[Q] "searching for svc" and no service after flashing ec01

I have been using ec01 since it was released. First I used sfc (fixed) then about two days ago switched to evil fascinate 3.1(fixed). It was working fine with no problems. I didn't really see a jump in data speeds but gps was working great until today. I was traveling from central WI to Chicago when I lost service around the Illinois border. My phone says "searching for svc" and has no service, voice/data or gps. I have flash back to ec10 stock and tried to *228 but it will not connect and still has no service. Ive tried to flash to everything that has worked in the past included back to 2.1. Any help would very awesome as i am lost.

My understanding is to never *228 while roaming. It could connect to another cell provider and no way to get back. Others may be of better assistance with your issue.

I have also had this recently and I was about to start a threat just before reading this.
I live in SE WI and work in IL. So I cross the border all the time. My data and voice dont work at all until I come back into WI. I was running CyanogenMod 6.2.0 when this first happened. It seemed to run fine for a week or so.
I switched back to what was running good before. Now Im running jt's TW kernal, sFc 2.9.2. Last night when I went to work, it did it again. No data and voice.
Is this a USCC issue?
Any help on this would be very very appreciated.
EDIT: I just called USCC. After 1/2 hour of being on hold they said that they are having difficulty with the towers in the area. They said to do a battery pull, and then when I am in the area where I am about to lose service, dial *228. Im not to familiar with *228.
When I cross the border and lose my data/voice, I dont get a roaming triangle. Does that mean its safe to dial *228?

So after two failed calls to USCC tech support (one told me that it was just a combination of poor service and how smartphones have sub-par reception in general, the other said that that to spring bloom can interfere and a lack of towers) I flashed to stock froyo and took it to the nearest USCC store from my hotel. The tech there said there is two versions of the froyo release, a "short" version (the on their website) and a "long" version (used by the techs). He said about 1 in 50 updates done at home come in with problems. He put the long version on and I was up and running in 15 mins. So until my trip is over I will be running stock 2.2

Long version, you say? Fixed all your problems, you say? Do you think you'd be able to upload a backup of that version? Or even just the PRL? I haven't been able to get any service since it seemed to spontaneously quit on me after I flashed MIUI 1.6.24.1. My sister has also been having problems with her USCC service for the last couple of days, and I think i just chose a poor time to start fiddling with my phone's firmware.

Sprint EVO.. Latest Cyanogen and Radio.. Stuck on 1x.. HELP!

New to this stuff, but have managed to fumble through getting phone rooted, flashed and functional... to a degree.
I have a HTC EVO on the Sprint network.
Android 2.3.3
Cyangen Kernel 2.6.37.4
Mod ver. 7.0.3.1
Baseband 2.15.00.04.08
So with everything up to date as far as i know I am stuck with a '1x' for a signal.
My mom has the exact same phone except its not rooted. Stock everything and shes getting a 3g signal when shes in town.
So Im stuck here. Anyone have a clue?

Im fairly new here and by no means a dev but i believe its because you have cyanogen its telling you the actual speed you have. while the stock evo only says 3G but is really only on 1x. try running speedtest on both devices.
-also please correct me if im wrong, read this somewhere and am currently experiencing it aswell

thanks ocruz301
Can anyone else chime in and verify this?

try re-configuring your roaming capabilities. Your issue is unlikely to do with CM7.

I have looked through the roaming menu and i dont see anything that looks incorrect.
Is there anything in particular i should be looking for?

Speedtest.net results:
average from several different locations.. 15kB
around the same for uploads..
600ish latency

I have travelled a little over 500 miles around Tennessee Arkansas and Mississippi and Im getting the same thing everywhere..
Anyone?.. anyone?

So these are the steps i have taken thus far:
-updated to latest cm7
-updated to latest radio
no go
flashed to stock rom and updated prl
ran speed test.. 15kB up/down.. EVEN THOUGH it SAYS 3g
flashed back to cm7
speed test.. 15kB
Does no one else have a freakin' EVO that can just chime in and let me know im the only asshole with this issue?

I have a somewhat same problem. My phone would drop to 1x every 10 to 20 minutes and stay there for a few minutes then go back to 3g. It does this throughout the day. Luckily I have 4G in most of my area and that helps me to avoid using 3g. The moment I turn off 4g it starts doing it again. It started a few weeks ago and I don't know what caused it. Like you have have tried different Roms and Radios but no help. I'll gonna try to unroot and go back to Sprint Rom and see it that helps.

hmmmm
I run king cocoa II rom and I thnk its the absolute best ive seen but its also froyo not gingerbread

Anyone, I am having the same issue, no matter which ROM I flashed, and whic kernel PRI or PRL I used, my speed is only 128K max with 1x icon

LTE Stopped Working

I am running CM7 RC 1.61 with the 0.01.76.0703_2 LTE radio listed from the radio thread. We had LTE rolled out to our city a couple weeks ago and everything had been working great until last Thursday when I just stopped getting 4G.
I did a full wipe of the phone, flash to the newest version of the LTE radio, went to Verizon yesterday and spent 2 hours there to have them switch out my sim, call their tech support which was no help and still nothing. If I switch over to LTE/CDMA mode on my phone it usually switches back and forth between 1x and 3G never switching to 4G. I have a few test phones from Verizon a Samsung Charge and a LG Revolution sitting at my desk and both have full 4G reception all day without any issues.
Anybody have an ideas I can try or something I can check? I am honestly thinking I need to get a replacement phone....?

I don't run CM, but I believe I saw tosomething on its xda download page listing a way to get 4g to work on CM.

Have you looked at this page yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057757

Yes I looked at that page and tried all of the suggestions. Nothing has seemed to fix it. Also the suggestions from that page have a radio version that does not seem to work with my phone.
But I think that page was for much earlier versions of the CM7 RC for the Thunderbolt.
Anybody else have some ideas????

[Q] Horrible reception-- new phone development

I've started having some horrible issues with my phone connecting to Verizon networks properly. I used to be able to connect to 4G networks at my house and surrounding area with no issue, but now I've been having the worst time getting it to lock. Currently I'm connected to 3G at -99dBm in my household.
I originally was running stock, but fully rooted, S-Off. I've since switched to trying AOKP and now I've settled on Sinless GPe 3.4.7. I have not seen any real difference between them as far as getting a good connection to the network. I started switching ROMs well after I've noticed an issue, and I have not done much of anything to my phone in the last few weeks that I could attribute to the change. I've never dropped the phone or damaged it in any way.
I just recently traveled across the state and would run speedtests next to my wife's iPhone 5c and 19/20 times she'd show full bars with LTE service while I was either on 3G or no service at all. My phone will connect to 4G sometimes though, it's just not that often.
I read that there may be an issue with my SIM card, so I stopped in and had it replaced. The guy seemed very confused about the state of my phone software, so he blamed any issue I was having on the software installed. Regardless I did get a new SIM card installed. It did not seem to help at all. Can anybody help me? I'd hope to not have to go through the hassle of attempting to get the phone replaced!
Bootloader information:
HBoot-3.16.0.0000
Radio-0.89.20.0321
After rebooting my phone, my phone locked to an LTE signal at -112dBm. It does not speed test at over 3Mbps. Testing my wife's iPhone shows her at -100dBm and she was able to pull 30Mbps down.

There is talk of poor signal reception/speed in gpe threads. Cm based Roms, dunno. Try flashing a sense ROM, do some tests and report back
I recommend clean ROM or any other ROM on Verizon base

I just received my M8 yesterday and am having the same issues (both wifi and LTE) running the latest PA. Going to try something with a VZW base and report back.

I reloaded my backup of the Stock ROM and I am still seeing the same issues. It seems to connect sometimes but most of the time it will not. It seems like its just not getting a good lock. I am having trouble even using the phone at my house now whereas I've always had great service here. Doing a speed test now, the phone states 3G service, tested with 705 ping, download of 0.17, upload shot up to 58.19 (which obviously isn't true) and then froze while testing and has been here for over three minutes.

I would run the RUU and try again, and just see if something got boogered

Confirming as well that the reception isn't the greatest with this phone/radio in the so so service areas.
I live out in the country. Never had good reception with Sprint no matter the phone. Switched to Verizon with an LG G2 and service was fantastic at home for the 7 months I owned it. I moved to the M8 and now phone service is spotty at my house. It's the radio for sure. Wifes verizon moto works great at home as well.

I've had the same issue, updated radios, flash back to stock, and everything else. The radio on this phone IMO is terrible, even when it does get 4G I get like 8 mbps down with 4 bars of 4g. Once in a great while i'll get 18 - 20 down with 5 bars of 4g.

I've been experiencing the same things recently as well. It also affects sending SMS messages. I am on stock too (with s-off). Nothing changed on my phone though, it just started dying.

Never had signal issues. I live out in the boonies too. Signal is strong and switching between 3g and 4g has been smooth. I've been able to download torrents as fast as 5mb/s. Speed test results have been just awesome. As far as signal goes, it's been better than my note 3, DNA, and my wife's droid mini. And this is my second m8. My son has the first and it is the same as mine.
I would look into exchanging them if they don't keep up with other phones. The radio in this phone is actually pretty damn sweet, so if u got a funky one, I'd exchange it. Def try the ruu first, then exchange if that doesn't help.

[Q] anybody else having 4g connection issues?

About 3 weeks ago after installing the update of liquidsmooth 4.4.4 i randomly started dropping to 3g service in places that i normally had full 4g available. It has slowly gotten worse to where if im not on wifi, than the phone is pretty much useless. i normally have full coverage everywhere. so i originally thought that maybe something had gotten messed up on the update, so i did a clean install of liquidsmooth 4.4, and blackbird kernal and same thing still occurred. also tried carbon rom and slimrom, and no luck. so for the fun of it, i went ahead and reflashed the phone back to stock from backups and rerooted it, updated the modems and reinstalled liquidsmooth w/ blackbird kernal, and same thing. i have went through all the mobile networks settings and tried everything and nothing seems to help, idk if that update screwed something up or if its an issue that others have been experiencing as well, or if im just screwed and my phone phone is dying.... any help is appreciated thanks

I'm currently running OmniToad, and ran CM 11M8 for a short while. On T-Mobile at least, with the custom ROMs it's normal to see H+ only when data is being transferred; it will drop back to 3G otherwise. When I ran the stock ROM on the Relay, it would always say "4G" regardless of whether it was in UMTS (3G) or HSPA+ mode. Apps like SignalCheck or CellMapper will tell you which mode it is really in.
On the other hand, if data transmission is only going through as 3G, it could be a phone issue or a tower issue. Is LTE available in your area, or are they just getting it set up? I know when T-Mobile was upgrading the Chicago area to provide LTE, there were a few glitches here and there.
It was stupid for T-Mobile to brand HSPA+ as "4G" but that's a different rant.

yea LTE has been in this area for quite a while now, i had it with my S4 and it worked perfectly, i never had a problem with the service on the relay either up untill a few weeks ago the internet speed and and data coverage was great, not quite as fast as the LTE on my S4 but it was still more than adequate, i used to use the hotspot and stream netflix on my laptop. now i can usually get a text to send but calls usually fail and if i try and use the internet its impossible. it almost seems like its doing the exact opposite of what it should be doing, as soon as i try and use anything (not while connected to wifi) than it drops coverage to 3g/edge/ or to nothing at all. Im leaning towards the hardware failing side, but i figured i might as well give it a shot and post it and see if maybe i wasnt alone. thank you for your reply.
small note of background on me: first time posting ever in this forum but have been using the tools and roms from it for a long time, so im not a complete noob, but i definitely still have a lot to learn.
