It's still jacked up from the storm. Spoke with a few sprint agents in the phone and Wednesday seems to be the day that everything will be back up.
For me voice and data are useless.

^this is correct.
I had trouble yesterday too (Sunday) and when I called Sprint the recording said they were aware of the issues and were working on it so I hung up deciding to wait. That was about 10:00 a.m.
About 4:00 p.m. I was still unable to make a call so I called the number and spoke to a technician. They had me turn off my phone and turn it back on; went through activation and poof! VMs and text messages started to flow in. The tech said they had tower damage from the storm but also said I may have continued intermittent issues for the next week as they were upgrading the towers for better service. No mention of LTE but I'm guess (hoping) it's part of Network Vision.
Today I get home from work and can't make calls again. Different than yestereday, now my call start to ring then just drops and my phone displays, "The network is busy. Please try again later."
I've been without power since Friday night. I was actually pretty pissed off on Saturday because I had no cell phone service nor data I guess because of the storm but I understand it's not sprints fault and you can't control nature. I was staying at my wives grandmas house and I drove an hour back to my house and was supposed to call my wife about more supplies needed but couldn't so it was pretty frustrating. Anyway apparently my power won't be back on until Friday night. I'm happy to see it want just me experiencing this BS.

Ok so i have an interesting problem verizon cant figure out so maybe someone else here has run into it. Im in an extended 4g network but it is here. I have full service -75 or better db and the 4g symbol just constantly switches on and off (and data does the same) I turned off 4g for now, and Im heading to NYC for work tomorrow night so i can test it there. It could be the towers here, could be my phone, could be the sim just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

yeah my phone does this all the time. I had my phone switched out for an issue and both phones before rooting had 0 4G issues, and consistently did 20-30 down, and now do maybe 5-6 and 4G cuts in and out. I am assuming it is because of the PRL.
what PRL do you have? I have 15008. I was going to check our stock demo thunderbolt at work tomorrow and see what it has as it is still much faster than my phone has been after rooting.

Just went to VZW store with the idea to swap the phone. When i told them about 4G cutting in and out, they said, VZW is working on software update/patch, and it will be send out "soon". So, there is no need to exchange the phone, because before that update, i would have exactly the same problem with the new one. But, when it is going to be pushed out - that they cannot tell.......so, i decide to call Tech Support, and they told me the exact thing........the wait is the killer.....

same prl and mine did it rooted and non rooted. 15008 should be stock i think. Ill let yall know how it goes in NYC tomorrow night, if i have steady service the whole time it will point towards individual towers dropping signal.
You might need a new sim card, I had the same problem.

I have had the same problem with 4g and 3g being inconsistent and constantly swithing back and forth since the network issue last Thursday. It seems to be much better today for some reason that isn't clear to me. I have also noticed that my PRL goes between 1 and 15008 completely at random. My friend just got his t-bolt today and it came with a PRL of 15011 out of the box so I know there is at least one other PRL floating around that may help resolve these issues. All I can really confirm is that I feel your pain and aggravation. I'm going to keep a close eye on my data tomorrow since it magically seemed to work better late today and let you know if I figure anything out as to why mine suddenly seems better. I have to assume that Verizon is sorting out all these issues and is slowly rolling out tower updates but who knows at this point.
Also, I am completely stock and ripinning the stock radio config (no ##778# or other changes).

My data speeds using the Speedtest app are between .10-.30 mbps download on 3G consistently.
At the very beginning of the tests it looks like a good download speed, and within a couple of seconds, it always drops down to the .10-.20 range, and stays there until the end of the test.
My wifes Evo 4g in the same spot is getting consistent .90-1.2 mbps.
Updated PRL/Profile/Re-started/Removed battery ect several times - No changes.
Anyone have any ideas? I might be taking it back for another one....
Edit/Delete Message
Was curious about speeds since I've seen a few threads. My 3G speeds are notorious for being ****ty at home. Like what you are getting. Well I think something changed. I just ran 3 tests and well the results are:
1.08
1.26
1.48

same here, my old evo got 56k speeds here at the house but the 3d is getting about 250-300k
I had a similar problem and had the dancing signal bars issue where it was all over the place. Then I restarted my phone for the first time after keeping it on and never shutting it off for a full day and it fixed itself.
I have the EXACT issue...
My co worker still has her EVO 4G (what I just came from) and her 3G speeds are ~1000kbps while mine are EXACTLY 125kbps every time!
Something is wrong here. I'm almost certain my speeds is capped for some reason. The *2 people were clueless. I had one tell me "the phone is 3D so it might be downloading 3D everything and that could slow it down".
Totally clueless. They told me I have to take it in to a Sprint store to "run diagnostics". So I'll be doing that. If they can't fix it then I'm switching back to my EVO 4G.
I also only get between .1 - .3 mbps on 3G, and absolutely terrible latency (600-900ms).
I've restarted the phone several times and I test it each day, and I've done it in several different places. 4G seems fine, I consistently get between 4 - 5mbps.
This is my first sprint phone though so I don't have anything to compare it against except my previous verizon phone which got between 1 - 2mbps on 3G.
Hey guys, check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153371
I have done this with success on 3 evo 3D's, sounds hoaky but give it a shot!
Check if your EVDO setting is on Automatic instead of CDMA. I did the Data Profile reset and it sets EVDO to CDMA. Pings were 800-900ms on CDMA. Switched it to Automatic and pings are back in the 90-120ms.
I was getting under 100kbps for the last month...
And then tonight I've hit 2140kbps
Maybe sprint listen to my *****ing and did something or fixed something but i never hit that much with att,Verizon, or tmobile in my area...
I'm a happy camper
(sorry to rub it in your face if it seems that way)

Have sprint reset your data profile. I had the same thing happen to me. Now I get 700 to 1000 kbs...

I had this issue - Ill bet your settings in the EVOD in the data menu are set to CDMA and not Auto - Set them to Auto and it will reboot, you will get better speeds.

Wherever you have 3g service you will have 4glte it may take a while for sprint to get to your area depending on where you are located
I was on vacation for a week and where I stayed they charged for WiFi so I used wireless tether for my xbox to watch netflix and play live...what's the most data some other people have used in a week?

It wasn't until I reached 80gb until I received a call to watch my usage. They do know what you used it for. It is unlimited but if you ho overboard by tethering it they will cancel your service. I had many 25 gb months with no call from customer service. You should be fine.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I wish I could use that much data. I get about 50kbps dial-up speeds here on 3g, so I can never stream any music/video like I should be able to.
lol, nice, but yea, don't over do it man, most i did was 8gb, but i was doing it on purpose though, i never normally go over 2-3, but yea, it was a one time thing for you which is what i really feel like tethering should be used for, for the ones that abuse it SHAME!!!
lmao, seriously thats nothing. you will be ok. i avg 80gb a month
I couldn't rack up that much data in a month if I tried, the sprint 3G speeds here suck and they took out the wimax tower when they did the LTE upgrade last month so now I don't even get wimax when I am at work.
This is comfort to know that I can use my wifi tether without penalty. The app I mean not the sprint wifi tether. I don't even get wimax here at all. 3g sucks here too. I got to leave the city to get decent service.
When I was trying to negotiate my latest contract, they tried to convince me to drop cable internet and tether everything in my house off of my phone... stating that then I'd save money but not paying the cable company.
U guys have good phone plans over at sprint
Here in Australia their all sht

His parents took away his phone and he has been phone less for about 2yrs

80 GB?? I don't even use that much on my home internet let alone my phone...My average when I'm home is about 1-5 GB a month max. 80 GB is just insane.
That is impressive.
I HAVE tried to use as much as possible and can only manage to use 5-6GB, thats all the more I can do @ 200Kb/sec
I don't think I've ever used more than a GB I'm a month. Even with frequent music streaming.

They shouldn't have taken out the WiMax equipment just yet. I thought they were supposed to run both until they begin phasing out WiMax all together? You should check with them and find out what's up with that. LTE is replacing WiMax, but over time, not immediately. This video kinda explains it in a way, but not very detailed. You should have it through 2015 at least:

Hello,
Today my phone will not connect to LTE no matter what I do. Last night it was on just fine and today I am only getting 3G. I am in the age exact spot where for the last few days since I've had my LG G3 I have had full bars of LTE Spark.
I have successfully updated profile and even PRL.
Any suggestions?

Are you in an officially supported LTE/Spark area? I say this because where i live, i can sometimes get LTE in certain spots, but sprint hasn't "officially" announced an LTE rollout in this area.

Two words for all of you. Because even if they may have told you "rollout" is complete in your area it's probably not really complete.
"Network Upgrades"
And a bit of advice, never ever trust anyone at Sprint about network rollout status.
