[Q] 4g not working anymore...ever - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Has not been working for the past month...used to use a lot of data (like 10gb/mo)...have tried all different roms, reset prl, reset profile, nothing fixes it. Everything else works perfectly. Any ideas on how to fix?

First of all, you've tried different modems correct?
Try going back to stock rooted with one of Sfhub's one-clicks. Gingerbread preferrably.
Also, you can try this as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26131653&postcount=4244
That will completely reprovision the phone (and it is part of the programming) to reset it on the Sprint network. This is rom independent (wont change if you flash a rom).

I'm giving this a shot -- will know tonight if it restores 4g capability. It's really weird, though...was working fine one second, and then it just stopped working altogether. I got it to reconnect once but have never gotten it again, regardless of where I am (including spots known to work before).

Check your WiMAX settings, especially check that your MAC still matches the label under the battery.
With a TouchWiz dialer, use ##DEBUG#.
Do you remember what you did to the phone before it stopped working? Were you messing around in CT or DM?

I actually wasn't doing anything when it stopped working -- turned it on like normal, connected hotspot like normal, and then after an hour or so, it crapped out. Wouldn't reconnect at all. Tried it again like 2 weeks later, and it connected for a couple of minutes, but then disconnected permanently again.
The debug menu helped...I play with wimax modes and AUTH worked for me. It wasn't the greatest speeds or anything (they used to be better), but at least the 4g radio connected! Thanks for the tip!

Verizon, flashed rom, lost service?

I just flashed my phone to OMJ's custom Verizon, now I have lost all service. Any advise on what settings I am missing?
Or is this a call into Verizon to do something? If so what do I say?
Thanks,
Scott
well hopefully when you updated the radio with a different rom you didn't let the customizations run.
if you did everything correctly you may just need to activate a different phone on your plan, get all your services working on that phone, then reactivate your xv6900, do the *228, remove battery thing and hopefully that'll work for you
No did not let the customizations run. It all went smooth. I did find this message....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416908&highlight=verizon
So I am calling Verizon....
Is there a way to not have to call Verizon? Will this happen with EVERY flashed ROM? Or is it only when you unlock with IMcoke's utility?
What a PITA!
Scott
Well, I hope this thread can help others...
I did have to call Verizon to reset. Now the gal who answered did sound cute, but it took 20 minutes of her reading her scripts until she escalated me to 2nd level support.
10 minutes there and they did the A-Key update....
So all is working..
But more importantly, what causes this? Will it happen with every ROM or just the first you flash?
Regards,
ST
I know I have to call in every time I Master Reset my stock XV6900 so I imagine it's the same issue with a new flash as well. Something about this phone makes them manually update it on their end I guess.
You should only need to do this if you update the Radio. But, I've flashed two radios to date, and only on the first did I need to call VZW. I've flashed quite a few ROMs and had to call maybe twice.

I helped a buddy upgrade his Verizon XV6900 radio to the sprint radio. We ran into all kinds of problems with his phone. No internet, phone searched for thirty minutes and when it got a signal would sometimes randomly shut off. We fixed everything by logging onto the Verizon website and activating one of his old phones. We took the battery out of the touch before hand because two signals equal no good. We activated his old phone for about ten minutes and then reactivated his touch. Everything worked fine afterward. He had a new akey and I believe his dmu keys were reset. Hope this helps, but activating an old phone on the verizon website is a bit of a pain.
Thanks for the info everyone...
Hope this helps someone else out.

um.... what if I did let the customization run? after I used the Sprint Radio Upgrade. Does the phone now think it's a Sprint phone? It won't even let me do the *228 anymore. Someone mentioned having success using a radiorefurbish.exe? does that make sense?
Thanks!
I'm no pro, but re-flash, and make sure to soft reset before the customizations. Not a big deal.
Scott
I have the same problem with internet. I too accidentally let the first flash run customization. I then re flashed the phone with a bunch of different roms and still cant get internet working, nor *228. I can still make phone calls just no internet. Can someone recommend with a link a good rom for verizons xv6900 that would solve this problem?

You left some important details like,
The ROM & what exactly the error is.
Well the first rom was the oem sprint rom. I did this mostly for the gps function. The error is when i try to use data it says its dialing #777 then after about a min or 2 its says it could not connect. Ive tried entering my username and pass as someone suggested, but i actually never had one there before so I didn't see how that was going to help. Needless to say it didnt. I also have a problem when i try to use *228 to update my phone. It says it failed. Im mostly concerned with internet atm. By the way i really appreciate your fast reply!
I also ran the verizon carrier cab as was recommended in some posts but no dice there either.

First, if you haven't done it yet, enter the username and password. After you flash a new ROM, the fields are blank, but the internet will work, but at some point, it will start to fail becuase of it being blank.
If that doesn't solve it, I suggest flashing a new Radio and ROM, I personally suggest using one from OMJ. I'm currently using his 3.09 Clean ROM, and it runs smooth. And after using the aGPS hack, something you can do after you resolve this, I get a faster GPS lock inside my home or office, than someone with an in-car model.
which radio do you suggest Ive tried 3.42.30 and 3.42.50 both give me same problame. Im flashing omj's 3.03.01 clean as I type this.
I'm using 3.42.50 right now, and so far it works great.
ok so then I have both radio and rom installed and still no data. any further suggestion? Is there anyway of restoring verizon data setting to original defaults? I think the sprint rom must have changed something specific to the data settings. Ive tried everything to revert them back with no luck
What's the link to the ROM that you originally flashed and run the cusomizations.

[Q] 3g connection will not stay up

So for the past 2 weeks I am having issues that basically render my phone unusable for 99% of the reasons I bought it. Posted a thread before but I think it got lost when the forums were having some instability around that time...
My 3g connection will NOT stay up. I did nothing to provoke this. No system changes. The sequence of events:
-Went out of the country with my phone on airplane mode the whole time
-Got back, a day or two later had an incorrect timestamp on my incoming SMS (they were showing up +3 hours)
-Called customer service, she activated a tester phone and confirmed that it was a system-side issue on the incoming SMS (somehow they were getting a timestamp from the system where my number is located, in Eastern time, while I am actually located in Pacific nowadays).
-Put in a trouble ticket after 2 hours trying to solve the SMS issue over the phone.
-Next day, my 3g connection begins dropping CONSTANTLY. As it stands, it won't stay connected more than 30 seconds. It will cycle to 1x sometimes, and then drop to a basic-service-only.
-Tried reinstalling my ROM several times to no effect.
-Started experiencing some very strange noises in SOME calls, such as it sounding like a chainsaw when the other person is talking. Happens very sporadically.
-Just today I found some instructions here for correcting my NAM settings, which were actually messed up as it turns out, but didn't fix anything.
At this point I actually have the phone unrooted and back to factory default everything, with no change. I've got a warranty replacement phone coming in shortly, but I'd still rather keep this one if I'm able to.
Is there anything I haven't tried that might be the case on my end? Has anyone seen this problem before? Has my phone antenna simply gone belly-up, or is this something that might still be fixed at some deep system-setting level, or with further calls to tech support?
So... I guess that's a no?

Had the same problem with my phone before I rooted my phone and starting to apply ROM's. I havent had a problem since. But when I had that problem, I would just keep turning on and off the 3g and it would stay for a while. It was just a quick fix but it worked. Off subject how did you unroot your phone and put it back top stock?
My phone just started doing this this yesterday. Whenever I reboot it, it'll come up, switch to 1x mode. After a while it'll try to switch to 3g mode, fail, switch to no service, and then either go to just basic voice with no data or back into 1x mode. I've tried updating the radio, switching roms, dialing *228, nothing seems to help.
Jager, instructions on a full reset are right here under section 6. I'm not sure why it's struck out. Definitely suggest poking around more first.
New phone's in and still having major connectivity issues. The SMS timestamp remains as it was, and I can't get (steadily) more than like 35kbps. I'll occasionally bump to 500kbps for a quick spurt, and then my connection will drop entirely and struggle to get back up to 35kbps. My wife's Incredible works perfectly fine in the exact same locations, too, so this is something that absolutely has to be on Verizon's side, specific to my line.
Me too
My phone has also been experiencing the loss of 3G service as well. I checked my wife's Moto Droid 1 and it was also having difficulty connecting as well. I called Verizon and they were absolutely no help whatsoever. I am either getting nothing or 1X in places where I have always had 3G. This is very frustrating. I have flashed 3 different ROMs (all of which have worked fine in the past), but the result always seems to be the same. Anyone else out there with this issue?

Need to fix this!
3G connection issues
I just got off the phone with Verizon Tech support. They are CONVINCED that it is an issue with my phone (and my wife's). Gee, how can 2 different phones, from different manufacturers have the SAME issue at the SAME time? Hmm, doesn't sound very promising to me.
They are sending out a replacement for my wife's Moto Droid to see if it is a phone issue (she has been having other issues with it anyway...). If hers improves, I may send mine back, but I don't want to have to unroot, etc. Plus I like the Super-Amoled screen . When did trouble-shooting turn to "replace the hardware first" ???
Regards!
This happened to me recently as well and was fixed with a factory reset.
I am rooted with S-off, so a normal factory reset via Menu->Settings->SD & Phone Storage-> Factory Data Reset didn't go well for me. Not sure of the exact reason, but I just followed the instructions in this post to restore: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786436
Programming your phone by dialing *228 is necessary afterwards as well, as khukman states below. Thanks for pointing that out.
After I completed this, I redid root, restored my nandroid backup and didn't lose a thing, plus my 3G is working again!
*A fair warning: Doing this formats the internal storage (emmc). I'd recommend backing up any photos, music, etc that you have stored on emmc before doing this!

So I tried the above suggestion about going back to completely stock 2.2 and I have the same results. On one hand, I am now back to S-ON and stock Froyo, so if I want to send it back to Verizon, they are none the wiser that I was rooted, but on the other hand I STILL HAVE CRAPPY 3G SERVICE!!! Man, I feel like I'm on AT&T or something LOL! I'll keep an eye on it for the rest of the day and see how it does and report back.
Back in 3G!!!!!
After getting back to stock Froyo, as described in the previous post, I was still unable to get a good 3G lock. I read in another thread where someone did a 'Factory Data Reset' and it took care of it. When you do this, you have to dial #228 and let it program your phone as it did the first time when you got it. Once I did this, I had (and still have) a solid lock on 3G like I used to. I think that it was one of the Sprint ROMs that screwed this up in the first place (the OP states that you have to backup your PRLs, etc. before installing, then re-install them afterwards). I can't remember if I did this or not, so it may be my fault after all, but regardless, I am thrilled that once again I have a connected smartphone thanks to the resources contained on XDA!
Regards!
I myself am now rocking a refurb that has no trouble at all... A complete revert to stock did absolutely nothing to resolve my trouble.
Though I didn't try doing a factory reset AFTER reinstalling the stock ROM. Hmm. Maybe there was something in the cache still. I suppose in my case I'll never really know, but I'm glad you guys were able to resolve the situation with your original hardware.

Did you follow the steps in the thread I posted above? Doing that should completely format and re-image your phone. Much more than just installing a stock ROM. I myself tried so many different variations of ROMs, radios, etc and nothing did the trick until I followed that thread.

Wi-fi broken after root.

Hey guys. I just rooted my E4GT and didn't install the kies application first. My phone is rooted and everything seems to be functioning except for the wi-fi. Whenever I go to turn on the wi-fi, it turns on, scans for a network and then the wi-fi turns off again. Am I boned? PLEASE HELP!
epic 4g wifi broke
Same for me, after Rooting with oden the wifi searches and then turns off, any help?
I'm sorry you're having the same issue. I haven't found any solutions yet. Would you please keep me in the loop if you find one? Isn't there an IRC channel where some of these guys go and help answer questions?
Something went wrong with your flash. No worries tho you just got to go back to stock and root again. Are you familiar with Titanium Backup? If you are back up all your user apps + data. Then ODIN back to factory restore. Then auto-root with this method. Lastly restore all your apps with titanium
this happened to me but i fixed it easily
forget your wifi
connect again with password and repeat it again until it works maybe 3 times

This is good advice. Do what Kogama recommends and you should be up and running. If not, hit the "HowTo's" link in my signature and follow the steps for a Hands Free Reset. Fast. Simple. Effective. Probably a good idea to do one anyway when you make major changes such as rooting or ROM hopping.
after i rebooted the wifi stopped working and i cant get it work again actually..where is this hands free reset i cant find it only the activation which I also did again
Just_s and Kogama - That method did not work for me. By time I had typed in the WPA key, the wi-fi antennae had already shut itself off.
BUT
KelvCast - your method totally worked. Is it me or does this antennae get piss poor signal strength? But I thank you VERY much for helping me. I'm all good to go. Now on to trying to figure out my write permissions on my Kindle Fire =/
for kelvcast's way you have to completely change your modem back too right? ....damn
im running a completely different rom btw...

"Hands free"is the same as "activation". Sorry that didn't work for you. The only time I had an issue with WiFi, "forgetting" the connection and then logging in fresh was what worked for me. Any other data/ connection issues I've had have been resolved via the hands free reset.
As far as your other question, you don't need to change modems, but it won't hurt if you do.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I have the same problem as OP. Rooted using the Zerg exploit, running stock ROM. When you turn the Wifi on, it only gives you like 5-10s before it turns itself back off, also the MAC address field shows unavailable.
Assuming it's an issue with the root process. The odd thing is mine worked fine for over a week, and just randomly died today while trying to connect to wifi at school. Was going to reflash stock kernel with ODIN, and see if it effects it at all.

My WiFi is working fine with the method I used. Rooted phone and everything.
Not sure if I will be keeping Sprint anyway.
Did a speed test on my moms old LG Verizon phone running at 600mhz. Compared it to my Sprint SGSII running at 1.2ghz dual core. On the LG, I get a little more that 1/2 a meg per second (which is decent in this area) as compared to .01 - .1 meg per second on my SGSII. So there is a BIG difference in speed. I know its not the phone, but the network. Going to do my due diligence and keep the sprint phone for at least another day. But if it goes as it is now, I will be going to a Verizon store Sunday and switching carriers again. Sprint doesnt seem to be better that TMO. Sunday is my 3rd day so if I return everything to sprint, I get a full refund.

Yeah it's hit or miss. In my neighborhood, my buddies with Verizon pull down 1/3-1/2 more bandwidth, but my phone works in any basement in the area and theirs doesn't, go figure. In the mid-town/downtown areas both carriers perform about the same around here (Omaha, NE).
Now if you're talking WiMax and LTE thats a different story altogether.
As for the Thread topic: I think I know what broke mine- I restored a bunch of apps using Appextractor, and think restoring the "Settings.apk" in the system section toasted it. I tried flashing a few different kernels to no avail (Did not try the rogue kernel, however).

Factory data reset brought it back

BIG PROBLEMS, no 3G/4G mobile service since yesterday, tried EVERYTHING

Need some help here. I never usually need help, been modding everything possible on Android for years now. But can't figure this one out, getting worried.
Had my LTE Nexus since launch day. No issues like this before.
Been on all Team Kang AOKP toro ROM updates since release, always on the latest. Stock kernel. Was on build 20 since it came out.
Yesterday at work, had a few bugs from probably not data wiping from build 19, so I wiped it all and re-flashed 20 again. Restored Titanium and started re-setting things up, I believe these are the only things I did. I was at work where I would normally have minimal, but some, service.
Ever since around there, I have not once had a bit of 3G or 4G service. I have not seen the 3G logo for even an instant, only few, gray bars. Wifi works fine of course. It's possible I even lost service before wiping and re-flashing, but I can't recall or didn't notice.
I tried all the usual stuff, wiping everything again, re-flashed AOKP 20, re-flashed other/older ROMs, re-flashed latest radio, restored old Nandroid backups, pulled battery and sim card and put back/rebooted...NOTHING IS WORKING. Also, I have driven through several towns since yesterday so I know it's not a local outage. Also, other people with Verizon phones here have service fine.
I have basically torn the phone down software-wise and nothing has fixed the issue. I still have no service. Each time I re-flash a ROM, it always makes me go on Wifi when it wants me to sign into Google...it never picks up mobile service then or after.
The About>Status screen says:
Network: Verizon Wireless
Signal Strength: shows an actual number reading that changes
Service State: In Service
Roaming: Not roaming
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Please suggest things I can try, but I guaranteed I have already tried them. Can't understand or imagine what is causing this, because I did nothing different than I normally do.
Also, I posted this on Rootz as well, and many replies so far. Still no luck though.
If you have an idea I can try, maybe post there instead at this point for me?
Thanks guys in advance.

Well I did go back to many random earlier, more stock custom ROMs in hopes of a fix, but nothing so far. I am currently back on the stock 4.0.2 ROM that is rooted and deodexed by Bigxie, but I guess I can go all the way back to stock 4.0.1 or 0.2. Will try now.
Went to Verizon and it looks like the sim card swap did it. The girl there was nice and did it without hesitation for me.
She showed me in her computer how under my family account, it wasn't even fully showing my device or something like that. Not sure if it wasn't there at all or if it just didn't show that I had a 4g phone activated on the account...but I'm sure it was related.
Sucks to have to get a swap and still don't know what caused it or if its related to flashing roms, but at least it works! No issues since...
It is possible, but unlikely and no reasonable explanation, that your sim somehow got affected doing all the flashing and stuff.

[SOLVED] Data stopped working

Running CM11 on PagePlus. I cannot access the Internet. I was able to at one time. Thought it was the Rom so I flash CM10.1 and Stock rooted rom. I reactivated the phone after the installs. Every time it says the network is connected but I cannot connect to the Internet or send MMS. Starting to think it is the phone. Any ideas?
More info:
IP address is applied. Able to ping ip address but not some other known ip address. Traceroute does one hop to 66.174.216.161, which seems to be a Verizon ISP. Might try playing with apns-config.xml. I had tried the one I had when it was working previously but did not seem to change anything.
I'm new, but had similar problems

I'm not sure the MMS issue has been resolved, as of yet. Last time I check the Development thread it seemed like there wasn't yet a fix. Someone will correct me shortly if I'm mistaken, I'm sure.
The data problem you're having is one that I struggled with for a couple weeks in CM11... I don't know how much help I can be, because I'm not really sure what ended up actually fixing it for my dINC. All I know is that I spent about three hours dirty flashing and restoring from nand backups, sometimes the full backup and sometimes just partitions. I also threw in a *228 somewhere in there. Anyways, Through persistence, and sheer dumb luck, I finally have a pretty stable data connection, as long as I don't use the mode switcher in DUbattery(that seems to mess 3g up until reboot).
sometimes it helps to toggle airplane mode on then off.
Thanks for the tip. I toggled airplane mode on and off. I could then load google in the browser but it would not do anything after that. I have a new inc and an OG Evo coming in. Might have to retire my inc for the kid to play games on. My wife is using and OG Evo with no data or mms problems on 10.1 and I am sort of digging the larger screen. Also might be able to help zach with troubleshooting cm11 for the evo (supersonic).

Running CM11 on PagePlus. I cannot access the Internet. I was able to at one time. Thought it was the Rom so I flash CM10.1 and Stock rooted rom. I reactivated the phone after the installs. Every time it says the network is connected but I cannot connect to the Internet or send MMS. Starting to think it is the phone. Any ideas?

Glad to know it was not just my phone. I am back on your 2/17 build and was worried there was some leftover firewall stuff even though I wiped everything except emmc and sd-card before the flash.
On another note. I have that other EVO coming in so should be able to load up CM11 and do some logging for you.
So I switched mobile data off this weekend with the silent profile and when I switched it back on using the default profile my data worked.

I'm glad you found a fix! On my dINC, I don't use the profiles, and mobile data crashes randomly. After flashing the March 23rd build, it has gotten somewhat better, but it always seems to skip out when I need it most... specifically.... when I use Google voice search to either dictate text messages or navigate to an address(delivery driver). the latter is especially frustrating, because I only use the navi when I'm already out of the store and can't find something, so no alternative available. Sometimes, even when the 3g symbol is full in status bar, I'll push the voice button and it will say, "cannot reach google *** etc" :crying:
