Hello. I've lived in the same place since 2003 and have had sprint since. I've always gotten superb signal but after taking my evo 3d in for screen replacement I have zero bars of signal in the same house. Could they have done something to break my good connection?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I would call sprint and ask them if there's a tower down. It's possible that by coincidence they took one down at the same.time your phone was fixed.

A simple screen replacement wouldn't do that. Like the above poster said, the first thing to do is call Sprint and see if there is a tower out. If not, were you rooted when you took the phone in? Normally, whatever you take the phone in for, Sprint will fully update it. Perhaps they updated you while you were rooted.
lmao. ummmm are you guys kidding me? lol most companies will lie to their customers and say they're down just to shut up the customer. lol. But I highly doubt it is a tower. I'd say they screwed up your phone. But easy way to figure it out. I forget the name of the app. but FIND OUT WHAT TOWER YOU WERE REALLY ON! Chances are you WERE NOT ON a sprint tower. Sprint is ONLY GOING TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR OWN towers. They won't have any idea if it belongs to someone else normally.
But who knows. wouldn't hurt calling them. does your phone work other places? what towers are they working on?
Call from a landline, they have you do a few things with your cell. They are also able to check your signal by phone, save some gas and time

wait? who has landlines? lol. just kidding. but for real. most people are dropping their land-lines these days. I hate mine. I need voip. But yeah. could work. But that's hoping that you get the right tech that knows what he's doing. When I've called in... Most of the techs don't know their butt from their mouth. But still worth a shot.

EDIT: What is posted after the break is an opinion I have. It may contain graphic adjectives in reference to Sprint/Verizon/TMO's services...I don't mean to offend anyone, I am merely hoping to get opinions similar to mine, so that I can maybe learn from those experiences and make a well informed decision that will have to suffice for my next 2 year contract.
UGH!!! So frustrated. I had TMO, they don't get **** out here in Dothan, AL. I switched to sprint with the hopes of a fast unlimited data network I would be able to tether too, it has not been the case. It has been pretty lackluster, and now I have gotten the EVO 3D and it seems even worse!!!! I think I am going to return it and go to verizon at this point. It really sucks, because I HATE VZW. There phones BLOW! and they are ridiculously expensive, but what option do I have. Between Sprint's busted ass 3g network and TMO's lack of service out here, there isn't much for me to do....LAME!

This is where I am torn... I was optimistic about Sprint getting better...like if they set up more towers or something..but from what I have been hearing(on this forum)...Sprint has a very outdated 3G network that is only getting worse..sO I was thinking maybe go with verizon if Sprint is only going to get worse...? I was hoping to get some input and luckily I got some from you, thank you. Maybe mroe people have something to say on the subject..

He has nothing positive to say about sprint service. What does he want? For me to put on my hard hat and truck roll to the towers and fix his problem?

Didn't realize just being on a 'military installation' in dothan, AL was what kept us safe??
Are you even part of a fighting force? I have a lot of military buddies, and customers for that matter, and I typically find it that those who do the most, talk about it the least. The many I know certainly wouldn't engage someone in a forum taking credit for keeping the US safe while sitting near Fort Rucker. You certainly receive no respect from me.

Certainly not asking for respect. To be honest, your opinion is one that I would have had prior to entering the service, but to continue with my honesty...I haven't been a part of the fighting force yet..but I know that I will be at some point(likely multiple) in my 6 year military career. I guess some people just don't understand the amount of freedom soldiers sacrifice to train, so that when they ARE called on they CAN fight for this great nation. I am not trying to make this a political forum...I found his assumption of me being someone who is too lazy to get an ISP illconceived....I am simply asking for peoples opinions because I know that I have a very static thought process when it comes to cellphone companies. I also find it irrelevant for people who work at Sprint to chime in and get offended for whatever reason. I will edit my post, so that it does not offend your demographic.

My evo gets horrible and i mean horrible data speeds consistently 300kb or less on both upload and download.
I know it's a common problem. And i figured it was like when the first evo came out that it would fix itself. but it hasn't I have done prl updates and all but still no improvement. should i return it and just get a replacement in a couple days or should I try sprint trouble shooting. I never had speeds this bad with me OG evo, and my wife's epic is fine also....
Any recommendations? I would prefer not to mess with the phone, and i just want it to work outa the box.

You can edit it if you'd like. Just select to edit your first post, and you should be able to scroll all the way up and change it.
EDIT: Also, I don't have a good suggestion to your problem if you don't really want to mess around with it. Did you already try the known 'fixes' for that issue? Perhaps try calling Sprint and see if they can do a reset on your data profile or something to that nature. I know you said you don't want to mess with it, and you'd prefer if it worked out of the box, so perhaps calling Sprint is the best bet if you're not feeling like messing around with it.
Had the same problem with my evo, went to a sprint store, the rep that helped me had the same phone that he said he got weeks before the official release, when we tried to do a speed test his was around 300 (the 3g g in this area is really bad) while mine was 30-50, at the same place same time. so he sent it back to the techs, they said everything was fine, so he just exchanged it for me (30 days exchange), no restocking fee or any of these sort of things. so I recommend you exchanging the phone (unless you are not in the 30 days) then i would send it through warranty.
good luck
Thanks today is my last day though i ordered it online so I can't into a store.
I'm ginna try the fixes. And then I'm gonna tryba verizon prl like I had on my evo. Though I lose txt message accuracy if I do tyat....
Thanks for the suggestions.

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.

The probably reprovisioned your account, unthrottling you. With the network vision stuff, we should see drastic improvements in Q1 2012 hopefully.
**** im on sprints ass about getting me my $75 upgrades they owe me.. 3 lines are eligible for the upgrade.. I know that they took it off, and know about the no more 75 upgrade... But its ON CONTRACT that they owe me. They want to walk away from it but i got that upgrade way before they took the 75 off from upgrade, and to this day and time its still on my contract that i signed. They quick giving ppl ETF, but when people like me quick to jumping at something that i earned in time, they dont wanna give me... **** em. Ima win this battle they will be giving me 225 credit for the 3 lines that are indeed by proof on my ACCOUNT that they owe me 75x 3 for upgrades.. Dont let this happen to yall! Fight for your rights! You pay for time u get what u get. Thats why people do what they do w roaming and free tethering cause sprint pulls this ****.. I say to all that do it, go on w ur badselfs. Sprint gets what they get for doing stupid **** like this.
Im clearly in right when it clearly says it in stone that my contract is eligible for the upgrade
Sprint dont play w me! You will lose!!

Like hell they don't. After the Evo 4G came out and they offered their cheap unlimited, they had a huge influx of customers. After that, major network areas had problems with people even able to get data at all. How did they fix it? They let everyone have data, just at a slower speed. How else do you think reprovisioning works? Or deleting the Sprint proxies inside EPST?
Its not throttling if everyone is subject to it...

Not true. Think of it like the QoS settings on a router. To maintain everybody having network access, they limit the speeds of everybody.

Ugh, are you kidding me? I didn't even know they did this so called reprovisioning. I've complained a lot before about their data, this is kind of the problem. Sprints equipment is way under par, that's why their data sucks. This network vision crap better be a big upgrade to both speed and capacity to their total network, or it won't mean jack in the long run.

Yea I can guarantee that the speeds will be much lower with more than a few people connected to the network. I'm just impressed that Sprint is capable of this is all.

Check out the company called light squared and search it with sprint in the same search. Sprint is paying out the ass to make it work. I'm a recruiter and I work with the company they have recently had some break through and even some test. If it works out. Sprint will be able to use the tech to transfer their LTE anywhere you can receive a GPS signal.
