Stuck in 1x

[lemeiux1]

has anyone on sprint had trouble with not getting a 3g connection? I am stuck in 1x and I have never had a problem with my data before. I flashed back to sprint stock rom and updated profile and prl but that didnt fix it

does anyone know anything else I can try?

thanks

Try what Darren said, although it may be Sprint screwing with the towers. I've been having all sorts of screwy signal lately in places where I never have issues, including with my airrave, and according to Sprint techs a lot of the issues w/ signal fluctuating are them playing with the towers for 4g and crap like that. I've seen signal go up and down throughout the day where it's always perfect, so who knows.

right on with that. one day i went into roaming within my house where i normally get between 3 and 5 bars. on the other hand there is this one signal trouble spot i noticed in chicago that i really dont know the cause of it. in the albany park community area on lawrence ave between california and kedzie ave i often find my signal repeatedly fluctuating between Ev and 1x as if I'm getting a text. dont know the reasoning behind this. but maybe someone who actually lives in that area can chime in, i only commute through it,very annoying when trying to use bus tracker.

ok nothing really worked so I'll give it a few days and see, if nothing changes I'll call sprint

thanks guys

did you have wmlonglife installed before? i know there is a certain way you have to uninstall the wmlonglife. if you dont, then it will be stuck in 1x. i went through this last week. Only way i got it back was after i did a hard reset

try it

actually yes I did, but I have since flashed to a few different roms to try to get it back, maybe I'll try installing it again and see if I can get it back, thanks!

Which Sprint Rom and radio? If you're using the Sprint 6.5 flash the 6.1 and see what happens with the different radio.

yes i had the same issue too... apparently the radio stuff survives after several task29.. you have to hard reset... i guess you can try installing wmlonglife and setting it to auto 3G and then un-installing it

Shortly after the device was released, there were several issues with VZW users getting stuck in 1X for extended periods of time. I'm not sure if there was ever a resolution or way to prevent it. Possibly flashing a different radio would work though.
