Hi guys,
My brother (who lives with me) replaced his old Samsung Moment with a HTC EVO 4G. I owned one of my own for over a year now and get great reception in my apartment and solid 3G coverage. However, my brother with whom I share the same Sprint Plan (we have a family plan) is constantly roaming all the time and missing incoming calls. He works on call, so this is very problematic for him
So far I got it rooted, and flashed to cyanogen 7.0.3.1 (though I reflashed to a Sense ROM to do some trouble shooting later - mostly to update Sprint profile and PRL)
Anywho, the phone won't accept calls for some reason. It makes outgoing calls without a problem and occassionally receives calls (but only from certain landlines like Google Phone), otherwise the phone call goes straight to voicemail. It's always roaming for some reason too though my block has the best Sprint coverage in half a mile radius and there's a cell tower about 400 meters north of us. Otherwise, all other incoming calls get sent to voicemail without the phone ever ringing or showing a missed call
My phone is exactly the same phone, with exact same carrier and will the exact same settings and configurations, same rom (cyanogen 7) and never misses a call, never roams, always gets great reception at my place. The other phone is basically the exact oppposite. The only difference I can find is the radio, but its the latest baseband version (just came out less than a week ago, while my radio is from like last year -so I doubt that's the problem) Flashed to a Sense ROM to update the PRL and the profile, doesnt help either.
It seems to me that it's not a problem with the network, but its something with the phone that I am overlooking. I dont want to give the phone back since that means I have to unroot it and flash it back to the stock Sprint Rom
What am I overlooking here?
P.S. I crawled up and down all the android forums for most of the night, last night - i couldn't find anything.
Please help - it would be tremendously appreciated
