I have a very peculiar situation. A few weeks ago I called Verizon's prepaid department and started the process of getting month to month 4G data on my Xoom. When it came to the activation step on the xooms end, it kept coming up as already activated but wouldn't let me access any other page besides the activation page. The VZW rep said there was nothing else she could do for me. About a week later I was swapping the 4G sim card from my HTC Rezound into the Xoom and vice versa. Just for kicks, I powered on my rezound and to my surprise I was getting access to data on it with the xooms sim. Seeing as how the sim works in my phone and not the tablet, I figure that there must be some way to change the APN settings on the Xoom to mimic my phones. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Are you stock? If so root and flash EOS and see if it works. I'm curious about this.
I have the same problem I'm on stock rom I went to the verizon store I went through 3 sim cards and new line. Still will not activate . I bought it of someone who had it rooted before he sold it to me and returned it to stock rom. I updated it from 3.1 all the way to 3.2 and still no help. I going to ship it to Motorola to see I'd they can fix the problem.

27 days into the TB and since 3pm yesterday no more 3G signal. I only can get 4G when I'm in town. Not sure what happened, worked a bit with Verizon who actually thought it could be a tower issue but talked to a few friends at work they have 3G no problem. I flashed back to stock rooted, then stock no root and still same issue. Sucks at home since 4G doesn't go that far and without 3G I get no signal. Verizon said no problem take to the store and they replace.
Well its not the phone.... SIM CARD!!
Guys at the Verizon store say they have been seeing phones come in that 3g or 4g just stops working and they have been replacing the sim card. Sure enough fixed the issue. Then they tried to tell me that the LTE app could be the cause, so I removed it and dialed the number to the phone menu.. they just looked at me. Then I asked if that is the case, why did they just tell me they have been seeing phones come in that have the same problem and the sim card fixes it, I bet those phones don't toggle the 4g and 3g... They shut up.. Even Verizon TS over the phone says they know about the app and its not the problem! Oh well, get to root again tonight..
i posted this on another website's forum yesterday...sorry for those who read it twice, but i got no responses and am desperate.
so my launch day phone had a bit of an accident last weekend the screen cracked. I was able to get another thunderbolt from someone, was originally a refurb (tag under battery says "remanufactured in Philippines" )
any who I've been using the refurb one for about a week now, no major issues. But now today I can't get LTE at all...I've tried reflashing different radios, going back to sense over CM7...nothing. Put the same sim card in another phone right next to it, LTE.
What else can I do? thanks in advance
Have you installed an app recently that is messing up the phone? Have you checked to see if LTE is active on the phone? *#*#4636#*#* and check your phone info. Could always try flashing another radio.
Why does everyone start flashing radios and performing hard resets on their phones when a signal problem shows up? Wouldn't it be wise to contact Verizon first and make sure it isn't their problem? If you haven't changed anything on your phone, there's a 99% chance that verizon is having an off day.
nothing comes to mind that i would of installed that triggered this.
tried different radios.
called verizon to see what they can do. Looks like I can get a replacement phone shipped out. Now to return to stock. thanks.

I'm surprised the VZW rep didn't tell you that it's because the 4G sim cards are paired with your phone. I tried to swap 2 4G phones on my account in the past and I was told that the 4G cards are associated to the phones and they would need to send me out new 4G sim cards. This was a while ago, so I'm not sure if it's still valid, but I would think that they'd have a way to re-link the sim cards on their end.
Good luck with this.
I bought a house and moved.
No service in the house with Verizon.
So, I switched to AT&T.
AT&T told me I would get HSPA+ with my Verizon S3.
Well... I have 2G, voice, and text.
Anyone have an idea of how to get HSPA+ enabled? Is it possible?
I have a custom ROM, but I can flash anything if it would help.
I don't think it's possible, they run on completely different networks (CDMA Vs GSM) and the phones radios are built accordingly.

I'm leaning toward that. Guess I'll upgrade....
Verizon to AT&T and SIM unlock with NO codes

There is a way cant remember where i read it, maybe on the t-mobile forum. I recently bricked my att device and came across a verizon variant and was able to use it for att with out having it sim unlocked just a few hours ago steps taken were as follows:
After swapping the motherboards i factory reset the non rooted verizon device from the settings menu as I was just going to sell it on ebay. I had been using wifi only on a sim locked t-mobile device but the camera was not working so i switched back to the verizon and was prompted to complete the set up after i booted the device with no sim card inside. I got the no sim card message and ran the app Region Lock Away that has a red circle icon and a black unlocked pad lock by chainfire. I was skeptical 1 for the device not being rooted but tried anyway. The app said it was not able to verfiy root and closed; however once I inserted my att sim card without powering off the device i saw signal bars. Now Im not sure the app actually did anything and I might have tried the app before resetting it without success but after checking the network mode in the mobile networks tab it now shows Global as the preferred network. So i started texting people and then calling all with success. Now im still on the edge network and this may not solve your issue but I remember seeing the work around I think it has to do with correcting the APN settings but there is always a way to get things done. Keep looking you will find it. Im just happy to have cell service again but Ill be looking for the thread in a day or so as well.
Forced into an AT&T phone. It worked for 4 days then stopped. Their tech support claims the tap wasn't compatible and they don't know why it worked
I had 2g for those 4 days
I'm always on wifi but noticed my data wasn't working so not an ideal switch but if you are in a bind it does work. I'm still running at&t network on this Verizon motherboard just fine

I don't know what happened but all inbound calls on day 4 went direct to voicemail. I reset phone, flashed different ROM.... Nothing
I've got a Verizon HTC M8 running DigitalHigh GPE 5.0.1 12/21 build, stock kernel.
I've had 4g issues with the phone since the first time I ever flashed away from stock. And the whole RUU back to stock and factory reset thing has never worked for me. The phone simply refuses to stay connected to 4G...
The first time I had the issue and I couldn't resolve it I called Verizon. Was sent through to tech support, who "opened a ticket" and told me I would hear from them once it was resolved. Never heard from them, but the issue did go away on it's own and the phone connected to LTE once more on its own. I was running BoneStock ROM at the time (this was back in August 2014).
Fast forward to November and I decide to switch to GPE and I start seeing 4G issues again. My phone would connect to LTE at first boot but once my Sim "activated" it would only connect to 3G from there out. I tried everything to get it back. I did RUU back to stock and factory reset, I flashed new radios, etc...
Finally I activated a new SIM that I had laying around and BAM! LTE service again.
... For a few days. And then back to 3G only.
I used an app called 4G switcher to force my phone to connect to a 4G signal and when I did that it showed that I was roaming... So I would dial *226 and update my roaming list and it would no longer say I'm roaming and would say I'm connected to LTE... For about 10 minutes and then back to 3G only.
I went to the Verizon. Wireless store today and they gave me a new sim and told me to call prepay customer service to see if I can get a warranty replacement. The new SIM instantly connected to LTE and has been connected for almost 6 hours now.
Is there something wrong with my phone that it keeps frying the SIM or could there be an issue with my account on Verizon's end, maybe something telling it to reprogram my SIM to not connect to 4g?
I have used my phone overseas for a month with a European SIM and a service that was only 3G, not sure if that would be relevant at all.
I'm fairly sure your problems aren't on Verizon's side. From reading over the thread, the GPE ROM certainly appears to cause some folks issues regarding LTE service. GPE wasn't designed to run on Verizon. It might be a good idea to stick with something built from a Verizon ROM.
Its a Lollipop thing. Happens on gpe, and Aosp 5.0 ROMs. Just wait till official gets out and they should figure out a fix.
So I don't know what I was thinking, but last week while on the T-Mobile test run I tried to use the T-Mobile iPhone sim in my m8. I also tried using the VZW sim in the T-Mobile iPhone. Nothing worked. This isn't the problem.
After putting the VZW sim back in my m8, I no longer got 4G and my data connection kept dropping. This Sunday I spend 2 hours at the Verizon store trying to get them to resolve the issue. The idiot at the Verizon store tried to resolve the issue for over an hour using the original sim. After me begging him to stop wasting time and just replace the sim, the issue is still not resolved.
When he originally checked my phone in the database it was coming up as something like "Unknown device" which I'm assuming was caused by placing my sim in the T-Mobile iPhone. After replacing the sim, the IMEI and everything else seemed to be matching according to the guys at Verizon, but I still don't have 4G and data keeps dropping..
Any ideas?
I'm running a GPE rom so I'm wondering if I have to go back to stock to resolve this issue...
Probably need to flash stock recovery and do a factory reset from it. Might not need to fully flash back.
I had this same issue. I would love to fix it but I moved to a OnePlus One on T-Mo. I'd love to get this resolved though.
