I seemed to have lost data access on the 4g network. I have no problem with data on 3g, it will connect to 4g, but no data. I thought at first it was a service issue in the are, but it lasted a few days, I restored to stock using these instructions :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351761
I went to the sprint sales store, they couldn't figure out why it was happening. All the phones in the store had no issue on 4g, and told me to go to a sprint repair store. Could flashing a newer modem fix this issue, or does it sound like a hardware problem? I am hesitant to try anything else that sprint might be able to see I had done before putting it in for repair.
thanks

A few weeks ago my evos data became ridiculously slow. I was the latest stable cm6 (6.1.2 iirc) and it was out of nowhere since I did not install any new apps or make any changes. I did a nandroid back to when I first rooted and I still had no 3g (wifi, bluetooth, wimax, 1x all work).
The tech I talked to at Sprint had me try updating everything and even a factory reset (which I already tried before calling). I have Best Buys phone insurance (never again. Sprints is much better after having to use both at one point or another) so I took it to best buy and when I get my phone home the data and phone are slow. After a few days I notice in ##debug# evdo engineering has <failed> on everything and I was running 3.26.xx.x I just ran the ruu to the latest 3.70 and it is snappy again but still no 3g.
Once I get time I am going to take it to the sprint repair center but I am curious if anyone else has had this problem. A search on here and Google doesn't come up with anything.

Have you tried updating your profile? Also, are your radio/baseband, PRI, NV & WiMax files updated to the latest versions? You can check it by going to Menu-Settings-About Phone-Software Information. The NV will not be listed, by the way.
Yes, everything is the latest. I even tried the port and proxy reset to 0 and 0.0.0.0 respectively method with no change.
It seems like my radio just doesn't work on 3g anymore. I hope to get to the sprint service center before the weekend.

I hear ya. Hopefully, they'll provide you with a new EVO instead of a refurbished one.
Call sprint's advanced tech support.
877-809-6696 ats advanced tech supp
Ask them to do a full profile reset or update. They ask you to power the phone off for a few min (they even asked me to pull the battery, but I didn't see a need for that). Then when it reboots, it will do the ota provisioning, which should correct things.

They did that as well. The tech said it was basically like a new line.
It is odd because every other thread I see online has had it fixed by one of the common methods or by calling sprint.
I have a tux fitting tomorrow for my brothers wedding and the sprint service center isn't too far from that so I should be able to get it checked out then.
It may be Sprint and their network. A lot of people have been stating that they are either getting really fast speeds or really slow speeds. If I understood everything correctly I think that Sprint is going through several updates for a while to be more competitive and provide better service. It may not be your phone. If you have any friends with the same phone then does a speed test to the same server side by side and see if that is different. If the results are the same it is the network, but if the other phone is faster then it is your phone that is having the problems.

My friends evo is perfect right next to mine in san jose to sacramento. I have no 3g anywhere I have been lately (Monterey all the way to South Lake Tahoe).
I was having the Same Issue with my wife phone but she was running CM7 RC2. I was able only fix it by installing sprint Lover.
Then as itohead said try to install Sprint Lovers and see if that works. If not then I think that there is something wrong with your phone and you may need a new one, or wait till the Evo 3D comes out and get one of those.
I forgot to update this. Sorry guys.
Took it to a sprint repair center and the tech said he's never seen that before and ordered me a new one on the grounds that my usb port was "broken".

I've contacted Sprint about four times so are for this problem and I'm looking for ideas. When I roam onto Verizon's network, I get voice and text, but no data services. I have an everything data family package, so I have data services. My wife's E4GT does exactly the same thing. The settings on the phones have domestic roaming data enabled. All we get are triangle icons warning us of no data services. This doesn't sound like the LoS issue people are describing. Has anyone else seen this?
I havent had any issues my phones data works while roming

I have this feeling that this won't turn out to be a phone problem. Something in the back of my mind is just screaming that it's a provisioning error, even though the Sprint techs don't see one.

Me Epic Touch that is using Verizon Towers is constantly dropping signal, I have tried every modem from EK - FD but nothing has seem to help. I tried with Page Plus original Prl which shows roaming and didn't help and also loaded other Prl's that doesn't show roaming all the time that Straight Talk uses, but it does the same thing. I have had many Sprint Phones activated on Verizon side and never had any problems like I am having now and My Cousin has The same phone also which is on Page Plus and his phone behaves the same way. Was wondering if any of you that have this phone and flashed it to Verizon are experiencing the same thing? If anyone has any opinions or could weigh in on what I might be able to try or maybe tweak on this phone that might help I would greatly appreciate thanks. Forgot to mention that I have tried both stock and Ics roms and when signal drops it will have a circle with lone threw it but I don't have to reboot phone signal always come back seconds later but trying to hold a conversation on this phone is bout impossible without 2 dropped calls in a 30 minute period.
Is the phone activated on Verizon or are you just using their towers for some particular reason? Keep in mind there are issues outside of the phone that may affect connectivity - I just had this happen with our local Sprint tower last week. Took a week for Sprint to confirm the problem was the tower and fix it.
If you made a nandroid backup before you changed the prl (witch is what you should do before messing around with anything to do with your phone) flash back to it, see if that helps at all.
HTC Hero -> Epic 4G -> Epic 4G Touch
It is activated on Verizon unlimited plan. I also have a nanroid back up of the stock rom behaved the same way. At first I though it was Page Plus being I never used them and gave them a try instead of always worying about data issues with ST. I let my time run out on Page Plus and and switched to Verizon new 50 unlimited pre-pay but still acts the same way.
Well, at first I thought my phone was just getting terrible service when I went to Ohio for work, but then I got random texts from 2 people wondering who I was, because I'm assuming they got a text somehow from my number.
It's constantly Searching for Service, getting no data, or if I'm lucky it will be on 3G for a little bit, but I have yet to see LTE even when 5 days prior I was getting great signal.
I already restored to a backup on the same ROM, but the problem still persists.
Whats the best plan of action? I'm stumped. Should I just reset it to factory settings, if so, what would be the best way to do so considering my firmware is updated?
So you never sent any sms to those people? I don't know on CDMA but GSM Sims can be copied pretty easily by someone with bad intentions and radio towers accepts both sims. It could be an error from sprint. These are strange happenings

After many hours of reading and trouble shooting I'm ready to throw my note 3 out a window. I (like a dumb ass) purchased my note 3 from Craigslist. Three months to the day the device was blacklisted do to non payment. After arguing with the police and tmobile I decided to pay to have the imei remotely fixed. Now the phone works but will not automatically connect to 4g or lte. The guy that fixed the imei sweres up and down that his fix has never effected data in this way. If I force lte in the service mode it connects some of the time. Once it's connected if I get a phone call the data drops to G and will not go back to lte. I've checked apns, had metro pcs reset my account, tried different roms, kernels, and modems. If anyone has any advice I would be forever greatful.
