aimbdd Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I was wondering if anyone can help me fix my data problem. It shows that i am connected to 1x but not 3g, and i have the data speeds to confirm it. I have called sprint and had them do all their trouble shooting. They just want to replace the device now, which I dont want to do. Never had good luck with refurbs. I am rooted, with a custom rom installed. I tried hard reseting, soft reseting, reseting the data profile from the ##data# menu. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyroscott Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Did you ever go back to complete stock? It could be a problem with the ROM or radios... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quickly changed back to another ROM I knew worked. Sent from my LG Viper 4G LTE using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimbdd Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Well i tried that, it shows "3g" but isn't connected to 3g. Still 1x speeds and it still shows 1x under the debug menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimbdd Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Any more suggestions? I really don't want to have to exchange my phone for a non s-off one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerbubba Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Any more suggestions? I really don't want to have to exchange my phone for a non s-off one.. I think you should consider yourself fortunate to get any exchange at all. That would be a gift. Does the warranty normally cover rooted and modded phones that stop working? The common sense rule is that folks who mod their phones are at their own risk from that point, especially for software issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimbdd Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 As long as the rooting isn't what broke it, sprint will replace it. Seeing as this happens even at complete stock.. If i received a new phone updated phone i wouldnt be able to s-off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you did, instead of going under settings to hard reset your phone go to the dial pad and type ##786#, I am not sure if it will ask for you msl or not(I don't think it will), hit menu then hit reset. This will hard reset your phone a little more thoroughly than just going through settings to do so. It may be a long shot but give it a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still 1x speeds and it still shows 1x under the debug menu. if you have an extra sprint phone, try doing an swap with it, then swap back (with the phone off) after a few hours (in a good sprint coverage area-outside) and try the ##786# again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
