So sick and tired of this...spent 6 months fighting with Verizon about data outages daily with the Charge, not to mention numerous replacement devices and trying every modem that came out. Now the Rezound is pulling the same crap. I've been with VZW for over ten years and get treated like an idiot not only in their stores but on the phone. No data whatsoever today and even replaced the SIM...AGAIN. What gives?!?!

A lot of people having the same problem today. Happens every few days I guess as they tweak 4g
I tried to tell people for months in the Charge forum that it was the network doing that, not the phone but NOBODY wanted to believe it.
Now, my Wife is using my old Charge and it is no better or worse than my Rezound as far as losing data periodically.

my 3g won't come on half the time, other times it's just 1x, other times its just bars...and i sold a reszound today that wouldn't pick up 3g, and i just had a guy with ab ionic come in and tell me 3g was turning on and off by itself all day and he can't get data.

OK just called up to confirm, they said people in my area are seeing 4g outages and problems, so yeah it's a problem. interesting!
Oops, my particular problem was that I had the back off, so no antenna heh. Though I'm only getting 3G, so I guess 4G is problematic in this area...
yup, seems to be a common thing these days

Just bought my Rezound a few hrs ago. They told me that 4g was down, and wouldn't be up fully again until around 11 or so tonight. Therefor, I also cannot activate it until then. She also tried to talk me out of buying it 3 times. What gives there?

she's clearly a typical salesperson who probably tries to push the razr because she probably gets the spiff on it (thats if its a corp store.) what was she telling you to get??
either way, mine activated fine, and it wen through, but 3g just didn't come on..i didn't know there was an outage though until another customer came in telling me it was messing up on his bionic
I didn't give her a chance to push another phone. Instead, I made her tell me why "more than half" were being returned. She stated constant reboot, bootlooping and software problems. Said something about a software update coming, but didn't know when it was supposed to come.

What's going on, guys?
I got my MoPho 4 days ago and have been having trouble connecting to 4G. Sprint says there's nothing wrong on their end. Is there any kind of diagnostic I can personally run or is there anything I cam do to fix this because I it to a repair center and they said they could nothing but reprovision it.
Along with that I've been having super slow 3G connection speeds as well. The Sprint store refuses to replace my phone and over the phone isn't any better. Is there anything I can do?
Btw, I live in the middle of a 4G zone, Staten Island, NY.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
3g speeds are horrible right now on Sprint, not sure whats going on. But I know that it is all over the nation. As for the 4g, find a wal mart, you should have full bars and have no connection issues.
If you do I would suggest you try to get a replacement if you are completely stock. Hope to god your not asking this question with an unlocked bootloader. lol I doubt you are considering you said you took it into a repair shop, they would have laughed at you had you tried that I'm sure.
I haven't been able to connect to 4G in a couple days myself. Hope it gets resolved soon.

I've replaced my phone twice! I'm glad I'm not he only one that's having problems..
Another problem I'm having..
Weather widget won't update(everything in enabled) and I'm getting roaming notices every 20 min.
How do we know when LTE is live on the phone? Does the icon show?
Yeah having the same issues as you guys. 3G will just suddendly drop & I'll start roaming for no reason. I'm not doubting that Sprint is working on the towers but it is also something going on with this phone because my wife's E4GT is having none of these issues.
LTE shouldn't have anything to do with our 3g connection should it?
If they are goofing with towers than maybe. I'm just curious how do we know when Lte is live on our phones.
Ever since I tried unlocking the bootloader and installing a recovery my phone will not connect to 3G. It will either have no data connection at all or 1X. I have done so many update profiles and update PRL's and nothing seems to help.
The only way I can get 3G to come back now is if I set the network mode to "CDMA Only" then 3G comes back, but when I first got the phone I had it in "CDMA/LTE" and 3G was fine. I don't know what to do now.
Having the exact same 3G issues as the rest of you. Sprint had me reset the phone provisioning with the MSL code, do a PRL update, and Firmware update and nothing worked. My 3G down speeds avg. 0.24 Mbps and cuts out every now and then. The Rep said she would call me back today to see if the changes helped. The bad thing is we are all patient about not having LTE yet but it is ridiculous that our 3G speeds are the worst in the business now and almost nonexistent. ATT, T-Mobile, and VZ should make a commercial saying who cares if you have unlimited data when you have the slowest data and barely have data.

I'm in chicago over by elston and lawrence, and my speed tests just got me 500kbps down, 60kbps up. This is pathetic 3g coverage, and its with full bars and its almost 11pm at night.
I'm 20 miles west of clevland and speeds here seemed to be a lot better here also.. will check when im downtown tomorrow
I think this has less to do with PRL updates and more to do with NV. I experienced this same thing earlier this week. The increased speeds have gone since then. I also took the new PRL but am getting the speeds I normally get. I am getting increased upload speeds with the new radio, however.

im out of town in vegas at the moment and doesn't matter how many updates you get your gonna get pounded (screwed) when it comes to 3g when on the strip so when im back in lemont (little south west of chicago) ill do some tests. i averaged 1.1mbps at my house and crap everywhere else so hopefully this update fixes everywhere else thats not my house haha
I live in Plainfield and have absolutely horrible 3G. (just started a new 2year about 5 days ago) but to my understanding theyre implementing 4g LTE int othe towers and upgrading the 3g network aswell.

They actually sent me a letter and I'm, again, very unsure if how to proceed. You see, I have had every iteration of the "evo" moniker with sprint. I've always had stellar service inside my house and out into my neighborhood going back to my og EVO on wimax and even further to my mogul... The reason I feel like I got punched in the gut...? I haven't freaking moved! So, to review, 6 years in the same spot with relatively great service -get the 4g lte -2 months later im sent a warning letter explaining basically I better stop roaming or I will be dropped as a customer (of 11 years btw). Best part: (wait for it)...Live in gf has an S3 (sprint) And hasn't roamed and sits on LTE all day... It's times like these I feel like I have to be part of a f*/??g twighlight zone episode. Wish I could help but I don't have a clue what to do about my own similar situation..

yea i think i may go with verizon and get the gs3 along with my wife. Then if they get the note2 i can sell my gs3, sprint gs3, and Evo Lte. To get the note2.:good: plus id only be paying 15 dollars more a mo. but with the faster service and more coverage i think its worth it.
So lemme get this straight. You can buy a subsidized phone. Get kicked off your contract. Then you get to kelp your phone?

Can't tell you how many dropped calls or unable to make calls or how many unable to send messages or the double, triple sometimes 6 or 7 duplicate messages I get when I finally do get service. I know this area is due to get LTE soon but something has to give. And all I get from Sprint is "We aren't seeing any outages in your area" instead of just saying we're working on the towers. Kinda wish they would kick me off. Might be time to change up.

This happened to me for over 3 weeks and I had made several calls to CS but to no avail. I was just about to head into the sprint store and demand an s3 or no ETF when I canceled my contract. After my final call, just before I was headed to my car I noticed that I had 4g lte.
So one week I have LTE at my house, and not at my work, then I get super strong LTE at work and it goes back to 3G at my house. Sometimes I get both, today I don't have LTE at either place. Does anyone know why Sprint can't just leave LTE on and leave the sh** alone???
Verizon is sure looking better and better when my contract is up in December.
Anyone else experiencing this off and on crap?

I can't complain because something is getting done and the tower in Howell was the first one in MI. to get updated, so it won't be long.
