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
I have seen many threads talking about basebands, but I can't find anyone clearly explaining in which country/region a given baseband in supposed to work well, and where it doesn't.
I need a Gingerbread baseband for my Optimus 3D that will fully work in Latin America region, I'm afraid to get in trouble if I flash the european GB baseband I found in this forum, and loose some (or all) frequencies in my country.
Thanks in advance!
Me too. I'm in Canada and when I flashed the euro gb baseband I lost all connectivity.

I know these boards have picked up a bit but it's kind of depressing considering all the action I see when I check up on the Sensation threads for my other phone. You'd think that because this phone is so sweet and comes completely unlocked there would be a lot of development going on.
Good Afternoon!
Just for fun I thought I would flash the recent GB KDZ file posted.
Still having the same issues registering on the network. :/

I flashed latest KDZ file for o3d even though i have a thrill 4g and 3g and all other things work great except i don't have 4g to test on this country

I have no idea why it's not working. Both AT&T and Bell use the 850 and 1900mhz frequencies for their respective UMTS networks, but up in Canada we can't even get the phone to recognize our network. I'd be happy with 3G speeds for now, but that's not even possible. I wonder if AT&T uses other bands for 3G speeds as well?
My phone is a P920 of European origin and have had to put the 3G baseband of a Thrill. This in Froyo. Also the one I have worked p920h.
Until no one KDZ for America or get a baseband for this continent, you lose the 3g frequencies 850 and 1900.
Keep in mind that the baseband is independent of the rom, which means that after installing the baseband you can put any rom, whether European or American.
The Ginger there so far is European and therefore everything is lost that frequency.
Sorry for my language.

Good Evening,
I wonder if a baseband from another Gingerbread device could be modified to work with the Optimus 3D. What about one from an Optimus 2X?
Just a thought...I wouldn't know where to begin!
just a quick question, my carrier works under 2100 Mhz I am located in Costa Rica, if I do put the euro version will the network not work....
---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------
my question is since I do not live in Europe, what exactly euro open means
I'm using euro gb fw, and everything is working fine, although I have an edge icon instead of 3g, think it's cause of the region can't remember if it happened with my old x10.
this can be an issue unless it's showed like that when not having data enabled
edit:
I'm on a 3g network and I have edge enabled :S, we need LAM baseband Q_Q
I happen to be in a 1900 umts AT&T area, but it was too spotty and I went back to Froyo. Though for those of us who have to wait, I have a froyo custom kernel with init.d support below (thrillz) that I've been running on my p925 on the roadrunner rom.

I figured I would install the GB KDZ again.
For no apparent reason after the reboot I was registered on the network (Bell) and have had no problems as of yet (Only has been an hour or so).
I wish I had an answer as to why it worked this time.
I will keep you posted!
Thanks, Audi.
yeah I'm in Canada too and eagerly await some usable Gingerbread with fully working baseband.
Apparently Rogers is one of the last carriers to get on board with Gingerbread and is holding up LG.
ARRHHG!

Good Morning,
My device is a Rogers device unlocked and used on the Bell network.
After flashing the V21a Gingerbread KDZ a second time I am having no issues at all!
I wish I could tell you why it worked this time when the original baseband flash method and my first flash of the V21a KDZ both resulted in network issues.
I didn't do anything differently the second time I flashed the KDZ and was immediately registered on the network. I have had no issues since lastnight.
I will let you know if anything changes!

Hi Audi.
Thanks for the info. I guess since you got on the bell network, the rogers network should also work? Maybe not actually because rogers GSM. Is your connection Gsm Too? I am a bit nervous flashing kdz file. Its not standard zip flash through cwm is it?
I also worried about flashing baseband.
Do you know if I have made nandrroid backup of my 2.2 and need to restore, will my backup flash 2.2 baseband back on automatically?
Thanks .
I use the same gsm network as at&t think it's the same as rogers, I randomly get dc from the network but comes back fast.
I think you should be aware that maybe your 3g network won't work using euro open fw
i'm always on edge :S

Hello!
When running speedtests I average between 2.5 and 5.5 Mbps (depending on the time of day). This is pretty much what I saw on Froyo. No complaints here!
Thanks, Audi.
Hi audi
How is your phone running lately? Any lockups, slowdowns, disconnects or anything? Full hardware working including wifi? Do you get 3g icon or edge?

Good Evening,
The phone is running great. I currently have the Acura ROM installed.
Battery life is an incredible improvement!
The icon I have is "H" (so 3G not HSPA+ yet); and the speeds are as previously mentioned averaging between 2.5 Mbps and 5.5 Mbps depending on the time of day and signal strength.
No random disconnects; voice and data (3G/WIFI) work without issue.
Thanks, Audi.
Good morning.
I have a problem ..
I have a Nexus S I9020A and installed the ICS of the beam, but not really like.
But now the problem is that sometimes I get no network! and I can not make calls or send messages ..
already moved to the radio KF1 and this happens ..
Last night everything was ok, but today morning it was with this problem ..
Rebooted and is now working ..
what can I do?
Now I have the new rom of oxygen with the kernel of the franc.
Thank you!
Well, now I went to an area where the network is low, and sometimes do not even have.
Turns out I've been moving in the part where I choose the network automatically or manually, and now when I have network, I get no service, and it appears over a triangle with an exclamation point to say that the network tmn is not available, or something like this ..
I too would like a fix... I just bought the phone coming from a vibrant thinking, sprint, 4G, Google nexus s, hell ya! The minute I left I noticed service was surprisingly low compared to my vibrant. I figure throw a custom rom, kernel, modem package would fix it.. nothing. Full 3g at home on the vibrant... lucky to see 2 bars (in fact I haven't EVER seen 4 bars on here anywhere) . Pretty close to returning it... I thought the now network meant faster speeds... just a catch phrase I guess.... I've flashed the 3 radios posted and all three didn't change my signal at all....

I know that the radio was a problem on the NS4g last summer (my friend got one, then returned it for an evo because she couldn't get a data connection) and I thought it had been taken care of by now. My wife's phone was stolen last night and I found a NS4g for 120 (only used for 2 days!) on craigslist so I went for it. Anyway, I tried connecting to 4g and it is sporadic. I placed my e3d next to it and they both showed 1 bar, but my e3d achieved 3.5 Mbs and her ns4g got 800 kbs.
So my question is: does 4g still suck? If so, can I mitigate that with a different rom (I am completely stock at the moment). Please help me out since we both use 4g pretty regularly.
Soooo, I guess by the large amount of views and lack of responses, that I have stumbled across one of those questions that I am not supposed to ask. Perhaps this is one that has been asked ad nauseum and is thus being ignored??? I do apologize if that is the case, but I can't seem to find the right search terms to bring up a discussion of if the radios were ever fixed and if there are any ROMs which mitigate the weak signal. If someone can point me in the right direction, I would be appreciated, if not, I will let this thread die.
Well I am sorry as I am on T mobile with an I9020T ...... Not sure about Sprint network .
But from the numbers you mentioned , 3.5 megabits per sec isn't that high !! even on 3G I get sometimes a higher speeds ... I think I didn't miss much going with a 3G device not with a 4G one !!
BTW , what android version and radio you're on currently ? did this NS4G got any OTA as you start using it ? did you ask Sprint about the issue ?
Goodluck

On the sprint network 3g is like 1x. LOL I usually get somewhere around 300k on 3g (thus the importance of 4g). To be fair, I only had one bar on 4g (I usually get around 7-8 M on wimax). Anyway, I made sure to manually request all the updates through the menu and I am all up to date. Android version is 2.37 I believe, but am unsure since the wife has the phone and is away at the moment. radio? not sure. I haven't asked sprint about it yet. I just wanted to check here to see.
can someone please help me as i dont know if i should buy this cellphone.
is $300 a good price?
would it work on t mobile 3g/4g?
can it please be a samsung stock rom?
with touchwiz? i come from a lg g2x and i really like the looking of touchwiz.
i wonder if should buy this phone?
second whats the best modem/radio for t mobile?
one that works with a stock samsung rom with touchwiz.
does this phone has ice cream sandwicch by samsung?

I'm running the skyrocket on tmobile's faux-g network. It took about a month and a half to settle on the config, as noted in my sig. Hope this helps a bit.

ergh i hope this works, i been trying so many things, so many radios.. learned we are cross compatible with the I727 (naturally), I727R, T989, T989D, and even the T879 radios >.> .. yet the only time I ever got ANY data (even EDGE which is all we get here) is on a Gingerbread ROM.. ugh. Glad I haven't canceled AT&T yet..
edit: big fat nope for data still *sigh*
edit2: finally got EDGE.

I chose this radio because T989 users were saying they got better signal on this than even on Blaze radios. Or something like that. I'd link it but I spent like 7 hours fighting with it, way past my normal bed time, so I hardly remember anything. Here is a screenshot of my phone running the radio to prove it isn't a brick-maker. I also do not know if this supports 3G/4G, because as you can see my tower is EDGE :/

I'm gonna test it here in Vegas as soon it's done charging and nandroid backup. Hopefully, you get 3g/faux-g soon.
Yep can confirm that this radio works with faux-g here in Vegas. It's a little slow right now in the part of town where I'm living but workable. To the OP, radios are important for the type of ROM you want to be using. For example, a GB ROM depends on a GB radio and the same goes for ICS/JB ROMS.

I'd be content with reliable 2G. According to mapping apps there is a whole 1 tower here, 2G, and barely usable. Many times it will show 1 bar and still say 'Emergency Calls Only' >.>
I flashed a T989 ROM to enable Wifi Calling, but I need a new SIM card from T-Mobile (a 'GBA SIM'). It took a while with a bunch of phone tag across T-Mo departments, but I think I finally have a 'GBA SIM' coming at the cost of $0.99. Will report.

My phone reports that the mobile network type is "EDGE:2". I've assumed that this means I am not in a 3G area. The T-Mo coverage map shows the majority of my area as 2G. There is one small light green spot (assumingly 3g?) over my house, but I think this is just an error on the map. Therefore I am unable to properly test for 3G/4G connectivity.
I've also asked T-Mo if there was any plans to upgrade our tower to 3G, and unlike AT&T who would quickly counter with "but we have 3G in your area!", T-Mo sent me to some activist page to start a local rally to convince local officials to upgrade coverage. I guess this is their way of admitting it is, in fact, a 2g tower.
I've also changed my radio back to T989. I'm not sure if it was a radio issue or what but it seems after a few hours the phone would lose service completely. I'm still testing stuff.

What is the average signal strength that you usually get? Also , if I read correctly, you are now using the stock t989 radio on the skyrocket? Which would mean GB?

this radio (UVLH1, 4.0.4 ICS latest T989 radio) is also doing the same thing as the note radio. After a while (3-5 hours) the status bar will show service (2-3 bars, even fluctuate) but the system is "Searching" and calls and txts are missed. Need a stable radio...
edit 2: I guess technically I could just ust the original AT&T radio since I only get 2G here anyway, and T-Mobile is re-farming so 3G will eventually work on 1900mhz., the 1700/2100 is going to LTE like it should, thus our skyrockets on AT&T radio should technically be able to get T-Mobile 4G LTE when its available
edit 3: rogers (I727TR) radio probably better than AT&T for the sake of rat unlocked
edit 4: removed edit 1, just gonna use I727R UCLD2
OK. Sorry that the radios didn't really work out. I do encounter some network disconnects here but not a total dealbreaker. I guess we'll have to wait for T-Mobile. On a sidenote, I am finding I have better coverage with this radio.

I do like T-Mobile but I will watch from StraightTalk (AT&T Sim) and try again when they grow some more here. I need mobile data to work. I wouldn't mind 30kB/s but I only accomplished that once. Heck I'd even take 5kB/s if it didn't take over 2 minutes to establish one connection. I can't even use MMS most the time because it seems to require 4+ (-90) bars of service before EDGE will even establish a connection.
Edit: Got my 'GBA SIM' today for Wifi Calling. Works great on this ROM combo. I just wish I had mobile internet. I may do some tests as I am secretly hoping this GBA SIM has 3G/4G and maybe my old SIM was a 2G sim.
For archival reference in case I go back to AT&T ROMs, and my sig changes, Wifi calling for T-Mobile works on our Skyrockets using Faux123 ICS T989 Kernel for I727 MOD v001 and SGH-T989 UVLE1 Infamous Resurrection ROM
Zefie thank you for moding faux kernel as i use the rom on your signature and the kernel and Telus modded radio for t898d nd im getting awssome hspa+ speeds today i gotted 10mb download and 2mb up.

Buy a Samsung Galaxy Nexus from the Google Playstore for only 349.00. Its unlocked and works with both ATT and TMobile 4G.
That's what I did for my wife and using a Flashed Skyrocket on T-Moile 4G has been flaky at best.
