... Data Connection Problem??

[jempub]

Hello again...

MY HTC Hero seems to constantly switch between Ev and 1x.

And one day it was stuck on 1x for 5 hours! It really makes
my phone run slow and sluggish.

My Wife has a blackberry and she's always on Ev.

Any one else have this problem?

Talk soon,
G

Have you tried updating your PRL

 

[jempub]

I've updated to 2.1., updated profile, updated PRL and am up to date on software.

I also did a hard reset...DOH!

The phone seems to just not be able to pick up "Ev" for any period of time.

Thanks,
G

It maybe your location, have you tried it elsewhere other than your home to see, do you live near the city, in the country etc.. all these are factors

Blackberry's tend to get better reception in the first place, as shown by my girlfriend's blackberry having service in places I've never had service.

Yeah I live near the city. It just drives me nuts! One minute it's super fast on Ev and
the next second I can't even use my facebook app due to it being so slow.

Like I mentioned sounds like you are doing everything right, it is probably your location, you can call Sprint but they will not guarantee signal issues in your house!! but hey call them and see what they say

 

[jempub]

Yeah... I've called them and they want to do a "hard reset"...LOL Told them I
already done that...

Go to settings>about phone>software information. What baseband version does it say that you have?

I here you, Sprint solution to everything is a hard reset, LOL

 

[jempub]

LOL... Yep... All the hard reset does is make you lose all your apps...DOH!

My baseband version is: 2.42.01.04.27

That is the latest and up to date, what version is your PRL at, the latest is 60668

 

[jempub]

yep that's my current PRL

Okay... I've kept up a close watch on my Sprint Hero today and here's what I've
gathered as to the data connection...

It seems that starting around 3-5pm is when my phone tends to start switching
hard between Ev and 1x so I'm guessing this is due to an increase in users using
their phones after work or what ever.
