I have been having a weird issue with my 4G the last few days. I live in Oklahoma City which was a city that got 4G awhile ago it was running fine with no real problems until yesterday. The problem is it shows service and I can load xda app to get to forums but youtube, pda net, dolphin browser won't load. When I switch over to cdma it loads fine(just slower of course). When i switch back to LTE xda app loads and speed test .net show correct 4G numbers. I have tried flashing a new ROM from cm7 1.2, Omfgb, synergy sense 3.0 nightlies plus chingys lastest ROM. Flashed radios 2mr 2.5mr and the lastest radio chingy put on root wiki. I wipe usally 3times between flashes and dalvik a few times. I was just wondering if anyone has had this trouble or maybe its something up with Oklahoma City since it just happened a few days ago. If anyone else has this problem or has fixed it please let me know.

Just to let you know I am having LTE data issues in OKC too.
I read over on rootzwiki someone in Texas was having the same problemn he lives in Texas. So maybe its a Verizon network problem

Same thing in dallas, browser works if you use bing gotta be a google/verizon issue. I don't know why but it will not connect to google using 4g.
Same thing in the DFW area of TX. I cannot connect to G+ on 4G but if I switch over to 3G it works fine. Also have the browsing issue on the stock browser.

Verizon had no clue what I was talking about. What's really aggravating is google voice isn't working either on 4g.
I do not think its a root or radio issue. I have Th3roy on mine with the leaked radio its got no google voice or browser on 4g, 3g is fine, im in Tulsa. One of my buddies had two non rooted tb's they're both doing exactly the same thing.
4glte data to the browser and google voice is back up here in Tulsa at 1907
im having the same problem here in text i read on the CM7 people were having this problem too it says i have 4g but when i try to use my apps or go on the internet pages wont load. i have notice that if i switch to cdma 3g it works just fine so i been on while im out in about. i also notice that when i use wifi tether on 4g it works just fine when i am connected tp my xbox and laptop i get good speeds but on my phone web pages just wont load. i went ahead and called verizon about the problem and they said nothing was wrong with 4g here in the south even tho they are reciving alot of calls about the issue and tried to trouble shoot me which didnt wor and say i wasnt in a 4g area even tho houston was in the frist batch of of cities to get 4gand i tried trouble shoot myself by changeing roms and radios still no lucky.. i believe verizon messed something up because i just started having these problems saturday night and either dont know whats going on or are playing dumb until they figure it out....sorry about the long message

its not only in OKC im in Texas and having these problems and for me none of my web pages load on exp.. droid life, bgr, phonedog, phandriod, android police, my droid world, google+..... its funny because the only website that seems to work for me is androidcentral.com and even funnier that the rest of the web pages will load fine on 3g like i said before verizon messed something up Saturday and either dont believe what people are telling them or are trying to keep quite about and like someone else metioned its not only rooted thunderbolts two of my coworkers with out rooted thunderbolts are having the same issue and a friend on a charge is too.`

I was one of people on mikmik who posted about this rootzwiki also I believe I thought I was going insane. Network problem for sure I have loaded so many roms and radios to no avail. Can't search anything on Google VIA search bar or load Google.com on 4G. Defaulted browser search and homepage to Bing for now. 4G coverage is very bad for me in DFW area of Texas.

i just got off the phone with verizon and they want everyone to call in from a different number at 1800-922-0204 they also said they are aware of the issue with not being able to view google websites and that there is a setting we need to change.... i believe its something with the network because im having trouble with more than just google sites
Hey everyone,
The problem with the 4g in Houston seems to be a DNS issue. I have a thunderbolt and very few of my Google apps or services seem to be able to connect even though 4g indicator is on.
Here's a link to the topic on rootzwiki where people have found a solution:
rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1763-Browser-not-liking-LTE&p=39618#post39618
And here's another xda thread where people are having the same issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16014183&posted=1#post16014183
If you're phone is rooted please try the set DNS app to change to the appropriate DNS and let us all know how it goes. Since my phone isn't rooted, I will wait it out a little longer just to see if Verizon fixes the DNS. However, I think we should all email/call/harass Verizon as much as possible. It's flat out unacceptable to the consumers who paid good money and locked in on a 2 year contract to get 4g. I could have taken my money elsewhere but Verizon has the fastest network, but if Verizon can't get their DNS server working then I'd rather take my money elsewhere.
I just grabbed set DNs and used Google dnsand my 4glte is now running fine. Good idea.

Same here. I put it in LTE mode, and used the DNS fix, and half hour later, I don't get any 4G, and no data at all. 3G seems to work.
I decided to restore my default DNS settings back.
EDIT: Never mind its back up now.
Just wondering if anyone has tethered to a pc, ran a speedtest, and it shows you in another state?
I'm in San Francisco,CA and it's saying I'm in Wichita, KS...
?
Im running the latest Clean Rom if that matters, and only google gps is on
Happens to me all the time too, I never get decent speedtest locations because of it, I'm guessing it's a 4G connection thing.
The fix I have to do to get a test from close to me is connect to a wifi source, let it find that location, then stay in the speed test app and turn wifi on back to 4G and keep it on the location wifi found.
I believe if you turn on the GPS and let it get a lock it will update to your nearest server. Whats up in Wichita? I seem to travel there all the time
Edit: Re-read OP. Not sure what you mean by "google" GPS but I was talking about insuring that the actual GPS receiver is activated. And, BTW, your boys better win those 3 games they have "in-hand".
are you sure you are not in Wichita,KS? ARE YOU!?!
Thanks everybody, nothing wrong with Kansas, kinda a Jayhawk fan.. Il mess around with gps locks and whatnot, just wanted to see if I was the only one

Location finding can take several routes...
via provider towers: this is the one that generally has you in your neighborhood, or part of town, but never the right street.
via gps: dead on.
via wifi: usually dead on if your routers mac address has been sniffed/mapped out by those google cars and other 3rd parties that pick up signals all over town and pinpoint their locations.
via ip: generally pretty good in getting your region, but if the ip isn't in the big database in the cloud accurately it'll just say 'USA' and puts you in Wichita, KS because that's pretty close to dead center of the US
I use the phone's GPS and I still get stuck out in Lexington, KY, or Wichita, so I do the fix I did on he first page and it fixes it.
I found a tower in San Antonio that has 4G LTE broadcasting right now and played on it a bit yesterday. I was driving around trying to find the actual tower and would drive in and out of range. While testing 4G with speedtest or the browser it would freeze when losing 4G and reverting to 3G. I was using a not to be named dual-core awake mod/kernel at the time. Well, I remembered a reason we have dual-core and not quad-core is because of LTE so I went and flashed back to stock kernel. I didn't have the problem today when I went and played on the tower this time.
I may be completely wrong, but I wanted to bring it up to you devs who know more than I do.
This could also just be pure coincidence.
PS
We have some LTE here in San Antonio, now.
you have LTE in San Antonio, but I don't have it in KC? wat

Its possibly nothing and really safe to say not to deduct anything from that experience until it is officially announced as "live" in your area...b/c right now they are still blocking from most sites so that alone could be causing issues and the hand off's...
Also without a log no dev is going to be able to troubleshoot the handoff your talking....though i honestly dont know what in the dual-core mod would cause that experience as all its supposed to effect is the cpu clock's which wouldn't touch data management connections in anyway...
Yeah, I know it is doesn't help to not have a log. I posted just in case someone out there wanted to know and if they want me to go and try to reproduce what I was describing and save a log then I would.
It is speculation.
And there are several cell towers in San Antonio now allowing 4G LTE connections.
To find them I have had to toggle airplane mode. Not just mobile data. When you have 4G in the area it will take a bit longer to connect data as it tries to negotiate which signal is best. Then it will connect to 3G or 4G accordingly. If you only have 3G in the area then after you toggle airplane it will go directly to 3G. That pause is the indicator you are close to a 4G tower.
Or if your data keeps dropping out. Your phone is trying to connect to lte but the tower is blocking it

I know the tower isn't blocking it. It's live and is meant to be. I called Sprint to confirm and they even shared with me that the towers by my house are going to be live in the next few days.
I wish I knew what value to change to make the phone sit and try/search 4G longer. Or a way to make 4G the only data connection.

I'm stunned at the constant complaints... I believe half of.. everyones issues are due to screwin around and f"n up their phones ,not reading stickies ,,rules , not.knowing...compatibility
The other half is probably defective devices NOT all of us have issues I've had none
The 122.651.3 has bettered the performance no WiFi 3g drop
Great battery from day 1 anyways !!

Network issues.
Welcome to Sprint
I really haven't tinkered with much of anything on my phone and I find the most recent OTA to be MUCH MUCH buggier than the previous version. Before the update I never had Sense crash or any other programs crash. Now they happen once or twice a week (sometimes several in a day). Add that to the fact that I am not S-OFF and I have a loathing hatred for this most recent update.

Sprint is in the middle of a huge overhaul and theres a LOT of strain on it right now
If updating prl/profile doesnt work get your radio checked. If the radio is fine its sprints network

Sorry, but I'm not convinced that my text, roaming and dropped call issues are solely due to the upgrade. You guys can keep screaming that all you want. And I'm not saying that there aren't instances where that's the case. My wife has a shift and isn't experiencing these issues. I've also read about other evo owners with two phones or other sprint phones in their household -- none of which are displaying the same problems.
Again, I'm not saying the network upgrade isn't causing any issues, but it's a bit aggravating to see people post that in every thread containing an issue that can even remotely be attributed to the upgrade like it's gospel.

If you're complaining about SMS issues, missed calls, dropped calls, ect...
Go get your radio tested. It takes 30 minutes at a sprint store. You don't even have to unroot it. Hell, tell them its rooted so they don't mess with the software.
I may try bringing it in tomorrow.

I called up sprint customer service and they were able to refresh it and after rebooting, my phone is able to send and receive text. Can't say it was the phone's fault, so so far this phone has served me well:fingers-crossed:
Yep, pretty odd that my network problems started the same day I bought this phone. Op, Your is working great. Good for you but please don't treat the rest of us as retards. This is my 6th android device. Only one of them wasn't on sprint network. That's only phones I didn't include tablets laying around the house. Nook colors and kfs for the kids and wife.

For those not aware...the EVO LTe is set up out of the box to work on LTE and Enhanced CDMA (for lack of better term/knowledge) Also know as Network Vision, or the upgrades.
In cases where an older phone connects and the EVO LTE does, I have confirmed the EVO LTE is connecting to a network type called ehrpd. This network is not yet active in most cities. The older device confirmed to be connected to CDMA and receiving normal 3g.
This is the reasoning behind changing the network mode to cdma only, as many of us have seen that it forces the phone on to CDMA and not ehrpd.
I hhonestly have no idea what I am doing, but this is what I have found in my hours of testing side by side with older devices. From what I can tell every LTE device Sprint carries has this issue, but the other devices appear to lack the ability to switch.
There are also other issues that can contribute to texts and data.
This theory also works in reverse. If I am in an LTE area and on cdma only data and texts are wonky and I have to switch back.
Moral of the story...handoff could be seriously jacked up. I remember Verizon and ATT having similar issues during buildout. You would think someone had figured it out by now.

Dudes Sprint is upgrading 38000 towers its common sense that your going to have some connection issues and aside from that people living in high populated areas if one of the towers goes down for the upgrade the other ones are going to have way more traffic hence your problems......... I'm pretty sure that's right? And also if you if you can make calls and not receive calls or text but still have data your on data only o. O

A lot of the data/sms/call signal issues can be attributed to the current state of network upgrades, though it's obviously impossible to say 100%. In my experience, the network-related things have worked fine from day 1 (July 19th). That said, I have noticed actual system bugs. For example there was a time when I was using Talk (I hardly ever SMS anymore, Talk is way better IMO) and the text in the app became just a jumbled mess of pixels. Took a reboot to fix but it was still weird. And a friend of mine who got his Evo LTE a couple of weeks before me, his phone just started spontaneously overheating all of a sudden yesterday. We suspect a rogue app getting stuck in a loop, but still that's not a good sign; it should have been caught by the OS and at least thrown up a message to kill the offending application. Again, a reboot fixed it but I'm not really keen on that being an actual solution as opposed to a temporary workaround.

If you want to run your own tests, I use network signal info, open signal maps and an app called "network" to find all of this.

First off I am s-on 1.15 I have been flashing sense based ROMS flawlessly. I have tried flashig both CMX as well as Paranoid Android. Each time flashing boot.IMG through fastboot first. Everything runs smooth. Although my signal is horrible. Where on all sense based ROMS I'm getting great 3g service I may have 1 bar and on the status bar it will say no data connection instead of sprint pcs or whatever. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.Thanks in advance for any advice.

Could it be an issue with the towers in your area? Sense roms are kind of jacked when it comes to reporting signal strength. Htc removed the 1x icon because they claimed it was confusing to customers, they also changed the way it reports the signal polling much like Apple did with their Iphones. There are a couple of apps although I dont remember them off the top of my head, one is crowd sourced and they record data for gprs (1x, 3g) gps, wimax, lte, wifi as well I believe and they graph the listings, another one will show real time information for signal polling.
I am not sure. Anything is possible. I live in a remote area where service is kinda spotty at home anyway. Although my wife has iPhone 4s through sprint as well. Where she will be showing 3-4 bars 3g. But I am running flex stock Rom with sense 4.1 and it definitely seems better . I will definitely look into the apps and see if that shows anything.

I really jinxed myself, I was thinking Im glad Im not that guy everything works and now 3g is dropping like crazy.
Are you in a LTE market? I've heard that when there working on upgrading 3g signals have been reported dropping. I am in between the Atlanta market and the Nashville Tn market. I'm hoping I will see some LTE soon. But like I stated my wife's is working great. I'm hoping my 3g problem hasn't infected you.

I am but theres no LTE here, there wont be for quite some time, the towers for my area are severely neglected, about 2 months ago they had just brought 3g back up and it had been down for a month and a half, i was roaming practically 2 weeks straight before the service started to come back intermittently
