Pageplus ics data issue - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got my evo 4g 2 days ago.I use pageplus for my provider. I had to flash the evo to get it to work. Everything went great. On any gingerbread rom everything works. I have tried every ics rom and everything works great except i only get 1x data.I'm not sure if it is an apn issue, but i dont know how to change the apn in ics. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

update
I know now its not the APN. I didn't realize that had to do with mms and that part works great. Weird thing is i can flash back to any gb rom and i get 3g again. I understand it might not be true 3g but you can tell a huge difference from the 1x i am getting on any ics rom. Does anyone have any ideas what i can do to get the 3g working on the ics roms?

have you tried rebooting 1 or 2 times after the ics flashes? usually that clears up a lot of problems people have when flashing the ics roms. i personally have never had this issue and have always been on sprint so i can't really help you but figured id throw this at you
edit: also what ics rom have you flashed because im running the team D.I.R.T. cm9 port and its simply flawless so far

Thanks for the advice. I have rebooted many times, no luck. I tried every ics rom i found in here. Everyone drops my data to 1x. As soon as i flash a gb rom i get 3g back. Is there a setting i need to find or a way to force it back to 3g?

in miui i think there is a setting to force 3g but i think thats the only rom that does it. gb or ics. so im not really sure about straight ics. sorry

[Q] CM7 Bootloop Curse

So i`ve been reading all these threads about people having bootloops while running CM7,and its pretty darn scary to think your EVO can turn into a paper weight out of the blue. So heres my question, i am running Bloodykillers CM7 for Metropcs and im really worried about it doing the bootloop even though i`ve been using it for two weeks with no problem. Is there any othe roms besides Bloodys that work with Metro? Any advice as always is greatly appreciated.

I don't know if there's any other rom that works for Metro but here's what I would do because I'm on Boost and this has work for me. I would go to the market, download APNBackup or something like that.....back up your APNs.....boot into recovery, back up your ROM completely and flash a rom that doesn't update your PRL, Radio or anything crazy like that. If it boots up the new rom then just go into the market, download the APNBackup app again and restore your APNs. Once you do that, do a reboot and check your things out like MMS, SMS and talk.
Now keep in mind that I did this with Boost so I don't know if it would be successful with metro so do this at your own risk!
GOOD LUCK dude!
Oh and I'm on CM7 RC2 and I haven't got any random bootloop or anything crazy at all soooo...I don't know what you were talking about dude!

Poor to none 3g speeds

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.

[Q] weak or no 3g

iv been on CM 7 or using Decks version of CM 7 also tried 7.1
using the stock CM kernel or salvage zen
using the newest radio pri prl .. etc
i have been getting 1 bar 3g but more often now i have been seeing a lot of 1x signal .. the other three phones in my house are all EVO's and seen to have an alright signal (note mine is the only rooted one)
is there anything i can do to get a better 3g signal ... 4g works just fine
im going to attempt to flash to a sense rom to update the profile to see if that helps .. is there any way to update the profile on the CM rom as well?
i had the same problems a few days ago so i unrooted brought into sprint they flashed new software and claimed i had to get a new phone. when i got home 4g and 3g worked despite what they said. you could try that if your desperate.
i did unroot the device and bring it to sprint .. the CSR there udateed all software and the 3g worked .. brought it home rooted it again .. still worked ... i flashed to the CM7.1 rom now its usually on 1x and randomy gets 3g .. Seems like its happening on CM7 - CM7.1 and the last 2 Deck roms .. all of which are Senseless roms .. radio is all up to date and all .. any other ideas??
i hope you did a nandroid back as soon as you got into recovery before flashing cm7. cause if not you may end up with the same problem again, having to bring it in.
i think ill be alright once i solve this
good luck then

How to fix Call Dropping ???

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?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
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

[Q] Modems and loss of signal sph-d710

Hello all i am new here. ive been rooting for a little while now and i have nothing but issues with my modems and connection. Im running The Blu Kuban ICS 1.0.4.0 with steady hawkins fd02 kernal with cwm. ive tried mutliple roms and kernals and every modem out there. every speed test i run on 4G i get under one meg. before on a stock el29 even rooted i would get 13 to 15 megs. but as soon as i install any rom GB or ics its dead. i am look for any suggestions i can get. thank you for your time. and yes im aware of looking around the site. i have not seen anything that really equals to my issues.

Too me your issues are not exactly something the community can help you with especially if you have tried everything out there. I would just odin back to complete stock and try your speed test again. If you achieve the speeds you want then I would then proceed with flashing roms only and do speed tests after every one.
Honestly the EL29 modem has worked the best for me and I am on CM9. I know you are looking for answers but I unfortunately don't know what they could be other than just keep trying. Different modems work better for different people in different areas. So the resolution for one may not be the resolution for all in this case.
Final choice may be what did you root your phone too do. If its just tethering then Foxfi can cure that with out being rooted. I guess its a matter of whats most important too you if you cant get back up to the speeds you desire...
Edit: Have you done Profile Updates after updating modems? Have you done PRL updates at all? Have you asked Sprint to refresh your data?
I have tried the prl and profile on about 75 of the modems ive flashed. some are 50/50 some see very minor jumps and some seem to decrease. i thought about calling sprint but i was nervous if they would ask about the specs that i dont have due to the phone being rooted and flashed. ive seen a post about how the phone may be stuck in 1x in the radio or something along those lines. but once i get into the debug mode all of the menus and everything that is packed in is way out of my league. im going to wait for the kuban update. i will start from square one and test everything out. EL29 did wonders for me stock root but once i flashed over to caulk or blu kuban it all seems to go down hill. i really like the layouts and the battery life thats why i always come back to a custom rom. thank you for helping me.
