Have you ever lost 3g & 1x completely when you shouldn't?

I'm sure sprint is just doing maintenance on the tower but this is the second time that I've lost data after midnight. I know it isn't the phone because I checked another sprint phone and its doing the same thing. Right now I'm on 4g. I should speed test it. Its either that or wifi. In the morning I'm sure it will be back up.

It actually happened to me earlier like a full blown los with the circle with the line through it but it came back like right after it happened which it usually doesn't

I don't have the los symbol, I only have the bars and no 3g or 1x. 4g works sporatically.

Its been happening to me too, along with the occasional LOS

Same issue here. I first thought I messed up my modem by flashing ek02 from eg30, but I noticed with fb21 modem that it's more stable. However, my wi-fi is less stable. Weird stuff.

I've been getting 1x several times lately, which usually never happens.

I've been seeing 1x show up sporadically over the past couple of weeks, too. Poos up for a minute or two, then goes back to 3g. This is in places where I've always had steady 3g coverage.
I'm in the Milwaukee area.

I've been having a similar problem. Additionally, it's been taking longer for my phone to reconnect to 3g after losing WiFi or 4g connectivity.

It turns out that after 12 hours I still didn't have data. I called *2 and they said there wasn't an outtage. I am at work so I wouldn't get home to call on different phone to troubleshoot for another ten hours. I went back into recovery and did full wipe of everything and the full format zip. I then installed a rom full install and flashed the el29 modem then rebooted. It worked. I think when restoring a nandroid then flashing a modem it hosed the 3g. Its fixed now. Funny how when I tried to restore it said one was corrupted. Weird

Same to me me today. Had full signal but no data or txting ... Was like wtf

I'm near Houston, the other day I was roaming inside a store where I get great service. Been 1xing a bit lately
But today for half the day and counting, my 3g is broke, but 1x works cause I can get text, call.
My 4g is the only data I have.
My 3g icon stays on even if I disable 3g data. Really weird

I been getting this too, I just thought that it was because I was in Vegas and I was super wasted and just seeing things lol

Had it happen a bit in VA. Not certain why but seemed to happen in the same place throughout a day or two. May be a coincidence but havent seen it since moving to the FB21 modem.
Edit: of course right after posting this it happened........

I am on 4g here at work and home. My second line with an HTC Touch Pro has been solidly on 1x for days now though. Not sure what the heck is up with that.

I work for a cell phone provider and we partner with sprint as a roaming partner.. We had tons of calls coming in on the day you made the post of data loss.. Tier 1 troubleshooting and a little bit of probing questions and finally a call to tech support we found most with he issue were roaming.. We checked our AAA tool and switch and verified with the customer that they were roaming on the sprint network.. After calling tech.. We were advised that sprint had a nationwide data outage.. People were having no data at all, intermittent, slow, timed out connections, and they ha no ETA.. It caused a bunch of havoc, i cant have my phone on at work but before and after it did work fo me.. Im in phx with no 4g here.. However im either at work or at home.. And when im home im on wifi.. So i rarely have time to test sprints network.. I also have the airave at home.. What i do know tho, is sprints network isnt the best, and they would never admit to a network fail like that.. Then again could have been there associate and didnt know what he was saying..
Edit: entire ride home, and on airave is 1x.. Ive had 3g icon come on constantly and stay on even with wifi on and 3g off completely.. Also had gps get stuck on.. Had to reflash the rom for that one

I haven't checked yet, but i think sprint is doing some network upgrades here.
I can't get and explanation as to why I live 5 blocks from 4g coverage yet require and air rave and have spotty coverage. Very disappointing that I cant my moneys worth for the $10/month premium data fee.
All that said, I will never find a better price for a 5 phone family plan, soon to be 6.

I just got off the phone with sprint. they say there is a 4g outage in the east bay of california (i live in oakland and work in hayward) and my phone lost signal while i was on with them so they are escalating me to their network engineers to figure this out...

I ran speed test after flashing the FD24 modem and they were horrible. I just flashed the FD24 kernel to match and there is a huge difference for the better, almost tripled the download speed and doubled on upload. I am on AOKP for the time being.

Back to fd19
Sent from unnamed 2.0.1 powered galaxy s2 brought to you by sprint

I had flashed the fd24 modem and it broke my mms so i went back to fd19. However, once the aosp fd24 kernal was out, i flashed both.... and BAM!! MMS is working again and so far speeds seem much faster. Wireless tether doesn't lag and i'm happy so far.
Just my experience

Initially it was really bad. I couldnt update the profile or PRL but after a reboot everything got quite better. I have ALWAYS gotten 1.4 something upload on 4G and that's definitely changed a bit. Latency is kinda cruddy.

if you're looking for the AOSP kernel just go get it from TCP's page on AndroidFileHost. That seems to be a good place to check periodically for new aosp kernels and roms.

Seems pretty solid to me.
Pulling about 1Mb down and about 0.6Mb up.
This is with fd24 kernel and modem on CM9

MOST people dont even test during the same time of the day. OFCOURSE speeds will be better/worse. I usually run a few test, flash new modem, then test & judge speeds.

Well, I said that to say you cant run speedtest at like 2 am (where your speeds are likely to be HIGHER), and then flash a new modem at 3pm, test it, get low speeds (peak hours) and say the modem sucks, and speeds arent comparable to a previous modem. You need to test them at nearly the same time.

So what's the verdict?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Test the modem at various hours over the course of a full week, including weekends. If you get high and low speed tests, then the problem is likely at Sprint and has nothing to do with your modem.

OK, so my results have been mixed, I haven't tried the FD24 modem with the FD24 kernel yet only tried the FD24 modem along side the FD19 kernel, but I've had much faster speeds with the FD19 kernel/FD19 modem and the FD24 kernel/FD19 modem. Same speeds no matter the kernel.
Does thebkernel really affect modem speeds?

That's actually pretty bad for 4G. That download speed is what would be expected of a 'good' 3G connection, in the areas where Sprint has upgraded backhaul.

Sent from my calculator watch.

Things are relative. A modem is not going to make a bad area all of a sudden better. The problem with most Sprint areas which have speed issues is the backhaul is overloaded. So as an analogy, a new wifi driver is not going to suddenly make your DSL WAN connection turn into a FIOS connection. If it doesn't make your connection worse or things are slightly better, than that should be a sign of good things for most people. You want the radio to allow you the full potential that is available *in your area*. The radio isn't going fix endemic problems in your area, you just want it to not make things worse.

How come i can't update my profile or PRL? Keeps saying error....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

What I do is reboot to recovery, clear cache and dalvik, flash modem, reboot, update profile then prl then reboot. Sometimes you need to try again on profile/prl. If it doesn't take by the third time then something isn't right. I don't know how to fix that either.

I have been getting pretty good speeds on FD26, however, I started getting frequent LOS today. Was at a music festival earlier, and thought it may be an issue with overloaded towers, but it just LOS'd again at home. I haven't had an LOS issue since pre EL29. Flashed to FB24 a few days ago, then FB26 (nodata) yesterday. Considering doing a full wipe and reflash to see if it cures the issue.

Oops, my bad. I'm used to seeing speeds in bit-terms.

I like it. Smooth overall, i have no major complaints. I have noticed areas where i normally have minimal service, i now have none, and my 3g speeds are terrible. However sprint is also doing some major overhauling, so im going to blame sprint. Ive compared my phone to my wifes stock el29, and i think each user will have a different feel towards things. I love the lockscreens and smoother transitions fd26 has, but i think in my area staying stock is in my best benefit as far as service goes....Looks like if i want my service back i might have to go back to el29. SFHUB, do you think its possible that maybe all the sprint network changes could be the reason for my bad 3g data speeds and poor connections? My wifes phone see's 3g and shows it, maybe 1 or 2 bars, and i show none....however she cant browse online or do anything...just make a phone call....i can do that to....what do u think? I formatted all and did a fresh flash from el29 to fd26 btw....(also im in niles,IL and chicago,IL)

If your wife's e4gt gets signal, then it is probably the modem/kernel in FD26 causing you issues. Also check to see if they are on the same PRL and try update profile.
If that doesn't help, try ##72786# reset from the dialer, you'll need your MSL which you can get using "getprop ril.MSL" in adb shell.

Sprint Epic 4G user, beware of ICS UPDATE, SLOW 4G CONNECTION

I can't believe no one is bringing this up. When I decided to drink the kool-aid and updated my phone to ICS, I noticed a huge drop in my speedtest result. In 4G, I used to get speed 2-4x faster than 3G. Ever since I upgraded to ICS, my 4G speed is unstable and it is now speedtesting at less than my 3G speed. Does anyone know what is going on? I have tried 4 different ICS rom and modem, they all do the same thing. I am currently on the official sprint patch, same exact problem again. When I flash back to Gingerbread, my speed skyrockets back up to where it should be. Anyone know what is going on? I can't believe no one is bringing this up.

Same problem here, I don't get it. Is everyone else not having the problem or just cool with it?

The OP meant to say our Epic 4G Touch, and he is correct. It varies by region and it doesn't seem to affect everyone, but for those who are affected, the difference is noticeable (in my case, about 8-10mbs on gb versus 2-3mbs on ics). Course, this issue has existed since the first ICS roms were leaked as well as all of the AOSP based ics roms. Based on previous threads, there are people getting 8-10mbs on ICS roms so I'm pretty sure it isn't affecting everyone...just some.

Same problem here... Knox TN ... It sucks BC I don't have internet and rely on my tether. Is there a dev working on a fix? If not, I'll donate to anyone that can
Sent from my Motorola StarTac

It is the Sprint Epic 4G touch Galaxy whatever crap name they give it. Anyway it is definitely related to ICS because I flashed multiptimes back to Gingerbread and I was getting speeds that were 8x faster. Now i am stuck at like 1200kbps at best with ICS. I would have stayed on Gingerbread if I can get the tether to work. My rooted EL29 cant seem to bypass the Sprint block anymore.

Turn 4g off, update profile and prl, turn 4g back on. Sometimes reboot

Sprint has been working on towers in area 13 miles south of los Angeles. Just tested and great speed now! Thanks Sprint. On blue Kuban custom ICE ROM. Top two are 4G, ...3G. ... and bottom WiFi with time Warner sucks

Knoxville TN here as well. Near the Halls Crossroads area if you know where that's at. No 4G and 3G sucks so bad I have to use a corporate PRL and Roam Control to have data in half the places I go. Sucks cause I can't run AOKP all the time I would like too due to the data issues. Nothing you can really do other then use QPST and use a corporate PRL. It helps dramatically.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

My speed tests have been strange on FF18, they start off slow and then they get up to 9mbps shortly after it starts. Back on EL29 Blazer 4.1 I would get very sporadic and uneven wimax speeds, but they sometimes went up to 15mbps. When I blazer I did try several modems (including FF18) and I did not notice much of a difference. I am in NYC and in NJ.

Mine actually went up, I never had this speed before 0.o
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

I posted about this yesterday.
With FF18 I get .5mbps down and 1.5mbps up on 4g which is slower than 3g. In the exact same location I flashed el29 and got 12+mbps down and 2+up.
I then flashed the EL29 modem and used ff18 but still received very slow 4g speeds. I have to assume that this is a kernal issue, not the modem. I've tried updating PRL and profile, even putting different PRL's on (sprint corporate 11119) and had no increase in speeds.
Either way, forget ICS. Its great but its not worth the crappy data speeds so I'm back to EL29.

Modems have different effects for everyone. Hundreds of users had tested FF18 prior to the OTA, plenty of talk happened before the OTA.
Flash a different modem if your performance is that bad see if it clears up for you. I get great 4G speeds. Only a couple of modems were troublesome for me and it was usually GPS not network speeds though had a couple that 3G was screwed on.

This thread is ridiculous, my speeds are the same on ics. The variations in speed are due to crappy sprint (and clear) service not android version.

Flash the EL29 modem back and see if your phone, area likes it.
I get between 8 and 15 Mbps and ALWAYS get 1.4 Mbps Up. I currently run the FF18 modem and I have had the same experience on most of the modems. Like your current experience upload seems to not get much of a wrench thrown in it.

Honestly you are going to get opinions from across the board. I'm currently running Kobridge's FI25 with FI25 modem and kernel and it's stable as sh%t. Everything works, no WiFi drop offs and battery is good. Though I've been switching and flashing ROMs for a few days and will be flashing another tomorrow (Re-Calked). I go for smoothness and performance over battery. I don't get wood over a battery that lasts beyond a day like some folks here. I mean it shouldn't die after a couple hours but still. Good battery for me is at least 8 hours with half of that screen time with loads of calls - it is an actual phone for me. And there are things you can do to increase batter on any build. It's 2012 and if you don't have multiple chargers and or batteries available you probably have other issues you should look at. But that's just me.
My 4G speeds are great when I'm within an area that has it and it's unobstructed - I live in the Northwest, so trees. My 3G speeds are good 600+kbps and with the later builds I'm getting reception where I had none or very poor. And on Kobridge's last build I haven't had the WiFi sleep/drop off that I had on other ROMs where after sleeping the WiFi reception went down; it would still connect but would be very poor and the only fix was a reboot.
You will truly have to see what works for you on your phone. Once you get a routine down for flashing it is actually pretty quick to go between builds get them working the way you want them. Then backup and do restores etc.
Welcome over to the E4GT, have fun and good luck.

Good battery for me is at least 8 hours with half of that screen time with loads of calls - it is an actual phone for me. And there are things you can do to increase batter on any build. It's 2012 and if you don't have multiple chargers and or batteries available you probably have other issues you should look at. But that's just me.
My 4G speeds are great when I'm within an area that has it and it's unobstructed - I live in the Northwest, so trees. My 3G speeds are good 600+kbps and with the later builds I'm getting reception where I had none or very poor. And on Kobridge's last build I haven't had the WiFi sleep/drop off that I had on other ROMs where after sleeping the WiFi reception went down; it would still connect but would be very poor and the only fix was a reboot.
You will truly have to see what works for you on your phone. Once you get a routine down for flashing it is actually pretty quick to go between builds get them working the way you want them. Then backup and do restores etc.
Welcome over to the E4GT, have fun and good luck.

Thanks.. lol I know how to flash roms quickly and easily but I work 12 hours a day 12 days straight.. I'm asking because I'm curious on which I should work on from a development standpoint.. I already have battery tweaks in line and are working pretty well..

I completely understand the work issue. I'm so swamped I flash when I can and do what little tweaking I can while I can. This group had even inspired me to resurrect my caveman coding brain.
The devs in this section are very good and more importantly supportive.
Hope you find all you need.

From a dev stand point i would say that fi03 has the best ui, but its also the hardest to work on. Kinda quirky if things aren't done just right on it. Fh13 was a solid build with no issues i could see, but again its not as nice if a ui interface such as the contacts and phone apks. ...and i haven't even ran fi 25 yet.

Yeah working on f103 is a pain in the contacts/phone especially since I'm trying to do an inverted look
I might try out fh23 I've heard a lot of good things about it

used FI03 and loved it even in stock glory
but since past 10 days using GALXY FI03 based and loving it
smooth and very efficient when used with FI03kernel+agats recovery combo from aGAT
( the ROM comes with .5.4 recovery and kernel combo from AGAT though)
extended toggels in it are a real treat plus i am using the FI03 aosp lockscreen on it
so not missing nything at all.
