Ive been reading the threads and i see the fix is to cycle airplane mode. But i haven't seen any explaining why. Ive noticed that if you travel to an area without ehrpd(the hand-off from evdo to lte) itll drop you to evdo rev a. But wont put you back to ehrpd unless you either restart the phone, cycle airplane mode, or switch cdma/lte to cdma only and back to cdma/lte. If this has been explained, i apologize but i can't find it
So Sprint/HTC needs to fix the hand off back to ehrpd when you get back to an ehrpd area. Chop chop

What's LTE? sh.it, whats WiMax for that matter? >.> bought Evo OG on release, online chat rep said WiMax was available in my zipcode... Never happened... lol. I live in south Miami-Dade county... still have yet to get on anything but 3G with any phone hah...
not really funny though
/rage
We've been talking about this in several threads and its across many forums. The problem has been known since the phone was in Sprint's lab before launch. They rushed it out so OG Evo people would lock back in to 2 yr contracts. They tried to fix it twice via OTA firmware but still failed. Sprint is in denial there is a problem and so is HTC. You come to your own conclusion if it will get fixed or not.
It's working much better in the latest cm10 builds. Running the 10/25 build from deck. I've been holding lte almost exclusively. And have it places even toggling it before wouldn't get me. The handoff can sometimes take a minute, but it's on lte so much in comparison to before it hasn't been an issue.

I've got no idea what the change is, but it's night and day difference between it and the sense roms.
My last test will be tomorrow at work, I've been off. But iPhone and s3 get lte and I've never been able to even with toggling and setting to lte only.
It's been pretty solid to, only real downfall is the camera isn't as full featured.

So if you were to flash a sense rom right now, your lte issues will return as well? Is there anyway you can do a quick nandroid then flash a sense rom to see if it goes back to having the same issues? I am very curious as to what the results would be. I would do it myself but I don't have lte where I am right now.
So I'm at work now, and I'm still not picking up any lte inside. But I am when I go outside.
And I picked up and held strong lte at my girlfriends place the other day, which has never happened.
So it seems it is better, but still not 100%. As an iphone or s3 would have lte in my building.
If I go back to a sense rom I cant hold onto an lte signal at her place at all. Even when set to lte only. That part i can reproduce.
At least seems to confirm software issues.
pretty frustrating having to do the airplane mode trick to get 4g back (even then it doesnt work all the time), especially since when 4g is working it's so nice to FINALLY have acceptable data speeds from Sprint.
kind of feel helpless here with this phone, I haven't gone to a sprint store to complain yet, but it's not like I can reproduce the 4g connection issue it just happens.
I think they have fixed some it on the stock rom.
I left for the GS3 about a month or two into owning my EVO LTE. My main gripe was getting stuck on 1x after driving around Dallas.
After having some issues with my GS3 after their LI3 update i decided to go back to my EVO LTE since it too has had some updates.
The week i used my EVO LTE i never had any issues with it getting stuck on 1x. It also did switch back and forth between LTE, eHRPD and EVOD/A normally. If not a little slow to switch to LTE from time to time. I did find another thread and it looks like they have the LTE scan time set to 30 minutes. Way to long if you ask me.. But i guess in a year when more areas have actual saturation of LTE then once your connected it shouldnt matter much what the scan time is.
Yes, we know they have tried twice but it still doesn't work right.

I'm curious. You bought a GS3 at full price? EBay?
I'm getting tired of this issue myself. I considered maybe switching to T-Mobile and getting the new LG Nexus, but I checked, and Sprints ETF doesn't start getting pro rated until after the fifth month! It will be at least next June before it becomes financially feasible, maybe longer.
I don't have a lot of hope that this issue will get fixed. The weird thing to me is that it's obvious Sprint values the name, EVO, yet this will effectively kill that reputation.

Well how i got it isnt really relavent to the conversation. but if you must know it was a trade for another phone i had on CraigsList.
I like both devices but to me the upgrade from ICS to JB didnt really do all that much on the GS3.
Today i switched back to my EVO LTE and am going to use that for another week.

I really wanted to like the phone, but I ran into two issues.
a) my audio over bluetooth was terrible. Compared to the Photon that I was coming from, the calls were very choppy.
b) Reception... I spontaneously went to roaming mode in my office, where I have NEVER had reception issues. the same thing repeated itself on the freeway where Sprint has always had good coverage.
I'm sure it was probably just my handset, but with the SGS3 coming soon and my Photon still kicking like a champ, I took it back today, after just one day of use.
good luck everyone.
This reminds me that I've experienced the roaming issue. I have airave hooked up, so I thought it might have something to do with that; even though my NS4G and GS2 were fine in the same config.

Going from a photon to a New EVO you would see a difference in coverage. The photon is awesome in the RF aspect.
I was able to compare my EVO LTE to an Epic yesterday in a fringe area. It seemed to be about the same.

I have acce ss to, at any given time, the OG Evo 4g, the Evo 3d, the Evo Shift, the ET4g, and now, the Evo 4g LTE. If I am having problems getting a signal somewhere, and absolutely NEED a signal, for some reason it's the Evo3d that never fails. I don't know what it is in the internals that causes it, but it's definitely true.
i think it would be pretty hard to make a decision to return a phone after one day.. but hey if you dont like it you dont like it..
You're generally right... However, going into roaming, in areas that I've used most phones in without incident, shows a clear issue that I won't risk dealing with.
I've already resigned to dealing with poor data speeds due to Sprint's network... Good calling should be a must for all phones.
Should I have expected the calling issues to go away by themselves?

I'm 20 miles west of clevland and speeds here seemed to be a lot better here also.. will check when im downtown tomorrow
I think this has less to do with PRL updates and more to do with NV. I experienced this same thing earlier this week. The increased speeds have gone since then. I also took the new PRL but am getting the speeds I normally get. I am getting increased upload speeds with the new radio, however.

I haven't seen LTE or 4G on my phone once. This is really odd because I live blocks from the KC sprint campus. I have even driven into their parking lot and sitting there got only 3G still.
I know this has to be on my end because there's no way that in their own campus in their main center they don't have a tower running it since this was the first location to receive LTE. Is this something that could be dependent on the ROM i'm using. I'm running viper 1.21 which others have said they get LTE with so I don't think it's that.
Do I need to possibly flash a new radio? Is there something else going on?
Yeah, ur not in an LTE area. Either that or Idk find someone with an EVO and see if they get LTE in the same spot.

Strange that they wouldn't start with their own campus. But I guess I was just spoiled by t-mobiles insanely fast network speeds before switch to sprint. Kinda a bad decision on my part but I thought I wanted an Iphone, until I had it a couple days and took back that turd to get another android phone. By that point I was stuck in to a sprint contract with dial-up speed.

I'm in the same boat as you brother. Since launch day I've had issues like this even before the LTE came to my area. I actually just had to toggle airplane mode a few minutes ago. The mobile data toggle would be grayed out and eventually say disconnected and the mobile data toggle would be stuck and you get no response when pressed. The only way to get it back on is to toggle airplane mode like you said. I am on 3.16 with everything on the latest firmware/etc and rocking Viper 3.1.0. Its not ROM related I've had this problem for a while and on multiple ROMs. Trust me if I could get an S3 I would in a heartbeat...

I'd suggest waiting a little while and see if the problem persists once the area is finished with its LTE build out. If the problem doesn't resolve itself, then you should take it to a Sprint store and show them how it's behaving. They should offer you a replacement if other phones aren't doing the same thing as yours in that area.
Many people say it's a Evo LTE issue, but that just is NOT the case with every Evo LTE. I for one never have to toggle airplane mode or do anything at all. I constantly have LTE at my house and in my surrounding city. When I go between LTE and 3G areas, my data has no problems whatsoever jumping between those connections instantly.

Insurance doesn't matter. The phone has a 1 year manufacturer warranty, and hasn't been out for a year yet. Also, if you're in contact, they'll want you to stay so they'll want your phone to be working properly.

Unlocking only matters if you're shipping the phone to HTC. Sprint could care less if you're dev unlocked or s-off. They can't blame it in the towers if you're in store and a GS3 or Note 2 that's on display isn't having the same issue as yours is.

I really do love this phone also. The build quality is outstanding. I hope the S3 is as good of a phone as people say. Its amazing how much more $ you could get for an S3 right now vs. The EVO LTE. I guess that speaks for itself on the quality of the S3. I'm so psyched to practically getting an upgrade and won't have to deal with this stupid problem for another year until my upgrade.

Doesn't really speak for quality as much as popularity/being well known. On ebay, an iphone 4 sells for as much, or more, compared to an Evo LTE. Kinda like a white Evo LTE sells for more than a black one. Same phone and quality, just that the white one is more popular.

So one week I have LTE at my house, and not at my work, then I get super strong LTE at work and it goes back to 3G at my house. Sometimes I get both, today I don't have LTE at either place. Does anyone know why Sprint can't just leave LTE on and leave the sh** alone???
Verizon is sure looking better and better when my contract is up in December.
Anyone else experiencing this off and on crap?

Check to see if they have officially announced it in your city.. If not then they are testing it and you should be getting LTE very effin soon =]

This happened to me for about 2 weeks and then I had constantly LTE. Before this happened my area had no LTE

Best option: ditch sprint
2 months in sprint talk is 2 years in real life. Verizon has very deep pockets even if its a little more costly they're the better option

I'm not sure what area you are in, but I'm in hartland, MI. and I was in my local store today and the guy said he had one of the tower techs in there and they said they were waiting on hardware to update the the towers so they put it on hold and went back to the west side of the state until they get more. I can't complain because something is getting done and the tower in Howell was the first one in MI. to get updated, so it won't be long.

They brought their kid to work & they kept flipping the LTE switch on and off.... Relax man they are testing it.
Its still icy in the middle, let it cook.
Most of us had that happen pre rollout, now I get a constant LTE connection.
