Ok so i been having this issue since 9/21.. I keep on loosing my 3g signal for no reason... Im always with out signal.. Is this happening to any one else?? I have my phone rooted and i have joneidys custom recovery.. I also flashed joneidys sense rom..
I dont know if the rom is the problem or what so i restored my phone back to stock and i still have the same problem.. What could i do to fix this??? Please help me??
 
I know a few things u could try, however these are simple theories and may or may not help. You could use an app on market called lte onoff (its for Verizon's thunderbolt but it works on our phone) or dial *#*#4636#*#* and you will see either cdma only, cdma auto prl, or possibly even evdo only. If u have no service at all without 3g, this may solve your problem. Just switch the options around. Another option is to update your prl. Of course if u have 3023 already then forget this option. U can download it and flash it on your phone manually via my support thread or the thread that uses cdma workshop. (Requires common sense and thinking if new) other than that, u might just be suffering from metro's infamous middle finger as they removed evdo from ur area or it just went down. In other words, your luck is shit like mine when it comes to 3g. Have fun, hope I helped.

I tried everything you said.... I tried the lte on/off app.. I switched it from cdma auto prl to evdo only and my Internet works great but messages and calls don't work.. I updated my prl from 3020 to 3023 and its still the same thing.. I flashed and reflashed roms but nothing works. I don't know if the towers are down but I don't know think so because I called 611 and they didn't say that the towers were down so I don't know what's happening???

Try just using *228 and pick the updated roaming list option.

I was having the same issues and had to go back to the OTA prl to get my service to work again. 3g just is not working right in some area's.
