I have the pre and today the 3g didn't work at all. I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I receive texts and calls and I can connect to Wifi but I get absolutely no 3g. I just wanted to know if others were having this problem or if it is my phone only.   11/04/2009, 12:35 AM   #2 (permalink) remix2000 Member     Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Phoenix, AZ Posts: 187 Thanks: 14 Thanked 67 Times in 44 Posts Your radio might be bad. I was having an issue in which I would show an EVDO signal but the moment I actually started using anything that involved data my Pre would go right the 1x rtt. I'm beginning to think it's a really common issue with the Pre because my replacement Pre that I've had for less then a week is doing the same thing and they've already ordered me another replacement due to... you guessed it a bad radio. __________________ Cellphone History- Audiovox CDM9155> Sanyo 5150>Samsung SCH-1000>Samsung N400> PalmTreo 300> Palm Treo 600>Palm Treo 700P> Palm Centro> Palm Pre _______________________________________________ If You'd like to donate for my time on custom wallpaper and icon requests please use the link below.

We know Palm is pretty friendly about patches so far but Sprint might not be as forgiving __________________ Cellphone History- Audiovox CDM9155> Sanyo 5150>Samsung SCH-1000>Samsung N400> PalmTreo 300> Palm Treo 600>Palm Treo 700P> Palm Centro> Palm Pre _______________________________________________ If You'd like to donate for my time on custom wallpaper and icon requests please use the link below.

Will it mater if i bring it in with all the patches on or should i take those off? Definitely take them off. I had an obvious hardware issue and Sprint fought me on it because I had a South Park theme installed. The repair guy was actually shockingly rude about it. He even gave me crap again a week later when i was in for a different reason!!!   11/04/2009, 09:59 AM   #7 (permalink) skidmark Member   Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 90 Thanks: 29 Thanked 10 Times in 10 Posts I work in Niles, in a 3 story building, and I have no problem getting 3G connections   11/04/2009, 11:41 AM   #8 (permalink) dmac250 Member   Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 22 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Live in Fox River Grove/Work Around Arlington Heights No issues here.   11/05/2009, 09:23 AM   #9 (permalink) pieceout92 Member   Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Well yesterday(2 days ago was when i first posted) I had no problems.
