After updating to jcase's ruu update I can no longer receive data when on 4g only 3G. Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Any fixes?
I'm in same boat with you.

I tried this and it worked. I downloaded the lte on/off program from the market switched my phone to just 3g and rebooted. When rebooted turned the 3g to lte only and rebooted. when rebooted turn it back to 3g/4g and rebooted and 4g was back to stay. Reboots may not be necessary but i didn't try this without rebooting.
I think I may to be on to something. Download LTE OnOff from the market. Try and toggle between CDMA auto (PRL) and lte + CDMA/edge. Run the ping test when you have the 4g signal in your status bar. If it fails, try to switch it to just LTE, if you do get a successful ping test, switch it back to lte + CDMA/edge. I'll have to see how long it lasts because I seem to be loosing full signal randomly while stationary. The bizarre thing is that it shows I have 4g signal strength, but the network is actually disconnected.
Already discussed here.
Turn off mobile data for 30 minutes, and check to see if its back on. If not, turn it back off and wait another 30 minutes. There are rolling updates in the North-East right now (Probably preparing for the LTE roll-out).

I'm having a problem where my phone will not connect to 4G, it connected fine for about 2 weeks and then it stopped working. I have tried everything I can think of, restores, data wipes, new roms, the new radio, messing with modem settings, but I have had no luck, I'm starting to think that it is just my Thunderbolt and I will have to get a replacement I took this screenshot of the thing i think is werid, the phone recognizes the LTE network but GPRS service is disconnected. If anybody has any suggestions on something for me to try it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Flash the new radio that was made available today and see if that changes it. If not factory reset your phone and bring it in and say it stopped working.

I been have problems with 4G since Saturday here in San Diego. It has been working fine for 3 weeks up to this point. I have 3-4 bars of 4G, but there's no network connection. The connection does NOT bounce between 3G/1X. It is solid 4G, however on the 4G LTE icon at the top, only the white arrow lights up, never the down arrow. When I run the ping test in the diag screen you posted there, it fails.
I went down to the Verizon store near my house and they had two display Thunderbolts. One of them was having the same exact problem as mine. While I was there, I rebooted mine and it magically started working right.
Then about a hour ago, it stopped working again. Rebooted twice and nothing. Called Verizon tech support just to let them know there might be an issue since my phone and the display phone werent working right. They transferred me to a
"4G specialist" who had me shutdown the phone while he "rebuilt" my account in their system. Booted back up and it works again.. Dont know if something he did fixed it, or the third reboot fixed it.
BTW, my phone is factory stock. Have it set to LTE/CDMA Auto in th phone settings.
Sigh... it's doing it again this morning
Same here, stuck using 3G until further notice.

Ya this problem is making me mad, I'm going on a trip, and when I get back if I still have problems I will just unroot and get a replacement, I really hope someone knows a fix to this though and posts it

My 4g and 3g have been on the outs today here in ohio. Never had the issue before today. I'm assuming its a network issue and not an issue with my phone. And I have the new radio fyi.

-89 dB is pretty weak. -89 to -93 is what mine is at most places in my house. The only way it will go from 3G to 4G is if I walk over to the bedroom window facing the nearest celltower and then it will go to about -78 and switch to 4G.
When facing the tower do not "cup" the phone because I have seen as much as 10dB loss from my hand being between the phone and the tower.

I have similar issues in San Diego as well. Fortunately I work from home, so I just enable WiFi for now.

I can say the same thing in Phoenix.... you have good 4g days and you have bad 4g days. Like yesterday... up then down then up then down then nothing for an hr.... then up and down... an awesome way to tank the battery.
I wish Big Red would make up their minds... and fix these issues.
Same here in scottsdale, shows the 4g icon but there is no data till it switches back to 3g. Maybe just a coincidence but mine started yesterday after upgrading to the new radio and bamf 1.5

I'm having the same exact problem you are having in NYC and now in Boston while I am on vacation. If I force the phone to 3G, everything works beautifully, but to get 4G working again, I have to power off and on the phone.
Now, while in Boston, this issue happens when I am in an area of no cell signal (say the parking garage of my hotel) and then walk into an area with cell signal. I'll wake my phone from standby and will not see the 4G symbol, and then the symbol appears, but no data, like what you described.
I wonder if it has to deal with how the phone connects to the towers. Maybe the new radio will fix it? I'm currently on stock since it's still runs pretty damn well.
Just to mention, my phone does not suffer from the cycling issue between 3G and 4G.
Switched to bamf remix 1.5 with the same updated radio and 4g works great now. Kinda like the remix better.. win win
Did you try taking out your batter and sim card... waiting a minute and then putting them back in? I had this problem once where I was stuck in 3G in a 4G area and this is what tech support had me do. I didn't think it would work, but it did!
So I am currently running bamf 1.6.3 and I change kernals a lot, but one thing I can't seem to fix are the data drops. I live in raleigh, so no LTE, and am running the .7 cdma / .6 LTE radio combo. The data drops off a lot, more noticeable when changing towers. Even sitting at home with good signal it will just drop to 1x and is hard to get 3g back without a reboot. Anybody else see this? No reboot problems
So am I the only one with this issue??
Mine drops 3g and 4g for a second or two and then comes back. It has been happening a lot recently.
At one point in time I would have that happen, it was because of a local tower being screwed up. Maybe switch from eHRPD to the standard 3g network? or vice versa?
Had the same issue with 1.6.3 and went back to 1.6.1 and Im fine again. Ill wait for another version before updating again
Having this same problem but I'm on stock and it only happens while I'm on 3G....nothing but problem since I got this phone....did Verizon and HTC test this phone out? Gps problems,reboot problems,data problems,battery...I'm really sorry I left my carrier for this phone.

the NEW 4g network is going to take some time to get running properly and because of that will have issues as will the phones. Not everything works flawlessly off the bat, give time to get everything settled and figured out and it will get perfected.
With all the radio/prl updates they have been doing I wouldnt be suprised if it is caused from that.
I was having the same problem. Disabling eHRPD has seemed to fix it. I still see strange signal drops, but I'm not seeing data drops at all.
It's not a fix, but rather than rebooting, just turn on airplane mode, wait for the airplane icon to appear, and then disable airplane mode. I have the same issue you describe, so I just keep the airplane mode toggle widget on my second home screen panel.
I'm getting very frustrated with the inconsistent data connection on this phone. I halfway considered trying to get VZW to let me swap it for the Droid X 2 when it releases next week.
I have similar problem. I live in Northern CA with 4G coverage. The problem will be like this:
- 4G works OK, data works
- Moments later, 4G icon shown upload activity (arrow up sign)
- Shortly afterwards, no data. Mail, Google Maps, etc. failed
Fix is to turn Airplane mode OR REBOOT the phone. I have tried switching radio mode (using LTE ON/OFF) but to no avail.
I understand 4G is new and so is the phone, but c'mon.. it has been sometime now and we are STILL paying for the service, even when the 4G network is down (few weeks ago) or when the phone loses data.
This happens to me on stock. Will be using 4G and then all data drops, then comes back, then drops, then comes back and repeats the cycle. Rebooting, airplane mode, nothing helps. Eventually it goes back to normal.
My phone went wacky yesterday. 1x and no data for four hours. Spent an hour on the phone with Verizon tech. We did everything possible and nothing. Then it just fixed itself. Had someone with a Droid X in the same room as me with great EV signal. Now the phone is perfect again. I dont get it . I have enabled REV A and now I put it back and that didnt matter.

Mine as well on 1.6.3 bamf remix. i had to keep going in airplane mode. it was stuck on no service or even the 4g icon (not blinking and no service)
We are Guenna pigs....
Since i have gone to the new leaked gingerbread radio not the latest froyo radio but the new gingerbread i dont have data drops
get it here http://www.multiupload.com/KQCRTNALV9
I too had continual problems with data yesterday (on BAMF 1.6.3) in San Diego. Kept switching from 4G/3G/1x. Today seems to be running smooth.
I'm gonna say thank god I'm not the only one, I don't live in a 4g area, yet there's many times my 3g will do the same arrow thing showing up and than everything fails. I'm running the new radio and perfect storm 1.4
, and drods kernel

As the subject says recently when i turn off 3g to use edge and then go to turn back it wont let me
The only way i can get back to 3g is to turn data off and on manually by hitting airplane mode
Any suggestions?
Thanks
no one else has this issue?
I have the same issue it takes a long time to get 3g, I'm with vodafone au so the network is horrible. This might be the issue that the phone can get the troubled network.

I have this issue. Only fix I've found is airplane mode/battery pull.
However, if the phone automatically switches down to edge (2g), it will usually switch back on its own.
Don't even get me started on the frequent complete data shut-downs though, and that's with what little there is of the signal present. Completely ruined Google Voice functionality.

Well IM on ATT in the northeast US. I upgraded my radio from XX to UCK and I think it solved the issue for the most. A lot of outages here tho after our storm (apparently only on ATT tho as USUAL since verizon and sprint seem to be fine. ATT blows!
Well I'm experiencing some very strange behavior on my phone. I got my 2nd device and rooted it with superboot and all was well until last night when I removed the rogers bloat apps with titanium back up. Now it seems that when I try to connect to LTE it will sit there uploading forever with no download whatsoever.. now this is where it gets weird. Expecting shotty LTE I switched it over to WCDMA preferred, now when it connects to "4g" it'll hang on upload with zero download. I added the old school APN (internet.com) and it'll connect no problem to "4g" but I'm wondering what I could've done to bork it. LTE worked fine on my first device after rooting/debranding so this is really unexpected. Any dialer codes/tricks to get LTE going again.. or even wcdma on the locked apn. Any ideas guys??
EDIT: I feexed it guys... the fix was deleting the copy apns and rebooting with lte ONLY selected... now switches over as before. *siiigh* god does that feel good.
EDIT2: damn it... just tested it by switching. As soon as I switch from one preference to the next it'll hang at upload. Seems as if even a reboot won't fix it either. Just hoping it's on rogers end
At work in a particular lab area, I have 4-5 bars of "4G" connection... it shows Connected on the mobile network...
However, I have no access... it does not have any data connection and voice calls do not come in or go out...
Anybody have any suggestions on what may be the problem?
It's a known issue. Either reboot the phone or put it in airplane mode then turn airplane mode off. If rebooting turn off fast boot in power options.
What exactly is the issue and is it fixed in the latest leak?
Nobody knows what causes it, it's just a random problem. Sometimes even rebooting and airplane mode don't work for me

Not sure why it happens. I never saw it myself. What firmware are you on now?
1.85.. I did airplane mode, then it picked up lte but weak signal... now it says no signal... why can't it just connect to the non lte connection and actually be connected... :-/
I've heard that getting a new sim card can fix it. If that doesn't work exchange the phone. It should fall back to hspa if it can't get lte
restarted, now it shows full strength LTE... but still no activity... it shows an upload signal, but nothing down... and goes straight to voicemail when called...
Now it fell back to no signal... guess I'll try a new simcard first... then go from there... I think my first one was similar in doing this as well, so maybe it is the sim card...
Good luck!
Now its back on the 4G but no connectivity... which is VERY ANNOYING...
I know some places I've had 4G (no LTE) and it has worked... it could be this lab... but, doesn't make sense why it shows signal strength but just doesn't work...
I have experienced this issue when I drive from HSPA area to LTE. It doesn't always quickly switch to LTE and shows 4G. But, doesn't connect. As others mentioned, turning on/off airplane mode takes care of it.

Well... seems like my phone just works once in a while... doesn't stay connected and is switching between LTE and 4G, 4G having the much better signal quality... but neither one of them seeming to work after it has switched one time... so is this likely a sim card issue? Or just a flaw in the one x?
I had a similar issue after flashing a new Rom. phone was showing 4g but if I dug deeper it actually wasn't connected. I pulled the sim and threw it back in, no problems since then.
Centex, you should stop working in a secret lab deep in the earth's crust

yeah, mine will show connected... tried pulling the sim just to try that... and same problem... Will run by store to get new SIM at lunch today...
Are you rooted? I was having same issues I flashed back to the 1.73 radio.. there is an xda forum for you to find it... I am using the cm9 alpha 4 build...non lte area..
