Hey is anyone having 4g problems in the LA area. I have a 2 to 5 minute delay when using the browser if the page loads at all. 3g is loading instantly.

Been living with this issues for over a week. Several apps timeout as well and will not update. Gmail and exchange email have to be manually refreshed.
Verizon tech told me socal is having issues and they are looking into it. I would suggest you call and have them look up your area. I'm guessing there are a number of reports.

This is caused by a DNS issue that is only present on 4G. The only way to fix it right now is to use SetDNS on a rooted phone, or not use 4G. No word on when it will be fixed, has been an issue for over a month in some areas.

Yeah, I'm in Orange County and have been noticing this happening for about two weeks. On 4G, in the beginning it'll act just as normal, but then the icon will start disappearing and reappearing on the notification bar and the service will just stop working and never be stable.
It's almost as if they're begging us to root our phones.
Yeah this sucks. I called vzw and they acted like they had no idea about it. Thanks for the feedback guys

The support tech I spoke with found the trouble ticket in San Diego and added me to it.
I'm in San Diego and it happens to me too.
What radio are you all using?
I'm using the debloated MR2 ROM update.
I blame IPv6 day.

I am on MR2 and I have the issue. Thought about rolling back to pre-MR1 but I am not sure if that would fix the problem. If you're rooted, you can use the SetDNS app and that will fix it.

The new radio combined with SetDNS has actually improved my situation a lot, but there are still minor annoyances. I am in San Diego.

As I posted in the other 4G DNS issues thread, me and my friend have been experiencing the same issue on our thunderbolts for awhile now here in San Diego. I went down the the big corporate store and demonstrated to the rep that his Charge, Revolution, and Thunderbolts all had problems on 4G getting to google sites specifically. He said he would bring it up through whatever channels they have.
I also wrote an email to Verizon and I got a call back from a rep who says it's a "sort of a known issue" and my concerns have been forwarded to the people working on it. She said the next software update should fix it. Im guessing it will change some DNS settings, since that's what rooted people have been doing to fix the problem.
Thanks for all the responses guys

Not the case with my wife's Samsung Charge. Her 4G LTE loads up just fine. I had both her Charge and my TB side by side to test and every single time, her webpage loads quick and mine just hangs for 2 mins.
The same problem on EvO 4G WIMAX hope for setDNS app

The market won't open. Dolphin can't connect. Mobile HotSpot can't connect. Just making sure it isn't just my phone...

I had it drop out on me a couple times yesterday (I'm around the I-17 and Peoria), VZW has acknowledged there are some issues with the network that they are working on.
Work in Tempe and live in E. Mesa and 4G is very sporadic for me.

What kind of speed are you guys getting? I am getting 6 to 7 down and 3 to 4 upload speeds on average when on 4G.

Mine has been a bit wonky today...full 4G, then nothing, then full 4G, then nothing, then 3G, then 4G, etc.
I just keep thinking Verizon is working on the network. I kind of expect it with 4G being so new. I'm just loving it...mostly. The dropouts do get annoying...mostly because they only seem to happen when I want data for some reason.
Nathan
Thanks guys. I have been flashing Rom after Rom trying to see if that was the problem. When the times are good, I have been getting up to 16mbps today, just keeps dropping for no reason. So I will keep my cool and hope this gets cleaned up soon!
Sometimes when connected to 4G, I will lose data entirely. When I check wireless settings, the mobile network says turning on and won't do anything. A reboot fixes it but it is annoying.
Anyone else experience this?

yeah me too....actually I have no data at the moment.
*edit Ok now I've moved up to 1x...... WHOOOOOOOOO!

It's Verizon working on their network. People keep trying to troubleshoot it as a software problem, it's a network problem.

Would that show the phone being unable to turn on the mobile network entirely? Seems weird but I guess I will wait a few days.
i had this too alot when running a froyo radio. i went to mr2.5 and haven't had the issue since.
I was about to ask if anyone was having any weirdness with 4G today... I tested my speeds using the speakeasy website and the upload speeds were fine (2.5-3Mbps) but the download speeds were incredibly slow, under 1 Mbps every time I tried. Guess it's issues with verizon testing the network.

4g fine in chicago 22mbps down, 4 mbps up, speedtest browser test.
the problem is the mobile hotspot software. just download the open garden wifi tether on the market
Yeah I'm having the same problem. I went to VZW and they are sending me a replacement phone. I usually run CM7 but that's an extra pain to get data back. Hopefully this problem is resolved soon.

Definitely big red doing work... CSR's aren't informed about that stuff, and yes, our 3g, 4g, and even 1x operate on a new section of the network.... If it persists use the modem settings @ ##778# edit mode, password 000000, turn revA on....

Same here, just started today and if that weren't enough, for me anyway, The International Data Triangle popped on and I have no voice coverage. I flashed back to stock and got the voice back but the data drops in and out. I wondered if there is some sort of outage. Called in and NADA that they are aware of.
Weird.. Might have to send this one back. This will be the second time. PRL and Profile Update fails.
In Minneapolis/St. Paul Btw.
That's my same situation everything exactly its wrks better wen u unroot but rooted sux signal wise I thought I was the only one having this issue I wonder is it just our phones or did da update have sumthn 2 do with it?

Not sure. When I called Sprint, they checked the tower strength, Known issues in the area and found nothing. So they want me to stop into a store and have them look at it. I put the standard recovery back on and locked it back up. Wish me luck.

Maybe you were watching the local action at Jennifer's and something in your pocket activated the PRL by mistake? Wink wink.

Yeah, on ke5. They did manage to fix it at the store by erasing some network stuff and reinstalling the ota latest update with their computer. Then they said blah blah blah. I told them thanks a bunch. We will see.

Sorry for the highjack, Snoopy. Let's get your situation fixed.
My Blunderbolt has not been connected to the 3G network all day. I live in the Youngstown area. Has anyone else been having this issue? I thought it was me and that I had caused a problem by flashing a new rom to it, but it sounds as though others are having issues too.
Let me know and if there's any fix that I can do myself, let me know that too.
Same here north of u in Ashtabula... No 3g. My daughter has an iPhone and she is fine.

I am in east Texas and I noticed problems today as well. I could not get a 3G connection until I did the ##778# trick and turned on rev.A, so possibly there is an issue with eHRPD like what happened right after the TB came out?
I am on BAMF 1.0.9 and have been since it was released, so it's not a ROM issue for me.

Good one! Actually I live in Austintown so .
I'm running the new eternity rom from virus with the most recent radio.
I just did the rev. A trick and now it works again. Yaaaaaay.
Same problem in Akron on an doff Monday evening and in Ravenna Tuesday afternoon. I did pick up a spot of 4g on 76 west just around 14. I typically loose or regain 4g between brimfield and Tallamadge exits. Maybe Verizon is upgrading.

Clearly an issue with authenticating to Verizon 3G eHRPD and 4G LTE network. If you were previously successfully authenticated and the lifetime timer hasn't expired which would otherwises force a reauthentication or you haven't toggled airplane mode then you probably still have data. If you've completely lost data you can at least restore 3G EVDO since it uses a different authentication method that still works by doing ##778#.
It's been 3g, 4g and out completely sense 2pm here in Kettering.
Okay, so my phone had been connecting to data and then just dropping within a minute and try to reconnect and so on, so I sent it into Samsung. It turns out, all they did was take the update that Samsung had put out while they had my phone and said it was fixed. It may have seemed fixed to them, but it is definitely not. It seems as though it only happens when I'm in a 3G only area which is where I live so I basically cannot use my data at all. I know it works when I leave where I live because I went to Los Angeles last month and my 4G and my 3G were working fine. I just don't understand it. I know it's not because my area has bad 3G coverage cause it's fine. I'm just so flustered. Any help?

Looks like tower problem to me since it works fine in town.
Flash every modem available to see if you can find one that works with your 3G tower. Have seen older radios that worked better with 3G due to the towers being old tech. Since the phone and radios are new may not be able to find radio that works consistently. The 4G will work with with any 4G tower. If not able to get 3G contact Verizon and put in a ticket on your local tower. Hope this makes sense.

All radios are on Rootzwiki. If radios don't work call them back. Nothing wrong with phone if works in town although also depends how far you are from tower. If any Verizon phone works you have a case for upgrade of tower or phone. If just at home may give you extender. Do not let them charge you for it.

This device is solid on 4g and when in a 3g only area...soon as you get to a area where the data switches between 4g/3g/1x it becomes flaky at best no doubt. Beans rom seems to have the most stable data connection whem Im on the outskirts of a solid 4g signal...it is a device issue that should be fixed with a software update at some point. The problem is its easier for verizon to release a device with bugs, then to spend the extra time and cash to R&D and fix them before release date. I know it does not make sense, but think about it from there end. Lets say VZW has a device thats 90% bug free, so they release it to start locking people in on new contracts and rake in the money hoping folks dont complain about minor issues. If folks do comlain, well then vzw will run you thru the mill and send you a refurb, or open a claim ticket...by then after enough time has elapsed and no issue is fixed, they most likely will discontinue the device andoffer you a different one, passing the customer on to a whole new set of problems. Welcome to America, where its a dog eat dog world and we are all wearing milkbone undies.
