Anyone having issues with signal on bamf 1.3? Was having problems with 3g dropping out a lot before I flashed. It seems to be worse since I flashed... I'm not in 4G area and remember seeing something about 3g issues when not in 4G.... Anyone have any info on this?
Running BAMF 1.3 with latest kernel from Adrynalyne and seem to have no issues with signal strength.

Same here. I havent noticed any difference than stock
No problem here as well.
So far so good. Live in a area with good 4g, but work where 4g is spotty... Haven't noticed any issues vs the stock rom.
I am in no 4G area as well and no problem except I never got more than 2 bars compared to full on my DX. I however changed the settings on the modem (dial ##778# password 000000) so it could be why I have no drops in 3G.
How do to guys get 3g? I'm only getting 4g...

It wasn't a joke... If I turn off or switch to just cdma auto I will not get any internet... But I get 4g if I leave it on.

4G will be enabled by default. If it can't find a 4G signal, it will then drop to 3G or 1x.
It's the same way when 3G first came out it tried to stay on that radio band and would only drop to 1x when it HAD to.
If you've done the hack to turn off 4G, then make sure you select CDMA auto (PRL) and NOT CDMA only
For the other peeps new out there reading this and wondering what both I and infamous are talking about, here's the skinny:
There is currently no widget to shut off the 4G radio on demand yet, but we all expect one soon. You can change the radio settings manually by doing the following:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* then select "Phone Information", scroll down to the dropdown box and choose CDMA auto (PRL).
Be advised, this will disable 4G permanently until you follow the same procedure and switch back to CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto
There are a couple of apps floating around that do this for you, as well

I realized that, I have been using that app called "Any Cut" and made a short cut to my phone info and have been switching it from there. I click "CDMA auto (PRL)" and I get neither 3g or 1x. I used to own an Incredible and I would get 3g almost everywhere and didn't have a problem with it. But now, I either have 4g or no internet connection at all (unless connected to Wifi).
I am getting the same thing. When I use CDMA auto (PRL) I only get 1X. If I use CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto the I will get 3G. I think right now it all depends on where you are located and how many problems Verizon is having in your area. After all this is their first phone to be on this new network setup.
I did the steps here and it helped a ton.

on my captivate i used to be able to set the network selection to use auto, 3G only and Edge. i dont see these options in wireless settings, i jsut see an option to select network. is there a way to set it to only use 3G?
No because the phone only shows either E for edge or H+ for 3G or HSDPA.
More than likely you could get an application from the market that lets you switch and see if that works, but.... what's wrong with the way it manages data now?

Newer phones are using "smart" radio management chips (or something like that). The newly released Thunderbolt is the same way. Which sucks because it was a good tool for battery management
it sometimes switches to edge and i wanted to force it to stay on 3G. my captivate would do the same thing and keeping it on 3G worked fine.
is there any hacks to add this setting?

Lol it switches to edge because you don't have a 3G ssignal; what else is it supposed to do if you don't have it?
You can choose (for throat part) to go down but you can't just magically get a better/faster signal.

That's all well and good, however if you completely lost 3G then it wouldn't be there, even if you have the setting locked.

i understand that it wont give me a better signal. but i use my cell in low reception area and dont want it to constantly switching to edge and back and kill my battery. like i said i've used the captivate with 3g only and never completely lost 3G even with the captivate's crappy radio.

Lol I think I should state this.
I understand what you're saying and I am not saying I think you're wring; on the contrary, I actually do that as well, however I move mine down to edge when I'm not going to be doing anything data intensive.
I was just stating what I said to inform people, just in case someone thought you could force 3G at ALL times, which isn't possible if you aren't getting 3G in your area.

i think you have to redo the setting when you reboot.
Edit: i just notice that it also changes back when i plugged it in overnight. is there a way to keep this setting permanently?
I too am needing to set my phone to connect to Edge only. I have 1 bar at the house when my network type is HSDPA. When connected to HSDPA at the house, with one bar, I constantly get dropped calls or my phone may not ring at all. If the phone decides to connect to Edge, which has a full signal, then everything seems to be a-ok. Most of the time the phone completely disconnects from all networks when it switches from HSDPA to Edge... not cool.
I can not get this sucker to connect to Edge only via setting the preferred network type to WCDMA. The phone will automatically set itself to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) if I manually try to set WCDMA as the preferred network.
Rather annoying to say the least. ATT is the only carrier that has a full signal at the house. That's the only reason I that I signed up with them.

thats because wcdma is 3g only. you need to the GSM option, thats edge.
GSM=edge only
wcdma=3g only

Hello to all of ye' who are vastly superior to my in the art of "phone skillz"... I just rooted my bolt and I'm stuck on 1x ALL THE TIME.. Super strong signal just no 3g. Immediately after root, I was seeing 1x so, i flashed DAS BAMF 1.7 figuring the problem would be resolved... But, no... So, i assume that my lack of knowledge is preventing me from figuring this out and now i'm resorting to graveling for help from you geniuses at XDA....
Any insight as to what might be causing this?!?!?
Build: 1.13.605.7_das_bamf_1.7
software: 1.13.605.7
baseband: 1.1.00.0402w_1
Thanks a lot!!
Rooting wouldn't have caused your problem. Call Verizon and see if they are having any outages in your area.
oh yeah, in the "network" section is shows "mobile network type" as being "CDMA - 1xRTT"... dunno what the heck that means or if its relevant..

Interesting, dial *#*#4636#*#*, then go to phone information. Scroll to the bottom and click the Drop down menu. Make sure (If in 4G) it is set to CDMA + Lte/EvDo or if you know you are only going to be using 3G select CDMA Auto (PRL).

Since he's on BAMF 1.7, he can go to the BAMF Toolkit and go to LTE settings.
(Same thing, easier than typing all those numbers... )
If everything checks out, leave it on evdo/lte combo and let things settle for a couple of hours and it will come back. I've had this issue. Has to do with network registration. It sucks, but what can you do, hope you have wifi nearby for now. It happened to me after downgrading from gb radio back to ota froyo radio.

Thanks completely forgot since I have been running CM7 for a while. Using this APP takes you right where you need to be.
awesome, thanks for the fast responses guys! I went in to the DB toolkit and changed to CDMA Auto (PRL) and the phone rebooted for some reason (random reboot?) ... Regardless, it's rockin' 3g now!
You guys are awesome, thanks a lot! Should i ever change back to the other option with LTE though?? I don't have 4g in my area but, is it a good practice to have the option there??

if you dont have 4g, there's no point to have it look for LTE at all.
My Tbolt did that more than a few times the first few weeks I had it. In fact, it took nearly 45 minutes for mine to make any data connection at the store when I was buying it. Is it a 1x or a 1X. The little x typically means its roaming. It should be a large X at least.

i would just leave 4g off until you get coverage, all it would really do is eat the battery faster.

Agreed.
In my flash happy ROM experiences, especially when going from a GB based radio to a Froyo based radio ROM...it takes a while to get on to LTE.
It gets 1X off the bat, but it'll take a few moments for LTE.

Anytime you change the radio settings and commit the changes, the radio should auto reboot to set the settings properly...
I did read a tip that setting it to CDMA Auto (PRL) provides better battery life even if you are in an area with LTE. I did make the change on mine to see, and it does seem to help a bit. And I have zero issue hitting 4G nearly all the time.
EDIT: Seems rebooting causes it to revert back to CDMA auto. Sorry I'm new to all this trying things out as I go.
EDIT2: post I read was utter BS.

Anyone help me out on this. Ive been running cm7 smooth as butter for the past 3 weeks. Everythings great. Slayer Released .04 on twitter yesterday. I installed and lost all data no matter what I did. Went back to my original backup from the day i got the phone which is also the day I rooted. Still same thing. Only 4g. Now I am no dummy I tried everything. I went into ##778, modem settings set the rev a to enable. I commited the changes and and rebooted. Im at my parents who have 4g but where I live its 3g so i need it to work. Anyway. After doing that I could toggle between cdma and lte/cdma auto and could get 3g and 1x and 4g. So as most instructions tell you as does verizon wirelss once I got all 3 working I went back to ##778 and switched back to ehrd or whatever it is and commited and rebooted. Same thing I can only get 4g again. Verizon said there are no problems with there networks where i am currently located. I've been working with android for over a year and am not a dev but am in training. No matter what I do I cant get it to stick when I go ehrpd. I did get it to stick once and tried to go back to cm7 and couldnt get any data this time. RC.03 beings rc.04 did this. now I can only get data on sense roms and I have to keep rev a to enable and if I leave a 3g zone to 4g I have to manually change over and vice versa. any help would be appreciated
I think there are only two settings that you should use. CDMA auto (PRL) for 3G and CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto for 3G/4G. The CDMA + LTE/EvDo will switch as needed.
No it doesn't switch. The LTE cdma auto won't switch
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
You must set to CDMA / EvDo auto then wait few seconds once you get on the 3g network then set to CDMA + LTE/EvDo Auto. It does work for me switch to 4g and it took awhile to get on the 4g network.
Installed the .211 leak last night. I normally keep my phone on 3G to save my battery unless I need 4G.
I just went to change my connection and all I can choose from is Global or CDMA/LTE.
Can you not run CDMA without LTE on the latest leak?

Go to phone info and in network menu change to cdma only and see if it works.
If not, back to your previous setup. Just make sure you get note of it before playing around.

I tried to set it in the network menu, but my only options are to choose from "Global" or "CDMA/LTE"
It looks like verizon has done away with letting the user choose from 3G or LTE.
I'm pretty upset with that considering my battery won't make it through half a day unless I'm on 3G...
If I dial that number, will that put me on 3G only? I'm on LTE, I just prefer CDMA for battery conservation.

Yikes! I hope that's fixed on the OTA! I'm always in a 4G/LTE area, but run CDMA 99% of the time because LTE will drain my battery in under 6hours. On 3G/CDMA, I can usually get 14-16 hours. Glad I just bought an external 1800mAh battery pack.
I'm using the app called "phone info" that was suggested earlier in this thread.
App works great and let's we switch to cdma only without a hitch, and but lte in enabled when I reboot my phone.
I also hope that this minor issue is corrected in the final product version. My phone will drain in a matter of about two or three hours of LTE the way I use it.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
to make life even easier, download an app called minimalistic text. Once downloaded use it to create your our 3G/4G widget that once clicked on launches the phone info app, seems to work alright for the time being. but a dedicated 3g/4g switch would be great i dont see how something like this could be overlooked by moto/verizon
Just want to note that I'm having the same issue. I cannot find a way to turn off 4g, I tried dialing the 4636 number and it actually dialed the phone rather than launching the config menu. I'd like to be able to disable 4g at times since I am often in an area without 4g.
I really like this phone but want to make sure that the LTE connection issues are able to be fixed with a software update. I hope Sprint isn't BS'ing on this. I have a couple of days to return the phone and want to make sure this is fixable before deciding to keep it.
Anyone know if the Sprint rep who said it's a software issue is telling the truth or BS?
At heart it is a good radio. No reason it shouldn't work as it's supposed to. So, the majority of the issue is software. And it is fixable. Maybe just as good as S3 and iPhone 5 LTE reception?
The big question here is if Sprint will actually fix it this time. Know that there were fixes for LTE in 2 previous ota's. To what extent they worked on it before, idk. Thinking that this time is make or break it.
So, the answer is wait and see. U can get out of contract if LTE doesn't work for u though. It's apart of your service plan. Gonna require persistence on your part to get out after the 14 days is up, but u can do it.
If I were u and needed a good LTE capable phone, I'd go with the S3. Because at this point, it is up in the air if it will receive LTE like it should in the near future.
Correction first update was wifi, second was lte lol
Hope so. Has to be software related since both this and the s3 have the same radio. And, since the airplane mode on/off trick gets it working, I'm lead to believe its software.

Airplane mode trick???
I really hope they can fix this. I decided to keep the phone after looking at the S3 screen and build quality I just couldn't switch. I really love the screen on this!! It is just as good as my wife's iPhone 5 in color reproduction. The S3 is nice but don't like PenTile as I can notice it and I don't like it when whites have a blue color to it.
The Evo LTE has the same SoC as the S3. If the Evo was having hardware problems with LTE so would the S3, but that is not the case (according to what I have been able to look up). Therefore it can be concluded that the LTE issues are software and not hardware.

AKA Airplane Mode Dance
If you are in an LTE area and your phone is stuck on 3G, or if your phone is on LTE and it drops back down to 3G, then toggling Airplane Mode ON and back OFF will make the radio scan and re-latch to LTE.
That's the problem with our EVOs, it's an LTE threshold and handoff problem.
I live right on the edge of LTE coverage, so my phone will handoff to 3G because it decides the LTE signal is too weak. The problem is, in my area a "weak" LTE signal is MUCH faster than a strong 3G signal. If I go into my radio options and choose "LTE only" it will hold LTE signal all day long. So the signal is there, albeit weak.
What we need is a software fix that will change our radio's signal threshold so that it will prioritize a weaker LTE signal over 3G.
I'm tired of doing the airplane mode dance. If LTE is available, I want my EVO to latch on and stay on it even if it's weak.

Thanks guys! Installing app now and have the data code saved for a rainy day as well
Edit : after switching to lte only, I get no data (voice or sms) but im able to run a speed test using 4g. I live in L.A. but I connect to an Albuquerque, New Mexico server I'm not sure what else I'm to do to enable lte only and keep data
It's NOT true for me that switching it to LTE only will keep it connected. I still only keep the connection for about 10 seconds and then it goes back to 3G. My understanding is that option in both *#*#4634#*#* and ##DATA# is "preferred mode." It will drop back to 3G.
And I know for sure that Sprint and HTC have an open ticket on this issue of aquiring and keeping an LTE signal. They will eventually get a fix out for it.
I used the network tool post earlier and set mine to cdma/lte... So I get 4g and voice/text.. no evdo. Which is fine by me because evdo sucks anyway lol.
Works great I now can keep 4g in my house like my gfs gs3 and not switch back to crap-do

Someone try the 10/21 build of cm10 from deck.
I'm holding lte and seeing it places I couldn't get it before even when set to lte only.
This has completely corrected the issue for me.
