I only get 4G at work and Saturday it was working fine. Sunday I was off so since I was at home (with no 4G and little to no 3G) I was on WiFi all day. So I get to work this morning and my 4G is just constantly scanning. I didn't really install any apps yesterday so no app could be the reason. My bill is paid (if it wasn't my 3G wouldn't be working right now). I have restarted several times and cut off the 3G to see if it works. In the wireless settings under the 4G settings i watched the 4G option and it would say "scanning" a few seconds later "connecting" then "obtaining IP address" a minute or two later "disconnected" and does it all again.
Anyone know if it is Sprint or my phone?
Anyone in Virginia having 4G problems?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.

I want to avoid factory reseting for the second time in less than a month. I'll check my coworker's Epic, if she doesn't get 4G I can go annoy Sprint about it. If she does, I'll go annoy Sprint anyway.

You can try to restore a nandroid from when it was working but already said it is unrooted...does that mean you restored stock recovery?

You should not have to pay a deductible if a major feature is not working. The deductible is for lost/stolen/physically broken.

It really depends on the tech that works on the phone. And if they can cleverly word it as manufactures defect, not user error. before I knew what I was doing w/ my phone I bricked 2 phones in 1 week. Both times I got a replacement.

You guess in the second round of LTE rollouts (I read somewhere) but I get 4G in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach and Norfolk. Williamsburg has no WiMax though, it's weird.
On another not I factory reset and it a no go. Others in the area have 4G. I'll call sprint today and see if I can get it free.

You're thinking of two different things. EVDO Rev B is not active yet, EVRC-B is a speech codec for voice and has nothing to do with LOS.

Turned off EVRC-B and just now, ~5 hours after flipping the switch, I experienced a LOS. A quick reboot got the service back. So ya, turning EVRC-B off doesn't solve a thing.
I heard if you go to settings and change your meid to "1337" you won't get LOS!

You mean your service account? If so it shouldn't be a problem, though you may have to visit a Sprint store & call Sprint should you run into issues.
When my Evo went bad I had an old HTC Hero laying around & was able to reactivate it with no problems, but I did have to go into a Sprint store.
You should have no problems. I deactivated/reactivated my E4GT a couple of times online whenever I wanted to use my Evo 3d.

When you did that did you have to pay a activation fee to activate the 3d then again to reactivate the e4gt? I always thought even if you are just swapping service they charge you an activation fee. My brother has a spare iPhone lying around that I wouldn't mind trying for a day. Would I be able to swap the service free of charge?

Sprint has a page that you just swap esn's or go to your main page and click activate an account... Its rather simple and no need to speak to anyone, its all automated whether its your first or one hundredth time and if you have to pay it will tell you
This^
It's says something like "activate phone" next to your device in "my account". Takes minutes, just need the esn #. They would prefer you do it rather than call them up and waste their time, right?

That and wifi just stops working, but that's another story.
