Whenever it turn on 4g it gets stuck on obtaining ip address, takes about 30 seconds, then goes straight to disconnected. I running on stock fc09. No kind of tweaks or anything of the sort. Any help on how to get past this issue?
Call Sprint. They're probably doing maintenance/upgrades in your area and that can really mess up data connections.

I called and they said there was no maintenance. I don't understand why it isn't getting past obtaining ip because my older brothers phone connects perfectly fine?

Hey guys. I'm running on Baked Snack v9.6 with everything running smoothly except for my 4G. I can turn on 4G and it scans and connects but it will only stay connected for a certain period of time (in most cases, 3-5 minutes). It loses connection and goes back to 3G.
To get 4G back up and running again, I need to re-update my Profile. Does anyone know what's going on? Is there a 4G log somewhere on my phone so I can tell what's actually happening? Why i'm getting dropped from the 4G network?
Also, my hotspot isn't working too well. I get the message code 67... What's up with that?
Thanks!!
I know there are a lot of posts about internet connection problems, but I couldn't find anything exactly like my issue.
If I only have 3g on, my Evo will connect and stay connected for a few minutes, then it will disconnect for about 20 seconds, and reconnect agaoin for another few minutes... and the cycle continues.
If I turn 4g on and 3g off, the same thing happens with the 4g.
If I have 3g and 4g on, the same things happens except sometimes 3g will be the one to connect and sometimes 4g.
Wifi works great.
My Evo is brand new and recently rooted, running Myn's Rom RLS4.
anyone had similar situation or resolutions?
THnkas!
there are only pockets of 4G so far. dont expect there to be 4G around like 3G is. as it is, 3G still isnt dat big/nation wide, but 4G is like rare. its like a needle in a haystack. the needle is 4G surrounded by the Hay/3G
Thanks,
the thing though is that my wife's unrooted Evo always maintains a strong 4g connection.
It wouldn't bother me too much the same thing happens when I use 3g. it reconnects every 5 minutes or so. Maybe rooting it caused damage?
Could flashing a different radio or wimax help?

Don't flash radios... that is all
For anyone with similar problem, I found my answer here and fixed my connectivity issueshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-704845.html.

I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM.
If when you are connected to 4G you can access the internet, only suddenly 4G it drops for no reason and switch to 3G and then reconnects to 4G and goes on and on, below is the solution. if when you are connected to 4G you can not access the internet at all, the below wont fix it for you and it is probably a problem with your rom.
You will need your msl code to fix this, loop up in the forums to to obtain your msl code from Sprint:
hit ##DATA# > Edit mode.
Put in your msl code
Chose WIMAX
Scroll down to Wimax_Idle_Sleep
Change the value from 10 to 300.
Click menu, commit changes and restart the phone.
This fixed it for me and i never drop 4g (when in good coverage) again.
Basically Sprint has some STUPID setting that tells 4g to go into "sleep mode" of no data is passed on the 4g connection after 10 seconds which is essentially disconnecting 4g.
The problem is it goes into sleep mode (disconnecting), but then rescans and look for a 4G signal > reconnects to 4g and if no data will be passed in 10sec it will do the same again in an endless loop.
10sec to put a connection into sleep mode is really low so change it to 300sec.
The odd thing is that this is only happening in certain locations and with certain towers.
I tried to call Sprint and explain about this issue but my attempts fell on death ears.
Go ahead and try the above. if it helps you please someone make this a sticky as you are not the first i see having the issue.

You'll need your msl number to do this. SImply download msl reader from the market.
Can you change any of the other settings that would make it work better?
Scan attempt
Scan retry
Thanks for this info, I gave it a try but I still cannot connect without doing a profile update and or PRL update.

So I recently flashed to gb rom starskyrom.. everything seems to be working fine but lately, 4g connects and doesnt find ip address. Ill have an idle 4g icon ( sleeping zzz...) but when I go to wireless settings>4g settings> and check the sprint 4g network it says ip address 0.0.0.0... but I'm connected? Because it thinks I'm connected, it won't fall back to 3g.. anyone else experiencing this? Does it have todo with signal strength? Maybe my rom?... but it was workin before... my modem? Any thoughts

Just got back from work, the 4g is broken on starsky 4.0, not sure how I thought it was working, but its not.
Not sure what would cause it, I'm also using starsky and have no problems with 4G.
Try the basic fixes
Reboot
clear and re flash
etc
If that don't work, it may be a problem with the network in your area.
Like the day I started trying ei22 roms and utah had its 3g die. I could not figure out what I was doing wrong.
So you have the same symptoms as described above?
hey guys,
I searched couple threads and could not find any answer to my problem.
My t989 shows connected to wifi but does not browse web, or any sorta data transfer. this happens only when i am home. some people said it could be a problem with my dsl modem. my dsl modem is D-Link. Waiting for your solutions. Thank you.
Reset the router?

Tried that couple times. It works for an hour or so then it stops working again.

Does it happen when you leave the wifi zone and then come back?
You leave. Wifi disconnects. You reenter and wifi reconnects, but doesn't send/receive data?
Try telling the phone to forget the access point's information and then reenter it. See if it will start pulling data again.
The reason I am asking is because I have an issue like the one i just outlined. Switching roms doesn't help. It's very odd and happens with EVERY wifi spot. I've been wondering if someone else had the same issue.
Do you have a wireless home phone at home or maybe a neighbor who has one? Because from what I understand it could be the radio frequency of your (or someone's) home phone. I had a netgear 2.4 ghz and the wifi connection would be interrupted once my home's phone (which also operates at 2.4) is being used.
So in other words, check to see if you have anything in your house that might be running the same radio freq as your router.
So every now and then when I get home from school, where I have no voice or data connection, I try to turn on my 4G and it gets stuck at "obtaining IP address". I know the 4G is working because my gf's epic tough 4G works just fine. I tried updating everything but nothing. I have to end up using hers or waiting until the next day and then my phone starts magically working again. Every time this happens I check my phone the morning after and it's working again. Anyone know what's causing this? Is there some way to refresh the connection? I have tried everything I could find online but nothing works. I never have any other issues besides this except the occasional 4G timing out and requiring me to restart it. I haven't made any changes to my phone in about a month either.
