Just had first los

Out of nowhere seemingly. I'm on ek02 haven't rooted done i'm taking it to sprint site for wonky data connection
sent from my Epic Touch aka Galaxy S 2

Good luck. I went through three different phones before someone actually confirmed it was a problem and it should be fixed with ek02, but it isn't.
I am on EL26 and I had a LOS the other day. I know because I have Tasker set to reboot my phone when it happens.

Yea, this whole thing is ridiculous. I am rooted, running LoStKernal v 2.6.35.7, and have the EL13 modem software. I would try the EL26, but am still on G/B version EG30. Also running Tasker, so I know it happens as well, usually every other day in an area with a very strong signal. The only reason I am not overly pissed about the whole situation is due to Tasker rebooting it for me. Most times I don't even know it happens till I go to return a text to someone and see it there. Phone sits on toolbox, not in pocket.

I have had this phone for almost 3 months now. I am on ek02 modem. had my first los 2 days ago, phone was in locker at the gym, 0 bars on 3g, I believe the phone was on 4 g that day and has a good signal on 4 g. well I didn't pay attention to the phone put it on my side and when I got in my car I saw the red l o s circle. now I was driving in the area with good signal, I tried several things to get the phone service to come back. only a reboot fixed it, pure l o s ! no when I leave it in the locker on 3g, I get no l o s. I think my problem is the 4 g sleeps too much. once in 3 months is in bad I can live with that. I love this phone !

Wasting your time with EK02 and you will definitely get hit with LoS, change the modem to the recent EL13, EL26 and/or EL29 and you will be worry free.

Haven't had LOS since EG30.
It burns when I tapatalk...

I got Los on sensation 2.0 i think that's what its at atm. Last night and all morning kinda sucks.

Ok I'm finally gonna ask. Is the LOS just the signal bars all shaded dark grey or actually a "X" or the do not enter sign? I have never had the LOS which I take it as the "X". I never read a thread about it cuz I never had it, but my colored in 5 bars sometimes is completely greyed out but the signal icon is always there.

Its a circle with a slash through it. Although there is a thing called "ghost" LoS where it still shows you have signal, but text and calls don't go through.

I'm on el26, and had los today, while using the navigation. also, the gps on google map was really off, and i decided to switch to el29. el29 seems to be little bit slower on 3g network down load speed, and much slower on upload speed, compared to el26, but i think it's worth it for the stability of gps signal.

Out of curiosity, are those of you still getting LOS using matching ROM and modem? I find that I have odd signal problems when I mix them. The last LOS I had was on stock EG30 with EG30 modem.
I always keep the modem marching the ROM, and I haven't had one since. I go in and out of roaming all day due to the size of the building I work in, so it had plenty of opportunity to go LOS.

I will admit that mine was mixed, only because I was using LoStKernal which was based on the EG30. I did take the time last night (while my better half was out getting us some daiquries) to flash mine to EL13 across the board. Will try this and see how it goes.
What was wierd about the whole thing, is that I expect to have LOS at home, signal sometimes roams there. But at work in the middle of Baton Rouge with perfect signals showing on phone, that's irratating.

im on Unnamed 2.0.1 and el29 we shall see how it goes

Wow i feel bad yall are experiencing los. I haven't experienced an los since November. I wonder if locations have anything to do with it. I stay out in michigan and other ppl I know with my phone non rooted however have never had the issue at all.

yes my parts are all mixed up, I am still on the exact same set up has when I receive my first los. I am using the phone in the same places as before and haven't seen los again.

I have not seen any l o s on my phone but, my wifi well stop working occasionally since ek02 and it drives me freaking nuts.

Have you ever lost 3g & 1x completely when you shouldn't?

I'm sure sprint is just doing maintenance on the tower but this is the second time that I've lost data after midnight. I know it isn't the phone because I checked another sprint phone and its doing the same thing. Right now I'm on 4g. I should speed test it. Its either that or wifi. In the morning I'm sure it will be back up.

It actually happened to me earlier like a full blown los with the circle with the line through it but it came back like right after it happened which it usually doesn't
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I don't have the los symbol, I only have the bars and no 3g or 1x. 4g works sporatically.

Its been happening to me too, along with the occasional LOS

Same issue here. I first thought I messed up my modem by flashing ek02 from eg30, but I noticed with fb21 modem that it's more stable. However, my wi-fi is less stable. Weird stuff.

I've been seeing 1x show up sporadically over the past couple of weeks, too. Poos up for a minute or two, then goes back to 3g. This is in places where I've always had steady 3g coverage.
I'm in the Milwaukee area.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

I've been having a similar problem. Additionally, it's been taking longer for my phone to reconnect to 3g after losing WiFi or 4g connectivity.

It turns out that after 12 hours I still didn't have data. I called *2 and they said there wasn't an outtage. I am at work so I wouldn't get home to call on different phone to troubleshoot for another ten hours. I went back into recovery and did full wipe of everything and the full format zip. I then installed a rom full install and flashed the el29 modem then rebooted. It worked. I think when restoring a nandroid then flashing a modem it hosed the 3g. Its fixed now. Funny how when I tried to restore it said one was corrupted. Weird

Same to me me today. Had full signal but no data or txting ... Was like wtf

I'm near Houston, the other day I was roaming inside a store where I get great service. Been 1xing a bit lately
But today for half the day and counting, my 3g is broke, but 1x works cause I can get text, call.

My 3g icon stays on even if I disable 3g data. Really weird

Had it happen a bit in VA. Not certain why but seemed to happen in the same place throughout a day or two. May be a coincidence but havent seen it since moving to the FB21 modem.
Edit: of course right after posting this it happened........

I am on 4g here at work and home. My second line with an HTC Touch Pro has been solidly on 1x for days now though. Not sure what the heck is up with that.

I work for a cell phone provider and we partner with sprint as a roaming partner.. We had tons of calls coming in on the day you made the post of data loss.. Tier 1 troubleshooting and a little bit of probing questions and finally a call to tech support we found most with he issue were roaming.. We checked our AAA tool and switch and verified with the customer that they were roaming on the sprint network.. After calling tech.. We were advised that sprint had a nationwide data outage.. People were having no data at all, intermittent, slow, timed out connections, and they ha no ETA.. It caused a bunch of havoc, i cant have my phone on at work but before and after it did work fo me.. Im in phx with no 4g here.. However im either at work or at home.. And when im home im on wifi.. So i rarely have time to test sprints network.. I also have the airave at home.. What i do know tho, is sprints network isnt the best, and they would never admit to a network fail like that.. Then again could have been there associate and didnt know what he was saying..
Edit: entire ride home, and on airave is 1x.. Ive had 3g icon come on constantly and stay on even with wifi on and 3g off completely.. Also had gps get stuck on.. Had to reflash the rom for that one

I haven't checked yet, but i think sprint is doing some network upgrades here.
I can't get and explanation as to why I live 5 blocks from 4g coverage yet require and air rave and have spotty coverage. Very disappointing that I cant my moneys worth for the $10/month premium data fee.
All that said, I will never find a better price for a 5 phone family plan, soon to be 6.

I just got off the phone with sprint. they say there is a 4g outage in the east bay of california (i live in oakland and work in hayward) and my phone lost signal while i was on with them so they are escalating me to their network engineers to figure this out...

I ran speed test after flashing the FD24 modem and they were horrible. I just flashed the FD24 kernel to match and there is a huge difference for the better, almost tripled the download speed and doubled on upload. I am on AOKP for the time being.

Back to fd19
Sent from unnamed 2.0.1 powered galaxy s2 brought to you by sprint

I had flashed the fd24 modem and it broke my mms so i went back to fd19. However, once the aosp fd24 kernal was out, i flashed both.... and BAM!! MMS is working again and so far speeds seem much faster. Wireless tether doesn't lag and i'm happy so far.
Just my experience

Initially it was really bad. I couldnt update the profile or PRL but after a reboot everything got quite better. I have ALWAYS gotten 1.4 something upload on 4G and that's definitely changed a bit. Latency is kinda cruddy.

if you're looking for the AOSP kernel just go get it from TCP's page on AndroidFileHost. That seems to be a good place to check periodically for new aosp kernels and roms.

Seems pretty solid to me.
Pulling about 1Mb down and about 0.6Mb up.
This is with fd24 kernel and modem on CM9

MOST people dont even test during the same time of the day. OFCOURSE speeds will be better/worse. I usually run a few test, flash new modem, then test & judge speeds.

Well, I said that to say you cant run speedtest at like 2 am (where your speeds are likely to be HIGHER), and then flash a new modem at 3pm, test it, get low speeds (peak hours) and say the modem sucks, and speeds arent comparable to a previous modem. You need to test them at nearly the same time.

So what's the verdict?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Test the modem at various hours over the course of a full week, including weekends. If you get high and low speed tests, then the problem is likely at Sprint and has nothing to do with your modem.

OK, so my results have been mixed, I haven't tried the FD24 modem with the FD24 kernel yet only tried the FD24 modem along side the FD19 kernel, but I've had much faster speeds with the FD19 kernel/FD19 modem and the FD24 kernel/FD19 modem. Same speeds no matter the kernel.
Does thebkernel really affect modem speeds?

That's actually pretty bad for 4G. That download speed is what would be expected of a 'good' 3G connection, in the areas where Sprint has upgraded backhaul.

Sent from my calculator watch.

Things are relative. A modem is not going to make a bad area all of a sudden better. The problem with most Sprint areas which have speed issues is the backhaul is overloaded. So as an analogy, a new wifi driver is not going to suddenly make your DSL WAN connection turn into a FIOS connection. If it doesn't make your connection worse or things are slightly better, than that should be a sign of good things for most people. You want the radio to allow you the full potential that is available *in your area*. The radio isn't going fix endemic problems in your area, you just want it to not make things worse.

How come i can't update my profile or PRL? Keeps saying error....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

What I do is reboot to recovery, clear cache and dalvik, flash modem, reboot, update profile then prl then reboot. Sometimes you need to try again on profile/prl. If it doesn't take by the third time then something isn't right. I don't know how to fix that either.

I have been getting pretty good speeds on FD26, however, I started getting frequent LOS today. Was at a music festival earlier, and thought it may be an issue with overloaded towers, but it just LOS'd again at home. I haven't had an LOS issue since pre EL29. Flashed to FB24 a few days ago, then FB26 (nodata) yesterday. Considering doing a full wipe and reflash to see if it cures the issue.

Oops, my bad. I'm used to seeing speeds in bit-terms.

I like it. Smooth overall, i have no major complaints. I have noticed areas where i normally have minimal service, i now have none, and my 3g speeds are terrible. However sprint is also doing some major overhauling, so im going to blame sprint. Ive compared my phone to my wifes stock el29, and i think each user will have a different feel towards things. I love the lockscreens and smoother transitions fd26 has, but i think in my area staying stock is in my best benefit as far as service goes....Looks like if i want my service back i might have to go back to el29. SFHUB, do you think its possible that maybe all the sprint network changes could be the reason for my bad 3g data speeds and poor connections? My wifes phone see's 3g and shows it, maybe 1 or 2 bars, and i show none....however she cant browse online or do anything...just make a phone call....i can do that to....what do u think? I formatted all and did a fresh flash from el29 to fd26 btw....(also im in niles,IL and chicago,IL)

If your wife's e4gt gets signal, then it is probably the modem/kernel in FD26 causing you issues. Also check to see if they are on the same PRL and try update profile.
If that doesn't help, try ##72786# reset from the dialer, you'll need your MSL which you can get using "getprop ril.MSL" in adb shell.

Post your speed test!

The title says it all. Post a picture of your speed test. Also if you want post modem and ROM you use.
I hope in the long run this little thread can help people when it comes to info on modems and setups people are using.

From playing around past several days, it's all around the pacific northwest, Oregon, Washington, etc.
My guess is they're upgrading towers for LTE. 3G speeds are still the same though, that is to say, beyond belief terrible. But 4G has gone nuts. I might try to find a Sprint store in the area and check to see if LTE is live yet.

Beats me as to whats going on... all I know is I've never seen a speedtest result beyond 7mb or so on a GOOD day, now even during busy hours I'm hitting 11, 12, 13... maybe so many Sprint subscribers have cancelled their service due to poor network speeds there's simply now an abundance of bandwidth. lol :laugh:

Beats me as to whats going on... all I know is I've never seen a speedtest result beyond 7mb or so on a GOOD day, now even during busy hours I'm hitting 11, 12, 13... maybe so many Sprint subscribers have cancelled their service due to poor network speeds there's simply now an abundance of bandwidth. lol :laugh:

Notice the same here in Orlando, 4g speeds have never been higher. Could it be people switching to LTE devices and getting off of wimax?

So according to sprint the average lte speed isn't going to be much better than wimax?http://www.sprint.com/landings/lte/index.html?ECID=vanity:lte
