[EVO 4G General] Adambomb13:
Yes, I can verify that Coors Field during June 22, 23, 24 has/had 4G...I was there for the Red Sox vs Rockies and I DID get 4G, as I was speaking to my wife the person in front of me stated they worked for sprint and had an EVO on them and also connected to 4G, they called into Sprint and they stated they were testing towers in downtown (on and off) the signal...So I really hope Kidmet right...
[EVO 4G General] jrun:
Awesome, shouldn't be toooo long for 4G here then.

So, I live in lakewood right now, i have been having this issue for about a week or so now where i'll be browsing sites just fine and then the upload arrow for 3G stays lit up and then i lose data connection. Is this the same issue everyone else is having? I'm still having it right now.. called Sprint and they said they had no known issues.
[EVO 4G General] siwelk:
4G is intermittently available near Coors Field. This is true.
[EVO 4G General] jmglidden:
Yes. This is exactly the problem I have been having, but I haven't seen it in about three days.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Yeaaaaa... I'm over this ****. Thank God my work lets us use the wifi.

It was working totally fine ans then I had my phone replaced. Now its **** again. I'm so ****ing over dealing with it. Totally unacceptable!
[EVO 4G General] Adambomb13:
I totally agree, I would respect Sprint more if they said, yes we are having 3G signal timeout, due to 4G implementation , we expect to be correct by {date}.

Instead they are wanting to send us to get new phones at least in my case...

I hope Kidmet was told the true that it should be correct by weeks end...

[EVO 4G General] carlos64030:
I'm from New York and arrived here in Denver yesterday for some business, and yes, there's definitely a very irritating problem here with service timeouts.
[EVO 4G General] jrun:
If they told that person that it was due to a 4G implimentation and should be fixed by weeks end.. would that mean... 4G possibly being completed then?

....one can day dream right? :)
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
Well, let's hope so!

4G Was rumored to be implemented in Denver Metro in July, so maybe there's some truth to them :)
[EVO 4G General] Kidmet:
As our seperate calls seem to fall upon deaf ears, I propose that a group of us go to a Sprint Repair Center to show the same problem. This is crap and I'm getting rather sick of it. I want my Slingbox! Anyone up for this? I know there is a "corporate" repair site off 225 and DTC.
[EVO 4G General] jrun:
OT, but.. you have a scooby eh? I've got an 06 wrx, stage 2.. Did the mods when i bought it back out in florida the first month i got it.. then haven't touched it since hah.. Since moving out here to Denver, the subaru has come in handy big time.. Just took it camping over the weekend, impressed with how well it did going thru the woods over those rocky roads :)

Back on topic though, yea.. i just tried doing some browsing.. and again.. white upload arrow locks and so does my connection. I cannot browse with any fluidity for longer than 1min.. pretty frustrating.
[EVO 4G General] jrun:
Just got done driving from lakewood into downtown. I picked up a 4G signal on 6th at i25.

Just throwin that out there.
[EVO 4G General] Thomas1218:
I'd say this crap was worth it if I can get 4g before July is over. Was up in Westminster and it was fine but back in lakewood and englewood it still locked up
[EVO 4G General] dpilcher:
Just talked with my neighbor and he says they also have it up and running in the sprint office off Inverness and I25 and are getting tons of calls about 3G issues around here. He confirmed that it is due to the 4G testing; however, I've always had data issues with 3G down here. Tried to get an eta, none known but maybe he will try and get some type of answer from them at work. Can't be too far away though with a lot of people seeing the signal in various places.
[EVO 4G General] Jim M:
Could this be my problem? I can't stream music to my computer when connected to the WiFi Hotspot. (I'm actually paying for the Hotspot - for the time being).

Thoughts:confused:
[EVO 4G General] carlos64030:
Call customer service and request that you get credited until the problem is resolved.
[EVO 4G General] Jim M:
Done it

I already called several times complaining, they've actually given me credit back on the $10 premium data and the $30 hotspot.

I've rooted and now trying to stream using some of the wireless hotspot programs. still disconnects often.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Wait, the Inverness building has 4G? I know right where that is, I'm going to have to take a detour on my drive home tonight. :D
[EVO 4G General] jmglidden:
Update:

I made it almost four days without a lockup and then last night I had about 6 app updates and two installs queued up in the market (via AppBrain). I just spammed through all of the update / install screens, so had several apps downloading at once. Sure enough I got the up-arrow-3G-freeze as I was able to reproduce previously when downloading a bunch of icon packs.

I switched over to the 01337.prl from techknowfile's thread, rebooted, and then switched back to the current Sprint PRL via OTA PRL update.

I haven't had another lock up since.
[EVO 4G General] Adambomb13:
Ok, I called Sprint and spoke with Support, they tried the update my profile, pull out the battery, NO GO.

They escalated me to the "Advanced Technician Group" and they stated that there is NO OPEN tickets regarding Colorado and network issues.

But she marked my zipcode towers and told me to spread the word to other people experiencing 3G timeouts/freezes to call Sprint and have their towers marked to have it escalated higher a network technician....

Please call Sprint
[EVO 4G General] Adambomb13:
I tried changing the PRL , instructions at techknowfile's* - Hack the HTC EVO - 3G w/o Sprint EVDO coverage!

and that worked but I'm on Verizon's network but at least my 3G signal is working awesome (tested with Slingplayer) for 15+ minutes straight no freezing

I keep it on Verizon until Sprint corrects the issue
[EVO 4G General] jrun:
Are verizons towers around here any faster than sprints 3G? Would there be any benefit to leaving it on verizons? Any downsides?
[EVO 4G General] Adambomb13:
Verizon in Lakewood is pretty good (Denver Federal Center) I got 1000mbps down and 900kbps up....Faster then Sprint on a good day...

Update: I did what the person stated afew post above this one, I used the "[6/16]*techknowfile's* - Hack the HTC EVO - 3G w/o Sprint EVDO coverage!"

steps 1-3. As I stated above and then went back to Update profile and got to PRL # 660668 from 660667 or something like that and NOW I'm back on sprint and USING slingplayer for the past 10+ minutes straight...w/o dropping 3G signal

WooHoo, Fixed!!!!
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
They're full of bad smelling brown stuff. This issue started up for me again at work off of I25 and Lincoln. I'd really like to punch someone in the face, but holding out that it's due to our overdue 4G present :)
[EVO 4G General] Jim M:
Okay, I called... end result:

~ Sprint says it's my phone, they're sending me a new one ~

So, I've loaded the phone back to the original operating system and unRooted it.

I've got no problems with the network on my crackberry from work, streams music, tethers and downloads with no stoppage or hiccups.
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
Oh how different things can be...

I'm on the phone with them right now, they're credited me back the hotspot from the first month that they were supposed to credit me from a month ago, but are not giving me any additional credits at all for the ~month of lost service since I opened this thread.

So, just talked to his manager, they gave me another $20 credit, but said "they can't keep giving credits, so I shouldn't expect it next month"

My response? Well, you agree that it has something to do with Sprint's Infrastructure right? He responded "yes." I said "then it's Sprint's responsibility, so you guys need to fix your ****! If this is still broken in a month, I WILL call back, and I WILL demand additional credits because I'm paying you a boat load of money a month for services I'm not able to use."

We'll see what happens, they're transferring me to Technical Support to explain the problem in the area and hopefully give me an ETA.

****EDIT****

So, I went through the whole story again to tech support, and they said they had to forward me to advanced technical support. Guess what? They're closed. So, I guess I have to call back and do the whole thing over tomorrow. What a piece of crap.
[EVO 4G General] Jim M:
Yep, BTDT. I'll keep calling and demanding refunds for service they are NOT providing.
[EVO 4G General] Adambomb13:
I'm working now...After changing the PRL to Verizon through the hack and then return it back to Sprint's PRL 60668...I'm up and running with no problems (so far)

I'm back to enjoying my EVO (I love SlingPlayer)

Adam
[EVO 4G General] pazu1:
Well, I'm having this issue with my evo. It seems like I can use 3g connection for about 2 minutes, and upload arrow stays solid, and after that I cannot get any 3g connection unless I reboot it or press power button and wait for awhile. I called Sprint tech first and they told me there aren't any problems with network, and she told me that she's going to issue a ticket to talk with her supervisor. Anyway, I went to local sprint repair center (was a bit worried since I purchased the phone from Best Buy since launch day, and it passed a month which I won't be able to return.), and the tech guy told me that he will change with a new phone, I thought thank God at least someone has a soul...

However, after I changed with new phone, which I believe probably refurbed(kickstand scratched..), and had a same problem....I was little bit upset since I'm on simply everything plan and cannot use 3g connection...

I'm in Centennial BTW.....frustrating.......
[EVO 4G General] Adambomb13:
ugh, I'm now home in Centennial and I now getting the timeout/freezes....

So I'm now using the techknowsfile PRL hack and I'm back on Verizon network

Damn this stinks...
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Just an FYI... if you don't have unlimited minutes and you use that hacked PRL, you get charged minutes for all of your roaming.

Anyway, I pretty much found the fix... Its worked on both of my Evos now.

##RTN# - Reset - Enter MSL.

You must do this from a ROM that supports HTC's auto configuration such as Fresh's ROMs or the rooted Supersonic that was released.

This does a full wipe on the phone, including your provisioning settings, and when it reboots, it will automatically reconfigure your phone and data settings then download the newest PRL and then just cancel the check for OTA update.

I did this and I've downloaded 100MB at about 1Mbps and it hasn't dropped out a single time.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Been goin strong ever since now. This trick definitely works though I don't know why the original provisioning doesn't.
[EVO 4G General] Jim M:
Working Fine Today???

Just an update. Today (Saturday) I have been surfing the net and streaming music from Wolf radio using the "Hotspot". No disconnects, this was posted while using the hotspot as well. And all morning from an EVO that Sprint Tech says has something wrong with it and is being replaced. If they send me refubished one it is going back unused.

:confused:
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
I honestly think that its a provisioning issue.

Also, there are currently no refurb Evos... It should be BNIB. Unless that changed since yesterday.

I'm about to have mine replaced again... you should hear my speakerphone. It sounds like an old AM radio... sounds completely blown. And my ear piece on max volume is blown too. So pissed!
[EVO 4G General] Jim M:
Rumour Mill ~ LOL

No first hand experience with refurb'erd EVO's being sent out, only read some posts that peeps have gotten EVO replacemenets in plain white boxes and report hardware version 0002.

YMMV

Back on topic, been 4 hours online without a hiccup on the EVO hotspot.

Heading to our house in the mountains this afternoon, I'll see how it does when I'm roaming. No 3g service there, but my old Touch Pro and current work crackberry both have worked well in the past there. The place is 15 miles due east of Fairplay in the middle of South Park.
[EVO 4G General] Adambomb13:
I just got back from Buena Vista (River Runners) Brown Cayon White Water Rafting and it seems that the 3G issue is resolved for me in Centennial, but the last time I thought it was corrected was working at work (Lakewood) then got home and it crapped out, so I will wait til Monday to try it at work..

Watched Slingplayer for 10+ minutes at home, now I need to try it at work to hopefully celebrate Kidmet idea that it will be fixed this weekend...

Thank you everyone for giving feed back and ideas (techknowsfile)

Adam
[EVO 4G General] Adambomb13:
Ok, I'm at work and no 3G signal freezing/timeout. Testing with SlingPlayer 5+ minutes...

I just wished Sprint owed up to the network issue here in Colorado...

The Corporate Store on E.Quincy in the DTC was honest which was cool.

Adam
[EVO 4G General] Jim M:
I'm still in the mountains, and have a roaming 3g signal, and have had no disconnects. I've been able to stream music and ran several file downloads just to test.

The problems are definately with Sprint's Denver area network with the EVO.

To repeat myself, my work issued blackberry has had no issues staying connected when in town.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
I'm telling you guys.##rtn# and reset the phone. Haven't had data issues since.

Also there is definitely a 4g tower up around 25 and 6th. Had 4g from eastboumd 6th and 25 south until half a mile before Santa Fe. I was driving so I couldn't test but it grabbed speedtest off the market in less than two seconds.
[EVO 4G General] Jim M:
Been home since 4:30pm today and my connection has been steady and no disconnects.

Supposed to get a replacement phone today, according to tracking info, UPS deliveries to my area are always late in the evening.

I can't believe Sprint couldn't just say there could be problems due to work on the system, rather than just keep sending me new phones???

One tech at a Sprint store mumbled "I wonder if the problem is due to the 4g testing they're doing?" He was speaking to another tech, not to me.
[EVO 4G General] jmglidden:
How much does ##RTN# reset? Will I have to re-root? Can I restore my nandroid afterward without undoing the ##RTN# reset?
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
It resets the software and programming in the phone. So what ever ROM you have flashed will reinstall. Instead of restoring a nandroid I would use titanium. I can't tell you whether a nandroid will Bork it or not though I don't think it should.
[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
Where is the 4G tower off of Inverness? I went from Dry Creek to County Line on Inverness and never picked up a 4G signal.
[EVO 4G General] jrun:
So my 3G problems seem to be fixed.. i didn't do any "tricks" or "hacks".. its juts working again. Also, i was downtown last night near Coors field.. wasn't able to get a 4G signal. Seems like they turn the towers on and off alot haha
[EVO 4G General] Kidmet:
Mine was working the past two days. Had the problem again about 10 minutes ago. Pulled my battery and put it back in and now it works again. The only reason I did that was because I have been changing batteries a lot the past three days. Hmmmm...
[EVO 4G General] Thomas1218:
I'm afraid of posting this for fear of jynxing it but I also have had no problems the past few days without doing any hacks or prl switches. /fingers crossed
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
I imagine it is on the Sprint call center. I haven't checked. It's on south inverness.
[EVO 4G General] Kidmet:
Looks like all is solved. My phone has been working great the past couple days.
[EVO 4G General] Thomas1218:
Same. I only had 1 lockup but rebooted and then all was good. Been problem free for almost a week
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
I also am no longer having problems, either at my house in Parker, or at the office off of I25 and Lincoln. I seriously hope it stays that way.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
I'm still getting crappy speeds for the most part but at least I haven't lost 3G data.
[EVO 4G General] jankyboy:
Speeds at work (near Fiddler's Green) are fair at best. Nowhere near as fast as back home in Colorado Springs.
[EVO 4G General] siwelk:
FWIW, I usually go to D&Bs (I25 & Colorado) every Friday after work.

Haven't picked up 4G there, but 3G is consistently 1600-1800k YMMV
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Was at the theater over there and was getting 600... so definitely YMMV.

Clearwire 4G Towers/Rooftops

We've mapped out each tower in the Denver area using Google Earth. Feel free to grab it here. We receive licensed microwave notices as to where they are putting their links so we used the lat and long and created it.

redrocksdatacenter.com/Clear-Apr-21.kmz

We have noticed that MC2 has installed a lot of access points, just no DragonWave backhauls yet. Last date I heard was October to light up Denver area.

I have a hero with flip rom and I noticed this yesterday but it is only at night time. Last night I was trying to use cardiotrainer on my walk home and couldn't get a gps signal at all. Looking at my phone know i am barely getting 1-2 bars.
[EVO 4G General] dpilcher:
Confirmed 4G at Inverness

Had to go check.....went to the call center on Inverness and 470/I25 and went into the lobby. Obviously coudn't go inside without a pass, but they do have 4G up and running there. Got a decent signal strength inside the lobby, but once I went outside..it dropped fast and couldn't see it after walking 20 feet from the building. Posting a screen shot, but was glad to see that my 4G works after flashing and wiping so much.
[EVO 4G General] kmartburrito:
Interesting...too bad I don't have a pass as that's RIGHT by my work. I might have to go up to the door and test real quick, ninja-like.
[EVO 4G General] thaprinze:
I work at a building overlooking Flatirons, and I'm getting a 4G signal with Speeds around 3,300kbps (using speedtest.net app). Unfortunately, when I move 4 cubes away from the window, my 4G signal drops to "poor". However, right next to the window I'm only getting "fair" reception. This is with a direct line of sight to the mall. I'm not sure where the tower is exactly, but I don't really care. It's WAAAAAAY better than 3G!!!

PS: I am still getting the 3G disconnects every few minutes. 4G was also doing that yesterday.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bockjacob:
Maybe I'm understanding this option wrong when hooking my phone to my computer. I just want to charge my device, but using the charge only option still mounts the SD card in explorer (preventing use on the phone obviously).

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

I'm in the cottonwood business center. I get a 4G signal, but I can't get an IP address.

Anybody in SLC with an EVO 4G able to connect? I'm wondering if it is just my phone, or if they're testing the signal before they turn on DHCP and allow customer devices to connect.
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
Out there yesterday and both my buddies with Evos got, connected and successfully tested a consistent 4G signal around 2100 South. Towers are going up!
[EVO 4G General] shep211:
Hell ya i will be in slc in 1 hr. I was told it would be up and running by the end of the month.
[EVO 4G General] wacbass:
I have seen 4G in SLC since Sunday after Launch

I have been playing with the 4G since the Saturday night after the launch. I live on east side and get one to two bars in the evening. I work downtown and the signal strength has been excellent! I have uploaded a photo showing the speeds I got a few days after I got the phone. 4G has been up and down here in SLC, but when it has worked it has been great! I can use the hotspot app on 4G and that has been smooth. I notice it is on at 8 ish and going on/off about 4 o'clock and then back on late after 9 p.m. to way late.

I purchased an HDMI cable last Thursday from an engineer who works for Sprint in the SLC area and he says that they have been testing since May from Ogden through Salt Lake and will have some in UT county in August. He claims it will soft launch mid July with official launch slated for August.

We shall see. All I know is, I hope it is up tomorrow cause i need to use the hotspot feature for a few hours in the morning right down town!

Any other EVO users out there want to get together and discuss your phones and future/possible ROMS please feel free to contact me. I have turned this phone on to a bunch of friends and peers and would love to exchanged apps/ideas to get the most out of it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alien76:
Hello everybody,

I have German Touch diamond 2. Ten days ago I updated ROM to official 2.5 manilla ROM in english (WWE). I have Olix 1.83 loader. The installation froze at 8 percent and switched device to three color mode, but then it resumed and it finished successfully. Everything was fine until today. My device froze two times in last 12 hours. The device turns off and I cannot switch it on again. I have to remove the batery for few minutes and then I can successfully restart it. What is wrong? Can anybody please help me?

Thanks in advance, alien76.

Anybody having any YouTube issues? I'm using the YouTube widget and when I go searching for a particular video ('lookin' ass nigga houston' don't ask, haha) it says 6693 results for 'lookin ass nigga' and then where video results show up it says 'No videos found.' This was really embarrassing when my buddy with an iPhone was able to look it up and I was not. I'm running DamageControl 3.0 right now but when the problem showed up it was using OMJ ROM. The problem shows up on both ROMs. Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on? When I look up offroad unicycling I get videos but this one in particular, not so much.
