So I was playing around trying to delete widgets and one of them took out my 4g/3g connection. The icon is stuck in 1x, and I can't find any setting to change it back.
dail *#*#4636#*#* . This will take you to the network settings. select phone information. And then scroll down to set preferred network type.
I did that, set it to both LTE mode as well as CDMA+LTE/Evdo, but then even when rebooting to toggle it, it shows Network Type as CDMA - 1xRTT
I'm seeing other threads with people having issues with being stuck in 1x, so maybe its just not me, and I disconnected and just happened to not get it back
I am having this issue as well. Rooted last night. In the process of removing system apps removed something I shouldnt have. Went to flash my back up created by Rom Man only to find out it wasnt made, fail, so i flashed the custom rom by Chingy. Since flashing the rom I only have 1X service no matter what I set the phone to on the toggle.
its not just you bro ive been having 3g and 4g problems all morning. I am in queens NY...if they dont get this fix before the 14 days I am returning this phone and going back to t-mobile
I had thus problem. Just turn airplane mode on for a minute, then turn it off and you should get 3g again.

I'm not even rooted, and I began experiencing this issue this morning after having my phone off and plugged in last night.
EDIT: I tested the above fix, and it didn't work for me. Every time the phone tries to turn 3g on it will appear in the status bar for a split second and then everything turns off, even 1x. weird.
It's a network problem on verizon's end. I'm in Cincinnati and data is not working at all.
I am getting this too - according to tech support, there is a problem with the 4G network right now - however why it doesn't fall back to 3G I don't know (unless there is a problem with that too).
I too am in New York, so it might be localized to NYC - They even tried resetting something on my VZ profile.
I'm still on the call as we speak, but I get the feeling given the number of people reporting this, it is a VZ problem.

It's definitely not just a localized problem. I'm all the way out in Utah (no 4g service here yet) and the 3g is completely jacked.
Yup confirmed with tech support, there's a nationwide outage with 4g data and they are working it with the highest priority, the tech said. Ah the costs of new technology. Always will have issues at start.
Same thing here, Pensacola, FL. Just went out on my drive to work today, now it's 1x across the board for me and the gf...she has an incredible and I have the tbolt...
Add me to the list. Been on the phone with tech support for 52 minutes and counting. I'm on hold right now and thought I would check xda. Stuck in 1x if I even have anything. I am about 35 miles south of Pittsburgh, PA. Phone is completely stock and worked perfect yesterday. Also, the tech said DO NOT dial *228 from the Thunderbolt. I didn't, but he said for future referece it will force the phone to use only 1x and 3g. Nice to know lol they didn't say that crap when I bought it. At least their tech support guys are super friendly.
Weird. Im in Akron Ohio and have full bars 4G. Just did speed test and getting 15Mbps down 20 up. Downloaded app off market just to be sure and downloaded without a hitch. This must not be affecting whole nation. (Yes my Wi-Fi is off lol)
Just got off the phone with VZ Tech support. He said there is not an acknowledge problem with the 3G network right now (unlike the 4G), but he's sure that soon there probably will be.
He could not use my phone as an example case (to raise the trouble ticket) because I was unwilling to perform the last step in the troubleshooting process (reflashing the phone) - but I'm sure there will be others willing to do that and this will become a known issue soon enough.
Worst part is, even my 1X support keeps going in and out - probably because the 1X network in NYC is overloaded, because all those users usually on 3G are all on 1X now, and killing it
Confirmed here, too...all 1x, must be a nationwide 3g issue
Same here south of Chicago. Guess I won't even bother calling about it. Thanks for the info.
This is definitely a widespread issue... I am in Miami and I can't even gey 3G here... I am only getting 1X.. The weird thing is, my friend has a Thunderbolt too and she seems to ne getting 3G fine.... If anyone receives any worse from Verizon, please post ASAP!!!
Yup im located in Manhattan New York having the same exact problem since 8:30am today No 4G or 3G i hope they get it fixed Soon Let's Go Verizon!
So I am currently running bamf 1.6.3 and I change kernals a lot, but one thing I can't seem to fix are the data drops. I live in raleigh, so no LTE, and am running the .7 cdma / .6 LTE radio combo. The data drops off a lot, more noticeable when changing towers. Even sitting at home with good signal it will just drop to 1x and is hard to get 3g back without a reboot. Anybody else see this? No reboot problems
So am I the only one with this issue??
Mine drops 3g and 4g for a second or two and then comes back. It has been happening a lot recently.
At one point in time I would have that happen, it was because of a local tower being screwed up. Maybe switch from eHRPD to the standard 3g network? or vice versa?
Had the same issue with 1.6.3 and went back to 1.6.1 and Im fine again. Ill wait for another version before updating again
Having this same problem but I'm on stock and it only happens while I'm on 3G....nothing but problem since I got this phone....did Verizon and HTC test this phone out? Gps problems,reboot problems,data problems,battery...I'm really sorry I left my carrier for this phone.

the NEW 4g network is going to take some time to get running properly and because of that will have issues as will the phones. Not everything works flawlessly off the bat, give time to get everything settled and figured out and it will get perfected.
With all the radio/prl updates they have been doing I wouldnt be suprised if it is caused from that.
I was having the same problem. Disabling eHRPD has seemed to fix it. I still see strange signal drops, but I'm not seeing data drops at all.
It's not a fix, but rather than rebooting, just turn on airplane mode, wait for the airplane icon to appear, and then disable airplane mode. I have the same issue you describe, so I just keep the airplane mode toggle widget on my second home screen panel.
I'm getting very frustrated with the inconsistent data connection on this phone. I halfway considered trying to get VZW to let me swap it for the Droid X 2 when it releases next week.
I have similar problem. I live in Northern CA with 4G coverage. The problem will be like this:
- 4G works OK, data works
- Moments later, 4G icon shown upload activity (arrow up sign)
- Shortly afterwards, no data. Mail, Google Maps, etc. failed
Fix is to turn Airplane mode OR REBOOT the phone. I have tried switching radio mode (using LTE ON/OFF) but to no avail.
I understand 4G is new and so is the phone, but c'mon.. it has been sometime now and we are STILL paying for the service, even when the 4G network is down (few weeks ago) or when the phone loses data.
This happens to me on stock. Will be using 4G and then all data drops, then comes back, then drops, then comes back and repeats the cycle. Rebooting, airplane mode, nothing helps. Eventually it goes back to normal.
My phone went wacky yesterday. 1x and no data for four hours. Spent an hour on the phone with Verizon tech. We did everything possible and nothing. Then it just fixed itself. Had someone with a Droid X in the same room as me with great EV signal. Now the phone is perfect again. I dont get it . I have enabled REV A and now I put it back and that didnt matter.

Mine as well on 1.6.3 bamf remix. i had to keep going in airplane mode. it was stuck on no service or even the 4g icon (not blinking and no service)
We are Guenna pigs....
Since i have gone to the new leaked gingerbread radio not the latest froyo radio but the new gingerbread i dont have data drops
get it here http://www.multiupload.com/KQCRTNALV9
I too had continual problems with data yesterday (on BAMF 1.6.3) in San Diego. Kept switching from 4G/3G/1x. Today seems to be running smooth.
I'm gonna say thank god I'm not the only one, I don't live in a 4g area, yet there's many times my 3g will do the same arrow thing showing up and than everything fails. I'm running the new radio and perfect storm 1.4

When I'm on data, my phone is stuck on EDGE or GPRS when it should go up to 3G or H+. I've tried restarting my phone, turning wifi on and off, turning data on and off and made sure my settings looked okay. Any help is appreciated!
Cataclysm 11/26, Franco r14, dalvik patch. And if it's relevant, I'm on Rogers wireless.
I'm not sure but doesn't Rogers use global frequency in which case you need the 821 model?
I've definitely had 3G and H+ on my N5 (abbreviations much?), but it just seems very inconsistent. It'll go from H+ to 3G, back to H+, then cut out completely, then sit on E or G for a while. Just trying to pinpoint the issue because it's getting annoying haha. Perhaps it's the frequency that's screwing it up but that's definitely not my area of expertise. I do have the D820 model if that's helpful.
I'm having exactly the same problem with Fido right now, I tried pretty much everything including
- flashing back the factory image
- tried every modems from the xda thread in the Nexus 5 Android Development section (currently my phone is on the D821 modem but it didn't change anything)
- changing my apn (but it was obvious that this was not the problem since the phone had a edge connection.
I'm really about to call Fido...
Still, I'm kinda glad to see that i'm not alone.
maybe that the data service in your personal area?
Well going back and forth between 3G and H is normal. It picks up H/H+ when receiving/transmitting and goes to 3G when idle to save power.

I called Fido, the technical support told me that they had something that was blocking me from 3G (but he didn't tell me what it was, he just told me that something was blocking me...) I had my beloved H+ back for maybe a whole minute and then it just switched back to Edge network.
All I wanted to know was if many customers have reported the problem or if I were alone...
Maybe if I'm lucky my phone will get back its 3G soon just like you.
I'm still having the issue today.
I called back Fido and they tried different things like desactiving/activing back my line, "updating my line" and more without any success.
Then I called google and told them the problem. They will change my Nexus 5 for a brand new but at the same time I feel like it is a software issue and not an hardward one... Well, we'll see, I never had a problem like that with any other phone before and the Nexus 5 never had any problem with 3G before yesterday.
I haven't tried everything yet, maybe you could try :
If you are in a LTE area, can the Nexus 5 connect itself to this network? Nearest LTE area from where I live is like 40 minutes away, bit too far just for a test.
Try with a sim card from another company like Telus or Bell, is the phone connecting to the 3G network? (I though about this while calling Google..)
Well, hope that the next phone will be ok.
Here are the few pictures just to show you a proof that even when I request a webpage, the phone will stays on 2g only.

Thanks for the update mark1s. Definitely let me know if a new phone fixes anything, although I'm also thinking it's a software problem.
The problem could just be that there happens to be patches of low coverage in the areas we're testing this out, which seems unlikely in big cities. But testing at work seems to have this problem, but testing this at home I pick up 3G and H+ just fine. Odd..
Just got my Shield LTE today. This is my first tablet ever as well as my first unlocked device ever so I've never really had to mess with APN settings before. Long story short, I can connect and get HSPA+ ok but the speeds suck and no LTE at all. My Galaxy S5 can pick up LTE fine and get around 50Mbps down, but the Shield gets only about 5 down on HSPA+. When I search for network operators, my only choices are T-Mobile (2G/3G) and AT&T (2G/3G/4G). Any ideas as to why it can't find T-Mobile LTE network?
Does your phone work with LTE in the same spot? I got my tablet yesterday and moved the TMO SIM from by iPad to the Shield. Got LTE right away without doing anything with APNs. Depending on where you are, TMO LTE coverage is spotty.
Yes. My Galaxy S5 gets about 3 bars on LTE while sitting right next to my tablet that only has 2 bars on 3G. Just got off the phone with T-Mobile and they said they could see me connect to the LTE network and I did see LTE come up on the Shield for a moment but then it almost immediately dropped back HSPA+. I think its an issue with the tablet itself. I'm on hold with Nvidia now.
I'm still trying to get my Shield LTE activated on T-Mobile for the 200 MB free data for life deal. T-Mobile told me that their system saw the Shield's IMEI as a phone, not a tablet, and to bring it into a store so they can see that it is indeed a tablet.
The APN Settings came down by default for me and appeared correct with what I've searched online, but I'm having the same issue where I'm not getting LTE here in the PHX market, in all the places my phone gets full healthy LTE.
I don't want to complain about my H+ signal, but it's just not cutting the mustard if you will.
You find/hear anything useful here Hoju?
I'm seeing the same issue With LTE/Tmobile alsnly HSPA+
I've been in contact with Nvidia support since last week and they have had me send them numorous diagnostic files and bug reports. From what I can tell, the Shield is using NVIDIA
's Icera i500 modem which can be thoroughly tweaked through software updates. I'm hoping this issue can be resolved with such an update. Nvidia level 2 support told me that I was the first case of this reported, so I urge everyone suffering from this issue to contact support so they can see that the problem is not an isolated incident. I'm hoping to hear back from them today regarding this. I will update the thread when I do.
T-Mobile setup my imei number as an iPad to activate sim and didn't give me the pin, called T-Mobile and got it fixed, the pin turned out to be 1234, once he fixed the imei and changed pin, internet started working well and LTE is working as well. Also logged into T-Mobile.com/connectme I'm not sure if that's required but that's where you can buy more data. Hope that helps someone
Hi there, T-Mobile retail dealer here. I've tried 4 different T-Mobile sim cards (2 $50 simple choice plans, 2 $70 simple choice plans) along with 4 of their MVNO's sim cards (Univision Mobile, Straight Talk, Ultra Mobile, Lyca Mobile) and they all had LTE.
With all of the T-Mobile sim cards, the standard APN that's loaded in (fast.t-mobile.com) works perfectly for me.
For the MVNOs, using their respective APNs allowed for LTE, while using "fast.t-mobile.com" on those services only gave me HSPA+
I'm also located right outside of Philadelphia. Not really a populous area but we have good coverage with T-Mobile around here.
Hope this helped.
I also just added ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0 to my build.prop, result so far is stable connection on h+. Without that it was flipping between 3g and h+ constantly and connection was unstable. ive been streaming music and it did change back to 3g, but not back and fourth like before, ill keep an eye on it.
maybe i spoke to soon, i still see it switching. Ill update after some more testing if this did anything or not for me.

Not really, guess it was a placebo effect at first and just happened to stay on h+ for a while. from what i have read over the last few days is that on t-mobile's network it switches to 3g to save battery. I just removed the line i added, streaming music right now and just got a drop out. If someone knows or comes up with a way to force it on h+ I would happy, i could care less about battery savings if i just have this thing on my desk plugged in all day.
I got some time today, going to try staying off of wifi all day and see how it acts, might try a couple things if i can find some other options to test. if i find something ill let ya know.

Thanks for the response. I ended up exchanging mine with a new one that I just received last night. Right now I'm still testing and hopeful it will shape up, mine would drop from H+ to Edge, I do get LTE from time to time but it's very sparse. So far the replacement is doing well but i'm more and more convinced this is a radio issue as the tablet was really certified on AT&T. I've filed a ticket on my old one with Nvidia, no eta on a fix. Anyone that's seeing this go through nvidia support and file a ticket. Hopefully they can get it fixed in the next OTA.
I, too, only get H+ signal from TMO on my Shield. While it's normally fast, it sometimes drops and goes to E(DGE) or none at all.
EDIT: TMO could find nothing on their end via online chat. I'm going to test the SIM in another LTE device, and see if its a SIM issue. Waiting to hear back from NVIDIA. Really hoping our coming-soon 5.0 update fixes this!
EDIT 2: I just heard back from them that the TMO issue is an open bug "and will be fixed in a future update".
shield vs lte?
Yours at least connects, mine wont even do that I probably go to local branch again tomorrow if things wont change by the morning. I hope it works, but i cant activate the sim. Shield recognizes the card, under connections it says T-mobile but every time i turn off WiFi and try to activate the sim via cellular data, it keep telling me theres no connection yet i have 2 bars of their signal
So this means that I could but the 30 dollar a month plan? 5GB data, 100 minutes and unlimited texts?
Did anyone that was having a problem with LTE ever get it resolved? I just picked up the LTE version of the Shield tablet and have yet to see LTE and my phone is getting it fine. I hope a solution was found.

Yep, I'd be interested as well. I got that tablet since a few months and have problems with the radio too. I'm running LingeageOS 14.1. The latest few builds didn't even find the sim card anymore. Today I got back to stock rom for testing. Sim card is there, but it loses the radio connection every few seconds.
---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------
I just tried T-Mobile: works like a charm. It seems like Vodafone is causing the trouble. I've tried two different SIM cards and have the problem with both. Country: Germany.

What LTE band is your phone connecting to? I'm assuming you are T-Mobile? If you're in a band 12 area you might be out of luch as the North American version supports bands 2, 4, 5, 17, 7.
I am on T-Mobile since April and everything has been fine except the known LTE handoff issue, I just keep the phone in UMTS always.
The night of Oct 28th I received an OTA (not a system update) and I guess it changed radio settings or updated the firmware. Ever since, NOTHING I do will get the phone to pick up ANY data signal on T-Mobile. Did Verizon decide to block the Maxx from use on other networks???
On wifi everything is fine, but I get no GSM data, no Edge, no 3G, no HSPA and no LTE. I can't receive any media text messages either.
Can anyone tell me what the hell happened?

Try a factory reset, and reset your APN to default, and re-enter the settings. As I stated in the other thread you posted in, update is working great for me, and Verizon can't lock the Maxx/Ultra/M to their network as part of the FCC's Block C agreement.

Ok, I did the factory data reset and and it's still the same.
One strange thing I noticed is that it will say 3G or 4GLTE in the status bar right next to the signal strength, but it's grayed out, and only present when wifi is turned on. As soon as I turn wifi off, the 3G or 4G logo disappears instantly.
It did this both before and after the reset. regardless, when I'm not on wifi I have ZERO access to data networks.
Phone worked great on tuesday, and now it's pretty much useless after Verizon update. How can I roll back to the previous firmware ?
you could try replacing the radio from previous version.

I have a droid maxx on t mobile and i have had no problem using H+ instead of LTE for txting and data here in chicago...
but last night i accepted the XLTE (1FF-obake_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU5-23-release-keys.xml.zip) OTA and quickly realized that t mobile data no longer worked. I tried to revert back using RSD lite but that failed due to downgrade protection...i was thinking i would have to just flash a 4.4.4 gummyrom over stock and move on but then i remembered i had an old twrp backup of 1FF-obake_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU4.21-release-keys.xml.zip from earlier in september
you must have an unlocked bootloader and twrp installed to restore the backup but the restore was successful and bypassed the downgrade protection...gsm carrier data was once again working...
i will post a link to my twrp backup once it finishes uploading...and if anyone else has a 1FF-obake_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU4.21 stock twrp backup they could share that would also be a huge help
ps.youre only chance to unlock your bootloader is sunshine or stumproot or another on of jcases masterpieces if it wasnt already patched by this last XLTE update

Go inside the Droid Ultra Original Android Development and look for thread with [Radio] in the title. The latest that comes with VoLTE update was posted by CrazyRussianXDA (this is the one inside your phone now), previous versions were by Topsnake. Create a folder called fastboot and extract the files there. You must download the fastboot tool here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790, install it into the same fastboot folder. Just follow the simple steps and yes it is possible to do it on stock non-developer version. Just for precaution, do not copy and paste the command, type them in.
So I haven't changed a thing on the phone. This morning I re-entered the SAME APN info yet again with no luck.
Today around noon, while driving my phone suddenly starts getting emails and now seems to be working fine. Even the LTE handoff issue on T-Mobile seems to be gone.
I have no clue. . . but it works now!
I GREATLY appreciate everyone's help on this matter! Maybe an issue to watch out for in coming weeks ?

seandean41...Are you saying that your phone is not having any issues with T-mobile now? Like it fixed the LTE handoff issue?

Yea I have it set to automatically select network now and it's sitting on my desk in LTE mode, yet I can pick up the phone and make a call no problem.
It used to always drop the first call and then if you redialed while it was in HSPA it would make the call.
Texting working fine too.
T-mobile had told me that they were having some data issues in my area, so I wonder if being halfway across the county today at lunch did something. The original problem was definitely something with the phone because if wifi was turned off, it wouldn't even display a G, E, 3G, or 4G logo. And with wifi on, the logo was grayed out and totally nonfunctional.
but maybe talking to another tower did something with the radio. . . . . . no idea really. Shooting in the dark here!

I just applied the upgrade. Ultra on T-Mobile. I have no data anymore. I can't even pull up a web page. I am able to call and text no problem. The strange thing is at the beginning of October I moved from Verizon to T-Mobile. Verizon sent me the Android upgrade. Hopefully this will resolve itself over time. I've tried rebooting the phone a couple of times and messing with the mobile settings...but nothing. Phone info app shows me it's registered to T-Mobile and the Signal Strength is around -110dBm. It shows me GSM Service as "In service" and the GPRS Service as "Connecting", Network type LTE, GSM disconnects:==========DATA========
(UPDATE) I called t-mobile support and they were excellent. Short and to the point they stepped me through adding the APN info, and data is now working again. Prior to the upgrade it was working without any APN info. The old problems I was having with SMS messages not being sent, and having to redial 2 or 3 times to place a call are gone. My Verizon Droid Ultra is now working perfectly on T-mobile. Just ran a speedtest on 2-3 bars with 4GLTE and I got 13Mbs down and 8Mbs up
