Sometimes you have to flash that modem twice for good measures and after booting follow up with *22899 to update roaming. Which ROM, kernel, and modem you on anyways?
I am STILL having modem issues, I used the packaged 2.1 that was liek 400 megs and had modem kernel and stock eclair all packaged up, and i have done the official ota upgrades to the newer eclair AND now to froyo and STILL having the modem issues...
someone PLEASE help.....
Have you tried flashing JUST the modem? Try the EC01 modem in the Development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029436
ONLY flash the radio in Odin. Like vi3tboiii54 said, sometimes ya have to do it a second time if you don't see a change upon bootup. Godspeed.
have you updated your prl?
I have now just tried to flash the modem multiple times and I am still getting the same problem...i dont understand how this is possible, and as I have no warranty (bought it on clist) i am screwed.....
*228 is your friend...
I've had that problem since the first froyo modem (couldn't really ***** to vzw then and just used the DL09 modem) and I've *228'd my brains out. Got fed up took it in to the store bone ota stock with speed test installed. While rep was playing with the device it locked to 1x in a store with network extenders, lol. Got a new device on the way no questions (I know that's no help to you op). I just knew once the ota hit that this issue would be more prevalent on many devices. And that's indicated with all the new my signal sucks threads in the last week.
good day.
Looks like it might be a VZW issue. VZW iPad 2 3G's are having problems with 3G dropping.
Can't post link yet, but just Google "Verizon Wireless 3g issues" under News.
The workaround is "re-enabling the 3G radio then rebooting the entire iPad".
iPhone's caused issues on the AT&T network and now the iPhone and iPad are probably causing network issues on VZW.

If you are having 3G signal loss issues, please post your build date and modem version here:

Build date can be found by pulling battery and looking at number next to 500V (E.g. 10.08)

You've got a new device on the way??? Awesome. Finally. Hopefully that will be a .......wait for it........
good day.
I installed ComRom when it was released, did not go to ED01 modem. Was not having any 3g issues until this morning. Yesterday I was pulling 1.9mb download and 1mb upload. This morning, 3g keeps going out on me, and its pulling .1mb dl and .3mb upload. Seems real wierd, I never changed the modem at all. I hope itsa verizon problem.
http://community.vzw.com/t5/4G-Discussion/ATTN-Verizon-Reps-ref-LTE-outage-ETA-for-repair-and-other/m-p/513354
Verizon is having issues. Not the ROM or Modem.
Just did a side-by-side test using my ChromeOS notebook on my Verizon connection. Phone on desk, notebook on lap, less than 20" between them.
Notebook gets 1.38Mbps down, .37Mbps up with a 219ms ping.
Phone gets 55kbps down, 10kbps up with a 948ms ping.
At least in this area, it's definitely not the network.
My fascinate gets stuck in 1x all the time also. My wife's doesn't. So I called Czech and my new one is supposed to be here today.....
I have the problem pop up on the occasion. Whenever i get stuck on 1x or no data, I just put the phone into airplane mode for 10 seconds and 3g returns after exiting airplane mode.
Hello Friend Citizen! You have come to this thread because your 3g is not working correctly. You may have a 1x lock or even no data at all. It is important that you follow these steps:
1. DO NOT PANIC
2. DO NOT DECIDE TO BADMOUTH A ROM/RADIO/KERNEL ETC. (its not their fault. Honestly!)
3. Breathe.
4. See step 1.
Now that we've gone that far, let me first say that VZW is having network issues. Due to these issues, they have been causing phones in different areas and even random phones (not always your friends in the same area) to lose 3g. This is affecting the Fascinate as well as the ThunderBolt, the PALM PRE and many other verizon 3g and 4g phones.
On the offchance that it is actually a modem problem, simply backup your rom and restore to stock via odin. Test out your 3g and if it is still lost, relax and restore your rom and wait for VZW to get their act together.
You can use the DL09 package in this thread to test the stock radio.

Probably not the correct place to post this, but great thread
yeah, mine literally went out in the last 30 minutes, tried *228 option 1 and after rebooting nothing changed....but now according to the network *228 is "not a valid number"
anyone want to conspire about how this could be a part of implementing the "if you're rooted we will deny you data access" drama that was floating around recently?
Nahh...
Double-checked with a coworker who also has a Fascinate. Bone-stock DL09 and she has no data right now, as well.
I've gone back to DL09 several time running stock, unlock, non-root...and 3G still wacked.
Let it OTA update to ED01 stock (took damn 3 hours) and still wacked
Took it to verizon store to show them a vanilla stock ED01 with 3G issue. They confirmed the hardware was hosed and will be sending me a new one.
I also went to the Verizon store an hour ago to have my phone looked at. The rep called a tech and apparently he said that my phone wasn't receiving any data from their side. So he reset my data and wamo.. pages are loading, the market works, and I'm still on dl09 modem. Going to flash EC01 and see what happens. Definintly something wrong on their side of this.
any links to the data outage information?

I don't think it's the hardware, Verizon is having confirmed data issues. Their 4G network went down earlier today and all devices fell back to 3G, which is now having issues. Mine actually came back a little while ago only to disappear again....it's a flaky network at this point. The guy at the Verizon store doesn't have the ability to assure you your hardware is hosed. That was opinion.
On the phone with a tech right now. Let's see what they can do for me.

just took a poll in the office out of the 5 devices I checked 2 are stuck on 1x (a fasc and a tunabolt). The other three (2 fasc and one inc) are fine.
weird how random it is... all 5 devices are rooted, rom'ed etc..
3G is starting to come back for me. Its sketchy and slow but before as soon as it would pop up if I tried to use it it would flake out. Now it works most of the time but its like its really under a heavy load.

no its not. its the same thing. there is no functioning 4g network in the world. the "4g" that the networks are feeding us is just a slightly increase bandwidth aloted to certian phones. 4g is a gigabit network and requires different hardware in the towers. the load of crap that the networks are shoveling as "4g" is basiclly the same as you calling your cable company and increasing your cable modem speed. they are simply increasing the landline bandwidth to allow for increased use.
the problem comes from vzw not properly anticipating bandwidth demands after "4g" was launched.
Honestly I lost my 3G while messing around in the **772. I ended up just calling tech. They had to remove what ever identifys me on there 3g network. Then reactivate.. in seconds my 3g became active.... Though the tech was confused to why I was showing me roaming.... and yes data roaming was unchecked and system select set to home... But never the less I'm good now.....

I've had my Evo LTE since launch, and have had call issues since the beginning. I came from the OG Evo, and knew Sprint had bad coverage in some areas around me; but this has been much much worse. I would say 4 out 5 calls drop immediately upon connection. I will have half or more signal when I call and as soon as it connects it drops off and I look and there are 0 bars. Oh, I'm also not in a town which has the updated network/LTE. I had done the HTC Unlock immediately, so I was nervous about trying to take my phone back. But thanks to this amazing guide, I can get it back to stock. Has anyone else had issues like this fixed by getting a new phone?
My main question is who do I take it back to? I have the BB Black Tie insurance, so I was thinking that would be easiest/quickest exchange. But I wasn't sure how they would react since there is nothing visibly wrong with the phone. And I'm sure as soon as I get in Best Buy it will work flawlessly .
are you in an area that is currently undergoing Network vision updates? In my area (Chicago suburbs), sprint acknowledged that the NV upgrades were causing problems.
I constantly get "no data connection" when I have 3 bars (not roaming) :/

I'm in north okc and have the exact same issue. I've been in numerous lengthy phone calls with sprint about this and I'm on my second phone to no avail. My girls phone is the same. This phone does not like the okc area whatsoever. I remember my 3d was the same. I am currently at the point of leaving sprint for this. I love this phone but its driving me crazy. And let's not get into peak hours data drop.... I'm so frustrated with sprint right now.

Well, I think I'm going to go back full stock tomorrow and run it by a Sprint repair store. Guys in IRC channel recommended I have them check my radios. I work with a guy who has a Samsung on Sprint and doesn't have great signal, but better than mine! I'm so torn right now, I know if i switched to Verizon I'd have great LTE signal all over town, but I wanted to support Sprint and see if they could fix their network. Now I'm regretting it but stuck in contract. But then again if I were to switch, there aren't really any phones I'm interested in on Verizon...
I love this phone but, I am.pissed and tired of repair stores, and sprint technical, and supervisors, and credits. They can see that most of my disconnects are device related and still won't switch me to another device or something. I really don't even want to switch. But, I totally believe its network being upgraded and this device is designed for something other than what's offered in my area.

Send it in to htc and have them fix it. They warranty it for a year.
I had one that dropped calls but my second one is perfect.
Well, I'm going to try to get to the Sprint store later this afternoon. Will update here with result. If it's just their **** network, think they might let me out of contract if I ***** enough? If they do, then where do I go? I freaking love this phone, but if it can't make phone calls I can't keep it...
--Update--
I went to a Sprint store on Saturday to see what they said. As soon as I mentioned dropped calls and crappy speeds he started apologizing. Evidently they have begun the network update in Oklahoma, which means that a lot of towers are down or not at normal capacity. He said this has been going on most of the year and that the network should be back at normal capacity by the end of the year. He also said he had heard LTE by June-July of 2013, but was just a rumor. He reset my profile and PRL and said it might help. I'm going to stick it out as of now and hope they can produce a solid LTE network. I do really love Sprint and their fight for unlimited data, just hope they keep it up.
Dropped Calls
I, too, have had terrible luck with calls dropping with this phone. I was on the OG EVO and did not have these issues at all. From looking at this site s4gru.com I do not believe that my area (Indy) should be under any network updating as of yet. However, it also looks like Oklahoma should not be, either - so maybe they started early
In the end...my old EVO did not have issues up to the day I upgraded, and the new EVO has had issues since day 1. I do not believe this is a network issue, but more of a hardware/radio/phone design issue. I hoped the newest updates (including radio) would help, but I am still dropping calls way too often.
Hey all,
A few weeks ago, I switched from MeanBean to Jelly-Bam ROM. At the time, I thought this was a Jelly-Bam issue, but I'm pretty sure it's not now. When I switched ROMs, I noticed that my data was slow. I work in Baltimore County, MD and lost my 4G signal. I have occasionally seen 4G at home since I noticed this issue, but it's rare. I typically only get 3G and often it's less than 1MB/s. I tried switching back to MeanBean and that didn't help (I had updated the radio before switching back, I would think that would only help). I have updated my radio (currently running 1.12.11.1210) and that hasn't helped. What made me think it's not the ROM is that my wife has a stock Evo 4G LTE and she also has slow data speeds. BUT, my brother has an S3, also on Sprint and in the same town and he's getting 4G fine. I do have my have my Network Mode set to LTE/CDMA (actually on Jelly-Bam it's LTE/CMDA/EvDo). I'm running Jelly Bam 7.8.0 (CyanogenMod version 10.1.0-RC2-jewel). Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions as to what could be the problem with my phone. If I can provide more information, let me know and I'll get it for you.
Thanks so much in advance.
Baltimore and supporting areas are still going thru LTE upgrades, it's still on-off for some areas. Annapolis is lit 100% as far as I can tell.

Is your evidence of the S3 pulling in 4G while your device does not anecdotal or have you performed a side-by-side comparison? The answer to this will help us narrow down your problem.

Unless things have gone backwards, I don't think that is the case. I used go get 4G in Baltimore. I've seen as high as 25MB/sec, maybe even higher. Now I don't see 4G ever down here. (I've seen it a few times at my home in York County, PA since this issue, but it doesn't last long and the fastest I've seen is maybe 5MB/sec. But most times its 3G and less than 1MB/sec.)

My evidence is based on my seeing absolutely no 4G at the time (I've seen a few few times briefly as noted in the post above.), while my brother who is less than 1 mile away see's great 4G (faster than his home wifi so over 15 MB/s). I have consistently had terrible speeds around town while he consistently has good speeds. No, we have not stood side by side and done a test, but I know how my signals used to be and how they should be and I'm nowhere near that.
I was actually near the Key Bridge last night and where I usually get LTE or at least have in the past, I got solid 3G, I tried airplane method and reboot, switching from CDMA back to LTE to no avail. Soon as I got back into Pasadena the LTE was solid. I never was sure about the differences between the Samsund devices vs. HTC but for me, the signal is sporadic which in the past has been due to Sprint upgrades. Hope it gets better and check out the SG4RU site for specific information about your area. Thru have a ton of info that will let you aware of the work and or upgrades in your specific area in Baltimore.

It just doesn't make sense to me that Sprint reception would decrease by so much and (as far as I can tell) completely lose 4G coverage at my work and mostly lose it at my home at the same time, while my brother continues to receive great service on his S3. I just don't see how that could happen.
Does anyone have any other ideas? Any ideas what could be wrong with my phone? Anything else I can update? Any settings for me to check that I might have missed? (I feel like I've check them all, but I'm up for anything at this point.)
Thanks in advance. This is driving me nuts.

I'd like to throw my own recent experience in here.
My wife has the OG Evo. I have the Evo LTE. While I do not get LTE in this area, I still get 3G coverage. The other day, out of the blue, my wife's 3G quit working and she has next to no service while I have solid coverage, and yes this is side by side.
Call me crazy right now because if what I am about to say, but I have this inkling of a feeling that Sprint is directly behind her almost completely losing signal in an area where 3 towers surround us to attempt to get one of us to call in, complain, and get coerced into an upgrade (she's due for one as of June 1st, go figure right?
I've noticed this happen whenever I was due for upgrades on my older phones too such as the Hero, Moment, etc... if I could pinpoint what they're doing, if they're doing anything, they'd be in some majorly serious ish.
So, I called Sprint and they walked me through #72786# update on my wife's phone. Apparently both of our phones were "off the network". We went through it for my wife's phone and it put it back on the network, whatever that means, but it didn't improve her service. They're now telling me our options are to take it to the nearest Sprint store with a repair center (the closest 2 are about an hour away each) or pay the shipping to return it to HTC.
They told me I could do the #72786# update on my phone and that it would not get rid of my root. Does anyone know this to be true? I'd like to try it on mine since they say it also is not "on the network". Because it does a firmware update, I wanted to check to see if that would interfere with the root access on my phone or my ability to gain root again, should I ever get rid of root.
Which brings me to my next question, if the above is safe for my rooted phone, I try it, and it does not work. How do I go about returning my phone to it's stock configuration? I've read a little about RUU, but haven't been able to figure out enough of it or where to get the RUU to feel comfortable doing it yet. If I do an RUU, will I be able to get my root (and s-off) rights back on my phone? How about if they try to bring my phone completely up-to-date? Is there a way to root currently up-to-date phones?
I know I've packed a lot of info and questions in there, but I would really appreciate any help and answers that people can give me. Thanks so much!!

No, she is not rooted. So for now, I figured I'd start with trying this on my phone. Unfortunately, the MSL reader app wasn't able to read it. I'm actually in an old version of my phone. I'm going to install my last backup and work from that since I'm somewhat hopeful this will fix my problem. I might as well do it from my latest ROM. I'll have that up in 10 minutes or less and I guess I'll try to work through your instructions...
If it works on my phone, I guess I'll go through it with my wife's then. I have everything important backed up on mine. I'll have to check hers real quick to make sure she doesn't have any recent pictures, but I think those should be on Dropbox. I assume it will tell me before I might have to do that so I'll know to double-check everything if it comes to that.
Sorry if I've asked any questions that are explained in the instructions...I just wanted to reply and now I'll continue reading through them.
Hard reset on your phone will wipe everything in data/app as well as your internal sd. Your external will be fine as well as your wife's external however she will lose all apps, sms, mms, call logs, bookmarks via stock app, as well as any system settings.

I guess if it tries to dial and says "The feature code you have entered is invalid" or something like that, I'm not golden...

Sorry I'm not familiar with jelly bam is it sense based? You don't actually dial it the last # should activate it... Aosp roms will not work

Yeah, I didn't dial. But when I hit the last #, what I entered before goes away and nothing happens.
Will these changes stick through a new ROM update? I guess I'll try them on the last stock save I have and then try to restore my MeanBean ROM (the last ROM I had that worked with 4G...Jelly-BAM seems to be what broke it.).

Yes these will stick through Rom updates. I know epst works on meanbean, viper, operation jellybean, and the sense 5 port from my personal experience.

So I got a replacement phone in, Since it was stock it reported 3G. But it is a known issue that these phones will never display 1x on the status bar. So I do not know if the issue was already present. Here is what I did
HTC Unlocked phone
Flashed TWRP 2.6.3
Installed SuperSU
Rebooted
Flashed ViperROM 4G
fastboot flashed boot.img
Hand Free Activation initialized. Updated PRL as well.
1x. Tried doing actication again, same thing. Factory reset. Same thing.
Flashed stock rom. checked connection with *#*#4636#*#* still 1x.
Rooted phone, flashed latest firmware. same thing.
Factory reset, with stock deodex rock, Handfree Activation, PRL. PRI udate. same thing.
ANY advice would be great at this point. The sprint store is something near useless unless i get a techie

Have you tried updating your PRL & Profile? That may help...

Yes I forgot to mention that, I have done it a few times. After rooting and S-Off it asks you to do so. Ive also done it manually after the fact. no luck
Did you have 4g in your area before? If not, there's a strong chance that Sprint is working on towers nearby. I had to deal with about 2 weeks of incredibly horrendous data and dropped calls while at home. Now, we finally have 4G. Not great, but certainly better.
While I could be wrong, this is just something to keep in mind.

Yes we had 4G for a while now. I did a chat with sprint, they tried to do something on their end but it did not resolve the issue. on my end they asked me to update profile again. no go. they are escallating the issue. grr
When I first s-offed my evo, sprint locked my phone down and made me call them to ensure of something. I forgot what it was, but my texting would not work, couldn't call anyone, and data stayed to 1x. Then i called sprint from the phone and then they said thank you and blah blah blah, i had no clue what she was saying cuz it was so fast. But after, it all worked as if nothing happened.
