This just started happening a few days ago. Mobile data drops out..no 3g or 1x. Seems to happen on multiple roms, think its a sprint issue. Anyone else?

Try calling sprint and have them reset your signal.

Did you happen to flash the vm firmware? That could cause your described issue.

What are you using to bypass the proxies? Where I live 3g is horrible and lately 4g is getting worse

Welcome to Sprint's 3g lol
Yea sprint is whack in some areas.. some areas it's decent. T-mobile 3g is always consistent and heck even faster than sprint 4g sometimes. They need to improve service because it's not reliable.
Its been like that for me since my release day OG...

yeah... sprint 3G has sucked for me for like the last 6 months. I think they are intentionally throttling down and degrading 3G quality in towers where 4G is available. that seems to be the trend I am noticing. This way, it encourages us to move off of those channels and free up traffic for others who dont have 4G. Just a theory. But my worst 3G speed / signal is in areas where 4g is available.
I broke my 3d and had to reactivate my old Hero but i cant get any data cuz the area where my account is active (Dallas 469 area code) is having issues so even all the way down here in houston i cannot get my phone to provision on the network because its pulling from Dallas where the problem is. So i have no data at all!!!! Rep said it would be next friday b4 its fixed but they will credit for the time im without data. WTF?
Sprint offered
received READY NOW service today hard reset, wipe and slate test. I'testing

I remember a guy say here there was 4G here near downtown area so I turned on 4G a while back & got no bars on 4G with constant disconnections! I live in midtown & make a mistake & turned on 4G recently & was getting a connection. Sprint must really be working on the 4G because now I get connection all over midtown! The connection is stronger outside…… Here is the speedtest from inside house to outside! Your thoughts……

arghhh I could so use this a month ago, when I was stuck in a hotel, with very bad WiFi.
I've been waiting for 4g in Memphis ever since I got the original Evo. I'm turning it on now to test but I live out in the Wolfchase area so we'll see.
Damn, nothing at my house but good to know we are finally getting some in town. The Sprint tower by my house gives me great 3g with 2600kbps down and 1300kbps up so I won't need the 4g here but when I'm downtown I will be cranking it out.
Since we are flexing 4G muscle...
I had it over new years and at the hotel on the way back and it was awesome. New years eve I passed out with it on and a new battery in, and when I woke up it had stayed connected the whole time and I still had a full battery. Usually I have to stand outside with my phone facing a certain direction before I can get it, yet my evo 4g was able to connect in places where my 3d doesn't even try to.

Fellow midtowner! I've been able to get as far as the main library before losing 4G when I tried on my Evo 4G last year, but I really don't use it all that much even when it is available.
Just tried it, got 2877kbps/118kbps. It'd probably be faster out in my driveway

You live in midtown too bro? When I had it on earlier today, it went nearly all the way to Christian Brothers University until disconnected! I'm glad I'm finally getting to use it, I tried to go back to 3G & it's impossible bro! I went from almost 3mb+ down/1.5mb+ up down to like 250kb down/90kb up SMH! The 3G in midtown where I am is ridiculous bro, nearly impossible to use until it's late night round 1! WTF

theres 4g coverage in La Crosse, WI.
I get about 1-2mbps down and about 1mbps up from my house where I have Low to almost no signal (it drops sometimes). About 100ms ping to any mainland server.
There are however a few settings in the ##DATA# menu for wimax, to decrease the drop threshold, and speed up the reconnection process if it does drop. I forget where the thread went though lol

The network vision towers (probably just went local for the OP) most likely are carrying Wimax until the agreement with Clear expires.

Congrats on being the 3rd major Tennessee city with wimax. Here in Knoxville wimax is still spotty but fast when with good signal. Nashville seems to have decent coverage, but if we could all have the speed and coverage that Atlanta enjoys, no one would be *****ing about not having LTE.
My phone will disconnect 3g and just stay off till I reboot or go in and manually turn off the internet connection and turn it back on..
Sprint is trying to tell me that everybody is having the same problem and there should be an OTA sent out to fix the problem..
Thanks

Mine does it as well . Don't know if its the phone or sprint working on the towers . I called and they told me they were working on towers in my area. They said they shut one off and the other towers around there have to pick up for the one that's getting worked on. But its annoying

Yep, I have the same problems. The 3G connection is a joke. I was dealing Sprint yesterday to get my phone replaced and the guy asked how I liked it. I told him the 3G connection sucks and he said they were working on the towers.
I think it's bull****. I just love paying for ****ty service.

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.

So if all goes well with the mortgage company I'll be moving to an area with poor Sprint coverage. My question is do I get an airrave or switch carriers? I really love this phone, but to be honest I'm tired of crappy Sprint service. I live in mid-michigan and will never see LTE, so I was thinking vzw. Only problem is they don't have any version of the one series. If I were to switch to vzw what would be the best phone to get? I would assume the Sgs3 when it comes out, but not sure what else they have.

Call Sprint and tell them that you recently move and there is poor service where you currently live. Tell them that you need an Airrave II or you will be force to cancel do to the poor service. I got one and it workd like magic.

Sprint is upgrading the towers in my area of North Hollywood to LTE, which is making my family's mobiles go bonker sh*t.

The Airrave II needs to be connected to a High Speed Internet. It will provide data and voice coverage for up to 8000 feet. If you dont like the speed that the Airrave II puts out you can always connect to your wireless internet.
Thanks for the replies, I plan on having WiFi anyways so that probably would be my best option because att and vzw are rediculous with their pricing.

Yes they are. I have 4 lines and pay almost $200. With VZW I would be looking I at almost $400 for the same service I get from sprint. You can always make your phone roam for phone service and 3G data. speed will very. just hit #*#*4636*#*# and on the top select the 3 dots, on the menu that comes up hit 800 mhz. only use this feature as last resource.

I live in a 3g only area, and today my phone has started showing 4g sporadically.
When the phone shows 4g my data stops working and then all data cuts out and 3g comes back.
I'm running viper Rom with snuzzo kernel. Could this be a software issue? The Verizon website does not have my city listed for current or upcoming 4g availability.

if you know you are in a city with no 4g and dont plan on getting it soon, why not change it to CDMA only? The phone might think its getting a signal from a 4g tower and its causing it to switch like that

This has never happened before today, so I was hoping it was me getting 4g in my area.....
I tried the cdma only setting, and my data as a whole is spotty now. My wife's thunderbolt is doing the same thing now.
Is this what its like when they flip the 4g switch? Does anybody else remember when 4g came on in there area?

they might be testing the 4g radio in your area and it that might be causing it. give it a couple of days, if it doesnt fix you might want to as a vzw rep. for me it was back when tbolt launched when we got 4g
What ROM are you using? I know that on some ROMS, like cyanogenmod, it's actually best to keep phone on the setting that supports multiple data modes.
I live in a town of 15k and we just got 4G, so u may get it after all...

Verizon is sure looking better and better when my contract is up in December.
