. I noticed that while my phone ( today.. ) was sitting on the desk next to me, the signal drops. Im on 4g no problem , full signal on Eclipse CDMA rom. I have an xt912 model.
Its weird, the signal will drop from blue 4g, to gray full signal no 3g or 4g. Then in about 15 seconds the 4g icon will pop back up. And while it looses the 4g icon, the screen turns on and then turns off once it connects again.
Any idea on whats going on?

My wife and I both have the Eris with the V3 leak. We live in a bad are in Pennsylvania as far as mobile signal is concerned and even our phone coverage is through an extended network. We have always had 1x mobile signal in our house and starting yesterday, I have started getting a 3G signal at home but she still gets 1x. Has anybody experienced this before? I live in 18337 are code. I have tried turning her mobile on and off, turning the phone off, but hers comes back to 1x. We have had the phones for about 6 months and have always had really slow 1x signal at home.
Question for people who switched from Evo 4G to Evo 3D.
Is anyone else noticing markedly weaker phone/3G signal strength as compared to their old 4G?
Mine is showing next to no signal in placed that my 4G showed full bars, and it pops in and out of roaming in places where I previously had decent Sprint signal.

I am having horrible reception problems. I have to sit on a window sill to get reception at my apartment where my Evo 4g got atleast one bar. Driving on a major highway here in Rochester NY, l watched my phone have one or no bars all the way into downtown. Roaming has been turning on and off.
Went to Sprint Store and the Rf tested my phone and said everything was fine, but my phone still seems to bounce around signal strength wise and usually ends up with one bar or less in areas where I have never had reception problems before.
As for 3G, it was running really, really slow until I called sprint and did a factory reset which has seemed to fix the problem. I'll know later if it fixed the signal strenth problem as well.
Sprint store and RF test just dont sound like they go togehter.
Definately sounds like your device is having some issues with CDMA.
Hi everyone, I this problem has been driving me nuts. I looked for similar issues, but non exactly like the one i have.
Since about a week ago, My photon keeps dropping the signal meter to 1 bar or occasionally 2. If I toggle to 3G from 4G i get more bars for a little while.
The problem seems more prominent when connected to 4G. If I make a call with 1 bar, as soon as I hit the CALL button I get more bars on the meter. When I hit the END button, it goes down to 1 bar instantly. This is always repeatable and sometimes backwards. on the rare occasion that the phone is showing 3+ bars, If i make a call, it will drop a bit, then when i end it, it will instantly rise back up.
The signal in dbm ranges from -95 to -85 inside my house according to an app and the stock android "About" menu. Surprisingly If i watch the dBm in real time, I notice that a stronger dBm, most always results in my signal meter(bars) dropping to 1.
The phone is fully stock, running 198_6. I have tried to SBF and no dice, still the same.
Sprint says there is no problem in my area and that my area should have close to full bars or a great signal. I get 3/3 for 4g inside my house too.
Im a noob at this, If anyone knows a solution please give a shout.
thanks!
This might seem like an obvious case of signal strength, but I have to ask because it bugs me. If i'm inside my house and my phone is sitting on the arm of the couch or something where I'm not touching it, I'll turn it on and it says I have 4G LTE with 3 bars. Less than a minute later, it jumps off of LTE and goes to 4G with the same signal strength. I thought it might be the radio, so I updated to the 4A.16.3250.24 radio suggested in the radio thread, and it still does the same thing.
Any ideas, or is this just a signal strength issue?
EDIT: Happens outside, too.
I've tested my phone for 2 weeks before I decided I would post this thread..from what I've found in my house I will have full signal bars all around..I use my wifi because it is a lot quicker ..now when I am on wifi my mobile signal strength goes down..When my phone sleeps and I power screen back up my mobile signal will be zero bars and it will be stuck there..so I turn off wifi around nd restart my phone..of course all 5 bars are back and I have perfect service..until I turn back on wife then it happens again..I've Updated prl and profile a few times..I'm past my 14 days Idk what to do

If you live in a stucco house then your inside a giant Faraday cage. 4G is suppose to penetrate better but I wouldn't know. Sprint does have Femtocell's but you have to go to the store twice for them to give you one. If it keeps up or you live in a stucco house then a Femtocell is the solution. It's the towers not your device. If your on stock rom then what you see as signal probably isn't realistic anyway. It will show 3G when it's not.
