so I went to Vegas for the weekend. Trip was great except for the fact that I somehow lost my 3g signal. When I have 4g, everything is rocking, but in some parts of Vegas, 4g is weak. I'm now on my way to NY, in ATL airport, still no 3g. I failed to mention, my wife has a photon which has had 3g both in Vegas and now in ATL. Went into mobile networks and tried automatic, sprint only and any cdma. Any help would be .

Try menu>settings>about phone>system updates and update your profile and PRL. Then give it a reboot once both are updated.
Profile update failed.
Error code network error.
That's what I get when I try to update the profile. The 4g signal disappears, all I see are the bars. Then the Refresh 4g symbol appears, connects than I receive the above error. Similar error with update prl. I tried to update prl in Vegas and rebooted using quickboot, but to no avail. Prl is 51084. latest stock, rooted.

You may have to SBF it to work again, not ideal in your situation but it's what will work.

Looking at those errors the first thing that pops to mind is your nvram might be messed up. As was suggested, a SBF is a good place to start.
Thanks shore the help guys. SBF food the trick. When I turn off 4g, the 3g icon pops up.Then again, it could be because I'm back in NY. Either way, thanks for the thoughtful suggestions!

I will upload the other in a sec... It won't let me upload the other screen shot
WARNING - WARNING -WARNING .. UPDATING TO THE LATEST PRL HAS LEFT ME AND OTHERS WITHOUT 3G STUCK WITH ONLY 1X DATA SPEEDS . SO UPDATE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DONT BLAME ME, BLAME SPRINT OR VERIZION OR THE NEW HBOOT I DONT CARE JUST DONT BLAME ME!!!

After seeing this post, I.updated my prl, and it too gave me the 50580....i.was on 21081 before updating...

Seems like mine got a little worse actually, but I'm not at my desk, so it could just be that I'm at a different location in my plant...il do I speed test when I get back to my desk
I know mine seems worse, I am in a area I know I get 3g. Since I did the prl update I am now on 1x in this area wtf??
I am not a data whore either, lol.

I tested using the speedtest app, which I just used the other day from the same location...after running multiple tests, it seems my 3g speeds actually dropped 100kb and I'm constantly showing 1x (was 3g before updating prl, and yes my theme shows 3g/1x properly)
They were 160kbs before the prl update, now, averaging 60-70...thanks for the notice of prl update op.... LOL

Can you get me the 21081 prl file?
I'm starting to think sprint is trying to make things worse, not better. The last two times I've taken a prl update it significantly showed my speed.
I've never had very fast speeds w sprint but the speeds have fine b from a crawl earlier this year of around 60 kb to around 600 kb or so. when I had pro 20800 I remember things were pretty decent. Then I took the 20801 update v and it slowed way down for Weeks. Now speeds on 20801 have been pretty decent and I see this thread of an update. So, I figure "I doubt it will slow me down again, right"....WRONG!
I ran two speedtests within a half hour of the update, so I have a baseline. One test was taken just before the update to try to keep the test consistent. I updated the prl and ran two new speedtests. The new speed is 1/10 the old speed. All other factors should be same. Sitting in same location on all tests. All performed within relatively short timespan. Only difference is prl version. See my screenshot..

Have to keep an eye on this thread. I'm getting a horrible signal lately but at least I'm getting 3g and not 1x (I have a truth telling rom also lol). Not to mention I'm at my Doctors office in Albany NY (the capital of NY) and have one bar.
I know everyone's on the edge of their seat worrying about me but its just a yearly physical. ***cough***
BABABOOEY!
i got the same update 50580 now i live out in the country and used to get almost no signal at my house now after the prl update im getting a constant 2 signal bars..data speeds on the other hand..it still moves like pond water

Haha don't use sprint zone, its archaic and isn't properly updated, use the about phone tab to check software and carrier versions. But to answers your question, a PRL (Preferred Roaming List) update is carrier wide. When towers are updated or tweaked they roll out a PRL update, normally they do a couple towers and then roll out a update, or else there would be a new PRL update every day! Most PRL updates come from upgrades, like the transition from CDMA to CDMA LTE towers. Even though you prolly won't see much effect from the update in your area, if you ever traveled to a 4g area without the update your phone wouldn't work efficiently, so everyone gets the update. PRL updates also come from tower performance tweaks aswell.

Thanks for the heads up about Sprint Zone and the info about PRL updates. I assumed it had something to do with the network but wasn't exactly sure. I've gotten messages from Sprint recently talking about "A new Network is coming" so that would make sense and I know they've also done some tower upgrades in my area recently.
On another note, is anyone else having issues with doing a PRL update? It has still yet to work and continues to just hang on "Contacting Network" message. When it hangs on that message it totally renders my device useless and I have to power down (or pull the battery).

The messages about the new network are pertaining to Network Vision, sprint is merging all their technologies 3G/4GLTE/WiMax(where available) together into a more efficient spectrum and coverage overlap! Its actually quite an impressive system! At least the PowerPoint was lol, hoping that they deliver what they promise!

I hope they deliver too because it sounds promising. I can't complain too much tho, I get fairly good service most everywhere I go in my area. 4G (WiMax) is pretty limited but I get it where I work and surrounding areas.
Still have yet to have any luck as far as a PRL update goes tho. Oh we'll I guess, I'll try every now and then and if it happens it happens...

No, I'm pretty sure you have to flash stock to update, then flash back to whatever custom ROM you're using.
Easiest way is to have a nandroid of stock, take a nandroid of what you're using, flash the stock, update via "about phone," then restore your custom nandroid.

I apologize as I'm certain this has been asked already. I just got my EVO LTE today. I'm using the Android xda app and I can't find any way to confine a search to a specific forum. When I type in my search, the app searches all forums at CDs!
When I'm away from a wifi signal, and I try to use any app that requires a data connection, I get a no data signal error.
I have tried switching to cdma only, but that does not work. When I check in settings, it also says, "no data connection".
So 1. What's up with that?
Bonus 2. Is there a way to search in the Android xda app and limit it to one forum?
Thanks.

I have a co-worker who just got this phone 2 days ago with the same problem. He called the store, told him what was going on and they said bring it back and they gave him a new one. Well it didn't fix the problem. Now they are saying its cuz Sprint is still working on making things work on ICS.. they have also said its because the update hasn't come to make it a working 4G LTE phone yet.. my friend is a EVO fan and is trying to stick it out, he has a 14 day buyers remorse period which he can exchange it for a different phone which he might go to the SGS2 .. any info would be great.

Yes, mobile data is on. That's where it says, "no data connection". If you long press, you have the option for cdma only.
I haven't yet called Sprint because I figured this issue must have been posted here and someone had a fix. Also had fear Sprint would not know what the problem was. After the above post, I guess I have a good reason!

I had the same problem and used ##3282# to delete profile and couldn't get it to reconnect. Come to find it is was because i was connected to an airave. I went up the street and updated the profile again and it started working instantly. Haven't had any more problems since.
Same problems here - I kept going into roaming mode with full bars, then out of roaming and zero bars. Couldn't use any mobile data or make calls.
Kept having to update the PRL - like every hour or so. Eventually, updating the PRL stopped fixing the problem. Resetting the phone got the mobile connection working again but it still wigs out after awhile and updating the PRL isn't helping. Only resetting makes it work. Ugh.
I'm on wifi a lot and the wifi radio seems to work like a champ.
Updating the PRL and Profile and then rebooting the phone solved the problem for me.
i am headed to the sprint repair center at lunch for this issue. It will work great as long as I do not turn on the wifi..as soon as it connects to a wifi source it drop the mobile network like it should..but when the wifi goes away it will not reconnect to mobile network..it will say "turning on" then just go to disconnected...sucks. Hope they can either fix it or provide a new one.
Last night I decided to try to update my prl through the updater in Sense and I got an error code 1233. Called sprint tech support and spent an hour trying to get it fixed. The tech ended up just sending me a new phone, which a huge buzz kill because I've had hboot 1.12 since the beginning with s-off. Was running toasted-deck from irc, and I don't know if that had anything to do with my phone getting screwed up so I figured I'd ask if anyone else has had this problem? I want to unlock this new phone when I get it too, and I'm really going to miss TD if this is a common problem.
I got the same thing while trying to update my firmware.

Unfortunately I did try in a few different areas. I live in Cincinnati and go to school in Dayton, but got the same error in both places. I really wonder how this even happened because I never had a problem running AOSP on my OG EVO so I don't think that could be it.
I had this happen on my 3D and when it did work it only connected to Verizon....weird I know and even the tech couldn't believe but I did a data reset on it and never had that problem again.

I had the same problem a few days ago. I was Running CM10 and switched over to Stock w/ Goodies to update my PRL and Profile so i can take advantage of LA's new LTE network but i kept getting that error. I ended up unrooting and relocking my phone and restored to complete stock after that it updated fine the first time. I doubt being rooted prevents you from updating either the PRL or Profile.
I was getting the same error code at work. I googled the code ansomeone said it was a connection problem. I believe this because I never get a good signal at work. When I got home my prl updated. I'm on meanrom.
Easy Fix
Turn off WiFi and LTE radio (CDMA only) and try it. You should be able to update the PRL and Profile.
As "zAcHcOmA" mentioned, I also gave them a Thanks for it.. I had the same issue with "Error Code 1233".
My problem started when I noticed every incoming call I tried to answer thru the Handset would basically act as if I missed the call. Seems I didn't have an issue answering through Blue Tooth though. Not exactly sure what is causing this. I'll keep an eye on it after updating my PRL & Profile. Anyways, I did the following and was able to update both PRL & Profile..
1. Make sure Wireless is off
2. Set network to by going to Settings - Mobile Data - Network Mode "CDMA only"
3. I was then able to update both PRL & Profile through System Updates and I then rebooted my phone.
I'll now find out if my issue is resolved or if I still have on going issues.
So I have been stuck in roaming since yesterday. I tried resetting the phone.. Turning off roaming.. Changing network types .. I'm kinda at a loss? I am s-off on the newest radios. Also I updated my prl and profile..
