[Q] No Service, No Data, WiFi Slow...

So, i rooted my phone today, bricked it a couple times, then fixed it(this doesnt matter)
Ok, so i was really excited to get this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864445
(I got the trinity, NOTthe Frozen one)
Long story:
So, I install the rom on my phone, no problems...but it seems I'm missing something and I've looked everywhere because i can't sign into Gmail, even with WiFi...Then again, I have no service...3g, or 4g, or for calling. Absolutely no bars in one of the strongest areas of my house. I'm thinking I'm missing some type of modem... I cant find it, I think i found it previously but from a different website, and they didn't even give instructions. Please help me because this is an awesome rom and I don't want to go back to stock rom.
Short story:
-no service, or data service, either.
-Missing some type of "modem" to enable data
-Airplane mode wont turn off. When clicked, it keeps going on and off. Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this helps but I was getting major signal drop on 4g. Come to think of it 3g too. I don't think you are missing anything if it boots up and opens. Sometimes devs make tweaks internally that may not be known to us. I know when signal is constantly searching you get major battery drain
UFE (Unidentified Flying Epic)

Well, at least it's not just me.
For me the only way I've found that reliable works is to Odin back to DI18 and start from scratch.
Unfortunately, I basically can't touch CWM afterwards, because doing anything in it seems to bring the bug back.
Hopefully there's a fix out there for those of us that are continually plagued by this rather bizarre issue.
Seems rather strange that reflashing the modem with Odin doesn't even do the trick.

Just to.let u know you said you bricked your phone a few times. If you brick a phone it doesn't come back. You can't brick a phone a couple times. To answer your question sounds lime you need to reflash the.modem. go into.settings and about phone and see what your baseband version is. It should the same as the software you are on. If you are on dk28 then it should be dk28. Also I would upgrade to eb13 since dk28 is ikd school now and to many bugs that were not fixed. Just my 2 cents. Good luck

[Q] 3G slow to respond

Hey everyone, I'm new here to the forum and have had my EVO for about 6 months now. First things first, I have searched quite a bit and havent really found problems specific to mine on here or google. Maybe I am just not searching for the right thing so bare with me please. A few months after I got it, I started realizing the 3g would take a long time to respond sometimes. For example, I would type in a web address and hit go and the 3g icon on the status bar would not do anything for sometimes up to 1 minute causing the browser to display (page not found). Other apps that require internet do this as well. One day I decided to do a factory reset and the problem went away. After a few weeks, it came back so i did another reset and fixed it. Now back to the same old problem. Finally got tired of doing resets so I'm trying to find out the real solution to the problem. I constantly clean the cache. Previously I did it manually, but now I use cache cleaner which seems to do a good job. I have also tried speed boost lite which doesnt do a bad job either but uninstalled since i like cache cleaner better. Profile and PRL updates help only for a short time even though it didnt really update after checking software versions. I've taken the phone to sprint, they've checked it out, said its fine, and that 10-30 seconds is normal and nothing to complain about. Maybe that would be the case if it was NORMAL but it is not. Has anyone heard of this or have any ideas to fix it? Sorry for all of the reading but if you have any advice at all, it is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well there 3g service is down the drain right now and the lack of good ping could be the reason so my guess is 3g sucks it happens to my evo a lot so I use wifi and 4g when I can

Thanks for your reply. I'm am happy with the 3G most of the time. At my house, it is almost as fast my wifi (no i dont have slow internet at home either lol). I have no problem streaming HQ Pandora, youtube, and netflix in crystal clear quality on 3G. It is not the network, it is an issue with the phone, a setting, or an app that is causing the problem. If I was to factory reset the phone right now, the problem would go away. I just dont want to reset it anymore and have to reinstall everything. Time to try to figure out the real problem and stop taking the lazy way around

That is weird could be your phone you could back up your apps with titanium backup and restore away or try to unroot then reroot

i just reset, I did forget to mention in the OP that i am not rooted. Haven't gotten the balls to do it yet. I haven't found a good thread to read up on to root yet. Not that i've been looking that hard. I would like to root very soon though

Best way to root I think is unrevoked you need a computer but its easy as pie there are also guides on YouTube
sent from my Motorola XOOM

ya i tried that before but every time i try something goes wrong and i cant do it. Even when i follow videos my phone just doesnt do the same thing as theirs for some reason. lol who knows

Just for ****s and giggles I gave it another go on rooting with unrevoked. Actually got it this time. I have no clue what happened last time. Went smoothly this time. So just basic root, nothing fancy. All i really wanted out of the root was wireless tether. Still want to figure out the unresponsive 3G issue though before it happens again

Glad to hear your on the dark side (rooted) you can learn a lot just by being rooted

Ya its nice so far but the reset did not fix the unresponsive 3G. Ugh its so annoying! Nobody has any ideas?!

Flash your first rom and do a nandroid

I am now running cm7 nightly build 83 off of rom manager. I love it!

I'm not having the 3g issue now. Internet seems much faster on this rom

Problems after 2.3.6 update

I got the update pushed to my phone yesterday and ever since there has been nothing but problems! First, the battery drains at a ridiculous rate. I unplugged it at 10:30 am and by 3:00 pm I was down to 60% without anything going on except 7 text messages. I can usually go 24 between charges. Second, the overall speed of the phone has slowed to a crawl. Web pages take forever to load, the app marked just hangs on the loading screen, and apps even take minuets just to open. Third, my phone randomly loses data connection. I cannot load any apps that require a data connection even when the wifi and 3G logo are showing with full bars. I get an error massage that says "connection failed" or "retry." it's so bad that when trying to sync notes or email my phone has the scroll wheel of death and freezes on that page. I've had the phone since thanksgiving and haven't done anything to it, its completely stock, I don't even know how to jailbreak it! I haven't had any issues whatsoever before I updated and now my phone is pretty much unusable. Is anyone else experiencing this? I need there to be an update to fix this update or for someone to tell me how to downgrade back to 2.3.4

It isn't a problem with the download or the integrity check on the OTA would have failed and the upload wouldn't have proceeded.
It is likely what you said that the update didn't play well with what you had on the phone.
Personally I would backup your user data, ODIN the EG30 Factory Restore from the Wiki, then manually install the OTA update immediately afterwards. Make sure everything works then restore your *user apps* only. Don't restore EG30 system components.

Check Battery Usage
Under Settings go to Applications ---> Battery Usage. Sometimes you can find a culprit there, sometimes you'll find something you should be turning off. Like one of the posts above mine though installing the stock EG30 and then upgrading to the EK02 would probably be your best route for a stable unrooted upgraded build. I would highly recommend something like StrongSteve's rom as my device is like a lightening bolt.

[Q] Major problem!!!

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.
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. however, normal text's would go through, just not any pics. i could send and receive normal words with no issues.
then, 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/show...ght=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?

since i made the post, i been playing around with the phone. ive reflashed the rom, reinstalled the nothin but honey theme, no changes.....
have NO internet what so ever, no market place, etc...
only way i can get online on the phone is through wifi.....
somethin has happened.... please help??
of course i cant call sprint tech support because of the root so thats not an option.

I'd love to help
You can always backup (Nandroid) then Odin back to stock. Then flash a different rom. WITHOUT THE THEME Hope this helps

thanks, but if at all possible, id rather see if it can be fixed before i do all that. i found another thread that said just reflash it and such, which i did-- no change...
again, only way i can get online is by wifi--- so far, dont seem to have any other issues but desperately need to get the regular internet connection to work, dont know what happened, just quit totally today for whatever reason.

anyone, please?

Try flashing just a different Modem.
Then Update Profile and PRL.

You'll want to check the General forum where you posted this exact same question. Some good advice there.

Check the general forums as suggested or just Reflash the Modem (radio's).

SMS Problems...

Intro:
I have the Samsung Epic 4G. Great phone, running into problems. I originally started out rooted and modded with the CyanogenMOD 10 Nightly. Everything was going great and I love the mod but I started getting MMS problems where I couldn't see the pictures being sent or the ones I was sending. There was an easily located temporary fix found online to delete the telephony file and restart the phone. No biggie I can deal. Then bigger problems started arising as I was no longer getting all of my text messages. Sometimes none. I contacted Sprint and they ran through the whole ordeal of giving me some codes to input which of corse wouldn't work on the MOD and I couldn't update the profile so they said they'd check the tower where I was located and turned out nothing was wrong with it.... My wife and I are having a baby so being unable to contact her without calling constantly is a no go.
Main:
I flashed the stock for the SPH-D700 and all of my problems were fixed. This is a no bueno for me because it's full of bloatware and the phone without modification dies before my workday is out practically, even without heavy usage (and forget heavy usage because that was like shooting the battery into the sun and who the hell wants a smart phone that works for only like an hour?). After looking around I located the stock FC09 Deodexed MTD which comes with ShadowKernel (aweeeesome!) and flashed that. Didn't have any issues and all my texts were coming and going through. This was tested at work using a series of seperate sequential alphanumeric texts and all was good. I installed the usual suspects, Voltage Control, Juice Defender, SD Maid, ES Explorer, the WiFi hack, etc... Not being a fan of the stock messaging app I also downloaded the standard Chomp SMS app (which is def a step up and ad free) as well. I knocked the voltages down reasonably and tested them using Voltage control to do that and control the CPU (no overclocking). I got rid of all of the apps that the XDA Wiki said I could and backed everything up. All was well until yesterday. I charged the phone the previous night and went to work doing the normal kinda day act. I sent my wife some messages but figured she was busy when she didn't respond. Hours later I realized that she probably had responded because she never goes that long without doing so. I asked a few friends to text me and I texted myself as well and now I wasn't getting ANY texts. I did the phone dance with Sprint to no avail and they told me to take the phone to my local store. This would be the second Epic 4G that they would be replacing. The first one had this problem too but fixed itself when I flashed the stock rom. Then there was some water damage which thankfully insurance covered and I got my replacement earlier this week when I worked on modifying my phone to something I found acceptable. I think this rules out a hardware issue. On a whim I restored to a backup that I had made after getting my phone neat and tidy and some odd things happened. I started getting texts, but not the ones that I had already missed, and I was getting some later ones first before getting the first ones sent, I.E. i'd send 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and get back 5, 2, 3, 4, 1 but they would arrange themselves in the correct order onces they came. It was also taking them forever to come in as I would send them and have to wait five to ten minutes for them to come.
Conclusion:
Tired, frustrated, and somewhat perturbed I reflashed the stock rom and the problem again has fixed itself. My question is has anyone else run into this? I've looked everywhere and can't find a similar case. Am I just not seeing something that's directly in front of me? Ideally i'd really like to put Cyanogen back on but I can't afford not to be in contact with my pregnant wife. I'd also reaaaally like the WiFi cabailities that were advertised with the phone but then neglected to mention that I would have to pay 30$ extra a month for. Is this a similar issue to the MMS telephony file issue that can be resolved with perhaps a nightly deletion of a file? Is there anything I can do NOT to be on the stock rom with the worthless battery life and bloatware that chokes?????
Sincerely,

So that's a big wall-o-text. I didn't read it, and just skipped down to your conclusion. You can flash another CM based 4.2.2 rom to test SMS/MMS. It all works fine for me on Slim. If you want TouchWiz, then flash The People's ROM. This rom has no bloat and better battery life than stock. All of these roms have the Wifi access point built in.

I'm dloading the latest CM 10.1 RC4 to give it another shot. I'm not confident that this won't happen again either immediately or within a few days. Thank you for your input.

I guess my concern is that this happened across both roms, FC09Deodexed and CM10.

Ok so no luck. Flashed CM10 and no bueno. Not getting all of the messages I send to myself. Massive delay between send and receive.

Then you're left to using Odin to get back on stock. Check auto-reboot, repartition, and f. reset time. After you are back on stock FC09, you may as well update PRL, but be sure to update profile. Test on 100% stock again.
If things work like they should on stock, then Odin in CWM without auto-reboot checked. Battery pull, then reinsert. From there boot into recovery and flash a rom of choice. Test again on newly flashed rom.
If things are not working properly on stock rom, then bring it into a Sprint store for service.

Sorry to say but all of that's been done and put in the original post (which you only speed read through the last part). I appreciate your help though. This is the second Epic 4G to do this to me on everything but the stock rom which makes me think it's not hardware but if it's not happened to anyone else then not much else I can do.

Haha, yea well it was a big wall of text.
I've burned through my ideas, lol. Good luck to ya.

Np, I really appreciate the advice. So far i've rerooted, reflashed the FC09DeodexedMTD and did a straight sprint (no lollygagging with install and uninstall of apps) to a barebones what I want system, apps include then backed up via CWM. So far it's still working great though i'll keep my fingers crossed. Should anything happen I have a backup from the getgo that should put things back to the way they were, ie. working. Stupid problem, of corse it has to only be me with it.
