I have a recently upgraded my HTC Evo 4G LTE to
HBOOT 2.09.4444 and the Radio to 1.12.11.1210 from earlier versions.
But I have the same issue, the phone works great except for weak phone coverage, dropped calls, and missed called.
Is there a way to adjust the antenna for better reception, or do you have to take this to Sprint?
Will they work on a phone that is rooted and S-off?
What would they do when they see that I not running their ROM?
What should I do...
Thanks
I would try to follow this guide first:

I have rooted my EVO LTE using HTC Dev and S-OFF with Lazy Panda. I applied the De-odexed STOCK 1.22.651.3 ROM and 1.05.11.0606 radio. When I toggle LTE off, I have no 3G data, but with LTE on data works fine. With LTE enabled, "Network Signal Info" reports net type as EHRPD. With LTE toggled off, net type is listed as EVDO Rev A, with a data state of disconnected.
Can anyone help me here?
How are you even able to toggle LTE off?

Just for giggles I removed the tether hack from my build.prop file "ro.tether.denied=false"
But still no CDMA 3G data... :-(
Leave cdma/lte on..

I DO realize that leaving the phone in LTE/CDMA mode will solve my problem. But for battery life reasons, I prefer to leave my phone in CDMA mode only until LTE is "switched on".

HTC has already said there would be no difference with lte/cdma being on. It's not like there's two different radios on at the same time. Cdma and lte are both built in the same chip. Just leave it alone...no need for the tinkering.

Something tells me the "fix" for my 3G data problem will be wiping my phone and reloading the 1.13.651.1 RUU and waiting for the bugs to be worked out.
Call Sprint and have them reset your data connection.

There's no difference in battery UNLESS you have LTE connection. LTE will drain the battery a lot faster.
OP, if you don't have LTE, just keep it on. As long as you aren't using it, you won't drain any faster.

I suppose I COULD leave the data connection to CDMA/LTE, but that kind of defeats my initial question. I think I might go for a drive and see if it's perhaps just the local tower causing me issues, or if this "bug" persists outside my home turf.

Did you find a fix?
I have found that after I update my profile this happens to me also. Same thing 2 phones rooted. or not rooted, s-off or not s-off. Don't matter.
Just switch to CDMA only if you updated on LTE/CDMA. Or switch to LTE/CDMA if you updated on CDMA only. This works for me, don't know why but it does. Every time! Also have found that after some time I can switch back and all is well.
Hope this helps

Well it's nice to know I'm not the only one with problems. As the saying goes, misery loves company.
As for now, I'm thinking I might just run run the RUU and go back to stock 1.13.651.1 (unrooted) for a while and see how things fare. I can "deal" without root access for a few weeks, and who knows, maybe by then the DEV community will have found a way to S-OFF the new 1.22.651.3 OTA update. I'm in the greater Boston market and we're due to have LTE switched on VERY soon. I'll save a Nandroid backup of my current s-off/rooted 1.22.651.3 in case I want to visit this in the future.

No need to s-on and ota update over this bro. Don't think an ruu will help, did not change it for me. Its not a big problem. And I think its a network bug not phone. But I have a right to be wrong.

Ok so with my CDMA only & LTE/CDMA dilemma behind me, my phone is now switching the 3G on to send and receive MMS messages. This is the first time I've seen this with my EVO LTE. Previously my MMS messages were sent and received via WiFi, which was noticeably faster. DO you have any tips to help me in this scenario?

I have had the same issue and haven't been able to resolve it.
I had 3G up until last Tuesday in Minnesota and talked with Sprint. They tried to reset my phone and then tried to do the hands free activation and it failed. I flew to Dallas for vacation, turned on the phone and it activated in less than 30 seconds.
Returned back from Dallas and still no 3G in Minnesota (Minneapolis and Central MN).
I do have my MSL, but any tips on how to get 3G data back again?
I have an Evo 3D CDMA
S-off Hboot 1.40
ICS OTA Firmware bits.
I tried ICS OTA Radio, then 2.17 Radios.
Tried the ##3282# and edit the WiMAX from -82 to -110
Can anybody help me? It says Scanning..
Connecting to sprint...

I would imagine it's the network in your area. I've had situations where 4g wouldn't work at my house for weeks at a time, but worked fine in other areas of my city. Then it would just start working again and be back to normal. Have you tried on sense roms as well as cm9?

Knowing Sprint, I would say it's the network as well. Give them a quick call to make sure it's not the network. Also, make sure you still have your wimax keys, there's a wimax key checker app in the market.
So my HTC EVO 4G LTE has been treating me very nicely.. great battery life and CM10 is smooth as ever.. the kernel I have is great and I get a 2.0 GHz overclock without problems. The weirdest issue has been haunting me lately. On CyanogenMod 10, I am unable to use the 4G LTE service that is located on a tower about 150 feet away from me at this moment. The issue is that while the phone connects to the service and I can call and text, for some reason data never works. I get 4 bars that I could only get from this tower, and looking in the phone information section of *#*#4636#*#*, I see that the tower shows up as LTE. Now it used to be that on Sense, I could turn on airplane mode, wait about a minute, and then connect to 4G LTE.. but now not even airplane mode can get me connected to it. There should be no reason that the phone can't connect to the tower because the signal, when connected, is very very strong. Does anyone know of any potential fixes for this issue? It's been haunting me that I'm located here in Dallas with a 4G LTE phone on Sprint next to a known working 4G LTE tower and people around me with Samsung Galaxy S3s and other 4G LTE phones are connected but I can't. Thanks for your help in advance.
By the way, I did search the forums and surprisingly no one has an issue similar to this in any of the topics that I checked.
Bump.

Did you post the issue in decks thread? That's where I would post, if that's the ROM you're on.

I installed the new radio from the OTA onto my phone and I thought it'd fix the problems but the problem was only temporarily fixed when I reflashed CM10. 4G LTE worked for a few hours.. but then after I went into a building, the signal dropped to 1 bar, turned on 3g, and call quality became utter crap.
I would post in deck's thread but I'm not sure the issue is specific to CM10.. I used a sense rom and for the first few hours of use it worked great and I would get strong LTE signal.. but after that I seemed to again be able to connect to the tower that's transmitting 4G LTE and in the network settings it would show up as LTE, but no data connection could be established.

May sound simple, but did u do a full wipe between roms? Factory reset? I know after going s-off I had to call sprint so they could send me an update to fix data and calls.

Yes, I did full wipes between roms including factory reset and system wipes. Only my SD cards are left unwiped.
I called sprint support today inquiring about that but the guy just had me go into ##72786# and reset my network connection settings.. didn't help the problem.. Any name to that update that I can ask them for that'll help me get it?

They should have recognized it if it was an error. So calling sprint won't do much. There's an app called network in google play store. Has the option to switch to different bands, or a lot more than any stock program will let u switch to.
Try switching from CDMA auto to Evdo/LTE or the other LTE options and roaming bands they have on there and see if it helps. Hopefully someone with a fix will see this thread soon enough. Only other thing I can think of is the ##4636# (digits may be wrong)and switch some settings in there.

Nothing of the sort fixes the issue.. I'm gonna try reflashing radios.
I'm on 1.15, S-On, HTCDev unlocked, CM10.I have the same issues.
When i reflash the kernel, LTE will work for several hours, and then I get the gray bars of doom. Oddly, I still get a data connection with some apps (Reddit Is Fun, etc.), even though the phone shows no data. It's been so frustrating that I've considered going back to sense...

Yeah that's exactly what happens to me.. and no matter my attempts to airplane mode the phone refuses to connect to 4G LTE data after a few days of reflashing.. So odd.
Just clean flashed deck's most recent build from IRC (9/19?) and I'm having the same problem as before. This time it didn't even make it an hour before LTE went away.
And after searching around, apparently we're the only people in the entire world experiencing this issue.

I.E. His statement still stands because we would still be the only people in the world having this problem..
I am honestly stumped as to how to fix this.. Sprint support can't help and I sat in the irc and people would tell me to force lte mode in network settings.. Doesn't work.. Because even though I get data connection.. I then lose the ability to call and text.
I tried paranoid, cm10, and aokp. I couldn't get lte on any of them. And phone calls were at max volume, distorting the speaker even, no matter where the actual volume indicator is.
Went back to a sense based rom and no problems.
1.12 panda hboot, s-off'd, with the new firmware.

I'm too hooked to cm10 to switch back now lol. This is unfortunate..
I'm having the same Issue. Seems to have started with a Rev of CM10 around the beginning of September. I have been running a Sense ROM for the past few weeks, but I check in every so often to see if deck's made an update. Nothing has worked so far. Anyone have an update or solution to this problem?

I am having the exact same issue as you with the "Greg bars of death". I had good consistent 4g at one point in early September (possible unofficial 9/6 build based on saved speed tests) but not since then. I have also found that having LTE off gives me more reliable 3G data.

Join the club... it's the typical LTE connection issue with the EVO LTE. Its not your phone or updates. Even a 100% stock EVO LTE with all the updates has this issue.
Hello. I recently used an app called 4G LTE Switch to try and toggle my LTE and I accidentally changed the radio band. Now the phone is stuck in roaming mode only and never switches back to sprint. I have tried factory resetting and switching roms. I am currently running HTC EVO 4G LTE SharkieRom 3.17 S-ON. The device is rooted and S-ON as I can't get it to S-OFF but thats a different problem. I would just like to get my radios working properly again.
I've been back and forth with roms trying to fix this. I started in GpE and I could turn lte on but never had signal. I tried a newer radio and still no go. So I went to stock AT&T sense 6 with ruu and now I can not even enable lte. It immediately switches back to wcdma preferred. I am s-off if I need to use that, I just have the boot loader relocked right now. Any ideas?
EDIT: Just tried HBOOT 1.56.0000, multiple radios, and still does not work. I can use LTE, CDMA but haven't been able to test to see if that connects to LTE yet. I am completely baffled by this.
