Nothing new I've tried every single PRL that has been posted for at least 2-3 hrs each just to make sure i gave it enough time between test. I've been from Frisco, Plano, North Dallas, East Dallas and Downtown Dallas and never get 3G coverage or speeds. Ive change the M.IP as JD suggested still nothing, ran advanced settings and changed the settings under phone information from CDMA auto to EVDO only as indicated in some other article i've read. And yet still no 3G and like macklin345 indicated the map has a giant 3G coverage basically around the DFW area and still no luck. But still keeping the faith that eventually it will just show up on my phone.

I'm having an issue, I originally updated my PRL to 03024 and I had 3G for about a day. The next day, I no longer had 3G. Eventually I updated to 03022 and still no 3G. I haven't had 3G since 03024 stopped working.

I'm located in Miami.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Hey whamsandwhich,

I'm located in Miami also. I went throught the same problem, I was on 3024 & 3025 and no 3G signal. So I downgraded to 3022 and I'm now getting great 3G signal almost everywhere I've gone today. My suggestion is to download all the PRL's and try them one by one, I have links to all of them in the OP (1st Post) :D

Check if your phone has the 2004 PRL cause it seem like MetroPCS just change my. I was on 3027 and now 2004 without notice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pifive:
What in the world is going on with Metro? I woke up today to see my Evo with an 1x? Then I check the PRL and guess what? 02004 PRL after I had 3022 !! Is this Magic? Why Metro pushed me PRL out and installed a new one.?

Are they killing 3g in Miami?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Lmao, Your right! I was just on my computer and decided to update my PRL back to 3026 which had stable 3G but then I noticed I had PRL 02004 on my phone, now I'm back on 3027 and 3G is working fine. MetroPCS must be pushing 02004 to everyone again...

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexFG:
MetroPCS has been pushing PRL 2004 to a bunch of EVOs down here in Miami; I know because a lot of customers at the store have been complaining about it. Make sure you guys disable OTA updates on your settings otherwise it might happen again after you revert back to 3026 or 3027.

On a side note; I've been running some tests and I get better reception and 3G speeds with 3026 than 3027. Even though the internet is considerably slower than it was a few weeks ago. I was getting around 600 to 800 kbps before; now I'm getting around 300 to 500 kbps. I'm running the tests on a Samsung Galaxy S2 from sprint, even though the settings are pretty much the same. I'm gonna run the tests on an EVo 4G later on today just to be sure.

Where ya been Alex? Haven't seen u post in a while. I wish Detroit had the issue of ONLY 300-500kbps :D lol some day
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexFG:
Hey man how is it going? I know, I haven't checked this thread in a while; I've been too busy with school and work. :cool:

300 - 500 kbps feels extremely sluggish; I was getting around 6 mbps on T-Mobile the downside was that I had to pay over 70 bucks every month for service. :p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atljatl:
Ok: There are about 20 or so neighborhoods/areas in south Atlanta that I am in and test 3g in regularly. When 3027 first came out, you could only get 1x everywhere. Now, unlike what it sounds like is happening Miami for example, I have found that speeds are slightly higher than they normally were on previous prls. Additionally, I found a couple areas where the 3g coverage is significantly faster than before.. (like 600kbps compared to 200kbps)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chainsaw5001:

Yeah, its stable. The speeds do vary depending on the time of day. Anywhere from 300 to 1000 kbps. I've notice the speeds also vary in different parts of town. I work in Rancho Cordova at night and the speeds never go below 800 kbps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mteezey:
Mex put 3022. I've noticed that's the only one I.could get a evdo connection when I forced hdr. I tried 3027 and couldn't so switched back to 3022 and now.that I'm workin again and in different areas I'm actually picking it up here and there.

Help Evo 3D

Okay guys this time I'm going to need you more than ever lol. I have got myself an Evo 3D which is currently with spring data settings and all that. Anyway I would like to program it to metro and make it work. Can someone point me to something to start with. I am new on HTC :D also the guy that sold it to me said that it's being flashes to metro before but he did a whipe data and I don't know what else that erased the flash. Now I was wondering since I have an active account with metro already wouldnt be easy just to port my number to this one jus by calling metro and provide them with the evos 3D ESN? Is that possible? Ugh I just took the phone to an authorized dealer and they said they won't do it cuz when they dial 611 it appears as sprint. Though cuz it needs to re-program with metros settings. And I asked them if I can get it to work for metro and just call 611 and provide my ESN they say they might do it but the phone won't work. Wtf. Well if anyone would hel me on this one I would really appreciate it. :)

If it was already flashed to metro.before follow the guide same as EVO 4g add metro prl to it if its not already. Enter your mdn and msid and dial *228 it will tell u activation had problems and try to transfer you but u shouldnt need.to.wait for a rep its just cause it.was flashed that it.does this you already programmed.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
To tell you the truth I'm not 100% sure, But I don't think that keeps 3G from coming up. I guess it wouldn't hurt to disable it, restart your phone, check for 3G, if no luck then just re enable it.

Hows it going guys I dont know if you remember me maybe the main thread admin does... I traded my evo awhile back for nexus s 4g I have been still trying to get 3g speed in tampa,fl. Well the other day I went out to lakeland for some business and what do you know I had full blown 3g on prl 3022 was awesome.... I get 3g here in tampa to appear on my phone but for some reason it just does not reflect the speed. I only get 15kbps up and down ..... dont know why.... it switches to 3g in tampa for sometimes more than 10 or 20 minutes but it never reflects the speeds when I do a speed test ..... anyway I am doing something right because when I drove out to lakeland I was getting full blown 3g speeds up and down .....

Actually the whole Houdini is gonna disappear rumor is nothing more than a hoax, that has been going around for more than a year. We had a high level metro exec at the store yesterday and he didn't mention anything about it. There are a lot of stores that have had their Houdini accounts suspended by metro bcs they abused it but that doesn't mean Metro is gonna drop houdinisoft on every single one of their stores. That wouldn't be a smart business decision for them.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nymica:
Look for the downgrade toolkit in the EVO3D cdma development forum for directions on how to downgrade hboot, unlock it, flash custom recovery, and root. It's really not as scary as it looks! Unknownforce and closeone have made this really simple!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mteezey:
If you don't care about flashing splash screens and radios you can use htc unlock method and still flash whatever you want. You just need to set up adb for fastboot commands to work on pc. If you hve windows seven pc its really easy to cd. Download android sdk once its installed go to platform tools folder and hold shift and right click. Then click open command window here. Then type fastboot oem get_identifier_token. It will give you a cods that you enter on htcdev.com they will give you unlockcode.bin that u then put in same folder and send command fastboot flash unlockcode.bin. its really simple don't be scared by the command thing you will be glad you did it. Plus it will come in very handy someday if you mess up your phone. HTC dev site walks you through this whole process. Plus there is a downgrade method now it can be tricky since u have to brick your phone(a certain way) to accomplish. Get familiar with commnds and fastbooting boot.img and stuff and then move on to that. All this is stickied in the 3vo forums too. :D

PRL 03028

Hello, been following this thread for about 2 weeks. Lots of good info. I just registered so I can post this. Anyways, I have an Evo flashed to Metro. I've done everything but no 3G here in Bakersfield, CA. My wife has a Admire, also no 3G. I was messing with hers today and noticed that the PRL was reverted to 3026. She had 3027 when I had checked it before. So I did the *228 to update. And lo and behold 3028!!! Hopefully I wake up to 3G. Doubt it since I think Bakersfield is capped.

Hey I just found out 4ext recovery is out of testing and supports s-on flashing I don't even think you need to do HTC unlock either.check it out. I think they have a free version or trial but I bought it too its really nice. And in your case with locked bootloader you can't go wrong. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ext.recovery.control
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nymica:
4ext or any custom recovery require at least s-on so you will at least have to HTC unlock if you aren't wanting to downgrade and get s-off
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mteezey:
Require at least s-on? Not sure what your saying. But they have been testing to.flash s-on ever since Dees_troy(dev of HTC dumlock) joined up with the developer. Since you can write to boot partition with s-on while the phone is booted they figured out a way to do this without root. My guess is it runs some sort of temp root script or something that allows it to bypass asking for superuser permissions. I haven't researched. But I know this is being done since a member of the team I am on tested for it. And during updates my app has got it asks about s-on and if I'm rooted. Why else ask this? :D look at link I posted changelog. 4ext smartflash s-on devices.

Sent from my ZR3D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nymica:
Because it's got a built in script that flashes your boot and kernel on reboot since HTC unlock won't let you flash that directly in recovery you still have to unlock your bootloader though. S-off doesn't require that script that's why it asks.
