After the fail update OTA. I flash using odin and every thing work fine, including ap mobile. However, my phone data signal now seems like it sticks more on E rather than 3G. Before the update, I always got 3G. Now I got E almost all the time. I only go over 5gb last month,6.4gb to be exact. I hope tmobile does not throttle my data plan. Any ideas? Thanks.

I do not think that has anything to with your connection status. Check your settings to make sure, you are using epc.tmobile.com
Yes it is. Still stuck on E most of the time. Once in a while, it switch to 3G, but when I browse or use app that needs data plan, it switch back to E. I never experience this before. Any ideas, please?

I have a rooted vibrant running stock Tom with the j16 update and my 3g works intermittently at best. Is there any fix I can do myself?? Its understandable if I were in a cave but I'm getting full bars and my signal strength is -89 dbm 12 Asus. Please please anyone. I'm almost to the point where I'm about to call T-Mobile and see if they can switch me out a different phone. I hate the idea of paying for the web and nit being able to use it. BTW, if I pull my battery off and restart the data connection will work for about 10 mibs

I'm interested to see the answer/suggestions as well, I've been having the same issue.
It will work then not, a restart or going into flight mode and back will get it working for awhile. It does it over Wi-Fi too..(Sound familiar?)........... It's done it stock, rooted with OCLF, with ji6 and now even with Bionix 1.9
Yeah I mean my wifi works all the time but now even when I do the airplane mode it doesn't bring back my 3g data connection. Its driving me bat **** tho. How about u?

How good it the 3G coverage in your area?
Try a market app called Map Viewer. At home I'm out of 3G coverage.
OK I will try to download it and let you know

Do a factory data reset.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
well I found out from the map that my 3g coverage system work is supposedly non existence. Go figure. So I'm basically getting snippets of it. If I do a factory reset I will lose all my info right? And when you say reset do u mean using Odin and flashing stock 2.1?

Do it from the phone settings, privacy. Yes, u will loose all yr apps, but save them using appsaver from android market first. Your new rom update will still be there. Hope this helps. Thats what I did to correct my 3g issue, just like what you described.

just throwing this idea out there. tmobile could be doing tower work in your area. i experienced this for awhile where data was just iffy and wasnt very reliable. this may happen on and off for a few days.

Just to be perfectly clear, CDMA PRL Auto is the proper mode to switch to.

I get no internet on cdma auto either. Even after a reboot. Ping says network unreachable.
Sadface.
Dallas/Richardson area here, having the same problem. Data only working on 4G, nothing on evdo/1x.
Same here on two Thunderbolts in Los Angeles. I actually haven't seen 3G at all since Friday night. Called Verizon and apparently there is an issue with 3G provisioning. They claim they are working on it and that there will be a fix in the next day. I know others say they fixed it with a hard reset but I don't want to do that if I don't have to, especially if its just going to break again later...

Hey guys I had the same issue in Baltimore, MD area and for me I had to factory reset and the 3g is now working when using cdma auto and its been running for about an hour now
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Weird. Mine never had that problem.
Did a factory reset now (since I hardly customized my phone yet), and it seems to have fixed the 3G problem. Not only that, but now I have the updated market! (Before the reset, I had the old market)
Go to the market and download Restart Connections. If you lose mobile network after switching to the proper setting, run that app.
Edit: This will also get rid of the need to do a factory reset to regain data connection

it worked for me after a while. i turned it on outside my house and it worked, but for some reason my home wouldnt let me switch
Had a similar issue. Figured out that when I switch from LTE to CDMA (PRL) it will switch to 3g, it can take a while, however if I power off the phone it will not connect on reboot to 3g again have to switch back to LTE and go to 4g and then switch back again. Hope this helps
3g just started working and i did nothing (other than going without internet for hours until it started working).
im blaming Verizon and my local network.
Is it possible to just download the update over hspa? I have unlimited data, and won't be anywhere near a wifi point for the next few days
Swyped from my Motorola Atrix 4g using XDA Premium App
The way I've always understood it and applied it was, the update has to be started with a wifi connection but can be finished on the carrier data plan. There is no way to start the download on the carrier data plan.
I ran into this problem too. Seems like there needs to be an app to fake wifi. Iphone had this app, think it was called my 3g.

You have a laptop on u? I guess if u have unlimited data, use it to tether to ur laptop, download ur update n way to go...

Hey guys, my wife's photon has a terrible data speed. I don't know why, were both running the exact same software/prl. I've wiped the phone and reloaded all the updates and her data connection is still slow. Side by side speed tests between her phone and mine show my phone is grabbing 2.2mb, and her phone is struggling to reach 100 Knossos. Any ideas????

That's crazy, subscribed to see how this plays out. Both are connected to the same network, right? (I know, unlikely you're comparing 4G to 3G, just making sure )
I have actually had a similar issue before. And had sprint reset my data and such, and it fixed the problem. But over time it went back to being hit and miss with the good speeds.
As stated, have Sprint look at her data plan. All carriers have the ability to slow you down or speed you up.
Funny, @ a month back I looked at Sprints "Unlimited Data" fine print. To make this short, we do have unlimited data, BUT, if your using your device as a server, sending out mass Spam, or (and yes it states this) if you turn on your webcam and set it on the table for several hours, the will turn down your bandwidth for that billing cycle.
I did the above because a old friend is long time AT&T iPhone user on Unlimited Data. AT&T decided to cap new users at 5Gb but last month decided to slow down old users after 5Gb. Not charge them, but put them on a leash.
Hey guys thanks for the responces. Problem solved!!!! I had to use rsdlite to change the software back to the old mr3 release, and manually update her phone to the latest software and then I had to factory reset like 6 times and finally it her data speeds increased. Now there were they need to be.......oh and I wasn't talking about 4g speeds, I was refering to the 3g data speeds. I have an air rave at home. I usually test the 3g speeds atleast once a week. Its a good way to keep up with q.o.s. on the air rave. Thanks for all the responces everyone.

So the speeds were slow when it was connected to your home airrave? Then I don't think its a problem with sprint or your phone but rather your home internet connection. But if you're not connected to the airrave and outside then that's a diff problem

Very true, however I own a photon, and when I do a speed test while being connected to the air rave, and my numbers are high, I know something isn't right with my wife's phone. I also run a speed test on my internet connection at home to ensure I'm getting every megabyte I pay att for lol.

New Photon owner.
Struggling with using it on Ting. Ting itself seems great. After changing MIN and MDN, I have WiFi, text, voice and 4g. No 3g however.
I've rooted and debloated. If I use the droidx bootstrap recovery it won't boot and I have to start from a complete sbf restore (198.7). If I unlock the boot loader I lose 4g, so I then have no data, but still have WiFi, text and voice.
Anyone successfully using Ting with 3g?
Aloha.

No reason to unlock no ICS video drivers. I've been on sprint now ting. Non 4g speed is dead slow.
Put stock on my Photon Q for testing, saw 3g icon.
I'll fire up the MoPho and check.

Well, I'd like to change ROMs. Without data, I'm stuck with stock, and the deblur script has broken contacts app.
I'd really like to move to the hybrid ROM, but once installed, if I relock the boot loader it hangs. So no data or no function. I'm looking for any way out of the deadlock.
Aloha.

I haven't used Ting but I activated a Photon on PlatinumTel CDMA by doing a ##72786# network reset.
When the phone restarted after the reset Hands Free Activation ran and it set up 3G, voice and SMS automatically. It should work the same on any Sprint MVNO
You need to be on a stock ROM for Hands Free to run. Once activated you can switch to a different ROM but you will lose WiMAX when you unlock.
Yeah. Stock rom just hangs on connecting to network screen. It's already registered on Ting, so it never connects.
Aloha. Thanks for trying to help. I'm thinking I'll restore to stock and sell it.

update prl & profile
I switched to Ting. The data speeds are slow. But I found that disabling Sprint's proxies and doing periodic prl updates and profile updates greatly improve 3g speed. Yes, I get 3g yet it feels like 2g sometimes. I found my phone seems to lose data all together sometimes and I have to update profile and prl to even get any data. Kinda sucks but spending $40/month on Ting for 2 phones (Note 2 & S3) is way cheaper than spending $160/mon on Sprint. What's nice is I still get to use Sprint's crappy network. lol
I use ting and had the same problems, after the third call to them. I got an email asking me to let them know when I got home. Woke the next morning, to find my phone in the settings menu? and every thing has worked great ever senses. Don't know if they remoted in or not?
