Welcome to the death star. We haven't had good reception since the rebels blew it up.
Always on edge at my house.
Have a few beers...
Call at&t and complain to them. They might send you a free microcell.

Root and change the radio to a newer version for an extra 10 db or so. If not able then use wifi.

Have you tried changing the setting to wcdma only? I was working in downtown Boston and my phone would lose signal all the time and after I changed it to wcdma it seemed to hold the signal better
Setting>wireless> mobile network?

Been stuck on 1x all morning, have tried rebooting, toggling connection (I am not in 4g area). I am on MR2 released radio. I am rooted.
Any one else having 3g or even 4g connection issues?

Toggle to cdma prl in York LTE settings and reboot. If I have LTE set on I get 1x all the time. Not sure if its the real problem or fix but seems to work for me. I'm also in a 3g area.

Same issue here.
This morning I wake up, and my thunderbolt is stock on 1x. If I switch to 4G, it will do 4g, but back to CDMA only, and stuck on 1x. I have 4G at home, but leave it on 3G because I normally am at work with no 4G coverage.
I flashed the stock mr 2 rom just to confirm and used the official radio just to be safe. No change.
Googled around a bit and here is a fix that worked for me...
Dialer -> ##778# ->Call -> Edit -> 000000 -> modem settings ->Rev A
Switch to enable from eHRPD and then hit back once. Menu->Commit.
Solved for me, but I don't know if it has adverse effects...

Did the exact same thing. Doesn't have adverse affects other than with losing benefits of LTE.

This makes your phone use the "old" version of EvDO. Basically what all 3g phones that don't have 4g radios use. If your area doesn't have 4g, doing this change shouldn't effect you at all and might get you 3g if you are stuck in 1x.

1X here all morning too. I'm in San Francisco.
On the plus side, my DL/UL speeds suck, but ping is 9 ms, so Mobile Hotspotting is still relatively fast.

Dont think you can use data while on a call when using EVDO, like you could on LTE.

You can in 3G with the Thunderbolt. I did it yesterday. I work in 4G but live in 3G, but this feature is what finally made me pick the TB over the Charge.
I started this morning with the 3G/4G toggle on 3G only, to save battery, and around lunch I switched 4G back on and it has been there since... I haven't had issues with 1X. Must be a regional thing.

But we had to switch to the old network to get 3g to work at all.

I've tried WCDMA Preferred and GSM Auto (PRL) but I am constantly losing 4G switching back and forth in areas I have never had a problem.
Download the app called 'Network' in the Android market and set it to WCDMA only.
That isn't a solution but why wouldn't I just set it in the testing mode? Why download another app?
I lose 4g often too....and I go down to 2g....what happened to 3g? My old prepaid Cricket phone had a consistent 3g signal all over Tucson, while the 4g is really fast, it isn't reliable, and almost (almost) makes me wanna go back on cricket.
this radio is garbage.
my g2 was piss poor with 4g and this one is even worse.
I can watch it sit on the table and go from full bars of 4g to 2 bars of 2g/edge and STAY there.
sorry for the uninformed question, but is this something that can be fixed in a new rom, or mod?
I added data tweaks to my roms. I don't have any issues.

Mind sharing?
It's not the radio. It's more likely the 4G signal in your area. I am in Atlanta and I have full bar 4G almost everywhere I go. At home it will drop down to 2G but I have wifi there.
As for 3G, this is a 4G radio. We're you joking about the 3G expectations?

Point #1 - You are incorrect. I am saturated with T-Mos "fake" 4G coverage and have never had a phone drop it like this one does.
Point #2 - What are you asking the other posted about 3G expectations. This phone doesn't have a 4G radio. T-Mo doesn't have 4G. They have 3G that they market as 4G.

Everyone has "fake" 4G coverage. LTE isn't technically classified as "4G" either, the specification calls for rates of at least 100/mbps. T-Mobile currently has faster and more widespread pre-4G coverage than any other carrier, and the phone does have a pre-4G radio. The phone does support HSDPA at rates up to 21Mbps, and does is in fact have a pre-4G radio. And as far as my other comment not being a solution, have you tried it before bashing it? I've had plenty of luck with that solution personally and I figured it would be kind of me to share, but I suppose I stand corrected.

Yes. Thanks to your roms, I have signal in places I never had before (like the bathroom at work. I can now surf while doing my "business" and important "paper work" in my "office", ya know.?
while i poop.
What are data tweaks?
I have noticed like the iPhone 4 that if you touch that metal peice on the back around the camera the signal drops. I got a case that covers that up and that fixed all my 4g signal problems. My phone stays on 4g most of the time where I am. The T-Mobile network where I live works very well though.

Sure I will share, go to the MT4GS Android Development and try my Doubleshot v1.2.0, or try my Senseless v2.1.0. Both are stable.

If you are on the tmobile network, you can't get 3g anymore if your phone is a 4g phone. It's either 4g or 2g.

have all HSDPA towers been upgraded to HSDPA+?
Or does the phone just recognize all HSDPA as '4G'?

It recognizes all HSDPA as '4G', I have full signal in certain areas with a '4G' icon but get speeds around 1Mbps and when I check the actual signal with third-party apps it is registered as HSDPA.
i think u guys got bad apples cause i always get 4g an my friend wit the same phone has 4g all the time
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.
I rooted my T-mobile galaxy blaze 4g and installed ICS 2.3.6. A short time later I upgraded to CM10.0.0. It was there that I noticed that I lost my 4G capability. I only have 2G/3G service now. Where did it go and how can I get it back? Please help!

Go into settings/wireless/more/mobile networks/network mode and check mark the one with lte. This should solve your problem
Did that but still showing 2G/3G and an H+ for my network connectivity. Could it be because T Mobile does not recognize this particular ROM yet and therefore has not authorized it to carry 4g? Kind of at a loss as what to do anybody with other suggestions please.

OK cool. I hate to belabor this topic but it why is the 4g intermittent and 3g and 2g seem to be default? It only goes into H+ intermittently it's in very few circumstances. Primarily remains in 3g and menu allows me to go down to 2g. I'm pretty new, I've done a lot of reading, I'm just trying to understand. Thank you for all your help.

Its just as frequent as your last ics , the difference is 4g from T-Mobile never leaves the screen but you were still alternating 3g/4g just the same. Another thing is T-Mobile has less 4g towers than say sprint or atnt sooo really nothings changed. Enjoy !!!
TMO ROMs show 4G full time to avoid panic.
TMO calls HSPA14 and up "4G".
H+ is HSPA+21 and higher.
Phone automatically ramps down to H or "3G" when data connection is more or less idle. Under use, it'll ramp up to H+. Potential battery saving...
Nothing has changed compared with before, except the dummy icon.
