Rooted user with original rom
Prl was 21081 and no real mods to speak of...all of a sudden my 3G would not sync with exchange and then no regular pushes would work either.
I had to switch to 4g which is really weak in my area but it then started working again.
Went to an area without 4g yesterday and was without email for 4 hours.
That really sucked! Went to the 11115 pro and 3G is working again.
I had to also revert back to the old epst to get that working as well.
I read where others had similar issues but they had either changed roms or did a prl update from 21081 to a newer version.
I did none of those...it just stopped working and this was my fix for now!
I'm pretty sure 11115 is much better than the newer PRL's. Sprint is screwing up with the PRL's instead of making things better. I would stick with that.
I just got off the phone with CS. Same **** happened to me. Now I'm stuck with the damn roaming icon plus 1x
1X
I'm in the same boat. Stuck on 1X as of yesterday evening. Called CS yesterday and they wasn't able to help. They claim my area was fine. I will be giving them another call today when I get off. The 3G on my OG Evo and ny Nexus 4G works fine.
PS I also tried different PRLs even the hybrid PRL still 1X stuck.

I've been having this problem probably once a day since I've gotten the phone where my phone will lose data signal while switching between 3G and LTE and the only way to get data back is to restart the phone. Turning airplane mode on and off won't work either.
Ive had that issue too..but most of the time it switches back n forth no problem

I haven't noticed any data problems until today. I am unable to connect to 3G. We do not have 4G in my area.
These problems are probably bugs in the LTE System.

why should bugs in the LTE system affect 3G?
the 3G our phones use is not exactly the same as standard 3G unless you force your phone into EVDO 3G via the ##778 menu. which if you are not in a 4g zone I would recommend simply for stability. The 3G our phones use is basically a layer between 3G and LTE as I've had it explained to me.. I really don't know much else about it though, sorry. I'm sure someone else here can shine more light on it however.

oh that's really interesting. thanks for that little bit of info. had no idea.
Same problem with it dropping data signal and never coming back without restart. At least now i know its not a hardware issue
I've had the same problem lately
~John
damn.. i was actually hoping this was a small problem with a simple solution... everything else about the phone is perfect except for this one problem.
Having the same issue here....when switching to cdma I get no 3G just 1X.....hope they find a fix soon
Sent from my HTC Rezound
same here guys. call Verizon and let them know. I think it helps if a bunch of us make them aware.
I've had a ton of weird data issues with the Rezound. I get 1x where i should get 3g, i get 3g where i should get 4g and i get nothing way too often.
I've only had this happen once with the rezound. Shows nothing but bars, no data can be used. Sometimes switching to 3g or 4g in lte on/off helps.
Had this problem intermittently on both my wife's and my bolts, completely agree its just a lte being a new tech issue.
I've listened to a podcast on how the handoff works and its definitely not fool proof.

phone will reboot and you should get 3G back
This changes your network from eHRPD back to EVDO Rev.A. For LTE phone owners, eHRPD causes 3G to die (most of the time anyway) when the LTE network has problems. Get back on normal EVDO and you're good to go.
^ from Jntdroid on another forum (not sure if we're allowed to post to other forums here) I'm not positive on where he got it from, but this is a capability of all HTC 4G phones
I've had occasional issues with being down to 1X, but even that was only during nationwide 4G network issues, definitely get in touch with VZW about that... not that they have enough sense to fix anything *sigh*
Data Connection slow to Acquire (3G/LTE)
If I'm on the subway, or somewhere with no service, then come above ground, I get voice (full bars) but no data -- it could take upwards of 3 minutes+ for data to come back up. Any thoughts?
I've been losing my 3G service throughout my city, being restricted to 1x so many times lately where I SHOULD be getting 3G!(4G isnt available in my area yet). It's really annoying...perhaps nexus isnt theeee only one...
^should I try calling and programing what the user implied? Again, I am not in a 4G area...

Same issue as you. I live in a 3G area only and my 3G drops out a lot. Even a reboot doesn't get it back. Not sure what to do :/
So if you don't have a custom rom you will never know this but anyone ever see they phone on 1x instead of 3g?
Mine seems to do it randomly. I will have decent signal and be doing something on the net like IM or checking email and it will just drop to 1x and snail mode, after being idle for a few min will go back to 3g.
It doe snot always do this but seems to about once a day and has happened at home and work now so not just the tower.
Just in hopes I don't need to exchange my phone or something
Again only like once a day but I just dont understand it. I am on MeanRom right now and has happened on all versions since I started on 1.5 and doubt is his rom and just that his rom lets me see the 1x now is all.

Yes!
I recently installed that LiquidSmooth ROM and now I find my phone dropping into 1X on a daily basis.
I have to turn Mobile Network off and put it back on for it to go into 3G. Otherwise it remains stuck in 1X.
What gives?
In Cincinnati I seem to see more 1x then 3g last week or so
Yes!
Mine will cycle from 4g to 1x all the time.
I've never talked bad about an HTC product but this phone sucks!
This have been a problem since the day I pulled it out of the box.

This is not caused by the network, this is a phone or firmware issue.
I have my Evo 3d and it does not do this in same areas.
I agree the network is slow which they are working on but this 1x is the phone doing something.
I wonder if this is a result of the recent FW upgrade or not, though guess not being a previous user said from day one his did this (which not sure how he would know that for sure as people didn't know it always said 3g right away to know to modify the rom)
My rooted OG Evo used to do the same thing in the Tampa Bay area. I haven't rooted my LTE yet, but I would assume it will do it too once I root.
Ya this happens to be and the best way I can fix the problem for me is to turn airplane mode on and then turn it off and it will go back to 3g or LTE
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I'm having the same issue. Airplane mode fixes it until I find another weak signal area and it returns to 1x. It will remain in 1x again until I cycle airplane mode again--even in strong signal 55dBm fast data areas.

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.

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.

Well I spent an hour and a half with Sprint online this morning activating (well long story but its my EVO LTE). I can make call and texts but have no mobile network (3G or LTE). I have changed all settings using the ##3828# and still nothing. reactivated the phone twice and still nothing.
The Sprint rep told me that there is not much else they can do for me and directed me to call Tech Support. Great so I have a HTC EVO WiFi.
I wish I could help buddy, just wanted to let you know you are not alone.
Mind you at my same desk I had a EVO Shift, EVO 4G, and S2 all that were able to get 3G and WiMax perfectly.

I have wifi at my house and work, so i make it work. god forbid i need the gps and data while in the car!!! rofl.
Anyone know why the wifi is so troublesome? I got to spam connect like 20 times to try and connect to this one hotspot. only my evo. I miss my samsung epic
By tghe way, i am saying that i dont have any 3g or 2g data.
Have you tried flashing a sense rom and see if it works? Or once there refresh prl and profile?
Then wipe everything and flash cm10 again.
