I've had this phone about a month, and I can't have a phone call longer than 15 minutes without the call dropping. It has nothing to do with my location, because I have an Evo and older Epic in the same house and neither of them have a signal problem.
I have tried multiple PRLs and modems, including EL29, EK02, and many of the newer ones like FD19, FD24, FD26, FE07, etc.
Some of the newer modems were terrible, in that once I got loss of signal it would stay that way and I'd have to reboot. With EL29 and EK02, the loss of signal appears for only a few seconds, but when that occurs during a call the call drops.
seems like a weird issue, and looks like you have explored software related issues. One thing you could try is a network reset and force the phone to re-activate on the network, you will need your MSL though. If your device is rooted then you can get it. once you have your msl, go to the dial pad and do ## 72786#, it will ask you for your msl and should reset, this just clears out your programming information and should force the device to go through hands free activation. Not sure if it will help, but I don't think it could hurt.
Tried that also, same problem.
You stated that you've changed prls and modems. Have you tried any different roms?

I'm currently using Blazer 4.1 ROM.
One thing I've noticed, is if I turn off 3G data, then the Loss of Signal occurs a lot less often. Today I had a 40 minute call that didn't drop once I turned off 3G. Before I turned it off, I had 5 consecutive calls drop before they reached 20 minutes.
However, it's not a total fix, because I still get Loss of Signal from time to time with 3G off.
ever find a solution to this? this seemed to only appear when i went from a GB to a ICS rom.. but even after i flashed back to my GB rom/older modem, the problem is still there..
Ive had issues network related on mine. Certain roms well kernals mess with things that need left alone. Are you running one of the LOS kernals? I had constant issues with them. Try doing a full format then flash to stock unrooted eg30 then use ota up to ics. Then flash on. Ive fixed many issues with this method. IT seems when we flash flash flash it messes with it. But flashing back to true stock formated does seem to help

i'll try that, i do remember trying to flash back to stock ICS while trying to fix things and that did not help. i would have figured just restoring my old GB rom would fix things but seems the network issues were stuck.
Thanks

So, i rooted my phone today, bricked it a couple times, then fixed it(this doesnt matter)
Ok, so i was really excited to get this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864445
(I got the trinity, NOTthe Frozen one)
Long story:
So, I install the rom on my phone, no problems...but it seems I'm missing something and I've looked everywhere because i can't sign into Gmail, even with WiFi...Then again, I have no service...3g, or 4g, or for calling. Absolutely no bars in one of the strongest areas of my house. I'm thinking I'm missing some type of modem... I cant find it, I think i found it previously but from a different website, and they didn't even give instructions. Please help me because this is an awesome rom and I don't want to go back to stock rom.
Short story:
-no service, or data service, either.
-Missing some type of "modem" to enable data
-Airplane mode wont turn off. When clicked, it keeps going on and off. Please help!
Thanks in advance.
Not sure if this helps but I was getting major signal drop on 4g. Come to think of it 3g too. I don't think you are missing anything if it boots up and opens. Sometimes devs make tweaks internally that may not be known to us. I know when signal is constantly searching you get major battery drain

Well, at least it's not just me.
For me the only way I've found that reliable works is to Odin back to DI18 and start from scratch.
Unfortunately, I basically can't touch CWM afterwards, because doing anything in it seems to bring the bug back.
Hopefully there's a fix out there for those of us that are continually plagued by this rather bizarre issue.
Seems rather strange that reflashing the modem with Odin doesn't even do the trick.
Just to.let u know you said you bricked your phone a few times. If you brick a phone it doesn't come back. You can't brick a phone a couple times. To answer your question sounds lime you need to reflash the.modem. go into.settings and about phone and see what your baseband version is. It should the same as the software you are on. If you are on dk28 then it should be dk28. Also I would upgrade to eb13 since dk28 is ikd school now and to many bugs that were not fixed. Just my 2 cents. Good luck

So I'm fairly new to rooting and have been flashing a bunch of ROMs since I have and everything has worked fine but today I have noticed that I can very rarely get 3g in my house and a lot of the times its completely gone, I can't even get 1x. I have not messed with radios and I hadn't planned on doing so but what's going on here has anyone else had similar issues? I've flashed different ROMs after full wipes and still am having troubles. What gives?
Edit:
I am also getting really slow USB speeds. Like 10 minutes to put a nandroid backup onto my sd, this used to take a minute or less. What is happening and how can I fix my phone I'm going on vacation tomorrow I need it working
Do a full wipe in recovery, then flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087077
As far as slow SD speed, are you on an AOSP rom? If so, Chad's incredikernel will fix it. Look around on his thread, I think the latest release has it incorporated.
Yea I was trying MIUI so that's that problem.
Edit:
Whew you are a a life safer that brought back my great 3g speeds. I would like to know what exactly this did though and if I can flash new ROMs again and what might have happened to cause the problem.
Another cause for this to happen is that if u flash a Rom with Sprint source and u call the *228 it will mess your phone up and you will need to go back to the incredible official froyo to fix it... I had this issue my self ...

I thought I remembered hearing something about turning the phone on or off while in airplane mode causing this too, but I could be wrong. Glad that you got it working, if you have more questions feel free to ask.
I'm having problems with 3g as well. Has anyone tried applying this then going back to another rom?
It's my understanding that the GB leak fixes it, and you can go back to the rom of your choice after flashing it.
recently i have been seeing issues where i will not hear the phone ring, but i will get the voice mail. I will also place calls via google voice and i have to retry many times before i even get the incoming call to ring the phone. I also have to hit retry quite often throughout the day while using the data. I have as app the shows my signal quality in the notification bar and i am always -86db or -91db in my home. My wife has an epic and hers is working just fine. This started to happen right around ee03 coming out. I have gone back to ee03, ec05 even di18 with eclair! and i still see the issues. any ideas why my phone would be doing this?
Thanks,
JD
When referring to ee03, ec05, di18, etc. are you referring to the ROMs or were you just flashing different modems? I would try backing up all your apps and data and then odin back to stock and go from there.

I have tried both, just the modem as well as the rom and the modem. I even went back to the factory DI18 eclair rom and modem to see if that fixes anything. I still have the missed calls problem. I have never seen anything quite like this before.

I'm sorry to hear that, is your phone still under warranty? Maybe you can get a refurbished from sprint or something. Good luck.
I have got also
this is really weird. I have had my epic since oct 2010. This issue started around may of this year. I had figured that maybe me upgrading the modem had some lingering effects. I've tried all other modems and they do the exact same thing. I want to lean towards the hardware because even a factory reset OS does the same thing. My wifes epic works just fine and i never upgrade hers. Has anyone else seen issues after upgrading modems?
Thanks,

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.

It seems a radio problem. Try to flash the stock ROM from Google.

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.

Has anyone else had constant wifi issues with ics based roms? For example my range seems like it jas dropped dramtically. And if I leave my wifi on and set my phone down even for a small length of time amd pick it back up to browse the web or perform any internet based actiony device just hangs for a while. Its almost like it might be a wifi wake issue. Its really anoying and most times i have to switch between 3g and wifi just to get an internet connection back. I have seen this on all ics flavors i have ran so far. I am currently running a fresh install of ff18 i wanted to have that as my base to try and deduce what the issue could be....

FWIW I have noticed similar with FF18 - didn't have these issues with FF02, the prior build that I had on this phone. I don't get the wi-fi sleep that people mention but I do see the signal drop and the occasional delays in apps. Also did a full flash but copied previous wpa_supplicant.conf due to need for custom file.

Like you they didn't appear until I flashed FF18. I'm considering flashing the FF02 modem to see if this corrects - I'll let you know what happens.
(Odd since there shouldn't be any changes in this process since FE26...)
Yeah try a different modem. The FF modems seem to have issues but FD26 works good for me all around

Flashed FD26 modem everything else is still FF18 right away I noticed better wifi performance but it is still a little early to tell. But apps dont seem to lag anymore while attempting to connect to the internet. And wifi seems to find the routers right away and connect almost instantly. Also while going almost out of wifi range I am still getting a signal and able to surf the internet. Before if I was almost out of range I couldnt do anything and had to drop my wifi connection and switch to 3g. So these are the things I have noticed so far but I will continue testing and report back.
On a side note I had an office space sound board installed it was 20 or so MB and after flashing the model it was uninstalled and everytime I try and reinstall it I get an error that says "Can not install onto sd card" I thought this was really crazy and should be completely unrelated. Yet now I cant reinstall this app. So I am wondering if there is some kind of bug in FD26 though could possibly inhibit certain apps from being written to the sd card?
