Data Call Failure - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Is anyone else having an issue connecting to 3G. I have to disable LTE and then reboot my phone to get 3G to work. Every time. This also causes an issue when trying to update PRL/Profile. It fails 4/5 times with an error code before it actually works.
Also, the wireless tether connects via 3G but hangs over LTE.
Any insight would be great.

Oh and just some more info. My LTE works great. Hasn't dropped once yet. Fast too

Yup i am noticing a huge problem with my device NOT connecting to 4G (i am in Dallas) and i AM noticing my device saying 3G but the TRUTH is its stuck on 1x. I have Mobile Signal Widget Pro and it will show 1x or an exclamation point instead of H or EVDO data. When the device gets stuck like this its a battery killer.
I too have to shut it off and turn it back on.
I also found that sometimes i have to switch my connection to CDMA only and not LTE/CDMA.

I had that issue the other night... Went away immediately when I paid my bill though... Go figure, lol.

I was having a similar issue, and I was getting an error code 1012 when trying to update profile. If it persists either call Sprint or try a data reset.

[Q] 4G drops to 1X

I recently upgraded from the Incredible to the Rezound and find that when 4G not available, the signal drops down to 1X. Not only that, it seems to stay in 1X even when 4G is available. How can I get the phone to drop to 3G when 4G not available? The Incredible ran in 3G in the same areas that the Rezound drops to 1X. What do I have to set to get it into 3G?
Thanks for help.
both my GF and I have been having trouble with this on both our phones... We both live and work in 4G coverage, pretty strong coverage too. Yet we both see 4g drop out to 3g or 1x. Its very random, and I've had it happen right in the middle of browsing the web. (All of a sudden a page takes forever to load or doesnt and the phone acts like it has no data connection, I go to the home screen and see that I am all of a sudden on 1x..)
I recently read an article that talked about how VZW actually has a pretty major issue they need to resolve pertaining to authentication on the LTE network. I don't know the exact mechanics of it, but basically the authentication fails and you get booted off the LTE network until the phone tries to hop on it again. Right now, the two phones I have personal experiance with do not try very often to get back on and it often takes going into the wireless settings page and selecting mobile networks and going in and out of that screen a couple times, or if it is being stubborn, airplane mode, site for a minute, and then back on. Occasionally I have to reboot the phone.
It really irritated me good last night when I really needed the data connection for GPS navigation because I took a wrong turn in an unfamiliar area..
Sometimes going in and out of airplane mode helps or restart.
I'm not going to say look on the forums. Here is a quote from another thread and linked another thread.
had the same issue and fixed by this.

phone will reboot and you should get 3G back
This changes your network from eHRPD back to EVDO Rev.A. For LTE phone owners, eHRPD causes 3G to die (most of the time anyway) when the LTE network has problems. Get back on normal EVDO and you're good to go.
^ from Jntdroid on another forum (not sure if we're allowed to post to other forums here) I'm not positive on where he got it from, but this is a capability of all HTC 4G phones
I've had occasional issues with being down to 1X, but even that was only during nationwide 4G network issues, definitely get in touch with VZW about that... not that they have enough sense to fix anything *sigh*

Same issue here. Only happens when I go from a 4G area to a 3G area. I end up getting stuck in 1x. The phone switches fine from 3G to 4G. But when going back to a 3G only area, it by-passes 3G and I get 1x.
No toggling helps. I have to reboot to get 3G back. I also tried that fix posted above. It does not help. Called verizon again tonight.
The strange part is before we had that 4G outage a few months ago, the phone would switch just fine. Now it's a pain in the ass.
Sorry it isn't helping. It worked in mine and done exactly the way it told me. Go from 3-4g now without an issue. No 1x like before

Mobile data "Disconnected"

This is new. My phone shows full signal bars, but data does not work (no LTE displayed in the status bar). When I look at the settings it says "Disconnected" right below Mobile data. If I turn it off and on, it will say "Turning On..." then "Disconnected".
The weird part is that I know I get LTE signal right here (at my desk at work). I've been using the phone here all week. It was working fine, then it switched to disconnected. The first time I turned the data off/on, it connected, showed LTE, and sent an email I had tried to send. Now it refuses to connect at all.
I rebooted the phone, and it first connected to LTE, and now has full bars of 3G.
Anyone else notice something similar happen?
EDIT: Looks like it's Verizon possibly doing some tower work in NYC.
its possible you have a toasted sim card. not very common but i have seen it happen before on my gnex and a few others. Good luck
Another possibility is that Verizon in your area is fixing things.
If you are in Manhattan, a couple of us experienced unstable data connection these few days.
If such data disconnection happens cross the country , then it is a device's issue, which I suspect not.

Same thing keeps happening to me. It's frustrating because it will spool up LTE with full bars, not transmit any data and then disconnect completely from data. Will have to restart my phone which normally gets me back to working 3G until it happens again in an hour or so and have to repeat the process. Toggling the data connection on and off doesn't help. Verizon replaced my SIM card but it hasn't helped anything. Hoping it's just a temporary NYC issue.

Not surprising given some of the photos I've seen of their infrastructure after Sandy. Good to hear I'm not the only one.
This could be a different problem, but today I completely lost all mobile signal, both data and voice. It looked like I was in the subway (with no data icon and a little x next to the bars) . I waited for a couple of hours to see if the signal comes back, but it did not. A reboot fixed the issue.
I would not think much of this typically, but my wife has complained about exactly the same thing. Said she had to reboot the phone on two occasions already to get the signal back. WiFi worked fine though.
Could be a bug with the DNA.

are you in NYC metro? If yes, yes, I had one of such issue today too. but it did not last hours. It lasted 1 minute or so.
I think folks having data problem near NYC may chill for now. I hope it will not persist throughout the trial window of 14 days...
I am in NYC, let's hope it's a VZW issue.

Data seems to be working today. Looks to be a Verizon issue, not a DNA issue.

My wife was having issues with mobile signal until eventually the phone could not find the sim card. She took it out and put it back in. Problem solved.
I am quite impressed with her. Coming from an iPhone, which she called as stable and boring as a microwave, she is now rocking a themed launcher, all sorts of widgets, power Toggles, settings profiles, and messing with the sim card!

I had that issue with the Galaxy S2.
Simple and fast solution: walk into a local carrier store and pop in a new one. It's free, and surely saves time without having to stress over troubleshooting it
Hi Everyone,
I got the same issue. I did a quick search on xda for this issue and saw this thread on this topic.
I opted to get the HTC One X+ instead of the DNA.
The first week I got the phone (from UK) everything worked fine and now I can't get the data connection to work.
I am currently on Vodafone.
The funny thing is, I take the same SIM card put it into my HTC One X which I got here in Australia and it works fine. No problems, always get a data connection.
However since the new HTC One X+ worked fine for the last few weeks and now it doesn't, I don't think it has anything to do with the networks.
Now since DNA is having this same issue, I am wondering if it has to do with Jelly Bean or the Sense upgrade using the HTC One +(plus).
Very frustrating. Any further thoughts about this bloody frustrating issue ?

As stated, the same SIM card when put into my HTC One X works fine. I get a data connection right away?
Update. Got it working again. Network connections are a bit sensitive.
Will monitor this issue over the next week.
So it is not necessarily the SIM Card.

UPDATE !
I still have this frustrating problem. With my galaxy note 10.1 I have 75% connection on GSM and a network connection. With HTC One X+ 20% connection on GSM and NO network connection.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Any suggestions anyone?
I have the same issue and I live in California. I think it's definitely a Droid DNA issue, not the Verizon network. I lose all mobile data, not just LTE. It happens probably a few times a day and even when I'm in the middle of a phone call. I'll have to restart my phone to get it working, but I've even had a couple of times where even a restart didn't work and I had to shut the phone off completely multiple times. This issue is rather frustrating!

Same issue here, I've continue to search the internet for a solution. I don't even know if it is hardware or software issue. It always disconnects exactly when I need it, so frustrating!!!!!!

It might not be a VZW problem but just incase go to a Vzw store and ask them if there are any down towers on the area if there aren't ask them for a warranty cpo replacement DNA. Hope this helps.

Anyone have issues connecting to 3g?

Ive read many people complaining about LTE, but does anyone else have issues connecting to 3g? Almost always when I leave WiFi range my phone wont connect to 3g unless I restart entire phone.
Sometimes Ill pull out my phone at random places to use google search or something and Ill have full bars but no internet connection (Yes my mobile network is set to on).
This problem happens next to my girlfriends galaxy which works just fine.
Its driving me nuts!
Happens to me alllll the time. I have to turn off wifi to get my phone to connect to the mobile network. Otherwise I'll be 30 miles from home and still "Connected to Wifi"
I thought HTC fixed the Wi-Fi connectivity issue in the latest ota, or was that just the one x

Originally i had that issue on my EVO LTE. but after the updates its been fixed.
Ironically my GS3 started to not want to connect to 3G after it was in an LTE area..
So i have been using my ole reliable EVO LTE..

mobile data dropping?

hey is anybody experiencing mobile data disconnected most of the time,
im on meanbean rom, and i been experiencing this ever since i got the phone is pretty annoying because i use the network alot, i have to turn it off/on if that dont work, i also try airplane on/off but i have to do that most of the time. We have no 4glte in CT still but i have not experience this with my other evos
is there away to fix this, so it could be more stable i dont think the problem is with sprint, i think is my phone,
a have also flash the night mode zip, update my prl and profile seem to help but not for long
any help thanks
This is an issue with every lte phone and it has to do with your network mode. If you don't have lte in your area switch your network mode from cdma/lte to cdma only. You should keep a steady 3g connection after that.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
yeap. most networks are now on eHRDP or whatever its called and sometimes when it loses connection it takes a while to re-establish no idea why. for simplicity sake just turn your LTE off and move to CDMA (auto PRL) for now. then you wont get any drops.

I have LTE coverage and this happens to me at least once a day. If I leave my phone off for a little while and come back to it the 4G symbol will be there but it will be grayed out and will not upload or download and eventually it will say disconnected. The only way to fix it I can tell is to cycle Airplane mode which sucks but it is what is it. Glad to see its everyone's problem not just mine.

[Q] LTE/4G/Edge/G radio switching

Hi everyone, I'm new to AT&T and HTC. I'm confused on how the networks should switch.
The area I'm in doesn't have LTE yet so lets leave this out of this
I'm having a signal issue at work. Where I sit I get 3 sometimes 2 bars (-97 to -101dBM) on the 4G network. But data doesnt work. When I use the browser it say error connecting to network and I when I run speed test it either doesnt find a tower or just sits on ping test.
When I look at mobile network type it keeps flipping between HSDPA and HSPAP. I've never see the phone change to the edge or G network unless my battery is almost dead.
Does this sound right or could I have a messed up radio? It does work great when the signal is in the -70s.
Please help. Wondering if my phone is messed up. It is still stock, locked bootloader, unrooted at the moment.

To turn off LTE, open dialer, type in "*#*#4636#*#*", then click "phone info", you will see "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto" in the middle of the setting page. Switch to "WCDMA preferred" to use only 3G without LTE. You can also choose "GSM" to use only edge network.
Is there not an App or Widget that can toggle LTE and Edge networks?
