Just sitting here at work, and I noticed my battery was unusually low for my usage today... when I noticed that my 3G icon was missing. I thought that was weird, because less than an hour ago, I had it for sure. I was getting email updates for work on a regular basis.
When I checked my quick settings, my mobile network just kept saying "Turning On," and would sometimes flash between that and 'ON' but never actually brought up a 3G, (or any data icon for that matter.) Texts are still getting through, but are about 2-3 minutes behind Google Voice popups on my laptop.
Has anyone else seen this before? I have rebooted, and tried Airplane mode, and disabling/renabling all the radios individually, and nothing has worked... Guess I should yank the battery now. Really bizarre. I usually get pretty good 3G service over here.
If it continues, exchange it.

Mine did the exact same thing this afternoon in Lubbock Tx. I rebooted, turned off and on and data always showed turning on but never connected. For some reason I ended up in the Sprint Zone and it then connected. It went into spring zone as I tried to connect to *2.
Don't have a good explanation of why it started working but try going to the spring zone and check data on.
The same exact thing happened to me too on my 3d today.

Did you do the "speedup 3D" trick that was posted where you removed the proxies after typing in your MSL password? If so, undo it, because that's your problem.
I haven't messed with any settings. I pondered it, but I haven't received my MSL code yet.
I did just find out that my coworker lost his 3G on his Epic. I think this is a Sprint issue, and not any of the devices... Scary though.
Austin, TX here.
im experiencing the same issue right now here in north austin, tx. im getting basic phone services but no network (market/FB/web/etc.)
and no I did not use the speed up internet fix.

well seeing how there are 3 texas people here experiencing this issue it might just be issue with sprint
Maybe they are upgrading the equipment of the "node".
I will be calling sprint on break in 10 minutes to find out
Well I just came back from BestBuy and picked up the 3D here in Michigan. Everyone in mobile just about had Sprint and no one could connect to 3g. My Evo 4g had a very limited connection. As soon as I got the 3D, it couldn't update the weather. So it is definitely something going on with Sprint right now and not your phone.
Just came back for me... Ben White / I-35 area. That was weird.
Are you sure your power saver settings aren't disabling your data connection due to your phone being below the % you set it at?
I don't think it's a 3d problem. I've had trouble connecting to 3g here and there with my og evo about 2 weeks before the 3d came out. I seriously think sprint has some serious network problems.
Man what is going on with Sprint? It's been happening a bit today as well.
I installed golflogix and it gave me an error message and forced closed the program and also put the 3d into airport mode.
However, golflogix will work on 4g.
There seems to be some problems with the sprint network or the 3d.
I had this same issue over the weekend. Rebooting the phone never worked so I did a factory reset and havent had the problem since. but it does make me a little apprehensive.
Perhaps the network is experiencing outages as they roll out an upgrade to their data network to proactively detect unauthorized tethering activity so that when HTC imminently unlocks the Evo 3D, they can charge backdoor tetherers appropriately.

Thought this was funny. Waiting for a break from work to call Sprint, while surfing xda...
I've been intermittently getting this error. Something about data not being able to connect.
Has anybody else gotten this error and does anyone know how to fix it? I'm completely stock, no root.
Same here! I can't figure out why it's doing this as well.
Yeah I've gotten it too. Flashing different radios didn't seem to help- mine is S-off and rooted. My sister works for Sprint she isn't the phone nerd like me but lol nothing I seem to do can fix it. Will update on how she fixes it if she does lol.
You can still make phone calls and everything else, just no data.
Try making a call, if it doesn't go through you will be connected to someone in tech support who will refresh you connection to the network. They implemented a security feature that will give ya that when you aren't being allowed onto the network.

Yep. Exactly what this guy said. Tell the guy the error you got and he'll fix it up right away.
I started getting this same error this morning, right after I flashed Synergy nightly 330. Not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but that's when it started. It's now doing it on every rom. I can connect to 4g just fine. It's only 3g that gives me that error. I've updated PRL and Profile but that didn't fix it. Not sure what I'll try next.
EDIT: Well, right after I submitted this message a second ago, I looked at my phone and 3G was connected and the error stopped. It lasted for a few hours then resolved itself. Strange.
Are you able to post the steps?
I am getting the same error and can't even call *2
Thanks
Apparently there is a national outage, that's why we are getting the 128 code.
I've been getting it all day too. I can make calls though, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I just keep getting the error message pop up.
I was getting it, too. I went on chat with Sprint and they reset me again. Had to take my battery out for 2 minutes and then reboot my phone twice. It's all fixed now.
I think there were network issues on the 20th as it happened to me as well. However, I just left it alone suspecting the network, and about 20 min later, it fixed itself.
This isn't 3d related guys, my evo 4G is doing it as well. It started after that small earthquake over here. Not sure if that's why but I was fine before 2pm today.

Maybe it was due to the earthquake today. There was an announcement from Sprint saying the sprint towers were overloaded.

That was because too many people were trying to call, but I don't see how calling people could affect the data.
my phone just started doing this recently while on 4G. i can make calls, send texts, browse internet, etc. only thing i can't do on 4G is play Scrabble. it tells me no network detected. today i was using Google Nav in Orange County by Anaheim, CA on the 5fwy and i saw the error pop up a few times. i just tapped on the dismiss button and continued on my way. just curious on the error as its starting to annoy me. i called sprint a couple days ago and they were clueless as to why it popped up. they checked the towers by my house and said they were fine and operational. but yet i know there is something wrong here. especially when i can't play Scrabble on 4G...LOL . i've also reset my data profile using my MSL# and updated data profile and PRL... anywho has anyone had this issue recently and has had this corrected??? BTW: I'm rooted running stock RUU 2.3.4 on latest radio and prl...

Not being able to play Scrabble while on 4G has been an issue with the Scrabble app for sometime. I reported it twice to the company but never got a response. This is totally unrealted to the errors others are reporting in this thread. Scrabble just needs to fix their app.
Did anyone get Sprint to fix their phone. I called them but they were not able to fix it over the phone.
Ok wtf!? last night im was chilling playin some black ops and all the sudden my 4g icon was gone when i had check my phone after a text. its been a day now and i still have absolutely no data connection. i called verizon and they said theres no outage in my area (metro detroit). ive tried flashing plenty of radios since and still no data. im starting to get a wee bit butt hurt because i needs my data son! could i have possibly killed the antenna some how? anyone else ever experience this?
Put it in airplane mode. Tben out. Sometimes that helps, try a battery pull? All else fails bring it in and replaced

I've had periods where my Tbolt didn't want to connect to LTE or EVDO for a long time. It generally fixed itself after enough time. Usually way less than a day though. I'm close enough I could probably take a look at it. See if it's your phone or if mine does the same thing.

where abouts are you located? im in roseville. ive been all around today for work (clinton twp, detroit, harper woods and st clair shores) and no connection in either of them areas.
could it be that ive been flashing a stupid amount of roms/radios lately? im SERIOUSLY getting butt hurt because my gal keeps sending me what she calls "naughty pics" and im not able to download them!
thanks for the quick response from the boths of yous.
I'm in St. Louis, lost 4g this afternoon. Only 1x now. Could be Verizon, and nothing at all on your end. This is the first time I haven't had 4g since I got my bolt in May.
If its not Verizon, you could pull your sim for about 10 min, then pop it back in and power up the phone.

I'm down in Toledo at the moment. Things are working fine here. Only problem was the outage last night for a couple hours. Changed ROMs and radios since then, too, with no issue.

It's been widespread since Tuesday night.

im mean NO DATA! nothing at all. no 1x,3g or 4g
weather widget is from when i restored the rom, it wont update
edit. did a sim pull for 10 mins and vuala 1x pops up then changes to 3g. about 10 seconds later BOOM! nothing... im gonna try a sim pull for like an hour and see what happens with that. shouldnt be any difference but its worth a shot.
This could be many things, most likely you'll need a new SIM, youll need to unroot and restore stock, go into VZW, they'll give you a new one.
delivered via Zeus' finger
I'm in the same boat! Randomly lost all data a day or 2 ago. Tried everything soo far. Assumed my sim card is dead But people say it's a network problem. I get 3g in Rev.A mode. But nothing in normal mode. I'm pissed. Willing to try a new sim card but not unrooting my phone just for a sim. What would happen if you brought a rooted phone into Verizon. I just want a sim. Would they deny you service? Or put a note on your account stating your phone has been rooted and to void your warranties?
Last time I went to the store I knew more about the phone than all three reps combined. I doubt they would even know its rooted.
Put my phone in LTE mode and got 4g back finally.

Yeah, I know. But my phone doesn't look stock one bit. Custom splash, custom boot animation, sense 3.0, gingerbread 2.3.4, custom lock ring, glowing data icons, etc.... Etc..

If you were returning it, yeah, then I'd go back to stock. But, for a sim swap, you can power it off, and pull the sim for them, they won't even notice it when it boots. Unless of course your boot sound is F*** Verizon or something

im convinced its my phone. went into verizon today and the reps tbolt was working fine both 3g and 4g. we did a sim swap and still nothing although, i did get like 2 mins of 4g love about 3 hours after the sim swap but then right back to nothing after it downloaded some pics from texts.
does this have anything to do with it?
i need some help here
spent an hour on the phone with Verizon and they said the netowrk in my area was fine. After all was done and said they are shipping me a new sim. Today when I woke up my phone had a data connection. I haven't shut it off or anything since the tech call.

So over the last 4 days I have been having random reboots. at least once a day, sometimes 2 or more.
I've tried over and over to reproduce them but I can not trigger it.
Like just now, I have been using the phone off and on while at the office. Just checked email a couple times nothing major. Phone is just sitting on my desk next to me not plugged in, I had not done anything with it for over 10 min and I see a flicker out of the corner of my eye, look over and there is the At&t boot animation. (at least this phone reboots fast - inspire took forever)
It happened at home too when just sitting there not being used, jut being charged.
Anyone else have anything similar?
Im using stock rom, Rooted and unlocked, and I removed most of the at&t bloat. thats is, no custom rom or anything like that.. Yet...
If you haven't done anything to your phone, I'd say you have a defective device.
Might want to look into exchanging it.
What exactly have you removed?
I have been having the same issue. I've had the phone for about a month now and early on it would reboot once or twice a week. Lately, it's increased to one or twice a day. I'm rooted, but still locked bootloader. I haven't removed any apps, but a few are disabled or frozen. It's probably not related, but I notice that apps are updated when the phone boots back up.

My Wifi acts up sometimes too, saying and showing im connected but cant surf or get emails. I keep data off, sometimes turning data on and back off usually kicks it into shape. But it did reboot once while I was turning wifi off and back on.
I've only had it since the 29th... I got it at Costco so I have 90 days to swap if it is something I can't figure out.
Hey guys, Punk9 again.
I live in the UCF area (Orlando FL) and I have LTE signal here. I have around 2-3 bars of service most of the time as well.
Lately I have been getting texts late, and not even receiving phone calls. For example, my gf sent me 6 texts within about an hour, I got all six at once, each with the time stamp of the time she sent them, but I got them all at the same time. She also called twice and nothing rang on my end, but it rang for 30 seconds and went to my voice mail on her end.
Is this a known issue or? I'm running ViperROM for Sprint one max. It was happening when I was stock as well (which is why i didn't post in the ROM thread)
Any ideas?
-Andrew.
yeah, call sprint and tell them about your signal issue..
Did yoi flash with cwm or twrp? I havr heard there are issues with signal when flashing with cwm.

they've actually been very good lately, in the Chicago land area, about responding the these kinds of issues..We have the new Spark network here, and its been really good so far, but there are some spots that need to be tweaked. When you call them and report it, they appear to spend time to send a detailed report out to their field network folks, and, so far, the 3 times that I reported areas with dead zones, when i returned, the problem appeared to be fixed.
hope it works that way for you..
I'm at work in Maspeth Queens New York and I have the Spark 4G LTE with 1 Bar most of the time which eats up my battery. Then the rest of the time, My phone has anywhere from 4 to 6 Bars on 3G.
At My House I have No 4G Anything! And sometimes, a Crappy 3G signal. I have a Sprint Airaive because of that. And the Bad thing that SUCKS, is that I'm less than 2.Miles from the Tower with a Clear Line of Sight and I Roam about half of the time if I unplug the Airaive.

This sounds like a common CSFB issue. All new triband phones, or Spark devices use a new technology called Circuit Switch Fall Back, which allows the phone to use less battery because it has one radio for everything. When the device connects to LTE, it cuts off connection the 3G network, and essentially loses the ability to send/receive texts/calls. CSFB is the answer to this, however, it is not wholly deployed. CSFB tells the phone via LTE to switch back to 3G to receive phone calls and texts, as well as to send them. Since the technology is not as widely deployed as the amount of users of the new devices, theses issues happen.
A common way to fix this is to stay on 3G only mode, which is a burden. Otherwise hope the Sprint tech is smart enough to know its a Spark phone related issue, and knows how to send a tech out to your area to fix it. Last resort is to wait it out.
Calling Sprint may or may not do anything. I have been experiencing these problems since day one in New York City at my home, and every call to Sprint was answered with a saying that it is an issue with your phone.
