Stuck in 1x
 

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

Re: Stuck in 1x
 

try pulling battery if that dont work back up clear storage. ive never in my life updated profile/prl and never saw reason too.

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

Re: Stuck in 1x
 

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.

Re: Stuck in 1x
 

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

Re: Stuck in 1x
 

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.

Re: Stuck in 1x
 

ok I tried all of the above mentioned procedures and none work, looks like I might have to call sprint

let me know if you guys have any other suggestions, thanks!

EDIT: nvm after installing cookie tab and restarting im back to 1x, this is ridiculous

Re: Stuck in 1x
 

so the hard reset didnt work?

not the wipe device.. i did by going ##786# and had to put my msl code in and reset the device

Re: Stuck in 1x
 

ok this must have been a sprint thing because it randomly just went back to 3g, so weird, thanks for the help guys!

Re: Stuck in 1x
 

YOU SIR ARE THE MAN!!!!! that worked, thanks a lot I was going crazy

Re: Stuck in 1x
 

glad it worked.. :) i think task29 should also include hard-reset
