I'm currently on my 2nd 3vo....the new one is actually worst than the 1st because it keeps spontaneously rebooting/freezing. And on top of that STILL shows 4g signal (full bars at times). But has NO connection to the internet at all. I'm curious if anyone else has had the same issue ?....I love the phone but I'm really regretting switching over from sprint...and honestly contemplating canceling service before my 30 days are up.

I'm in Braintree Mass. right now and have been having issues the past 2 days. If it keeps up then I will call Sprint tomorrow and complain.
Yeah sometimes when I'm on 4G I have the bars but don't have any connectivity at times. A few times when i turned off 4G my EVO3d would not connect to 3g until i pulled the battery and rebooted

Same here. Just switched to sprint two days ago for this thing, horribly unimpressed. 200kbps 3G and constant freezes which require a battery pull (which is a pain with an otterbox on). Does anyone know if HTC/Sprint are aware of these issues?

sometimes i'll have 5 bars and no or very slow connection. other times i'll have 1 bar and 200kb/s. so i'd say it's getting better right now as before i'd have a hard time breaking 100kb.

I have had that problem in the past...
... When I had my 4G, it was infrequent network issues that caused that.
The 3D seems to be pretty bad about holding all signals/connections (WiFi, 4G, 3G, voice, etc.).
Sprint has been fine for me here in the mid-atlantic for years. It is this 3D device that has been flake-tastic lately. I am likely going back to a "plain-old" Evo before my 30days with the new phone are up.
I'm getting slower 4G connection than 3G.
I wonder if they thoroughly test the phones before releasing them ?

Been having that exact problem at work, two or three bars showing for 4g but nothing happens when I try to load pages (or do anything that requires data for that matter) its off and on though because later in the day the phone will be humming right along until it happens again... Took my wife's 4g with me yesterday to see if it was my 3vo but both phones had the same problem...

After Rooting this device i am having issues holding a 4G connection. My aera 4G is the best in the country according to verzion. Before root no issues after root only 3G. Could this be caused by the radio change during root? Anyone else with this issue?
I thought I had as I seemed to always have 4g in my office but noticed it was on and off today.. My thought wasnt that I rooted, but rather was watching the phone and little things like signal strength all day. I even switched over to lte only and evrc.b.
Maybe more tb's are hogging the signal
There's plenty of 4G flakiness going on, rooted or not. My 4G performance is identical to what it was pre-root. Usually it's great, sometimes it seems to just fade away to 1xRTT and stay there for a while. No amount of reboots or airplane modes will fix it. My phone did the exact same thing on Friday at my office (pre-root) and did it yesterday at the shopping center (post-root).
There's a couple of threads where this is mentioned/discussed already, you might want to search them out, there might be more information that helps you get a handle on the problem.

I hated T-Mobile when I had them... Never had 4g tho so can't say anything. My TB has ONLY been Post-root. I've had times where it shows mobile data as on and i have nothing coming thru. This was on the Stock Rooted. Now im on VirusROM and it seems to be a bit/alot better, i can't really test until school 2moro tho.
Just got off chat with Sprint rep admitting there is an outage. My service has gone from 5 bars to "No Service" and back.
I thought it was related to the VM FW I'd installed earlier this week (hoping to fix that ICS VM flash thing) but it appears it's something big.
Anyone else affected?

I am considering leaving but now is not a good time to switch. I would probably go to ATT and the phone i want probably wont be out for about a month. I would kick myself if i had to get a phone that's already been out for 6 months just to have the galaxy s III eat it's lunch a month later. The other option is ATT, which would be more reasonable with the family plan that we need and and they have a solid phone in the One X. The only problem with that though is they do not get good service within my house which is ridiculous (and i'd rather have the evo lte).

Was happening last week here in vacaville Ca. And my over all indoor signal strength is **** now everywhere.
Major issues when I was working in Detroit today. Bars on the phone went from full to nothing to 1 to full to 1, all within a matter of seconds. Data was slow (as usual with sprint) however most of the day my phone couldn't even connect to 3g or 1x. When it did, it was constantly switching from 3g to 1x. Phone calls would go through maybe 1 out of 10 times. I sent texts to about 10 different people today, I just got to the airport and called all of them, NONE of them got a single text from me today, even though my phone reports them as being sent.
Sometimes as I'm making a call and am disconnected due to poor service or hanging up too quickly, my phone will get almost a busy signal. It won't stop until I've rebooted the phone. I'm rooted on viperrom but it happened even when I was 100% stock. Any ideas on what's causing it or a possible fix? Thanks!!

I can confirm that my wife's phone has been doing this too, and hers is not rooted. I suspect it's a software issue, but the fact that it doesn't stop, when you shut down the phone, makes me wonder if it's deeper. I'm trying to decide what to do, because I was about to cancel the insurance, but not if i need it to replace a defective phone :/

This happens to me more than twice a day. Almost all calls placed from my house give me this tone. I'm past my 14 days, so I cannot return it for the sgs3. I honestly do not want to return the phone, but this is just ridiculous. Random 3g dropouts, an annoying tone on 50% of calls, and my phone will become unusually sluggish throughout the day. All of these problems are fixed with a reboot. It happens on stock and vipermod. I'm not sure about aokp or cm9. I cannot place a call with either of them. Anyway, I cannot believe a fix has not been released by htc/sprint. The xda community already has a fix for wallet. Sprint and HTC need to do something. My next purchase will be a nexus phone, after 5 HTC devices.
Wiretap
Poorly implemented federal wiretap. Go about your business as usual.
I got my phone on release date and never once had that happen until tonight. I noticed my signal was jumping in and out of roaming and everytime I tried to make a call, roaming or not, it did the busy signal thing. I called Sprint and they were looking into an issue with the tower I pull from. The same tower has gone down 4 times in the past 8 months, and everytime it goes down it is 3-4 days without service for us, it is getting really annoying.
Definitely not an HTC or evo specific issue. Had this happen to me a few times and the wife's s3 and a viper in the last few days
Turn off the roam guards. I had this same problem when I was on vacation. Once the roam guards are off you will be able to connect and not get that annoying busy signal.

I made a thread on this not knowing this one was existing.... I believe I pinpointed it only happens when and if u place the call your signal bars drop to none at that exact moment it does something within the modem and cause this tone of death I call it....
Nothing fixes it but a reboot.
HTC BETTER REALIZE THEY ARE PISSIN PEOPLE OFF, THEY BETTER FIX THE SIGNAL Issue before people return this thing..other than that love the phone..
I truly believe half of it has to do with slow network and weak towers Sprint is just trying to catch up after all these years

My phone is doing this with the roam guard off, and when I have 6/6 or 5/6 bars. Service at my house is very spotty, and 5 out of 7 calls will fail. In areas that I have good service about 50% of calls fail. I never had this problem with my EVO 3d, and my father has never had this issue with his EVO 4g. I'm ready to take this phone back. It's ridiculously annoying, and the only way to fix the issue is to reboot the phone. Also, I'm frequently not receiving calls in areas where I should be getting "good" service. This is obviously an issue with both HTC and Sprint.
On top of this issue, I keep nit getting phone calls. My wife calls me twice everytime she calls and the first one almost never rings. Who knows how many calls I don't receive in a day.

Same here. I've had a few clients tell me they've been trying to get a hold of me, which is a bad thing. Anyway, I contacted Sprint, and the rep told me to take it to a corporate store to swap phones -- something I don't really want to do. She informed me that this issue is not widespread, however, I've been reading about the issue on a few different forums.
Edit: for some strange reason I haven't had this problem in a day or two. Hopefully it stays this way.
Does anyone else have problems with mobile data dropping frequently?
My thunderbolt and rezound act the same. At work, the signal strength reported in the about phone screen fluctuates between -63 & - 73dbm. Ill lose mobile data countless times daily. If you go to the settings to try and toggle mobile data, it's greyed out and says turning on...
So frustrated with this behavior

Verizon probably have a weak signal in your work place.
This happens. Also, LTE is known to stop allowing traffic (at random) and require a turning off/on of Mobile Data (especially when using constant data for long periods of time).
It's annoying.
Different places - happens more than others.
I have also been experiencing issue with Verizon data connections as of late. I have a hard time even locking onto 3G with my Rez. But my other phones no issues, I am now on my 4th Rezound in over a month since having this issue.

Its like when it works it works well, but most of the time, it just sits there the data arrows unlit, when i try to use data..
I powercycle, turn mobile data off and on, and sometimes it works, but most of the time Im stuck to using Wi-Fi...
So why should i pay verizon all this money for Wifi?
Ugh.. Im gonna return this pos.

Compared to my unfortunate experience with 4G devices, any of my other 3G phones hold onto and got better locks on 3G than compared to the past Rezounds. Now the latest rezound finally does get a data lock the prior 4 did not.
I've got no 4g issues. Almost never drops. I'm in southern California.
Sent from my rezound
This issue has been addressed a lot in many forums for the rezound, tbolt, gnex, and pretty much every 4g phone out. For some phones its not that bad. I think its software based cause once I rooted and s-off I've never had it happen to me again. The gnex I think they narrowed down to combination of software and hardware issues. I've been running ice roms since I rooted. I've been through 3 replacements, all did it, all had new Sims all new phones (not refurbished).
Here's a post I followed when it was happening to me. I've done lots of research on this and I truley do think its software based (mostly because Verizon won't admit its their network)

It's a network. If you have -65 -75 dbm on 1xrtt that doesn't mean you have the same signal strength on lte. LTE signal is different from 1xrtt or evdo. The reason that you lose date quite often is because the LTE signal is very poor in your location especially if you are indoor. to improve LTE signal wilson electronics has very good amplifier, that calls sleek 4g-v get it. It may improve the signal by 20 dbm.
There is a few threads on this and no resolutions. There is some kinda of problem with the network that Verizon isn't owning up to. There is a bunch of forums posting the problem as well, where the 4g just drops off and then comes back on. Prior to the begining of June if my 4g dropped out it would go to 3g. Now the places I had solid 4g I am getting it on and off every minute or so. I went down to verizon and the girl said she is having problems with her Tbolt. We changed out the sim and she said she could get me a new phone but to me it sounds like the network if so many people across all phones are having problems. I am going to call Verizon probably this weekend or monday cause I am tired of being on 3g all the time and not being able to use the 4g is driving me nuts. Things are so slow. Arg.

From all the responses, Galaxy S3 is the best signal people are getting to date. Better than the one xxx and the Motorola Razor Maxx. And HTC and Motorola have been known to have the best reception. Go figure.
I won't have my GS3 until July 9th so I can't say first hand.

great I just pre order GS3, r u sure its data signal not gps? cause I found a couple of review that says GS3 has better gps than one X thats all I could find.
Am I the only one who has noticed poor 3G on this phone? Even poor for sprint standards. Especially at places where I normally get my best data I'm getting piss poor and even going into roaming. My desk at work is usually where I get my best speeds and now I can barely send a text message. I've only had the phone for a week but since I've got it 3G has been awful and even WiFi hasn't been spot on... I fails a lot dropping signal if my screen turns off for to long which sucks when I'm downloading a Rom or something of the sort, and before you ask I do have it set to keep WiFi on while the screen is off. I love the phone and would hate to get rid of it because I can't use it. So hopefully its not just me maybe sprint has something going in my area that started the moment I got my phone... I'm in Orlando, FL and I'm running stock with root

Call sprint, check for tower upgrades in your area.

Naw ur not the only one....with all the upgrades to both the 3g and 4g LTE my 3g has been hit and miss.....good some days and bad others....hopefully it'll all get corrected real some only saving grace for me right now is wi-fi
Underlying idea is, its not the phone... its the network.
Past experience doesn't guarantee present performance
MIne is working well.
Wifi is performing very good for me, and the other day at my apt around 6pm i got 1.9megs down.. 3G..
Its a tower that has been upgraded but still have yet to stay connected to 4G longer then a minute..
No there is an issue...I had a moto photon that was very fast on 3g.....when i switched to the evo lte...i noted it seem to be a lot slower...figure it was the network
Well i went back on my photon while i unlock the evo....and again the photon just flys compared to the evo....there is an issue..a big one
