How???Where cna i find ?...but i dont have root,recovery.
It's an ICS thing. The new update messed with our signal. The only way to fix it is to S-Off and go back to Gingerbread.

Sorry for the late reply, you can search for modems I can provide a link if necessary but a Google search should be fine and you will need to root and have cwm installed to do this or use a flash tool or Odin if you have a galaxy,

I use to get full five bars at home using GB, after updated to ICS (SuperSayain rom) I pretty much only getting 3 bars. What I did was in the mobile network setting, changed mode from auto to WCDMA only and so far i've been getting pretty much 5 bar most of the time with occasionally dropped down to 4. hope this works for you too.
I am also having this strange issue. So is reverting to GB the only way or can you just flash the gb radio? Anybody know anymore about this??
Same issue here. At home used to get full 5 bars, now 3 sometimes 4, which is fine as I am usually on WiFi anyway. Problem is I had great signal all throughout my daily commute to work to where there is sections of my drive that I have no signal. Before in that area it would revert to EDGE from 4G and mine is set to auto.
Just believe like everyone else mentioned that it is the ICS radio. Hopefully an update will fix it

No. And to the people talking about modems and odin and.. yea, no. We don't have modems to flash, and odin is just for samsung devices. Until now we couldn't flash a radio if we WANTED to.
You know the iPhone's fix when people were talking about how bad the signal was for the iPhone4? They had been boosting the REPORTED signal strength. So did HTC, so did Samsung, so did.. all of them. You'd drop a call when it showed you had GOOD signal.
Not a single person has posted about having ACTUAL worse issues. The OP said he can make calls and talks about how many bars.
Apple's opinion:
We have discovered the cause of this dramatic drop in bars, and it is both simple and surprising.
Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars.

People here are having the OPPOSITE problem, it LOOKS like you should have an issue, and you don't.. but people keep posting about it even tho there hasn't been any issues.
This is the ONLY person who had actual signal issues(Weird Interference/Reception Call Issues on my Amaze) I have seen since ICS dropped, and it turned out to be a hair on the contact for the antennae. Read his thread, he methodically checked quality and could answer basic questions - and then he fixed the actual problem.
Edit: I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if someone is ACTUALLY having problems, they actually can't make calls, drop calls where they didn't before, etc.. then there is probably a problem that can be fixed. But unless you are having those issues it is likely that the signal strength you're seeing is more accurate(EXACTLY like the apple quote I put above), they are just doing a better job of SHOWING the actual signal. Which is good, no unexpected dropped calls or BS.

Don't know if that's the case because when I so connect its fast. Just as fast as the first day of the month. I do have the 5gb plan and have never hit it. Been close but never hit it. I'm going to call just in case. You do have a good point.
Do a speedtest. If its 60 kb/s and steady, or something similar, that's your issue

Alright. So I have been wandering the forum and can't find a thing about this. When I'm using my 4g I seem to hit a point (100 mb or so) when the 4g just disappears. and WILL NOT come back till I do a battery pull. I have used the 4g on off app thing. I have tried ##778* (although I feel like there might be an answer in this menu still.) all in all it is frustrating when I'm downloading a 500mb rom from here and it cuts out 1/5 of the way through and just won't come back
does anyone else have this issue? and yes I have 2-3 bars of coverage at my house, so it should not be a reception issue at all.
thank you for the help!!
Hmmmm...not sure....4g drops out for me but thats only because im on their edge of coverage....never had it drop cuz of downloading a certain amount...what rom are u using?
Well I'm on ics business sense. I would assume the rom but it has done that from the beginning. I only lose 4G when I'm downloading something. Otherwise I have it all the time at home.

eh, mine is doing just fine how it is.
I just recently got stationed in Ft. Gordon, GA and my signal is worthless. Most everyone here is using AT&T and tethering off of 4G while I'm lucky to have 1 bar of 3G. Seriously I can't even stream a 5 minute YouTube video on my phone.
Supposedly there's some girl in my barracks that has a Sprint iPhone who gets good service.
I'm starting to wonder if it isn't my ROM. I'm using the ICS meanROM.

But the leak was built for a carbon copy of our phones. It won't be much different when released officially. If they release radios with the update, you'll still be connecting to the same network.
Just don't get your hopes up for a big difference.

That has zero effect on signal strength. It might effect data throughput but not signal strength.
I doubt official firmware will boost performance over stock sprint firmware we have now.

Not saying it does but before this I could not get more than one bar at my house where I normally get 3-4 could be something else on Sprint's end but it seemed better after this change.

When I'm sitting at my desk, my phone (Droid X2) will have 4-5 bars with 3g showing. I place a call, 3g goes away(as expected) and I get 1 bar and I lose calls... Why would it fall back to a weaker signal to place a voice call? I understand that data can voice can't happen at the same time on a CDMA signal... But this drastic a difference for calls?
Hi, how do you hold it? After having started to grab it higher and leave the lower part with the antenna out of my palm, it cured it's signal issues.
Best regards,

V you have the x2 confused with an iphone this phone will keep almost the exact same signal if you wrap it completely in both hands. This is a software issue that usually only happened on stock and confuses the hell out of verizon reps. I would recommend a SBF to 2.3.4 and then going with cm7/cm9 for a ROM

Try changing your mobile networks settings. See if a different setting of roaming changes the behavior. You might find you are roaming on data and picking up a nearby out of network 3g tower then when you go to voice it favors a more distant in-network tower. Also download the app OpenSignal and see what that tells you about local towers.
And switch from bars to text for your signal, a real number will tell you things a set of bars really can't

Return it and get another phone while you still can. If you read on here long enough you'll see the many problems that arise from this POS phone. If you are going to stay with it you will probably be forced into a custom ROM just to make it work right. Memory is one of the main culprits that keep this phone from performing well. Every other phone that has come out since then that has 1GB of memory or higher has either had an opportunity to get more updates or better performing custom ROMs.
Has there ever been a fix for the issue where the phone randomly switches back and forth between 3G and wifi? i constantly get "The page can not be displayed" message. My phone does it quite a bit when I am at home. Very annoying!!
I never had that issue. I dont see other threads about that being a problem either. Maybe u have poor wifi signal?

No, it happens but people are starting to give up on the EVO LTE.
Mine does this and I have been trying to figure it out as well.
Note: switching Rom's doesn't help
I dont have any problems with 3g/wifi switching. I use wifi all day at work no issues whatsoever. And people giving up on the lte? I dont see it.
What ROM are you using? I'm running Decks CM10 and never had that issue.

for the most part that wifi issue was fixed in one of the OTA's we got.. i used to have problems with my wifi staying on when i was out of range.. after the OTA we got that had the fix in it,, i havent had any problems with it since...
The Ota for me never fixed the problem. I may try CM10. I have heard that CM10 uses different drivers for Wifi.

I as well have not had problems like that unless my WiFi router is far away.
I did see a post before about the antenna springs in some evo lte's making poor contact and they fixed it. Not sure if that's your problem. I would make sprint give me another one.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------
I am convinced that this problem is not a ROM issue. I get the problem on every ROM I've flashed, MeanROM, Fresh, Sinister and I I'm now currently UREvo. I have the same on every one. I've tried current kernels as well and nothing.
My problem is while leaving the range of a wifi network it will not disconnect and then connect to mobile network. Then the same thing happens in reverse when going from mobile to wifi it will not make the hand off automatically. I have to manually turn all radios off then back on or reboot altogether.
I have decided to unroot, relock and flashRUU and see if I have the same problem. If so, I'm headed back to Sprint for warranty replacement.

They are the metal spring tabs under the shiny black cover on the back of the phone. Not the ones on the cover itself but the ones on the phone under the cover.
Go to a spot where your Wi-Fi signal starts to fade and take note of your location and signal strength. Then remove the back cover and gently bend those metal contacts up away from the phone a very small amount. You may not even be able to see a difference. I used a very small screwdriver. Then replace the cover making sure it is firmly attached. Go back to that location and notice you now have full signal strength there and can go a bit farther before it drops. (it did for me anyways).
DISCLAIMER- As usual, I assume no responsibility if you break your phone. I'm just passing on a technique I learned in a forum that was a positive experience for me.

When I'm at work, on a sense ROM, I usually have 3 or 4 bars of service in 3g. However, on 4.2.2 ROMs, I get 1 to 2 bars and on some I get no signal at all. Why is this and can I do anything to fix it? It seems like anything other than official cyanogen ROMs, I barely get any signal.

How do u know if u get 3-4 bars of 3g on sense? The only way to tell is via DBm. Besides all bars have different dBm limits across sense/tw/aosp. Only way to see if u get less 3g signal is via DBm on sense and aosp

What he said
I have the exact same issue and while, no, I haven't confirmed the ACTUAL signal strength, there is an OBVIOUS difference in performance. Anecdotal evidence, yes, but I'm in the same places day in and day out and the results are easily repeated over and over. I have no idea what the issue is, either.
Viper rom I get -105 while sitting in my living room. Any 4.2.2 rom with the new kernel I get -130 in the exact same spot.
