3g/4g issues

My phone just can't get any service when I'm using the sprint connection but it works fine on WiFi. It used to work perfectly fine but in the last couple months its betting getting worse.

I added a screenshot of what it shows. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried updating your Sprint Profile & PRL?

I have tried that and it still didn't work

I have a Gnex and had this problem, a reboot and battery pull worked for me, but it was nerve wracking.

Knowing what Rom you're using may help. There may even be an update for it. I had the same thing happen with Sourcery a few months back. I just reflashed the rom, and all was good after that. I later went back to full stock just because each rom seemed to have issues that cropped up, and right now, I just need a phone that works, not that needs tinkering with to keep it working.

I know what you mean about each ROM having issues. I tried JBSourcery, ParanoidAndroid & now I'm on Mmuzzy's. Only thing keeping me from going stock is the NEED for tethering.

Do what friedtators did and "dump sprint." Frankly, Sprint does have horrid reception and with all the promotion the other carriers are coming out with, it may be that time. Also, have you tried a system update? If you have, I apologize; it's just some people lack common sense

Mine likes to take forever switching from 4G to 3G. Then it will get stuck on 3G when I know I am in an LTE area and I have to reboot the phone to get it to recognize LTE again. Sometimes if I am in a 3G only area it will take up to 5 minutes to acquire data signal after rebooting the phone. I am running Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 Official Stable build.

I don't want to dump sprint as they have the best coverage where I live (Besides Verizon which is more expensive with limited data) My wife has tried T-Mobile, and now is on AT&T and neither of them hold a candle to the Sprint 4G LTE coverage I get in town when my phone isn't being stupid.

Instead of dumping Sprint or any other, I suggest you do a little research. I'm sure you have many equipments to do that. Not everything is provided on a silver platter.

I don't have this phone but a friend does. I was able to fix his issue by setting the carrier to "Sprint" and his data to "GMS/CDMA Lte" because for some reason they were not showing in his INFO.
Check your info by typing *#*#4636#*#* on your dial pad and Send, and check the info I mentioned earlier.

After the 4.3 update, I was having a bug when I'd leave 4G coverage, I would loss my data connection. It was almost like the phone got "suck" on 4G and couldn't get a 3G signal. I'm rooted (stock Sprint ROM), so I flashed the older GA02 radios, and it solved the issue. The new radios that came with 4.3 seem to be buggy.
