I just flashed Cyanogen RC2 and I am not able to get 3g. Where the 3g should be there is only a "1x". The data works but is incredibly slow, I asked a friend and he said that I might need to flash the new radio. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks a bunch
What is your current radio?? When you flashed CM it comes with current one..

Are you in an area with a bad signal? At work when I'm not near a window my connection will sometimes drop to that level.
No I have full service and I did a speed test and I got 1 KB/s dload speed

This was happening to me to, on every rom. The other phone on my account was faster to...odd. So I called Sprint and they "refreshed my data services". Flawless now. Now its says 3g instead of 1x. Stoked

is there any risk involved in this? eg. can they tell I'm rooted/running a custom rom? sorry I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff.
Also when I go to wireless settings there is no option for mobile data

Well don't mention it to them make sure you have a rom that has the option to update your prl, and profile. Because they'll want you to do it. Fare warning, they'll want you to update the firmware. I just went with it, but it didn't go through. It said "there is no system update". So it all worked out.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
This has been happening to me, too. I tried different radios, prl, etc.. with no changes. I even went back to a rooted 3.26 rom and let the phone update the firmware and everything it wanted to with no change in signal. The Sprint tech said everything looked fine on his end after having me update profile, prl, check for software and firmware upgrades. I can't remember what he called it but basically he reactivated my phone as a last step.
CM and mobile signal widget show 1x and when I go to ##debug# (on sense) and check EVDO engineering every field shows <failed>
When I get time I am going to go to Best Buy and hope their insurance works well.
That's weird because when I go to another rom like fresh my 3g works fine its just on cyanogen that my phone has this hiccup

No success as of yet. I flashed a sense based rom and with all the same options for networks and set everything to the best of my abilities and still no change. Six bands of signal strength in roam mode. I have 3g showing, great fast web access and still no phone in roaming. I get the same recorded message I stated in OP.
I'm baffled. Should I try a nandroid restore of the phone rooted, but with the stock rom and then flash back to the rom I'm running now?
Help is much appreciated at the moment.

What radio version are you using.
Sent from my X10 using xda app-developers app
Two questions. First, can you RECEIVE calls when roaming, and second, when roaming, do you dial the area code when you try to make a call (I know it sounds like a dumb question, but......)?
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

Can't think of much else. I'd try and flash back to a Sense ROM and update your profile and PRL (since you can't do this from CyanogenMod or any other AOSP ROM). Might be something that can be fixed in QPST (also something you can only access from a Sense ROM, from your phone dialer) but I have never messed with those settings. Hopefully somebody else will chime in. Need to see if you can receive incoming calls while roaming, though. Also appears that you don't have the newest radio, but the one you have isn't all that old so I doubt that's the issue.

Is the radio used for data as well? Because I'm getting great throughput on the internet when I'm roaming. Unfortunately my knowledge isn't extensive enough to know. I'm an infant at this at the present time. I don't know how deeply I wish to go.....I'm just having fun learning new stuff.
I appreciate your thoughts on this tho'. Who knows, maybe I've stumbled upon some strange bug.

Haven't checked the in-coming call as yet, just too much on my plate at the moment.
What I meant by the radio question is this: If I am getting great internet/web performance in a roaming area, it tells me data is getting through. Can I safely assume that the telephone function uses the same data stream to perform calls? The reason I ask is because if they are, then there must be some switch/command/whatever that is in the wrong state and must be flipped back to where it belongs. Of course, I'm sure I'm over simpIifying because I'm not well versed enough in the language and functions. Is that clearer?
Thanks again for your help.:good:

Sounds dumb but verify that your imei came back and is the same as behind the battery.
Check to make sure your APN settings are set up correctly.
There has been instances where no data after restoring imei, there is a thread dedicated to it. Simple search will help you.

Can you give us some info? Is your device stock? Is it rooted? What Android version are you running and are you on a custom rom? If you can, post a picture of your About Phone page so we can see versions and firmwares please
With those questions answered we can take a look and see why you're not receiving your calls. There are a few reasons this could be happening, ranging from data toggles to APN settings. Without knowing what I'm working with, I can only speculate. When noticing these missed calls are you on a particular data network? 4G LTE through AT&T will momentarily disconnect and run on 3g while a call is implemented, then return to LTE 2-3 seconds after the call has ended. Maybe you have an option to prefer LTE and it's not disconnecting the data to allow the call? This may only occur on a custom rom though. Check your APN settings under APN type and make sure things like default,supl,mms are there.
If you're on a stock rom with stock recovery, you may want to consider backing up your data and performing a factory reset. This may not help at all though.
If you know what you're doing, and have root on a custom rom, then chances are you know how to flash a new radio (modem) and may want to research ones available to you and try flashing one of those. (NOTE: Be sure you know what you're doing before flashing anything, and remember to flash a radio (modem) twice for good measure. - MAKE SURE the modem is compatible with your phone model and your rom.
Mine does this every now and then. I assumed it is a network thing, but it may not be.

That is when it happened the first time for me also...and for a few days got 2 different stories. It started up again yesterday, I thought that I would post on here about it. I have come to a pretty safe conclusion that people on here know more about these phones than the people at Sprint. And I am thinking it is a network issue again...it has been ringing like it should this afternoon.
Area code 336? That's in NC, and where I live. Seven of my coworkers have switched from Sprint due to issues with the network. It is a local issue here though, and in Sprint's defense, they are trying hard to fix the issues. (I'm not knocking anyone or any carrier
If we are sure this is a network issue, it may be best to contact Sprint and ask if they have had others complaining about the same problem.

Hey all, I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what's going on with my phone/service. First off I hope this is the correct forum since none of them officially address the US Cellular version of the S3.
So what is happening is that my device seems to only want to connect to 3G. I am running the latest nightly for CM 10.1. It all started last week while I was in the twin cities on data roaming for a few days. On my drive back to Wisconsin I notice I would go in and out of 4G service.. by the time I hit home I was on solid 3G service. This was last Friday. I knew there was some work going on the towers in the area as my brothers 4G service started working on Sprint. I just assumed it was something to do with that.
By Sunday and still on 3G, I called tech and they did everything under the sun to try to get me back on 4G to no avail. They ended up sending me a new phone. When the new phone arrived on Tuesday I did a factory reset on the old phone just to clear everything before sending it to them and I noticed it went back on to 4G. This was on the stock ROM, rooted still.
So I switched the phone over to the new one and sure as hell, comes up in 4G. I replaced the recovery and restored a backup I had.. phone pops up.. 3G. :crying:
I did a factory reset a few times and nothing.. still would only come up in 3G mode. I then restored a backup I had for the stock ROM and what do you know.. 4G. Flashed a fresh download of the stable 4 snapshot.. 3G.. then I did a factory reset and what do you know .. 4G.. reboot the phone.. back on 3G.. Tried AOKP.. 3G..factory reset.. 3G.. Back to CM 10.1 nightly.. 3G.. factory reset.. 4G.. reboot.. 3G.
I cannot figure out what the hell is going on.. it clearly isn't hardware as it's now happened on two phones. I thought it might have had to do with being on data roaming for a few days so I waited until the data billing cycle finished (the 6th) but no luck.
I'm at wits end.. I will try anything at this point to get it working again with CM/AOKP.. doesn't matter.. just want my 4G back!
Your phone does not have 4G, It has HPSA.
On AOSP/AOKP, your connection will show up as 3G until it's being used. Let's see some speedtests.
Don't go by what it says in the ststus bar. What does it say inder Settings > About Device > Mobile Network type?
Now go start a large download, like a rom or something. While its downloading check again and post what you see.

Thanks for the quick responses guys..
First thing was my status bar was showing 4G for about a year.. it was just recently I started having the issue. I used to get about 20Mb/sec down and now I'm getting about 800Kb-1.5Mb. It's clearly much slower than it was.
And the network type is CDMA - EvDo rev A:6
Try going under Settings, More Settings, Mobile Networks, and try a different network mode.

Its selected as LTE/CDMA/EvDo. The only other option is CDMA/EvDO. I think it's set correctly.

Not sure what you mean by network operators but the CDMA subscription is set to RUIM/SIM (which it should be) and the System Select is on Automatic and not Home Only.
Model is SCH-R530U
Under mobile networks you can manually search for and then select an operator.
Judging by your model number, you will likely find more and better help and probably others with your phone in the Verizon forum. (Possibly Sprints, but most likely Verizon)

Everything I've read involves going back to stock, factory reset, and reflashing. Is there any way to resolve this without reverting to stock? Or is that the only way? - Does it need to be unrooted? And also, one thing I was curious about, I have a stock backup, would flashing that, and then reflashing to a current CM backup do anything, or does it need to be a clean flash?
I would go totally back to stock and start over. It wouldn't even take more than an hour to do everything.

Yup, if you're having problems, taking shortcuts often result in more problems and more time involved than just starting over clean.
