Help 3g keeps switching..

[asfastpitch2009]

first time ive had this problem. Ive had this phone since july last year, but now it keeps switching from 3g to 1x every few seconds.. Maybe a network problem?

I use to have this problem a lot. It stopped at some point, maybe when I rooted.

I believe there was a lot of speculation on this board about why some phones do that, I'm not sure if anything was figured out though.

wish i could help more....

I had this problem losing 3g a lot so i called vzw. They told me for some reason my phone was showing up as being in a roaming network. They asked me if i had dialed *228 outside my local area but i hadn't. They said if you do that sometimes it will stay that way even if when you get back to your local area you try *228 again. So they reset things on their end and it's been working fine since. Haven't gotten 1x since. So maybe you could try that. Another thing to try is *22899. That is something else they have had me do.

... and if everything else fails, check the list of recently installed apps. In the past I found it to be the root cause of most of my unexplainable behavior problems.

It ain't other installed apps. I have had this issue in NYC ever since I first got my DX. Upgrades, roaming rpl updates, and what not have NEVER resolved the issue. Makes me crazy. I wonder if they are allocating bandwidth.

Im now getting 1x more than ever before. It always goes back to 3g after turning airplane mode on/off.
