[Q] Wi-Fi connection issues - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I use an AOSP (paranoid android) based ROM but I've had issues with this on cyanogen mod also. Wi-Fi doesn't seem to connect very well and I'm wondering If there is a fix it like the GPS fix that I can flash?
Thank you!

Is it a Comcast router? (Known incompatibility issue)

No it's an AT&T router

I have the same issue with my Gateway router (AT&T Uverse). Once I get it connected it's usually pretty stable unless the phone sleeps for awhile, then I have to reconnect. When connecting to other networks I don't have this issue.

Yeah it is an issue with CM and ATT 2wire router. Your options are to get a new router or keep hitting connect in the WiFi settings like an idiot until it finally connects. This was so aggravating for me when I had ATT.

there's wifi issues even on stock. really annoying how wifi doesn't wake up after going to sleep. have to cycle it on/off many times a day.

Me either. Never had this on sense. Now that GPS is fixed this is the last major issue.
Although it does moderately make me feel better to see it's not just me!

3g during voice call?

So, I know CDMA shouldn't support this.. but I have it. Huh?

The Rezound and Tbolt support it
Yep rezound has svdo so it works

Yes, kind of cool. I was using it the otherday while on speakerphone .
The 3G the thunderbolt and rezound use is eHRPD which is what allows it

So does it only work on 3g or also on 4g? If you're in an area with good 4g would you have to go through settings while on phone to turn off LTE to then use the 3g?
Whether in 3g or 4g, the Rezound and Thunderbolt can do both voice and data at the same time. Other 4g devices must be connected to 4g to do it.
Can anybody confirm if wifi tether continues to push data when talking and in a 3g zone.
I was using Verizon's tethering the other day and pushed an email through while on the phone. Thats why I came looking for this thread. Holy crap this is the happiest day of my life!!!
So, yes, I can confirm that tethering continues in 3g while on the phone.
Why is this not listed as front page news? Or one of the phone's top benefits?
That explains why I was getting IM's in Facebook while I was on the phone and 4G is turned off. Hah.. Good phone. thanks all. Suck it iphone! lol

Just confirmed WiFi Tether (rooted) works while talking at the same time, in 3G.
Noticed last night that one of my game asset downloads made significant progress while I was on a long call. Wondered why that was. Glad to hear that's a feature we got with our new toys.
gotta love it!
i <3 Rezound
We have dual CDMA antennas, one is 1x and 3G the other is 3G and 4G LTE

Notc connecting to LTE fixed

For some reason i could connect to LTE for about 30 seconds before my phone would revert to 3G. no matter how many times i updated prl or profile.
Solution: used Network from app store to switch from CDMA+LTE AUTO to LTE,CDMA. now getting lightning fast LTE all the time.
Nice.
I was having the same problem, could you explain what you did exactly? There is an app called network that allows you to change this?

Which "Network" app did you use? Play Store shows like 19,000 apps when I search on just "network"!
Thanks!

I'll try this out, I've been dialing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting lte/cdma, this may make it easier to switch

Just remember...the resets when you reboot and keeps your phone from connecting to ehrpd (i think)
Still running tests

Working good for me as soon as i changed the settings.... Been on lte since then without getting on 3g.... This is good...

Whats ehrpd ?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
App works well, good shortcut..
I just have to set it back to cdma, lte+evdo/auto when I leave an lte area.. Then 3g/4g/1x hand offs appears to function normally..
Lte+cdma lets me maintain 4g down to 1 bar otherwise it drops down to 3g for no reason I can tell..

Enhanced High Rate Packet Data (eHRPD). eHRPD is an enhancement of 1xEV-DO (AKA HRPD) that enables LTE to CDMA handover.
00mred00, do you know a way around this problem? I'm just not getting LTE if I don't change my network like this. Seems odd that we should have to do this at all. Is this a problem of the freshROM or a coverage problem or what?
Thanks for the intel.
It happens because sprint has flipped the switch early and less than half of lte towers are on and are still not fully powered up. The 3g signal is stronger (although slower) than the 4g.. Sprint has said that there lte isn't fully functional and that it's currently mostly for outdoor use

I will have to try this next week when I am in an area supposedly with LTE on but it's not accessible
Yes! This works! I was having the same issue and sprint stores and tech support could never help! This definitely is the fix. Makes me so angry that it is just a setting on the phone. The people at the Sprint stores were insisting that there was nothing wrong. Dirty liars.

This is pretty much what I have found here in Dallas. I am not convinced we we need a permanent solution for this reason.
For example...the areas I have to do this in are not officially up and running yet. (keep in mind not all of the "orange" is officially up yet either)
I continue to test it. Right now I want to say Atlanta is the furthest in completion

Possible network issues

I live in a 3g only area, and today my phone has started showing 4g sporadically.
When the phone shows 4g my data stops working and then all data cuts out and 3g comes back.
I'm running viper Rom with snuzzo kernel. Could this be a software issue? The Verizon website does not have my city listed for current or upcoming 4g availability.

if you know you are in a city with no 4g and dont plan on getting it soon, why not change it to CDMA only? The phone might think its getting a signal from a 4g tower and its causing it to switch like that

This has never happened before today, so I was hoping it was me getting 4g in my area.....
I tried the cdma only setting, and my data as a whole is spotty now. My wife's thunderbolt is doing the same thing now.
Is this what its like when they flip the 4g switch? Does anybody else remember when 4g came on in there area?

they might be testing the 4g radio in your area and it that might be causing it. give it a couple of days, if it doesnt fix you might want to as a vzw rep. for me it was back when tbolt launched when we got 4g
What ROM are you using? I know that on some ROMS, like cyanogenmod, it's actually best to keep phone on the setting that supports multiple data modes.
I live in a town of 15k and we just got 4G, so u may get it after all...

Wifi issue with Evo LTE

I have encountered a rather odd issue and am at a loss.
My download rate is atrocious (approx. 250–300 kbits) but my upload speed is about 5 mbits. I have isolated it to my EVO which I just activated and started using on my Wifi. Obviously the bandwidth is there based on the upload but no matter what I try; resetting the modem and router, isn't working.
Stock evo lte on most recent firmware.
Any help you have to offer is greatly appreciated.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Have you checked your download speed with another device, just to make sure it's your phone and not something else, like the router/network?

Yes. Both my lappy and tv are chugging along nicely via Wifi

click WI-FI frequency band

2.4Ghz only
try that. It might be trying to bounce between 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz
Still crap speeds. Ugh. May be my router and phone just aren't meant to be friends.

Changed my router from auto to G only.. Finally getting the 15Mbits per second I'm paying for.
It would appear to be a software issue, hopefully one of the many that is fixed if we ever get JB.
Thanks to all those who provided feedback on this matter

4G LTE issues

I have a question about my 4G issue. The only time i can get 4G is when I select 4G only in the command settings, but then i don't have voice services. Is there a fix or a know issue about this issue im having? This happens with any rom i flash.:crying:

4G on the EVO is garbage. My S4 is picking up 4G in areas my EVO never has and with great speeds in areas the EVO had picked up 4G. Not sure about your issue though. Update PRL and Profile?

Weird thing that I have noticed is,
I have perfect LTE (25MBps up) when I run Stock Android 4.2. CyanogeMod 10.1
Any Sense Rom I run it has no LTE. When I select CDMA/LTE it won't connect to Data at all. When I select CDMA it will connect to 3G.
I hate it and have never found a fix for it. So I am stuck on 10.1 with not a lot of updates. Which is fine, but I like to switch back to Sense everyone once in a while and when I do I am forced to use only 3G.

i know that's what I have heard as well. My phone is weird, but it runs perfectly on stock Android so I can't complain too much!
Mine connects to 4g lte without issue as long as I'm running meanbean or stock with goodies. On several other rom's I had problems connecting. Not sure why.

No, if I remember correctly you're picking up sprint lte, it just thinks it's verizon or whatever carrier you're roaming on.
Also, OP, have you tried switching to another phone, then switching back? I know that sounds weird but my brother was having data issues on his virgin mobile phone and that's how he fixed the issue lol

No. Your 2G network which controls voice is roaming. However your phone has an established 4G network connection. Sort of like being on wifi and roaming. Your calls go through the 2G network while the data is being handled by your wifi/4G. Those signal bars are strictly for your 2G connection. 3G and 4G have their own connection which is not viewable unless you dig into ## settings from dial pad. Sprint don't have any 4G roaming agreements with any other carrier.
