This seems to work better for 3G!

I find this below to work better than the *#*#4636#*#*. Seems like 3G is stable now. I have yet to see the 1x since I did this. It does turn 4G completely off though. From what HTC support says they are working on a fix for the radio, camcorder, txt, and battery issues. I was told an update when it comes should set it back to LTE. We don't have 4G yet so a good 3G signal that sticks instead of dropping out to 1x is fine by me til they get it fixed.

Are you on WiFi, because ehrp whatever is what allows you to talk and surf, putting it on rev a is just putting the phone on the old non talk and diem network.

Wifi off and it still works. Must be that it just turns the 4G off. I get email, txt, can put the wife on speaker and look at forums on the web and browse sites no problem.

I thought it was known that you can use 3G and talk on this phone at the same time. You don't need 4G. I used it once just to see that I could. I'll probably never use it again.

ehrpd is not the talk and surf thing. It makes the handoff between 3g and LTE work properly. Without ehrpd all your data connections will reset when you go between evdo and lte

All this like does is show you how to set your tb so it will stay on 3G and not 1x, which it kills the 4G. I see no point in having 4G search if I'm not in a 4G area. Plus it helps that battery issue a bit too.

Girlfriends Exhibit suddenly lost data signal?

My girlfriend is out of town right now visiting a school and called me tonight saying her data has suddenly stopped working. She does not have the data icon in her notification bar at all.
I asked her to verify that it was not in airplane mode, and it was not. I am not familiar with her phone and am not sure what else to try.
Her phone is entirely stock and on T-Mobile. Until today she had full 4g capability, now seems to have no data what so ever.
Any suggestions on what I could have her try?

Did she contact T-Mobile and verify there is service in the area she's visiting, unfortunately T-Mobile doesn't provide service everywhere

Yes she has been there 4 days and had it up until this afternoon. Knowing her, I've got a feeling she somehow disabled it. I just didn't know if perhaps anyone would know of some way she may have done so other than turning on airplane mode.
For example, my fascinate has a mobile data toggle on the notification bar, hers does not, but I didn't know if there was one elsewhere maybe.

There should be an option to enable/disable data in settings under wireless networks.
On this phone it's settings, wireless and network, mobile networks, enable data packet. It might not say exactly the same thing on the exhibit, but it should be close to that.

Would this help everyone with signal issues?

eHRPD*is basically a layer "on top" of EVDO Rev A to help make the 3G/4G handoff faster and more efficient. By nature it's not the best solution, but all they had to work with until the new*chipsets*come out. eHRPD is the reason LTE phones can't even hold a good 3G signal when LTE is struggling or down, while your friend's 3G only phone is standing strong. Get rid of eHRPD and the phone will function like a normal, solid, 3G only Verizon phone. Currently the only chipsets that allow you to truly "get rid of" eHRPD are on the Rezound and Thunderbolt, buried deep in the modem settings, but accessible (and changeable!) nonetheless.*The fact that it's showing eHRPD while the signal indicator is "locked" makes me think that it was struggling at that point, and is not inconsistent with the way it sounds like it's been acting. To be honest, and I'm no expert so take this with a big fat grain of salt, it looks like you're phone is struggling with the eHRPD just like they all do when LTE is weak or down.*

No one with some insight ?

I think its more of an antenna issue. Maybe a good antenna mod is needed.

I too have been heavily researching this exact same problem.
Using "phone info" if I select EVDO only I have absolutely amazing 3G speeds. But I lose the ability to send and receive calls or text messages.

Turning a Infuse into only a Music Player/Camera?

I was thinking about purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Music Player 5.0 for my mom but for the price/specs I notice a used Infuse is a better deal. I was thinking of just buying a used Infuse off ebay and turning it into just a Music Player/Camera. Is there way to make the phone work with out a sim card? and without it displaying no sim card?

Yes u can use it wothout the simcard but will show a sign in the status bar that there in no simcard.

Thanks for the info! Do you know if I will have any problems browsing web pages or accessing the market place with only wifi running and no sim card?

You will have no problems...I do it all the time, the HTC vivid is my main phone so i rarely have my sim in my infuse...market works, YouTube works, browser works...everything works as long as you have WiFi...if you don't have WiFi then obviously things that require internet will not work

I gave my daughter my hd2 when I left t-mo. I put android on it (basically the only way that phone was usable) and she uses it for games and YouTube just fine. I even found an app that was free that gave her a phone number and a way to send and receive texts with as long as she's on wifi. Next time I'm playing around I'm going to see if I can use that number to sign her up for a voip service.
Android is a wonderful thing!

You can use Google Voice in conjunction with app such as Talkatone, get a number from Google and make/receive free calls and text over WiFi.
I use this setup with my N7 and it works great.....no data plan or phone service required...and even better, these are free apps!!!

Also set the phone to airplane mode. Then toggle on wifi.
Airplane mode may stop it from searching for phone radio signal and conserve battery. I don't know if not having a sim card in will already do that.

Airplane mode on her phone is constant.

[Q] No calls when on 4G?

4G is flying, but I have noticed my calls automatically go to voicemail when the RAZR is on the 4G network. It doesn't even have to be in use, they just get rerouted to voicemail. A friend doesn't have that problem on 4G with his SGS3 so I'm thinking it's not the network?

Definitely your device, I have my 4G on whenever the phone is on and haven't had a single problem. Actually, I had my tethering on a couple days ago using 4G and was browsing the web on my phone at the same time and when I got a call from the lady friend, the data connection continued without a hitch. Sounds like you may need to consider a replacement, unless someone else has some info I am not aware of. Good luck.

Same here I get calls while using 4G

Yup no problems getting calls when on 4G here either....

Telstra firmware made calls go through when in 4G but then mobile network had to be manually re-engaged... I flashed the JB from SFR and now no incoming calls. Seems to be a baseband/fw issue?
Anyway did flag it with my provider maybe it's a possible bug. Who knows.

Hmm... does sound like a baseband issue. I would almost try hard reset? I have never heard of this before. I'll stay active in this thread though if nothing is resolved via your provider. Nice speedtest, by the way

Doesn't work. I am going back to ics tonight this jb sucks on my Phone
Also, wipe and reset didn't work. I'll retry tonight.
