[Q] Only Getting 1g service with CyanogenMod

I just flashed Cyanogen RC2 and I am not able to get 3g. Where the 3g should be there is only a "1x". The data works but is incredibly slow, I asked a friend and he said that I might need to flash the new radio. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks a bunch

What is your current radio?? When you flashed CM it comes with current one..

Are you in an area with a bad signal? At work when I'm not near a window my connection will sometimes drop to that level.

No I have full service and I did a speed test and I got 1 KB/s dload speed

I've had that happen and what I did was luck mobile data off, wait a bit, then enable it again.

This was happening to me to, on every rom. The other phone on my account was faster to...odd. So I called Sprint and they "refreshed my data services". Flawless now. Now its says 3g instead of 1x. Stoked

is there any risk involved in this? eg. can they tell I'm rooted/running a custom rom? sorry I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff.
Also when I go to wireless settings there is no option for mobile data

Well don't mention it to them make sure you have a rom that has the option to update your prl, and profile. Because they'll want you to do it. Fare warning, they'll want you to update the firmware. I just went with it, but it didn't go through. It said "there is no system update". So it all worked out.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

This has been happening to me, too. I tried different radios, prl, etc.. with no changes. I even went back to a rooted 3.26 rom and let the phone update the firmware and everything it wanted to with no change in signal. The Sprint tech said everything looked fine on his end after having me update profile, prl, check for software and firmware upgrades. I can't remember what he called it but basically he reactivated my phone as a last step.
CM and mobile signal widget show 1x and when I go to ##debug# (on sense) and check EVDO engineering every field shows <failed>
When I get time I am going to go to Best Buy and hope their insurance works well.

That's weird because when I go to another rom like fresh my 3g works fine its just on cyanogen that my phone has this hiccup

[Q] Evo wont tether :(

well i press on it and it just says it started but then it says error show log. it just shows that it failed. please help

What app are you using to tether?

Also.. what version of tether are you using? I had best luck with 2.05 if you can find it.

Honestly, wireless tether has been spazzmodic lately; I suggest using the built in hotspot...works just as nice.

the wireless tether app, and when i press it , it just says error. help :/

Yep still on MIUI. I average about 1.5Mbps down. No 4G but my 3G speeds are so good that I could care less about 4G. Also, MIUI has built in tethering that works splendidly.

If you can try another rom such as miui for instance like others have stated, you'll find you have better luck with tethering using the built in hotspot. I struggled with wireless tether as well but that 2.05 rc1 version i think it was worked good for me. some more info on your part like what rom, version of tether etc your using would help

downloading miui as we speak hehe

Epic PRL internal update error?

Anyone else getting an error while trying to update their PRL? I keep receiving an "internal error" and since I'm away from a computer, I won't be able to manually update it OR find a thread already similar to this :/ any suggestions/fixes for this anyone? Today's 5 thanks goes to the 1st one that can help me out

It has been said doing Noobnl's EFS clear of the modem fixed this for some people. It is a communication error between your phone and Sprint. So the EFS clear reactivates the phone. I will find a link to the thread.

Did it work for you?

This didn't work for me, but I got a new min from sprint and it has worked perfectly since

Nope, I tried but didn't seem to help. Keep getting the same error dnt know exactly what caused it since I was able to properly update my PRL without any troubles whatsoever about a day ago. U think a logcat might tell me what's wrong?

I don't think there would be enough information in the logcat but try it. It may just be a Sprint error in your neighborhood. It may fix itself in a day or two. You can also try Odining back to straight stock and see if it works. When mine would get the same error...for months...magically one day it worked and did for a lot of people. It was a Sprint network error then.

I also tried Odining back to stock the other day as well an it didn't help either. Still get the same internal error. I was also wondering if this might be on Sprint's network and not my Epic. I mean I can update it manually when I'm @ home near my computer so its no big deal but...I would really enjoy being able to update it easily over my Epic again.

I was about to start a thread on this. Maybe it's not my phone. I am unable to update my profile, prl, or any other update. A soon as I check for an update the wifi or 3G icon disappears, and the update check fails.

Well, looks like I'm not the only one. Maybe this error is on Sprints part and not ours. I feel like calling Sprint just to ask and confirm tho

It sounds like it might be, and area related. Mine still updates. They could be updating some towers and network near you and that server is down which has the PRLs and Profiles. The average Sprint tech won't know, you will probably need to be on Tier 3 tech.

I just tried updating mine and got the same error. It has never failed for me in the past so I would guess it's a network issue. We had some strong winds here last week that made my service a bit screwy, so maybee they are just doing some maintenance.
Edit: I just tried it on my girlfriends epic after posting this and it worked on her phone. Tried again on mine and got the same error. We are both running the same setup. Hmm...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Yes. I have 2 Epics on my account and 1 would update fine but mine would not until the day Sprint fixed the network problem. Drove me crazy for awhile trying to figure out the differences in the phone. So probably still a Sprint error. You could call them and have them go through reactivation to see if it makes any difference.

It's really not a huge deal, I live in a pretty decent service area and rarely need to roam. I was just trying it out to give some input here.

I have also had this issue for about two or three months. In that time, I've used EF02, EH06, and back to EC05. Modems were updated accordingly to match.
Currently running SFR 1.2 + Genocide 2.0 + EG22 modem. I've tried both flashing via CWM and ODIN back to stock EC05 (and EC05 modem) without restoring anything, still no go. My brother Epic (always been stock EC05, with root) updates PRL and profile just fine.
EDIT: After about 1 hour with Sprint, I had to re-ODIN to EC05. I finally got re-activated after yet another hour with Sprint. And despite that, still the issues with PRL/Profile. Will probably take it in tomorrow, no use in restoring my old setup yet.

I wiped my modem then had sprint re activate it. Was perfect for a week then now I'm unable to update prl or profile. Same error internal error. I also just restored a nandroid and then reflashed the rom entirely trying to fix this. I also updated the prl manually hoping that would allow me to update profile and such again but nope. It must be on sprints side. I also was gonna make a thread about this lol

With all the text messaging, MMS and prl errors suddenly popping up along with Sprint's promise to improve their network through October I believe it is a Sprint network error and will clear up by end of month.

IMO Sprint's improvements are starting to show. I have seen major improvements on Speedtest. Ignore my ping I was using the server that's 175 miles away. Same on all phones ....

ODIN back to Stock
This was a problem for months for me as well.
After flashing several ROMs and kernels, and different GB leaks, I decided to go back to 100% stock. My phone came with Eclair 2.1 out of the box, so I found that and ODIN'd to it.
I let it do the OTA update to EC05 Froyo and was able to update my PRL to 60681
I can't explain why, and it may have been a coincidence with Sprint's network, but ODIN'ing the phone back to stock that way seemed to fix it. I've flashed a few Froyo-based ROMs and haven't had an issue since.

Evo 4g wifi won't connect.

Hey guys,
I'm using a EVO 4g with the Energy rom with Underworld kernel the problem is the wifi. It connect then disconnects right away. I've tried several fixes from here on the forum such as making sure wireless sleep policy was sent to never. I've flashed the kernel using the mount data trick and nothing works. If you guys know any fixes to help I'm willing to try. This is the first rom I really enjoy. Thanks.
Edit: Found out it wasn't just that rom. I think I saw somewhere to flash radios. Any advice?

Thus was your first rom you flashed on your phone? I was taught to update radios and wimax. Not sure where you would get that, but definitely stay in 4g threads. I'm going through the same thing I need to update mine & can't find a link...hmmm you find it let me know!

It came to my attention that a lot of people were in need of the handoff.zip that fixes the data on cm ROMs. I was unaware it was no longer available on the original thread so here ya go. I'll leave it up for about a week.

Switching to cdma only should fix it (especially if you're not even in an LTE area)

Really bud? I mostly hate when the dev tell us to "go use search" but really? If you can't go to the Cyan thread and read a little then you shouldn't be flashing ROMs, because youre a brick waiting to happen.
Anyways...go check out Slim's 4.2 in the original section. Its very smooth and will be getting updated shorty. And please read thro the thread a bit...

Thanks OP, but I would like to state that this fix has already been merged into the CM10 gerrit.
The flashable zip posted from the OP has the same APN xml as this.
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/27507/
As of Dec 6th, it's been in the CM10 ROM. This means any cm10 based rom will automatically have this built in.
There is another bug floating around where data times out randomly and the only thing we, the users, can do is provide radio logs to the CM10 devs.
The steps to help is described in this post.
Thanks for being an awesome community.
