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!
I have tried everything in the world to get my wife's Thunderbolt on par with mine. Out of the box, mine has worked like a champ, while she's on her 2nd phone. (Bad power button and 0-1 bars constantly.) Anyway, after getting home and looking at her replacement phone, I noticed the same issue, 0-1 bars. I thought to myself that there has to be more to this. I put her phone next to mine and I had 3-4 bars, while she had her usual 0-1 bars (74% time without a signal.) I thought to check the phones info under settings and bam, I found my problem. Software and everything was exactly the same, except our PRL's. Mine is 13004 and hers is 15008. So I immediately jumped online and Googled how to updated the PRL on the Thunderbolt. Apparently the PRL files are stored on the 4G sim card, and since *228 no longer works on our phones, the only option to get a different PRL is to get a new sim card. I checked the sim card that came with her phone and the date reads.....102810. I then checked the date on my sim card and it read....020411. So I will be going to Verizon tomorrow morning and requesting a sim that was made on or at least near the date that mine was produced and hopefully this will fix our problem. I will update this thread once I know for sure. So if you did this and it helped, please feel free to post your results. Also, when we swapped the phones out, we didn't get a new sim card since each card is tied to that specific number. The rep just put the old sim and sdcard in the new phone incase anyone was wondering. Hope this helps.
Update: Just left my Verizon store and as of right now, I didn't have to swap out my sim card. The rep checked and he said it showed that my wife's phone was under the regular nationwide network, while my phone was under the hybrid network.(Whatever that is.) So he sent out an network update to my wife's phone that should bring hers on par with mine. He told me not to turn off my phone because it may take a couple of hours to push through, but once it does, our prls or signal strength in our area should be the same. Once the update pushes through, I'll post the results.
Update to the update: After letting the phone stay on for 8 hours, got home, pulled the sim and battery out for 30 seconds, popped them back in and bam!!!!!! 3-4 bars of constant signal strength. Didn't have to change the sim card, but the PRL number did change from 15008 to 13006. (Which 13xxx means you're on the Hybrid Network.) If you're have a low to bad network signal, I would highly suggest you call Verizon or go into a store and have them make sure you're on the Hybrid network and not the Regular Nationwide Network. Have them send an PRL update/upgrade to your line and see if it helps. Worked like a miracle for my wife's phone.
I was having the same problem as your wife. Called Verizon so many times wasting my time talking to tech support getting no help. Then miraculously called one more time and the girl fixed it. No idea how though haha. I wouldn't be surprised if her problem has to do with her sim though.

I wonder if they can manually push the prl ota now..it wouldnt hurt to ask that too.
would love to hear an update to this, as my prl is 15008.
might bother the verizon rep at work about it see if they know anything.
At my house I usually have 1-2 bars, and i always thought it was because of coverage not being great here. If it is just a prl issue, hopefully we can get a fix!

From the looks of it there is possibly two prl and the 'older' prl isnt updating. Lets see i guess...
mine is 15008 and ive had no problems :S
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Why am I not hearing any 13004 prls. Am I a rare case? Also, this might be device and area specific,but that 15008 is horrible in my area while my 13004 allows me to keep a constant 3-4 bars everywhere I go.
My prl is 15011 and have e bars of 3g in most places
Again they auto update with reboot. SO REBOOT YOUR PHONE IF YOU HAVE COVERAGE ISSUES!
And you don't need to EVER SWAP A SIM CARD ONCE IT HAS BEEN PROVISIONED EVER! Like all other GSM technologies the PRL with eHRPD (Verizon's CDMA LTE version) is AUTO PUSH being it's UPDATED AUTOMATICALLY. YOU DON"T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT EVER!
The LTE PRL versions are DIFFERENT than the CDMA phone series. There is no uniform number because they are updated at different times with the IMSI on the SIM card.
Also the signal meter on the Thunderbolt I was told that is mainly for VOICE! You can have EXCELLENT DATA on LTE with even 1-bar of signal.

Yes, that's what I'm writing about, voice service. And no, its not auto updating. Even after a battery and sim card pull for 30 seconds, its the same PRL number with the same signal problems. Average of -104 - 107dbs, which shows 70%+ time without a signal. She drop calls and her voice calls are in and out. This is her second phone, with the same signal results. So its not the phone and its not auto updating to the towers nearest to our house.

After reading this thread, I checked out my PRL version. For some reason, I have never received a PRL update. My PRL version was 1. I have rebooted my phone several times, along with battery pulls, for the past week yet no update was received. I ended up using the method mentioned over at Android Central (h ttp://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-thunderbolt/72724-problems-3g-data-dont-hard-reset-read-first.html) to put my phone back to RevA for data. I rebooted and still no new PRL. I put it back to eHRPD and rebooted. I then received a new PRL, version 15008. I don't know if it has made a difference with my coverage because I just made the change. I just figured I would mention I had to do some trickery to get my Thunderbolt to pull down a new PRL.
Thanks mispes1 for that info on what you did. I found this thread because of my Signal being weird. I just got my Thunderbolt activated yesterday and my prl was also 1. Used that thread and rebooted a few times, and after switching back my PRL finally updated. I'll have to see if this helps. It's nice to know how to switch to normal 3g network as well for when I'm having trouble with the hybrid one. Also my PRL is 15011.
Just checked, and mine is 13004...I wonder if this chagnes based on if you are in a LTE network area or not
I am have 15008 and my connection is terrible. I have done battery pulls, everything trying to get my PRL to update, might call verizon at some point and ask about it. I see people with these 13000 something PRLs talking about great coverage. I am at -86DB and my connection to 4G goes in and out all the time.
15008 as well here, but I haven't really had too many issues, the only times i've had issues is going inside large buildings around the 4G edge. Though my speeds haven't been too impressive (Fastest I've seen is 8Mbps on 4G), though I don't know if a PRL will fix that.

I must have had a different PRL before i rooted, cause I was doing 20-30 consistently down, and then I rooted my phone and now I get 6-7 consistently.
I have the same problem pulling down PRL updates. I realized the other day that my version was 1. To get mine to update I had to use the ##778# trick and put the modem into Rev A, reboot, then back into eHRPD, reboot again and then it pulled down a new PRL. The funny thing is that I have jumped between 1 and 15008 at least twice in the last 24 hours and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why.
Give this a shot though to see if you can get a new PRL. Also, I believe the most recent version is 15011. My friend got his t-bolt today and that was his version out of the box.

The signal strength so far in my Nexus S 4g has been horrible!!! Constant wimax drop-offs and many times it stuck between the 3g/4g icons....I've used this method on my Evo and Epic and both worked perfectly but now I'm a Nexus S owner and want to do the same thing. The issue I'm having is on the Nexus once I'm into the data programming area I can't find were to edit the Wimax settings. Maybe someone out there can help me with this????
There has got to be a way to adjust the signal strength like you can do on the epic & evo?????
Thanks in advance
how did u get into the menu when i try that ##data# it doesnt do anything. i know *#*#4636#*#* works but u cant really edit anything.

*#*#3282#*#* will get you into the view & edit modes but for some reason I can't edit wimax
Yep, they **** blocked wimax editing so you can't edit the signal strength required to keep a connection.

I like the phone but thats a deal breaker seriously this phone is going back. No point in having a nice phone if it can't stay connected with a great signal.
I really didn't think i had this issue til yesterday. Where i used to have a bar of 3G with my my epic, i now have a bar or 2 1x with my NS4G. I used to have 1 bar 4G at work with my Epic, now I can't get it to connect from sitting at my desk.
IMPORTANT HERE: My phone died at 6pm yesterday, i left it off and charged it til 8pm. WELL, my boss sent me a text message during those 2 hours telling me to come into work today a couple hours early... never got the message when i turned my phone back on (and i came in late for work today). When my boss didn't believe me, i turned my phone off, had him send me a text, waited a couple mins then turned my phone back on, and what do ya know, didn't get the message. This is a problem, cuz with my Epic I would recieve any messages sent to me when i turned my phone back on.
I really hope these are radio issues that will be released in an update near in the future.
I know we have 30days or something to return our phones, but I'm gunna hold out, i have faith there will be an update coming fixing some of these quirks.

I'm thinking the same thing I'm going to hold out until google updates the radio which I hope is soon. I really wish they hadn't blocked editing the wimax settings boosting the wimax signal really helped on my evo
Update Profile and PRL
Where are you using the phone???? But anyways you can do a update data profile and update PRL. Then you will be able to get closer attena signal....
Hi,
To be clear: Internet is not the app, not over Wifi but over 4G/3G/H etc..
I got my sensation 3 days now and there seems to be a issue with the internet connection.
Mine keeps requesting data but it doesnt get any data back.
Apps like internet browser sometimes work and sometimes they dont (loading google), the weather app says there is no internet connection and manage to sometimes get the actual weather.
I tried restarting it serval times but no success..
Internet does work on my HTC Hero.
Edit:
Found the problem, had to enable data roaming..
Odd thing that it works sometimes without roaming tho..
4G internet issues
I am having the same problem with my internet, though enabling data roaming did not correct my problem. Internet and web based apps work fine over WIFI, but will randomly work over 4G. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

I get a severe lag now and then when connected to 4G - seems to take a while for the connection to initiate. I've tried the "fix" posted in another thread, but that only seemed to resolve the issue temporarily.
It seems like location may have something to do with it as well. The tower closest to my home is where I experience the most issues. Though my G2X or my fiance's vibrant work without any issues.

That could contribute to my issue. I seem to live near a cell dead zone.
Theres a few threads open on this issue. There doesnt seem to be a permanent fix yet, but it is extremely annoying.
Same here, my connection would send data but winter recieve sometimes. Kinda annoying. Hopefully, htc addresses this problem soon.

Same issue - across multiple handsets
Hi, it's been a while since I posted in XDA but this issue has been a regular one with my T-mobile service, across multiple devices. I have searched far and wide for anyone else seeing this exact problem, and finally here you are. I hope this helps other users:
1) Purchased the original myTouch 3G; approx 1 year with zero connectivity issues. Loved it, exceptional for its time.
2) Purchased (upgrade) myTouch 3G Slide at launch. Following 3-5 months saw This issue with outgoing data, but no incoming response. 60/40 the internet would respond or not in any application (web, streaming, podcasts), it was a real crapshoot. Assumed the problem was isolated and performed a few master resets. Zero apps installed and continued to see the same issue. Decided it was either software or radio related and called T-mo for advice. They suggested a replacement unit after standard troubleshooting (re-seat SIM, master reset, check that you have substantial signal).
3) New MT3G Slide, same outcome. Called back. Finally received a reasonable suggestion: get a new (free) SIM from T-mo as the one I currently had was slightly older. Was sure this was the issue as the rep sounded very confident when I explained the situation. Received new SIM!
4) No change, issue persisted. Following day called T-mo and had a 'ticket' escalated to engineering dept. Was assured I would receive a call from eng. dept, but no such luck. Bothered by this whole mess and lacking in answers from T-mo, I sold the Slide and upgraded to the G2X.
5) The issue once again reared its head! If the stars were aligned and I did get In/Out data, it was 11KB/s (90kbps) tops. Ex: 5MB podcast would take 0.5-1.5 min (30-90 sec) to download prior to issue, now 10-15 min. This was with no apps installed, 4 bars of signal, 4G status icon, across multiple geographical locations, and fingers on both hands crossed. It was about this time I suspected that somehow T-mo's network was throttling my account. But, I had never used more than 1GB in a month, and they assured me I was not being throttled. A serious WTF was had
6) Realizing there were bigger problems in the world and finally at wit's end, I returned the G2X and am waiting patiently for my contract to expire in July, while using an old Nokia candybar in the meantime for calls and text only.
7) July: move to new carrier or stay with T-mo (if we can figure out what this issue is). 8 year customer, need internet on a smartphone though.

I am having the same issue, and have gone through the same steps. New Sensation (exchnaged mine twice now) followed by new SIM, tried the *fix* posted, turned on data roaming, and still nothing. I have talked to Tmo several times, and they are supposed to be checking the towers in my area, an engineer is supposed to contact me in up to 72 hours. The Evo 3D comes out before my 14 day return period, so I may just jump ship if this problem persists. Hoping to find a fix though, as this phone is amazing when it's on Wifi
So my phone has terrible signal now ever since I got home from college. I remember it was sorta spotty where I lived but never this bad... I have around 40% time without a signal! It's so bad I can't even text... My messages just don't send half the time. I got a new Sim card only a couple months ago so I feel like replacing that won't help.
I checked my mother's phone and she has the same prl version which is 15287.
Her mobile network type is is set to global and on the status page displays: cdma - even Rev. A, while mine on the same settings displays just LTE for the network type.
I keep bouncing back and forth between global and LTE/CDMA the past couple months, im just going to leave it at global and see if it gets better here... Any sure way to load all the defaults?
I feel like my phone is just getting too old, I've got my upgrade in August but do you guys have any suggestions on how to make my signal better? Also what is the default network type for Verizon I thought (was told in the past) it was LTE/CDMA but when I checked my mother's phone it was set to global?!

I've been having recent issues in my area too. Seems to have started when my PRL was updated (15310) or potentially it is my sim (which I also replaced recently).
In any case, this is what I did to try and resolve it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52718533&postcount=6
It now switches correctly to 3G when there is a 4G signal. However, you SMS messages should send regardless of whether or not you have a 3 or 4G signal. MMS will be an issue though. As far as whether it is on Global or LTE, it won't make a difference in reception. You'll have better battery life on LTE/CDMA than on global as there is no need to have the GSM radios active if you aren't using them.

It now switches correctly to 3G when there is a 4G signal. However, you SMS messages should send regardless of whether or not you have a 3 or 4G signal. MMS will be an issue though. As far as whether it is on Global or LTE, it won't make a difference in reception. You'll have better battery life on LTE/CDMA than on global as there is no need to have the GSM radios active if you aren't using them.

Hmmm thanks for the information! It seems like that could be what is happening to me. But weird enough typing *#97328640# in the dialer doesn't work?! It just says call could not be completed!
I hope this problem doesn't carry over when I get a new Sim / phone.
Also is disabling -eHRPD a wise thing to do? Also I left my phone on global and it moves to -eHRPD and I have good signal but my texts still arent sending for some reason but then it switches to CDMA 1xRTT and thats when im able to send texts but constanlty switches to Unknown/ no service and then after no serviece for a but back to -eHRPD?
