[Q] Better Wimax Signal EVO 4G

So I've been up searching and searching and searching to see if anybody has found a solution to better increase the 4G connectivity for the HTC EVO 4G and the only thing I've come across from is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925898
My question is, can we make the same changes on the exact same fields and have better signal for our EVO's

Does anybody know anything about this??

The main thing you can do to get a better Sprint WiMax signal is to go outside. It just doesn't work very well indoors. I'm not serious about actually walking outside just to use 4G, but unfortunately am serious when I say that the frequency Sprint/Clear uses is just too high to get inside well.
I'm on CM right now, so I can't go hunting for a similar value in the Evo's EPST. It probably would increase the battery drain when using 4G though, if it even really works at all.

Going outside isn't gonna work for me, reason being I'm trying to use 4G tethering for my xbox.

I wasn't really being serious about going outside...i'm just saying Sprint's 4G network doesn't work that well inside unless there's a tower in your backyard.
Also, latency on WiMax will be pretty bad, which matters for gaming. You'll get killed a lot.

3g times out?

I was wondering if anyone else has/had this problem. My evo tends to time out on 3g, especially when I download a rom. The 3g indicator just goes dark and will stay that way for a couple minutes. It wouldn't be a big problem but I don't have hi speed where I live so every Rom I download is through my phone internet. When the 3g times out it causes the Rom download to fail. Has anyone else had this problem and what can you do to fix it? It's irritating having to download a rom 5 plus times

This only happened to me when I was on stock. Now that I'm on a custom ROM, it doesn't happen anymore. I notice you are on a custom rom, so I'm sure that's not the problem.
It may be a coverage problem. It also happens to me when I'm switching from 3g to 1X, so that may be it.

The area I'm in has almost full signal. I've actually experienced this more on custom roms then when i was on stock.

Have you tried flashing the more updated radios, etc?

Just did. Will report back to see if it helps

Any update on this? Just was curious if this did the trick for you.

My 3g does not work on roms outside of stock sense roms. I've read where others says sense roms always show 3g even if you are getting a 1x signal but my wife has an evo 4g, unrooted, as well and my 1x is way slower then her 3g signal. I 1x signal won't load web pages in most cases. I downloaded the most recent OTA and then flashed a rom after words but still no 3g.

Any update on this? Just was curious if this did the trick for you.
After I flashed the new radios etc. I tried to download a rom overnight. When I got up it said download failed, then I remembered to update prl and what not. After i updated things were ok until I tried out my 4G. I was having major issues with it not downloading. It was extremely slow. I was using the shooter ROM when these problems started so I flashed another ROM and haven't had any problems so far. Is it possible for a rom to affect 3g and 4G performance?

This isn't necessarily true. Most custom ROMs show 1x. However the stock does not. Also, 1x should be slower than 3g.

Sorry if I wasn't clear but that was my point. Thats what most people "say" about roms showing 1x and my 1x is slower then my wife 3g so I know its not that we don't have 3g in our area, its the rom. Right now I'm using R2R-green-R3, which has a 4g LTE icon and faster then the 1x rom I was using before. I flashed the honeycomb theme over it looks great and works great!

It shouldn't be the rom causing you to get 1x, have you tried updating prl/profile? I've run multiple custom roms and never had a problem. Areas where I know get 1x show it, but areas that get 3g show 3g and have 3g speeds
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I did up date the prl/profile but still no 3g. I'm at 3g speed now so its not a problem. Maybe I did something wrong on the other rom?

flashed to cm9 alpha 6, get grey 3g bars no data

When I was on stock I was always on 3g. Now that I flashed to cm9a6, I've been waking up to my phone with grey 3g bars. I flip to airplane mode and back to fix it and finally get my emails but its a real pain in the ass.
I looked into it, but saw posts from march, wondering if anyone had a fix or if this is just a bug.

Bug but, there are newer nightlies to flash than a6... Google chris41g to find his server with nightlies, otherwise go ask in the thread for more specifics
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Why are you on alpha 6? Lol that is the question. Chris41g is knocking out RC quality builds that you need to be flashing if you want cm9. Get on it

I was having issues yesterday with my 3g not working. I am on a newer build of cm9. I just think it was a virgin mobile service thing because my 3g is fine now.

Did you try making sure you had data roaming enabled in your settings?

Find a jellybean radio and flash it, should fix your problem. There is a couple threads on radio's in development section.

Hi, I'm currently using a cm10 rom and I flashed the UVLH radio. JB works smoothly for me and calls are clear and messages arrive lromptly even. Maybe just flash a new radio one that's okay for ICS

There is NO JB radio. 3G and 4G are almost the same thing. I do not believe T-Mobile phones with 4G can acquire 4G, as our 4G is a fake 4G. It is more a 3.5G. So I believe that it is just that the system recognizes the signal as 3G, but is really 4G.

Simultaneous voice and data problem

I'm running CM 10 on my AT&T S3. I'm in an LTE area and have LTE coverage. I also would have strong HSPA coverage as well.
My issue is, when I'm on a call, I have no internet connection. There is no 4G/H/3G icon at all by the signal bars (which are full). And when I try to go to a page it says No connection.
Is this an issue with CM10? Anyway I can fix this? I can't seem to remember if the issue was present on stock.

Same here. It worked on stock att
