Anyone experiencing heavy drop calls?

currently on latest Fresh Froyo, everythings fine till I tried to make calls.
full bars of signal, makes calls fine, all of sudden it just disconnects, im in northern california, if anyone else having that issue here, reply here.

Perhaps you have not tried this yet, but try updating your PRL then (excuse me im on cm6 and tell you the exact name of this) the other option that is in the same menu for the prl has to with something preparing the device for the network.

My calls sound like **** to the other people and break up. Usually both of us have good service and I'm the one with 2.2, the other callers have 2.1.

In N. California too, SJ specifically and no problems even with Google Voice.

system updates> update prl then profile, reboot.

I agree. My bad service started today or later yesterday (tuesday). I've also noticed that my phone will roam a lot easier just around time and sometimes when it's in my pocket and I pull it out.

Can anyone explain the erratic signal?

My phone acts very weird and I don't know if it's normal or not. My phone's signal jumps between full bars and then 1 or no bars when I surf the web or send a picture message. It's downright annoying. Sure, it usually sends and receives data, but the fluctuating signal is getting to be beyond annoying. Anyone else having this problem? I'm on the current version of the Frozen Syndicate ROM.

Welcome to Sprint.
We all would like a valid reason besides spring saying "were currently fixing our antenna's."

What he said. This is very common on the Epic. Happens to me a lot =\
Running SRF 1.1.0 as well.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought it had to do with the modem builds with the epic. I don't think it is a Sprint universal issue, because I did not have this issue on any of my previous sprint devices (that I remember).

Correct, it's the modem. That's why you see people on the forum complaining about the EC05 modem sometimes because it has signal bar issues, or stuff like that.

My phone does the same thing, even if it's sitting and NOT moving. Even my data speeds fluctuate sooooo much, it sucks. Sometimes Youtube will work great, other times they won't even start to load.

Hmmm...
It probably is the tower. Could be the modem to blame as well. Here in my house, I connect to my Airrave. 98% of the time, I have full bars with a stable connection with relatively consistent fast 3G speeds. The 2%, I get some wonky lag and usually then go and reset the Airrave. Everything works fine after I reset it.
I was just out of town in Vegas over the weekend and I had MAJOR problems sending MMS's, highly erratic data speeds, fluctuating signal, and overall connection problems. That was even when I wasn't holding the phone. Voice data and sending SMS's were very reliable, but forget sending MMS's or having good 4G speeds. I'm starting to think 4G is a drain both battery and money wise. Using 4G is like driving a classic car: It doesn't always start up, they're hard to find, they're finicky; but when it works properly, it's badass!
Random question: Is there an app that has a status bar for sending SMS and MMS's like the iPhone? For example, on the iPhone when you send an SMS or MMS, there's a status bar that shows the status of that message. If it's going out or lagging, etc. Is there an app that does that? I think that's a cool feature. Handcent just has a circular pinwheel, but stops when it goes out.

I would think it has to do with the modem as well. I have an EB13 based ROM, but an EC05 modem. I've noticed similar things, just not very frequently. It's strange...I'll have "great" signal, then for no reason, it'll dorp to 1x coverage and that SUCKS.
I'm thinking of going back to the EB13 modem as most people seem to think it's quite a bit better than the EC05 modem. I do think even that varies from phone to phone though, so I think it's mostly trial and error until you find what works best for you.

I have a fantastic update. Well it is for me, and might be for all f you also. Last night I decided to odin the EC05 modem again. And guess what? My signals beeen great!! Its always constant! No 4bars then zero in same spot no more!!
I already had the EC05 modem before I decided to do this. I recommmend odin'in you modem again!!
BIG NOTE*** I used the phone location for the modem.tar NOT pda.

I am having issues as well, i haven't been able to send any MMS for the past 24 hours. Regular texts go through just fine.

I'm having big problems with this recently in a location where I usually get very strong signal with 4G. Can anyone point me to step by step instructions of how to safely and correctly flash just the modem file?

Text message problem

I stopped receiving text messages. I have to make a call and connect... When the call connects my text messages drop. I was running the EL29 modem with Miui. I reflashed modems to EL13 and Caulks rom... Still the same problem. If I use roam control and roam the messages come in fine.
I have been on Miui for weeks and have not tinkered with the phone... This has literally come up out of the blue.
Any ideas?

Not the exact same problem but I'm in Kansas and my wifes is receiving/sending slowly. Plus I'm receiving the same message twice at times (thought we were finally over that issue).

Having problems in Austin, TX

Do you have an airave?

I am having problems sending and receiving texts as well.
Running Team Rogue's 1.4.1 Kernel and Calk's 2.8.1 ROM. I thought it was a google voice thing but it seems as if other people are having this issue.
I am on chat with Sprint right now. Will keep you guys posted as to what they tell me.
**EDIT**
The sprint tech re-provisioned my text services (whatever that means) - he says to try again in 20-30 mins to see if it fixes the problem. Will post a followup.

Yes.... But it is happening outside of my airave coverage.

UPDATE:
Re-provisioning did nothing. Texts are still randomly being lost

Was having this issue the last couple days while running calk 2.8.1 w/ EK02 modem. Upped to EL29, left phone off for a while and finally updated profile, haven't had any issues the last 24 hours. No idea if any of that helped or just coincidence heh.

[Q] Evo 4G on Boost Mobile Stale Data Connection (Error 104)

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.

Phone keeps losing signal

I am on GleanGB 1.1.2 with the EL30 modem.
Yesterday I was out and noticed I kept getting dropped calls. I did not think much about it. Today I am at home where I generally get 6 bars and have no trouble. I am in an excellent sprint area. Today the calls either drop after a few minutes, or I get an error message "Signal Lost".
I have not added any new programs on the phone. I have tried turning the phone off and on, and also bulled the battery.

I do not know if this matters, but Text messages have been fine, I can send them and receive them.

Probably is network maintenance on your area. If it don't clear up in a few days try odining to stock EL30 and see if that makes a difference.

I've had horrible data speeds etc since i switched to the EL30 modem, so I went to FB15 last night and so far, better over all for me. Who knows if any other modem will work better for you, but EL30 just wasn't cutting it for me.

Can I switch to other modems on CleanGB?

That happened to me .. I called sprint and the said they were doing maintenance .. they lady said it would be fixed in a few hours but it actually took a few days!

You can change to any modem you want and it won't impact your rom at all.
