What's going on, guys?
I got my MoPho 4 days ago and have been having trouble connecting to 4G. Sprint says there's nothing wrong on their end. Is there any kind of diagnostic I can personally run or is there anything I cam do to fix this because I it to a repair center and they said they could nothing but reprovision it.
Along with that I've been having super slow 3G connection speeds as well. The Sprint store refuses to replace my phone and over the phone isn't any better. Is there anything I can do?
Btw, I live in the middle of a 4G zone, Staten Island, NY.

3g speeds are horrible right now on Sprint, not sure whats going on. But I know that it is all over the nation. As for the 4g, find a wal mart, you should have full bars and have no connection issues.
If you do I would suggest you try to get a replacement if you are completely stock. Hope to god your not asking this question with an unlocked bootloader. lol I doubt you are considering you said you took it into a repair shop, they would have laughed at you had you tried that I'm sure.
I haven't been able to connect to 4G in a couple days myself. Hope it gets resolved soon.

So sick and tired of this...spent 6 months fighting with Verizon about data outages daily with the Charge, not to mention numerous replacement devices and trying every modem that came out. Now the Rezound is pulling the same crap. I've been with VZW for over ten years and get treated like an idiot not only in their stores but on the phone. No data whatsoever today and even replaced the SIM...AGAIN. What gives?!?!

A lot of people having the same problem today. Happens every few days I guess as they tweak 4g
I tried to tell people for months in the Charge forum that it was the network doing that, not the phone but NOBODY wanted to believe it.
Now, my Wife is using my old Charge and it is no better or worse than my Rezound as far as losing data periodically.

wait, so you guys are all getting outages?
my 3g won't come on half the time, other times it's just 1x, other times its just bars...and i sold a reszound today that wouldn't pick up 3g, and i just had a guy with ab ionic come in and tell me 3g was turning on and off by itself all day and he can't get data.
i'm in central NJ
I'm showing no service at all :/

OK just called up to confirm, they said people in my area are seeing 4g outages and problems, so yeah it's a problem. interesting!
Oops, my particular problem was that I had the back off, so no antenna heh. Though I'm only getting 3G, so I guess 4G is problematic in this area...
yup, seems to be a common thing these days

There is nothing wrong with the phone, we had the same problem with the TBolt - it's the 4G system acting up, not the phone.

Just bought my Rezound a few hrs ago. They told me that 4g was down, and wouldn't be up fully again until around 11 or so tonight. Therefor, I also cannot activate it until then. She also tried to talk me out of buying it 3 times. What gives there?
In South Dakota.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
she's clearly a typical salesperson who probably tries to push the razr because she probably gets the spiff on it (thats if its a corp store.) what was she telling you to get??
either way, mine activated fine, and it wen through, but 3g just didn't come on..i didn't know there was an outage though until another customer came in telling me it was messing up on his bionic
I didn't give her a chance to push another phone. Instead, I made her tell me why "more than half" were being returned. She stated constant reboot, bootlooping and software problems. Said something about a software update coming, but didn't know when it was supposed to come.

Hello. I've lived in the same place since 2003 and have had sprint since. I've always gotten superb signal but after taking my evo 3d in for screen replacement I have zero bars of signal in the same house. Could they have done something to break my good connection?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I would call sprint and ask them if there's a tower down. It's possible that by coincidence they took one down at the same.time your phone was fixed.

A simple screen replacement wouldn't do that. Like the above poster said, the first thing to do is call Sprint and see if there is a tower out. If not, were you rooted when you took the phone in? Normally, whatever you take the phone in for, Sprint will fully update it. Perhaps they updated you while you were rooted.
lmao. ummmm are you guys kidding me? lol most companies will lie to their customers and say they're down just to shut up the customer. lol. But I highly doubt it is a tower. I'd say they screwed up your phone. But easy way to figure it out. I forget the name of the app. but FIND OUT WHAT TOWER YOU WERE REALLY ON! Chances are you WERE NOT ON a sprint tower. Sprint is ONLY GOING TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR OWN towers. They won't have any idea if it belongs to someone else normally.
But who knows. wouldn't hurt calling them. does your phone work other places? what towers are they working on?
Call from a landline, they have you do a few things with your cell. They are also able to check your signal by phone, save some gas and time

wait? who has landlines? lol. just kidding. but for real. most people are dropping their land-lines these days. I hate mine. I need voip. But yeah. could work. But that's hoping that you get the right tech that knows what he's doing. When I've called in... Most of the techs don't know their butt from their mouth. But still worth a shot.
3G speeds Chicago. Took only prl update NOT software update and am experiencing actual USABLE 3G speeds!,very exciting stuff just hit 2.1 mgbs down on speedtest. Net app. PRevious best prob around 1.5 but that was off peak. Anyone else in chi or burbs seeing same?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Actually yes. I'm in the southwestern burbs.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
ive noticed this also
I'm in chicago over by elston and lawrence, and my speed tests just got me 500kbps down, 60kbps up. This is pathetic 3g coverage, and its with full bars and its almost 11pm at night.
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.

im out of town in vegas at the moment and doesn't matter how many updates you get your gonna get pounded (screwed) when it comes to 3g when on the strip so when im back in lemont (little south west of chicago) ill do some tests. i averaged 1.1mbps at my house and crap everywhere else so hopefully this update fixes everywhere else thats not my house haha
I live in Plainfield and have absolutely horrible 3G. (just started a new 2year about 5 days ago) but to my understanding theyre implementing 4g LTE int othe towers and upgrading the 3g network aswell.
No wonder sprint has unlimited data, their network is crap.

I hear you and that is completely true now. Ironically two years ago on my og EVo at the M. Bay events center( I was at a conference with a workgroup) I was the ONLY one of us to get great download speeds (or even a stable connection actually -Nada on vzn, tmo, att). Now, I maybe it was tower placement, but Compare that to what you are experiencing now, but and I experienced while there in May. W.T. F. H a p p e n e d I just don't get it?

Hey I do too, how's it going neighbor?
I have decent 3g, as shown above, at least since the PRL update. Haven't done the OTA yet. I'm near downtown Plainfield though, close to where the YWCA is (and that middle school) by Wallin. Are you on the southern side?

Hey neighbor! Im by catonfarm and countyline road. Close to Plainfield South High School.
I have noticed better speeds and connectivity since the PRL update.
im still nervous about doing the other update
Anyone in the Northwest Suburbs experiencing issues with service? I can make calls, but only receive calls when I'm talking on the phone already. I'm also having problems receiving text messages. I will get them about 45 minutes late. Was wondering if it was my phone or an EVO issue. I didn't have any problems with my original EVO.
Also, tried to update prl, profile, the works.
In the downers grove area, close to Lombard.

Oh you're over by that CVS there... I'm actually heading there in a minute, haha. I haven't S-off'd my phone, due to the risk of soft-brick, and now it looks like I have to for the OTA, which is irritating. I'll admit, I'm nervous about this too. I just want kernel source to allow devs to get CM9 or AOKP going so I don't have to worry about any of this business.

I have the same issue, and can even reproduce the behavior by calling my phone from my wife's. 9 out of 10 times it misses the call at my house. Strangely enough, if I toggle GPS on, I consistnently get 8 out of 10 calls... that's without an active lock too. Very strange to say the least.
I've noticed huge improvements! When I'm at the gym tomorrow I'm going to try facebook out cause whenever I tried before it would take forever to load. I just can't wait for lte to go live for us in the suburbs.

For those of you in Florida and having no data service. Sprint has confirm that they are waiting for the info to what to come. Something is happening in Florida that they can't explain.
So no need to call Sprint with complaints people. Get on WiFi!
They have advice me they will call me with details of this issue.
Really Great customer service!
But if this keeps up with the Internet connections I will have to change provider service.
I have 4 more days to decide, before the 15 days ends. I will really miss this phone
though..

Naples here. I almost stay at 200-300kbps at best. Maybe MAYBE get 1000kbps at like 3am. I get 1x here and then. I keep telling myself that it's the LTE work that makes it like this.
And I thought it was my phone when it happened LOL
This morning at 5:29 a.m. my data just stopped working even though it did show I had a 3g connection.
Lakeland FL.
I clocked in to work at 6:00 a.m. worked 2 hours then took a cig. break and it was finally working again though the speeds were slow when usually @ work I've been getting 1700kbps to 2050Kbps (yeah I know hard to believe) but it seems that they already upgraded that tower since a couple of months ago cause before I used to get 100's 300's , I get the usual 300kbps at home (which I don't really care cause Wi-fi takes over)
Thanks everybody for your input! Seems like we are good to go..Let's hope to see something real good to come in Oct-November zone!
Jax FL 3g seems fine. slow speeds on highway but more speeds increase in crouded areas.
