I'm currently on my 2nd 3vo....the new one is actually worst than the 1st because it keeps spontaneously rebooting/freezing. And on top of that STILL shows 4g signal (full bars at times). But has NO connection to the internet at all. I'm curious if anyone else has had the same issue ?....I love the phone but I'm really regretting switching over from sprint...and honestly contemplating canceling service before my 30 days are up.

I'm in Braintree Mass. right now and have been having issues the past 2 days. If it keeps up then I will call Sprint tomorrow and complain.
Yeah sometimes when I'm on 4G I have the bars but don't have any connectivity at times. A few times when i turned off 4G my EVO3d would not connect to 3g until i pulled the battery and rebooted

It's really aggravating...I have no problem with 3g at all...but 4g is a nightmare ! I'm almost thinking of switching to an EVO 4g instead lol

Same here. Just switched to sprint two days ago for this thing, horribly unimpressed. 200kbps 3G and constant freezes which require a battery pull (which is a pain with an otterbox on). Does anyone know if HTC/Sprint are aware of these issues?

Lately my freezing issue has been limited to self reboots lol. When I had my phone replaced at the sprint store

When i had it replaced the tech mentioned there's supposed to be a ota update to address the various issues with the 3vo.
Sent from my sh'm3vo
sometimes i'll have 5 bars and no or very slow connection. other times i'll have 1 bar and 200kb/s. so i'd say it's getting better right now as before i'd have a hard time breaking 100kb.
lol I'm roaming... In the middle of downtown orlando.

I hate motoblur....but might not have a choice and get the photon if these issues persist.

I have had that problem in the past...
... When I had my 4G, it was infrequent network issues that caused that.
The 3D seems to be pretty bad about holding all signals/connections (WiFi, 4G, 3G, voice, etc.).
Sprint has been fine for me here in the mid-atlantic for years. It is this 3D device that has been flake-tastic lately. I am likely going back to a "plain-old" Evo before my 30days with the new phone are up.
I'm getting slower 4G connection than 3G.
I wonder if they thoroughly test the phones before releasing them ?

Been having that exact problem at work, two or three bars showing for 4g but nothing happens when I try to load pages (or do anything that requires data for that matter) its off and on though because later in the day the phone will be humming right along until it happens again... Took my wife's 4g with me yesterday to see if it was my 3vo but both phones had the same problem...

try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140870&page=8 it's a wimax hack that worked for me.
I'm on my 3rd 3vo.....and I'm guessing third times a charm, because this one is finally living up to the hype....

hey guys, have any of you swapped because of bad radio and gotten one that works good? Almost out of time here, and sold evo 4g already. My evo worked pretty decent at my house, the 3d is pretty unusable here. Cell standby says time without a signal is 80% over 8 hours. My old evo would be like 2%. I dont wanna ditch it at this point, but need a phone more than yt3d.

i must have a really good radio, just under 14 percent, 14 hours on...
I returned my first one for other reasons but both radios were bad at my house. My 4G was fine. I switched prl several times but didn't want to be roaming at home and didn't solve the issue anyway. Called Sprint and they sent me airwave (internet based signal booster) free. Works great.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I didn't need an airwave till I had my 3d. I was always roaming in the house also, but its fine anywhere else.
It seems to range from bad to terrible. On second e3d...went through 5 at the store before I returned first one...another 4 when I got second one...."bad"is as good as it gets....but thats just the meter, seems to perform almost as good as my e4g....i think they might have switched the meter from 2g on e4g to 3g on e3d.....it seems to be on par with my e4g on cm7 which measured 3g strength as opposed to sense roms which measured 2g (voice) strength so far as I recall.
Unfortunately that seems to set the threshold for roaming.

Any of you swap after running the temp perm root? I've rebooted a couple times and its still rooted.
I would roam sometimes on evo and usually was like a bar or 2, but the 3d will drop a call at home while still ringing. Everyone says i sound choppy, and usually cant talk more than a minute or 2 without dropping. really sucks.
ok, turned off fast boot and restarted, titanium doesnt have permissions anymore so I guess that killed the root, gonna go swap.
swapped, alittle better, still think the radio is weaker then the evo's.
@ Randy: How did you get Sprint to send you an airwave for free?

isnt hard just call them and say you have no service at home and your calls are dropping. Thats wat i said and had one on my doorstep in 4 days.
Same thing I'm wondering . My radios are fine and pulling 9mb download on 4G and 3g about .60mb .

For the past 3-4 hours, my TB has shown 3-4 bars of signal but there is no 4g or 3g symbol next to the bars. When I go to surf the web or even do anything else it just doesnt load. Is the network down or what? I have a friend next to me with a droid 2 and his service is working fine so I'm wondering whats wrong.
Try putting it in Airplane mode, then back out.

Hmm, I've had a similar problem since late last night/early this morning. If I'm on 3G I have 3-4 bars but never get an active 3G connection. I can however switch to LTE only and after a couple reboots get 4G. I've tried toggling airplane and mobile data but that didn't help at all. Are you in North Eastern Florida by chance? The Thunderbolt uses a different kind of 3G from other 3G phones so it's entirely possible for us to not have 3G when other people do.
One time that happened to me , I took out my SIM card , put it back in and rebooted . After that I had a signal.

Currently I'm at work and I dont know the password here so no wifi. But I do have it at home. I'll try your sim card trick and see if that works

I had the same problem. I reset down to stock rom s-on. I did anything and everything. Since my wife has the same phone and hers had data symbol but mine didn't. But 24 hours later it went back on.... They already sent me a replacement but I sent it back. My was new. So I would suggest waiting 24 hours.

They'll mostlikely give you another one like they did mine. But like I said it came back on 24 hours later plus when i pull the battery and first boot up ill get 1x then when 3g pops I get no data icon.
I even swap my sim to my wife's tbolt and works great. Good luck

Am I the only one who has noticed poor 3G on this phone? Even poor for sprint standards. Especially at places where I normally get my best data I'm getting piss poor and even going into roaming. My desk at work is usually where I get my best speeds and now I can barely send a text message. I've only had the phone for a week but since I've got it 3G has been awful and even WiFi hasn't been spot on... I fails a lot dropping signal if my screen turns off for to long which sucks when I'm downloading a Rom or something of the sort, and before you ask I do have it set to keep WiFi on while the screen is off. I love the phone and would hate to get rid of it because I can't use it. So hopefully its not just me maybe sprint has something going in my area that started the moment I got my phone... I'm in Orlando, FL and I'm running stock with root

Call sprint, check for tower upgrades in your area.
Make sure your updating your prl and profile too
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Naw ur not the only one....with all the upgrades to both the 3g and 4g LTE my 3g has been hit and miss.....good some days and bad others....hopefully it'll all get corrected real some only saving grace for me right now is wi-fi
Underlying idea is, its not the phone... its the network.
Past experience doesn't guarantee present performance
MIne is working well.
Wifi is performing very good for me, and the other day at my apt around 6pm i got 1.9megs down.. 3G..
Its a tower that has been upgraded but still have yet to stay connected to 4G longer then a minute..
No there is an issue...I had a moto photon that was very fast on 3g.....when i switched to the evo lte...i noted it seem to be a lot slower...figure it was the network
Well i went back on my photon while i unlock the evo....and again the photon just flys compared to the evo....there is an issue..a big one

Well I switched from the E3D to the ELTE and I gained on 3g speeds.. I can tell a diff in speed . I got a taste of LTE yesterday for about 5 hrs and it is very noticeable fast over WiMAX .

Hey guys, I flashed Beans and it was working no problem up until about halfway through my drive to work. I just suddenly lost mobile data/LTE. I tried to unseat the SIM and put it back in but still no data. :/ What do you suggest I do?
try toggling lte/cdma under network mode in network settings, if nothing try going back to stock, still nothing then get a new sim card.
OK, co-worker just told me they think a Verizon tower is down in the area. It didn't happen until I was almost at work today.
Thanks though.
I'm in Maryland data down also. 3g just came back up. Have a note 2 and s3 both fluctuating

i had the same happen in my area a couple months ago. talk about a panic attack lol...gotta have my lte!
I had lost all data a couple of days ago. Thought I had broke the phone somehow. Everybody around me had full 4g reception but I had nothing. Then I went and turned mobile data back on and it worked perfectly. Lol my pocket just trolling all day.
