Does the EVO 3d and sense 3.0 have the same issue as the evo 4g where it doesn't display 1x and it always displays 3g?
Sometimes I notice that I have 5 bars of signal and it displays 3g but my speeds are like 1x speed.

Yes. It shows only 3G icon. I think the problem is in AndroidPolicy.jar, but could be wrong. A custom ROM will fix this issue.
I was wondering why I've never seen 1x. Saw it for 2 years on my Pre in crappy signal areas.
Yeah I remember using a custom ROM on the EVO 4G like cyanogen but you would think HTC would fix this by now in their sense launcher.

Fix? Lol I think that is by design. Requested by Sprint. HTC devs were forced to comply. At least that is my thought on the topic.

Haha, that might be true, but wouldnt that be like...not sure how to put it into proper terms....lieing to our faces.....basically saying regardless where you go, you are always on 3g.
The only time that I've seen it say 1x or something other than 3g is when it was roaming.
If course its a blatent move by Sprint to trick us. The irony is that 3G in most areas isn't much faster than 1x at the moment.

Yes, it does and will show 1x but i only see it when i send a txt message.
Use a signal widget to display your true mode at the given time.
There is a mod for the EVO that you can edit the phones file and make it display 1x when you do have 1x. Not sure if it will work with the 3vo but I know it works for other HTC phones besides the EVO, might be worth a try. I'll probably try it tomorrow and let you know. Heres the link

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but how is the 4g compared to the evo? Is it the same hardware in the phone?

I'm getting a much stronger and consistent 4G signal. After I walked out of Radio Shack, I held up both my old EVO and the new 3D and the 3D had a full strength while the old one had 1 bar.
Sent from my squeeky clean new EVO 3D using XDA Premium App!!!!
Same here. much stronger. 3x the speeds that I was getting with the EVO 4g. Since I doubt the towers changed overnight, all i can say is that radio design improved significantly. I am getting 2x on my wifi as well. In contrast, I am getting two to three times as many signal interruptions (reconnects).
Thanks 4 the response! Now thats another reason to get evo 3d. Anyone else wanna have a response?

Sprint has to enable svdo on their network. The 3d and the EVO shift have the chip set. They are just not activated.

Actually the Verizon Thunderbolt can do it currently. Its been something that has been making me think about jumping ship, though at those prices, I should buy a flip phone for when my Evo is online...
The thunderbolt can only do it on LTE and the phone has no toggle to turn LTE off unless its rooted

No the Verizon TB can do it over cdma without being in LTE area. Not all VZ areas support it yet but the phone deff can do it.

Don't think so. the way sprint is doing their voice+data will require a certain chipset on the phones that supports SVDO, which last I checked is NOT in the EVO3D nor the shift. The MDM9600 is the only one ive seen and confirmed to have this built in.
Also a lil note for people that are interested This post lays out some things for the future in sprint and are pretty reliable sources for those that do not know them.

Well people, after reading this thread I just had to put in my 2 cents about it. I live in a 3G area of upstate New York with NO 4G around me and can talk and surf on my Thunderbolt. That was the only reason I dropped the call dropping iPhone with at&t and swithed. I drive a truck "18 wheeler" and everywhere I have gone in the New England area that doesn't have 4G I have been able to do this.

No he's most definitely wrong. The Thunderbolt can do simultaneous voice and data on 3g in svdo enabled areas.
Talk and Surf on EVO and EVO 3D
The solution is not at all elegant and drain the battery pretty quickly.
What else is new here?
In any event, be it in 3G or 4G (irrelevant for 4G I guess):
1) activate the built-in hotspot (password protect it to prevent others taking
advantage of FREE Wifi draining your battery faster than Concord)
2) Activate the phone Wifi and connect to the newly created Wifi in Step 1
At this point, you should be able to talk and surf; an added bonus (already available thru the hotspot feature), is you're able to connect other devices to the Hotspot connection created in Step 1.
The new problem you will have now is to find yourself a lasting battery.
Everyone has heard of verizons supposedly blazing fast LTE and how there the fastest network around well this is my moms phone running on there network had full service and everything. She's always complaining how slow her internet is and I didn't believe her till now

You really should think about what you say before you look like an ass. Right now it looks like you have a case of foot in mouth disease.
As the poster above me pointed out he is clearly only getting 3G.
@poster just because you have 4G turned on does not mean you are getting 4G your phone needs to pick up the 4G signal to go into 4G mode.
This has to be the most entertaining thread of the day.

Possible? Very Unlikely ?

I live in a 3g only area, and today my phone has started showing 4g sporadically.
When the phone shows 4g my data stops working and then all data cuts out and 3g comes back.
I'm running viper Rom with snuzzo kernel. Could this be a software issue? The Verizon website does not have my city listed for current or upcoming 4g availability.

if you know you are in a city with no 4g and dont plan on getting it soon, why not change it to CDMA only? The phone might think its getting a signal from a 4g tower and its causing it to switch like that

This has never happened before today, so I was hoping it was me getting 4g in my area.....
I tried the cdma only setting, and my data as a whole is spotty now. My wife's thunderbolt is doing the same thing now.
Is this what its like when they flip the 4g switch? Does anybody else remember when 4g came on in there area?

they might be testing the 4g radio in your area and it that might be causing it. give it a couple of days, if it doesnt fix you might want to as a vzw rep. for me it was back when tbolt launched when we got 4g
What ROM are you using? I know that on some ROMS, like cyanogenmod, it's actually best to keep phone on the setting that supports multiple data modes.
I live in a town of 15k and we just got 4G, so u may get it after all...

Ive been reading the threads and i see the fix is to cycle airplane mode. But i haven't seen any explaining why. Ive noticed that if you travel to an area without ehrpd(the hand-off from evdo to lte) itll drop you to evdo rev a. But wont put you back to ehrpd unless you either restart the phone, cycle airplane mode, or switch cdma/lte to cdma only and back to cdma/lte. If this has been explained, i apologize but i can't find it
So Sprint/HTC needs to fix the hand off back to ehrpd when you get back to an ehrpd area. Chop chop

What's LTE? sh.it, whats WiMax for that matter? >.> bought Evo OG on release, online chat rep said WiMax was available in my zipcode... Never happened... lol. I live in south Miami-Dade county... still have yet to get on anything but 3G with any phone hah...
not really funny though
/rage
We've been talking about this in several threads and its across many forums. The problem has been known since the phone was in Sprint's lab before launch. They rushed it out so OG Evo people would lock back in to 2 yr contracts. They tried to fix it twice via OTA firmware but still failed. Sprint is in denial there is a problem and so is HTC. You come to your own conclusion if it will get fixed or not.
It's working much better in the latest cm10 builds. Running the 10/25 build from deck. I've been holding lte almost exclusively. And have it places even toggling it before wouldn't get me. The handoff can sometimes take a minute, but it's on lte so much in comparison to before it hasn't been an issue.

It's been pretty solid to, only real downfall is the camera isn't as full featured.

So if you were to flash a sense rom right now, your lte issues will return as well? Is there anyway you can do a quick nandroid then flash a sense rom to see if it goes back to having the same issues? I am very curious as to what the results would be. I would do it myself but I don't have lte where I am right now.
So I'm at work now, and I'm still not picking up any lte inside. But I am when I go outside.
And I picked up and held strong lte at my girlfriends place the other day, which has never happened.
So it seems it is better, but still not 100%. As an iphone or s3 would have lte in my building.
If I go back to a sense rom I cant hold onto an lte signal at her place at all. Even when set to lte only. That part i can reproduce.
At least seems to confirm software issues.
pretty frustrating having to do the airplane mode trick to get 4g back (even then it doesnt work all the time), especially since when 4g is working it's so nice to FINALLY have acceptable data speeds from Sprint.
kind of feel helpless here with this phone, I haven't gone to a sprint store to complain yet, but it's not like I can reproduce the 4g connection issue it just happens.
I think they have fixed some it on the stock rom.
I left for the GS3 about a month or two into owning my EVO LTE. My main gripe was getting stuck on 1x after driving around Dallas.
After having some issues with my GS3 after their LI3 update i decided to go back to my EVO LTE since it too has had some updates.
The week i used my EVO LTE i never had any issues with it getting stuck on 1x. It also did switch back and forth between LTE, eHRPD and EVOD/A normally. If not a little slow to switch to LTE from time to time. I did find another thread and it looks like they have the LTE scan time set to 30 minutes. Way to long if you ask me.. But i guess in a year when more areas have actual saturation of LTE then once your connected it shouldnt matter much what the scan time is.
Yes, we know they have tried twice but it still doesn't work right.

I'm curious. You bought a GS3 at full price? EBay?
I'm getting tired of this issue myself. I considered maybe switching to T-Mobile and getting the new LG Nexus, but I checked, and Sprints ETF doesn't start getting pro rated until after the fifth month! It will be at least next June before it becomes financially feasible, maybe longer.
I don't have a lot of hope that this issue will get fixed. The weird thing to me is that it's obvious Sprint values the name, EVO, yet this will effectively kill that reputation.
