I just found out that the phew would not let you use anything else than GSM(auto) in the testing settings regardless of what you select. Could this cause those drops from 4g to 2g ?

I have this odd issue where I can be in an area that I know has 3g but my phone won't use it unless I set it to wcdma manually. It only says edge unless I change it. It then picks up 3g and works fine, anyone know a solution or reason it does this, it appears agnostic to rom or modem as it has happened in various configurations.

This is a dumb question, but is the 3G weak in your area?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Not at all when i do change it over to wcdma is gets full signal usually. I get 2-4 download as well when i change it.
My 3vo will seem to randomly not want to work on the data network, yet shows I still have 3G connection. Some pages will load and some background apps will work still...Anyone else have this issue? Maybe I have a defective phone? Just a strange issue I've never had before...

Are you using a temp root? I've found that every 2days or so i have to redo the temp method because I can't connect to data services.....reboot and It's fixed.

I'm having the same problem and I haven't used temp root 4g is fine. While I'm on 3g is when I have problems

I have theses problems to but my wife evo 4g is fine smh
Had the problems prior to using temp root...Hoped that temp root would solve it, but no dice.
Not sure if I should exchange it...Might be a hardware issue if not everyone is having the problem.

Call sprint and have them reset your data connection after a profile and prl update.

I had this problem and I did all the tricks listed in these forums... Nothing helped permanently. I ended up returning the 3D.
What browser are yall using? Even without temp root I have issues with FireFox.

I'll try calling them, thanks.
This is really annoying because I love the phone, but if I can't access the internet when I want to, I'm going to have to return it

Ever since I bought the evo3d I have had issues with WiFi staying connected at home(haven't tested other networks). While I'm on my WiFi network browsing the internet and threads my WiFi icon will disappear and I lose connectivity. 3g will kick on for about 30 seconds then WiFi will pop back up and connect. It tends to happen every 5 to 10 minutes. No other device, including my og EVO, has this problem. Ideas? Troubleshooting? Replace phone?

I had this issue with WiFi after original EVO got gingerbread. Change the channel on your router, I had to call Verizon, but been good since
Try turning off always on mobile data and mobile data when your on wifi. If you have automatic sync on I'd recommend turning it off as well when your on wifi. A quick way to achieve this is to use the htc data widget.

You can try going to wifi settings, then hitting menu and advanced to turn on wifi performance mode. And you can change wifi sleep mode as well (one of the settings is fifteen minutes, so who knows)

I'll give these a shot and see what happens. Thanks guys

Well none of those settings helped but I have been on a different router for a little bit now and don't have any problems. So it must be a setting within my main router... Time to mess around with that yippy :/

my tethering seems very unreliable. im using the latest wifi tether apk but thats irelevant as i have used many versions but the problems persist. allow me to explain, im in no way new to android nor tethering. i have followed all the steps to get 4g tethering speeds ( toggle data off, disable 4g re enable and so on) the thing is i cant get a stable connection from my laptop or my xoom for more than 20 mins. the connection either goes idle or the phone just restarts or i simply get disconnected from it. im just wondering whether it' s just me or whether this a common problem among photon users. many thanks and great forum.

I believe the 4G on your phone becomes idle. Just a guess.
I have heard this happens to other Photon users as well. Not sure what the cause of it is or the fix. I'm going to try some things out when I get time and see what mine does. I've never tried to tether for that long of time before. Will post back if I find out anything new.
**I can only test 3G. No 4G in my area.
Are you rooted or using a rom?
**Ignore this (my) post...had something but changed my mind***
thanks. yes rooted & stock
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
i can torrent nd get bout 10+ mbps download running through tether for 3 hours no problem. could even get on gears of war on my xbox while tethering no lag no problem
favorite tethering app- open garden tethering (easy and you can lower the transmit power for huge battery life increase, i keep mine on the lowest available) but wifi tether if i need specific settings
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
thanks for your reply. im so jealous lol i do also get very fast speeds the only prob is that is they are not consistent. phone either reboots or drops the connections. i will try the app you mentioned also
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
maybe think about visiting the store you bought it from or a sprint repair store..? ive never had problems with tethering even being rooted on my htc hero tethering was easy as pie at 2-3mps(3G) or rsdlite the latest spf maybe?

Also if you start wifi tether first,
then turn on 4g ...
4g tether works for me using
wifi tether 2.06

I have noticed my 3g keeps dropping every once in a while. Is this a bug or do I need to change some setting. My dinc4g is still stock just to let you know.

havent personally seen any data drops (either in lte areas or 3g only)
if its something that persists and is unusual for your area id try for an exchange w/ vzw

Are you in bad signal area? Sometimes it gets confused tries to go between 4g and 3g.
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Tapatalk 2
I am in 3g at the moment. But several towns around me within a 8 to 10 mile radius has 4g. We should have 4g soon. I also have noticed when I wake my phone up sometimes my 3g is gone and then comes back.
