stuck in 1x mode. - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im working on a friends hero and he seems to be stuck in 1x mode. i rooted, flashed a .6 rom and updated the radio, prl & profile and no dice...still 1x mode. i also reset the data profile to no avail. could he be looking at a defective hero?

have you tried ##3282#
click edit mode, enter your MSL, click evdo, click preferred mode and try setting it to automatic and then click menu and click commit modifications.
also try selecting other options like digital only, cdma only, etc. you need to click menu and commit modifications after every alteration though as the changes take place upon boot. this should at least help you identify if the device can receive a 3g signal.
also try *#*#4636#*#* click phone information be sure all the settings look ok as in CDMA auto (PRL)
good luck

a hard reset fixed it, thanks.

EVDO Problems

I have Damagecontrol V0.9999 installed and data network works great with me but when ever i flash any other rom it stops working and says that service is unavailable. It just starts for first minute when new ROM boots up and then nothing. Not even the icon comes on top
baseband is 2.41.05.02.03
software is 2.26.605.2
Any ideas guys..
Guys please help...
I checked and found out that Version 2.1 works fine on my Phone but 2.1 Update 1 doesnt work. Which may have caused this problems. Any Suggestions..
Not sure I can help much. I'm not with sprint so I'm not real familiar with their settings. I'm Making the Assumption you are. If not let us know what carrier you are with.
Are you able to update your profile from settings >About Phone >Network >Update Profile?
Does the mobile network say connected or turning on in Settings >Wireless & Networks?
It could Be PRI related check it in Settings >About Phone >Software Information and report back with what version you have.
Get that info and note anything else the you think may be relevant ad we'll go from there.
Thanks a lot for the reply.
I am with Reliance CDMA Network in India.
There is no Update Profile setting here >About Phone >Network >Update Profile
Does the mobile network say connected or turning on in Settings >Wireless & Networks?..It says Disconnected because service is unavailable. When i reboot my Device. The 3G ICON comes for a minute or 2 and goes away.
PRI Version is 1.70 in working and 1.70_003 in not working
It also could be an issue with flashing Sprint roms. You might try the bitter sweet Rom.
Do you know if it works in the few moments that comes up. I had reset my PRI and lost my EVDO but it would not work at all, the mobile network would just say turning on all the time and the phone would get hot.
I had to compare/correct settings in the EPST menu with another HERO from my carrier. To access the menu dial ##778# I think the password for edit mode is your MSL mine was 6 zeros yours may be the same. View Mode will not show the Security section info. The settings that finally did the trick for me are below
Security Section
HDR AN Auth User ID
(LONG)
[email protected]
HDR AN Auth Password ID
xxxx
PPP User ID
[email protected]
PPP Password
xxxx
M.IP Default Profile Section
NAI
[email protected]
The HDR AN Auth User ID (LONG) may or may not start with evdo but from 2 carriers that I looked at they were similar. The small x's will be specific to you carrier. The capital Xs were my 10 digit phone number. Like I said best thing would be to do a side by side compare of yours and someone's that is working.
If all this compare and are all good I guess it is possible it could be hardware related. Good luck
But it works with Darkchoid and Damage Control V0.9999 but not other roms. Do these setting changes with ROMS
Mine did that. I put in airplane mode and back to normal and it restarted the data service and now it works

guys plz help
Try dialling *#*#4636#*#* and go into "Phone Info". Hit the menu button then "More". There should be an option there to enable data connection. Also, did you make sure that Sprint DSA is disabled?
I am having similar issue but I have no internet at all . Just got a replacement phone today from nTelos . Got home , created goldcard and ruu to sprint . Rooted the phone and now the Evdo is not working ? I can make calls and receive and all that , however, no internet ??
I went ahead flashed Fresh Toast v2.1 and matching radio but still nothing ?? Any ideas ??

4g lte gone, ideas?

Ok here's the deal. Upgraded to ICS 232 and all went pretty much flawless other than motoprint no longer works. All was good and I was in happy land. However with ICS was stuck in 4g mode all the time and was sucking my battery like a hungry vampire. So I went into phone info and changed to CDMA auto PRL . Locked me in 3g only. Was back in happy land, battery life good again. Well I wanted to use my 4g so I went in to turn it on and it kills all data. No 4g, no 3g not even evdo. When I reboot it always resets back to CDMA auto PRL only.
Any ideas short of factory reset?

Turn off phone, remove SIM, reboot without SIM. After it's on, turn it off again, re-insert SIM and restart it. Try toggling 4G with *#*#4636#*#*
This sometimes works, as does toggling airplane mode

Same problem for me. I have tried toggling airplane mode, tried toggling wifi, rebooting, simply cannot get the phone out of cdma only (prl) mode.if anyone has experience in fixing this, it would be greatly appreciated! I even went though VZW's level 3 tech support and told then I have Ics on my bionic (which didn't void my warranty?) But they were at a loss...

you cannot switch back to 4g (LTE/CDMA/EvDo) if you have "Data roaming" enabled. Uncheck the data roaming box and try it again. Worked for me. :good:
Had this happen to me when I tried to enable Juice Defender's AOSP helper on the official ICS (though I had to update manually using HouseofBionic's method). It dropped me to 3G only, and the "preferred network" setting is grayed out, but showing LTE/CDMA. Clearly, the setting was inaccessible.
I uninstalled AOSP Helper, then disabled JuiceDefender.
Then I went into the Hidden Menu (that 4636 thing) and it says CDMA Auto (PRL). I tried to change it to CDMA/LTE/EVDO , then reboot, but it's still 3G. Went back into Hidden menu, it's back to CDMA Auto (PRL).
Went back in, change it again to CDMA/LTE/EVDO, but this time there's a "refresh" button below that, to update the IMSC I think. I hit that.
Reboot phone, now I have no 3G
Went to settings / data usage to toggle data, nothing.
Went to airplane mode, out, and voila, 4G/LTE.
Not sure which one of those actually forced the update, but it worked, so if someone else had the same problem, try that.

"Request" Droid 4 Flash to Pageplus Tutorial

Hello Everyone,
I've been tempted to purchase a Droid 4 but I'm currently on the Page plus Network. I've seen many tutorials for flashing 4G LTE phones on to page plus but I didn't really see a tutorial for the Droid 4. I was wondering since the D4 is similar to the RAZR/BIONIC, if I can just follow those tutorials. I really want to use the D4 and would appreciate it if someone were to help guide me through the flashing process.
Thanks A lot,
jeanr464.

So I received my droid 4 and unfortunatly it was shipped with ICS. So following a lot of the common RAZR/BIONIC tutorials didn't really work out well for me. I saw a lot of people also having trouble trying to get the Droid 4 to work properly on PP with ICS. So I just wanted to say I followed the following steps on this following tutorial and it worked our flawlessly and I was able to get my phone working on talk/text 1X data.
howardforums. com/showthread. php/ 1774610-Droid-BIONIC-ICS-manual-activation-talk-text-mms-3g-all-working
Now my only challenge is getting 3G Data. For every razr/bionic tutorial I saw they went to the Phone info (*#*#4636#*#*) to try to set the radio test settings to get 3G/EVDO. For some reason on my Droid 4 when I enter this it simply disappears on the dialer and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to get 3G working on the Droid 4. So far all I did was disable all the LTE APNs, Enviroment, lte bbpanic disable, and change the sim type to 3g test uicc.
Can anyone help me out with this?

OKAY! After hours of playing with my Droid 4 on ICS on the Page Plus Network, I finally got 3G to work!!!!
First off, I realized the *#*#4636#*#* aka the INFO code wasn't working on the Droid 4 model because it doesn't exist in the firmware. Instead going through the program menu (##PROGRAM) I was able to access the test mode there and change options.
From my D4 ICS experience, to get 3G instead of 1X I had to
1. Access the Program Menu from the dialer ##PROGRAM aka ##7764726
2. Enter the SPC (000000)
3.Scroll Down to LTE TEST SETTINGS
4. Click SIM TYPE and then Choose 3G Test UICC then click Apply
5. Scroll down to LTE bppanic and select disable then click Apply
6.Then Scroll down and Click (Disable Class 1 APN, Disable Class 2 APN, Disable Class 3 APN)
7. Then choose LTE Movement detection and select Disable.
8. Click back twice the phone will restart.
At This point according to tutorials you should have 3G but if you're like me and unlucky didn't have 3G then do this.
1. Go to the dialer
2. Enter ##PROGRAM aka ##7764726
3. Then enter SPC (000000)
4. Then click Test Mode
5. Click Next and then click next again then you should be on the field test Screen
6. HDR hybrid mode should be (ON)
7.EVDO revision should be (A)
8. CDMA RX Diversity should be (OFF)
9. HDR RX Diversity should be (OFF)
10. Finally look up to where it says Network Mode
11. Change it to EVDO only and Check the top where your signal bars on. Give it a minute, it should pop and say 3G. If it says 3G and you can proceed to the final step and change the network selection to CDMA and EVDO and then back out of the menu.
12. There you go! You should have 3G on the Droid 4 now in ICS running on Pageplus.
In Gingerbread it was a whole lot more simpler. I hope this solution will help people running ICS.

By the way. My 4G lte sim card was in my phone the whole time. I don't know if it makes a difference but from the moment I got the the D4 and started flashing I left my D4 LTE sim inside my phone.

Hi Jeanr464. Does the 3G survive a reboot? The link to the howard forums tutorial in post #3 seems to indicate you need to;

Hey devinpatterson!
I can't tell you how many times I rebooted my phone or my phone died and has to turn on. The 3G does stick after reboot and the activatiion doesn't come back. I guess once the phone is succesfully activated the screen doesn't come back. Once you configure your phone settings to get 3G just leave those settings alone. I can confirm on. The droid 4 that it sticks after reboot.
Although, I can tell you if you remove the sim then the phone acts crazy with activation and all that jazz. While I was experimenting for hours getting 3G on the phone I saw some places that you have to remove the sim. So I did. And then activation and emergency calls and everything popped back on,until I put the sim back and reboot the phone.
According to all the tutorials I saw and my experience as long as you use a blank lte sim and successfully activate the phone (manually/*228 etc) the phone sim is programmed to work with your phone and removing or putting another sim with cause activation and data settings to trigger again.
Hope this explaination helps! Best of luck,

Hi jeanr464. Thank you for all of this brilliant info about the Droid 4 with ICS. I'm a newbie also wanting to set up my new Droid 4 with PagePlus and wondering, does Snoop's step of dialing *22800 for activation work on this phone? If not, is manual activation something different, and if so, how do you manually activate? And in general, do all of Snoop's steps work except for dialing *#*#4636#*#* work for this phone?
Thanks in advance,

Hey tubaman101,
To answer your question, manual activation is basically manually programming the phone and doing all the steps that *228 would have done. From my droid 4 experience getting on to pageplus, *228 didn't work right off the bat because of sim restrictions or some type of error. What you have to do is manually program the phone first with the correct settings to make basic features works then you'll be able to dial *228 where it will correct everything and fix everything to work like data and roaming etc. According to Snoops tutorial, basically what the manual programming is is the step where he enters ##7764726 aka ##PROGRAM and fixes the min and the mdn and settings the cdma only option. From there you have manually programed the phone. Then after setting those options when you try *228 it should work and then *228 will correct and program automatically all the phone options which then you should have perfect talk text and 1x. To get 3G just follow my steps above on how I did it.
To make it all simple(I'm going to summarize snoop' method) once you get the D4 and a blank sim, insert sim, enter bptools (tutorial shows how), set the phone to nvonly and evdo rev a with cdma workshop, dfs tool or qpst (tutorial shows how to) then from there enter ##PROGRAM in the dialer manually program your phone min and mdn (if you don't know what it is you can request PP customer service or PM me to help you get it, and set your phone to cdma only mode (tutorial explains how) and afterwards *228 and your set.
After to get 3G follow my steps.
It was very troublesome for me at first because I had no clue how to do this but I've done 4 droid 4s and a razr with this method so far so I've became slight savvy with it. If you have ANY trouble just list it here or PM me and I'll be more than happy to help out.
Good luck,

Hi jeanr464. I sent you a PM about if it is necessary to load a PagePlus prl file during the process, but I have a couple more questions.
I started with the steps you outlined using DFS. I don't think the nvonly and evdo rev a settings stuck because I got some sort of error message in the DFS Tools log, and I was not able to complete the next step of dialing ##program.
I'm wondering if it is because my sim isn't blank. I bought my Droid 4 on eBay new. (It was actually a warranty replacement phone that had never been opened or used.) It came with a new Verizon 4G sim card on top of the box. I wonder if this card was "assigned" to the previous owner, and so perhaps isn't blank.
Do you think I need to buy a new "blank" sim card? …and if so, do you have any recommendations as to where to get one?
Also, I was wondering if the port I chose in the CDMA tools was the right one. I chose "COM 6" in the attached picture. Was that correct?
(In case it matters, I'm doing this in Windows 7 on a partition created on my Mac computer.)
Thanks again!

Okay, I don't think the sim card would be that much of a problem, but if the problem persists after trying the next steps then you can get a new one off ebay for 5 dollars like I did. In any case, you did choose the correct port in DFS tools. You brought up a very good point that I forgot to mention. You do need to load a pageplus prl. The one I used during the process was the 51720 EVDO prl. Once you find that one "google will be a great help", open up DFS tools and then make sure after you load up the program and select the port you enter the SPC 000000, its on the top right corner of DFS I believe ( I used Cdma ws). After that overwrite the PRL using the program and then make sure you set nvonly on nam 1 and nam 2 and set evda a. If you keep on getting errors with DFS tool let me know. In this case we might have to figure something else. In any case if you are successful, then once you trestart the phone you should if you hadn't already, bypass the activation or welcome screen, if you don't know how to do that let me know but if you are already on the regular screen with the apps and everything then proceed to the dialer and press ##program and follow the rest of snoops guide and you should be fine.
Honestly, the hardest part of this whole process is the programming on PC. After that you should be fine. As far as windows 7 is concerned, I used windows 7 and I was fine.
Enter the Phone in BPtools
Connect to PC
Go to system settings and make sure you got the diag port com #
Open DFS
Select the com # and read
Send SPC 000000
Load PRL 51720EVDO
Write it to the phone
Change nam 1 and nam 2 to NVONLY instead of RUIM
change data to EVDO REV A.
make sure all settings are written and restart phone
If you are at the welcome screen bypass it (four corners unlock) if the phone is at the regular menu with the apps then go straight to dailer and ##PROGRAM
Change MDN and MIN
enter test mode and click next until you see the options to change the phone network to CDMA only
click back twice and the phone should restart
at this point you should have somewhat some type of service but then press *228
It might reject it the first time but try again and the activation screen will come up and the music will play and activate your phone
After that look above to figure out 3G
If you still have trouble PM me and we'll see what we can do.

Forgot to mention one thing, after you program the phone on DFS tool you should switch the esn from PP from your other phone. Your MEID is the IMEI without the last digit so you should have 14 characters in total. Once you switch the esn or set a new activation from PP then proceed to the step with the ##program etc.

To make it all simple(I'm going to summarize snoop' method) once you get the D4 and a blank sim, insert sim, enter bptools (tutorial shows how), set the phone to nvonly and evdo rev a with cdma workshop, dfs tool or qpst (tutorial shows how to) then from there enter ##PROGRAM in the dialer manually program your phone min and mdn (if you don't know what it is you can request PP customer service or PM me to help you get it, and set your phone to cdma only mode (tutorial explains how) and afterwards *228 and your set.
After to get 3G follow my steps.
It was very troublesome for me at first because I had no clue how to do this but I've done 4 droid 4s and a razr with this method so far so I've became slight savvy with it. If you have ANY trouble just list it here or PM me and I'll be more than happy to help out.
Good luck,

Jean I think I followed all the instructions on here but it still says fail to connect NAM after I put in the MIN and MDN so I can never I finish programing my droid 4 to Page plus. Can you please help me.
Warning Droid 4 JellyBean Upgrade + Pageplus Users
Just a fair warning to everyone using Pageplus. As you all the Jellybean update has been released and your phone might've already offered to upgrade your OS.
DO NOT UPDATE!!!!! I REPEAT DO NOT UPDATE!!!!
Although JellyBean is very beautiful, this update will break your Page plus configuration. I had two friends already who were on Droid Razr/Maxx and updated to JellyBean. The whole CDMA WS config has been reset so options like NV_ONLY and evdo config has been erased leaving the phone in a non working state- In terms of calling, texting or data.
I'm very tempted to get JellyBean and everyone is looking for a safe solution to upgrade to JellyBean and have PP. As far as I've seen online, there have been successful tutorials but it required re-flashing the system to a factory state and re-configuring and other had it where you need a new sim and was necessary to root the phone. I'll be experimenting and posting my results soon. If anyone comes up with a success, please share!!!:laugh:
Good Luck and be pre-cautious!,

Working Perfect
I have my Droid 4 JB flashed working with full 3G on Pageplus never activated SIM and no problems. Same way as with the RAZR/RAZR MAXX. You can use any sim and not have any problems.
What was your situation?
How did you do it? I performed a straight upgrade and my config screwed up. Did you just reflash it and reconfigured it? Can I apply the same CDMA workshop method to this firmware?

Getting 3G to stick
Hey. Thanks for the tutorial on how to get 3G working. I haven't gotten it to work for some reason. I'm running ICS and I have 1X working. My girlfriend has the same phone and I did the same thing, but for whatever reason, not even 1X will work on hers. I did your settings in the ##program menu. The LTE and test settings. I'm not having luck getting 3G to stick.
It also seems that I cannot always get data to work by toggling wifi off. I have to not be around it or turn off my router. Getting 1X to work seems to sometimes be random. If I get 1x working and then If I go into the ##program menu now and turn EDVO only, 3G will come up for about 5 seconds and then disappear. After many restarts and trying things, 1X is all I can get. I wonder if it has something to do with where I am? Great Falls, Montana.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Try this.

Okay, I'm actually stumped about your situation.. Seems very awkward. In any case let's see what we can do. "Hopefully your on ICS and not JellyBean"
I'm going to post my phone settings and try to match her settings to mine. You said you already did the LTE bbpanic off , apns disable, and test settings...
Okay Go to test settings in the program menu, click next until you see the Field test screen and make sure your phone matches these settings:
Service Option - EVRC
HDR Hybrid Mode - ON
EVDO Revision- A
Network Mode- CDMA and EVDO
CDMA RX Diversity- OFF
HDR RX Diversity- OFF
then hit the back button on your phone twice so it can restart.
If 3G still doesn't work then we need to CDMA WS your phone. It would seem the there is something wrong with the EVDO settings. To me it sounds like the EVDO protocol might be wrong.

I can confirm I am not on Jellybean. I didn't update it yet because I thought it might break it. Also all of those settings match on both of our phones.
Lets Go Through Your Settings

Okay. So... I think it might have to be with the configuration of the phone. I believe it could be:
1. The PRL
or
2. EVDO settings
So we're going to have to CDMA WS or DFS your phone and check the settings. (Recommend DFS since everything is available.)
www.cdma-ware.com or http://www.cdmatool.com/
Put your phone in Bptools mode - (Turn off, press volume +/- buttons and press power, scroll to bptools, press volume up)
Connect it to the computer
Go to device manager and find out what COM port it's on.
Open DFS and select the ports on the top left, double click on the port of your phone (A green circle should appear next to it after your click) then exit out of the port selection screen.
Then on the top left of the screen under Ports you should see SPC. Click on it to unlock the SPC of your phone.
Now click on the Programming tab. Once you click the Programming Tab, Click on the NAM tab under ( It's between general and Data).
Now there should be a section to the right that says PRL. on the bottom click READ and then tell me what PRL number shows up. (The number is located in the box on top of the Read button).
Afterwards, click on the Data tab ( It's next to the NAM tab you clicked earlier)
On the bottom there should be a READ button. Click that button.
Now Tell me in your next post if the PPP config to the left has your phone number @dun.vzw3g.com and post all your the MODE settings
Ex:
SIP NAI= (Your Phone) @dun.vzw3g.com
UID=(Your Phone)@vzw3g.com
MODE:
HDR SCP force AT config: =
HDR SCP force release 0 config=
Hybrid preferred mode:
Data MDR (HSPD) mode:
Data service option:
I'll Post screenshots of my phone config so you can compare. Before you change anything POST what your phone settings display.
Hope we can solve this,

Does not downstep to 3g when LTE Lost.

I've had this problem across multiple roms. My phone will only transfer data on LTE, when I am in an area that does not have LTE coverage, my phone does not automatically downstep to 3g. It just loses data, and shows an exclamation over the signal meter. HOWEVER, if I go into cellular settings, and manually set 3g CDMA it will connect to 3g. All speeds seem normal LTE 15-30mbps, 3g 1-3mbps. I have no idea why it doesnt downstep to 3g on it's own. It's like it's stuck on LTE only. Any idea how to rectify this?
I posted this in the forum for my ROM just to see if anyone knew anything. Someone suggested I try a ##72786# reset while on Sense, and if that fails, try ##786# reset. I've done both of those with no success.
I just tried wiping my device again and starting over doing the hands free activation. Still not working. Anyone seen this?
*#*#4636#*#* choose phone info , then scroll down you will see a drop down list which you can choose from. I think the option you should be choosing is "LTE, CDMA" or the "CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto" , you can play around with other options as it's safe and reversible (avoid WCDMA options they will drop signal).
Also if you are using stock rom try updating prl from Settings > System Updates.

Thank you! I wiped and reflashed everything with a sense based rom a couple days ago. I just verified this setting, and it is set to "CDMA+LET/EvDo Auto" I'm hoping that the issue is resolved. I wont know until i'm in an area where i lose LTE. Thanks for your help.

Stuck on verizon 3G, previously had LTE working.

Hello I'm having some issues getting LTE to work on my Nexus 6 running BenzoRom.
I am only able to get 3G, when I previously had LTE working for a very long time. I'm not exactly sure what happened but I tried clearing, dalvik cache, cache, restoring default APN settings, restarting my phone, flashing a new rom, putting in a different sim card (with LTE working) and nothing fixed the issue.
I'm guessing I should just flash stock rom but I'd rather not go through the hassle. I think it might be my APN settings since I vaguely remember messing with it but I restored back to default and LTE still did not show up.
What the heck happened?
Have you gone into the phone menu? If not, *#*#4636#*#* then select phone... And look at my screen shot; at the preferred network type and the turn off volte flag... Yours may say turn on. I reboot after selecting the network and turning on the volte flag
Then in settings/more/cellular networks there should be enhanced 4g/LTE mode, turn that on of it isn't already.
Ya, I'm a dope... Adding the screenshot I referenced.
