Hello everyone.

I kinda found a fix that worked for me and I have been sticking on 3g since I applied it as I was stuck on 1x when I first booted up my phone, I am not sure if its a fluke but it sounds like a lot of you are having this issue so for you it may be worth a shot. I spoke to 3 level 1 techs and a level 2 tech, none of which were able to fix my problem, and they wanted me to return my baby! I said F-that and did what I do best and tinkered with the network adapters in the phone and got it all working just fine. This fix involves a reconfiguring your Broadcom DHD Network adapter in your phone, so please be careful and read all the steps listed below BEFORE changing anything!

To do this go to Settings->All Settings->Connections Tab->Wi-Fi->Wireless Networks->Network Adapters tab-> and then choose Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter.

The default setting is to use a Server assigned IP address and In a box you will notice your current IP address. ie, fe80::***:****:**** Choose to assign your own IP address and basically put anything in the fields. ie. ip = 192.168.0.1, subnet = 255.255.255.0 gateway = 192.168.0.1. Hit ok out of the fields. Now exit out to the main screen and then shutdown for 30 seconds.
Now, power up and go all the way back to the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter again.

Settings->All Settings->Connections Tab->Wi-Fi->Wireless Networks->Network Adapters tab-> and then choose Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter.

Choose the first option: Use server-assigned IP address. The server will authenticate you and assign an IP for you. Had this problem the first day of owning the phone, did this and have had a 3g connection since then (3weeks soild with lots of travel). Sorry but I did not find this forum until 2 days ago else I would have posted sooner. ^^

Hope this helps.

Now I do have a simple question for you guys, its really the reason I started reading this thread in the first place. I am more of a network engineer than a cell phone guy and its prob a basic question and you guys may laugh. Whats the difference between 3g and EV being displayed on my screen? I applied a new taskbar cab on my phone and its been saying EV since then and I wasn't sure if it was the mod that is displaying that or if its something else. Thanks for not laughing too hard!
