Its like the wifi if you have it on is will scan till it gets a signal or kills your battery!

Or this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=182

Also..can anyone confirm what the normal behavior is if you DON'T live in 4G area with the scanning. Does it endlessly scan or time out?

cool...but does anyone have an answer on whether or not the 4G radio continues to scan if you are in a non-4g area? Just want to make sure I dont have to change anything for future updates.

Basically, should the 4G contiinue to scan until it locks on a signal or should it time-out?

Im guessing it will time out cause it has a weak signal ya kno... IMO
But i was haveing the same issue im in chicago and 4G is available but it just keeps scanning never had a dropped signal cause it couldnt connect w the 4G, but all it does it stays in scan.. Did it for 20 mins straite n still no 4G... Will try what was posted a few up ^^

THANX!

From my experience, when there is no 4G signal it will continue to display "Scanning...". I recently got my 4G back up and running with the new kernel. I have been testing my 4G signal to make sure there aren't any more problems. I do ALOT of driving around the Philadelphia area (in and out of 4G coverage areas), and given the recent problems regarding the OTA update and 4G, I am CONSTANTLY checking my 4G to see if it is working. I can honestly say, it has held a 4G connection so good, I dont need to have 3G on anymore when I am in Philadelphia.

When I get back home I will download this rom and try it out on my evo. Chris' roms were ROCK SOLID on my TP2, and I know this rom will deliver. If there any problems I will report back. I had Sprint send me out a replacement Evo. I have been experimenting with my old one to find out what exactly I need to do in order to have everything functioning 100%. I have about 3 more weeks left before I need to send the old Evo back in to Sprint.

If there is anything that needs testing, please let me know. It gives me a reason to play with my phone.

Not using this ROM right now but the 4g is supposed to scan for a few minutes and then timeout. That's the default behavior. Does it on my current ROM, did it on stock too.

This ROM fixed my battery issue -- even if it is a coincidence, thank you very much!

I flashed back to stock and didn't see this happen. My 4G just scanned endlessly. I also called Sprint and was told that this was normal and that it will continue to scan in the background unless it locks on a 4G signal.

I dont live in a 4g area yet, hopefully soon! But mine does the same thing, continues scanning in the background.
