3G just dropped and hasn't returned??

[Rippley05]

I've been on Viper rom for the past several months. Today my 3g just dropped and it will not turn back on no matter what I do. Airplane, reboot..nothing. Anyone had this issue? Could it be a PRL issue?

It's most likely not a PRL issue. Try updating your data profile, but more then likely it's a Sprint issue and nothing to do with your phone. My 3g has gotten so bad I don't even try to use it anymore. If I can't connect to WiFi, I just shut data off completely. Sad that Sprint has come to that.

Nah I doubt it. My G/f has Sprint, her phone is fine. A couple buddies at work have Sprint and they're fine. It's been like like the last 10-12 hours at work, they use their phones just fine while my data is 100% gone.

I'm on wifi now, I did a profile update and nothing. This is crazy...it's almost like I have mobile data switched off but it isn't. Never had this issue before.

Hmm, that worked... I've never even messed with that setting, weird that it gets borked outta nowhere.

Thanks a ton for the tip, really appreciate it. It is odd to me tho

Check your SIM card. If your towers have been upgraded to NV, 3G AND 4G data won't work if there is a problem with the SIM card. People have said the SIM only affects 4G data, but this is not true if the SIM card is removed or not detected in an NV area. Usually the phone will tell you if there is a problem with the SIM card though.

I just went through this on my new Red HTC One because the SIM Wirefly sent with the device was defective. I noticed I could only get 3G from my Airrave, and not any towers around here. That is because the towers here are NV towers and it is connecting in CDMA eHRPD mode for 3G/4G handoff, which requires a SIM card to work properly. I flipped the phone to CDMA only and it is working fine now in EVDO Rev A mode.

same thing happened to me i actually took it to a repair place thinking it was messed up and the tech said that said that it was something to do with them testing the networks. an i know after a couple of days i was able to switch back to the LTE/CDMA mode with no issues.
