Do not do a data restore from the dialer using ##3282#, it is highly likely you will lose your ability to make calls and receive 3G. I did this as well as others I have seen in the forum and the techs do not know the information to manually fill in to the fields when all the data gets messed up, so your only option will be a replacement phone. You have been warned.
This may have worked on previous HTC phones but is seriously broken on this one.
If you're in that situation can you try running the RUU so you're 100% day one stock and then do the same code to restore? That should get you back on your feet again.

I think for other HTC devices that works (and should for this), but something about putting that code ruins the UIC/MIC (whatever its called) and makes impossible to get back..
You just need your sprint email thing to fix the data restore hell.

I tried RUU and re-entering your username, it didn't work. It will erase your MSD and MSID too, I've seen that happen. You can fix the call and text issue on your own. Are you saying you have done a data restore and it didn't screw your 3g?

Oh no, it screwed it completely. I still had voice but no data.
That screen I showed you, was blank (the inputs were either 0 or __, after doing the data restore.
I don't remember all of the steps exactly but I do remember the last thing I did to get it working was inputting the email there.
I did a profile update afterward, just to make sure everything was kosher.
Can't you do a profile update over wifi to get your NAI and MSID back?

I don't recall this being s new issue...the information is restored by updating prl and data profile. Basically activating the phone on the network again Unfortunately that won't work if there are connectivity issues in your location

Did the same thing and messed my phone up. After all possible resets and sprint tech "help" I ended up getting a free replacement.
I have told sprint before how to fix this and obviously no one has added the notes to the system. When you do a data reset it changes the active profile to 0 which is where most people's old phones had the profile sit. After you do the reset skip the activation because you won't get a connection. Go back into the data editor and change the active profile to 1 and then go into setting and select activation. Everything should be working fine at this point and start the reactivation just fine. This really should be a sticky.

This worked for me, although it took me a couple of tries. The finale time I let the device reboot itself instead of clicking the "reboot now" option (this is after changing to active profile 1), which seems to help in these situations. that's just been my perception and nothing scientific but I think it's worth waiting the ten seconds or so.

I don't take credit for this, I just found it on this website.
Before attempting to improve your call quality, you need your MSL code. You can retrieve by downloading the MSL Reader app from the Android Market:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you prefer to get your MSL code using the CDMA Workshop method, the steps can be found in this thread.
Now, after you have your MSL code, perform the following 8 steps:
1). Dial ##3282# on your phone
2). Two options will appear on your screen. Choose "Edit Mode."
3). Enter your MSL code in the text field that appears.
4). Choose "Advanced" in the menu that appears.
5). In the list that appears, scroll down to EVRC-B. Select it and choose Enable.
6). Right below that, you'll see Home Orig. Change that to EVRC-B.
7). Below that one will be Roam Orig. Change that one to EVRC-B as well.
8). Now hit menu and select "Commit Modifications."
After that your phone will reboot in 10 seconds, or you can manually reboot by selecting "OK." That's it, the quality of your phone calls should now be improved.
I guess this info is posted somewhere else, so thread can be closed.

As posted in the OTHER threads, if you get calling issues, back this out ASAP.
Some Sprint towers don't have the codec installed.
Some roaming towers don't have the codec installed.
Airrave units don't have the codec installed.
Airvana airrave units may have the codec installed.
If you need your phone 100% reliable everywhere with no issues do NOT do this hack. It's set to the lowest common denominator for voice that works EVERYWHERE, EVERY TIME on every roamable network and everywhere in Sprint's network.

Hey RV, get that breakdancing Android back in your sig. lol, hilarious.
This definitely screws with things. Did it and was unable to connect to Sprint customer service via Sprint zone or *2, said network was busy. Tried through out the day before reverting back to stock settings. That fixed it.

It worked fine for me
I did something like this on the OG droid with Verizon back in the day, got to traveling, ended up in an area with Roaming towers that didn't support it, then couldn't remember how to change it
Needed my Nav, and it was a real mess
Should post some warnings with this
I don't really understand why both can't be enabled at the same time, so that when the better one is available, it uses that and when you run into a tower that doesn't support it, it switches to the original... Like when you turn 4G on, your phone uses 4G when available, otherwise it uses 3G or 1X for data.

What if you just do step 5 only? (Enable)
Will that let your phone use B if available but A by default?

I am on my 3rd HTC EVO 4G LTE (No Root) phone in a month. 2nd with same exact issue: after a few days of use, phone will not connect to network.
Everytime I call Sprint CSR, they tell me a tower is down in my area till the next day.
Next day I still have no connection and go to the Sprint Repair center, they order a replacement phone which goes on back order.
Everything is good with replacement phone for a few days, then by the weekend I'm back to NO VOICE NO DATA
What can be causing my phones to loose connectivity after a few days???

See if your phone will take any ## commands also check under about phone, phone identity see if your username is missing. If it is it's bricked. A friends evo just went out same issues in and out of roam wouldn't take any ## commands missing user name. I tried everything, profile updates, hard resets, etc. Nothing worked phone was never modified or rooted. I asked another member on the forum my next step was going to try and run an ruu but he said it didn't help so I didn't even bother. Sprint store replaced it with a brand new one. I have never see a phone not take ## commands before, it would just lag the phone out for a few seconds then not do anything it was weird. You might have to bring it in for replacement.
My username is there.
How should I set up my phone before taking it to sprint for replacement? I am currently s-off running viper4g lte rom.
I was going to flash RegawMOD bootloader customizer to gain “stock" look. Flash a stock rooted rom. Should I then uninstall supersu or just leave it?

Ever since I started trying the various flavor of OTA ICS, I've noticed one very significant issue. My WiFi connection goes down during the night, and I don't get emails. I use "push" email, so there needs to be a network connection.
Yesterday, I updated to the latest release 4.03.605.2, and ran a test. I set one of my boxes to ping the phone every 5 minutes overnight. It turns out that the phone stopped responding at 12:15 AM, responded for 15 minutes at about 2:55 (when I woke up and checked the phone), stopped responding 15 minutes later, then started responding by itself at 7 AM. I have the screen lock timeout set for 15 minutes, so it appeared that there was some process which would shut down wifi between midnight and 7 AM, if the screen was locked.
That's just plain idiotic. After basic phone functions, email is the most important feature of a smartphone, and HTC made it utterly unreliable!
Quick Google search, and this is apparently a known issue on some HTC phones, although searching on this forum only shows a few mentions of similar wifi issues.
Here's a thread about this issue on the One X.
It appears there's a solution. Here's more info on the problem, and mention that there's a pay app, SmartSync Disabler in the Play Store. I plan to try this tonight to see if it works on the Rezound.
HTC owes me $1.77.
I am assuming that you have played with the advanced wifi settings to keep wifi on during sleep?
settings>wifi then press menu button then advanced
I've also tried playing with the hidden power menu options but it caused my wifi not to turn back whenever I woke up the phone. Pain in the ass having to keep turning it back on all the time.
Yeah, um. Easily corrected.

Post a screen shot of your WiFi advance settings just for the hell of it. All android phones(ones i had) keep WiFi on after the screen is locked/off (Always ON) by default.
If you have already tried this then..... Kernel & kernel Modules control Wifi functions so maybe try going back to gingerbread and checking if the problem persist. If not then ICS don't likey you phone.
For those who can't be bothered to read the linked threads, this issue is related to a new "feature" HTC has added to ICS, called "SmartSync." It only has effect from midnight to 7 AM local time. During that time, this untenable feature will disable data connections. Waking up your phone will cause it to reconnect, but 15 minutes after the screen goes off, it will disconnect again. Some people have reported that it doesn't happen if you have the charger connected.
There's a reason the app I linked to in the OP exists, it's because this issue can't be resolved by changing any of the provided settings. Here's another app which tries to fix it in a different way.
It makes no difference if you have set WiFi to "always on," it still turns it off. If you use push email or messaging (like GTalk), you won't get messages during the night, unless you wake the phone yourself. It's also not just WiFi - if it were, you'd get push emails through 3G/4G, but they simply don't come through.
Here are some more threads:
HTC Incredible wifi sleep.
One S not receiving push email
One X
Evo 4G push notifications don't work
Evo 4G
Apparently, the idiots at HTC believe that no one might be sent important emails from 12-7AM, and that no one works third shift. They broke ICS with this stupid, undocumented, unconfigurable change which turns a decent phone into a piece of crap.
FYI, ViperRez has the option to disable SmartSync. Haven't seen it in any other roms, but to be fair I haven't run any other Sense roms for any length of time.
This is a sense 4 feature supposedly so if it's such a big issue ... Then don't use a sense 4 Rom....
If you get one of the disabler apps working then score one for you.

Unfortunately, it will re-install itself after you reboot your phone even you perform "Forget" or "Delete" it. ( yes, I have PM uninstall all T-mobile packages already )
Anyone know how to delete it or what it is?

This is not related to Wi-Fi in any way. Notice how it simply says "Saved networks", then below "t-mobile.com", it has "Wi-Fi Networks". This implies, as far as I'm aware, that it is not Wi-Fi, but rather your cellular data subscription from T-Mobile.

However, I also have T-mobile branded Samsung A32 5g but it does not re-install "t-mobile.com" under [Saved networks] menu after I delete it. That's why I like to know if I can prevent auto-install after I delete it.
FYI, I have already PM uninstalled all tmo packages.
I want to say many phones ago I had a similar issue with a package that happened on one phone and not another. What I remember of it was the AOKP guys went digging into it and they found that on the tmobile branded version of that phone in the original rom it was buried deep enough it couldn't be turned off. I am not sure if it was the same package but I do recall it had something to do with their wifi networks.

Yeah I see what you mean. I'll still leave this as a possible theory until it's 100% confirmed.
Has anyone ran across an issue when changing from WIFI to mobile data that it doesn't switch? Usually when I leave my house and get into the car it doesn't switch to mobile data and I need to restart my phone for it to connect.
I'm seeing this issue, sort of. Not sure if this is the same that's happening to you though. After leaving home/wifi, the phone shows LTE or 5G but the data doesn't work (at least for some apps, I'm not sure if it's all or not).
Restarting does fix this, but for me swapping back and forth between APNs will also fix it for some reason.
Yeh happens on phone as well, as you said the only way to get reconnect is by restarting the phone, really annoying i hope sony will address this issue in the software update
I am on the latest image and I have this problem as well. I hate to be spending time with either Sony or T-Mobile support to find where the issue is. I'm not even sure if T-Mobile will care; they'll probably tell me I'm using an unsupported phone... sigh...
If this issue is not resolved and if the upcoming Galaxy phone happens to come with an sd-card slot (low chance), then I'm returning my Sony and switching to that. So far not impressed with screen brightness for sunny days outside either, and not thrilled about over sensitive or not sensitive enough, dual-personality finger print reader. So my reasons to return are starting mount up...
Oh one more observation. If I try to force connect to another network like ATT, wait for that to fail, then switch to auto-connect right after, then 5G icon comes and I get internet connectivity restored w/o having to restart. This seems to be the only workaround. Otherwise switching mobile data on/off, or switching in and out of airplane mode doesn't do anything.
And... I'm sure I can do this trick when I naturally lose service then come back into service where I only get voice, but no data. This is the thing that most pisses me off. I can anticipate switching in/out of wi-fi and apply the workaround or reboot. But I can't keep checking my phone to see if I constantly have 5G coverage, which is spotty at times to begin with T-Mobile.
Really frustrated with this here....
I had this problem, so did a search and found the same problem with older Sony phone. He said what fixed it was changing the apn settings. Wish I could find that web site again. But basically checked my default apn setting, and it was missing some info. I made a new apn with the correct T-Mobile settings and deleted the old one. And now I don't need a restart to get mobile data working. Never would have thought that would be the fix. Hope this helps

This did the trick!!! Thank you very much! I don't know if Sony was trying to be smart to include the "T-Mobile" APN in the phone, or T-Mobile pushed both "T-Mobile" and "T-Mobile US LTE" APNs over the air, but when I switched from T-Mobile to T-Mobile US LTE, the issue stopped exhibiting.
