I've had more LOS on the LoSt kernal than on the stock kernal.

I had data working fine and phone didn't work at all. LOS seems like a complex issue to narrow down.

OMG not another one!!!! i wish you people would stop making new LOS threads like theres not a million of them already!

Would be nice if Administration could just merge them all into one thread but probably not possible.

What you are experiencing is Ghost LoS (phone appears to be connected but is, in fact, not). The general consensus is that LoS occurs when your phone attempts to come back from roaming/low service to an area where you have good service. Coming in and out of a subway area (from low service to good service) could exacerbate LoS.
There is an updated modem (EG31) that you can try flashing via ODIN to see if it fixes your problem.

Awesome
Please post a followup as people are still testing whether or not this modem helps the LoS issue!

I been running EG31 for about 11 Hrs now and not a LOS yet and I usually get at least one a day. Its too soon to tell with the new radio.
Edit: I think I had a LOS earlier, but more like a ghost LOS. I couldn't send any texts and the data connection was dead, but still had bars. That sucks.

I dont go to school saturday or sunday so youll have to wait till mid monday

It seems like a lot of defective phone were shipped to people who still haven't exchanged them.
How about no los? Is that a good enough motivation to exchange your phone for a working version?
[Of course, it may be a "stupid user error"; may have nothing to do with the hardware of the phone itself]

After flashing the modem don't forget to dial ##72786# then enter your MSL, this has helped a lot of people with LoS as well.
To get your MSL type getprop ril.MSL in terminal emulator.

Whenever I use the LoSt kernel, i get a lot of LoS
Stock kernel, I haven't a single problem yet
And yes, the LoSt kernel goes off, reboots (script). Fine for 15 minutes, LoS, reboots, another 15-30, LoS
Stock kernel....days....no LoS for me.

Same thing for me. I've been almost a week on stock kernal and no los. On the LoSt kernal I'd have it once a day.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
LoS is worse for me on EG31 than EG30. I can't get 4G to work ever since the first time I experienced LoS no matter what modem I use.
*Just read the thread about 4G not working in Boston, which is where I happened to be visiting this weekend. So LoS and my 4G issues seem to be unrelated.

It was Boston. When I got to Atlanta 4G worked fine.

LoS on EG31 is the same as it was for me on EG30. ~Once a day.
minor improvements but nothing to brag about. 4G works fine.. 3G speed crappy as before anywhere from 50 to 150KB/s ...
Hmm, that sucks that its the same week thanks for the help

I am right that if you flash EG31 you cannot go back to EG30. I know there is EG12\30 but it is not the same as EG30 that came with the phone right?

The EG12/EG30 is the exact same thing that came with the phone.
All you have to do is flash it in Odin, I've went back and forth between them twice already.

You need to update profile after EG31 and then reboot
I haven't had a single LoS since going to EG31. Even using other kernels. Use to get LoS on EG30 with any other kernel other than stock.
P.S. watch me get a LoS now lol

Early to tell but the biggest thing I notice is wifi signal strength for me is much better. I would get 1 bar of wifi on my bed on all prior versions and right now I have 3 bars. Other than that I haven't done any major testing. If I leave my phone on all night when I get up in the morning I have to turn my wifi off to get data back. I can then enable wifi and be good. That happened often before EK02 and now it only does it every morning. So tomorrow morning I will know if it is fixed. Other than that I haven't noticed anything else but haven't done any testing either.

Yeah it is showing more bars but half the time here on XDA it hangs and I have stop and refresh to wake it up. Also on speedtest it hung 2 outa 3 times for me. But more bars showing. No Idea? Speed is the same though, when it does not hang.
No lockups for me so far. I have been on xda most of the day and just ran 4 speedtest's and no problems.

Damn, I have found myself leaving Wifi on 24/7 and when I leave, 4g connects instantly. When I walk back in my place, Wifi picks right back up. Considering I am pulling Wifi from my downstairs tenant, maybe I would be a good person to test if the range/signal strength is better on the leak..decisions decisions

My wifi hasnt changed but my signal has went from 2 bars up to 4 using el13....

Ok all I guess the third time is the charm. wifi is much better and no more browser lag. The only thing I did differently was my oldschool 3 cash wipes and 3 dalvic cash wipes. No more auto wipes for me.
I think ya really gotta clean some cobwebs out to get a good flash.
Thanks for the replies most gratis. Every little bit helps.

Anyone else?

Never once.
Are you using the EL13 baseband?
Also, What kernel?
Yup, using Calkulin's stock with chris4g's repack and EL13 modem. Maybe it was just a fluke, I was at my parents house which is in a decent service area, pulled out my phone to see the circle with the cross through it. Had to reboot to get service back. Eh, I'll just keep an eye on it.

I haven't had LOS since. I'm on EL26 now, and signal is stronger now.
Still LOSing here... I've tried EG30, 31, Ek02, EL13, and EL26. I get LOS on every one as soon as I go to work. The signal there is very week and the phone has to work hard to maintain a signal all day.

There is another topic we were discussing this issue. Basically the problem isn't fixed but they are attempting to tweak it so instances of LOS are getting smaller and smaller. Sounds like becuase of the location you are having a higher probability of tower disconnect or switching to roam which increases the likelyhood of you experiencing a LOS.
Yes, EL13 still suffers from LOS (aka it is not really fixed). Personally I haven't had one in EL26 (had a couple in EL13) but if you are experiencing it in EL26 then it isn't fixed there either.

Love Hate relationship. Return it?

I absolutely LOVE everything about this phone EXCEPT the LOS issues!!
I've only had it for 5 days now and experienced 3 LOS!
Since I'm still within 14 days, should I return it? thinking of getting the Photon instead.
From personal experience I'd say hang on to it and try flashing some of the newer releases to see if it doesn't improve the LOS issue.

I know you are asking because apparently you need the help of others to make up your mind... (sorry I am a smartass) But quick question what rom are you on cuz buddy LOS is a thing of the past up in herrrre... And that PHoton are you serious would you trade in your S clase Benz for a C Class Benz....
Root that sucka and flashing one of the stock EL29 roms or do the upgrage on your phone for the complete stock version... Oh yea and if you gonna ask where the roms are then maybe you should return your phone...LOL (smartass again)
exactly, flash something different (I'd recommend calks) and that issue goes away :O

Doesn't even need to flash roms, root, and all that. Just OTA to EL29 and it should get rid of the issue.

I think almost everyone on this forum experienced frequent LOS until Sprint issued a firmware update that fixed it. I haven't experienced LOS since and it would happen to me several times a day. Update your firmware and you should see this go away. (my recommendation is to go with Calk's non-ICS firmware since it's probably the most stable at the moment)

Sounds like you need to get your phone replaced. The loss of service was fixed with ek02. el29 was the update after ek02 and it's the most recent update. You shouldn't be having any problems.
And you're flat out insane if you step down to a photon.

Yea, I would try flashing Calk's EL29. It should solve the LOS issues while improving the phone in mutliple other areas as well.
If that doesn't work, just take ot back to Sprint and replace it with another one. I would highly recommend staying with this phone though, not the Photon.

Exactly my thought... OP, as you are on EL29 you should not be experiencing LOS. Are you sure what you are experiencing is actually LOS, and not just poor Sprint service?
I'm not an expert flasher but the devs here have made it so simple I've been able to play around with several of the ICS releases but I always return to sfhub's stock-rooted EL29 and get amazing performance out of it.

I'm sure this question has been answered b4 and I'm sorry. So just hear me out. I've had problems over the past week with getting my phone to receive SMS and calls. I can make calls but I'm not able to receive them. I was on the phone with the sprint the other night and they were doing all these things to try and fix it. They had me do dial pad codes and my phone did not respond to those. They had me send some SMS messages to myself the text went through but didn't go back to my phone. And when I reflashed the modem and rom on Sunday afternoon I lost 3g I used to get almost 5-6 bars in my house on 3g and now I barely get 1 bar. I am on Stock Gb27 rooted stock kernel but I was on agats Gb27. I need help I would like to avoid getting a new phone. Thank you in advanced

So I did what you said. It only fixed it for a day. Only ##722136# works in Gb27 dialer. Before it didn't. Would I be able to install ICS dialer apk and not mess up the JB dialer. I might have to get a new phone if it keeps this up and if I do which phone should I get.

i dont think the ics dialer idea would work...you can keep trying different modems and see what happens or tell sprint that they suck and demand an airave..they will probaly charge you for it..
As for which phone to get...there is no way for me to answer that man...But i'll tell you this. When i get my next phone it will be the water/dust resistent S4..But i dont see a new phone helping the signal..
You could change you're prl to a roaming one..there are guides here and there online..But this only works for sprint not boost..If you're on sprint..a custom prl would be my move..

Signal isn't the problem. I have 2 sprint towers in my area closest one is 1/4-1/2 mile down the road from my house.

well..then before you go flashing a custom prl and having sprint freak if you use to much roaming data..lol
I would odin a one-click back to stock rooted ics...you might have something left over from rom flashes messing with you're signal. Make sure you back everything up on you're pc...because you need to use the wipe data one-click..i think its called ''no data''. I'll look to make sure.
edit..nope. Its full restore...not nodata..im a dummy..

Ya know I'm not trying to annoy you dude. But screw it I'll just use a different app for SMS for now. I'm just gonna save up for a new phone. And get a job at the sprint store right by my highschool lol. Employees get new phones for free.

lol..im not annoyed...hope you get it worked out...
Sorry..i seen you have signal now..ive been jumping around and helping others in about 3 different forums. If you're problem is just sms or mms. I would wipe the cache for the sms app in app manager. Then boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.Reboot. If it is still wonky..try checking you're apn settings..if they are wrong.change them and reboot.
Should I just look online to see if they're wrong.
