[HTC EVO 3D] sgtcody:
I use Open Signal Maps (free on Market). It shows on a map to which tower you're connected and the signal strength.

I'm at work now and still have the same issue I had with the other two phones. Even dropped a call while I was looking at the tower! If HTC doesn't acknowledge the problem very soon I will have to get a refund and go back to my 4G. I sure wish it were possible to try out other radios or kernels but without root the devs can't do much to help...
[HTC EVO 3D] calebu2:
OK. So I installed that software on my Evo 3D and my epic.

Interestingly, Epic claims it is connecting to tower as EVDO A, while Evo 3D is connecting to same tower as 1xRTT.

Is this just a reporting glitch or is my dumbass evo 3d really connecting as 1xRTT (Which would explain my generally abysmal data rates).

Evo 3D is on PRL 21079 while epic is on 01120. Why wouldn't two 4G phones have the same (or similar) PRLs?
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
Using open signal maps my evo and 3d are getting the same -97dbm signal from the tower by my house. The epic is -101dbm

Sent from my PG86100
[HTC EVO 3D] calebu2:
Switched to 01120 and back again just in case. No change (was worth a shot).

Can others report their experience with open signal maps? I am curious whether the 1xrtt display is a display glitch on osm's part or if my phone is just not talking to local evdo towers.

From someone who knows: is evdo a different frequency to 1xrtt? Could certain bands be broken on my phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] calebu2:
Sprint just did a refresh using ##727??# and after that my signal improved from 1xrtt to evdo and speed improved from 60kbps to 900 down.

Interested to see if this fixes the other connectivity issues
[HTC EVO 3D] rxc777:
at my house wife has 3 bars and good 3g speed on htc evo and me on htc 3d have 1 bar to no signal and absolutely no internet, strongly thinking about going back to my OG evo >.<
[HTC EVO 3D] rxc777:
i have heard of that before but i dont know what to put in there.

i do know its ##72786# but then i dont know what to do

do you remember what they did next?
[HTC EVO 3D] calebu2:
##72786# enter mal then menu, reset.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mouahmong:
Just hit menu and reset. You won't lose any data. It just goes through the initial setup again (as if you turned your phone on for the first time and is reconnecting to sprint and activating your device)
[HTC EVO 3D] rxc777:
just tried it and phone still has horrible 3g speed almost none at all keeps saying i have no internet >:[
[HTC EVO 3D] mr.orange303:
I called sprint and was advised one of my phones was defective. It has never received a proper signal. And was marked defective before I called.

I was aiming for an airwave. However the tech agent right away advised me i had a bad unit. I don't know how. But she didn't hesitate.

I got it from wirefly. They want to charge me 250 to return. It will be refunded I was told. But I can't afford the 250. I am a father of 4. It cost. They will give it to a manager to decide if they can waive it.

I will have to return the phone and go straight to sprint to buy again.

If I can't back to Tmobile.
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
I bought mine from a Sprint rep outside of going to the store. I'm taking the phone to a repair center to have them check the antenae............any problems that I'll run into if the phone is defective?
[HTC EVO 3D] cody_cummins:
Speed test says 48kb congratulations your new phone is slower then dial up, thats with full bars!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Irishman42:
Full bars doesn't mean much for speeds, its for voice and text. If you have another phone, test speeds with it. I struggled with slow speeds from Sprint for almost a year, but it had nothing to do with what phone I was using. The tower I was on was simply overcrowded, late at night I would get great speeds then during the it would be back under 100 kbps.
[HTC EVO 3D] newtiltuser:
Evo 3d Poor Signal

Reading through a few forums about this. To all of those know-it-alls who want to focus on the bars not being accurate: Pay attention! The problem is not that anyone is just seeing 1 or 2 bars indicated. The problem is POOR CALL QUALITY! I switched from Verizon to Sprint for this phone and I have never had so many dropped calls. There is an audible lag in voice calls. Even the Airave (yes, they sent me one, too) does not solve that problem. (However, it did solve the problem of roaming at my home.) What do we have to do to convince people that we just can't talk on these phones??? Somebody just needs to own up that there is a problem with the Evo 3d.

I'm waiting on a Sensation to be delivered today and can't wait to try out T-mo. The Evo is going right back to Sprint, along with the Airave. Maybe I'll finally be able to hold a conversation with someone in a voice call...
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
It's a damn shame this phone is making Sprint looks like a ****ty service. Honestly in the past 6 or 7 years I may have dropped, oh, 2? 3? calls...and we were talking 3 walls deep in a brick building 20 miles from tower type scenarios...until I got this phone where every other call dropped out or become worthless garble half of the time.

I assure you Sprint service, while typically more sparse than Verizon, is typically fantastic...if you can pull a damned signal in and lock on one tower.

I wish you the best of luck with the Sensation...It'll hopefully (and likely) be better.
[HTC EVO 3D] rxc777:
Well i got tired of having no 3g internet so i exchanged my phone in the sprint store for another E3D
[HTC EVO 3D] mr.orange303:
My wife drops in and out constantly. I mean every single time. I have never had this issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] x4sper:
chat or call sprint and them you are getting slow 3g speeds. I chatted with them today when i was getting 20-50kbps and 1200ms+ pings. they refreshed my services on their end and then i did the ##72786# reset thing and now im getting less than 100 pings and 1.5-2.0mbps a little better than my wifes evo 4g. good stuff
[HTC EVO 3D] rxc777:
Good info will call tomorrow thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] calebu2:
The ##72786# steps that Sprint took seemed to drastically improve my phone's reception and transfer speeds. It's not stellar, but It's a vast improvement over what it was.
[HTC EVO 3D] Smoke362:
I took the first 3d back thinking it was just a bad phone. I am having the same issues with the second, always in roaming. I am still within my 30 days so I am going back to the Evo 4g. Very disappointed with this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] ill3nium:
I have had the same issues with the 3D: poor signal (3G is decrepid), constantly going roaming. Got an Airave at home but that's only a fix for the problem at home.

Figured I would call HTC before going to Sprint to have it tested. HTC confirmed they are aware of the issue and said it should be fixed in the next Software Update, no ETA of course.

I will take the phone in to Sprint and have them test it as I'm curious if it will fail the antenna test as others have. Still got 10 days left to return it, maybe I'll just save my upgrade and get a used Evo 4G off CL for cheap.
[HTC EVO 3D] retrofred:
Good luck on that one. I tried and was told I couldn't do it. Their reasoning was that they down grade me to the EVO 4G and it was a lesser phone. I had fewer problems and issues with the original EVO then with the 3d. So as of now I am stuck with the 3d unless I buy a EVO out right and sell the 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] ill3nium:
Sorry to hear that retrofred. You could likely find someone to trade phones with on Craig's, I'd think an og Evo +$50/$100 would be a good trade for the 3D.

UPDATE: Took the phone to the Sprint store and specifically requested the RF test with printout of results. Took them 2 hours (they ran SLATE too) to tell me the phone passed, no printout tho.

The tech brought the phone out asking me to sign back into my google account but I couldnt 'cause the screen kept blacking out! His had no idea how it happened but offered to retest it. I did a Hard Reset to fix it. Anyone familiar with a problem like this?

Regardless, phone is going back today and im reactivating my TP2 till the signal fix comes from HTC for the 3D or possibly for the Samsung GS2 (Epic Touch 4G).
[HTC EVO 3D] gruvmyster01:
Oddly enough...

I've had signal issues with my 4G service as opposed to my 3G which seems much stronger with the Evo 3D. However after flashing a custom ROM (Steel) my overall reception has improved drastically and that's with the stock radios.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikel719:
I'm thinkingabout returning my evo 3d today because of reception issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] splat matt:
You'll need an msl password but ##72786# seems to have solved my 3VO signal complaints
[HTC EVO 3D] robstunner:
My 3g is absolutely embarrassing. After 57 speed tests in multiple areas my fastest download was 600kbps and fastest upload was a staggering 80kbps. Unlimited untapped my foot you can't even pull 2gbs of data a month if you tried!
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigjim1488:
Sadly it is that bad. My phone roams like it is it's job
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
what exactly do you have to do once your in this menu?
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigjim1488:
Hit menu then reset
[HTC EVO 3D] Quis89:
No issues here.
[HTC EVO 3D] five40:
I haven't been enjoying my phone as much as I'd like to.

4G reception sucks, sitting at my desk I used to get decent reception with my OG Evo no I can't hold a connection with my 3D. My awesome phone is crippled by sprints subpar 4G network. I can't hold a connection long enough to stream videos or download roms or much of anything else...so what if it's unlimited, i'd rather pay more for a reliable limited network than get cheap unlimited

I'm seriously considering a switch but the only carrier i'd switch to (Verizon) I'm not very impressed with there current 4G Lte devices. As of today the Charge is the handset I would chose. But the Charge doesn't seem to have the developer support that the OG Evo or 3D has.

But those LTE speeds have me drooling

Must be just my local tower. Hit 6.5mbps down on 4G in town.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
Hi,

I just received my Asus Transformer (32GB) today. Thought I'd give my thoughts on the defects that have been mentioned on the forum.

I'm really happy with my Transformer. The light bleed is minimal. At 100% brightness, I can see the lower left and the two spots along the bottom, but it's really not that distracting. I don't' notice it in dark scenes in movies.

No speaker issues - good balance, no pop (yet).

I started charging (and using at the same time) at 30%, and it took about two hours to charge to 100%. Charger does get pretty hot.

I updated to v3.1. But the little bit of playing I did before that was fine. Pretty responsive screen. Note, other people seem to indicate the default desktop is the active one with the glass? Mine came with a tree/hill static desktop.

Build Number: HMJ37.US_epad-8.4.4.5-20110527

I don't know if that's a software build or a hardware build on May 27, 2011?

Wi-fi is fast (1.3 mBps on one download). GPS and compass works great. MicroSD card works good. Plays movies OK, but I don't have any HD movies yet...play 350MB / 50 minute AVI's fine.

Slight plastic squeek on the left back side between the back and the bezel. No biggie.

Video capture from the back camera (5MP) better than I thought. I saw reviews where there were a lot of artifacts and skipping. No issues with this build.

Overall, really snappy! Only hiccup was at some point (after the 3.1 update, after I had installed and played a few games), I flipped the tablet around and the screen turn into the black screen with the Asus logo in the middle. Couldn't get it to go away until I push the power button. Touch screen didn't do anything. Who knows.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Carl LaFong:
Every piece of technology has is glitches, some are minor while others can be maddening. Especially when you're on the cutting edge. Overall the TF is a very good product and I'm certain Asus will fix what it can. I've been a corporate buyer of Asus products since the early '90s and have always trusted their products.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eli.kennedy:
Well said.

Everyone is new to honeycomb and the hardware platform. One thing I have really started to understand is that there is no perfect device - everything has it's good and bad points. I'm am very happy with the TF overall because for my useage the good far outweighs the bad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
I don't really know when mine came off the manufacturing line. But, if mine is the latest off the line, maybe they're starting to work out the quality bugs? I hope.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tekkitan:
Same here. This is actually my second Transformer. The first one I got from Best Buy had a vertical line on panel 3/4 that would show up pretty often. Tried to return it to them for a replacement but they were out of stock (of course). Then I bought my second one at Newegg and returned the first. Second one has no defects. Screen, cameras, speakers all good. No light bleed. I get a little creak in the right bottom corner but that is only when picking it up one handed. I imagine that puts a little stress on the case considering the weight of the device and I probably shouldn't do so :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Shawn_230:
My personal experience with the Transformer has been generally great, especially given the price they ask for it.

But, Honeycomb in all honesty leaves a lot to be desired.

It never made the best impression on me when I bought my Transformer, but this week I picked up a Samsung Galaxy S2 and using Android 2.3 on a new high-end phone has really highlighted for me how much room for improvement there is for Honeycomb.

Honeycomb looks pretty and has a well thought out layout, but the stability and usability need improvement. Sadly with ICS on the way we'll probably have to wait until the end of the year to have a tablet-optimized Android that works anywhere as well as Android does on phones.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Malandro2011:
Im also on my second one after getting it replaced due to light bleed... no big deal.

If only.... there had been plenty of stock when released, there were no light bleed issues, speaker balance, buggy o/s it would be perfect.

But I still think its better then an ipad due to the freedom it gives in customization.

And I love streaming movies using upnp on my home wifi from nas perfectly :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CalvinH:
Same here. Minimun light bleed, some speaker unbalance, but no cracking nor any other thing.

Mine came stock with the tree wallpaper, and I have the water and ice also avaible.

Pretty happy with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DaWongOne:
I'm on my third one.a little crack on the lefthand since but other than that it's fine. Been reading a comparison on the Samsung GT 10.1 forum and everybody says that GT10.1 is much better. Why? Because it has a flash? And no microsd
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
:eek: If i get under 25 i get depressed :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
You get 25 megaBytes per second? That seems kinda two fast...maybe it's 25 megabits per second? My home wireless network usually tops out at 2.2 megaBytes per second.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
Malandro, how are you streaming movies? I have an Asus router w/ USB port running tomato, and I can connect a USB HD to it for the UPNP. But, when I try playing large avi's, it tries to download the whole thing before playing it, so I haven't played any movies on it, figure it wasn't capable of streaming?

edit: what movie app are you using? Also, what does your network look like? Router w/ USB external HD also? Can you stream off of windows shares (SMB) files?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseline01:
As for my personal experience, no big complaints here but I think the creak on the left side is unacceptable for a device costing 400€, and one that for me highlights the lack of quality control in the manufacturing stage...

Other than that this is a fine device but Honeycomb still has to evolve as a platform, and I wished developers would see the vast android user market as one to take advantage of.

i.e. Simultaneous releases on both iOS and Android would be nice :cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
I noticed that which direction you put the plug in makes a difference...since it can be plugged in both ways.

upside down gets warm....right side up not so much.

Right side up is looking at the plug like it's a face....the round hole on the bottom with the slots like they're eyes....and plug the TF plug in so you can read the ASUS when the plug goes in...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PaulHBK:
I had mine plugged in right side up the other day and it got as hot as I ever noticed (very hot!). I only plug in right side up however.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coachclass:
Interesting. I haven't come across that idea in the forums before. Basically, if the power strip was a face, you're putting the Asus tatoo on the forehead of the face :)

I'm charging mine now right side up, so we'll see. I forget which orientation I had it in last time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DilloDroid:
The main problem with upside down charger is the polarity. Some have reported minor shocks. I say minor because it charges at what 15 volts? I am an electrician and used to shocks so that much is hardly negligible to me, more of an annoyance. I think to get a decent one 24 volts or more would be necessary but that does depend on circumstance and other factors. Everyone's sensitivity to shock is different. Best to keep it plugged in correctly.

Bought mine from BB about a month ago. If there's light bleed I'd have to be in a completely dark room with a dark screen to tell. Seems like a good build. No speaker problems except total volume is low. No creaks. No screen separation. 3.1 honeycomb?.... it and the programs written for it still need some work. The new Sammy looked nice at the store. Nice enough to take mine back and pay more for less features? No. I like my TF. I'm keeping mine. Got the dock on the way....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
When your taking about download speeds why are you quoting '1.3 mBps' as bits :rolleyes: everybody on the entire planet would think you're talking about bytes. it 25 bytes = 209715200 bits, give or take a few pancakes :)

We have virgin broadband at home and work, if i run an ADSL cable from the router direct to my laptop (no interference) at work i can scrape 32 megabytes :)

I certainly wouldn't be able to do my job at 2.2 megabytes!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
And also if it's backwards, the case gets a slight charge....if you touch it ever so lightly, you'll get a tingle.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xbs:
So, if the power strip is with the holes up (like the eyes on a face) the usb plug on the charger would be on the downside? or on the upside?

I stream my content using upnp, from an external hdd plugged into a router via usb, with buzz player (Paid app).

EDIT: Plex server for windows (Free) + Plex for android (Paid) also work pretty good.

two things that i was shocked to see that it had only Launcher Pro(no tw4/tw3) and that the screen is yellowish and when i pull up the browser it goes proper white and then it reverts back to ellowish tinge when i come out of the browser... was really disturbing so i went back to another Rom...
