Phone is stuck on 1x service

I've been stuck on 1x and no svc bars all day, and on and off yesterday. Keep getting the data roaming message.
Called sprint and they ran me through a bunch of trouble shooting, as usual, but could not resolve it. She said that my internet wasn't updating or something. Opened a service ticket and told me to take it in to the store so they can check the device.
Anyone have this problem before, and how did you fix it?
I'm currently running srf 1.2, genocide 2.0, honycomb fusion explosion theme, ec05 modem, and I have an airrave.
My wife's epic is also stuck on 1x, and the blackberry on our extra line also says 1x with 1-3 bars.

My issue isn't that similar, but recently was the first time I've even seen "1x" on my phone. I literally have never seen my phone on 1x before, in fact, I thought it wasn't even possible on Sprint (Like, I didn't know it had the same name).
If all your phones are stuck on 1x, then it is most likely something with the service. You already did everything I could think of, so I'd just take it to Sprint again and tell them that it's been happening for a while and you've already been to a store, but it's becoming a real issue and you shouldn't have to be charged for a service that does not provide what they have offered, or something threatening like that.
Hope you can fix the issue soon,
Acer

I feel better knowing someone else also is experiencing this. Since like Thursday I haven't had a reliable 3g connection whatsoever I keep getting the "1x" icon also.

Same...wonder if it's something up with Sprint.
I literally haven't seen that phone have the 1x icon in the 13 months I've had it.

I've had trouble, but with updating my PRL and Profile. Once I read this, I've kinda conviced myself that somethings up on Sprints end, and not ours. Could this be part of Sprints Network Vision in action?

It could be the airrave. I had trouble getting a 3g connection the first time we set ours up.

Roll Tide Roll!

Same here with 3 epics for 2 days, called Sprint and had them push a refresh on all 3, then I updated prl and profile on all 3, been working for about 10 hours now on all 3.

Wow! I knew I would get some response to this, but not that everyone is having the same problem...lol! Well, that sucks. I wondered about the airrave, but I mentioned a few times to the phone rep that I had one, and she never said anything about it. She did say they were no problemswith the service in my area. I'll have to see what happens when I leave for work tomorrow. Does make me wonder if sprint has something brewing that is messing up everyone's service.

I'm going to give this a try, its really annoying because the one bar I now get(id get usually 4-6 bars like a month ago) puts me somewhere around 50kbps...

Reset the Airave and your router and modem. They screw up the Airaves all the time. Airave techs direct line is 866-556-7310.

Update= 3g still working on all 3.

Oh and I have no airave.

Back on 3g today. Not sure what the problem was this weekend. I had no data when I got up, but rebooted the phone and so far so good. Full bars again, at home. I did switch roms last night. Installed miui with the data fix just to see if it made a difference. Didn't make a difference last night, but its working fine so far today.
Going to reset the airrave after work anyway, just in case. Are you guys back to normal today as well?

I was going to say I was back to normal but just as I hit "quote" my 3g went away and went back to 1x then I gt an error saying "sign in fail"

Does anyone else have this 4g issue?

The disparity between download and upload is driving me insane.. I've tried everything I can think of to no avail... Could this just be my local tower? It has been this way for months since I moved in.
Why would upload always be at least twice as fast as download?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Maybe a lot of people use that tower or it's quite overloaded with not enough sufficient backhaul...
I actually get them in some areas but its usually the highly congested areas.

Yeah, check the last few pages of this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771294

Well... That is unfortunate. Hopefully this fix will make its way to aosp and cm in the near future because this is abysmal

Galaxy note 2 and simultaneous voice and data

I just picked up this phone and can't get on the internet while on a phone call. Does it support simultaneous voice and data while on 3g like the galaxy s3? I changed mobile settings but still no go.

I thought the simultaneous-ness was due to the S4 Snapdragon and it's radio's being placed in different places.
I had this work on my HTC EVO LTE

WHAT??!! This was huge on the S3. Man, I'm thinking twice about upgrading to the Note2 now.

This phone really can't do simultaneous voice+data? Exynos fail.

I believe Sprint 3G never support simulteneous voice/data. When you make a call data drop to 2G. That said, 4G WiMax can be use with voice. I believe LTE is or will be also, but I don't remember for sure.

Deal breaker, lol, whew, I needed a reason not to sell stuff/spend money I don't have on the bad ass but nevertheless no svdo=royal pain in the ass downloading roms and such
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

To each their own, but the simultaneous voice and data was a nicety, not a necessity.
Sent from the second version of a hefty "Note" pad.

I was thinking about getting the S3 because of this, but I'm almost always around Wifi at home & work. The phone can do voice & data assuming it has either a Wifi or LTE connection, right?
Also and somewhat related, is the Note 2 HD voice ready? I'll be moving to an LTE covered area in the near future, so I'm REALLY hoping for a yes on this.

I love it. Here comes all the jealous and hating owners of other phones trying to say our phone sucks cause they can't chat and surf the web at the same time. I say big freaking deal who the hell talks that much anyways any needs internet at the same time? Is it really a deal breaker? I seriously doubt it. All you guys would swap phones with us in an instant.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

The assumption here is that when LTE hits "our" market, you will be able to do this correct?
For me, I assist my kids' soccer teams. There is nothing like having a parent call you for directions and being able to mark their current location then provide real time directions from their current location.
So, yes, to "some" of us it is important.
Deal breaker, no, "if" its coming.

I agree that it's not a huge deal. Just an annoyance. Sometimes I am downloading small files from internet on 3g at work(no Wi-Fi ) and receive a call. If I answer, download fails, so I either can't answer the call or have to restart download. With my slow 3g that is kind of a pain in ass.

Having left Apple after being an iPhone owner since the 3rd generation, I can say that I am neither jealous or a hater... But, not having Voice and Data is just "stupid" especially when it was on the S3, which I would venture to guess is where a lot of Note 2 users will be migrating from... Just my 2cents...

This makes it seem that there might be a software workaround?
Not having SVDO is a shame. Especially after having a EVO4GLTE, which has it, it is hard to give it up.

Great article, thanks for the link.

This is what happen when we all crave that quad core i use it alot on my s3 was thinking of getting the note 2 today this may put me off

Getting frustrated

I have no idea why but the past day my phone has been acting stupid. It will send some time texts perfectly fine, but after so many it keeps saying they failed. Like right now I got 3 texts out before it did it. Then I reboot, a couple more and does it again, but apparently the person on the other end is still getting them. I have good signal (I should considering I have a damn airave right below me) I've been running Blu Kuban 1.0.5.0 since it came out so I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM. Please someone help me.

Are you serious? A tropical storm hits the east coast and your profile says that you're in Pennsylvania, and you're complaining about terrible service?
Of course you are experiencing terrible cellular reception. There is a major storm!

Sprint sucks sometimes sending messages. It's not your location and it's not Sandy. It happens all the time it's just Sprint's network. I always hit resend even tho I know they go thru just so I won't see the failed symbol and get complains of double texting lol

Think there is something to do with sandy. Since yesterday I have had speeds reduced by about 90%. From 1.3 Mbps the last 3 weeks to 120kbps download and upload. I'm Los Angels by the way.

If IMEI is intact, it's a T-Mobile issue. I was replying to say that I've had this issue before, once. I was going to call them to complain, but it was fixed in under 24 hours.

Happens to me here and there. sometimes I lose internet conection for 30min to and 1hour. I already called tmobile and told them bout it and how it started happening after they activated lte -.- they said its weird that it shouldn't be happening what should actually be happening is the data speeds geting faster. All they did is reset my data conection and gave me $5 credit for 6months:banghead:

Have you tried Odin flashing the Stock firmware? Wipe data to test clean? Try any other modems?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Iv tried flashing stock via odin and it didn't help :/ so I called and got a replacement so far it hasn't happen anymore the thing that sucks is that the replacement I received is defective the home button is not sticking out how its supose to so I called and place another order but they are out of stock I kinda got upset when I was told I would have to wait like bout a week or so to receive my replacement so I asked if later on the road the home button started giveing me problems was I allowed to exchange for a replacement I wss told yes so I cancelled it cuz I could live with my phone like that not really a big thing
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Sometimes if you press the issue they will replace it with a comparable model. They certainly have the T999L in stock if you want to ask if that's a possibility. Dont expect it to work, but could be worth a shot...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I called T-Mobile but they just reset the lines well that's what they said.
And nothing still the same data drops, iam going to try odin flash and I would see if that helps
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

If the flash doesn't help, wait another day or two and call back if it doesnt improve. Tell them you'd like to have a help ticket escalated because their last attempts did not help. Just try to get them to put you in contact with a tech who has the ability to deal with things on a more specific level. Most likely you only got the first level of support. They don't have many permissions to deal with a lot of issues. A lot if them are told that account resets will fix everything it seems like!
Hopefully though, things will jusy improve as they work on towers and upgrades.
