The reason you have better coverage with edge is because att has more edge coverage than 3G..there are more towers with edge enabled that's why...I don't think you can fix it probably the best solution is to disable 3G in areas where signal is low..
Okay so in my house use edge and then just connect to wifi

I was driving to Carmel, Indiana from Dayton and stopped in Richmond. Signal went to from 3g to edge to no signal. Then all the sudden I just see G. Anyone else ever seen this? If so, is it just the 1g network or does that even exist?

I've seen it before in my travels. Not quite sure what causes it to display that.

That would be 1G, if I'm correct. Some areas of the country are still lagging enough behind (or the signal strength of Edge or higher isn't strong enough) that you will see the G logo when you're getting G coverage.
Anyone know the code to change to just edge

Its *#*#4636#*#*
But for whatever reason its not an option on this phone. Seems like att didn't want us turning their 4g off....

Yeah if I remember right the O3D roms had the option to use just edge in the network settings. Good ol' AT&T
The code works i'm on edge

What did you change to switch to use only EDGE? When I put in that code, I get a testing menu and I don't see any options to change it to 3/4G or EDGE.
This is the only complaint I have about this phone. I'm in an area just outside 3G so my phone is up and down constantly trying to pick it up and just staying on EDGE would fix that issue.

GSM .

There's no GSM listed as an option using the code listed above unless you have a different version than I do.

I have the same issue. Using the stock Thrill ROM. I get the same test menu but do not see any option for forcing EDGE.
Any suggestions?
I just got back from the AT&T store in my area to ask about getting the micro cell tower for free (I hope). I asked the salesperson there about having any ideas to just using the EDGE network. His response was "AT&T is slowly getting rid of the EDGE network." When I asked about LTE rolling out for the Pennsylvania and Philadelphia areas (This will matter to us who resides in these areas) He told me "By Summer or Fall of 2012 it should be rolled out."
If anyone living in a bad cell range who has AT&T try and get the micro cell for free. It's 200 bucks out right and I have only heard mixed reviews about it.
I now must continue my regrets of jumping on AT&T.

Did you go under the phone information once you put the code in? I am able to select GSM. It does save battery

I don't live in an LTE area normally, however I flew to both Dallas and Houston a couple days ago which are LTE areas. I did have trouble staying connected to LTE for long but I wasn't there long enough to tell if the weak connection was due to the airport/bad range/something else. I would flicker between that and 3G pretty often when I was using my phone, but I was also moving all over the place.
Yea it's a known issue with the Evo LTE just checking if it's still a problem. Thats the only thing that aggregate me. Just hoping it's not on the ONE im fixing to upgrade

It connects a lot better to 4G but does not hold it very well in fringe LTE coverage areas from my experience all over florida
This is an ongoing gripe of mine. I'm wondering if it's just me or if other people have this problem. When I'm on 4g it intermittently turns off data for a few seconds. The 4g icon goes away and comes back a few seconds later interrupting my connection. Only happens on 4g. If I set the mobile network to just 2g or 3g I don't have this problem. I've tried lots of different modems. So I'm wondering if it's an Optus thing or an issue with my phone? ?

probably poor coverage of 4G network
Why 4G when 3G is enough for watching video etc etc?
And it drain more battery also

I'm literally right next to a big city. Its not a coverage thing. If I have a 4g phone why not use it. I get about 24 hours of battery life from it so that's not an issue

So I'm at work for 12 hours tonight sitting here thinking something must be able to be done about my poor signal at work. Once again I dive into the service menu and start going through the network types one by one checking signal strength, asu, and tower info. When I switched to lte/cdma I get full signal lte. I'm pretty sure this is coming off of a Verizon tower about 1/4 mile from me which is awesome however I'm wondering if any of you have done this on previous phones with AT&T? have you been hit with roaming charges? Any negative effects? Comments in general?
Notice in the picture the tower info is different, my imei has changed, my phone number is gone. However it says that I am not roaming and gsm is in service.
All phone features calls, internet, and text work without a hiccup.
