Alright, I'm a flash addict, love trying all the roms and well I was switching from bamf 2.0 beta 4, to Gingeritis VIII. I did my wipes and everything special, yet when I finally load it up, my 4g is not there. I'm in a 4g area, and I can get 3g but not my normal 4g. Not sure what to do, I even tried restoring back to my bamf rom with no luck. I had it before I did the switch and it was working fine. Anyone else having a issue or know what could be causing my problems? Forgot to mention I did try changing the radio settings and doing a fix permissions, neither did anything.
Did you update the radio?
Have you called Verizon to see if there is an outage? My 4g went down for a few hours yesterday, might just be them working on the network.
Radio was updated and I'll give big red a call, I mean its kinda odd I hold my 3g easily yet my 4g dies. I've had my 4g all night, and it did happen in the morning, so maybe they are working on it.
Called big red and they told me it would be back online soon just a short outage in the area. Came back online as I was typing this lmfao

Everyone needs to remember, VZW is constantly upgrading/testing/fixing their LTE network. Things like this will be going on most likely all year as they continue to roll out to more cities/markets. First thing to do if your 4G starts acting up is just give them a call. More likely than not, they are doing work, it's just coincidence that it stopped working right after a flash
Yeah I can't get 4g to work either. It might be because I don't have it yet. I figured I would just flash rom after rom till I find one that works.
Just trying to get past 10 posts.
I am also in a 4G area (Los angeles) and had 4G all the time but when I upgraded to the Gingerbread leak I lost it and yes I flashed new radio, its been about a week now. Haven't called big red yet and also haven't heard of updates in my area but 1 week, that's a long time. I also reverted to froyo with accompanying radio and no change...wondering if anyone else in LA area has the same problem or do I have a problem with my phones hardware...
Be sure to reboot the phone like 5 times. That brought it back for me.

I haven't had any data since friday afternoon. I had it connect to 3G earlier this morning but it promptly disconnected.
I've tried rebooting since friday. Setting to CDMA, enabling Rev A from ##778. Still nothing.
I'm on the launch stock rooted rom.

I called tech support and let them know of the issue, said there is no 4g outages in my area (los angeles) and was instructed to factory reset, which i do before any rom install then i gotta call back-if and when i get this resolved i will post the outcome.
Not sure what rom you're on now, but whenever I flash something if I lose data I have to go into the antenna settings and force 4G for a while and it will pop back up

I'm still on Baseband 1.16.00.0223 and Software 1.12.605.6
Could it be since i'm rooted and have not applied the OTA, that verizon is refusing to authenticate my data (connection)? Because when i look at lteonoff, it says i'm connected to whatever network i specify, (LTE, CDMA - eHRPD OR Rev. A [if i go into ##778])
If I go to options ->software update -> check new, the 3G or 4G icon will pop up and checks for a newer firmware. It tells me there is a new update and i can press okay, defer, or deny. As soon as i exit that and try to use the browser, the 3/4G icon goes away. Should I update to the MR1 OTA?

No, that's not why you don't have to worry about that just yet haha. Try and force 4G by putting it in LTE mode

Im just in a 3g area and everytime I go to a gigerbread rom and radio all I get is 1x. Then reverting started jot even fixing the problem. After about 10 flashes back and forth and rebooting a hung I finally ended up on Froyo with 3g. I'm staying here. Not worth my time to run gingerbread.
I was running a GB rom and this afternoon lost all data.
If I take out the sim card and reboot, I can get data for a minute or two...then it goes again.
I'm going back to stock and taking my phone in tomorrow.
Ugh to the guy that said call tech support to see if there is an outage, I don't work in a call center but do in a store and I hate when people come in or call for outages my suggestion is to follow @vzwsupport on Twitter they will let you know in no time and it keeps you from having to go through the menus and crap.

I re-flashed back to stock and now I've got 4G back.
If anyone is having these problems after running GB I would use JCase's "back to Froyo" flash before trying anything else.
Verizon has had a known problem of thunderbolts loosing its 4g, 3g and 1x. I had the same problem over a month ago when my phone was only able to receive calls and text. Had no data.. so I called them they had me do a factory reset and it fixed it

turn off background data and auto sync then reboot when u get 4g wait a sec then check the internet to make sure its really on then turn sync etc back on back on
I applied the update late Friday night and have not been able to get a 4G signal since. I'm normally in a strong 4G area and had not had any problems like this in the past except for the nationwide outage of course.
I've tried battery pulls, toggling LTE off and on and even did a factory reset. I then talked to tech support and they did a few things on their end that were unsuccessful. They then told me to get a new SIM card but once again, no luck.
Tech support is at a loss to explain what is going on and has escalated it to the higher level of support. It can take up to a week for them to get to a ticket so I guess I'm SOL until they take a look at it.
Anybody else having 4G problems since the update?
I haven't applied the update but have been stuck in 1X all day as well. I also pulled the battery, switched back and forth on Rev A, and toggled LTE. Nothing. Was going to revert back to a saved ROM next. My wife's phone happily receives 3G.
Did the update Friday night and 4G is as strong as ever.

My 4g is also working. What is weird is when I loaded a ROM I lost all signal. I loaded another Rom and nothing. I had to load radio file in hboot and I was back in business.
yea in such circumstances I had reflashed the radio and it works just fine, give it a shot
Received a replacement today, popped in the SIM card and am back to 4G. No idea what happened but the update is definitely to blame.
Yeah I got mess up too with the new update. Had to get a new simcard today and it work ok.
4G working just fine for me also

glad you got it worked out. I would have reflashed just the radio to try and fix it.
Having this issue as well since yesterday (7/11). Loaded Th3ory 5.0 with the newest radio to two different Tbolts (mine and a coworkers) and we're both experiencing the same issue. Flashed different versions of the radio, including the newest one again and had 4G come back for a short period of time before all service was gone again. Not sure if its an issue with Th3ory rom itself and since I cant post in that thread until I make a few more spam posts about nothing to get my post count up, I figured I'd post it here.
in Mid-town NYC where 4g has never been an issue before.
I should add that I wasn't rooted.
What happens if you're Rooted and running a custom ROM and you do a SIM Card pull? I really want to try this method, but i'm scared this will force my phone to download the new OTA update and that i'll either brick my phone or run into some serious issues.
I have had trouble for the last two days getting 4G, never had a problem before.

don't think anyone else is having problems. Might be network issues in your area. Just flashed gingertheory 5.0 yesterday with the new stock 2.0 radio from the update and no problems.
I am having the same issues 4g is gone and only stuck on 1x
Make sure you check your sim and battery cover.

You dont need to pull out the sim card, pulling the battery is good enough. All it does is update the PRL.

I'm in the same boat.... I used to get 3-4 bars of 4G service at my home, now after the update I barely get 1 bar of 3G service. I have to force the phone to lock onto 4G by choosing LTE only.

Sorry if this is redundant folks, but a friend of my stepfather has been having some issues. He recently purchased a G2X, used it for a month or 2 on T-Mobile, but now wants to switch to AT&T with his girlfriend. He's gotten pretty far, getting the IMEI from T-Mo and getting it actually unlocked. He's now got Calls and Texts up and running on AT&T's network, but he can't get any data to work. We know that 3G won't work on it, but we assumed EDGE would.
Any help here? I'm sure it something reasonably simple.
Please and thanks, XDA!
There's a thread in the SGS2 dev section with AT&T's APN settings. They probably need to be changed in the phone.
Mine is unlocked and I tried my wife's at&t sim and had no issues connecting to internet. Not that that helps you, just wanted to throw in my experience. I wonder if it makes a difference which type of rate/data plan the at&t sim is on.
G2X CM7
Thanks Barry, I found that thread and sent him the APN settings. I'll post back tomorrow with results.
And thanks for your input phburks. The reason why yours worked may be that you're running CM. Our g2x is running stock Android.

Morning all,
This is probly a noobie question but i couldn't find an answer searching around. My son just got a replacment phone from Asurion, Sprint Insurance Claim. Its a nexus s just like his last one. Its updated to JB. But now with this phone beofe he updated it and after the call reception is terrible. I asked him to text me the baseband and prl info and this is what he sent me.
Baseband - D720SPRLF2
PRL Version - P:None
Dose anybody know why it says P:None under prl version? How can i fix this? Is this why the call reception is so bad or do i got to try a differnt baseband? If so any one know one that works well in the Madison WI area? I am going to see my son tommarrow and can look at the phone in person then, just want to have a game plan because i will only have a limited time with the phone.
Any and all help greatly apreciated!

Can he not go into settings, about phone, sprint updates and update his profile and prl? My current prl is 60690.
He said he tried that the other day and it didn't change. Is there a dialer code to force an update?

i askd sprint that the other day and they said
no, not any more...
my prl is 61090
but it's a business account
i'm on LF2 as well
so it aint the radio...
fwiw
Called T-Mobile up, it is a software bug that HTC is actively working on. In the mean time, I have NO 3G/4G. I'm stuck on GSM 2G. :/
They coughed up the data portion of my bill, which was nice. Is there any way to fix it in the meantime?
I get 4G fine!

Same here. Not getting 4G. Seems like quite a few is experiencing it. Look at the Tmobile support forums for HTC one S.
Flash a custom Rom, get 4g back. At the very least I would root and take a look at the build.prop settings, might be something simple in there. If you'd like, upload your build.prop file so we can check out out

I'm going to attempt to run the RUU to go back, but I doubt it will work since I'm downgrading. :/

Would I still be able to revert back to stock rom jus incase I have to return it.
Well... now that I can't downgrade via RUU... :/
Alright, I can't take it anymore. CM10 didn't fix the issue AT ALL. I am stuck on Edge no matter what ROM I'm on.
Here is the thread on T-Mobile's forums about the problem
support.t-mobile.com/thread/33209?tstart=0 (I'm a new user here, can't post links, you'll have to cut and paste)
The problem appears to be specific to certain phones. I tried my SIM card in a demo phone at the T-Mobile store and we updated their phone to the latest version while I was there and it did not have a problem connecting to the 4G network.
I checked the software versions on their phone vs. mine and they all match.
This update contains a new HBOOT and radio update. Because of the HBOOT update, there is no way to roll back to a previous version. I am guessing that the problem is with the radio update since custom roms do not appear to fix the problem. Because of the new HBOOT, there doesn't appear to be a way to downgrade the radio either.
I contacted HTC and they were no help. They told me they were aware of the problem and were working on it, but had no ETA for a fix. T-Mobile told me they were unable to exchange the phone since there is no guarantee the new phone won't have the same problem.
The problem is a hardware issue with the one s.
Turns out a chip is fried affecting your 4g.
Even after installing another Rom, it won't fix your problem.
Happened to me and I got mine replaced.
It's not specific to the 4.0.4 update. It affects non upgraded phones as well.
If your not getting 4g then you got a bad phone.

I was getting 4G fine right before the update. Right after the update, no 4G. Others have had the exact same problem caused by the update. T-Mobile says it is a problem with the update affecting certain handsets. HTC says it is a problem with the update affecting certain handsets.
Are you saying the process of applying the update is frying certain handsets since the problem is only showing up by applying the update?
There is no 4g for the one S because the chipset does not support 4g.
If I helped in any way please hit thanks
I happened to encounter this issue. But my handset was defective because it was brand new and I'm stuck on 2g. I am waiting on a replacement phone. I literally just had it delivered today and it sucks having this problem right out of the box.

That is how mine was. My phone got "4G" (HSPA+) before the update, no luck after the update.
Same problem here with 4. 0.4. Went to CM10 and got 4G again. My MMS doesn't work though
I actually had this happen on the phone I bought directly from my local T-Mobile store last Friday (10/05). I went back in the next day after discovering the thread on the T-Mobile support forums, and they exchanged the phone for me in-store, there on the spot. I have perfectly functioning 4G now, but I'm terrified to run the update for fear of it happening again.
Does any one know if there's any kind of data specifying a certain production run of phones, or anything of that nature?

Are you retarded?
trmacdonal that is not very nice.
And not really in any way helpful.
According to the most recent post in the T-Mobile support thread, HTC is aware of the issue, has no idea what is causing it, and has no ETA for a fix. Glad I went and got another phone when I did, but I'm fairly miffed that I can't update without fear of turning my smartphone in a, well... phone.
Interesting that this happens only after the 4.0.4 update. I'd like to keep my fast connection; is there a way to keep the phone from downloading and applying the update?
I had a similar issue with my HTC G2 two years ago. HSPA icon appeared, but only one arrow would flash; no connectivity. I could connect to the Internet only using 2G and WiFi. Some devices had the issue, others did not. It lasted for about a month or two, then the issue magically disappeared. Perhaps they rolled updates when the problem occurred and resolved, I'm not sure. If I disabled WiFi on the G2, sometimes the HSPA would connect; there seemed to be an issue switching from WiFi to HSPA. Unfortunately, it sounds like the One S has a slightly different issue. I'll continue to monitor this thread and the one at support.t-mo.
