3g times out?

I was wondering if anyone else has/had this problem. My evo tends to time out on 3g, especially when I download a rom. The 3g indicator just goes dark and will stay that way for a couple minutes. It wouldn't be a big problem but I don't have hi speed where I live so every Rom I download is through my phone internet. When the 3g times out it causes the Rom download to fail. Has anyone else had this problem and what can you do to fix it? It's irritating having to download a rom 5 plus times

This only happened to me when I was on stock. Now that I'm on a custom ROM, it doesn't happen anymore. I notice you are on a custom rom, so I'm sure that's not the problem.
It may be a coverage problem. It also happens to me when I'm switching from 3g to 1X, so that may be it.

The area I'm in has almost full signal. I've actually experienced this more on custom roms then when i was on stock.

Have you tried flashing the more updated radios, etc?

Just did. Will report back to see if it helps

Any update on this? Just was curious if this did the trick for you.

My 3g does not work on roms outside of stock sense roms. I've read where others says sense roms always show 3g even if you are getting a 1x signal but my wife has an evo 4g, unrooted, as well and my 1x is way slower then her 3g signal. I 1x signal won't load web pages in most cases. I downloaded the most recent OTA and then flashed a rom after words but still no 3g.

Any update on this? Just was curious if this did the trick for you.
After I flashed the new radios etc. I tried to download a rom overnight. When I got up it said download failed, then I remembered to update prl and what not. After i updated things were ok until I tried out my 4G. I was having major issues with it not downloading. It was extremely slow. I was using the shooter ROM when these problems started so I flashed another ROM and haven't had any problems so far. Is it possible for a rom to affect 3g and 4G performance?

This isn't necessarily true. Most custom ROMs show 1x. However the stock does not. Also, 1x should be slower than 3g.

Sorry if I wasn't clear but that was my point. Thats what most people "say" about roms showing 1x and my 1x is slower then my wife 3g so I know its not that we don't have 3g in our area, its the rom. Right now I'm using R2R-green-R3, which has a 4g LTE icon and faster then the 1x rom I was using before. I flashed the honeycomb theme over it looks great and works great!

It shouldn't be the rom causing you to get 1x, have you tried updating prl/profile? I've run multiple custom roms and never had a problem. Areas where I know get 1x show it, but areas that get 3g show 3g and have 3g speeds
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I did up date the prl/profile but still no 3g. I'm at 3g speed now so its not a problem. Maybe I did something wrong on the other rom?

3G/4G Menu

Where is the hidden menu for the 4g preferred setting? Isn't there a hidden setting menu. My phone tried to stay on edge. My little brother has a blaze and is right next to me and his is on 4g and mine is on edge....
I still have IMEI so that isnt the issue. :good:

go to the play market and download phone info

Should it be set to gsm/cdma auto(Prl)?
It was on gsm auto (Prl).
It seems since I flashed a Rom and then did my Nan restore to stock rooted it preferred edge over 4g.
Sent from my SGH-T999

no if you want it to prefer 4g ovr edge then you have to have it set to wcdma preferred. that's tmobile's 4g! and then when it isn't available it will simply go to edge. that's definitely your best bet.

I did that now. It still was sticking on edge. I then switched it to wcdma only and it switched right to 4g. Thing is on edge it had full bars. 4g only two. I wonder if that's why it stayed on edge. Anyone know?

try wcdma preferred. It helps stay on 4g. There may not be 4g where you are. Might want to check on that.

So I did this same thing and it's telling me I'm on 3G.
When I was on completely stock ROM out of the box, I was on "4G" all the time.
Now, every ROM I've flashed to test out which one I like, it displays 3G BUT whenever I click on a link it switches to H+. Then when that link is done loading it switches back to displaying 3G. Am I correct in assuming that it is supposed to do this?
Edit - After reading the NEXT post while I was doing my search, it seems that I was correct. :]

correct you are. while It's accessing data it goes to H+

I have my set to wcdma preferred. Keep in mind this setting might use more battery because it's constantly looking for four g signal rather than two g or three g

If I'm not mistaken, on stock it will always show 4G, even on 3G.
A lot of custom roms change this so it tells the truth. That's why you see 3G or H/H+.

[Q] Anybody have working Wimax around Seattle?

I have flashed numerous ROMs and none have had working Wimax. I am in Everett/ Lynnwood and can't get wimax to even to last long enough to measure. I have tried a number of modems as well. EL 29, FF18, FG20 and even the newest one which was available thru the goodness updater. By the way has anyone figured out how to measure Wimax? I used to have the Evo 4g and got a great signal and the Evo would tell you if you had good or poor signal, however I have not found anything to measure 4g speed on my E4GT and without 4G I can't do the adjustments suggested in another post.

Thanks for the heads up on that, right now I am going through the different modems to see if one of them will work. Is it possible this E4GT is a dud? Although my daughter is still on stock EL29 and she has bad Wimax as well.
I did notice that if I kept toggling the 4g and ran a speed test that I sometimes got better results - so far I am at FC14 and sometimes I get 2+ mb down with a ping under a hundred. My area of Seattle sucks, as I just tried Clearwire and am sending it back as well. Does anyone know of a good app that will measure the wimax, the one one the E4Gt doesn't work very well compared to what HTC has. Well I have been working on this for quite a while so time to crash

If you go to settings than go to 4g it shows you your connection in bars like back on gingerbread. If you want to get a more accurate reading than ##DEBUG# is your best option. It gives you your connection status in dbm. Lock code is 777468 not your msl. You'll find it in Wimax DM.

Would be great but Wimax not coming on, so can't get to first base.

I can get in there with the lock code that you supplied - thanks so very much, however I can't modify anything because the Wimax DM says I need to turn on the Wimax and for some reason it will not turn on. Peace and thanks a lot.

In that same menu screen go to Wimax CT and click open device. After that scroll all the way down and click on both the load default and odb load default. This resets 4g back to default sprint values. Try that and then try turning on 4g and see if it works. Lil hint clicking on Wimax IP in that same screen will automatically start up 4g

Thanks to everyone who had advice for me. Took it to the store and they gave me a new refurb with working 4G, ain't Sprint the greatest, the tech told me that things burn up on the boards all the time, that I probably got the battery to hot or that the 4g part of the board just died for no particular reason (last billing cycle I did 4Gb of Wimax and 3+ Gb of 3g - that is why I stay with Sprint lol, no throttling and no warning call or text)

Oh to have your problem haha. Yes I have 3g on it. Sprint hasn't finished updating the Raleigh area, so I get spotty LTE. In fact, due to their handoff bug, I only get lte for a few seconds before it switches back to 3g (on previous roms)

Which baseband you got? I doubt we have different ones, since the phone I think only has 2 modems out.
Edit: After looking at the post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451426 I don't know how to distinguish v7 and v8. Regardless, I highly doubt that's the issue.
Have you tried changing your Preferred network type? Mine is set to "Global" On occasion, I've seen Data enabled turned off seemingly spontaneously on other devices, sooo check that too

It sounds like the ROM doesn't know how/when to fall back onto 3g to answer phone calls. Did you try 3G or 1x only to test calls?

it switched fine initially. showed 3g in status bar, sent SMS. started a call.
once the preferred network changes, anything but LTE kills the radio. "Emergency Calls Only" is what the status is in the quicktiles. With a blank radio signal indicator.

so i can go into the *#*#4636#*#* menu via the dialer and change the radio mode to EvDO only and get 3g and can make calls and send SMS. If I choose CDMA/LTE it transitions to the LTE network then ****s the bed and won't send SMS or make phone calls. It does send MMS and have fully functioning data on LTE. However, then its just a tablet.
I'm going to wipe and reflash again, as I did mess with a whole bunch of crap now and see if I can get anything figured out.
Any ideas?

Baseband display number is the same from ZV7 to ZV8, hoping LG gives us an actual name for the next one.

Signal dropping constantly

So my mom has this phone, and me and my sister have HTC ones. Our phones work fine at home, and we just got Lte coverage a few days ago, so that's been nice. However, my mom's phone recently has been dropping basically every call no matter where she is or how much service it says she has. The signal bars show a red x, and usually given time the service will come back, but sometimes it takes a restart. I've tried updating profile and prl, and the best the people at the sprint store could do was tell me that there is supposed to be a software update coming to fix it. The phone is completely stock. It doesn't seem like the network cause the other phones work fine. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas on what we could try?

You must have weak LTE signal. Go to Settings>More>Mobile Networks and tick it to CDMA. If she wants LTE she'll have to do this manually.
