Have you tried checking for updates in settings? Sprint did say it would be over a 6 week period.

Are you on a stock ROM? That's the only way you will get the update over the air.
ya, im on stock... I check for updates everyday. In my notification, it said within the next 2 weeks & it has been about 1 month. just wondering if any1 else had this issue. I guess the hurricane could have affected the time line..We were hit pretty bad & still have alot of towers damaged.

We're trying to determine the "root" (pun intended) of the problem so if you wanna come in here and start a fight go find a local bar to do so. We need to try and locate the source of the problem so either post something useful or walk away.
There seems to be some confusion and I dont know if its being ignored or what but theres an issue with these kernels that needs to be looked into further before new ones continue to be released.
Theres an obvious problem for a good amount of people and everytime I look I see comments that there isnt a problem. So heres everything I could quickly find regarding it.
Now Im not trying to be a **** about this but I dont get how the issue is unheard of when its one of the biggest topics in this section. And so we're clear, this is happening in ALL kernels. Unfortunately its been more profound in Zedos because it seems more people went with his method.
All Im asking is before more and more kernels are released that someone at least acknowledge the problem and see if it can be addressed before more and more people root and start complaining because they were told there was no LO.S. bug

Everything seemed to be fine last night but today I've had 4 separate times now where my phone has lost signal all together and needed to be rebooted to get phone/data back.

Got the no signal issue here too. I put it in airplane mode overnight and upon waking this morning the no signal circle was there. I had to do a reboot to get 3g and cell signal back.
Looking forward to seeing this process develop.

Yeah this just happened to me too, everything was fine this morning then I played a game of solitaire and after going back to my home screen I saw the circle. Rebooted phone and everything came back on. It's possible that the circle was there before I played the game of solitaire but I didn't notice until right after I quit playing.
Hopefully it gets straightened out soon. At least rebooting fixes the problem, I can handle rebooting for a little while if needed.

I can't really deal with the issue of having no service. My daughter has a heart issue and can't afford to miss a call. It's not like I walk around all day literally looking at my phone's screen seeing if I have service or not.
I did reboot...so like your's my service is back up.
But I definitely hope this gets fixed soon. I'd rather have root with broken heptic feedback than the inability to receive calls.
But I'm sure the Op the get it fixed...

I've had a dead call issue and also tday my radios were just dead and there was a circle in the middle of the notification barr. A reboot fixed the issues each time, but I think it might be a problem. I thing newer kernels will also fix said issues. Still very satisfied

I'm giving this one a try because with the zedomax kernel I kept losing 3G and CDMA calling and not even noticing it unless someone told me they'd been trying to reach me for hours. A quick reboot would solve the issue but then it would happen again.
I'll report back and let you guys know if this one is giving me the same issue.

Telling you right now someone is going to come in here and go "this belongs in General" then a mod will move your thread and deduct 5 points from something, not sure...but just a heads up
I also see a lot of people having issues, but I'm now on day 2 of flashing Zedo V1 and have yet to experience any of these issues. Not sure what I did different, but everything just works... The only thing I did was after rooting was getting my MSL from Sprint and erased the proxy servers in the ##3282 menu.
EDIT: Ok, I just lost service 1 1/2 day after rooting... Bug finally hit me..
I dont mind it being moved and I have no clue what the deduction in "points" does but I'll deal with it.
Now Im getting much better battery but I know people are still losing service on the new OC kernel. My roommate happens to be on e the unlucky ones.
Man...thanks for posting this. Hopefully the mod doesn't close this thread. This definitely is a concern and a serious matter. I don't care if these kernels are, "use at your own risk" these kernels should've been listed as betas, and/or the bugs should've been listed and further testing should have been. If those steps were taken, I bet a lot of people would've held back from flashing them. I know I would have.

One thing that got to me was this morning I woke up, hoping to see a stock kernel and/or a way to return to stock. And instead, I see a new overclockable kernel. To me that's just not right. I think that you have to prioritize. That's like putting out a rom that has all data broke. Then instead of fixing it, you put out another rom...while disregarding the issues with the first rom. At least acknowledge the issue and let everyone know it's been worked on....don't just blow it off.
I know some of the devs over in the Evo forums was good about this....if something went haywire with one of their roms or mods...they were all on top of it to get the issue fixed and they also communicated with posting updates on the matter.
Like I said, hopefully the mods don't close this.
I'm definately gonna follow this thread...thanks Wingzfan
i rooted yesterday using zedomax method, did the OC kernel last night.. havent had any issues so far ..

Bubby does have the stock kernel pulled. I was testing it till 1:30 in the morning but he's gotta recompile it. It was bootlooping so today thats his first order of business.
As for the kernels, I flashed it by choice. I dont blame the devs for ANYTHING, Im just saying acknowledge theres a bug and lets see how to resolve it.
I've been reading through the rooted kernel threads as well prior to jumping on the root wagon and have seen several people mention that they are not rooted and have experienced the loss of service so it seems that the issue may not be exclusive to the rooted kernels...possibly a Samsung bug?
Very possible which is why im hoping we can get an idea of how man people are rooted vs non rooted having it. Now the only thing is I cant find any complaints online about nonrooted phones doing it except a few here and youd think it'd be widely discussed

Yeah...I read those too. However, I never lost any service at home with any android phone I've owned..Nexus S 4g, all Evo's, Epics etc. Then today I wake up and I have no service....maybe it is a samsung bug, but I'd rather return to stock myself to see if the issue was still there.
Stocks on its way i promise. Probly tonight actually. Bubby was really close last night. Once we get that Id be curious to see what happens.

This is an issue that started with mine also yesterday. But not only did I lose data but gps also. A reboot fixed it but I would like to know whats going on. I just came from the evo 3d and there was an issue that had to do with the prl so I am going to give that a shot with the 11115 prl that fixed the evo. Will post back with the results later today.
On V5, Ive only had the loss of data once in about 12 hours, versus about 3 times on Zedo V1.
I also did http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17703908&postcount=11 for the hell of it to see if that helped (even though I got it at a sprint store)
For the record:
A) People have reported this issue even on the stock kernel. It is not clear where the cause is.
B) For kicks (and because it cannot hurt) I did the whole profile/PRL update thing that someone suggested. Be it luck or real benefit, I have no had the issue since.

I would think it would be widely discussed as well so that seems odd. I'm waiting to see what evolves or at least for stock kernel (an undo) before flashing a rooted one. I don't have TEP.
It's still a bit early for the issue to be too widely discussed.

Nice. I was told by a helpful Sprint cust. serv. rep. a while back that you should update your PRL & Profile when you go into a new area (tavel, move, or even long commute to work) regardless of which phone you have. I would think unboxing your phone would qualify as well. It sure couldn't hurt.

Good point. Many people would not likely research on the web/forums, instead they'd likely address the issue directly with Sprint.

Ever owned a Samsung phone before?
This is my 3rd one and I swore after the last one Id never buy a Samsung phone again but I got sucked back in. Samsung is notorious for shipping phones with all kinds of bugs that should be considered showstoppers then pushing out fixes months later.
It would not surprise me at all if that was the case here. I am one of the ones having this issue and I am not rooted. Ive lost data several times after hanging up a call. The data never restores and I have to toggle 3G to get it come back.
I dont think this is a kernel issue. I think its something to do with the rest of the OS, either that or the kernel is a different problem thats just acting the same way.
Ok thats what i was hoping to find is nonrooted and rooted people who are having the issue. Now on my moment this issue was huge so i went to htc and maybe thats the case again. Maybe sammy dropped the ball again. Question is what can be done about it.

Hey, guys. I was trying to update my ROM yesterday (at around 2-3 PDT) and the main XDA landing site was working, but the forums were down! Any admins (or anyone really) know what happened to the forums? I'm not whining or complaining; I got my ROM update via other means, but I'm just really curious.

Hey everyone, I'm honestly getting confused looking at all the roms and I'm not entirely sure I'm looking at the right thing - Essentially, since the ICS ****up I want to go back to gingerbread when my phone worked. I get 6 hours battery life, on standby, never touching my phone, all radios off. ZERO reception no matter where I go. *****ing aside, I've rooted my GS years ago and havent needed to root the gs2 so I'm a little rusty, Just a simple link to the shipped/stock rom would be appreciated, as I said before I get too confused with all the titles.
Thank yoyu
If it lasts only that few hours then there is definitely something wrong. Try factory reset/wipe. For rooting ICS use method 1 from guide in my signature. For GB ROM check sammobile.com

I have no idea why you keep ignoring me.
I said in your other two threads (here and here) - YOU'RE IN THE WRONG FORUM.
This is the forum for the GT-I9100 model of the Galaxy SII. This phone doesn't even work on Sprint's network.
You have the Sprint variant of the Galaxy SII. It is also called the Epic 4G Touch. That device's forum is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281.
I can't make this any more clear. This should not be confusing.
You're confusing yourself; getting confused looking at all the ROMs in the wrong device forum. Stop that. Go to the correct forum for your device.
Also, STOP POSTING the same issue over and over. As I noted above, this is the third thread you've started to complain about ICS on your device. (which still isn't an I9100)
LMAO
the SGS2 fori have become pickled with and by the totally bewildered...
Well, sorry. I've been doing way too much in the past week and the phone not working has made things a little difficult. Didn't mean to ignore, I think I had a post typed out and closed the tab on accident. Will do as you advised shortly.
Thank you

I'd be lying by saying no.
Went on vacation last month for a week. Phone was roaming and working fine. Didn't knowingly use data except on resorts wifi.
When we came back, I had issues with the web and data right away. Seeing the 4G symbol with no color and no bars or being on edge. Never saw the LTE symbol at all, which was working well when I left. All this with obvious loading issues like hanging pageloads and "no web" notices.
Tmo tried three times to reset my account. First guy said my "numbers were weird".
Continuing to have problems, phone is pretty much un-useable at this point.
Tmo, as usual, rocks. Went to store on Sat. said I'd had enough and the replacement should arrive today!
Just curious if anyone else has had any problems after traveling with their S4?
Update- Got an unboxed replacement. Looks new.
But the data issues continue on this one. I'll have to call Tmo again and try another reset.....bummer.
Thanks Kenny. It wasn't strictly a question. More of a heads up.I wasn't expecting an answer that would help as much as curious if anyone had experienced this. Thought of putting it Q&A section but didn't because of this.
Sorry.

No problem....I just anticipate a lot of helpful people offering advice on how to fix it.
When I first got the phone I enrolled and it took me a couple seconds to get the update. But they pushed out the screen fix update so I went back to 8.0. now I'd like to go back to 8.1 and I enrolled on the website and still don't have my update it's been probably 48 Hours. Any tips?
