One could be just your location other is a hardware issues my first evo 3d had a bad signal and 3g. Sprint said it was a hardware issue. Which it was I had done a bunch of tests to make sure. The new one hauled ass on the net.
fixed it by using ##3282 and setting cdma mode to automatic

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but how is the 4g compared to the evo? Is it the same hardware in the phone?

I'm getting a much stronger and consistent 4G signal. After I walked out of Radio Shack, I held up both my old EVO and the new 3D and the 3D had a full strength while the old one had 1 bar.

Same here. much stronger. 3x the speeds that I was getting with the EVO 4g. Since I doubt the towers changed overnight, all i can say is that radio design improved significantly. I am getting 2x on my wifi as well. In contrast, I am getting two to three times as many signal interruptions (reconnects).
Thanks 4 the response! Now thats another reason to get evo 3d. Anyone else wanna have a response?

What about the battery life
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
This thing has 4G? Huh.. I was too busy with all the other features. The simple fact that Sense 3.0 is fast as fark and the phone doesn't has been keeping me busy.
What happened to the 3vo being able to talk and surf at the same time as many reports had stated prior to the release of the 3vo? Is this something to be added later or a never gonna happen type of thing?

It works just fine, but only if your data connection is either via wifi or 4G.
Yes I know that same as the EVO but i meant over 3g not 4g or WiFi

Sprint has to enable svdo on their network. The 3d and the EVO shift have the chip set. They are just not activated.

I hope they it asap... It would be very handy and good marketing against verizon too.

would be better marketing against at&t really, since they are the only one with bragging rights at the moment to be able to do this, not even verizon can at the moment.
Actually the Verizon Thunderbolt can do it currently. Its been something that has been making me think about jumping ship, though at those prices, I should buy a flip phone for when my Evo is online...
The thunderbolt can only do it on LTE and the phone has no toggle to turn LTE off unless its rooted

No the Verizon TB can do it over cdma without being in LTE area. Not all VZ areas support it yet but the phone deff can do it.

Don't think so. the way sprint is doing their voice+data will require a certain chipset on the phones that supports SVDO, which last I checked is NOT in the EVO3D nor the shift. The MDM9600 is the only one ive seen and confirmed to have this built in.
Also a lil note for people that are interested This post lays out some things for the future in sprint and are pretty reliable sources for those that do not know them.

Well people, after reading this thread I just had to put in my 2 cents about it. I live in a 3G area of upstate New York with NO 4G around me and can talk and surf on my Thunderbolt. That was the only reason I dropped the call dropping iPhone with at&t and swithed. I drive a truck "18 wheeler" and everywhere I have gone in the New England area that doesn't have 4G I have been able to do this.

No he's most definitely wrong. The Thunderbolt can do simultaneous voice and data on 3g in svdo enabled areas.
Talk and Surf on EVO and EVO 3D
The solution is not at all elegant and drain the battery pretty quickly.
What else is new here?
In any event, be it in 3G or 4G (irrelevant for 4G I guess):
1) activate the built-in hotspot (password protect it to prevent others taking
advantage of FREE Wifi draining your battery faster than Concord)
2) Activate the phone Wifi and connect to the newly created Wifi in Step 1
At this point, you should be able to talk and surf; an added bonus (already available thru the hotspot feature), is you're able to connect other devices to the Hotspot connection created in Step 1.
The new problem you will have now is to find yourself a lasting battery.
Is anyone having problems with roaming lately? My phone keeps bugging out and saying I'm roaming one second then saying i have full bars the next. Anyone have any idea what may be happening?

Awesome response, very informative.
I had the evo 4g before the 3d and find that I do roam more with the 3d, but never have an issue where it would just switch back and forth like that.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I thought it may have had something to do with that update that was pushed out. I manually updated my prl and profile and it said an update was applied but no change. Rebooted a few times and it calmed down and when back to normal. Hopefully a temporary thing. I have great signal where I live so I bummed me out to see that I was roaming all of a sudden.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I have had the same issue with the 3D as well . I can be in a Sprint coverage zone and it will jump to roaming for no reason at all . I can honestly say my EVO 4G never did this . Dont get me wrong I like the 3D but signal issues and so forth Im missing my 4G more and more lol .
Hello 3d community I was talking width my buddy earlier who has a evo and he was telling me he rarely gets wimax where he's at in Costa Mesa so I was curious if this is a common issue with 3d users like it is with my phone the Galaxy s2 or what could be causing it. Any help would be appreciated

I'm confused. Your title says, "Do sprint's eco 3d's have any issues with pics?", but your question has nothing to do with pictures. So, I'll answer both questions that I think you are asking. The camera does take great pics, but the lens is a little slow (or at least the app makes it that way). So, if your subject moves, it smears the picture. As for WiMax, you either get it or you don't depending on the roll out. So, Wimax not being widespread is a common problem since Sprint is moving to LTE.
Yeah i am sorry I didn't look at the title and my phone auto corrected ics to pics my apologies. And I understand they are slowly fazing wimax out for LTE but I wasn't sure if the 3d's ics had issues like the SGS2 does.

There are times where I have a weak signal and slow 3g speeds, but get an OK Wimax connection with fast internet. I haven't had any issues with ICS and Wimax that weren't there when I was on GB.
Its not just the 3D, it's Sprint.

I have encountered a rather odd issue and am at a loss.
My download rate is atrocious (approx. 250–300 kbits) but my upload speed is about 5 mbits. I have isolated it to my EVO which I just activated and started using on my Wifi. Obviously the bandwidth is there based on the upload but no matter what I try; resetting the modem and router, isn't working.
Stock evo lte on most recent firmware.
Any help you have to offer is greatly appreciated.

Have you checked your download speed with another device, just to make sure it's your phone and not something else, like the router/network?

try that. It might be trying to bounce between 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz
Still crap speeds. Ugh. May be my router and phone just aren't meant to be friends.

Changed my router from auto to G only.. Finally getting the 15Mbits per second I'm paying for.
It would appear to be a software issue, hopefully one of the many that is fixed if we ever get JB.
Thanks to all those who provided feedback on this matter
