My phone has always randomly had a little glitch. For some reason, once every so often my 3G icon just disappears and stuff like my internet and market dont work. SMS still works fine though. Normally just a reboot fixes the problem but today I had to pull the battery. This happened even when I was fully stock but now I'm running DC 3.2.3 still with the stock kernal. Any similar experiences?
Running all-stock with no root. Happens to me also.
Full bars for signal (calls and texts) but the 3G icon stops transferring. I just put the DATA widget on my homescreen and toggle it. Not really a big deal...so far.
Same things happening to me it wont connect to 3g and freezes most of the time. Just started about 2 days ago

Anyone know anything about this problem? My phone now randomly restarts even when im not using it from trying to connect to 3g im guessing. Keyboard also stops working randomly

are you running a rom?
...If you are you should try flashing a stock rooted and see if the problem still exists. If it does you may want to try to unroot, go back to stock and update everything. Then you can narrow down if it is rom/software/hardware related
Yes i am running stock rom rooted. What do you mean by update everything?

I was also running stock rooted at first. Here is a weird update I just came across though. I've installed (and uninstalled) SwitchPro, which is basically a more customizable widget than the stock power control widget, 3 times now. And every time I add the actual widget to my home screen my 3G instantly disappears.....wtf? I uninstall it and reboot my phone and it's back to normal.
I'm gonna dig in to this a bit after I get back from the gym.

I just meant that if you unroot the phone, make sure your radio's are updated to stock, update your profile and prl, then you could determine if it is hardware related or maybe you just have a bad signal?

I think he means Device Self Service. Updating your PRL, Firmware and Profile.
I forgot to mention that when my 3G becomes "sketchy" this is the 1st thing I do. After that do a soft-reset and pull the battery out.
##RTN# - enter MSL - click menu, reset.
This is the only way I've found to fix this.
It wipes out ALL of your information so make sure you are backed up and synced. It is just like getting the phone new out of the box - it will auto-activate and you should be good to go.
If you don't have your MSL, call Sprint technical support and ask for it.
Thats pretty disapointing that that seems to be the only awnser. Will try when iget back from my vacation. The problem that makes me really mad is that it reboots randomly even when the screen is off in my pocket. Any backup app recomendations?

So my brother has an EVO as well as mine, and he called me and told me he was having data issues lately, he brought it over to me and side by side his phone was getting 1x and mine had 3g, I figured his phone might just say it has 1x but really has 3g, ran a speed test and had 128kbps download speed when my phone would get 1mbps, and our phones were side by side...also it wouldn't connect to data at all sometimes....I tried updating all the radios and doing the ##data# thing and changed it to cdma only but still nothing changed, his phone is rooted and running synergy rls1, I also tried different roms, still nothing
Any help would be appreciated, I tried everything I read in other threads...my brother would really like to have his data working properly again...
Thanks in advance

I can tell that different phones have been acting different lately. Try updating prl and profile. I was getting 1x with cm7 all weekend and almost considered on taking it back to sprint tech. Now today it has been flawless. Give it a couple of days and see how it goes. Synergy doesn't have the newest ota in it.might wanna try and give MikG a try. Also what rom are you using?

What rom are you using. My wife has the 3d and she was getting great reception with hers. I am running cm7 and I was stuck at 1x for like 2 days. Rls1 Synergy hasnt been updated in a while. I dont like to bring Myn's work but give like Freshrom or MikG a try and see if anything improves. Always be sure to wipe everything and update PRL and profile.

Try turning on airplane mode and let it sit for a minute or two, then turn airplane mode off and see what happens. Works on my phone when it get's stuck in 1x. As indicated in a previous reply, try updating profile as well.

try flashing to classic and see if the phone setting is forced to roam (under phone settings i think). i had similar issues when i played with the force roam feature in classic and didn't set it back before flashing another rom. couldn't get it to connect to 3g even though ##3282# > evdo was set to auto.
also, by setting ##3282# > evdo to cdma only, you are telling the phone to connect to 1x only.
When I flashed his phone to classic I made sure every setting was the same as mine, so I think I went through the roaming area but I will check again when he comes over

But recently my signal bar disappeared, like its there but has no bars no matter where I am. I can send and receive phonecalls perfectly so my reception is fine. Just annoyed a little that the signal bar isnt there anymore. I tried to restart my phone and everything and nothing fixed it. Any help?

Any recommendations for a radio to flash? Or do I just flash the same radio? Also, can you point me to a good thread explaining radios if possible and flashing them?
Additionally, if I do a nandroid backup, will my radio be backed up in case something goes wrong and I can just restore back to the original? Thanks!

Hey guys. I noticed a lot of people, including myself, have been getting the dreaded process com.android.phone force close message upon booting up new ROMs.
This only happens when trying to connect to data. Turn it off, and the force closes stop. Well, I believe I've found a workaround using an APN file I've found floating around on the Carbon ROM thread!
Upon booting, just keep clicking the OK message to skip past the FC errors and the ROM setup process, and then disable your data as soon as you can. Connect to wifi, go to the Play store and install your favorite root browser. Download the linked APN file at the bottom of this post to your phone, and open up your root browser. Copy the APN file you downloaded, then go to system/etc, delete the stock APN file and replace it with the new one. Set permissions to rw-r-r, reboot into recovery, and do a factory data reset. Boot back into ROM and voila, you should be good!
Note that this may or may not fix your data problems, as every phone is different and some of you are on different carriers. This method has been working for me ever since I started doing it a couple of days ago, and almost every new ROM I've installed recently have given me the FC error. That is no more with this new APN, and I even get a better data connection than before. Hope this helps you all!

*****EDIT*****
This method has also fixed my data problems on the new KitKat ROMs as well. Before, I wouldn't even get data on the new KK ROMs, and if I did, 3G would go away and never come back when switching between wifi and data. Replaced the APN, and my data came back stable, even when switching to wifi.

Okay, I've been seeing this complaint around the forums recently, so I'll say this.
For as long as I've ever owned a smartphone, 3G/4G ALWAYS turned off for me whenever I was in a phone call, but I could still browse the internet and stuff. Maybe now things are different with this phone/these ROMs, and data is actually blocked when in a call, I don't know. It's not an issue to me, though, because I really don't use data while in a call. So hopefully this issue can get cracked down further for you guys who do.

I can confirm that no matter what ROM I've been on, when I made or received a call, my 4G/3G symbol would disappear, but if I was on 4G I could still access the internet. Not with 3G of course. I'll need to get to a 4G area and test this.

For CM10.2 it works fine. For stock it is fine it just seems to be this KitKat that is a GSM build that is being worked over a bit for CDMA. That is where the problem lies.

I wonder if this has to do with our builds coming from the nexus 5, since it is a tri-band LTE device. It does not have the capability to be connected to LTE and CDMA at the same time. Are there any radio files we are grabbing from the nexus 5 that might be causing this behavior to occur?
Check out this article, it talks about the inability of the tri band devices to be connected to LTE while using voice/text:

This did not work for me on the AOSP 4.4 ROM either. I have tried several times and still get force closes. I am running fine on CM10.2 though.
Does this fix the issue with switching between 4G to 3G? While on the Omni rom, if I'm connected to 4G and it loses signal, it doesn't connect to 3G. Or, if I want to turn of 4G and only use 3G, it never connects.
For some reason, when I put it, the system just disregards it. It says successfully deleted and pasted too. When I delete the old one and paste the new one it says "Do you want to overwrite?" even though the old one is gone. Anybody got anything?

(JediX20 and JediMaster + PacMan 4.2.2 and 4.3 + Stock Firmware Samsung 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 and even updated to 4.3 and downgraded back to 4.1.2) Nothing seems to work sometimes when I boot up ill have signal and my phone will work. Sometimes ill make a call while I have 3 signal bars or more and the phone will just be in dialing mode and after 10 seconds or so my signal will cut off and the call will disconnect saying there is no signal or "out of service area" and as soon as it hangs up my service bars reappear. And then there are times where the phone will show no signal strength at all for the whole time. In all instances data will still work. I have flashed and recovered through odin multiple times but I know the issue lies within the software I just dont know where. EFS maybe? I even thought it was in factory mode and downloaded titanium backup and deleted every "Factory Test Mode" I saw. Still no luck and im bout to the point im about to chunk it. Any ideas of why it is doing this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Possible on the EFS...but that file is really an all or nothing deal...
It is possible to have a bad antenna or radio chip....but I do agree with you on a software fix first...to include a custom APN setup with experimented entries...
I've also heard that arbitrarily bouncing between 4.1 and 4.3 roms does alter the partition structure slightly ...but after looking into the EFS on both frameworks....I've noticed they have the same size and the information is identical...
I wish that I had more help for you....g

My phone has always worked flawlessly until now. The signal can be normal but when I make a call it rings forever. .. the signal drops..my phone says it's out of service area and hangs up. .. and soon as it hangs up the signal bars reappear. .. in that specific order.

If a radio/ril package doesn't repair the situation for you...and a complete return to stock fails also....(stock contains radio/ril )...
Then you should consider a hardware repair...
The note 2 had antenna issues on some devices...g

Greg,
Do you know where I can get details about the antenna issues. I searched several forums that pointed to the usb flex. I just replaced mine and still have the same problem of weak signal and constant signal drops.
Thxs
Thanks man ill try this out. Isnt there a way to just wipe the efs, system,data, dalvick, cache in TWRP and start fresh?
Do "NOT" wipe your EFS FOLDER...and do "NOT " re-partition your device in Odin either...
Simply use TWRP and wipe system ...data....dalvik...and cache...
Also ....you can wipe your internal storage as well if your important items are stored on the external SD....(photo's etc.)..
And as for the antenna question ...just Google it....g

I was poking around in my efs folder and went to Factory Apps and found a factory mode script. I opened it up in RB text editor and found that the script said on so I assume that it being on must have had something to do with the call feature. I changed the script from on to off and saved it. Soon after I tried making a bunch of calls its been working flawlessly but in exchange the lockscreen will not show up nor does the option to reboot/power off/airplaine mode shows up. Im going to Keep testing the calls in the meantime.

Im experiencing a problem nearly identical to yours. I have an i317 unlocked using a Tmobile SIM. Everything was working fine until I flashed a rom (I believe I accidentally flashed a rom with a Tmobile radio which boot looped the phone). After fixing the bootloop and flashing the cyanogen mod rom, I started experiencing the frequently dropped signal.
I have downgraded and gone back to stock several times which has not fixed the problem
After reading this thread I changed the factory mode script to off, but it doesn't seem to have affected the radio performance.
I remember reading that the partition could possibly be corrupted in a bad flash. What is the best way to reformat the partion?
Any help greatly appreciated
Did you reboot the phone afterwards?

Yea still no luck. But after about 3 days and a crapload of flashes I ended up flashing jedix20 and added the alexander theme..which suprised the hell out of me...the stock jedi had less signal bars like 1 or 2. I flashed alexander theme and my bars are from 2-4 with 4 being the best. Everything seems to be working. I had also did a test and made sure that my Network in setting was registered to the HOME network. That may have played a factor as to why the network wouldnt work even with signal bars. I flashed JediMasterX2 and ran across an issue like that. I flashed the att carrier files and it didnt work. Then I flashed the 7105 version and checked the Network operators and searched for a network. It pulled up AT&T and Verizon and when I chose AT&T and it registered my phone everything started working. I dont really like messing with the system files but I investigated the Jedimaster zip and looked under Jedi> carrier> att> and opened up the cscversion.txt under rb text editor and it showed an incorrect version. I317ATTAMA4....which im assuming was supposed to be I317ATTUCAMA4. Also under the SW Configuration. Xml the csc version was still the same. AMA4 it may be nothing but I would have thought it would have needed to match up. Ill have to look into it some more. I really want to update but hell idk. Might be done trying to flash roms on this device if everything works right

Would the phone having factory test and factory mode on the phone affect it any. I seem to have 2 factory mode apps with one being 560kb and the other 84kb. I don't know if those could affect the signal performance

Tbh. I honestly never got it to work right. I tried for months to get it to work right and to no avail. I ended up selling it and getting the note 3.
