Problems... Dropped calls and no signal

[w7excursion]

I had messed around with a couple of settings on my evo in the epst menu before and it caused a couple of problems. One was in the evdo menu, I changed it to other settings besides automatic and either my data was hella slow or I couldnt receive sms/mms. On my 3d it was set cdma. Changed it to automatic and data is a little better but we are still having a tower issue in my area so I will wait for that to be corrected to see if data returns to normal or not. The other was in the Advanced menu. On the evo the ACCOLC is set to 9 but on the 3d it was set to 1,at least on mine it was. I read (somewhere over at su)that the higer the number the higher your phones priority to connect to the network/tower is. As for the msl,call sprint they will give it to you and you can change these settings in the data menu. I would soft reset your phone after making the changes cause thats the wm in me lol.

Or/and would this help with this issue?????

I tried it and it helps with the internet but not the dropped calls/degraded signal. Think its gonna be an internal antenna issue- but i've been wrong b4. Divorce 3 times, LMAO

Would it be OK if I post this as a poll question - e.g. are you having problems with dropped calls/signal on your EVO 3D that you didn't have on a previous Sprint phone?

I think this is a pretty significant concern

Are you saying that this took care of the bouncing and you have now a solid signal now??

I having the exact problem and like everyone else this kills the battery, before i never had problems with TP2, now evo 3d is constantly roaming and show NO bars at time I can not even connect to 3d. if this doesn't get fixed in the next 27 days.. this bad boy is going back and I suggest everyone else does the same.

I am having the same problem as most of you. The problem is not severe enough where I can't make or receive calls but a few times my phone was in roaming when I should have had full bars EV. Also when it is not in roaming my data speeds are slower than even my Touch Pro 2 was. I have also had issues a few times getting it to connect to my airave. On the up side I was able to get strong roaming in an area where my Touch Pro 2 couldn't get anything. My guess is it is a software issue as my EVO worked fine the first day I had it. Then I accidentally did the automatic update and was having problems right away. I remember reading on XDA somewhere someone saying don't do the update.
