Ok guys I think I'm getting close. I disabled my profiles and I saw 3g pop up on my phone twice today. It never connected fully but its a start. I also remember when I got it that last time but lost it when i went through and double checked my settings they were disabled then too. I'm on prl 3026 now which I usually never run(always 3022). So I'm gonna switch back to 3022 and see if that helps. Maybe someone else give it a try too see what results you get. Use qpst and uncheck box in mip tab that says "profile enabled".

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Hey trev23sks,

I used to have a touch pro a while back, The first thing I would try is updating your PRL to 3026 you won't have to take it back to MetroPCS. And if you change any settings always write down the previous settings down on paper just to be safe.

Flashed phones won't even work at all in AWS markets. I'm pretty sure the only AWS markets metro has are in new England area. East coast. It night be the other way around though.

Sent from my OG Evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mteezey:
I've opened up all the prls and in my opinion 3022 is the best one. It has the same channels as 3026 and more. It seems to me that 3026 was put in place to restrict certian devices from connecting. But 3022 has the hdr channels we want for our phones and they are before the cdma channels where as 3026 had them after.

I did make somewhat of a breakthrough today. I disabled the profiles the other day and haven't messed with it till today. Well I out my phone to hdr only. It connected to evdo as usual but no data. So I tried toggling the airplane mode a few times to.see if it would connect. Well once I hit airplane mode button 3g icon pops up and data starts to sync. But only till airplane mode goes into affect then radios off. Pssshhh

So i did a field test and noticed an/aaa fails to authenticate. I'm gonna do a logcat while I hit airplane mode to.see if I can see what allows me to connect for that little window. Then enable my profiles and do it all again. Wish me luck LOL. All this was done on 3022 btw

This was originally posted by klassy1

"I have an idea which I cannot confirm or even know if it's possible, but I believe in some areas they may be using the AWS band for 3g data. As long as the programming is right, and you currently have 1x then there shouldn't be any reason it won't connect unless it's unavailable, or on a non compatible band"

Perhaps this is why we cannot get 3G here in L.A I don't know who knows. :D
