Getting 3g in a 4g area - Verizon Droid Charge

Anyone know why this happens? It doesn't seem like a fringe area because sometimes it will come on for a few seconds at four bars.
Also sometimes i lose all data connections until i reboot. Especially with the lte/cdma switch app.
I'm running peanut butta with voodoo and altered beast.

We need more info than that. What Rom are you running? What was your data type (E, 3g, 4g?) and signal strength?

Stock ROM, rooted.

Could've just been a bad signal area.

[Q] GB Wifi low signal?

I flashed new Gingerbeead 2.3.3 and rooted. I did notice that my wifi is so low on 1 bar. i am like next room from wifi router.. my old 2.2.1, it was always full bar. umm i wonder, is it Gb's new bug? thanks
You're not the only one! I think mine had the same problem. Mine only has one bar and nothing higher and my room is right about the wireless router.

LTE always connected to internet?

I've realized that when connected to Lte the back and forth data that shows on top of the 4g lte icon is always there. On HSPA+ its only there when using data. Is this normal?

WiFi speed issues.

I get low speed on quickwiz wondering if its my settings my rom or my mode. I have got over 15mbs at times with WiFi and 12mbs on 4g how ever I don't break 3mbs any more. Thoughts?

Network mode problems after cm10 and sim switch

I'm using an infuse 4g with JB 4.2.1 cm ROM. I unlocked my phone and put in a T-Mobile prepaid sim.
I'm supposed to have 4g consistently but I'm getting 2g(edge), 3g(umts) and on very rare occasions I get 3g(HSDPA)... Its approximately 70%-%20-%10, respectively. And these changes are all happening in the same household. No tower switching.
I only have the option to switch on 2g only in my network mode settings on cm10... APN settings are correct and all T-Mobile can say is that I won't get 4g if the tower doesn't support it..
Are there any possible solutions to obtain 4g at all?
If so, how do I keep it on all the time?
Do I need to install a new modem?
If so, which?
Any comments and/or answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Using Uckl2 at the moment. FYI.
Also, I know the modem is for WiFi but does it affect carrier data? If not what can I change to affect my data connection?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I always thought the opposite. I thought modems were only for mobile data. But does switching modems help?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Could increase or decrease your signal and rate at which data is downloaded and uploaded depending on your modem of choice. Battery life is also affected minimally (usually).
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, didn't know that... Well thanks for the lesson but have you tried switching modems?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I switched through a couple and uckl2 seems pretty stable but no change on carrier network service.. I want to put on kl3 but I can't find the download.. Not too many options for my phone though.. That I know of.

It might just be your location.

Since I changed to cm10 and switched to T-Mobile sim I have yet to have 4g. Tried where I'm at now and up to 70 miles from here... Very weird. I can't tell if its T-Mobile or the ROM.

Have you had it before on the same phone? Have you tried using another 4g phone?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I had 4g on it before, on att and on metro. Both while using stock Froyo rom and GB aeon rom.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Weird, it sounds like its the network then
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's what I'm thinking but when I called T-Mobile, they said that they cannot diagnose a non-tmobile phone. The only info that they can give me is that they assume its my location and possibly the modem but they cannot guarantee switching modems will work. Doubt they hack phones though, Lol

from my recollection..not from experience:
T-mobile or networks other than AT&T will only give you: edge or 3g.
No 4g or hpsa+
to get better than 3g, you need to be on AT&T
When the phone is on "H" I ran a speed test and its pushing 5 to 7 mb download speed. Is that close to 4g?
Any advice on how to stabilize the network?

yup.. 2-6mps for most.
if you are in an urban area and close to a tower, some are reporting 8+
look back in the old threads..i recalled these discussed toward the beginning of device release..jun jul aug 2011 era
Appreciate it, thanks!
