Hi, I'm on sprint with my evo 3d and I'm stuck with only 1X. I have read the posts about the bad PRLs and I have set mine back to 21081 with no luck. I read here cricketusers.com/sprint-htc-evo-4g/9588-evo-only-doing-1xrtt-no-3g-evdo-any-ideas.html that " I took a backup using QPST of my old EVO, and loaded that on to the new one, and I'm getting pings under 100, downs around 1000 kbps, ups around 500 kbps."
Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.
get msl# type ##3282# type in your msl as your password click on edit mode click data profile hit menu and restore. then reboot. when it reboots let it do the hands free set up but cancel the prl update and firmware update. hit thanks it helps. that is what I did and it worked
hey shawnten, thanks for the reply. I have already tried that many times, but I will do it again right now and hope it helps. I actually haven't done that since I changed the prl, so I'll hope for the best. any further advice would be appreciated.
I would also like to mention that I keep getting error 67, unable to establish wireless data connection. doing hands free activation now taking forever
Still on 1x. Could someone share a qpst backup of their phone to me? Perhaps that will fix the problem like in the original post
i have the same problem any help is appreciated
This worked for me. Thanks
Seems like the 21081 prl is screwing up no, because I had the same problem earlier today. I switched to the 11115 prl and I have my 3g back but now its stuck on roaming
Turning GPS off is important!!
"FIRST, make sure you are using the stock dialer and not a third-party one as the menus will not work (as I discovered the hard way... ) Then...
Turn off your GPS. Dial ##3282#, and select Edit. Enter your MSL, then go to Data Profile. Push the menu button, then tap on Restore. Push OK to reboot. Allow the phone to go through hands-free activation, but WATCH YOUR PHONE CAREFULLY AND PRESS CANCEL WHEN IT BEGINS TO UPDATE PRL."
Compliments of CarrieK.
Tried 3 or 4 prls, followed all the steps and still 1X I believe the 4g works but I'm not in a 4g area anymore so I can't check. Anyone else...?
Try ##3282#,edit,enter msl,EVDO,preferred mode- Automatic,menu, commit modifications,ok. See if that helps.

I have factory reset my phone like 7 times and done all of this and still on 1x.. I know 3g works fine on my evo 4g cause I'm using it now. Dunno what the problem is... the settings on my phone are fine.. can someone post a QPST backup of theirs?
This happened to me before too. What I did was turn off the gps. Update the profile. Update the prl. Then goto the dialer and do the ##DATA#. EDIT. Enter MSL. DATA PROFILE. then MENU key RESTORE. It will confirm then restart if it doesn't restart then POWER MENU. RESTART. Wait for the Hands Free Activation to come up after the restart. Let it activate then CANCEL THE PRL UPDATE AND THE FIRMWARE UPDATE...
Hope this works for you. I've gotten stuck at 1x about 3+ times and this always worked for me.

EDIT: Seeing your previous post about those download speeds makes me think your 3g is working fine. Get the app Network Signal Info and see if that tells you your on 1x.
Why is it that nobody can read my posts? Those are not MY speeds. I have netmonitor and I know I'm on 1xrtt. My d/l speed is about 30 kb/s. I'll try doing what you posted again but I have done it at least 12 times.
another thing you can try which is one step different but may help is doing the data profile restore and and let it do the profile update then follow thw rest of the steps. that's the only thing i can think of other than it being something on sprints end, they may have to reset something.

I've seen people's phones get stuck in cdma only (1x) mode, it's just an internal setting that needs to be changed.
It was fixed with this app, however I don't think it works with the 3D:
https://market.android.com/details?...GwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmtjLm5ldHdvcmtzd2l0Y2giXQ..
I can probably look around more tonight for something that will work with the 3D, I just can't remember off the top of my head.
Edit: probably the same solution as the post above mine.
This happens to my 3d when I first started messing with my prls I followed those directions in the op of the post I liked above and never have had a problem.

My 3vo is getting max 126 download and even worse upload. Four people in my family have EVO 4g, they are consistently getting close to 1 mbs and similar uploads. Tried the proxy fix and everything. My speeds are typically better where I live, but are horrible this holiday weekend. Could it be the towers here don't like the 3vo, or should I exchange the phone?
Thanks

Try 2 things before you take it to Sprint:
First, update your PRL and Profile (Under Menu-Options-System Updates) and then hard reset the phone. (Turn it off, pull battery, turn it back on) then test your speeds
If that doesn't work:
Try the MSL fix Here
Make sure to write down your defaults, as I hear Sprint doesn't like it when you mess with that stuff, and set it back if it doesn't help.
If all else fails, go to Sprint, whine or something. Maybe they'll give you an AirRave. I'm just not a fan of having other people fix my problems.
I get same DL as you, upload speed is like 18. Only getting 2-3 bars most of the time even though I pulled up the sprint map and there are supposedly towers all over the place here.

The over the air provisioning is not authenticating your 3g (only 1x speeds)
The fastest and easiest fix is to call sprint tech support and have then perform a HLR RELOAD or refresh on your data profile.
From there, you will go to settings then update profile from your evo
Note: if the hrl reload doesn't work, have tech support "REPROVOSION YOUR DATA PROFILE" (exact words)
Trust me. This works
What happened was when you dis the hands free activation, 3g was not authenticated correctly.

I has the same problem all last week, it turns out (God, knows why) but my EVDO setting was CDMA and it had to be set to Automatic - Once I changed this, I was getting much better speeds.
called sprint. they did something and asked me to reset the phone after we hung up. same speeds afterward, 98 down, 70ish up. said they can't do anything else because i am calling from the phone i need service on. i don't have another phone to call from right now so i'll have to call back later and request the reloads mentioned above.
after resetting my phone, i did prl update, profile update and the proxy fix. still getting same speed results.

what speeds are we suppose to be seeing. I'm using speed test.net and my test numbers always change. on 3g i can test it 1 minute apart and get 1.16 Mbps down and then .72 Mbps down......should they be better?

Those are 3g speeds so sounds like authentication for you isn't an issue. Probably just the network where you are.
i would be satisfied with speeds in that range, even if they were sporadic. what i'm getting is .2 mbps down .03 mbps up (or less) consistently. just got .03 down, .11 down and .18 down, on my last three tests.
I am constantly getting 300-400kbps down and 50-150kbps up.
Tried ##786# and performed a data profile reset. Fixed it got great speeds now.

Can someone point me to a link with directions on how to use the verizon 001 prl on my 3d? I am aware of the risk but want to try it out. Thank you!
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Download the PRL file and place it in the root of your SD card.
Hit ##775# from the dialer. Enter you MSL, and tap "update PRL" on your screen. Wait a few seconds for it to load. Search in SD card and use the second drop box to search only PRL files. Select the PRL file, press OK. When it takes you back to the screen where you previously hit the "update PRL" on your screen, be sure to hit the menu button and commit the modification.
It will say that your phone is going to reboot, but you may have to do it manually. Until you reboot the phone, the PRL will not change. Be sure to have a copy of the old PRL on your SD card so you can revert back easily, because you will not be able to go back to a Sprint PRL using the network since you'll be on Verizon's network only.
You said you know the risks, so I won't warn you of what could happen if you do this too much for too long.

Hah. Yeah, or you could get a REALLY expensive bill or if you're lucky just get the contract terminated.
If you want "faster" speeds, then overpay for it.
Now, to the OP: there is a thread here that gives you the DL link and instructions on how to flash it to your phone. Heed the warnings I posted about though. Do it at your own risk, gl.

Ha! I know all about it, man. I only did it once with my OG Evo and once with this phone just to test the speeds. I was back on Sprint towers 5 minutes later, though. I've been with Sprint since 1999 and I don't want to get booted over some BS.

Significantly better on Verizon, but maybe 1-2 months ago, Sprint's 3G network by my house improved drastically and I'm sure it's just as fast or faster than big red now. However, where I work, Sprint's signal is horrible and my phone is constantly switching from roam to Sprint if I'm not on WiFi. I know I ran speed tests on both (before the improvement of the Sprint network), and I don't remember the exact results, but Verizon was 5 times faster.....at least.
I still have the 00001 PRL on my SD card. If I remember, I'll flash it and try testing both networks again tonight during off-peak hours.
so this morning i saw on XDA that a new PRL update was out for the evo. i did the *2 thing and clicked update PRL. it said it updated but ever since than i CANNOT make calls nor send or get texts. nor can i put 3g on. =/
has anyone else had this issue or should i just call sprint.

I updated to the latest PRL and I have been having trouble acquiring 3g connection at work in Houston. It goes in and out and the data speeds are abysmal. It is very fustrating. My OG Evo was slow but not this slow here at my office. Im not a happy camper....
Have you rebooted?
at least you get some what of 3g. every time i turn 3g on i get "sprint error code 97"
i cant send texts or make calls.
i think my PRL update failed mid download and now i cant update it at all. ugh this is so annoyinggg
iv rebooted so many times. every time i go to *2 it says i have an PRL update. when i go to click it i get this..
Try turning on wifi, then turning mobile off. Then wifi off, and the mobile back on.
Mine had to try turning on a few times, but eventaully came back. Thing is, my prl didn't even update.
Still on the same one, which apparently can vary by location.
Doing the *2 will probably always tell you there is an update.
Mine came with that prl. I haven't had a issues other then Wednesday it wouldn't connect for about a half hour. I did about the reboots and it finally worked again

If you are having issues make sure you also update your profile. The option is right above "update prl"
Settings>System Updates>Update Profile
Also, try updating your PRL through the phone and not through *2 first and see if that works, then update your profile.

I live in Houston (Sugar Land) as well and yesterday I had a chance to play with this. WOW, just leaving my house and not turning WiFi off it wouldn't connect to 3G, I would get the icon everyonce in a while, but trying to get a speed test i would get connection failure every time...
So I turned off data, wifi then turned back on and it worked. I hope I don't have to do this every time... but I can tell you before this I didn't do this and noticed when I would turn my phone on after i left my house (WiFi) for the first 5 seconds or so after the screen lit up there would be no 3G icon, then it would appear and get up/down arrow traffic...
Seems something is wonky? Not sure if this update fixed or made it worse, once I was able to connect I got really good (for 3G on sprint) speeds 1.4 down and .7 up... I would do a screen shot, but forgot how? thought it was power home but that isn't working..
still love the phone though...

I got into settings but there is no "system updates" or "update profile". There was on my who 3d. Is it hidden somewhere?
I tried to update, prl stayed the same. 3g went out, until turning mobile data off, and back on.
Sure wish they'd flip the LTE switches here in their hometown. I'm roughly 2 miles from sprint headquarters..
Glad I don't see the bill, because if I did I'd stop paying it.
This seems to be a common thing this morning. I spent an hour on the phone with tech support. She told me to take the phone back, however it seems that a lot of people had this problem. Mine is back up and running with 3g.

Speeds have been abysmal since about early afternoon here in VA. Speedtested and got anywhere between 90-220ish kbs, can barely stream Pandora on low quality (which means it's TERRIBLE).

I had the same issue on my phone. I called Sprint and had to do a factory reset before I could re-establish a data connection. Make sure your contacts and any files you want to keep are backed up and clear out Google Wallet if you haven't already and factory reset the phone. Go through the normal activation process and you should be back up. I won't touch my PRL update again unless I absolutely have to.

Anybody still having this issue? I tried "all of the above" minus a factory reset withno results until I turned LTE off... so far, all is fine.

Hi, so this month my 3G seemed extremely slow with pings in the 1000+, as well as less than 0.10mbps download/upload speeds. Today I noticed it's only connecting to 1X. This is even with full bars.
I spent 2 hours on the phone with Sprint who tried refreshing everything to no avail. They had me reset the settings within ##DATA# also.
It started some time, this month, after the last update. I am rooted, S-OFF, etc. running Stock With Goodies and even reverted back to the regular stock ROM and nothing is changed. I have the latest radios and firmwares also.
I don't have LTE in my area, but 3G is usually pretty decent. I have 3 other phones (EVO 3D's) in my home, all on 3G fine. I had Sprint activate my 3D to my line and it worked fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sprint is undergoing a major network overhaul. If your device connects to 3g fine in other areas than its a sprint issue and nothing you can do except wait for the work to be completed.

have you try doing the service reset? ##SCRTN# (##72786#) that is better then doing the ##3282# when you do the ##72786# that is going to redo the hands-free activation and do the prl update and at the same time it's going to be refreshing the service

That's what they ended up saying when nothing worked. I'm trying to not do that, if possible, because I don't want to get a refurbished phone, as I had a bad experience with the last one I got from them.
have you tried a full ##786# reset? (it will get your phone to factory fresh condition, and erase all data)
I had the same issue, and no amount of profile updates, ##3282# resets or ##72786# resets helped, final suggestion was a factory reset which did work, be sure to Nandroid before trying it
Hopefully you don't have the same problem, I tried factory restarting it four different ways, all kinds of other resets and dialer things and settings... Nothing worked.

Sadly, I think I do.
So, as I was around town, I noticed it does connect to 3G, but only for maybe 10-30 seconds then drops back to 1X. It even has trouble holding a 1X data connection now.
So, my last option is to return it to Sprint. I have it rooted and also have S-OFF. To return it for warranty replacement, I need to remove root (I will flash the RUU, etc.) Do I also have to get S-ON, if so how is that accomplished?
Thank you all for your help.
You will need to relock it. There is a fastboot command for it somewhere.

Before you do all this... how is development in your area? Is Network Vision currently being implemented? I ask this because I am having similar issues and have for a few weeks. The reason? It was Network Vision being put into place and towers being set up with eHRPD protocol for the lte <-> cdma handoff. After doing a large search on it, it seems any areas that are getting LTE especially, and soon at that (like mine) are having the same problems you're describing. Seemingly because Sprint is locking phones out of connecting to the towers as they continue work with NV and LTE. Have you tried setting the phone to CDMA/EVDO only? This is the only option that works for me until this development is finished.

Before you do all this... how is development in your area? Is Network Vision currently being implemented? I ask this because I am having similar issues and have for a few weeks. The reason? It was Network Vision being put into place and towers being set up with eHRPD protocol for the lte <-> cdma handoff. After doing a large search on it, it seems any areas that are getting LTE especially, and soon at that (like mine) are having the same problems you're describing. Seemingly because Sprint is locking phones out of connecting to the towers as they continue work with NV and LTE. Have you tried setting the phone to CDMA/EVDO only? This is the only option that works for me until this development is finished.

I'm in Phoenix, AZ and as far as I know, there is no NV or LTE going on. I have tried CDMA only, but same problems. I just got my replacement and it's staying on 3G just fine.
im getting this prob i apply lte only or lte/cdma and it goes straight to 1x weird...havent been able to get lte and im in san antonio where lte is live...thinking bout taking this phone back see if they exchange it
For some reason, I can't connect to data anymore in LTE/CDMA mode. I recently went back to visit my folks in the Bay Area and was in a fringe area where LTE was active. I tried putting the phone into LTE mode only to try to maintain the connection, but have since changed back to the default setting.
Now I can only connect to data when I set the data mode to CDMA Mode only. I tried updating profile, PRL, wiping caches, and even restoring an old back up with no luck. Anyone ever have this problem?
The 3G icon is on in LTE/CDMA mode, but I can't open any webpages.
My wife's iPhone 4s connects just fine in the same areas.
they are working on your towers
is not an issue with your phone
I've been driving around all over the bay area today and it still won't connect unless its in CDMA only mode. Doubt its a tower issue. I'm driving back down to LA today so I'll know for sure.
Again, I'm only trying to connect to 3G but want to leave the mobile settings on LTE/CDMA mode since LTE is stating to pop up at home.

That's the biggest bunch of Sprint crap i ever heard. I was talking with Sprint today for over an hour and a half about this bull crap. a couple days ago i got a error 67 code on my HTC EVO (og, i went back to it because of this issue). Yesterday I switched back to my EVO LTE. I still got the error code. They said to wait for an hour for it to get its mobile network. I waited all night and still nothing. this morning. i contacted Sprint. The lady tried for over an hour, resetting everything known to man kind
we did the ##3282# and reset everything. We Changed and reste everything on the phone. activated my old EVO and back to the new EVO and still nothing.
I am sick of Sprint saying this is a tower issue. If by some miracle it is, disable the towers LTE until you are done with everything. I know this isn't effecting everyone but your pissing a lot of people off with this crap. At least just replace the phones that are not working.
anyone know what CDMA HDR stands for?
If you're referring to eHRPD, it stands for Evolved High Rate Packet Data, I believe.

Yep. It is basically the same as 3g, but allows for a smooth transition from 3g to lte as you gain and lose lte signal.
Word is we see this before they upgrade to lte.
I'm having a lot of 3g problems but definitely not tower related.

try doing the ##72786# on your phone pad and put in your MSL (if you don't know your msl call sprint or download msl reader from play store) after you do that press menu than reset... phone will reboot and it will go through the handsfree activation and that will get your data back... let us know if it works...

Tried this at the time and it didn't work. Now that I'm back down south, it works again. Maybe Flex was right about the towers being worked on...

Probably your towers are down...have you try updating your profile via wifi?

I don't think my tower was down. My 3G worked perfectly at the time when my phone was set to CDMA mode only vs LTE/CDMA mode. Likewise, the wife's iPhone 4s worked at the time as well.
Now that I'm no longer in the Bay Area and back down in LA, 3G seems to work normally again on LTE/CDMA mode.

i'm having this same exact issue now. I had to replace my EVO due to a brick .. the replacement doesnt get mobile data when LTE/CDMA is selected ... i have to select CDMA only. My home area doesnt have LTE yet, but parts of Nashville do have unofficial LTE ... not sure that it matters ..
just curious if anyone ever figured out for sure what it is ... if its tower issues i'm not sure why that would affect the LTE/CDMA mode ... also the timing is quite miraculous that a new phone is received and that same day the towers all of a sudden have issues ...
is this something that can be fixed by Sprint on their side or am i truly stuck with just CDMA only mode?
My problem just went away after awhile. Maybe people were right about towers being upgraded...
I had the same problem once. Solved it by flashing (then) latest radios. I did same troubleshooting steps as you, update PRL, profile, etc. Nothing helped. Flashing radios solved the problem.
hrm .. guess i'll go snatch the latest radios to just be sure ...
FYI .. i updated the radios by using captain throwbacks 3.16 firmware update zip ...
fixed the issue. So i guess it was radio related.

Awesome! Thanks for saving me the frustration of bringing it in for service. The only downside is losing all the info.

I take that back. I've been sick lately and havent left the house in days. Just got back out today and sure enough I still have the problem. I'm going to take it to the Sprint store in the next few days and have them scratch their heads over it.
I had the same problem. Our would be fixed for a couple hours then data would drop again. Had to get a replacement from asurion. Update if they get yours figured out

I've dealt with folks on the phone now twice and they are saying it was due to some software update. Which has to be complete garbage ... why would Sprint do this? it makes no sense.
