I apologize as I'm certain this has been asked already. I just got my EVO LTE today. I'm using the Android xda app and I can't find any way to confine a search to a specific forum. When I type in my search, the app searches all forums at CDs!
When I'm away from a wifi signal, and I try to use any app that requires a data connection, I get a no data signal error.
I have tried switching to cdma only, but that does not work. When I check in settings, it also says, "no data connection".
So 1. What's up with that?
Bonus 2. Is there a way to search in the Android xda app and limit it to one forum?
Thanks.

Have you called sprint? Stupid question but you have mobile data turned on right?

I have a co-worker who just got this phone 2 days ago with the same problem. He called the store, told him what was going on and they said bring it back and they gave him a new one. Well it didn't fix the problem. Now they are saying its cuz Sprint is still working on making things work on ICS.. they have also said its because the update hasn't come to make it a working 4G LTE phone yet.. my friend is a EVO fan and is trying to stick it out, he has a 14 day buyers remorse period which he can exchange it for a different phone which he might go to the SGS2 .. any info would be great. Thanks on advance

Yes, mobile data is on. That's where it says, "no data connection". If you long press, you have the option for cdma only.
I haven't yet called Sprint because I figured this issue must have been posted here and someone had a fix. Also had fear Sprint would not know what the problem was. After the above post, I guess I have a good reason!

In the "mobile networks" settings try checking the "domestic data" option
Yep, domestic data is also on.

I had the same problem and used ##3282# to delete profile and couldn't get it to reconnect. Come to find it is was because i was connected to an airave. I went up the street and updated the profile again and it started working instantly. Haven't had any more problems since.
Same problems here - I kept going into roaming mode with full bars, then out of roaming and zero bars. Couldn't use any mobile data or make calls.
Kept having to update the PRL - like every hour or so. Eventually, updating the PRL stopped fixing the problem. Resetting the phone got the mobile connection working again but it still wigs out after awhile and updating the PRL isn't helping. Only resetting makes it work. Ugh.
I'm on wifi a lot and the wifi radio seems to work like a champ.
Updating the PRL and Profile and then rebooting the phone solved the problem for me.
i am headed to the sprint repair center at lunch for this issue. It will work great as long as I do not turn on the wifi..as soon as it connects to a wifi source it drop the mobile network like it should..but when the wifi goes away it will not reconnect to mobile network..it will say "turning on" then just go to disconnected...sucks. Hope they can either fix it or provide a new one.
Since I'm on my phone I'll make it quick does any one else lose complete signal of 4g? I'm not connected at all even though I'm on a signal 4g area oh and I've been s off for over a month and problems just started last week and it seems my phone never connects to 4g l

Try RUU'ing and then doing a factory reset in bootloader. That worked for me.

There's been a lot of problems with people staying connected to 4g in the past two months. There are already a few threads on it. I called up Verizon and they said they are working on a solution. Some people said they got a new red sim card that worked. I have heard its new so I haven't check to see if my sim switch was to the red one or not. I would reset the phone and try the sim switch if it isn't working call Verizon to add to those who have an issue. IRA not just rezounds its all 4g phones accross the country. Right now I am on 3g most the time in a 4g area (it was already 4g when I got the phone in novemeber no probs till June). Anyhow hope I helped.

changing my preferred network choice in the radio settings from "CDMA+LTE/EvDo" auto to "LTE,CDMA" makes a big difference when I'm having that problem in my area.
I woke up this morning to 4g. Mojave desert so cal. Never thought it would get here.

Anybody ever have a problem were their mobile data stops working? WiFi and voice works just fine.My phone shows a 3G signal and good signal strength but when I turn off wifi I get no data. I don't think its the ROM cause I've flashed 3 different ROM and I have the same problem with each. I updated my profile and PRL but it didn't change anything. I got this phone(EVO LTE) on day one and data has always working fine but his just started yesterday.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
mine just started this today around 2pm. getting ready to call sprint now that im home.
Im about to do the same. If I find a fix ill post it here.

I'm located in Dallas. So I just got off the phone with sprint tech support and they had me dial some code on my phone to bring up a menu I never seen before to reset some setting and my data and gps is now working. They only bad part is that my mobile data only works now when my phone is set go CDMA only and not LTE/CDMA. That sucks cause they do have LTE in my area.

I am having the same problem in Ft Worth. Started this afternoon. I can get 3g data if I set the data to eVdo only. If I set it to cdma I can only get 1x. If I set it to cdma/evdo/lte auto I get no data. I am hoping this means Sprint is working on the towers.

The sprint tech I talked to said that this happens if they are working on the towers. I hope so too. Ever since LTE went live a few weeks ago I've had a 4g signal for about 10 total minutes and I go to downtown Dallas often.

I'm having the exact same issue, and I'm in Ft Worth. Let us know if you find a way to stay on CDMA/LTE and still get data.
I woke up this morning and put my phone on LTE/CDMA mode....then turned aireplane mode on for about 2min and back off and now my mobile data/GPS is working on LTE/CDMA mode.....weird I'm glad.

My data started working again this morning. Still the same crappy 3g. It is funny, if I select evdo only my speeds double. On auto mode is get between 50 & 100 kbps, if I select evdo I get between 200 & 300 kbps. I still don't have lte at home, Haltom City. I have seen lte for a few minutes at a time at work, Meacham & Blue Mound Rd.

The sprint tech has to dial: ##3282# and select Edit mode(i can't remember the password he gave me) From there we went to advanced to verifty my MSID. That was corect so we didn't change anything. He said he reset the data on my phone and asked me restart it. After that he had me go into my mobile network settings and disable domestic data and select CDMA mode only and restart again. It's worked fine ever since.

I'll try and keep this from turning into a book.
Basically I have a HTC Thunderbolt right now. It is being replaced under the extended warranty that I have with Verizon. Since they don't have any more T-bolts they are sending me a HTC Incredible 4G under my total equipment protection policy.
I have already ordered a Nexus 4 (being delivered Monday) and will be going to T-Mobile with that eventually bringing my wife over as well when her contract is up. The only reason I did the warranty claim was because my T-bolt was dead and I might as well get a free phone out of them before dropping them since my contract is up and such. That way rather than have a 1.5 year old dead T-bolt that is good for nothing but the trash, I would have a functioning phone which I could sell. Make sense so far?
So my initial thought was that I would sell the phone take the cash to recoup some of my cost of the N4 or use it toward buying my wife's new phone on the T-Mobile network. Then I saw something about the Incredible 4G being compatible with a GSM network and that if I modify the APN that I might be able to get it on T-Mobile with HSPA+. If that is the case I will just keep the phone and have a brand new phone for free for my wife rather than sell this one and buy a different one. When they ship out the new phone it will come with a Verizon SIM that I can use to get it on their network, my account is still active with them so I can call them and get and try and get an unlock code if I need one of those before I cancel my account and I can get any updates that may be out there for the phone.
Of course if this won't work I would rather sell the phone as basically a new phone, well it might be a refurb but I don't know that for sure because they said they had to send me a complete kit because I don't have a battery and battery cover that would fit since I have a T-bolt now. Though they may have complete phones as refurbs.
So if it will work, what will I need to do before I cancel my plan? Though there was that new law that went into effect the other day that makes it illegal to unlock a phone.. But if I let Verizon do it I would imagine it isn't an issue.
Phone is factory unlocked I'm using on gsm, if you are on android 4.0.4 you are unlocked already and just need to set up apn

Thanks. I saw some posts from a while back that hinted at that but it mentions an upcoming update which may change some things. To be safe I will test it with my new T-Mobile SIM when I get that. The Nexus 4 also uses the micro SIM.

I tried that. Here goes some different steps I took:
I started with cyyanogen last nightly build.
Tried switching all the different settings in the hidden men u (gsm, CDMA only prl) etc. Changed the bands from automatic to to aus2. No good except auto and USA. 2g
Did this on viper and got the options 800mhz and 1900 MHz. No good on 1900. 800mhz 2g. (E)
Used the very alpha miui ROM from the general section and got two different radio strength bars. One was 1x and the one above it (weird right) was 3g. Had signal on the 1x but couldn't use the phone right away. Had no service on the 3g (although it started out with 3bars and slowly went to 0 and stayed) changed the APN to tfdata. Got phone but no data. Had to put the phone back onto gsm only to get data. Which gavee just the one signal bar.
I'm trying here folks!!!!

I found the 3g bands for your network are 850 and 1900 however looks like you live on a non 3g area, you just needed to Google it

I have been googling it for 3 days. I'm pretty sure I should get service here. Any coverage map says I'm right in the middle of the good zone. At&t, sprint, Tmobile, Verizon, virginmobile, all confirmed get signal and data here. I have been finding it a little difficult to find a lot on the radio bands but 1900 got no service here at all.

Strange, our phone got 850 and 1900 bands at stock, and you only get 2g, have you ever got a h, also set bands in automatic and wcdma only, then search for networks manually, best way to know what carriers will work

not in this case, you said you were not using your phone in stock, theres a bug where the 3g symbol got changed to g for gsm users, i read about it, statusbar theming on htc devices caused the h symbol to be swaped to g symbol, sorry about not being clear on last post
No. The g is definitely 1g. 5-15 KB a sec. All the symbols work I think because when I had Verizon on the same rom it showed the 1x, 3g, lte, icons, depending upon where I was. Usually lte or 3g. I'm going to get some go phone sims in a week or whenever they come in. The sim cards are cheap so I can change them out no prob. I just have ran out of $350 a month for phone service. I can almost deal with it Cuz its slow but very stout signal. Never dropped a download yet. I just don't like having to set up all my DL to run while I sleep. I'm used to lte ya dig!

Hi all
any way to put 850 band on htc incredible 4g?
i only see 800 - 1900 and japan bands 800 - 2000
You have to use a difderent sim card. There are people on here who know what oones tp get but they dont really like to. AT&T is supposed to work. Im not sure. You cannot put another frequency antenna on this phone without taking it apart and using a soldering iron. (Good luck!)

you are arguing with a very experienced person here. him and i both know a thing or two about phones and i must say, if he's sure its a bug, then it is. I am inclined to believe him too because we all know that HTC programmed this phone for a specific service initially, and they were not counting on it ever going outside the VZW network. That being said, there is no way for the phone to tell what network its on. Case and point... i just manually flashed my phone to the MetroPCS PRL and it still says Verizon Wireless... The network speed i get will not be shown as LTE even though i have it, because it only ever used GSM for LTE(which is partially GSM-based technology), not voice and data. So, on the stock rom, the phone is and will be "confused". CM10.1 works great and DOES know the difference. You will have best results by being s-off as i am.
I'm a bit confused on the network settings. For example GSM/wcdma,which should I use or leave it to both? What exactly is wcdma? Also on select preffered network do I want GSM or the uxxx (whatever the other is)? As is I get great 4g when I'm out and about but at home my phone just sits with an x in place of signal. Seems it should switch to 2g (is that what T-Mobile calls 3g?) Or g. It occasionally will with good signal but drop it immediately ....

Strangest thing, while I was trying to unlock the bootloader with the open (euro?) Version I flashed the radio for it and got 3g and hspa. Only time I've seen it, back on usual jellybean w latest baseband and its 4g or 2g again.
