I have the Galaxy note 2, which is getting awesome 4g reception. My wife is using the Evo 4g Lte and I can't get it to pick up 4g anywhere. She is currently running Meanrom 6.5 which is an ICS based rom. Any suggestions on what I can try to make this work?
I did check to make sure that I was on CDMA/LTE.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for responding! I have not updated firmware /radios. I will work on this today. I did not think it would be necessary just to receive a signal but I will try it.

Ok...I am getting ready to jump in and do this. I just want to make sure that I am understanding everything correctly. I am going to stay S-on. So that be said, I believe that I need to do the following:
1)Make a Nandroid Backup
2)Relock Bootloader
3)Install the latest Ruu (RUU_JEWEL_CLICS_40_S_Sprint_WWE-2.13.651.1_Radio_1.12.11.0809_NV_SPCS-2.45_003_r
elease_277028_signed.exe) I believe this is the correct one?
4)Unlock the Bootloader
5)Restore Nandroid
My current Baseband is (1.12.11.0809)
If I am missing anything or if the above file is not correct, please let me know!

You are going to run into problems with this plan, when you take the OTA you will be updated to the latest firmware and baseband which will update the touch panel drivers. When this happens your will only be able to run a rom that is based on the 3.16 software. If you do a nandroid restore to an ics rom your touch screen will not function. You would be better off running one of the 2 s-off procedures: dirty racun or facepalm s-off, and then updating the firmware and radios through Captain Throwbacks update files.

Interesting find, I'm experiencing the same no 4g, I went to Baltimore and had no data connection. I took the ota after rooting and htcdev unlock w/ s-on. Ive never seen the 4g signal ever. I can however use the phone and web simultaneously. But it always says 4g

maybe a hardware/case issue
I have the same exact situation. I have a sgn2 and my wife has the evo 4g lte. We live in San Antonio and have great lte signal on my sgn2. I was looking at some info on the antenna on the evo and found out which contacts were associated with the lte signal. So I adjusted the contact prongs that touch the back casing. Low and behold i started picking up consistent 4g signals on her phone inside our apartment. We tried everything else and no dice. The 4g would pick up and then drop off. The signal reception was just to weak. Doing so even helped boost 3g signal and speed. Hopefully this may help others so give it a try. Just open the back case and gently pry up the small metal prongs that touch the back case. Be careful not to break them. Just move them enough to make good consistent contact. And like everyone else says, I am not responsible if you break your phone. Use at your own risk.

do you think an outerbox would make a difference or not with the slight adjustment?
i just pulled the two on the left up slightly...to make it a little more elevated. i think i will test w/o a case today.
I dont think the case would make a difference. Just make sure the back cover makes good contact with all of the gold prongs.

I ended up taking the easy way out. My local Sprint store was just ordering galaxy s3 for anyone that came in with an evo. I added insurance and 3 days later went in with the phone.

Okay so here's my deal. In my area I know that we have 4G, but my phone doesn't pick it up, its only on 3G. Sometimes if I play around with the hidden service menu I can pick up 4G but as soon as I send a text message, it switches to 1X until I reboot into CDMA+LTE/EVDo. Even when selecting that mode, I only pick up 3G even though I'm in a 4G area. Some background info: I'm on GB firmware and radios and running NeoMax 1.1 based on the latest leak. I'm also S-On. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Yeah, if you've tried everything else, you should run the RUU (your choice, but why not run the latest leak) and then do a factory reset from hboot...with the stock recovery. That has helped a lot of people.

Alright well I'm trying to mess with the service menu again, rebooting it now and just cleared cache and dalvik. Gonna see if this does anything. If it doesn't, i'll factory reset in the morning.
turned out while changing radios to debug SMS delay I borked 4g. flashed stock recovery,cleared storage/factory reset,flashed amon ra,flashed random ics rom,xfer internal stuff I backed up,wiped everything,restored viperrez backup and all good with 4g working
I'm completely stock and this keeps happening to me randomly. Super frustrating when I know I normally have 4g and it happens (home, work, anywhere)
I went in and they put in a new SIM but it still happens.

I just wanna talk about how much i love this phone now. I was on the GB radios(which i though were hotsh*t) and on team venom i was having data drops so i decided to take the latest firmware and after i got it:
HOLY FRICKIN S***.
These radios are absolutely amazing.
I'm in Long Island, New York for vacation and the service isnt that great since its an island. (I was satisfied that i managed to hold a 4g connection on the ferry ride over but that was before i upgraded). When i got to the island data was awful. Very spotty 3g and 1xRTT. Since i upgraded to these awesome radios i've had 4g in places i didnt before and it hasnt dropped yet.
Now onto the next part:
Me vs. My Dad(Rez vs GS3):
So before my little upgrade i was having fun bragging to my dad about how his radios werent as good as mine and how i got 4g when he was stuck on 3g.
Now after I just dominate him. Hes getting really mad and is thinking about taking his phone back to the store to get a new one because he thinks its messed up. Where i held a 4g connection for a span of 20 minutes he had it twice for a span of 7 minutes. I just keep telling him that Samsung radios are awful...
I just thought i'd share how satisfied i am with these radios and how great they are. So if your on the fence definitely take radios, if not the firmware

It would make sense to have better battery life since your getting and holding better signal therefore your phone isn't having to work as hard. But yeah the ****ty radios on Samsung phones is the reason I can't make the switch to a nexus or a gs3. Whenever I compare to my friends nexus or gs3 I have Way better signal.

I loved my rezound till i got a gs3 lol. They are both great phones but my rezound just collects dust now. I havent noticed a real difference in service between them. The gs3 works in all the same places my rezound does. The only problem I ever had with the rezound radio is that it will say you have good signal when you dont, like have 2 bars of 4g but cant get any data. I dont think you can always go by what the phone tells you I think the bars lie lol. You want great batt life get a gs3 it gets over double what the rezound does. But to each their own I have both phones and they are both great but that being said my rezound is getting ready for ebay lol.

its not lying. the bars have nothing to do with data connection. the bars are for voice and sms
I agree with poison. It took me days to finally decide to take the full ruu. (I'm s-on did it for hboot and radios) AND the main reasons I did was my WiFi tether its download speed was droppin in and out. Along with my 4g for that matter.. I maybe held three bars all day for mms AND calls. And it was useless to even keep my 4g on. But now with the latest sense 4 kernel the radios from the update And viperrez rom. I'm getting excellent battery life, and I havent seen less than full bars or any 4g fluctuations.. finally remember why I bought this phone to begin with now on to kernel source..

+1! Or 1000! My radio already rocked in Cleveland, but now the battery is lasting longer and it's running MUCH cooler, even when I've had the screen on for an hour! Love it!
S-Off Rocks! Who knows what Rom I'm on today!
I'm having several issues with my phone and am on the verge of selling it and my OG EVO and getting an S3 or S4.
I stupidly purchased the device during the pre-order period last May (b4 any user reviews were out).
I'm rooted and running a stock ROM by Viper: Stock Rooted 3.15.651.16 Odex
3.15.651.16 710 RD
Android 4.1.1
Kernal 3.4.10-g 014d33e
Hboot 1.12.0000
Unlocked via HTC
S-On
TWRP 2.3.1.0
Baseband 1.02.12.0427
Radio version unknown
TWRP version 2.3.1.0
I don't know what radios (forgot where to find that info).
My issues are:
Random re-booting several times (3 to 6) per day.
Very rarely connect to LTE (and I live in L.A and work downtown).
On the rare occasion that I do connect to LTE, my apps (like maps) report, "This app requires a data connection", and I am un-able to access the Internet (but they work when the 3G icon is displayed).
I have read opinions that we should update our phones firmware to receive the latest improvements. However, xHausx has a post with links to firmware files, but he recommends NOT updating your firmware if your phone is S On (which mine is).
So I'm thinking of trying another ROM b4 giving up. But I'm unsure if there is any advantage (or dis-advantage) for me to update my firmware.
I want to stay mostly stock. I would prefer to keep Google Now. But after almost one year and still unable to use the LTE network here in Los Angeles (rumored to be nearly 50% complete), I'm about done waiting. The 3G network is painful, and I'm in effect paying $85 a month for 450 voice mins and email, but not much else.
You are on really old radios for one thing.
Not sure if that will solve your issue or not. But it's worth a shot. I would s- off the phone and then do the firmware updates.
Your baseband #'s are the radios.

Ah!. Well, tells you how long it's been since I've delved into this.
I assume I can S-Off even though I did the HTC unlock?
And I still have the constant re-booting issue to fix. Factory reset maybe?
You can use FacePalm to S-OFF you will find it in Original Development it takes about 5 minutes or less
Then you can update all your firmware manually using Captain_Throwback's firmware files
Any questions shoot me a PM

I just got the firmware and radios updated this afternoon, so I'll be checking it out fr the next couple of weeks to see if it does any better with Internet and LTE.
As far as where to sell it? That depends on where you are. Ebay is great for most people, but it takes longer because you have an auction to deal with.
Craigslist is ok if you're in a densely populated area. I'll probably use EBay if I do sell it, just because I'm willing to take a little time to get the best price.
But I'm hoping I can fix my issues because I still have 14 months left on my contract, and Sprint doesn't pro-rate until about 6 months into the contract. So I'm probably looking at about $300 to end it.

Does anyone know if there is a way to improve or boost the phone's signal. My phone is rooted, unlocked, s-off, and I just updated all the radios, but the signal and data connection seems terrible. I live in downtown Fort Worth so I would think I would get a good signal but its rare to get full bars and when I step inside of a building it drops to 1 or none. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

You could always pick up one of these and stick it on the rear cover to be mashed in between contact points. LOL

Stretch the contacts for the antennas under the rear cover. It made a big difference on mine. There is a thread about it somewhere on here, but it's been buried for a long time.

I would love to be a guinea pig for you. My area has T-Mo LTE and refarmed HSPA+ bands. I can always pop in my coworker's T-Mo sim and nandroid to test for you.

i was actually working on this before the phone bricked with the sdcard init.d script i wrote....which i guttman wiped of my computer and obliterated its existance lol...i was getting very close with getting 4g with straight talk...its their tmo based sim so it may work with tmo as well

yeah, read about the bricked phone. which is why I opted to be a Guinea pig for you.
Hope Neo works his magic for you. If anyone can fix a Rezound, it is our resident Machine known as Neo.

Ya lol....i think he can pull it off...im a linux based programmer professionally and i tried all methods except using a jtag riff box seing as i dont have one lol...even fly helped me go over the steps with no luck...i could get it to read with io unlimiteds fix (which didnt fix it) but not the actual fix...so faith in the rezounds robotanity will be restored by the great Neo lol
Edit: Once i get the rez back im gonna try this apn / build.prop / lte tweak that should definately work for 4g tmobile and other gsm based carriers (granted they would have to set up the proper apn's) @Uzephi if you want i could message you the stuff to guinea it now
