Is anyone else's totally sucking?? It always says either H, or 3G, but no data goes through. The "upload" arrow will light up, but not the "download" one... I also think it's killing my battery since it's constantly searching for a signal for checking e-mail and stuff? Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem or it's my phone? I'm outside of Chicago....
Same here. Someone I work with has the sgs4g and suffers the same problem.

Same problem down here in dallas tx i only really started noticing this with kb5 modem, i recently switched back to the KA6 modem. The problem is persistent but no where near as bad as it was on KB5
Having same issue here... went to Tmobile and they told me this is not a common problem. But the forums are littered with people having the same problem... found 1 rom that kinda manages it well. Axora

hmmm weird. I didn't really have a problem until a few days ago, but I'm glad to know it's not just me
I think I figured out when the data drops. The phone will lag to the point of inoperability, then the phone for some reason has trouble reconnecting to the tower. the only thing I have found to fix this is a factory data reset. I have been lucky enough to reboot in airplane mode sometimes which helped once or twice. Or to reload a rom. I just dont know how to fix it? I had my phone warranty replaced due to this issue and it still remains on new phone. I am somwhat pissed myself

Happens to me randomly specially when searching in Map app. Phone starts lagging and I have to reboot. After reboot it shows No entry like sign in status bar. Nothing works, I tried rebooting, reinstalling same rom, new rom, new modem. What works is take out battery and reinsert it. Thought I got a bad phone, but now it seems others have this issue too?
Im just south of chicago and I usually have to download my apps 2 or 3 times to actually get them installed. I noticed that after you choose to download and it spits you back out in to the menu. Reclick the app you just installed if there isno statusbar you are not trully downloading it.

I've been having problems with keeping gchat logged in. Constantly drops out and says either I'm not online or the other person is not online. My wife has the same problem with her vibrant.
In addition my GPS has been extra sucky lately, went from being able to lock 8 inside to usually not locking at all. Nothing I've tried has fixed it, but then randomly it'll work just fine. I can't reliably reproduce the problem.

This is the second vibrant that I have had this problem on, So I want to say software, unless I got 2 phones with the same problem. The EDT gps fix makes my gps lovely when I have a data connection. I know that heathen has also made a flashable data fix which would at least stop from having to do a data reset, and reinstalling all apps. Unfortunately the data fix is rom specific and not a universal deal. Anybody with more experience know why many vibrants have this intermittent problem???
Since I unrooted I have had no data drops, but cannot fully unlock the potential of the device, has anyone heard if a way to maintain stable data thru root?
Thanks

I kinda think I got the same thing goin on here. The only time I really notice it is in the market and usually only when doing updates to apps. Can't really say that DLing new apps has an issue tho.
I highly recommend CM7 .....I try every new rom and always come back to it. Just a thought haha

Just tried it (cm7) and data dropped in 24 hrs. I give up, I'm going to switch to a verizon based phone. Ive never had a problem rooting my g1 or mytouch with data. If anyone knows a fix I would be very interested in understanding the problem.
Data worked for a month straight un-rooted !!!!
Thanks
Did you try out different modems at all?
So about five minutes ago I was playing a game called Triple Town and all of the sudden my screen freaked out and was super distorted and it wasn't hardly usable. So I turned the screen off and back on and nothing happened. Then I restarted my phone and it fixed it. But it scared me because I just got my phone back from getting repaired. Has this happened to anyone else?

Nope. Do you ever turn your phone off? If not, you need to turn it off and it will fix half the issues you ever get.

^is always a good idea, you could take a step or 2 further..
1. pull battery and re-seat SIM and MicroSD
2. if rooted you could clear cache and davlik cache
If my phone ever acts up, I just remove the battery for a minute. I restart the phone 2 - 3 times a day to clear up the RAM. Never had an issue.

Really? Do you restart that often out of habit or do you notice a difference? I know old WinMo phones needed to be restarted on a regular basis to clear up memory that wouldn't get released, but I didn't think that was an issue on Android. BTW, this is my 1st Android phone so I am genuinely curious.

It is both. I used to have a Nokia phone and I used to restart it 1 - 2 a day. I used to work at T-Mobile and many issues I get from customers were solved just by pulling the battery out or restarting the phone. The phone is like a computer. It needs to clear up the memory. It makes a noticeable difference.
I try to remember to reboot the phone every few days. I think it helps keep things running smoothly.
If I have a problem I will turn off, pull battery, and pull SIM. So far with this phone I only did that once when it spontaneously rebooted. Hasn't happened since.

Was about to add this here, but a search led me to your OP and link to my post on MikMik. Just happy people are getting the info.
So here is a copy of my post.
What is safe mode and how do I use it?
Safe mode is a method that allows the device to run with only essential applications. This is beneficial for troubleshooting 3rd party applications.
If and when you have strange problems with your phone, I would try this before a factory reset or even re-flashing a rom. If your problem goes away in safe mode, you know it is some software that safe mode disabled thats the problem.
From what I read, it has always been a part of the Android OS. But not all devices get there the same way, there is no standard other than it is always hardware buttons.
I learned about it from a HTC Tech, but he didn’t know how to enable it on this device. He told me to hold the power & menu buttons while booting. As you know we don’t have a menu button.
How to Enable on the EVO 4g LTE?
Boot or Reboot your phone.
When the “HTC quietly brilliant” splash screen comes up, press and hold volume down, until you get a long vibrate response. Then you can release the volume button.
Now when your phone is booted, you will see the words “safe mode” in the bottom left corner of your screen.
How to Disable on the EVO 4g LTE?
Just reboot. That’s all.
Something you should know before you try out Safe Mode.
Your widgets, mostly 3rd party widgets will be missing from your screen, or broke. Just replace them on your screen and all will be fine.
Hope this helps someone, someday, someway!
Hahaha
Thanks for posting this. I got into safe mode once on accident and saw it on my screen and had no idea what the hell it meant, so I was able to reboot to remove it.

I have a question HTC was trying to help me get to safe mode and he had me hold down the down volume button and I got to the boot screen. But my phone is doing this wierd thing where it is constantly rebooting over and over again. I let the battery drain and now I am charging it to full but even in the boot screen and I hit reboot or fast reboot it doesn't take me to my home screen it keeps rebooting over and over. So I am guessing I can't get to safe mode if it doesn't boot to the home screen. Cause HTC said in safe mode he could see what app or what is causing the hang up to make my phone reboot and reboot over and over. I really don't want to do a hard reset but am guessing I'll have to. But I have already activated and used Google Wallet and read you have to clear it out before doing a hard reset or it will brick your phone. HTC said that's not true. I don't know what to do.

i just tried it!! works fine
What to go into safemode. HTC was gonna have me do it and he couldn't see in the manual how to do it but my phone is stuck it won't go to my home screen so I can't get to safemode. My phone keeps rebooting without going to my home screen I am stuck on the HTC screen to the Sprint screen to the HTC Beats audio screen and it's in a loop doing the same 3 things over and over.. I'm afraid to hard reset because people say it can brick your phone something to do with Google Wallet. HTC said that's not true I don't know. Sprint said take it to the store tomorrow but if I have to hard reset I would rather just do it myself why bother with the store.

No I am not Rooted. All of a sudden I saw my phone was rebooting this am and it just goes back and forth from the HTC white screen to the Sprint Logo screen to the white HTC beats Audio Screen over and over it reboots to the same 3 screens. Won't go to my home screen so I am stuck with no phone until I do a hard reset. But I don't know if it will fry my google wallet people are saying it does something to the secure element and makes it unusable. I don't know. My phone is turned off until tomorrow when I can call HTC back or take it to the store.

Rose, take this how you want. I had set up GW and then forgot and wiped my phone before flashing a new rom. I did this 3 times and it's still fine. Supposedly the important wallet stuff is stored in the cloud now since one of the updates.
Its up to you if you want to reset. The sprint tech will probably yell you that is your only choice. After one of our prl updates I lost data connection and the rep on the phone was ready to send me a refurbished one even before I reset Tue phone.
I ended up fixing it myself by updating prl and profile while on wifi.
Didn't you have another problem with your phone before? I could be wrong but I thought you mentioned it in a thread over at AF.
Hope this helps,
Naters
Oh I personally wouldn't worry about the wallet issue. If the phone ends up with hardware problems you'd end up with it replaced anyways.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Rose, I experienced the exact same problem as you about a week ago. My phone randomly just went into a crazy cycle of rebooting, never making it past the screen with HTC and the Beats logo. I eventually had to just hard reset it... and since then it's been working fine. I had also activated Google Wallet prior to hard resetting and had the same concerns as you, but after hard resetting, my Google Wallet still works perfectly fine. I don't think you need to worry about that. I know that doing a hard reset sucks because it takes a while to restore everything back to how you had it, but having a working phone is much better than having one that constantly reboots. I hope this helped!
Thanks but what I should I do now? I did a Hard Reset this am. I read an article that stuff was fixed with the wallet thing so I hard reset. And I did update Profile and PRL and went to see if there were any other updates. I got back Amazon app store and put on about 5 or 10 of my free apps back on. Went to play store and it showed all apps and I installed several. Mostly games like words with friends Song Pop Scramble with Friends Haning and Dice With Buddies. I use Handcent and Yahoo messenger which kept not responding after an update over and over before my phone went into reboot mode. I have normal apps like trapster beat the traffic some other games Dolphin Browser TV Show Favs Big Battery thing and car home ultra. I have Foursquare auto redial tiny call confirm.
Got to work went to turn on wifi and it went back to being disconnected and then I couldn't touch the screen and it froze and I just put the phone back in my pocket and ten minutes later I pulled it out and there was a black screen and when I turned it on the boot thing happened over and over again. Here i got back most of my apps configured couple emails. So now it's doing it again Sprint said go to store let them do a diagnostics. She said you can hard reset it back again and if they find no problem put your apps back on and try to recreate it. I don't have time to stand in a Sprint store installing apps. HTC said do a Hard Reset don't ad any apps for a day or two and see if it happens again if not then an app is causing it to hang. But how do I find out which one? And they wanted me to go into safe mode but I couldn't since it won't go to the home screen. So now I am back at a Hard Reset just got home from work and am scared to add anything but I want too. I need Handcent and want a couple others. HTC asked if I had downloaded any task killers or apps like that and I said no. I had Android Assistant before but hadn't put it back on.. HTC said if it comes back in the next couple days and I haven't added any apps call them back. Do you think an app is causing it to hang or that it's hardware. Should I still let Sprint do a diagnostics on it tomorrow or just leave it alone for now for a couple days like HTC said?
I had major problems with my Touch Pro 2 and sense and had to reset it several times. This phone the only problem I had was text not sending right away but it got fixed network problems and then after this past update my handcent would open to a black screen and it would take a minute before it would open and my sense sometimes would restart on occasion but it stopped after I took speak to it assistant widget away. But this last update made it a little sluggish.

Thanks I just replied to someone else then saw your reply you can read what I wrote about hard resetting adding most of my apps and then it started doing it again. So now I hard reset again and haven't added anything. I did the updates it said I had and for now that is all I am doing. It sucks but your right I would rather have a working phone. So is Titanium the good backup app and can you use it now without being rooted?

Sorry I know that was a long post. I took my phone to Sprint today after doing a 2nd reset last night. They did run a diagnostics and it didn't pass. They then said they had to reset it themselves once more and run one more diagnostics and it failed again. So they are ordering me another phone and it should be in the store tomorrow or the next day. But the warehouse is here in my city where I live and it was ordered around 3 so I hope it's tomorrow. It's going to be a refurb though so I hope it ends up being good. I still kind of thought it was an app causing it to hang since it did the same thing after my reset and I added several apps back. But anyway that's what happened to me. So now I need to order another screen protector.

If Sprint told me it failed the Diagnostics test twice that means it's hardware right? Cause since it did it twice again after reinstalling several apps I was starting to think an app was causing it to hang. But I am guessing I can install most of the apps I had before.

Yes. If it failed after a factory reset, it was hardware related.

Just got back from Sprint. He said they sent me a brand new phone. He claims they must not of had any refurbs cause the phone is pretty new I don't know how to tell. It had a cover over the screen and looked new to me. But anyway yes I hard reset and it failed and then he hard reset it again and got some error message or something he said. So he doesn't think it was app related and i hope not. Cause now it's time to reconfigure my phone.

What's up Xda? I have a question the top of my EVOLTE's screen is messing up. Just randomly right now. What I mean by messing up is that my notification bar becomes non responsive. At times it'll even slightly drop down maybe a quarter of the way down the screen without me touching it at all. Keep in mind it's just randomly right now not while I'm running certain apps or anything just random.
I am running cm10 stable and I did the pointer location grid and it showed me that no response was being read in that area.
Now keep in mind evolte is in prestine condition. No water damage or drops at all this just started out of nowhere. Anyone else having issues? If so did you do anything to solve it?
I'm gonna take it to sprint tomorrow, but gotta restore it back to factory first. I was just hoping there was another way. My sprint store reps and techs don't seem to know anything. They just give u a new one.
I also ran into this problem with my old evo 4g, but there was rain involved with that.

I don't recommended taking it to the sprint store running cm10 I would flash a stock ROM first. Idk about yours, but back in the day I took my og evo tho the sprint store and they just handed it back to me because my boot animation was different.
As far as my screen issue goes I think it had something to do with an app I had. I had the GBA emulator and whenever it was running it kept the icon on the notification bar. Once I uninstalled it I haven't had the problem since. Still its only been about 19hrs, but still nothing. Hopefully it doesn't happen anymore because sprint in my area sucks.

Definitely sounds like a bad digitizer
This just started happening to me a couple of days ago! I'm running MeanROM, i have the screen randomly hitting buttons or not responding but if I turn the screen off/on it responds properly for a few minutes or so before screwing up again. I'm going to try doing a fresh install now.
Edit:
So, I did a fresh install of Stock with Goodies and installed updated Liberty kernel and haven't had any issues for the past 24 hours.
The same thing happened with my OG evo. Dealt with it for over a year until o got this phone. I hope it doesn't do the same thing.

So this morning when I took my phone off the charger, it shut off immediately. Pulled batter and put it back in multiple times, and it still wouldnt boot. Battery was fine cause it worked in another Note 2. I wiped the contacts that connect to the battery, and then it powered on. Thought it was very strange since it was working just fine the night before. Upon power up, I couldnt make or receive phone calls, couldnt make or receive texts. Really have no idea whats happening!! I've tried flashing several different roms and all react the same. The signal just bounces around and sometimes even goes out (circle with line through it). My IMEI and number still show up just fine in "About Phone".
I'm very confused, because this seems to have happened randomly! I didnt do anything but charge it overnight. I've tried flashing the modem that scott has posted. Any ideas? Should I just try and ODIN back to stock?

By the way I went ahead and reported this to get it moved to right section. So Kenny glass will be along shortly with his cool new avatar to move it.

No problem. Wasn't really sure, now I know. I'm in the process of restoring to stock. Hopefully it works!
Well turns out it may have been a hardware problem! Restored to stock, and I still had the same problem. No 3G, couldnt call or text. But I did have a 4G signal that worked, plus I could receive texts. So strange! Took it to Verizon and between the store rep and tech support, they couldnt figure it out. So they're sending me another tomorrow. In case anyone was curious...
Well, just an update to my saga, in case anyone cares!! My second replacement came this morning. Upon putting my battery and sim card in, it booted up. Was going through the setup process when i just shut off. Took me about 10 min or so to get it to power on again. When it finally booted up, I had the same problem I had originally, 3G and talk/text doesnt work. Also had the faint smell of electronics burning up. My first though was my battery is frying the radios. But why wouldnt it do the same in my original phone that had the proximity sensor problem?!!
I'm ready to move on from the Note 2, Ive had nothing by problems with Samsung hardware being faulty for me.
