Lost EVDO in my house!

[superman651]

Can someone help me. I have lived at my current residence for over a year and have had EVDO service. Just until recently (3 days ago) my Sprint TP2 wont stick on EVDO. I believe it I still have a Sprint signal just not EVDO. I have to wal nearly a block away to get back my EVDO signal. Like I said, I have always had it at my apartment but not anymore. Any ideas before I call Sprint? At my last place I wasn't able to have EVDO because I was right near a cell tower and since I was basically directly underneath it I was in a "blackout zone" I think the Sprint Rep told me. When I looked at there map on their website, my old apartment was in this little triangle which was not EVDO but literally a block away I could get it. The triangle (blackout zone) was in the middle of there EVDO coverage which went on for miles in all direction. Could I be in a "blackout zone" from a cell tower being put up nearby? Thanks for any help anybody can provide.

By the way, I love flashing and do it quite often. Could flashing be responsible for frying my 8gb sandisk micro memory card? Could flashing also be responible for my signal loss?

no rom is responsible for signal loss

I had the same problem...I lost evdo on friday was was stuck in 1x....after no help from sprint I found a thread here about resetting the phone and letting it reprogram itself. You dial ##786# and choose reset from the menu. Enter your MSL and wait a few as it reprograms itself and hard resets. Afterwards I was back in 3G...

Unless you flashed a new Radio. That would definately affect your signal.

Heres what I would do if I were in your shoes:

1st Flash back to the stock sprint rom and radio...see if that changes anything.

2nd (which might be easier than the first) Find someone else with a sprint phone and see if they get EVDO at your house. That would be a sure fire way to know if your phone has a problem

Its not unlikely that the engineers in your area shifted a towers transmitters by your house. It sometimes happens when they create new towers, the grid has to get re-aligned or shifted because of another area with a deadzone.
