So obviously I am not on T-mo, but a buddy of mine is. What we are trying to find out is if when you are using ur data and voice simultaneously, and you loose data in the middle of a call, why do you have to hang up to get data back? I noticed this same thing with I phone users on GSM networks too. As you can tell I'm on Sprint and had no answers for him. All I could say is that I don't have to hang up to get my data back. Thanks for the help in advance it really is frustrating the mess out of him.

Try different modems. Aside from that the best first step I know of is call support and troubleshoot with them. If it doesn't help, let us know what was done and maybe we can figure something out.
If data works fine while not on a call, it's most likely either a problem with the phone, or on their end.

@ the moment can't try different modems because he is not rooted ( I'm trying to convince him though). I know I didn't make this part clear...we drive for a living so he may be going through an area that doesn't have 4g or whatever looses it and then instead of it just coming back while he's on a call he has to hang up. I will let him know to call support definitely if this is not normal.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
No idea if that's normal, but if it's happening while on the move I could see that making more sense. If on a call and you drive out of 4g coverage, it may or may not pick it back up when you reenter covered areas while still on the phone. You'd have to wait till it hands over to a 4g capable tower.
It's hard to say though, I think you'd get much more reliable info if you can get this answered by a tech who actually works on these things. When you call support you may have to have a ticket escalated to another level to do so though.
Anything I could come up with would just be theory and there'd be very little, if anything we could do from this side of the network to solve it.

I've been stuck on 1x and no svc bars all day, and on and off yesterday. Keep getting the data roaming message.
Called sprint and they ran me through a bunch of trouble shooting, as usual, but could not resolve it. She said that my internet wasn't updating or something. Opened a service ticket and told me to take it in to the store so they can check the device.
Anyone have this problem before, and how did you fix it?
I'm currently running srf 1.2, genocide 2.0, honycomb fusion explosion theme, ec05 modem, and I have an airrave.
My wife's epic is also stuck on 1x, and the blackberry on our extra line also says 1x with 1-3 bars.

My issue isn't that similar, but recently was the first time I've even seen "1x" on my phone. I literally have never seen my phone on 1x before, in fact, I thought it wasn't even possible on Sprint (Like, I didn't know it had the same name).
If all your phones are stuck on 1x, then it is most likely something with the service. You already did everything I could think of, so I'd just take it to Sprint again and tell them that it's been happening for a while and you've already been to a store, but it's becoming a real issue and you shouldn't have to be charged for a service that does not provide what they have offered, or something threatening like that.
Hope you can fix the issue soon,

I feel better knowing someone else also is experiencing this. Since like Thursday I haven't had a reliable 3g connection whatsoever I keep getting the "1x" icon also.

Same...wonder if it's something up with Sprint.
I literally haven't seen that phone have the 1x icon in the 13 months I've had it.
I've had trouble, but with updating my PRL and Profile. Once I read this, I've kinda conviced myself that somethings up on Sprints end, and not ours. Could this be part of Sprints Network Vision in action?

It could be the airrave. I had trouble getting a 3g connection the first time we set ours up.
________________________________
Roll Tide Roll!
Same here with 3 epics for 2 days, called Sprint and had them push a refresh on all 3, then I updated prl and profile on all 3, been working for about 10 hours now on all 3.
Wow! I knew I would get some response to this, but not that everyone is having the same problem...lol! Well, that sucks. I wondered about the airrave, but I mentioned a few times to the phone rep that I had one, and she never said anything about it. She did say they were no problemswith the service in my area. I'll have to see what happens when I leave for work tomorrow. Does make me wonder if sprint has something brewing that is messing up everyone's service.

Back on 3g today. Not sure what the problem was this weekend. I had no data when I got up, but rebooted the phone and so far so good. Full bars again, at home. I did switch roms last night. Installed miui with the data fix just to see if it made a difference. Didn't make a difference last night, but its working fine so far today.
Going to reset the airrave after work anyway, just in case. Are you guys back to normal today as well?

My issue is whenever I hook up to wifi my mobile network drops not allowing me to make phone calls. This ask started once I rooted my phone. I'm running the stock rom as well. The only solution is for me to reboot my phone. Is there anyone else having this issue, and is there a solution?

Just doin to the stock Rom. It fixed los for me. And it updates your radio
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
FYI OP, this is all over the place under LOS, or Loss Of Service.
These issues haven't had one guaranteed fix (or any reproducible permanent fix that I have seen.)
Reported LOS occurs in low signal/roaming situations, when wifi is on, or unbeknownst completely... all these depending on the user, and solutions are equally thin and subjective.
Most likely there is no current fix for your issue until an official update occurs. Until then you can probably try to placebo the problem away like most people here.
... and your other issue can be solved here

Loss of Network is what occurs when someone ditches Sprint for a phone that comes out on another carrier that isn't broken (which in this case is a fairly substantial sort of broken for any regular user) from day 1 and counting...
We XDA lurkers/trolls/devs, we are the ones that stick, for better or worse, until that update comes out that makes the phone function... a phone whose modems are working 100% of the time for the major reason we bought it, to use as a phone, with signal and data and the like.
LON is a new problem now so we can start another slew of threads about it.
Okay, I didn't know what los stood for, but I appreciate all the help. Now I know. I'm glad it wasn't something with my phone.

i am on Frosty 4.1.1 and my data speeds are so slow. half the time i cant even get data. I live in Baltimore md. and we just had a bad storm so i am wondering if that could have something to so with it.. I just started my billing cycle so im not being slowed by t-mo. any ideas would be appreciated and thanked.
Very high probability that the storm is causing peoblems. The entire N.E. is going to be suffering from degraded services for a while, as I understand it anyway.
To be sure though give us a little mire info. Do you usually get 4g? Does it say 4g now but just not deliver? You could call tmobile and see what they have to say.
And maybe someone else here may be in your area that can give furgher insight.
How close are you to the areas that got hit really hard?

Yeah, I'm guessing its most likely storm related. Even if you're just sorta close to an area that got hit, I would think it could still cause problems due to bottlenecks on the network, heavier use of the network, and just a host if other problems that could occur.
It wouldn't hurt to call tmobile though, just to be certain. They should be able to confirm the problem and tell you if it is related to the storm damage.

Good point. Even if its not storm related, but is a tower problem, its best to call tmobile as they don't always know there's an issue until its reported.
Say its an easy, quick fix, but they don't know about it, it could take days longer than necessary while you have worthless data speeds!

I'm going on four(4) samsung galaxy s3 on sprint all with the same issue I have 4 Open tickets that all came back saying the network is fine and I also have had my MSID number changed through sprint.
My problem is when people call me they do not hear any audio and I have to hang up and call them back. I have had this issue for 3 months I must have spent 30 hours on the phone with Sprint and maybe 12 hours in the store I do not know what else to do except leave and go to Verizon since nobody can help me at Sprint I've gone through many engineers in Kansas City and no 1 has been able to help me.
Is there anything else I can try that somebody knows is anybody else had the same issue help I don't want to leave sprint but I will because I need a phone that works.

It may seem extremely simple and obvious but have you done a PRL update? I have seen similar issues where basically the phone doesn't activate properly and that solves it. I would think its been tried with multiple phones but maybe overlooked due to its simplicity.
Yes many times. And profile. And hard resets. But thanks.......

i have a similar issue when someone calls me they cant hear me but i can her myself on my phone and often times i have to call back for the call to work correctly i hope this issue gets fixed soon my bet is after the new update on the phone it started happening so it might have something to do with the new firmware released a couple weeks backs
I doubt its the firmware or update. This would be a widespread issue. I'm on the latest firmware and don't suffer from this issue. If this is your 4th phone, I would say its safe to assume there is a network issue rather than phone if the call works properly when you call the person back. Ask sprint to give u a different phone other than the gs3 and see if the problem persist

Do you have an airave? If you or a neighbor do, your connecting to there's and prl updates are severally corrupt and messed up when trying to through an airave if they don't fail. Try going to a different part of town and do a prl update. And I would actually recommend another provider.. Sprint has become garbage. Worst connection in the country due to what stats say. Not to mention sprint doesn't care about customers much anymore. Been with them like 13 years and then a couple years back they took away all the benefits of senior customers. For example, I have 0 to 1 bars in my house.. With all other providers I get 5...

If IMEI is intact, it's a T-Mobile issue. I was replying to say that I've had this issue before, once. I was going to call them to complain, but it was fixed in under 24 hours.

If the flash doesn't help, wait another day or two and call back if it doesnt improve. Tell them you'd like to have a help ticket escalated because their last attempts did not help. Just try to get them to put you in contact with a tech who has the ability to deal with things on a more specific level. Most likely you only got the first level of support. They don't have many permissions to deal with a lot of issues. A lot if them are told that account resets will fix everything it seems like!
Hopefully though, things will jusy improve as they work on towers and upgrades.
