Hi guys, I don't usually ask for help because I just lurk around to find a solution to my problem, but I have since moved into an apartment on campus where I have poor reception, and I can't seem to find a solution to this problem. The thing is the phone actually has the signal bars filled up sometimes but I get the yellow triangle sign that says no signal. I tried flashing a new baseband to my phone and it still didn't have any effect. I am running on gingerbread right now on my arc. If you guys can help me out I would appreciate it so much. Thanks!
I have this app to boost 3g up and it somewhat works, but I usually just turn off and on 3g and it'll probably be back up to normal
Which ROM? stock?
yea I have the stock rom, and I dont need the 3g since I dont have the data plan, the thing is, sometimes I am able to get reception without the warning sign, but it is very seldom. Thanks the for the help.

Hi guys, i recently bought a dash, and ive just updated my ROM to the new Kavana 080308 version. Now before i did that i was running WM5, and i was constantly noticing that the reception would drop completely, and i wouldnt be able to make/receive calls etc. There would be a "searching" message next to my carrier information.
Since ive updated to WM6, i was hoping that problem would be fixed however no such luck. Its constantly dropping reception to zero. I love this phone but not having reception kinda...ruins you know...the phone part
My radio firmware is 4.1.13.51_03.07.09
So what gives? is there a fix for this? Is the signal dropping off completely when it bottoms out a certain level?
any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
i'm pretty sure that's the latest radio fw.
u sure it's just not where you live? if so... maybe you have a bumb phone?
well it happens completely random. It seems whenever there's an area with poor reception, rather than GINVING ME poor reception...it drops completely.
A quick google search confirmed that its not just my phone that exibits this kind of behavior.
I was just wondering if anybody had heard of such a thing and if there was a fix...
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:

(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

hello forum..i been having a problem getting 3G on my evo i dont know what else to do i been looking online for fixes and no success so far (obviously) sometimes i get 3G for a few minutes other times it shows 3G but its greyed out but most of the time theres just no service at all...i am in a 3G area i can connect to 4G but very little (not really in my area) and i connect to wifi...im rooted but im on the stock sense rom till i figure this out..i called sprint and did a few resets but it didnt last after i hung up (of course) ...please help..any information would be appreciated
p.s. let me know if you need anymore info
Well, are you in an area where Sprint's 3g network is overloaded [therefore slow]?
The switches at the towers are set to send phones to 1x [to reduce the load] in times where it's necessary.
That sounds like it's what's happening to you.
Especially since you sometimes get 3g.
i wish it was but the other evos in this house have full 3g -__- im hoping perhaps theres a way to refresh or restart my 3g if thats even possible?
I don't how much help this would be but if you call Sprint they can send refresh signals to your phone. Maybe try that? Edit: Not sure if these are the resets your talking about.

You can turn the radio off and on via settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks > data enabled
It's important to note that, just because other phones are getting 3g and you're only sometimes getting it, it could still be the switches at the tower.
You can try updating your radio to the newest version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
Or wiping and reflashing/ruu your rom/kernel.
Sprint could also completely reset your line [on their end] and cause the phone to re-provision.
thank you i will definitely try this ...but how do i flash the radio? in recovery?

That is correct.
does it mean anything if i flashed the radio and it started loading and went to the main recovery part like like where it says reboot, install from sd, ect?

It just prepared it.
Now you have to restart the phone and it will go to a screen and you have to sit and wait for it to finish.
DO NOT TAKE THE BATTERY OUT.
It can take a few.
''/ still no luck...but thank you
Still need help...btw my battery is shot could this possibly be a culprit? my battery does last more then 3-4 hours
My data works. I'm getting 3G speeds (approx 2 mbps). There are NO other errors on this phone except the random Error 104 and only sometimes Error 67. I've updated my PRL to the 11115 version. I can leave my phone on and not touch it, the data connection randomly kicks out, goes stale, the sending arrow is active, but nothing responds. I have to cycle my data connection off then back on, and that usually fixes it.
It does this A LOT. So much so, I put a Mobile Data on/off widget on my home screen. The internet works just great when it works, how can I get the connection from basically stalling out ALL the time?
If you've had this issue, or are having this issue, please respond.
The donor phone was a w385 (which is a 1x phone I know, but again, I'm getting 3G speeds, guaranteed - when it works right, I can stream HD Youtube videos with no problem at all). How can I get this connection to go up and STAY working??
I'm pulling my hair out over this one...
Mine is doing the exact same thing. Started this morning, has been perfect for the month or so I have had it on boost. Its been driving me crazy all day.
Mine's been doing it since I got it. I was primarily in a wifi area, now I'm strictly on 3G and I can't stand it. I'm so desperate for a fix, especially if it's something I'm doing wrong...
Out of curiosity... have you changed anything, like a kernel or ROM? If it's a kernel, what did you change it to? Trying to see if we have any similarities in our setup and work backwards from there...
I haven't changed anything at all. Im running stock rom with nothing but factory updates, have done nothing to this phone except root it before it was flashed. Just went to sleep with it working fine and woke up next morning to this. I haven't been getting the error code today as much but still having to turn data off then back on a lot. im about ready to throw this phone out the window and go sign a contact lol
I'm having the same problem. I just flashed my phone over to boost mobile a few days ago and I had a hard time getting 3g data to work. I was getting 1x data only. So I got the different passwords that I needed and 3g started working. But for some reason, after about 5 min or so, the data would just become stale and nothing would work (web pages, twitter, etc) even tho the data icon and arrows were still present. Its been happening ever since I flashed. I'm not sure what's causing it but if anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate a response.

It's your location. I moved from Haslet, TX down to Austin, TX, and I haven't had a single problem in Austin. Just to confirm, I went back up to Haslet, BOOM instantly started happening.
It's an error with the towers in particular locations. I confirmed it by calling up Sprint, and asking them to check in Haslet's zipcode for any issues, and they did confirm there are issues in that area.
I was sooooo ready to dropkick this phone. Sorry for the unfortunate news, but with Sprint's little network upgrade, it's causing these issues.

Thanks for the update man. I was about to go crazy!! Well hopefully they can get this issue worked out pretty soon here because this is getting ridiculous
Yeah I had to update this to let those with the issue know. I couldn't stand it!
Well I'm in Atlanta and mine quite giving error codes but internet is slow as hell right now. it does it at my house, job, our wherever I'm at. 40 miles away and still does it.
That's cause you're still in the same market.
Hi all
So I know that many people have reported the same issue but no one ever seems to come to a conclusion on what is causing the problem...Some say it's the network, some say it's the software etc. Anyway I'm hoping to get to the bottom of this, my issue is as follows:
I see signal issues multiple times a day where I have signal bars and phone calls and texts work but data does not. The only thing which resolves the issue is a full reboot.
I currently run Cloudy G3 2.2 in my imported 32GB G3, I saw the same issues on the stock ROM too though. The signal issues only seem to occur when the signal drops to a low "H" signal...all the time i am in the office I have a full "H" signal and do not see the issue...the issue only occurs when the signal drops quite low...even when it goes back to full again the issue remains until I do a full reboot.
Anyone got any idea what this is all about? I don't want to have to switch phones to get rid of this issue....
Thanks
Just to be sure, did you flash the lollipop baseband when you installed cloudy
Ermmm I thought it came with the baseband?
Just checked and i do indeed have the Lolipop baseband...any other ideas? From searching around it seems a lot of people have this issue!

Id say if it happens on Stock Rom as well its probably a network issue related to the cell towers in your area. So i wouldnt worry too much about it
Can't be that either as it happens in multiple locations which are all around an hour from each other I'm gonna have to sell the phone at this rate and get a one plus one or something

Try Flashing 'Newer' Modem, first.....

I have the latest 20p version already though, there are no newer versions
Have a case open with Vodafone (they have simply suggested sending the phone in for repair, not an option for me) and have a case with LG too who have only suggested basic things so far (none of which have worked) aiming to get both of them to progress the cases to their engineering teams
