No 4g or 3g radio on gummy charged charge - Verizon Droid Charge

I'm running gc 1.5, and as of yesterday afternoon I have not been able to pick up 3g or 4g radio. I've seen 1x pop up twice now, but only for short periods of time.
I'm on vacation in the va beach area, so I can't re odin my phone right this minute, but I have been running the same rom for at least a month now and this is first time having these problems.
Think this is a rom our hardware issue?

Mine just went out as well; I'm in western ny area. I flashed EP1Q last night and had 3G. Same thing happened, had 1x for a short time this morning and now nothing at all. Wife's DInc has 3G.

I flashed the EP1Q leak, but I didn't take out my sim card. I read to pull it when using the Samsung flashing utility and I didn't do that. I'm not sure if it needs to be removed when using Odin but I'm going to start taking it out for that also. I picked up a new sim and I'm fine now.

it doesn't need to be taken out for odin, but yeah it seems like some people are having they're 4G sim or phone radio crap out on them leading to either a replacement phone or new sim... its understandable seeing as this is the first "generation" of verizon's 4G coverage and phones, so the technology isn't up to par yet

Do you think I need to un root before going into verizon asking for a new sim?
Plus, I can still make calls and text, just no data connection.

its probably a good idea, if they decide to check your phone then they might deny you saying you voided the warranty

I've had signal issues as well. I've *****ed about it in a few threads looking for answers. This is the first time I've seen the sim card brought into the discussion. Can you guys tell me what types of things you dealt with?
I may un root and head on over to vzw.
Thanks for any help.

I definitely would unroot. The kid I talked knew what was up, but I didn't admit anything.

Here in Western New York I've been experiencing difficulties as of either yesterday or Wednesday. Same deal no data. I will see 3g come up sometimes but 1x will emerge a lot. Currently have 4g with 4 bars. I haven't changed locations or worked at a different spot since i got my phone so it is either my phone or verizon. I think it has to do with Verizon. I wouldn't think all of our radios would start to going at the same time .
UPDATE: flashed to EP1Q's Modems on froyo and I'm getting 17mbps, speedtest app still gives me faulty readings

this probably a fluke

Well ill prob try revering back to ee4, and if that works reroot and try the new gummy charged or humble. Otherwise if it doesnt work ill go to the verizon store and try to get a new sim.

I havent had a chance to do anything, but now I'm getting 3g... Weird!

Constantly getting disconnected from Google servers on LTE

Is anyone else seeing this?
I have both the skyrocket and the Elevate 4G LTE hotspot device and both are showing the same issue: Google services can't keep a steady connection and it simply times out.
My Skyrocket is pure stock and i know that it is getting disconnected from google servers because i stop receiving google voice SMS, gtalk disconnects and i don't receive gmail emails. other apps that use data DON'T get disconnected.
It takes about 10 minutes from the moment i turn off the screen until the connection to google is dropped. the only way to get the connection back is to wake the device login to gtalk again.
Initially i thought it was the Skyrocket but i am having the same issue when i connect my Galaxy tab via the Elevate 4G hotsopt. same issue exactly.
This does not happen on my galaxy note (3G device) and does not happen over wifi.
It also doesn't happen when i tether other android devices to my Galaxy note.
it only happens on LTE devices and it is very annoying.
Is anyone else seeing this?
I guess i am the only one with this issue?
No one is using gtalk ant notice how you don't get messages when on LTE?
Bump!
Still seeing this issue constantly. Am I the only one constantly getting disconnected from Google servers on lte?
First. I hate you. Lol i want the note so bad. Second did you try calling at&t and tell them?. Mabye the can reset your data. I do not have this problem. When the skyrocket first came out lte was screwey, and everyone was changing there apn. But they fixed it after a week.
I keep seeing "unable to connect to server".....but didn't know what it was. Figured it was something to do with being rooted.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes it is not an issue with my phone or APN settings as i said it is also happening with their Elevate 4G LTE hotsopt.
I tried call AT&T again yesterday and it is like talking to the wall. they just don't understand what i want and they tell me to "call google as it is not our problem"...
I am surprised no one else is posting about this here except from the poster above me.
I'm experiencing the same issue on two LTE phones, the Vivid and the skyrocket Google talk randomly disconnects.

LTE in Sacramento? Didn't know ATT activated the NorCal central valley yet.
So it seems like this is CA related.
I tried to report this to at&t yet again, this time i spoke to one of their supervisors and he said he will run a few checks and get back to me.
Sac doesn't have LTE.... I was just responding to this thread because I'm getting the same disconnection.
I should of been more specific....I get disconnected throughout the day from the servers and I'm NOT on LTE....I assumed it was because of the ROM I'm using (alien 5). Hopefully someone figures it out....I myself know barely a thing about any of this, it's a miracle I was even able to root and flash lol.

But are you provisioned on an LTE plan? if you are and you are using APN called "PTA" then you will suffer from this even if you are not in an LTE coverage zone.
If you are using APN named "phone" and still suffering from this in a none LTE area then i don't think it is related to what i am talking about.
I just checked and my APN setting says "ATT pta". I assume this can be changes to "phone"?

I've seen this, too. I made a topic about it a few weeks back but no one else seemed to have the issue. I first thought it had something to do with the lack of the "colored" signal indicator new to 2.3 that indicates the GTalk connection. I too lose the connection randomly. I too have the LTE PTA, but am not on LTE...I live aobut 40 miles south of DC.
Is anyone else with this also using a Google Apps account? I wondered if that had anything to do with it. AT&T was also completely unhelpful for me.

Yes this is exactly what i am talking about.
Did you try to manually change your APN from PTA to "phone" (you need to create a new APN and set that phone to use that). See if this solved your problem?
I have the same issue! I'm located in new London CT. There is LTE for the Amtrak line that runs to NYC. My google services disconnects when I'm connected to LTE. I have to open gtalk to sign back in.
I have the problem in los angeles. But not google, my entire data drops in and out. Its super unreliable. I don't have the same issue in San Francisco on LTE. I'm wondering if its oversaturation of LTE in the area? My data when on LTE was so horrible the other day that using my phone to navigate to an unknown location was worthless. It would lose connection and recalculate so often that I was glad I knew kinda where I needed to be. Would have launched my phone into the street out of frustration if I didn't kinda know the area I was in.
My LTE speeds in San Francisco/San Jose are usually 30-60Mbps. In LA I never see over 15Mbps.

Verizon SGS3 no 4g... bug

so on verizon I got my sgs3 and activated successfully ..... so I thought. didnt notice 4g at any time, so called in to verizon and said that I have read a few posts of people not able to activate properly and I think my 4g is missing.
tier 2 rep didnt have the phone to look at and after an hour said it might be a bug, like one that was with the razor maxx. so I get to wait till today for a call back and them to tell me they dont know why Im in a 4g coverage area but not getting 4g....
fun times verizon thanks because being on the "better' network makes it all worth it.
I had to restart my phone after a while then 4g showed up.
I have the same issue. Activated 2 SG3's yesterday. Both are only showing 3G connection. I live in Tyler TX and I know we have 4G coverage. I talked to a rep yesterday and they pretty much told me the same thing. She said maybe there is an update coming to fix it.
They also had me pull the battery and reseat the sim card. Still no 4G

losing root was my first thought when rep mentioned the update. but in the end, one of the phones hugest points is 4g. Without that i can use another phone.
I have no issue with 4G, and haven't. I am also rooted and have been since it was announced.

Just cut my TM sim last night and popped it in my new US GSM model of the G. Working great, getting over 10mbps download. Really liking this phone so far, have had it 2 days.
Amusing how it only claims "3G" at the top of the screen, whereas non-LTE devices from TM usually call HSPA+ "4G".

For those on the Us model getting 3g what apn settings are you using? I am only getting Edge speeds.
Make sure to go into Settings > About Phone > Status .... and check what your "Mobile Network Status" is. It should state HSPA+. Even though the 3G icon may be displayed in the status bar.

[Q] Tried to Setup Spark - Now No LTE At All

Got my new Play Store N5 this week and got it all setup rooted and ROM'd, but I realized yesterday that I wasn't setup correctly to use Sprint's tri-band LTE Spark. It had been connecting to LTE fine on one band, but I wanted to see if the extra two would help increase speeds and maybe some coverage, so I followed a guide I found on here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/sprint-tri-band-activation-help-t2515798
Now my phone won't connect to LTE at all. I've called Sprint and even stopped in at one of their repairs stores, but I can't stand being asked to restart my phone or hit update profile again after about 20 times already. One of the techs even said I need to get a new phone!
Can anyone help with this? Would reflashing the stock image help at all? Was the tech right, do I really need a new phone?

I've tried reverting them to no avail, plus they seem to change whenever I update my profile/PRL. But if you could post what you have them set to (especially if you are using Spark) that would be fantastic.

How does Sprint roll out updates for the N5? Is it just through profile updates? Buying from the Play Store, I will never receive an OTA from Sprint, right?

To be honest I'm not sure of the "how" of it. I just read an article, a little while back, saying they were going to do an update to activate spark on their devices.
Edit: And you shouldn't have an issue receiving it since you're connected to Sprint service.

Sprint submits the changes they want to Google and Google incorporates it into their Android updates. LG and Sprint had long ago fixed whatever their issue was with the Spark update rolled out for the LG G2 in late jan/early feb so it's mainly up to Google now to push the update.
As the Nexus 5 is not native to Sprint and is basically the phone for the entire North American region, Google will not push an update just for one specific carrier. Thus we Nexus 5 users on Sprint have waited over 5 months for the next Google Android update which will enable B26/ B41 (aka Spark).
p.s. Availability of band 25 PCS 1900 LTE tends to screw with non Spark updated phones.
I followed the steps in the post linked in the first reply (used Method 2, Method 1 kept failing fastboot halfway through) and reset my phone back to stock. But it still doesn't want to connect to Sprint's LTE. I even played around with the LTE radio settings again in the hope of enabling Spark and nada.
Would it have been possible to corrupt the phone software totally while doing this to begin with? Do I need to send it back? (and on that note, you have no idea how frustrating it is to explain to a Sprint rep on the phone that you bought the phone from Google online. Such a foreign concept to them!) Could the SIM card have gotten corrupted and I just need a new one of those?

Update: So after downloading the necessary files to my laptop at work, I followed the procedures to reflash to stock again this morning. It came up as failed activation at first, but after hitting update profile and rebooting the phone, I'm back on LTE again. And after checking Android Central this morning, it seems like I should just wait for Google to fix my Spark issues...

So tempted to roll back into the Sprint store that told me I needed a new phone and shove my LTE-enabled phone in their faces.

Unable to send SMS

I am on Verizon and haven't had any issues in months but I started receiving this error earlier tonight. I can receive a message just fine. I have rebooted twice. Anyone else seeing anything? Stock unrooted with latest OTA. It happens with any SMS app.

We have had a lot of issues on Verizon but have not heard much from enough people, especially from the ones running pure stock. We have been having a lost signal issue where we get a slash through our network bars after a reboot, mostly rooted users after flashing something. I am hoping your issue is just a bad SIM card. But there are known issues with Verizon on this phone, I been waiting for more stock users to report anything. I don't have much advice except I would stay stock if this is the worst of your issues and maybe try getting a new SIM. I had this issue on my HTC 10 and a new SIM fixed it. Good luck buddy.
I registered just so I could say that I too have this same problem. I did the update and now I cant send text messages. I still receive them though.

I've been pure stock since June 9th. Had quite a few little issues to work through to get SMS MMS data and calling to work throughout the first month or so after launch.
May I ask what your Network mode and APN settings are?

I am stock and have had no issues since that first update that fixed MMS. All settings are default . It worked early yesterday and then just stopped for no reason. This is the first time i have seen any errors, even before when there were issues, there were no errors. My network mode is GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto, APN is vzwinternet with default settings.

Please keep us updated on your experience as we don't have many stock users report here. If any other stock users have had issues or have not had issues we would like to hear from them as well. This Verizon issue has been a mess.

Factory Reset seems to have done the trick. Now to spend the rest of the day setting things back up.
I am all stock as well, and have the unlocked version on Verizon. I have had this phone since it was released with no issues. There was an update install that happened a few days ago and that is when all the problems seem to have happened.
I get that same error screen.

Try a factory reset. It fixed it for me.

That's good to hear. So how many months have you been using the stock U11 on Verizon without any other issues? This is good info I been wanting to hear about.
I just did a reset too, and now I am able to send SMS messages as well.

And you are only running with LTE band 13. Never any signal issues or slow data speed? And if you don't mind, what area do you live?

Yes only band 13. No issues but sometimes it can get slow in congested areas. I live outside of Charlotte and work in uptown.
Same here. Only LTE band 13 and middle of Nebraska. I have an hr commute to work through rural Nebraska and stay connected to LTE about 85% of the time according to the Open Signal app. The places I loose service is where my old original HTC One would drop down to 1X service. I have 4G LTE in places where my old phone would only have 3G, but the 4G isn't as strong of a signal as the 3G was. There is still enough to make a phone call though.

Thanks a lot guy's, I was having a great experience with only band 13 on stock I had no complaints. But your input kinda confirms what I have suspected, it's probably best to stay on stock with this phone on Verizon. It is very finnicky with Verizon, Verizon does not play nice with unlocked phones outside of their network unless you are Google or Apple with an agreement with Verizon. I had to send mine in for warranty repair, I hope I get it fixed with Verizon signal working.
I'm running pure stock and have had two major issues with this phone on vsw, 1st was about on October 3rd where after losing service in the plant I work in, service never came back unless I put in an att sim card or factory reset the phone. The factory reset worked then but took 2 days to get everything dialed back in.
Now I have this EXACT issue. I can receive sms, I can receive mms, I can send mms, but I cannot send sms.
are there some settings we can change inside the apn to make this work?
This issue again cropped up after losing service inside the plant and when I tried to go outside to get it back, this happens.
