My 3vo will seem to randomly not want to work on the data network, yet shows I still have 3G connection. Some pages will load and some background apps will work still...Anyone else have this issue? Maybe I have a defective phone? Just a strange issue I've never had before...

Are you using a temp root? I've found that every 2days or so i have to redo the temp method because I can't connect to data services.....reboot and It's fixed.

I'm having the same problem and I haven't used temp root 4g is fine. While I'm on 3g is when I have problems

I have theses problems to but my wife evo 4g is fine smh
Had the problems prior to using temp root...Hoped that temp root would solve it, but no dice.
Not sure if I should exchange it...Might be a hardware issue if not everyone is having the problem.

Call sprint and have them reset your data connection after a profile and prl update.

I had this problem and I did all the tricks listed in these forums... Nothing helped permanently. I ended up returning the 3D.
What browser are yall using? Even without temp root I have issues with FireFox.

my tethering seems very unreliable. im using the latest wifi tether apk but thats irelevant as i have used many versions but the problems persist. allow me to explain, im in no way new to android nor tethering. i have followed all the steps to get 4g tethering speeds ( toggle data off, disable 4g re enable and so on) the thing is i cant get a stable connection from my laptop or my xoom for more than 20 mins. the connection either goes idle or the phone just restarts or i simply get disconnected from it. im just wondering whether it' s just me or whether this a common problem among photon users. many thanks and great forum.

I believe the 4G on your phone becomes idle. Just a guess.
I have heard this happens to other Photon users as well. Not sure what the cause of it is or the fix. I'm going to try some things out when I get time and see what mine does. I've never tried to tether for that long of time before. Will post back if I find out anything new.
**I can only test 3G. No 4G in my area.
Are you rooted or using a rom?
**Ignore this (my) post...had something but changed my mind***
thanks. yes rooted & stock

i can torrent nd get bout 10+ mbps download running through tether for 3 hours no problem. could even get on gears of war on my xbox while tethering no lag no problem
favorite tethering app- open garden tethering (easy and you can lower the transmit power for huge battery life increase, i keep mine on the lowest available) but wifi tether if i need specific settings

thanks for your reply. im so jealous lol i do also get very fast speeds the only prob is that is they are not consistent. phone either reboots or drops the connections. i will try the app you mentioned also

Hi this worked for me. I'm stock and experienced connection issues with my wifi...sitting 2 feet from the router!!! Never had any problems connecting anything via wifi b4.
Go to settings>>wifi>>menu>>advanced. in the advanced section there is a radio button to enable Best Wi-Fi performance. Once activated I had no more connection problems.
Hope this helps.
Not sure if this might help but I changed WiFi to 2.4 GHz and like above best WiFi per. So far good

I did this and it worked for me briefly but then reverted to "authenticating" and then telling me it is the wrong access key for the network. I don't understand why it's doing this but at least for me it seems to be a 1.22 based problem as everything I've run with the prior firmware has been fine....

Your problem is different. Mine was dropping WiFi signal and then self reconnecting. Not anymore though. Your problem I have not came across. Have u tired running the ruu and reset your router?

I've reset the router multiple time and even gave my EVO a static ip to see if that would work. I guess I'll ruu and see if that will help. It's weird though.

OK, I'm not sure if anyone one else has or is experiencing a data connection problem with Verizon's 4g toggling off and on. I know I "was" and this is my theory and it has actually worked for me but first let me start from beginning. I got new tbolt because having this issue, I rooted and install ROM and everything seem as it was fine until I decided to connect to myverizon app and as soon as I did I started experiencing the toggling off and on again. So I decided to un-install myverizon app and reflash radio again and sure enough everything fine now. Well like I said just my theory but I think if u log in to myverizon app its causing this data problem. Inconclusion if you un-install myverizon app and reflash radio you shouldn't have any more data connection problems.

I constantly have to log in to My Verizon app. It's just part of how the ROM that im using works. I'm running Jellyblur 1.3 and have 4G data drops without even moving my phone on my desk at work. Considering I don't stay logged into My Verizon, I don't see how uninstalling it and reflashing my radio would make a difference. I love a good conspiracy theory though!

I'm saying don't use at all. Yes to update to see how much data u have used u have to constantly log in to update. What I'm saying is if u don't use at all don't even log in to myverizon. Give it a try... Delete myverizon don't re install flash radio again and tell me if your data connection is still dropping.

For what it's worth, I never installed the My Verizon app on any of my ROMs and only had it while stock, which was a year ago. I still got major 4G connectivity issues a few months ago like so many others. Made the phone damn unusable at times.
Yeah I know it was a frustration for me. Have u tried new radios? .19 radios

I went radio happy a month ago and flashed them like they were ROMs. Tried probably 5 or 6 of them. I even tried different combinations of CDMA and LTE radios separately. No significant changes although the .9 or .19 radios seem to work equally well for me.

i was having this problem with juice defender and i switched to the beta and now im fine it may be a program like that causing your problems
My texts are delayed and/or coming in batches. Same with the voicemails. This is a HUGE problem. I am S-off, 1.58 bootloader (I think that's the new one), rooted, and using viruses stock rooted sprint ROM. ANyone else having problems? I'm on sprint in the Denver area.
I have the exact same setup and issue with sms. I don't use voicemail so no idea on that. I think it started when I restored SMS from a backup. Have you done something like that recently?
I'm in the Denver area, running Mean ROM, ICS, having no issues with mms, sms or voicemails.
I would suggest a good wipe of your caches and a profile update.

All texts I receive are time stamped about 2-3 min ahead of my phones time so conversations get a bit hard to follow sometimes. I have tried to do resets, purges, different roms etc. I think it is a network issue with sprint... I don't doubt this because when they did tower upgrades here two weeks ago the auto time was set at PST and I live in Houston... It took a few calls to sprint before they would even acknowledge a problem and fix it.

They upgraded the network and it's so fast now that the texts travel forward in time. It's Network Vision!
In all seriousness, my phone will make me manually set my time zone occasionally as it can't get it from the network.

Happened to me too. Like it'd say the text was like from 9pm when it was really 3pm and it'd be so annoying because no matter what i send, it'd always be the most recent message.

Also check that you're on a proper prl. I know it only affects roaming but I've had a similar issue. Tried different prls, mostly for the 3g roaming, and discovered that I wasn't even getting texts. Went to a different prl and issue resolved. Coincidence? Maybe... But it worked for me.

What PRL are you currently on?
Also, keep in mind that your PRL has to do with roaming, so it shouldn't have any bearing on sending text messages (unless you're roaming). Your issue could be with Sprint and their service in your area, and not with the phone itself.

If you get that error you can try updating first over WiFi. I'd also do a reboot first. Once that works you can call sprint and they will refresh your connection on their side.

I think I was having the same problems back on my Blackberry, Sprint had to reconfigure my service or something, I can't really remember. But if nothing you do with PRLs/Phone systems then contact them to see if they just need to re-provision your line or something along those lines.
