Ok.. I flashed back to stock yesterday. I was returning the phone because of my GPS issues. I had to reboot to get GPS to lock every time.
After the stock flash, I got an OTA message. I figured "why not"
The GPS seems to work perfect. I can get locks consistently. It also seems a whole lot faster and more responsive. The lagginess is gone.
I highly suggest flashing stock (previous) with RSD lite then getting the update.
Same here. I have service again in my house!

It seems Motorola (or google) is really fast on updates.
This phone is not even two months old and already 2 OTA's.
My son's Epic is still on 2.2!

All you had to do was tell Sprint and they will send you a free airave.
How do u return to stock? I can't install ota. I'm missing native apps?

I agree with most the new OTA really did fix alot of things which I thought the 1st OTA mess up with my Photon.
Plus it also un-rooted the phone... so now I can try to sale it

Periodically, my phone will enter a state of extreme unresponsiveness, to the point of being unusable. If I wait it out, everything eventually clears up. Problem is it used to be 30-60s, now it's minutes.
The most reproducible way to get this to happen is to restart my phone. When I do this, I literally put my phone down for 30-45 MINUTES and just wait.
I just struggled through updating to 45.2.7 today, and re-rooted (took WAY too much effort, but that's a different story).
Are there any apps I should look out for that could be the culprit? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Wow. I have the exact same problem with my phone. I can even try to make a call but it never connects right away. 10-20 minutes later it will connect. Even apps I try to open do the same thing. Then it took me 3 days to finally upgrade also and then rooted it. Like u said after 30 - 45 minutes or so it's better but sometimes still randomly unresponsive. Reboots and battery pulls dont seem to help at all. I'm running stock rom and rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated also.

I use to have that problem on one of my older sprint phones.
I hated it. I understand why they do it but at the same time it's our mins, who cares!
Anyway you could try a custom rom.
I am fairly sure it's the phone and not the network side itself so may be something in stock rom doing it.
I can't flash rom because can't clear my damn google wallet until it's fixed and don't want to risk it trying to work around.

My dad has updated his evo to the 1.22.651.3 update. And now the phone randomly reboots and locks up all the time. He can't ever get the navigation to work for him either(its locks up and force closes). Is anybody else experiencing these issues too? Also whenever it locks up and unfreezes itself he has to reboot the phone to get data services back. If he gets a replacement will it have the same update? Could I just ruu back to the shipped rom?
Sent from my HTC Holiday using xda premium
I would say back everything up and do a hard reset. I've seen a lot of issues get cleared up like that. I would reccomend against getting a replacement unless you have to.
Yeah, if hard reset doesn't work, I would think it's a defective unit. I've had zero problems with update.
(I'm still stock)
Thanks for all of the advice I think I'm just going to try a hard reset. I really like his evo. Might be leaving att and my vivid for one of these soon. They're great phones.

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
Im going to explain this problem in a depth as i can.
I am s-off'd via jtagged, rooted and have twp recovery. I am on newest radio running NOS M7 v2.0.3
I can only connect to 3G for some reason with it reading eHRPD.
i do not know if it was reading this before i started the process of rooting since i never turn the phone completely on once i got it back.
So after some reading and advice i downloaded LTE on off to force 4G
It worked but at the cost of losing my mobile network causing me to not be able to make calls or send out text but i have 4G i can get on the internet.
Atm i am plagued with having 3G and service or using 4G w/o service... and this is a problem.
Also while on 4G it reads RSRP if that helps.
Idk if this is a hardware problem from me getting my device jtagged (which would suck since that means im stuck with it) or if it can be fixed.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated since im getting annoyed

What carrier are you on?
In any case, I would RUU back to stock, including kernel, and see if I get 4G. Make sure 4G is available in your area....?
Look in mobile connection make sure you have 4g enabled...

I had the same problem when I got my phone back. Took it back to Verizon and got a new phone. I tried everything and nothing worked. It is like something happened to the radio. Tried to flash a new one nothing. Still haven't heard back from mtv on trying to get a refund.

Sigh thats something i wanna avoid so Ill just have to stay stuck until moonshine comes out. I really like sense 5 and I don't wanna go back to 4+... Then I'll get a replacement I guess.
As far as RUU to stock and seeing if I was on LTE I already did all that. I was almost looking into build.props but I assumed that wouldnt work either. So guess I'm just stuck on 3G unless it randomly wanna come back which I doubt unless somebody comes up with a solution besides just getting a replacement.

Correct they are free, but the guy I tend to see at the Verizon store always seems to launch that hboot screen everytime I go in there. He did when I had the SIM card swapped earlier in the year as it would disconnect from my network several times a day. So I just want to be on the safe side.
I had my SIM card replaced twice on my resound and both times went to the store without relocking the bootloader or anything. Didn't have any issues. They programmed the new card and I was on my merry way. Maybe call em first and without giving any of ur account information ask if u can get a new SIM card if uv rooted ur phone. It would suck to go thru that process if it's not necessary but I can certainly understand the better safe than sorry approach. The phone call would definitely be worth the time though imo.

So I got the issue resolved without a new SIM card. So here is a combo of things I did to resolved the issue. I have everything in the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338810
I think it was resolved after I flashed my radio and then I went back to stock just in case I have any more issues in the next week. As if I do I will go back to the Verizon store and swap out my phone. But I'd rather be S-ON in case that happens and be that way for a bit. Plus I wanted to test the S-ON for future purposes of in case I needed to get back there I knew how to.
