I was using my GPS today while in the St Louis area and I noticed that everytime I set my phone on my lap I would lose signal. I figured it may just be the area coverage in St Louis but my fiancees OG EVO worked just fine with no issues. Anyone else experiencing GPS issues. When I raised my phone up it would find me again after a few moments but once I set it back down it would lose signal again.

your compass needs to be calibrated. This is definitely what's happening.

There's an app called Compass by Synaptik in the Android Market that will do it. Also, a thread about the whole issue is here:

I have the exact same issue. I have been very dissapointed in both my Evo 3D's performance as opposed to my old Evo 4G performance.

I just tried opening the app and it waits for a bit and then says that its not available due to many reasons...
Anyone else having this issue?
Yeah yeah, its a shooter,we call it 3VO and I'm not afraid to use it...

I have an evo 3d, but i don't have netflix on it.
However, and this is late, i know, but just sharing, netflix was working on the Wii for me all through the "outage," but it was -not- working on the iPad during that time.
Guess they had to take the system down to get all the price changes in place :/
Just to let you know guys I got a 3% credit (I know is not a lot just saying ) of my membership for the problems the happened

I recently purchased the nexus s 4g and I'm still within my 30 days. I'd like to swap it for the photon but I've been reading up on this sleep of death thing. My question is, before I make the plunge; did the last update fix the sleep of death? Also hows battery life compared to the nexus s 4g? Finally, Motorola has always been known to produce strong internal attenaes, how'd they do on the photon? Particularly the wimax radio.
Its either the photon or the galaxy epic touch. I like it epic touch but it feels so cheap!!!
Thanks for the input!
Battery is awesome, hardware is awesome. I also came from a nexus s and signal is soooii much better plus this phone does not over heat

You should check out the motorola photon forum. People are still having issues. Mine reboots on its own every day.
Sent from my Photon.
UPDATE
Just got my photon 4g. Friggin awesome. I love it!!!!
Thank u all for your input. Its appreciated. As soon as the bootloader can be unlocked without losing 4g ill be all over it
Glad you are enjoying it, I haven't seen the sleep of death problem either.
I got mine last weekend and I love it! I just hate the stock look. Luckily its Android so I can change most of it except the blue status bar.... I mean really blue? you cant make an element on the UI a dominant color like that lol. I am running Alien and dealing with the annoying update window for now. I love the service with this phone. 3G Data is actually worth something. Instead of the crappy antennas used in the Epic. My data speeds went from 200kbps to 600-700kbps in the same location. AWESOME!!!!
As for the 4G- I've seen the highest download bandwidth on any phone I owned, in my area, with the Photon.
I've got close to 12mb, where as my other phones, including the E3D, couldn't touch double digits. (Outdoors of course.)
EDIT: And somehow I can keep 4G going in my basement, in a brick house.

I haven't had the sleeping death before the update, but after I flashed the update I've had it happen to me twice today.

The truth has been spoken.
I get twice the signal that my Evo Shift would regularly have.
Okay there are a lot of these on here but I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing significantly faster upload speeds than download? I used to have equal speeds but lately its been 1 or 2 hundred down and 8 hundred up. Anyone know why?
boom!! from my shooter
i know what yu mean i uploaded like two whole photos albums of my vacation in like 2 minutes but my downloads are slow as heck im in seattle
I'm outside of la but yeah it's been ridiculous sometimes I get over 1000 up and like 96 down.
boom!! from my shooter
Ya I thought my phone was crazy but I guess.its not just my phone.
I had the same problem, until I contact sprint and ask them to reset my data and voice service and my phone work like when bought it!

Android 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1? Is this with an OG Evo?
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-listenwatch-sprints-strategynetwork-meeting-tomorrow
The meeting can be accessed two different ways:
Call-In – Call 1-888-393-1149 and use 6395937 as your ID. Make sure you call in about 10 minutes ahead of time to be sure there no problems for getting though. This way is not recommended for most.
Webcast – Go to here, like the “Webcast” link and register. Now you are watching it live! The webcast should start promptly at 9:30am. Remember to join ten minutes ahead of time. This is the way I recommend. (Mainly because it’s easy to watch at work or in class.)
Cool.
Setting myself up to be disappointed & somewhat satisfied.
My basic concern is experiencing a noticeable & noteworthy no no... Make that a hat tipping, river dancing difference in 3G performance, the 800Mhz band & current Wimax reliability during the roll out of this.

I expect the best actually. Sprint has been drastically improving their network in most of the larger areas. Network Vision has had a smooth progression through the states. They haven't enabled it fully yet, but it'll come in the next year or so. We'll get more detail tomorrow morning.

MOST is key word there as they have still left out Raleigh, NC which typically is one of the first to get stuff along with Atl, and Charlotte.

Well so far I can't tell too much of a difference other than I'm having greater fluctuation of 3g speeds. 3g service is holding constant though. I live in an urban area and I still have the occasional 1x service, and like you said, this was not so on eclipse. I'd like to run more speed testing later as well. I will edit this post with screens of my tests. There is was a substantial difference in the fluctuations than normal.

In my rural area I don't have many towers to select from. I thought if I could see if it works well in a rural area I might find a pattern. There is probably a few towers around your area since its urban so I thought maybe its making yours jump towers alot. I did speed tests about noon and I found it was consistantly 1.5-2mbps download. More so then that or swapping back and forth from 3g to 1x I was finding I got rid of my data hangups. That was the main issue for this mod.
I just did this yesterday so I'm still trying it out for long term results
Sent from my DROID X2 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
Well, I'm in the same boat as you. It seems to me I have more than my share of data hangups. I'll give this a try for a few days and let ya know if it helps any.

I am using this and the 3g speed hack (used 10) all is good. 1500 k on speedtest depending on the nearest cell.
Thanks.
Try the mod in the dev forum....different lib but sounds like you have a good thing going
That's the 3g I ment. I live 3/4 of a mi from a Hub.
Edit What num head I WAS ON WIFI @ 2.5 MIPS!
That's 1.5 mips TO 1.7 mips on 3g.
I was trying out the task bar at the bottom - that is my excuse !
