami
Same problem here. It used to be fine a couple of months ago with my wife phone ... the only difference is that her phone is rooted now.
Had same problem
I had the same problem. After six months I realized it was due to running adfree. The host file was blocking the ads and for some reason freezing or lagging the web page. No problem with 3g or wifi, only when using 4g. I have since reverted the the original host file and unistalled adfree and bam. 4g is smoking fast even with the ads. Don't know if any others have had similar experiences but it was finally nice to figure it out and enjoy 4g speeds.
Amazing! I always thought it was a flaky 4G but it was just 4G choking on the adfree block list in dns. 4G seems much smoother now and pages that refused to come up work fine with the adfree block list reverted! Any idea why it doesnt affect 3G/WiFi?
Keep in mind after you turn wimax off, the wimax chip is still running. If you download alogcat from the market you can see the wimax chip constantly trying to initialize but erroring out. The only way to turn it off is by rebooting the phone. This happens on both the Evo and Evo-Shift.
*edit - reboot to turn off wimax.

Only way is reboot. You do have a great idea. I'm curious as why the devs have not tried to implement a kill switch so it really stops.

Yeah this would be a good thing. My phone doesn't act like that when 4g is on though, I'm oc'd to 1.19 but it's on interactive and it barely goes over 998.
I'm running cm7 nightly v28. For some reason the 3g does no work. The only way I can access data is to pick up some 4g. Is this a common problem? Fix?
Reflash the rom. I haven't had the issue but that could work.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Reflash the rom, and if its not in your power widget, check mobile data under wifi settings.
Sometimes mine do go right away so I turn it off and on quickly and that seems to do the trick.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks for the responses. I tried reflashing but that didn't work. The turned mobile data on and off but got nothing. I even tried going in airplane mode and then out and nada. I think I might try flashing a different rom to get it working. Could it also be my PRL?
Its shouldn't affect it, but being on the latest PRL never hurts.
Make sure that its on in wireless networks...
This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine....
Mobile network is stuck on turning on -__-
Well try to reboot it real quick. And sometimes it can take it a minute or two to actually turn on.
I've rebooted several times. I've done full wipes and even to different roms. It just won't budge. :-/
I was having issues with 3G connectivity earlier. Getting lots of code 67's and data call notices. 4G was working fine so I switched on and used that. 3G is fine and back to normal now.

Did anyone come up with a concrete answer on this issue? I too have this problem and tried all the suggestions except 4g... it's not available in my area. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
Try flashing a sense rom and updating your profile and prl

So I just got my Sprint GS2 on Wednesday. Rooted it and flashed a ROM (Blazer) immediately (not too worried about LOS really). Everything worked awesome. 3G/4G great, Hotspot hack working fine, no problems. Today I wake up, go to class, and realize I have no 3G coverage. Weird, my brother on Sprint had coverage fine there. No 3G or 4G coverage on the way home, or at my house where both are strong. Turn on WiFi, hangs at obtaining IP. Same at work etc. tonight.
Anyone have any similar problems? I've rebooted, shut down for 5+ minutes, etc multiple times. Any suggestions on where to go from here?
Edit: Finally connected with WiFi by setting static IP address, reading more into it 3G seems like roaming issues, may try a custom PRL, 4G ??? there's pretty good 4G coverage in my suburban area and all the sudden I get it nowhere.
just a shot in the dark same thing happened to me.. only fix i found was to flash the rom agsin with out doing a wipe. its my story to the t. same rom same issues same everthing. hope that helps u out, got me fixed up
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I was just thinking I'd try that. I'm gonna go ahead and do a full wipe too, just to be on the safe side.
you don't need to at max just wipe cache and davik so you can save your data and still be back up and running

Not sure I'm following you.. Do a profile? Profile where, for what? PRO update what?
Anyway, same damn issue today. This is getting really old, really fast. Almost wish I would have just got a Nexus S if I'm going to be having radio problems galore on a phone that can't roam for crap. Time to go reflash my ROM, again...
So I've noticed on every stock GB ROM and every custom ROM ive tried (including some early ics roms) that whenever my phone decides to switch from 4g to 3g or if I switch the wifi off, basically every time the radio switches, the internet stops loading whatever it was loading. does anyone else have this issue? It gets pretty annoying sometimes although coverage has been pretty good lately.
I could try and list all the roms ive used but it doesnt matter, the problem is consistent.

from what i've read, it's just an inherent problem with this, and most, phones that are capable of using both networks, when forced to switch from one to the other, the "handoff" is never clean.

After reading this I went online and switched the wifi on and off while loading pages and videos and it just picked up where it left off.

Ok, so I started a market download over wifi. Turned the wifi off at 10%. Now it starts trying to connect 3g first, which connects almost instantly and the download resumes. But when 4g connects a second later, it just goes to sleep and the download stays where its at until something else wakes up the 4g. Not a huge deal I guess just bothersome that it even happens.

I wrote a download manager before and made the download thread delay and re-attempt if the connection was by abolished. Maybe stock touchwiz browser doesn't do that
