3G stopped working??? - HTC EVO 3D

Rooted user with original rom
Prl was 21081 and no real mods to speak of...all of a sudden my 3G would not sync with exchange and then no regular pushes would work either.
I had to switch to 4g which is really weak in my area but it then started working again.
Went to an area without 4g yesterday and was without email for 4 hours.
That really sucked! Went to the 11115 pro and 3G is working again.
I had to also revert back to the old epst to get that working as well.
I read where others had similar issues but they had either changed roms or did a prl update from 21081 to a newer version.
I did none of those...it just stopped working and this was my fix for now!

I'm pretty sure 11115 is much better than the newer PRL's. Sprint is screwing up with the PRL's instead of making things better. I would stick with that.

I just got off the phone with CS. Same **** happened to me. Now I'm stuck with the damn roaming icon plus 1x

1X
I'm in the same boat. Stuck on 1X as of yesterday evening. Called CS yesterday and they wasn't able to help. They claim my area was fine. I will be giving them another call today when I get off. The 3G on my OG Evo and ny Nexus 4G works fine.
PS I also tried different PRLs even the hybrid PRL still 1X stuck.

anyone else stuck on 1x?

im in NYC and i tried to flash a bamf.1.8 rom and was stuck on 1x after that. i thought it was the rom so i flashed cm7 rc06. again and 1x still. so is this a verizon issue?
Lots of us are going back and forth between 1x & 3g, and i'm in constant 4g area. Verizon must be working

Is your back cover on the phone? - It has the antenna and without it...it will not connect to 4G from my experience.
Then again, I'm in Bay area California and right now I have 1x since 12am. - I'm perplexed with the case because I didn't do anything since I just arrived back from Lake Tahoe about 4hrs ago.
*Possible that it's a Verizon outage issue. - Nice to see this since I just moved away from Sprint to grandfather this LTE unlimited data.. Never had one outage while with Sprint XD
Hope that they get it together!
I noticed it's been on 1X for awhile this evening as well. I attempted a battery and sim pull and let it sit for a bit but it was still on 1X when I put it all back and rebooted a few minutes later. If others in different areas of the country are experiencing the same then it's probably something on Verizon's end.
I think it's Verizon
I think it's Verizon. because I'm in San Diego and normally get 6 bars of 4G and not I'm getting 6 bars of 1X and 3 secs of 3G. I thought I had messed something up when i flashed the MR2.5 Radio then I went back to MR2 and same thing and then you guys have the same problem too. So I know I'm good now lol.
Running Gingeritits
im here in so cali and im getting 1x also and sometimes not even that. for a second i was abuot to curse my gingeriitis. how dare i even think such naughty thoughts. its all verizon. maybe they are getting some 4g towers near me.....ok probably not.
I had this happen to me this morning. I rebooted and my 3g came back. Not sure about 4g since I don't get a strong signal at work.

Jumping from 3g, 4g and 1x this morning in Atlanta, now its all 4g
I agree. Must be working on the network. Some days i get stuck on 1x and then it will go to 3G. I am on 4G right now without any issues. I just flashed GB with the newest radio leak and its smooth so far.
Yeah I was still stuck on it til this morning but I did a reboot and on 4G
Live in upstate NY... for the times that we even had data it was 1X and only 3G for like a second. it was killing me cause I rooted for the first time and I thought I killed my radio.. I could make calls but no data.
I figured by the way it would come and go that they were working. Same thing when EVDO came. They screw around at night all the time and then try to clean up their mess by the AM. You'd have no signal some signal.. and then holy **** moments where you would have like full signal in areas where you never get full signal... When they get to playin they go nuts.
everything gravey here in So Cal

Lost 3g but 4g and 1x work.

How do I fix it? It was working fine a week ago, I'm running eternity, 1x is too slow, i thought it was just displaying wrong icon but it is not. I've updated profile, tried different PRLs even 00001 and still no luck. 4g works great.

I have this issue for a while now just figured out my 3g has not been working for a while. Any answers to this?
I'm am not sure on whether either of you guys are cdma or gsm but it sounds like you guys flashed a outdated prl. you could try flashing a latest prl or perform a prl update to see if that works. Also, another problem could be you have older firmware that isnt playing very nicely with prl's. Upgrading your radios might solve your problems. Again, hardly any imformation on your ends have justified the current attempts at formulating an adequate solution. Usually these methods will cure you of that dreaded 1x signal.
If you're on a stock sense ROM with working epst. Do ##data#, enter your msl, then hit menu and select restore profile. I did this when stuck on 1x. You'll go through a hands on activation and should have 3g back again.

[Q] 3g and 4g gone, only 1x

I havent done anything to my phone lately and besides just having roms on it...so i my 3g and 4g data is now gone and i get 1x signal. The signal alternates from 1x to no signal at all. This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457659 is what i got on my phone right now and i got the radios installed and i still get 1x. At one point 3g showed up, but its really slow. So my question is, how can i fix this network problem?
ps. i have been struggling with this for 2 weeks and ive decided to try and fix it, but no luck
edit: ive taken the battery out and luck either, i also found a thread on how to fix the problem but it didnt help
i too have had this problem for 5 days now. i have been thinking of flashing the phone again to see if it would fix it.
Well i got some signal now, i went ahead and just added another ROM. I get signal every now and then, but i think i would have been better off with just constant 1x signal, instead of having no signal at all then some 3g coverage (really slow for some reason).
I just rooted my girlfriend's Thunderbolt last night and I'm having this same issue.
I had to roll back her latest OTA update and go back to 2.11.605.0 and then run Revolutionary. Since I rolled back her software, though, I've had the 1x signal issue. I assumed that installing the new ROM would fix this (BAMF Forever 1.10).
I've installed BAMF after using Superwipe, and everything runs smoothly. It's a great ROM. However, I can't get anything above 1x signal.
I've done the trick using ##778 and changing the Rev. A setting...no dice (and from what I've read, this is better in areas with no 4G. I live in Brooklyn, so I definitely want the 4G LTE).
I've tried the MR4 radio released just a few days ago, the radio from 2.11.605.9 OTA, and the MR3 radio. Same problem. I guess I'm going to try out the remaining radios I haven't touched, but I honestly don't think that will do anything.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

Ok I take this all back, she tells me her phone now reads 4g lte with full service. Looks like jumping across a few cell towers did the trick.

have you tried using different radios? This solved my issue. I had to go though 3 radios to find the right one, but it worked.

Dropping to 1x?

So if you don't have a custom rom you will never know this but anyone ever see they phone on 1x instead of 3g?
Mine seems to do it randomly. I will have decent signal and be doing something on the net like IM or checking email and it will just drop to 1x and snail mode, after being idle for a few min will go back to 3g.
It doe snot always do this but seems to about once a day and has happened at home and work now so not just the tower.
Just in hopes I don't need to exchange my phone or something
Again only like once a day but I just dont understand it. I am on MeanRom right now and has happened on all versions since I started on 1.5 and doubt is his rom and just that his rom lets me see the 1x now is all.

Yes!
I recently installed that LiquidSmooth ROM and now I find my phone dropping into 1X on a daily basis.
I have to turn Mobile Network off and put it back on for it to go into 3G. Otherwise it remains stuck in 1X.
What gives?
In Cincinnati I seem to see more 1x then 3g last week or so
Yes!
Mine will cycle from 4g to 1x all the time.
I've never talked bad about an HTC product but this phone sucks!
This have been a problem since the day I pulled it out of the box.

The phone doesnt suck. The network sucks. Welcome to sprint. The networks undergoing huge changes to it.

This is not caused by the network, this is a phone or firmware issue.
I have my Evo 3d and it does not do this in same areas.
I agree the network is slow which they are working on but this 1x is the phone doing something.
I wonder if this is a result of the recent FW upgrade or not, though guess not being a previous user said from day one his did this (which not sure how he would know that for sure as people didn't know it always said 3g right away to know to modify the rom)
My rooted OG Evo used to do the same thing in the Tampa Bay area. I haven't rooted my LTE yet, but I would assume it will do it too once I root.
Ya this happens to be and the best way I can fix the problem for me is to turn airplane mode on and then turn it off and it will go back to 3g or LTE
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I'm having the same issue. Airplane mode fixes it until I find another weak signal area and it returns to 1x. It will remain in 1x again until I cycle airplane mode again--even in strong signal 55dBm fast data areas.

[Q] EVO 4G LTE only connecting to 1X?

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

It you can't get 3g any where you may need to replace the phone. That's what happened to me... And I couldn't fix it no matter what I did.

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.
