Yep, phone is a POS.....

Have you tried updating your PRL / PRI?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
How about you give some details?

PRI?

PRL?

Hboot?

ROM?

Kernel?

Signal strength (in -dB)?

Do you get the same results on another ROM?

Do you get the same results in another area?

How much data have you used this billing period?

Same issue with me. Called Sprint tonight andsaid I was going to leave for t-mobile. Said I would sell evo for 300 on ebay to pay for cancellation. They covered next months bill (150) and an airave. I am now using the roaming hack (prl 31005) and if they kick me off then I will go to T-Mobile.

At my home I get pathetic 3g speeds, maybe 100 kbps or so, but for whatever reason the 4g is stronger than anywhere else in the country I've been. Consistenly 8-9 Mbps. Is that common, an almost non-existent 3g connection but an awesome 4g connection? Needless to say I'm on 4g all the time at home.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parmend:
I need help!! I have flashed myns Fls5 and the 4g connects but doesn't load web pages . It gets stuck all the time . I've downloaded adfree and have the updated radios. 3g works great . I've tried to search for this but no help so far thanks

Might be a long shot but do the 3G connection fix.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10781368#post10781368

Also I had this issue in NYC where it slowed to a crawl on 3G to the point where it wouldn't even load google.com

I flashed another ROM and everything was good but one thing I did notice was when I did a speed test using Speedtest it said the closest server was in the UK for all the tests I ran that day. I was pretty baffled by that.

So unless Sprint is routing all of their connections to the UK, they are just lagging. Try another ROM and if its the same deal and you have everything updated, call and flip out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patelkedar91:
Do the 3g connection fix a couple posts up/back.

Check what rom you have. If you have a rom with adfree in it, then install it and uninstall the application from the market. Then reboot.

I'm actually getting better speeds now that I moved to a different rom. Weird, eh?

Myn's was giving me trouble with that because of adfree.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
I've been having this problem for months now, while my friends evo doesnt have this problem, and none of the evos at the sprint store do. But mine does, along with many people here. Ive had the phone replaced 6 times, so obviously its not a hardware problem.

I have spent MANY MANY hours on the phone with sprint, and the executives have basically told me, unless 100 people or more have the same problem in the area, they wont send anyone out to check the network. Since apparantly I'm the only one in my area with this problem, they refuse to send anyone out.

Yes, everything. I have done everything the techs on the phone and in the store can do. I have gotten 3 refurb evo's and 3 new ones, all have the same problem. When I roam on verizon (using the verizon prl) even with 1 bar of verizon service I get 10 times as fast as I do with 6 bars on sprint.

Hi, welcome to the forums

Maybe is that you are pressing too much your phone to your face / ear while you are talking.
[Touch2 General] Mobtel063:
Is there any way to avoid this ? with some program or similar

phonEx

You can try PhonEx. i think it got back screen off option while your phone is connected. So you can avoid call ended button pressing problem.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BenEadir:
Hi all,

I've a Samsung SGS and I got the offical 2.2 update then rooted with z4root and installed OCLF. What a difference, the phone absolutely flies along.

Since then I've replaced the stock dialer with "Dialer One" which works really well (I tried aTAKEphONE but didn't like it), installed the Whatsapp IM client as a lot of my contacts have BlackBerry's and Whatsapp is a cross platform IM client and also installed the PhoneUseage app to keep track of my VF plan and not allow them to screw me each month for out of plan useage.

I now have two problems which I feel are related to installation of the above apps but have no way of proving it.

1. From time to time when I hit the "Home" icon the phone returns to the home screen but only displays the bottom four apps and it takes up to 20 seconds to refresh the home screens (I have a total of 5 home screens) with the other icons and widgets. This is a serious Lag which seems to be preceeded very briefly by the aplication I am exiting blowing up in size by a huge magnitude i.e. if I am running the Internet app and I hit the home screen for an instant the internet page I was looking at appears to zoom in to the maximum amount (literally a split second) then it switches to the main home screen with just the four bottom apps and then up to 20 seconds later the rest of the homescreen icons and widgets appear. During the 20 seconds the phone seems 'hung' but afterwards it flies along again. This only happens intermittently and not on exiting any one particular application as far as I can tell. Thoughts anyone?

2. I am unable to remove the missed calls notification from either the drop down notification area (when I tap on the notification it doesn't bring me to the missed calls list on Dialer One) and the same applies to the orange jigsaw notification if the phone is locked i.e. if I unlock by moving the orange jigsaw piece with the number of missed calls on it to the appropriate spot when I lock the screen again and go to unlock it I am still presented with the missed calls jigsaw. I suspect this has something to do with the notification actions looking for the stock dialer app whereas I'm running Dialer One but I'd appreciate your thougths if you've had a similar issue and how you resolved it. The only way I'm able to remove the missed calls notifications is by doing a battery pull which is a royal pain in the ass.

Lastly, I'd appreciate it if someone can tell me why certain apps show up in the list of apps displayed by the Automatic Task Killer app and others don't? Dialer One being a good example. I've installed the app and it's now my default dialer but it doesn't show up in the Automatic Task Killer list of apps, same with the Whatsapp IM app.

I look forward to getting your thoughts.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DamianGto:
Well you do use apps that's mess with you system.

You don't need an other task killer.

I don't think its Oclf fault.

But you can always try a custom kernel and a better lagfix.

I just saw the link to drivers. Do i just install them to my laptop?
[Epic 4G General] hardrock121:
I guess t should be.. I am just compiling the steps.. I am about to try them and see how it goes..

Edit: Mine wasnt being recognized either.. and I installed the 64bit drivers from above link and it identified it right away.. no issues.. flashed back to DI18.. just that all data/apps are gone..but that was expected since its a full wipe. Was surprised that the contacts are gone too.. but I can live with that:(

[Epic 4G General] daveshow:
Like to inform you guys the DK28 is not the official release. Sprint has not corrected the fix for the GPS. http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/52685#
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I don't think the way you are going about this has anything to do with the problem. I think the tar file I dl on Friday had a problem as the GPS wasn't the only thing that was bad when flashing to 2.2.1.

So I decided to flash back to DI18 and then flashed the DK28 modem. I then booted into CWM and ran the latest Froyo Quantum rom. After boot my GPS locked on (outside) to within 10-15 feet in < 5 seconds (better than it has since launch day). Inside my apartment it won't lock at all, but the walls here are steel reinforced concrete so I wasn't expecting it to lock on indoors. I will add in the GPS fix (found on the Quantum thread) later tonight and see what happens.

So far the only problem I have noticed with any regularity is a FC of com.android.phone when hanging up on a phone call.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
You did know that you are on a smart phone enthusiast site that thinks having a good time is playing around with all the custom roms, right?
[Epic 4G General] mustangdvx:
Well I dont know what the hell I did, but through the process of ODINing to di18, losing root, rerooting, GPS still not working, trying the *# thing still not working, then restoring from a nandroid that bootlooped to ODINing to dk28, then restoring again, I now have working GPS. lol
[Epic 4G General] daveshow:
you got to think the information that was posted are for people that are freaking out. running around with there heads cut off like a chicken. best way to inform someone is to give all the facts, and if it does not work once or twice. maybe never. they can come to the relaztion there phone is not broke. maybe you have no clue who comes on the forums to find out information, but i understand your point. I went from many custom roms dk28. Ive had my wifi not work nor my gps was working as expected. got alittle tired of odining my phone, and clock working my phone. to realize there is no confirmed fix. being back to di18 everything working as expected. do not get me wrong dk28 runs much better, but i need all the atributes the phone provides wifi gps etc... Those where the only confirmed problems i have had. great props to the devs
[Epic 4G General] wettems35:
ok i followed every step, but when hitting start on odim this came out.

now my phone is stuck in the downloading screen. what do i do to restart my phone to see if i didnt mess it up
[Epic 4G General] lrosenman:
Make sure there are no spaces in the filepath and name. I also had issues like this with parens in the name.
[Epic 4G General] wettems35:
in the filepath? the file names that i put on the pit and pda section? the names have no spaces or parenthesis, just underscores which i think belong there

is it safe to unplug the battery to get it out of the download screen on my phone? its been stuck there since the attempt to go back was unsuccesful
[Epic 4G General] lrosenman:
File path too, like my documents.
[Epic 4G General] wettems35:
this didnt work neither. i even moved the files to a directory that only has one word as well.

and the pda file reads like this-

C:Users\oem\sph-d700-dI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5
[Epic 4G General] hardrock121:
Its the md5 file thats messed up .. use the other link I posted above.. that works.. the file uploaded on the first link seems to have issues.. i got the same .. used the other link and it works fine.. try it.
[Epic 4G General] Toast95135:
Rename it, take off the .md5 from the file name. I just did a slow double click and changed it and it went from an unknown file icon to a Winrar icon. Just plug it in to Odin and it'll be done in a few minutes.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
Just a note. This guide is spot on. It worked like a charm for me last night. Only thing I flash back to DK27 instead of DI18. I OTA up to DI18.

[Epic 4G General] shook187:

Good luck with that. I hope encouragement to search beats smart aleck comments that depress you further.

Search Android Central, there are some good people over there. They read these forums and import tech stuff too.

As an example, I couldn't get the update.zip to work on my phone which is highly used here. Went there, learned Odin and worked great to upgrade, downgrade. There are a couple of good Mods to help
[Epic 4G General] wettems35:
Thanks for the advice. It sure does help more than pointless posts. But luckily I fixed it last night. I got it into recovery mode and wiped completely. Downloaded the dk28 file once again (it was supposedly a new one) and ran the odin process once again and it worked.

I hope someone can help me. I installed the update.zip to to 2.2.1 and lost my GPS. Found several threads about using ODIN to back out FROYO and tried to do that. Problem is I keep getting the message USB Device Not Recognized. I have installed the drivers from Samsung (In fact I uninstalled and reinstalled them several times). I tried to use an old PC but it is running Windows ME and the drivers won't install and ODIN won't run on that machine.

Another trick I found on drivers - they are a pain in the ass to load sometimes, at least on my old computer.

On new computer, Windows 7 64 bit, they wouldn't load, so tried 32 bit.

Worked like a charm, no idea why, and don't care.

Try that if they are acting up.

Well I finally got it working - Bad cable. Both the one that came with the Epic and a cheap one I bought on Ebay. Works like a champ with the cable from my wife's Samsung phone.

Following the instructions worked to get me back to 2.1. Going to stay on 2.1 until after Christmas to see if the rumored Dec. 26-30 rollout of 2.2 is legit or not.

A couple points of clarification that would have helped me in the initial instructions:

Download mode - you have to HOLD the power button while pressing the 1 key, not just press the power button like you normally do.

If you successfully get into download mode, you see a yellow digging Android.

If I would have known those 2 things I would have wasted a lot less time.

Has anyone tried this method with a rooted phone in which bloatware apps were uninstalled? I removed amazonMP3 and Nascar and some other junk. But I was wondering if I could still odin back to DI18, and then follow the procedure. Thanks
[Epic 4G General] TallCan211:
I had previously installed DK28 by downloading the first leaked file and using Clockwork. GPS wouldn't lock at all. Phone was rooted using One Click Root and got rid of a bunch of Sprint bloatware.

Used Odin to get to stock DI18 (which unrooted phone), wiped phone (for good measure) and used Odin to flash DK28. Make sure to not use the original DK28 leaked file and the one that hardrock121 says to use in original post.

Just checked my GPS and locked right away. Have to go back and re-root phone and install custom ROM...but I'm sure the GPS will stick now.
[Epic 4G General] juanaraya92679:
Does anyone have random gps signal drops after it's working for 5-10 minutes? and then the gps signal gets a lock and continues to drop every 5-10 minutes.
