[Q] 1x problems

my evo when I flash custom roms will always give me 1x instead of 3g icon... not sure why is there a fix of any kind?

Your probably not clearing everything when you flash the rom. Make sure you wipe everything when flashing a new rom.

Try going into espt. (you need to be on a sense rom) Enter ##3282#. Go to edit mode (you'll need your MSL number). Select 'evdo', and make sure that the preferred mode is set to automatic. I don't remember if it automatically reboots your phone when you commit the changes, but if not, then reboot it manually after you change it. That may help ya out.

Good call, only reason I didn't think this was the reason because most roms don't have the icon change when you lose evdo.

Right, but now that a lot of the Sense roms are incorporating that mod (the mod that shows if your truly on 3g or 1xx), some people are realizing that they aren't getting 3g signal at all. Some may have been on 1x the entire time, but then when they switch to a rom that shows what you're actually connected to, they realtize they're on 1x. That trick works for some people, but not all. I think it'll help out though.

Same 1x problem no matter what i do
Ive had this problem for about 5 months now and it doesnt matter what ROM i switch to or use it the same and going in EPST doesnt fix the problem neither when doing what you just said to do with the epst but when i do change it from AUTOMATIC to HRC it goes back on 3G but the downfall to that is that phone calls and text dont come in to your phone until you make a phone call so can anyone help solve the issue why is this happening? I have a white evo hardwhere 0003 used all kind of roms even stock and same thing and know alot about phones and been messing with them since windows mobile 6.1 HTC TOUCH for sprint soo... And my girls evo is and stays on 3GrevA. her in not rooted and is stock tho while mines is stuck eternally 1xrtt.

you may have facked your radio at some point? I would tinker with different ones till you get the sweet spot.

This. There may not be anything really wrong at all. I mean, it sucks to drop to 1X, but the stock ROM was lying to you.
Now, if you ONLY see 1X all the time, yeah, that's a problem. But an occasional switch over to 1X (particularly if you're in a tough signal area, like the core of an office building) is normal.

I am on mikG Rom I have had 3g before I updated radios got the new stock rom but at home I use a airwave for signal wonder if that messes anything up?

Have you tried one of the new Sense 3 roms? The reason I ask...when you go into 'ABOUT PHONE' in settings these versions give you a network option that others do not. Check to see what it is telling you are receiving 1X or evdo. If it says 1X...you may have the same issue I had...borked 3G. Once I got it replaced..I loaded up the 3.0 again just to check what it now said..and you betcha...evdo was now showing and not 1Xrxx (or whatever it was).
I tried everything as well for about three weeks..you name it..ROMS/RADIOS/STOCK/CUSTOM/ESPT even took it back to fully stock and then rooted again (lost my .76Hboot in doing so, but phone didn't work right anyway... I was grabbing for straws. Luckily it was just under the first year and paid the 35 to have it replaced (no warranty plan). I travel and no matter where I went the speeds were terrible..ya..the 1X/3G/EVDO in the notifications bar is just for looks...but you KNOW when your stuck on 1X...frustrating.
This may not be the case....but

kinda of a simple fix... first of all stock sense roms always show 3g even if you dont have it... if on every rom you flash you keep getting the 1x AND you alreeady tried radios, nv etc upgrades and those dont work, then it is your PRL not PRI... 2 different things... to fix it check out a thread under deveopement ..Deck.... cause there is a fix there, or google prl and pri update evo on google.. you will need msl and be on sense and be able to use espt

[Q] no 3G only 1x after flash rom

okay i have a droid incredible that has been flashed to metro and it was working great and had insanely fast 3G but after trying to flash a rom i noticed mobile data said turning on but took a while then it said 1x and now it wont go back to 3g at all and i tried to update the prl but it didnt work . is there anyone else who experienced this or knows how to fix it ?

Do you have a nandroid of the ROM you can restore to see if that will bring back 3g? If not then it's something else.

idid try a nandroid and i didnt work i tried ruu and that didnt work either

It's probably something outside of the ROM settings. I don't think a lot of us are familiar with metro but maybe see if someone in the land of googles has had that issue and a fix.
I'd almost say re-flash to metro but I don't recommend it as I'm not sure what the flashing to metro involves.

thats what someone else told me , but i wanted to check around here first . thanks

Some Stock Plus roms have a bad habit of changing the active profile on your phone, and each time you change it and are forced to restart for the changes to take effect, it reverts to the wrong profile after it restarts.
1. to fix it, wipe and flash a Sense rom that worked for you before.
2. go to profile settings using one of those ## shortcuts, I think it is ##data# or ##Debug#, don't remember exactly.
3. Go to Profiles and change the active profile from 0 to 1 or the other way around. (don't remember which is the right profile)
4.Restart and make sure 3G works.
5. Flash your favorite rom that doesn't mess the profiles up.

If you find the solution please post it here. I'm in the same boat I have a incredible flashed to metro and everything works. Problem is that I only get 1x. That's on the stock sense and cm7 which I currently use. I've tried prls 3022-3026 and nothing works and I live right outside Detroit so I should get 3g

PST is ##778# hit dial choose edit mode and enter six zeros 000000 as the password. The M.IP Settings and M.IP default profile (profile 0), are the settings for data. Make sure everything looks correct in there. M.IP Customer profile 1 (profile 1), may be used with metro, i am not sure, and am not familiar with metro.

Strange 4g issue

A friend of mine was testing his 4g on his samsung epic with sprint service. Somehow he had 4g working while I tested my phone in the exact same spot and 4g would not connect....How is that possible if we are both using sprint service?

Hey Pivo187,
To be as straight forward as possible, some phones are better built and have different types of controllers installed. Not saying the phone is bad or that his is better, but different factors would come into play. i.e, have you dropped yours before? has he dropped his? how old is yours vs his? has he tweaked his settings manually or through a custo rom? Ha ve YOU tweaked yet is the main question. there are numerous ways of scripting your way to better signal reception for 4g and even speed on normal 3g. i.e, papa smurfs script, v8 super charger, rope a dope....list goes on. look in the develpment section, or do a search of the forum to pull up the key words. you may also directly change the settings in your phone through the DIAG program by ##data#, though you need your msl...all you need to get your signal boosted and speeds up is a search a way my friend. happy tweaking.

I have dropped it before yes. Mine is an EVo 4g I had it when it first came out. He has a custom ROM as do I. Hes only tweaked his as much as Ive tweaked mine. Im currently using Reloaded .44. Sent u a pm jost*

If you're using Reloaded, how do you know you are not getting 4G? There is a known issue with the 4G connection status icons being bogus on that ROM..

Well NxNW whenever i enable 4g I open the 4g/wimax & it just says "turning on tab" & its constantly showing 4g scanning..I know 4g works bc Ive tried it in other areas & it connects. Ive tested it and used it.

Yep, sounds broken. Just checking...

hey Pivo..,
heres a quick link to some advice... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675457&highlight=speed+and+boost&page=18.... hinestly others work better with diff roms.... therefore, you must experiment. That is how we learn anyways. go to links on fiddys post as well as search boost and/or tweaks in the search tab on the page.

Those tweaks dont seem to work for everyone..Its hard to judge if the tweak is working also unless you install & uninstall right behind each other. I notice I get diff 3g speeds throughout the day & also what area Im in...

[Q] Wicked Sensation v2.0 4G Data not working(Sprint GS3)

I have downloaded and done a clean install of the latest ROM from Team-Venom "Wicked Sensations v2.0" First of all the ROM is so in depth, and runs smoother than any other ROM I have used in the last year. There is only one issue. The only way I can use mobile data is if I switch the mobile network to CDMA, 4G LTE does allow me to send and receive phone calls but no text messages, or any data whatsoever. . I have read all of Team Venom's thread, well most of it anyways, and I cannot find anyone else having this issue. I am aware of the rules of the forums, so I am posting this under the Q/A as not to bog down or step on anyone's toes, in the developers thread.
Is there a fix for the 4G data issue, or is it just my phone? I have tried everything I can think of such as..
Flash stock Kernal
Flashed the latest radios
flashed the latest PRL's (not sure what that would do but I did it anyways)
tried toggling airplane mode on and off.
Since nobody else is having this issue, I am not sure what else to try. also, when I am using LTE, I DO NOT have the 4G icon next to my signal bars, like I do when I am on 3G.
Before you ask, yes, I do in fact live in an area that does have 4G, I am in Kansas City Kansas.
Anyone with an idea or know how I would be grateful.

Well I guess this is what I get for having to deal with this 10 post rule. This would be so much better if I could just ask my question in the Rom's thread so people would ACTUALLY SEE IT!!!!!

Have you tried resetting you data? ##786#..
Edit: you will need your msl #..

MSL#
jonapunk said:

Thanks for the replies all. I have done the suggested troubleshooting as follows
1: did a fresh install of the ROM (after wiping EVERYTHING first)
2. went through setup of the device (just to verify 4G was still not working, which it was not)
3. went to dialer and input ##486#
4. chose the reset option
5. entered my MSL # and then the phone did a factory reset.
When the phone came back up I had to go through the setup again, and had to turn on wifi to get through it because the data was still not working.
Also if anyone comes accross this and wants to know how to get the MSL # download a terminal emulator from the market and input "getprop ril.MSL"
Or check out this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28182339
Also while investigating the MSL further I found this possible solution-
"The phone needs to be re-provisioned as follows ##72786# or ##SCRTN# the phone may restart twice, after the restarts, launch a browser and type in your phone number on the prompt."
After following this, when I opened the browser I was not prompted to input anything I was only greeted with a connection error. :crying:
I am still searching for more answers. I am exploring ##DATA# but there is more in here than I am familiar with so I will hold of on this until I know what I am doing.
In the mean time 3G works so I am still able to use my phone just wish I could tether my 4G to my laptop.
Any other ideas are more than welcome.

Well, I just flashed v1.3 and it is working flawlessly, everything is working great. I just think my hardware version is conflicting with the latest v2.0 for some reason. I am out of ideas. I'll stay on v1.3 for now I guess.

Tha'ts weird, I just checked mine and it says global network. I switched it toe CDMA LTE and it works. Even sent a test text message to the wife phone and have no issues.. O here might be the issue. If you go to ##3282# under view then advance, see if LTE is enabled or disabled.. If it is enabled then I bet that is why you do not get 4G service.. I believe LTE does not have 4G service just 3G.. I have done this and my 4G went to 3G after enableing it.. If you have it disabled you will get 4G service..

That is a good idea but even then you have to wait five min. inbetween lol why couldn't I remember my old login that would be way easier

Well I have finally been able to get 4G data working on v2.0!!!
1. Wipe EVERYTHING
2. Flashed sensations v1.3
3. Reboot phone into recovery
4. Flashed v2.0
5. BEFORE REBOOTING OUT OF RECOVERY, Flash latest sprint radios
6. Reboot phone one last time
This has made 4G data work for me.
Im in the car right now, will try to remember to post a link to the latest radios. And PRL Updates. Those are nice to have too.
