I've used both the MR2 and 2.5 radios and both have the same issue. Whenever it's loading something 4G drops in and out constantly. The icon disappears and then reappears. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm in the Chicago area so getting a 4G signal.isn't an issue.

well, i had consistant 3G signal in a known 4G area. started out all good, with solid 4G, then slowly started to loose 4G all together. drop data completely ect. then i could just not pick up 4G unless i had full bars, and even then, it was slow (around 5mbps downloads)
tried a new SIM card, nothing
got a new phone yesterday and everything is perfect now. we'll see how it is after a couple weeks though.
Is it possible that it could be the antenna on the extended battery cover?

Could be. I know that without a battery cover on my phone, I can only get 1x. So you may be on to something. Check the contacts on the cover to make sure they are not bent and getting good contact inside.
I am not in 4g area but I am having same issues on 3g, it will just cut out randomly, it will stop downloads, it will disconnect me from gtalk. I am on mr2.5 radio. Think its Verizon/ LTE issues, but its getting old.

I"m in chicago and have this ****ing issue as well. it's really pissing me off. happens when i tether and load too many pages at once on the computer. 4g disappears for a second or two then reappears, but i can't connect to internet on the tethered computer. speedtest app on phone will work just fine. running the test and tethering--4g disappears. running test alone- a ok. Are you tethering when the 4g disappears?
I was running the mr2, mr2.5 radios on gb roms (synergy, das bamf, 2.1, 3.0 , gingeritis) all have issues. an hour ago i switched to the froyo radio and das bamf 1.8 and so far so good.
still don't know if it's ****ty connection here in chicago, bad ****ing radio (gb ones) or verizon trying to block my tethering. i will get back after more tethering to see if it disappears.
i did also try to overclock, undervolt, change the speeds to no avail.
posted my solution on another thread, here it is again
well i solved all of my tethering problems by going back to froyo. am now on bamf 1.8 remix and loving it. tether works like it should and even works with the screen off. something is off inthe gb kernal that forces tether to close when screen is off. slight remedy is to up the processor speed, until you lose the 4g signal lol.
i think i'll just wait for the official gb, need the internet and all.

Hey guys,
All of a sudden overnight my phone gets horrible reception at home and bumps back from edge to no service at all..dropping calls and data. I use to get 3-4 bars H constantly. My cousin has same inspire with cm7 and has no issues at my house. I tried flashing the stock radio again and clean cm7 install. Nothing worked and was going to restore to stock....but I went to another city today to visit and I have full bar H over here. Any ideas what is going on? Never had reception issues and I've been using all cm7 since rc1 with no issues..not sure if the radio is somehow tweaked?

try flashing a new radio

I was going to try to do that, but curious why it was fine for months and then overnight tweaked. I was really happy with stock radio GPS lock/battery life/reception, so I'm a little hesitant to switch when I think it could be something like a setting/entry that got messed up?

i am not familiar with CM7.
but my experience shows that stock radio reception is poor compared with the new Gingerbread radios.
So I had just gotten done posting a smartass remark about how I had gotten two days on one charge with my phone, only to pull it off the charger go to work, and have the sucker die in 4 hours.
I figured out what I did, and you should try it too, it may help you out. I am running the leaked radio btw.
So earlier today I decided to go into ##778# and type the password 000000 and then modem settings and rev A and change it from Enable to eHRPD because I figured with the 4G network back I could use the dual radio 3G network. Well That is when my battery life went to ****. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to it burning hot and at 9%. I quickly changed it back to Enabled, and it survived the 9% all the way to 5% over a period of another 6 hours.
So unless you need to talk and use data at the same time, use the regular 3G network like I am, and see if your battery life doesn't improve. I still am on 4G all day, but this was literally the only feature I changed on my phone between amazing battery life and crappy battery life.
You can still do talk/data at the same time on Rev A with 3G.

Right and at the moment, no thunderbolt should have eHRPD. No matter what verizon says. So we're all running on rev a right now, and you must have done something else. EHRPD will not waste your battery any more than normal.

Actually mine is set to eHRPD. Just bought it from Vzw a few days ago, rooted and flashed DBamf 161 along with the new radio and Im still set to it.
Making me think I should switch it hmmm.... hmmmmm

I just checked mine and it was set to eHRPD by default. Does this mean I should change it to enabled or leave it alone?
It doesn't really matter what it's set to. It seems as though Verizon has made all Thunderbolts default to Rev A in 3G areas after the outage rather than eHRPD regardless of what the modem setting is. You can check under About Phone-Network-Mobile Network Type
I use the LTE on/off app and Juice Defender Beta to increase battery life.
Set my phone to eHRPD then rebooted it and it went back to enabled I think Verizon is doing a tower by tower fix.

Mine is rooted and I get almost 2 days of moderate use out of it. Its the only way to make this phone truly great.

what kernel/governer do you use?
I'm running das bamf 1.6 remix with the stock radio and the kernel it came with. I know that it isn't really necessary to wipe but I did. I used a battery calibration app and auto brightness.

worked great for me thanks

What are you guys using?
sent from my B.A.M.F Thunderbolt
I'm currently using Tesla Coil 1.7.1 with imoseyon's batt saver kernel, setCPU using the smartass governor.
Today my battery life was absolutely horrible: 6 hours from 100% to 19% with 1 hour of screen on time at ~25% brightness, 8 mins of call time and maybe 2 hours of music off of my SD card.
I just can't figure this phone out...
I have noticed that as well. Some days my battery rocks, and some days it sinks like a rock. Not sure why. It's as unpredictable as my wife! LOL
sent from my B.A.M.F Thunderbolt
The other thing I do is if I know I am not going to use my 3G or 4G connection I turn it off until I need it. This Rom I use has a widget for switching it on or off.
sent from my B.A.M.F Thunderbolt
The battery sipper kernel is the only kernel for me. Using the same Rom I went from about 6 hours of constant 4g to over a day of 4g. I do have the extended battery. I leave 4g on ALL day and get more battery life than I did on any other phone. I love that Damn kernel.

So does changing the modem do anything or not? I just checked and my Rev A setting is eHRPD and under about phone, it says CDMA-eHRPD. I have not changed anything other than turn LTE off when not needed, and when I turn it off I select CDMA auto (PRL). I am using the new radio and BAMF 1.6. I get decent battery life so I am not too concerned, but I am curious.
Thought it was interesting to find out today that when I put my Thunderbolt near my weather radio the radio started buzzing loudly.
To see if it was the phone itself or 4G I switched to 3G only and the buzzing stopped. It also stopped on WiFi. So, looks like 4G and weather radios don't mix....at least at a distance of 2 feet or less.
Any idea what could cause the interference?

Happens with pretty much all phones that have a sim card.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Probably unrelated, but I read on here when the phone first came out that the LTE wasn't dead-on the exact frequency intended by Verizon -- that it had to be changed at the last minute due to interference with the FAA.
About twice a month, it seems like 4g data goes down in phoenix. Anyone experiencing this? I change to LTE mode in dad bamf settings and get nothing.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Negative, I work in PHX live in Gilbert... it's never gone down for me... I have had the phone occasionally lock itself in 3G when I know I'm in a 4G zone, but a reboot or LTE on/off usually fixes that.
Mine was out last night but thought it was mostly due to storm, back up again as I am using it now. Queen Creek is my location.

Thanks guys, I am guessing it is a radio issue. Will try reseting.

i have lost my 4G service in Phoenix before but then i switch set dns to the google dns option and it works.
Other than sporadic issues lasting a few minutes, have not had any outages in the past few months. Out in the Queen Creek area.

How'd you like that storm? I live in the outskirts of Queen Creek where the microburst hit. Kinda weird seeing twenty powerlines turned into splinters, looks like something snapped them at the base like twigs.

no 4G in my area yet, although since yesterday the 3G has been going up & down regularly and is still doing it today. a friend of mine has a Droid Charge and has said the same thing is happening with her phone.
the "3G" logo will suddenly disappear & the bars will go off, then it'll either come right back up(or after a few seconds) and sometimes will show "1X".
i'm in Carlsbad, CA btw. i wonder what the hell Verizon is doing....
Mine cut out for a minute or so but nothing major.
i live in the tempe/scottsdale area and have never gotten 4g outages
Works for me as well. Scottsdale/Phoenix border.
Its been intermittent for a day or two in Dallas/Fort Worth when ever they do the network upgrade nationwide for the new networks to come online.
Completely stock phone... I never messed with it from day 1.
So here's the thing... everytime I take a subway and after the get out from underground the phone never regains the 4g data icons... the signals are there but it doesnt let me browse the web or use any apps that require a data signal.
Restarting the phone solves the problem...
But at work everytime I go to the basement and come out.. I completely lose the signal and do not automatically regain it once I'm out on the street... this made me miss many calls and incoming texts... I also switched my sum card 2 weeks ago for the newest 4g Sims... it helped for about 2 days.. but now same thing happens all over again..
Any tips?

Try toggling flight mode on then back off.

Did that... it rarely works... but either way... its not good when a phone can't regain a signal... because its in my jeans the whole time... and I get a lot of missed calls due to that... its horrible.
Does anyone else experience this problem with their galaxy s?

If you've always been using stock, then you should try your hand at flashing GB.
Try out some new modems too. It might solve your problem.
