Sprint Issue? - HTC EVO 3D

As of right now, my 4G and 3G will connect but no data is being transferred. this is happening on my girlfriends sprint phone as well. both can connect to wifi without issue, but Sprint data isn't working.
Maintenance planned? or is something else going on. does anyone have any insight?

Around 4am to 5am i think sprint usually does maintenance on their towers...i work security during graveyard shift...and always its the same time, my network fails...no text but u can make calls...before i was getting bad 3g speeds then after one night BAM 3G was alot better!
edit: my service is good here in miami beach soo maybe is ur region?

Same issue here. 4G works but slower than usual. 3G is so slow that I can't load any web page and can't even run a speed test. Ping shows up over 1000+ and the test fails or it just complains of network problems all together.

Lived there for a month when I moved here from the coast,my reaction was something like.... Theres a reason they call it Willametha. 16 yrs of the 50+ mile RT has been more than worth it.
Everythings running fine today,must've been a tower issue/maintenance.

And yeah. All seems fine now. Must have been maintenance in the area.

[Q] How much data have you used?

Ever since lauch date, I have seem to be racking up data very quickly..
Already 5.4GB and counting..
At this rate, Im very worried about future capping or throttling..
How much have yall used?
I have used 500 Megs in three days but I have been playing around a lot and have good 4g coverage. On the down side, you can almost see the battery meter drop while downloading.
It's currently Unlimited for now right? asenduk, how long have you had it. That's quite a bit of data man!
Over 10GB so far. I use it as my home ISP and will continue to until they take away free tether. Then I will debate about root/tether.
Thanks to you folks, I will never be in the top 5% that get throttled.
since Thursday last week lol

I am at around 2.5gb. Had the phone since late friday afternoon (5pm).
After using the iphone since te 3g.. this is a nice change. I am liking it alot. Just need more battery life and i am set.
I'm at just over 3GB.
300MB Most according to TrafficStats is from the HTC IME and Touch Input.... like wut?
4G speeds are addicting!
The LTE speeds in NYC are AMAZING!! Even downtown manhattan. I realize the airwaves are pretty clear rigt now... but i hope verizons network dont take such a big hit once it get saturated. ive gone as high as near 18mbps down
lets just hope that iPhone 5 is not LTE
we dont need them clogging up bandwidth lol
Something seems to be way off with the way the data is calculated on LTE.
If you look in the details of your usage on the Verizon website you will see that many of the entries have no actual usage details - only some do and if you sum up all the entries that do show the number of KB used - you will see that it is actually LESS than the number of KB showing on the main my account page.
My data usage patterns have not changed since i switch to VZW last week and yet it seems that i am using 5x more than what i used to use on at&t....it does not make sense at all. i don't tether and don't download anything.
2.4 GB for me
.07 GB for wifes iphone 4. she got hers before me lol.
I use the hotspot for my ipod pandora and usually use phone more than comp or laptop for playing on internet.
1.3 gigs since launch. I haven't really been able to use it much though. And lte here is iffy.

Little over 4 gigs. When you tether and use LTE data goes pretty quick. If they ever do implent 2 gig caps like AT&T this phone will be damn near useless for me.

Here in Cincinnati, I've hit 30mbps a few times. I was getting those speeds at work, so wednesday I was going to take a picture of speedtest if it comes back that high again.
But usually I see speeds of 20mbps down.
I have had the phone since Saturday night, and I am like 2.8GB of data. Helps that I downloaded all the files to root my phone, on my phone, since its like 6X faster than my home internet.
Anyone else try gaming while tethered yet on like an xbox 360 or ps3? My ping is usually low 50s at my house. Might try that out tomorrow, just because I can

Cant seem to get any data speed

With this evo 3d i cant seem to get a decent data speed during the day time, at night i can get like 500kbs and during the day nothing over 150kb takes forever to download small files from market, i was a mile from the tower today and i still only had like 37% signal strength and was connected at 1x speed, ive tried the data reset. Ive tried calling sprint and htc and no one seems to know of the issue, i dunno if i should keep this phone and hope for a fix or take it back, im dropping calls and cant hear people at home now. im looking for you all to shed some light on this situation

Today was especially dismal in downtown Chicago. Went roaming a good 3 or 4 times.
Never had these issues with 4G...
Ya I'm having terrible data speeds too...tried all the hacks, and they helped a bit. But still really bad..I have a tp2 as well and it slowed down a bunch around the beginning of the year as well...Sprint offered an airrave but I don't have cable or dsl so I'm stuck...if you got cable ask retentions for one...they really tried to help me..YMMV..but worth a shot...oddly enough I got a tower Sprint tower at the end of my property, go figure..

I'm starting to wonder if there isn't a bad batch of phones out there. A lot of people are reporting problems like this. I got two phones on the same day. One of them is fine, the other is crazy slow on the data connection. I'm going to go through re-provisioning and everything, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up replacing it. Which sucks because I put a screen protector on it.
Yea i think its a combination of both..I had an e3d that got great reception but blown earpiece..replaced it and now speeds have dropped significantly..question is can it be fixed with an ota
Thats what im wondering wether i should replace it or hope for an update

guys, your phone is working just fine. Its the network thats having the issues. you may have noticed that it got worse when you got your new phone cause a lot of people were buying the evo3d and it slowed down the network. Sprint has major issues with congestion in some areas right now. I know michigan is really bad right now.

Not necessarily true. I just did a speed test on both of my Evo 3D's at the same time sitting right next to each other. One phone got a ping of 1346ms and the other got a ping of 238ms. There is clearly something wrong with the first phone. It's noticeably slower when doing any task that uses the data connection.
horrible speeds here. just did a speed test, 51kb down, 6kb up. typical speeds for me since getting the phone. i have one tower east of me, one tower west, both within a mile.
Look to see if your evdo is set to cdma only... Changing mine to auto has made my data speeds normal again

My 3d sucked and would always get high ping/low data (under 100kbps). I called there was no outage and they said to take my phone in... I never did due to the "service center" is about 120miles away but they gave a month of free service (130 dollars)
Because I've had a nexus s 4g,EVO 4G, and now a EVO 3d all with the same problem...
About a week ago I ran a speed test and i hit 2.1mbps download... And have been getting great data speed ever since...
I dunno what happened I think it was just the network but even during "peak hours". I still get 1600kbps so I guess it worked its self out :/

Well I'd say call in and "*****".
My aunt has had sprint in our town for 3 years and she never got anything close to 600kbps as they advertised...
Now for some reason they must have upgraded our towers or something.
But either way call in ***** and get a few dollars off your bill... No point paying for a service if its not what they advertise. Or if your unhappy

I took mine to the store today, they ran diagnostics for an hour and a half....of course, runs okay in the store because of the great reception, but they did notice that it would fluctuate greatly. They said to keep an eye on it, may have to return it to the place where I got it and exchange. This has been very frustrating. I go to hit the Internet and nothing, keep getting error code 68 often. They better fix their network issues soon (if that's what it is) before I go back to the EVO 4G.
It's def a network issue. I congestion issues. It drags during peak hours and runs ok at night. I ran speed tests on multiple phones all were awful. EVO, epic, and 3D. Plus sms was down for a few hours. Def network issues!

Sprint stores suck..before I returned my first e3d I called cs and they made a service ticket and sent me to a Sprint store .they told me where to go..anyways I get there and they act like there are aggravated that Sprint cs sent me there and said they have nothing to do with Sprint..looked like a Sprint store to me..anyways they tell me they can't run diagnostics because there is no equipment to do so yet..and since I was in my thirty day Window they wouldn't touch it..kinda sucked because the Phone was great besides the service..which maybe could of Been fixed If they would of tried..anyways returned it, got one with a blown speaker ..another return..Now I got another one with a seemingly weak radio..better than the first one at least..but not even closeto the one with the blown speaker....thank god for my airwave. I get 1.5 mb/s with that at least
This is probably posted in this thread or some other thread, but when I got my phone and activated it, I had Sprint do a data refresh/reset...whatever the hell they call it and I updated my PRL and what-not. I have not had any data issues beyond normal.
Although for the life of me I can't seem to get a 4G connection, but that could just be the area I'm in. It's very spotty here in Apple Valley.
And no...no connection to Cupertino...the city is really called Apple Valley. There's one in California too.

Connected to 4g but not able to access internet

So , my problem started yesterday and whenever I connect to 4g I'm not actually able to connect to anything online. Everything works fine over 3g and WiFi but everytime I'm ok 4g , I get nothing . I live in Philadelphia , and in a 4g service area. I've tried a master reset and still nothing. Does anyone have a way to fix it . I tried a search but wasn't able to fond any info for my problem . Thanks in advance for all your help.

Having the same problem in the same area. I called Sprint just now, the rep said it wasn't the towers. I have a OG EVO, I'm about to power up and test out. If it works fine, I'm returning the 3D until they issue a fix. This one was a replacement for one that was running hot, but I noticed weak 4G speeds on that one also.
I actually went through your same ordeal on TWO 3vo's.....third one was a charm.. nothing will fix it, so you'll have to take it back to Sprint for a new one.

Thanks I'll stop in a store tomorrow. Hope 3 is the charm for me too, or I will go back to my OG for awhile. I need my 4G hotspot.
The rep mentioned there was a (bad batch) that was having problems. I was honestly almost going to cancel service and go back to sprint. Once you get a 3vo with no issues you're going to LOVE the phone. And just wait ti'll we have an unlocked bootloader....lol

Thanks for the update. I'm from the philly area as well. I'm going to keep mine on 4g all day to see if i also get the intermittent connection. Sometimes it will work then sometimes it won't
I was having the same issues yesterday. I spent like 2 hours talking with Sprint doing ##3282# data profile restores until the 5th rep says it’s a nationwide issue. The connection showed full reception on my 3D and my wife's OG EVO, but the connection to the internet or any other data services was intermittent. Seems to be fine today.
this was working fine today but stopped working about an hour ago. anyone else have this issue???
you guys are not alone
sadly this is not only a evo 3d problem...i have an epic 4g and have been experiencing the same problems, the 4g connects yet no webpages will load and apps wont connect to the internet. 4g sometimes starts working again but then it stops again. If anyone can find out what the hell is going on it'll be a great help.
I've had issues where certain apps don't get internet access while on 4G but the web browser always seems to work. I know Scrabble from EA didn't like the 4G, and Google Music didn't either.
Johnbis. The same thing happened to me as well. During the same time frame. I'm still not able to get 4g as well.

everyone is honestly too quick to jump the gun and return their phones. It's quite silly and alarmist.
Just reset it or wait it out; that usually solves most problems.
This is my second evo 3d, this one works fine till today, i work at Bethesda ,MD, the 3g works fine, my 4g no way this evening, they need to solve this problem asap, or else they are going to loose customer, evo 4g has good reputation, E3D please don't destroy that reputation.
They responded to me on their Facebook wall, Wimax cell sites are down (intermittent data issue on 4G). They're working to bring them up.

Thanks for the update. I will update this thread as well if it go's back down. As of right now its up for me.
and its back down.....
I'm in Philly and I'm having the same issue (for the past two days now, actually). As of 9:53 EST in Center City Wimax is down, and it was down around 7:50 am today. Yesterday (Monday), I had connection problems from Noon to 4 (in Center City), but could connect to SpeedTest around 5:50 pm in Mt Airy.
If it is just the wimax cell sites being down, as opposed to a bad 4G attenca in my phone, does anyone know of a way to check besides calling Sprint? Their reps vary wildly in competence (or at the least, some suck at reading their memos/emails), and I don't want to have to call 80 of them to get a straight answer :/

LOL if you noticed, I'm in your area, its not the phone.
Yeah, I noticed Someone had mentioned in this thread that he'd had two 3vos with busted antennas, so I'm a little worried (I've had an amazing streak of non-defective electronics purchases, and I'd hate for this phone to end my streak LOL).
As of 10:40 Am EST in downtown Philly, with 1 bar of 4G and 4 bars of signal strength, I have Wimax data transfer (3.20 Down and 0.07 up, 115ms ping). That's after updating my PRL then my profile while 4G was on. I'm guess they're currently working on getting the WImax cells up.

Boston area 4g outage

Okay, starting this morning my 4g will connect (says ip address and connected to sprint) yet will not pull down any data. That includes no webpages or if I try speedtest it hangs at testing ping. Zero data. I'm currently using warm rom with stock kernel for the past few weeks. Definitely not a 4g service issue as someone with an Evo 4g was able to pull data with no problem standing next to me today. Tried wiping all and flashing the latest warm rom to no avail. Any ideas? Anything else I should try?
Thank you for any help you can offer!
I have no data also. Never rooted and with the original stock firmware (so if I want to root) and the most recent PRL. I am in Boston if that matters. 3g works just fine.

Thank you that makes me feel a little better as I am in the Boston area as well. Really strange though that someone with an original evo was able to down 4g data today. I might give sprint a call to check on any outages.
Talking to sprint now and they say NO network outages in Boston area. Strange.
I had this issue in the morning a day or two ago but it went away after an hour or so. Problem returned this morning and have had to use 3G since then because Wimax isn't working.
I'm on the latest Warm nightly and too am in Boston. Sounds like it's specific to Boston.

If it's not back by the end of the weekend, I'm writing a letter.
4g Still broken in Boston area. Many reports....when a phone is mentioned it is the Evo 3d. Was there an over the air update yesterday?
An OTA should not affect it since I haven't upgraded since the first one. Also, people that I know who have the Evo 4G can use data just fine.
Dose everyone with the issue have the evo 3d or is it whit all phone, because sure seems like the ones with the issue are evo 3d users
as well as everyone should! this is BS!! i am more mad that i called CS 3x and they kept telling me there's no outtages in my area! how could they not know about something as major as this????? I had to go outta my way to a local store for them to tell me this crap??? my cousin called to complain and they hung up on him! called back to speak to a manager and they just kept him on hold! kinda missing T-Mo right now!!!!

Wow, glad I found this thread! I got the same problem on Nexus S 4G located near Norwood. In my case, I just got a replacement phone yesterday. 4G was fine yesterday but today, nothing. I was starting to think I got a defective phone. The worst part is that with 4G enabled, I got a signal so it doesn't even try to fall back to 3G. I just checked Settings > About phone > Status > Mobile network state says Disconnected when 4G is turned on.
I can only get 4G service while at work so if they've disabled it, I'm gonna be mad!

can't speak for everyone else but i don't mind at all. Just don't like the fact that Sprint has no idea whats going on and sending people to local stores to me is BS! they should be more informed of something this major going on and not making everyone think there phones are junk! all they have to do is inform their customers of the testing and to put their phone on 3G! i had no idea of that and had no data till i went to the local store today and they told me to put it on 3G.

This is why i hate Sprint..

38kb a sec data.. i've seen it as low as 2kb/s
Service was full bars. One dropped as i was taking the screenshot..
Should have just kept T-MO. But the allure of 3D got me..
My parents use sprint, i use Verizon..
and Ive also noticed their speeds to be pathetically slow.
nice job sprint! lol
Funny thing is, the only time I EVER have issues with my 3G speeds are
1) At home when I can always use Wi-Fi
2) At school when I don't need 3G for much anyway
If the service in your area isn't enough for you, then you should switch to another carrier. I wish I could switch to Verizon, but they're more expensive and don't have unlimited data.
Here are my speeds, testing around in various places (school, my house, my girlfriend's house, etc.)

2) At school when I don't need 3G for much anyway
If the service in your area isn't enough for you, then you should switch to another carrier. I wish I could switch to Verizon, but they're more expensive and don't have unlimited data.
Here are my speeds, testing around in various places (school, my house, my girlfriend's house, etc.)

You sure its not your phone ? I had the worst speed ever on my first EVO 3d did a few test and confirmed it was hardware took it to sprint they confirmed it. New one ran like a champ hauled ass.

also, to touch on my previous post..
Not only are the speeds of those i know with sprint phones pathetic..
But the coverage sucks!
4 people in my car...
2 with verizon phones, and 2 with sprint phones..
Drive 30 minutes away to some nice hiking trails...
Before we can even get there..
Both sprint phones have ZERO bars, and a phone call or text cannot be accomplished.
Yet, both verizon phones stay connected without an issue, and keep all bars. lol
Yeah,
"sprint rocks" my ass.

38kb a sec data.. i've seen it as low as 2kb/s
Service was full bars. One dropped as i was taking the screenshot..
Should have just kept T-MO. But the allure of 3D got me..

Have you done the sprint proxy mod which changes the rtsp and http stuff I tried that recently and it gave me worse speeds than what I had before. Check those.

I feel your pain Bro. I get weak data all over. Except the most random places I get great signal. But work is meager and home is ok, but I use wifi all the time.

Sorry attempt at a joke.. But do you notice i have full bars and get the speeds in the screen? Its obviously not my fault. And honestly.. if putting my phone inside a vagina would give me better service, I would gladly find a candidate to do the speed-test.

LMAO, you got thanked for that.

I'm in the East bay Area and its just like that out here Bro. I stay mostly because of M2M minutes and the fact that I have 6 lines on my family plan. I just wish data was better. At my office I am all excited if I hit 300kb, usually in the 100 range. At home I hit like 600-700, but use wifi so it;s a moot point. In the middle of my kids soccer field....1.7mb...seriously...WTF? lol

So the RTSP and HTTP changing them to 0 and 0.0.0.0 gave you worse speeds?
Sprint blows, i have the same issues in michigan with full bars. They are over congested in my area and don't seem to be in any rush to expand thier 3g network(or introduce 4g). At my other house i get low to average speeds though, also with full bars. IMO, you should never see speeds lower than 800 kbps with 3g coverage. Unfortunately, at my house on the east side of Michigan, the data is frequently between 400-800 kbps, though that is still much higher than the speeds i get when im at my apartment on the west side of Michigan.
keep in mind that the competition is almost always pulling 1500-2500 kbps in areas like mine.

That's not even trolling.. He's just seeking attention.
Here's mine
Swyped from mah 3vo!
sprint is the only company where I can get the best service at my place. It all depends on locations you can have them but like a router for 4g 3g service in your house.
LOL at least you get "decent" speeds. On my old TP2 I was getting 600 kb now with the 3D I can't get past 32 kb on 3g. If it wasn't for Wimax near me I would be with big red.....sero plan helps. Seems like I got a fancy paper weight when I'm not in a WiMAX area...... Unlimited data so slow you can't use it.
