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?
Hi, so this month my 3G seemed extremely slow with pings in the 1000+, as well as less than 0.10mbps download/upload speeds. Today I noticed it's only connecting to 1X. This is even with full bars.
I spent 2 hours on the phone with Sprint who tried refreshing everything to no avail. They had me reset the settings within ##DATA# also.
It started some time, this month, after the last update. I am rooted, S-OFF, etc. running Stock With Goodies and even reverted back to the regular stock ROM and nothing is changed. I have the latest radios and firmwares also.
I don't have LTE in my area, but 3G is usually pretty decent. I have 3 other phones (EVO 3D's) in my home, all on 3G fine. I had Sprint activate my 3D to my line and it worked fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sprint is undergoing a major network overhaul. If your device connects to 3g fine in other areas than its a sprint issue and nothing you can do except wait for the work to be completed.

have you try doing the service reset? ##SCRTN# (##72786#) that is better then doing the ##3282# when you do the ##72786# that is going to redo the hands-free activation and do the prl update and at the same time it's going to be refreshing the service

It you can't get 3g any where you may need to replace the phone. That's what happened to me... And I couldn't fix it no matter what I did.

That's what they ended up saying when nothing worked. I'm trying to not do that, if possible, because I don't want to get a refurbished phone, as I had a bad experience with the last one I got from them.
have you tried a full ##786# reset? (it will get your phone to factory fresh condition, and erase all data)
I had the same issue, and no amount of profile updates, ##3282# resets or ##72786# resets helped, final suggestion was a factory reset which did work, be sure to Nandroid before trying it
Hopefully you don't have the same problem, I tried factory restarting it four different ways, all kinds of other resets and dialer things and settings... Nothing worked.

Sadly, I think I do.
So, as I was around town, I noticed it does connect to 3G, but only for maybe 10-30 seconds then drops back to 1X. It even has trouble holding a 1X data connection now.
So, my last option is to return it to Sprint. I have it rooted and also have S-OFF. To return it for warranty replacement, I need to remove root (I will flash the RUU, etc.) Do I also have to get S-ON, if so how is that accomplished?
Thank you all for your help.
You will need to relock it. There is a fastboot command for it somewhere.

Before you do all this... how is development in your area? Is Network Vision currently being implemented? I ask this because I am having similar issues and have for a few weeks. The reason? It was Network Vision being put into place and towers being set up with eHRPD protocol for the lte <-> cdma handoff. After doing a large search on it, it seems any areas that are getting LTE especially, and soon at that (like mine) are having the same problems you're describing. Seemingly because Sprint is locking phones out of connecting to the towers as they continue work with NV and LTE. Have you tried setting the phone to CDMA/EVDO only? This is the only option that works for me until this development is finished.

I'm in Phoenix, AZ and as far as I know, there is no NV or LTE going on. I have tried CDMA only, but same problems. I just got my replacement and it's staying on 3G just fine.
im getting this prob i apply lte only or lte/cdma and it goes straight to 1x weird...havent been able to get lte and im in san antonio where lte is live...thinking bout taking this phone back see if they exchange it
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.

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.

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 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 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.

i didnt flash just the radio but accepted the whole .11 update.
For me it improved my LTE performance and stability.
Its possible you have a ROM or firmware thats not playing nice with the flash or there was a problem with the file you downloaded.
Hi, I have similar issue. I'm in Europe for my studies and I took my US Tmobile HTC One with me as it is GSM enabled device. The thing is - even though my provider runs on same frequencies I can not get the 3G only EDGE. I've put GPE ROM on it in States and it worked good. I'm aware that Euro LTE runs on different freq, but I expected 3G to work. I run through service mode and changed settings but nothing helped. In 3G only mode, I'm getting no signal. I'm in 3G/LTE area (according to my friends euro-phones). I'm out of ideas what to do next
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.
