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?

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

I have a problem where my Charge thinks I am always roaming. One other person in posted in this forum with this problem but had no responses and he is a one post wonder. Has anyone else seen this problem. I have sent this device to Samsung twice and it has not been fixed. They will not replace it. Verizon did some stuff overt the phone that was of no help. This does not happen if I put my sim in a Thunderbolt and it does happen if I put another Sim into this device. It has to be the device. Any ideas?
i think that I ran into this problem just the other day have you figured out how to fix it.
I thought that the sim was supposed to automatically update roaming.
I have tried flashing Roms over top using odin cwm and nothing has helped, i don't know what else to do.
What are you running on it (roms, radios, etc) and what have YOU done to try fixing it?

I was on Gummy charge fe 1.9.1 and a few days ago it put me into roaming mode. all the areas where i would have perfect 4g or 3g reception say i am roaming. I tried reflashing the gummy rom in odin and in cwm then i tried getting the new leak to see if the newest modems would fix it. Niether of those worked so i tried flashing the EE4 stock rom and that didn't work either. I didn't want to keep flashing after that because i didn't want to end up ruining my phone any mor. I flashed each of them a few times to make sure it wasn't just an error.
I wiped all data did factory restore wiped cache dalvik and even battery(i know that didn't really do anything useful but thought i would try it).
I didn't know what else to do so i figured i would leave it on stock unrooted and see if anyone could help me here before i called up verizon.
I also tried taking the battery out and sim for about half an hour to see if that would do anything but it didn't help either.
Is "data network mode" on your power menu activated? May seem like a stupid question....Also, can you make calls?

Yes i can make and recieve calls also i can send and recieve text messages. I did find out that when i go into a 4g area that it will connect so i was wrong about that part. Earlier i just assumed the 4g would act the same I just wasn't in a 4g area for a couple days because I had off of work. But as soon as I leave the 4g area it says that I am roaming.
This info may help solve the problem and sorry about saying the 4g didn't work. you know what they say when you assume you just make an ass out of u and me.
I am thinking that it is just the 3g antenna going bad or something because I saw that was happening to some people but I am not sure if it is the same predicament.
Thank you for the help so far though.
Oh yeah and also the mobile network is on If that was the problem I would probably be really upset with myself that i didn't notice. Although I have seen it happen when i went to verizon to get a new sim card after something happened to mine I ended up waiting there for half an hour for them to get my phone working only to find out the reason they couldn't get the new sim working right was because they had the mobile data turned off.
Multiple Roms, stock and custom, gingerbread and froyo. kernels radios, you name it. No problem with voice. Shows data roaming all the time and will not get data unless I enable data roaming in the settings. If I pull my sim out and put it in my Thunderbolt there are no problems. I also tried a different sim and the problem was still there. I have already sent it to Samsung for this as well as talked to Verizon.
So I recently bought the girlfriend a Samsung Galaxy S 4g. Definitely a bit different than the Evo in terms of the overall process. It didn't help that I started out in the Vibrant forums somehow...
Anyway. As it stands right now I have her phone all rooted and it has CWM and I'm using the Valhalla ROM. The issue is that she doesn't have data.... and when I go into wireless networks and check out the mobile networks and such, I can never actually see T-Mobile. If I search I can see AT&T, which I connect to and I start roaming. If I do this I still don't actually have internet. I can't use the market, or the web browser or facebook or anything that requires data. The browser will sometimes redirect me to some web2go website, otherwise it just times out or says it can't connect to the server.
So does anybody know what's going on? Please let me know if you need any more details.
I've never had trouble like this between my Evo, or my Epic 4g Touch or any friends phones. I've also tried going back to 100% stock unrooted GB and I still have the exact same problem. The ROM doesn't seem to matter, neither does being rooted.
Since you are running Valhalla bring down the notification bar and make sure you have the data toggle on.
Yep, it's definitely toggled to on. I even cycle airplane mode and make sure it's on afterwards.
Only other thing I would suggest is a factory reset. The phone should be picking up the T-mobile network without any problems. But if rooted or not and on stock vs custom rom the issue remains you may just have to set it back to stock and send it in for replacement.
And I know this is a silly question but make sure you call T-mobile and verify that this line has data plan. It has happened in the past when I added a line that it wasn't provisioned correctly and out of the blue the data stopped working. The service was automatically removed due to a reps mistake.
Check your APN settings. Should be T-Mobile's, if not then that's what causing the issue. Just look up for those on google.
Sent from my SGS4G using xda forum app
My APN settings are correct. I've now tried several other APN settings though, and this hasn't helped.
I know this phone is on a data plan. It's on the $50.00 a month prepaid. It did work when we got it, and after it was rooted. I just noticed recently that it stopped working, and I'm not sure at what point it happened, and if it has anything to do with what I've done.
I called tmobile and they said they couldn't see any network related issues going on. Just my phone not connecting, so it was made a ticket for the engineers I guess haha. They are supposed to work on it, and they usually will either fix it and never contact you, or call you if they need you to do something.
Bump.
I've been in really good service areas with full bars T-Mobile and I still don't have internet. So I really don't know what's up. The "T-Mobile engineers" haven't called me back or fixed anything yet.
I'm about to bring myself back to stock and bring it in to a store.
Bring it back to stock & maybe put it in recovery mode & wipe caches & do factory reset again. See if that helps before returning it.

You might try reflashing the ROM or maybe just flash a different modem. I had issues like that once when i was on black ice. If you had data before, there probably isn't anything wrong with your phone.

Having the same Data problem
I had an unlocked ATT BB Curve on T-Mobile and the data was working (although very slow...)
I decided to try out a "Vibrant" hoping to be able to install ICS via Cyanablahblah.
Searching on Ebay I bought one only it turned out to be the 4G (it didn't realize there was a difference.)
Since then I can't get DATA on the 4G except in WiFi.
On the network it goes to the page: u.web2go.com and says my data plan does not work on this device.
Has anybody had any success with this problem ?
Could it be a 4G issue ? Before DATA came from Edge.
Have you checked what your APN settings should be with the magics of Google?

Is there any way to fool it with a 3G modem flash or something ?
I think I screwed up when I bought the phone not realizing there were 2 variants of the "Vibrant."
I wonder if I would have this problem with the earlier (non "V") 3g phone.
Probably. If it were just the 3G/4G causing the problem, you can force the SGS4G to only use 2G networks in the data settings... but if it's anything like the old Verizon bits with tethering and other data, they check for specific data strings that are harder to fake... I mean, set.

UPDATE 2. I've read enough around and heard from enough people that it doesn't matter if you root, flash a rom, tw or cm10 or are totally stock. the SGS 3 eats SIM cards. most think it does so when flashing or updating to the G7 radio. doesn't matter if you flashed it yourself or took the OTA update. Some people just can't get 4g. some can't check for a receive OTA updates. A new SIM card has fixed every issue i've seen so far regarding either of those two issues.
UPDATE....new sim card was the only thing that would fix this issue for me. Seems it wasn't cm10 related as I couldn't get 4g on stock or on tw roms either. Not sure if the sgs3 is eating sims or if the flashing of roms or radios or rooting caused the issue.
I used to have 4G...then I started using some cm10 ROMs and now 4G is gone. Looking for recommendations on how to get it back?
Do you think a data wipe and loading of a TW ROM would be enough? or are more drastic measures needed?
thanks,
(I don't live in a 4G area so I can only test when I'm out on the road) (otherwise I'd load a TW ROM right now to test)

Well, I live outside of normal Verizon territory so maybe that's why I get "can't complete the number as dialed" message when I try *#*#4636#*#*
Here is a screenshot of those settings when looking through the menus
Go back to stock. If it's not working still - back up everything you want on your INTERNAL SD card (like pictures, etc) and dial *2767*3855# . Should fix it. The reason you probably can't dial the above # is you're not on stock.
I had the same problem and I have no idea why this fixed it or if it will help you, but here's what I did.
Download Phone Info from the Play Store and use it to force LTE only. When I did that, the lte icon came on but I had no bars. I opened the browser to see if I had data at all, which I did. Then all of a sudden i'm back to 4 bars on lte. I went back into Phone Info and switched it back to the default and then even uninstalled it and i'm still back to normal lte service.

that app won't even open. I'm guessing you need to be on a touch wiz rom or completely stock to use it?
Use that app. Its just a shortcut for the dialer code I gave you. Don't know why it didn't work though. Its a internal command I can run it in airplane mode.

I restored a backup of a Touch Wiz rom i had saved and there I could use the app. (dialing the number directly still didnt' work just fyi)
So next time i'm in a 4g area...I'll restore that tw rom and run that app and give it a go.
If it works. Then i think I'll try to install the cm10 rom i want to use and test 4g again.
thanks for the help.
I did a format system when I installed my cna cm10 rom. Any chance that made me lose 4g?
seems odd as many are using that rom with 4g.
Did it break for me for how I did my system wipe or factory reset or that i used CWM instead of TWRP?
ugh. to many things it could probably be

I had the same problem after installing aokp jb#1.
Rolled back to stock rooted, tried cm10, aokp 2&3.
Still no 4G.
Was planning to go back to stock and hit Verizon.
In the meantime, I installed juice defender to extend battery life.
Juice defender disables WiFi and radios to save energy.
Sure enough, when I wake the phone, 4G comes on!!!
Not 100% sure this is what fixed it, but.... I have solid 4G now

As soon as i switch back to LTE/CDMA/EvDO the phone goes back to 3g and I can get calls. I'm going to head to the verizon store after work to see if they'll give me a new SIM but just seems strange I can force LTE and it works.

what your describing with your 4G was Exactly my experience with it. new sim card...and all is well.
So here is what I am looking for... i have a Verizon SCH-i535, and what I am looking for is someone who has flashed the stock tmobile rom and changed the bands within the phone its self using the hidden menu (netmonitor app) to see if they can get more than just edge data... I have it flashed to AT&T right now and am using a friends T-mobile sim card that we cut down to fit into the SCH-i535 GS3... it seemed to sync with the towers and get mms.. text.. calls... and internet... just not 3g... I would like to know if someone has found a fix to this issue...
Thanks for your time.
Why not just flash the Verizon Jellybean Rom (Cleanrom or Jellywiz) since global mode was enabled in that Rom? Then drop your tmo sim in.

You know I had not thought about using the global mode on verizon.. I will have to give that a try... do you know if that will allow for 3g on tmobile?
Useful thread so far, but I have a several questions.
I currently have a Verizon Galaxy S3 SGH-i535 with a T-Mobile prepaid sim card (unlimited everything), I can call and text, but cannot get any network access.
I'm currently running Clean Rom 5, settings on Global. Is there any way I can enable data, preferred 3G? [due to that T-Mobile will get 4G on Verizon phones next month).
On CM10, I get Edge and can receive text, but cannot send text. Tried APN settings, etc. Is there a fix for this?
I have tried everything, but no luck. Any suggestions is appreciative

So what I did is i unlocked the bootloader... rooted it... and then flashed the AT&T stock rom on it and then plugged in the TMO sim card and then changed the bands to GSM auto. and it picked up edge... I was able to get access to the network with data... but the only catch was that it was slow as hell... as it was only edge. I am still working on programming to get the i535 on the tmobile bands... thus far I have not been able to get the phone on 4g or even 3g yet... I will keep you updated though.

There is an app out there that will get access to the menu and allow you to change everything in the phone... but be very careful with this app as it can and will brick your phone if you do not know what you are doing with the app..
Netmonitor --> look for this on the google play store
To change the bands to at least get data on the phone, follow the instructions below:
1. install Netmonitor on the S3
2. open the app
3. hit the menu button
4. select field test
5.select UMTS
6. Select DEBUG SCREEN
7. Select PHONE CONTROL
8. Select NETWORK CONTROL
9. select BAND SELECTION
10. Select either AUTOMATIC or GSM Band Preference
* if you choose automatic the phone will look at the sim card and go from there to get the phone on the network to get data on the phone.
11. Select GSM ALL
This is the thread that I am following at the moment to get the phone on HSPA+ or 3G.. If you have anymore questions then please let me know I will do my best to help you out.

I have not tried that yet, but just right now, I got successful on connecting with Data by changing my APN (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34632097#post34632097), but fairly still slow G speed. Hoping for HSPA+ or 3G too.

Changing APN's is another way to do what I just told you about... My way is a little easier.. lol .. let me know if you want/need any further help
Hmm, one more thing:
Is there anyway to make this work on CM10 or AOKP? Due to that global setting/APN setting is not available on these ROMs. =/

I have not messed with custom roms just yet I am working with stock roms and rooting and unlocking bootloaders right now... I will see if I can find them time to load a CM10 on my s3 that I am using for development and get back to you with the results here as soon as I have them... I am not for sure if I am going to be able to get to it this week as I have alot going on but I will try and get to it.
Thanks for your support.
In the mean time, I will see if the CM or AOKP team can implement these settings.

that would be great! If I can help in any other way let me know.. or if they have questions please give them a link to this thread. and I will be more than happy to talk to them.
hey guys sorry that it has taken awhile for me to get back to you.. so I flashed the TMO rom on the I5 and got the same results just edge. I think that I am going to try using bobloblaw1 suggestion and flash the verizon leaked jellybean rom and then use global mode to be able to see if I am going to be able to get more than edge...
Here is a guide if you do not know how to flash roms on your S3 here
greetings, all.
i have the same problem that you are describing. running CM 11 Nightly (but problem also existed on VZW stock & CM 10.2). i have read all the forum's about this topic, but as of yet there seems to be no SURE fix to get anything faster than Edge data from T-mobile.
