    Restart needed to reconnect to 4G

    I've found that if I lose 4G and my EVO drops down to 3G, it doesn't seem to reconnect to 4G unless I do a restart. Has anyone else had this and, if so, is there a fix?

    Frequent disconnects & low data speeds

    Well, I finally got some real answers (I hope). I had the same problems at work as I have all week, but not at home. I called Sprint again, gave my work address, and was informed that there is, in fact, a service outage that they started repairing, and it should be completed before noon tomorrow...

    Frequent disconnects & low data speeds

    I spoke with two customer service reps and a manager in the past couple days. I think getting somebody who really knows something is pretty rare. I don't blame those people, I blame Sprint for not teaching them anything other than how to stick to a script. I'm still not sure if provisioning...

    Frequent disconnects & low data speeds

    Thanks, if it doesn't clear up soon, I'll try that. Pretty bad that no one at Sprint could offer that as a suggestion. Does the data re-provision require a wipe of all your phone's data?

    Frequent disconnects & low data speeds

    Hope someone can help. The past few days, my data has gotten worse, and that's saying something. I was used to getting less than 400 kbps download speeds on 3g (no 4G here) but its gone down to double digits, like 25 kbps, and it now frequently disconnects completely. Uploads and ping are...

    New update 3.16.651.3.710D available now!

    Hmm, just checked my Maps version, it's 6.14.0. Weird, your version is lower than mine even though you recently re-installed? Mikey47 & top magoo, thanks for the info. I think I'll chance the update. Would either of you advise updating Maps as well? Like I said, it's working fine, but I prefer...

    New update 3.16.651.3.710D available now!

    I haven't updated yet, so this concerns me. I also haven't updated Google Maps since before the Jellybean update because of the problems other people were having. So my maps and navigation are currently working fine. Stephen, is your Google Maps the latest one (Dec 17, 2012 dated)? And to...

    WiFi automatically connecting after JB update

    Thanks, 84guy, that makes sense.

    WiFi automatically connecting after JB update

    Thanks, I did see that setting, but since it's also for 4G, doesn't that mean it won't connect to 4G if I turn it off? Right now, it's not an issue because there's no 4G in my area yet (thanks a lot Sprint!). But once there is 4G available, that seems like a hassle if auto connect to 4G and WiFi...

    WiFi automatically connecting after JB update

    I haven't found any other posts on this, but my EVO LTE now connects to WiFi networks without my say-so. It will frequently connect to networks I have saved, like home or at work, even though I don't have WiFi turned on. I can't find any setting for it, and it doesn't always happen, but it's...

    Is it possible my employer is blocking WiFi?

    I've searched online for an answer to this but have yet to find one. I'm wondering if it's possible for my employer to block a free WiFi signal within the confines of our offices. There is free WiFi available for the entire building, which I used to be able to connect to, though only in certain...

    YouTube app unusable over 3G, alernatives?

    I don't think I'm alone in this, but I can't use the YouTube app when I'm on 3G. It will play a few seconds, then stops to buffer, never to start again. Pausing to let it buffer the whole video doesn't work either. I assumed this was just a problem with the slow data speeds from Sprint, which...

    So my phone scares the bejesus out of me...

    I did. But my point is that I shouldn't have to. The alert I got was incorrect for my area, came at an inappropriate time (since there was no immediate threat) and the notification comes in like a phone call, which I can't change. The only options are to turn my phone to completely silent, which...

    3rd Party Problem Apps with Jellybean

    So far I've been having problems with audio and EQs, either players with EQ or external EQ apps. I get crackling sounds from time to time. I think it might happen whenever data comes in, like with apps that have ads or when I get notifications. Not sure if there's a fix or if this qualifies as a...

    HDMI TO MHL gone after JB update

    I know mine worked without the wall charger plugged in before, I used it that way many times. Maybe it was never supposed to work that way, but it did. I have the MHL adapter from Monoprice, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I had issues when I first got it where I would get choppy...
