I actually think this is a hardware issue. Better flash back to stock before you bring it in for any issues or they can deny your replacement. Sprint corporate repair centers have advanced testers specifically for signal related issues and without an antenna it will fail for sure. You may want to explain the issue started when your screen was replaced.

When they replaced the screen they may have screwed up the antenna internal. Generally, a tech will not do anything with the firmware/software when they are fixing hardware so I am not sure what happened with your apps.

Also, the part was likely harvested from another phone... If they brought the antenna from the other phone it could be defective (which is possibly why it was there to harvest from). It's also possible that your antenna is not actually in your phone.
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
wait I thought if you were within your first year they had to give you a new phone anyway?

I would definatly be raising a stink! Look you paid good money for the phone and hopefully you paid for insurance. dont let them give you second rate service. Go ask for a new phone and just transfer all your stuffto that one.

[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
As stated above, odin to stock, and ***** till its resolved. IDK if another sprint store is an option, but that can help, also calling into tech support and getting an appt with the repair center seems to help. Was just in today and should be getting a 'replacement' Monday, I have a purple line of what appears to be stuck pixels along the bottom or left side of screen. First sprint store, the brilliant techs tried to tell me it was a 'cosmetic flaw' and that they could fix it for 35 bux, knowing I have TEP... got home, called in, tech support guy was really cool, and also noticed that 35 bux applies to people w/o TEP, the only way money would be involved would be water, loss, etc... got an appt for today, and yeah... hoping the replacement is new... but whatever. Anyways, you have a 500 dollar phone, don't take any BS... the first guys even said to call sammy for a warranty.... idiots.
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
thanks for all the replies.

part of the tests included doing a factory reset. and that didn't work. I can't believe that doing a repair could completely mess up my phone even more. of course I'll ***** and complain until I get my way. I'm used to it with sprint.
[Epic 4G General] dee32181:
They probably didnt reconnect the antenna. I had to get my 3.5mm headphone jack replaced on my epic and when the sprint rep handed the phone back, I went outside and couldnt get any signal whatsoever. I immediately took the phone back and the rep reconnected the antenna in a matter of minutes.
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
this sounds almost exactly like what I'm experiencing. as soon as I return home or find spare time, ill go back to sprint and see if they can reconnect the antenna.
[Epic 4G General] scancel:
Definitely could be a simple issue with the antenna being plugged in. If it was reset already then its likely not software BUT... they will not replace it if it needs to be replaced if they notice that its rooted.
[Epic 4G General] stlswh101:
I had same issue after camera button failed. Antenna wasnt put back on properly. I had crazy signals.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
So you haven't tried odin yet...? Just a fw? What if your modem is just buggy...
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
Wrong. Sprint doesn't HAVE to give you a new phone. Its a fix/replace policy and if you don't have insurance it will cost you $35. That's a recent policy change. You can go through Samsung if your looking to excersise your one year warranty...but good luck on a rooted phone.
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
unfortunantly, my laptop is down right now. so I cannot odin back to stock. no, I've never had this problem before and judging by a few others, it seems that this is a common problem.
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
I will disagree with you, I do beleive that within the first year of you buying that phone they have to give you a replacement, But I will research this further and post my results.
[Epic 4G General] hdnet1:
I'll help with the policy, If you don't have a service and repair plan, or TEP, then they will charge you 35 for a repair, regardless of if the phone is in warranty or not. 35 bucks includes everything except board damage, phone coming in the store in two pieces, or liquid damage. I.E. something that can't be repaired anyway by anyone, I.E damaged beyond repair.

If you have the service plan, then you don't get charged the 35 bucks.

If the store can't fix the issue, they order a refurb phone that usually shows up in one/two business days at the store or to your house, your choice.

The only time you get a NEW phone is when you've had the device for less than 30 days, you can return it any time in that period or get it swapped out for a new one if there is a issue and the store can't fix it. You can return it for any reason as well during this time.

Anyway, like everyone stated, the issue with the phone is that the antenna is probably not hooked up. It's at the bottom of the phone, and is connected with a cable that has two connects on it, one at each end, at the antenna and at the main board. One or both of them is off the phone, and that could be fixed by anyone with a screw driver and a butter knife in about 5 minutes.
[Epic 4G General] boominz28:
Well that stinks:mad: if i buy a almost 600 dollar phone and say 2 months goes , if they send me a refurbished , im gonna raise a stink.
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
I do have insurance on it, so therefre I won't need to pay the $35 fee. I believe that it'll be a easy fix so I'm not even worried about all that other stuff.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
As an employee ill tell you I'm right.

Seems there is a specific 3.70 update for hw 002. http://www.androidcentral.com/evo-4g-update-continues-new-file-other-hardware-models#comments I wonder what the differences are?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBiz227:
I'm curious as well... does anybody have the build numbers for the different versions? I have hw 0003 and already used one of the available roms to update since I'm rooted. Want to know if I got the 'wrong' rom if it's worth going through the process of installing the 'right' one.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
IF it were actually a different rom, don't you think it would NOT have been 3.70.651.1 like they did the change for the 004's???? All they say for sure is it has a different file name. Unless someone compares the files, I wouldn't put any money on it being "different"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
May be a different update process but the firmware should be the same. I highly doubt HTC is going to release two different version that have the exact same version number.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
This.

Just because you got it later than the newer evos doesn't mean it's for the older hardware versions.

It just means the sprint service in your area was slow to push the update to you, its customer, for that region.

I find that alot of times androidcentral can actually jack up information just as bad as the rumors that are out there.

The author even said they had a hw002 evo and "finally" got the new ota. It doesn't mean squat about it being specific to that hardware. It just means the author is one of the many customers who are in a region that gets otas slower than others.

I downloaded that file and ripped it apart in dsixdas kitchen and it even has the same kernel as the supposed "hw004 3.70".

Bottom line is if it was really hardware specific it would at least have a different kernel version.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aph:
I flashed the 3.7 rom on this forum on my version 002 and no problems that I can see so far

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indagroove:
Sorry, but you are wrong. Bad info.

There are two different versions, but both update you to the same end result. They are different because they are updating from different software revisions. If you bother to look at the contents of the two updates, you would see that they are indeed different.

The two OTA updates are:

OTA_Supersonic_3.70.651.1-3.29.651.5_releasezq9ss6wyobuo26b5.zip

OTA_Supersonic_3.70.651.1-3.30.651.3_releasekobxwrvtv9q86pp0.zip
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
I stand corrected and Im not afraid to admit I was wrong. Like you said the end result is the same so it really doesnt make sense to push two different otas just to get to the same end.

In any case people here are going to get what they want on their device anyways regardless of hardware/version compatibilities.

I wonder what version JoeyKrim used in his 5.1 Rom. I hope he used the 3.29 and if not, hopefully he can make it.

Sent From My HTC Evo 4G Using Tapa Talk Pro!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indagroove:
It makes sense to have 2 different OTAs for the same end result, because you are updating 2 different ROMs.

It doesn't work like that. You can't really make roms directly from OTA updates. Since the RUU was released, all chefs will be working from that. In case you don't know, an OTA ("Over The Air" update) is really just a patch for a current rom, and only contains the updated files -- which is why you can't update OTA from a rom like CM6.X. What's referred to as an "RUU" (which really means rom update utility), contains the full rom with ALL the files -- NOT just the updated files.

If chefs didn't have the ruu, then there may be some concern as to which update was used. Basically to make a full rom from an OTA, you have to flash the OTA which updates your current rom, and then do a nandroid backup of the newly updated rom on your device, and then dump it and rebuild in the kitchen. But, like I say since we have the RUU (thanks to 911sniper, I think), all roms will be based on that.

This is finally the end of having to worry about which rom for which HW version. As I see it, the biggest issue is going to be people not wanting to update their radio, pri, and hboot versions for whatever reason, and causing issues with the latest software as a result.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billyapd21:
So do you suggest everyone should be updating their radios, etc?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indagroove:
Unless you are a developer and need the bootloader (hboot) version which supports fastboot commands via adb, I would personally update all radio, pri, nv, hboot, kernel, rom etc.. IF you have Unrevoked Forever installed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aph:
I would agree with this with the exception of the hboot.

Fastboot commands can come in handy to do things that can't be done any other way. Like say you break your 4G, with the only public solutions out there you'll need fastboot to fix it

indagroove, do you know if there are any specific benefits an updated hboot provides?

[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
what is a radio, whats the difference between this and a ROM for example?
[Desire HD General] mero01:
Correct me if im wrong anyone...

ROM is the operating system(Android) , its the image that you place on the flash memory that contains the various parts of the OS including the kernel.

RADIO in your phone is another computer in its own right and has its own CPU and RAM controls the phone. Controls Main phone functions :) a radio is a number of "radios" really GSM- Phone, GPS, Bluetooth, WIFI, its seperate because you cant have a rogue application effecting the performance of the phone. you cant have some live wallpaper causeing the phone to drop out because it is hogging CPU cycles!

& then the Kernel is the core piece of code that boots on the hardware and then loads everything else, the kernel boots then runs init, which can do several things.

You don't have to if you are happy with it. People usually change their radio because they have problems with their reception, GPS etc. and want to improve their performance.

then perm root came out, with the replacement of the h-boot
