So ive been running gingeritis for 4 days with no issue, then suddenly early this morning I only had access to sites I go to frequently, google search brings no page found, no weather updates, no voice search, one out of ten apps download, two out of eleven pulse feeds update, and I show full 4g with data transfer arrows both ways. A friend 50 miles away is having the same issue. Is anyone else getting this?
Same here. Reynoldsburg Ohio. Started happening around 1am. Things are pucking up though it seems
4Geezy ON DopeDiculous's ROOTED TBeezy!
Is it just us with gingerbread radios or are froyo radios getting it too?
Same problem here. I'm on Bamf GB and this morning I've lost all Network Connection. When I reboot I have 3G for less than 10 mins then it's gone and doesn't come back. I tried flashing back to bamf 1.7 with froyo radio and still having this problem. Finally I flashed all the way back to my stock root backup and it works. I also have friends running GB Roms now getting this problem...
same here on GB rom.. in LA
Alright guys I hope this helps but I finally got network connection back. I flashed the new GB Radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115714
Then I flashed Bamf GB Rom again and turned on LTE/CDMA network settings (I don't have 4G where I live). I rebooted about 3-4 times and finally my connection stayed on. After about an hour I turned it back to just CDMA and it stayed.
Hopefully this helps, it worked for me. Just wanted to share.
Went to the Verizon store and all of the 4g phones were doing the same thing. Must be a Verizon issue. Lol. Go figure

Lol yeah after I spent all freaking day screwing with my phone. FML
there are some people on the other threads in the deleloper forums having the same problem, but since I haven't posted 10 * times i can't post and tell them that verizon is having issues
I am just going to post four more times so I can post over there and tell them
also it looks like more and more cities are getting affected as the day goes on
hopefully they straighten out the 4 g issues soon
and it looks like it's happening 2 more and more people
solved. Lte is having compatibility issues with ipv6. Lol Verizon isn't compatible with the internet. Haha
so for over 5 years now iv been working in schools. iv been with sprint for 6+ years and iv always had a problem that when ever im at work within the thick walls of a school i get 0 to roaming service. iv delt it with for years now its what ever. i got the OG evo the day it came out and the signal was a little better.
I got my LTevo yesterday and i was thinking that maybe id get a little better service with the new phone. but to my disappointment i still have this problem...
is there anything i can do to kinda boost my signal for my phone? this is the ONLY issue i have with sprint and its always bugged me.

Before re-upping for 2 more years, by now you should have known your coverage area sucks. Why would a new phone make your coverage area any better?
yeah i knowww but idk iv loved all the evos and sprint phones so i stuck with em =/
If the school will allow it you can get a box from sprint that basically is a mini tower that plugs into the internet. If you complain enough they sometimes give it for free. Be sure to pick an area (e.g. Home or something) that they claim DOES have coverage on their maps that your having a problem with. Otherwise they may do nothing.
When I see dead spots like that it's often all phones suffer from the same thing (both GSM and CDMA). Sometimes one might be slightly better than another and it can make the difference of it working or being useful.
I would not blame sprint if you get good signal outside the school. Some buildings can be tough on any service.
It looks like I am going to be swapping out my one x+
Any one else have these isses?
-GPS jumps around and doesn't lock on at all sometimes. My phone tells me I am in vegas, when I am in los angeles
-Wifi needs to be restarted 1-2 times a day. I am connected to my router, but cannot access the internet

Nah, sounds like you have a lemon. I've been on GPS non-stop since I got here to San Diego, and it works perfectly every time. The wifi is also rock solid in my hotel.
Have you tried a factory reset to see if changes anything?

yeah I did a reset.
I did some research and it seems the GPS issue could be related to my router and google thinking the MAC is in a different location. When the phone is off wifi, the GPS seems to work fine.
I am not sure what is up with the wifi though.
I've had mine since Friday with none of those issues..good luck..just take it back and swap it for a new one .

No issues at all. Been flawless....
I have noticed everything is improved over the One X. Voice quality, speed, etc. I can tell project butter is in play as I have a Galaxy Nexus (gsm) and notice similarities.
Wifi can be a router setting issue. The local thing I did notice with some older HTC devices. Make sure you have all the GPS setting turned on and restart the phone outside. If it keeps doing this I would simply exchange.
Problem here too
My husband and I got two HTC One X+'s last Saturday. - Same problem. With certain location settings, we are sent to Chantilly, VA (to an AT&T store location, I believe). We live 450 miles away in NC.
One scenario: If we uncheck the 3rd Location option in settings (google search..) and keep the first two checked. If we leave the phone sitting for a little while, google maps will come up at our location, then it swings up to Chantilly, VA and stays there for 3-5 seconds, and then swings back down to us in NC.
If we also check the 3rd Location option in settings, it will stay in Virginia.
On Tuesday, I called HTC Support 4 times, trying to figure this out. I've done a factory reset.
Since it looks like it's going to an AT&T center, we've wondered if the phones were sitting there for a while, generating entries in the Google database? Any possibility that the phone also has some sort of internal database?
I'll probably call HTC again tomorrow and I'm at the point where I can have this escalated to a developer. Depending on the answers, I may go to the AT&T store, -- have them open another phone (if they have some in stock) and see how Maps behaves out of the box.

UPDATE: We made a trip yesterday, 1.5 hours away. The GPS and cell location services worked fine! It was not until we got within range of our cell phone tower, just up the street from us, or within range of our wireless, that the phone thought it was back in Chantilly, VA. Turning GPS on fixed this.
I don't think there's anything wrong with our router or cell tower -- my old Galaxy phone has no trouble at all with location. Ditto for my Nexus 7 tablet.
We've left GPS on, and it's looking like the phone is slowly learning that our router and cell phone tower are not located at the AT&T store in Chantilly. It definitely looks like traveling around with the phone helped to give it more info about where we are.
It seems like maybe the original image put on the phone inadvertently had location info? Or there's some sort of internal database with location info that doesn't get wiped when you do a factory reset? HTC is going to be running into some problems with this -- I can't believe that we have the only phones with this problem to overcome.
Does anyone know more about how location services are handled?

Location is once again stuck in VA. Spoke to HTC earlier today, terrible support person, trying again.
Called HTC support again last night. The person said that this was a known issue and a fix will be getting sent out at some point. - Though there is a possibility that she was just trying to get rid of me. Whatever I asked, she just said yes.
I'd love to hear from other folks who feel that the HOX+ is working flawlessly for them. No problems at all? Thanks!

Whenever I am on LTE, the GPS works flawlessly. I determined I only have problems on wifi networks.
most android GPS has some dependencies on the interwebs. Time to acquire fix depends quite a bit on having the right time (meaning NTP). So if you just walked into a starbucks and picked up wifi but havent completed negotiating yet, GPS may be making an NTP query that will stall. That sort of thing. There are quite a few silly little situations that can make for long fix times.
For what it's worth, the HOX+ has pretty fantastic GPS on the whole. I threw on GPS for giggles, and got a fix in 4 seconds as measured by the app ("GPS Status on the market has a "time to fix" option). Initial error was 10m and quickly went down to 5m or so. I'm on the bottom story of a 2 story house with an attic, and not near a window. Compared to my old HTC Inspire (American Desire HD), it's fairly insane. This is through 100 year old wood and nails with zero line of sight to the sky, and a neighbor living above me. So if your GPS is skipping around in standard car/travel GPS situations, there may be another issue.
Here's the brief version. Got my one x+ about 6wks ago. Yesterday, the screen decided it wasn't liking me and after trying everything and then some, it was honestly fried. You could push the power button, nothing. Toast. No idea why. Went into DSC. Which this is where it gets screwy and I'm wondering if this is what's causing the issue. I got a swap, after a short 90mn wait. I went to sign into my google account OTA, and it wouldn't let me. Had to be wifi. Did it over wifi since it was past closing and I had yet another hour drive home. As I went to leave, I noticed my data wasn't working, nor was my bluetooth. Ran next to the retail store next door and told the guy what was wrong. He went into my APN settings, and NONE of what you'd nomrally see in the field boxes, wasnt in there, had to do a master reset on a brand new never used phone and that seemed to help.....so I thought.. It's in there now, thanks to this site and the store tech. Anyway, today, 98% of the time, have 4G LTE in my home, it doesn't matter where in my house, it's always covered with 4G... Not today. It's been on EDGE almost all day long, and when I try to go into the settings and such, some of the options I've seen on other posts on here, aren't even in mine. ATT had me do a software update just this evening, and it hasn't switched back to 4G since. I'm currrently running 4.1 and pending where my phone is sitting, (which has NEVER been an issue before) I'll see it quickly switch to 4G, and then back to edge. Never more than 10 seconds. Is there a way to force it back to 4G? I have wifi but omg, it's still so slow! And delays my texts a tad too. SO ANNOYING!
Hello,
My problem is that when I am using GPS navigation on my phone, whether on Waze app, or google maps.
For example real time could be 1:00pm, and while driving the gps screen would turn to night mode and the time on my phone would be some time at night.
I took some screen shots today, I uploaded them to my google drive because I dont know how to shrink them to post them here.
first one is using Waze app
, real true time on phone is 8:50AM, if you look at the arrival time on the bottom it says 4:09PM in 20 minutes.
Second one is using google maps, true time is 2:24pm, but the screen is on night mode.
These screen shots were taken before the time on the phone also changed to some time at night.
I hope my links work.
Could this be because of an issue with the GPS?
Anyone else experienced this?
I have seen numerous examples of the time being wrong in my g3. In each case, it is set to network-sourced time zone and time. The time zone will display correctly, but the time will be in the future by several hours.
When this happens, I normally disable network time, set the time manually.
Both mine and my wife's g3 have been doing this daily for the last week in the greater-Seattle area. Toggling airplane mode fixes it temporarily. Very annoying but will have to turn off the network time I guess.

I'm in Seattle, too. Maybe it's a local problem?
Seattle user here too. I live in Lake Stevens and its usually fine until I pass lake Washington. Once in Seattle proper I'm pretty much screwed with bad time till I clear the area and bounce the radio. Very frustrating as it jacks up my SMS message order.
Sounds like we should give em a ring to see what's up. The next question is whether its happening to all devices.

This might help you guys, I'm in LA and both my friend's and my G3 works fine when using GPS. Nothing weird to report, seems like a problem with the Seattle towers. Keep us updated.
Yeah it happened twice to me, the first time I noticed I was going downtown from the north, and I noticed that it happened when I passed around the UW area. The second time I used GPS this time I was going north from the south and it got messed up when I was driving by Boeing field.
That was last week, today I tried it again and it was all good, but this time I am running the jasmine ROM, this is weird.
Time on this phone messed up. As I switch time zones it freaks out and I have to bounce the radios.
Seattle here as well: This has been driving me insane and even caused my alarm to not go off. LG said I needed to ship it back to them because it may be a hardware issue, leaving me phone-less for 2 weeks.
Not only does it screw up my time, but whenever I set time to manual, it does not save that setting and eventually switching back to network time.
Does anyone have a solution?!
Seattle!
Commuting from Burien to Downtown Seattle here. My husband and I have been experiencing time zone change daily for weeks since we got the phones. Mine jumps ahead exactly 7 hours when I go to work, resets itself eventually or I reset it manually, then 7 hours again when I come home. I can't rely on my phone as a clock/alarm/scheduler anymore which is one of the main things most people use their phones for! My SMS texts are also getting mixed up because the time stamp changes and the messages show up out of order. The really annoying thing is that even when I reset it manually and uncheck the automatic detection settings it just undoes my choices and rechecks the boxes. This is not something that is just a minor annoyance, this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. This is the first thread I've found with anyone describing exactly my problem and it makes a strong case for it being Seattle specific. How can we move forward with this information?
I'm having the same problem in Indianapolis. My gf has had the problem for a month or so, but mine was fine. I updated to the new firmware, and I suddenly started having the same problem. Mine is rooted, hers is not. It does seem to be tower specific because as I drove around town this morning, my time changed 4 times.
With any luck, I may have gotten VZW's attention via twitter. If others could tweet to @VZWSupport it might help confirm the problem.
