LTE issues (no LTE after Phone Info) - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Well to save battery I ran across a post on Droid Life about an app turns off LTE since we don't have a setting for that. The app is called Phone Info. I was able to switch it to 3G but now I can't get LTE back. I tried to select "LTE/CDMA/EVDO" but it doesn't stick. It keeps going back to "CDMA Auto (PRL). I tried rebooting and even wiping the phone but nothing. Any help guys?

I'm on Beans n have no themes. I tried flashing Synergy but still the same issue. I'm thinking I need to Odin back to stock but I kinda don't want to since I bought this phone used and it came rooted already. I have very little knowledge on Odin :/

In the phone info, switch it, then select turn radio off, then turn it back on. Has worked for me in the past.

It's been discussed around here pretty extensively but it's an issue with Bean's rom (mb synergy too, I don't know) but once it is switch off lte/cdma/evdo you can't switch it back .
When it happened to me, the only thing that fixed it was nandroiding back to my stock/rooted rom, changing it and then reflashing beans and leaving everything alone.

I just did this today and just switched back to lte with no issues whatsoever it went straight to 4g.

The other night simply I opened this app and lost all data on beans b6...It was as if the app glitched because the screen glitched and bam, data/voice was gone... so I went to device info and the app automatically changed my device to wcdma preferred wtf? I got 3g back by switching to cdma, but still no LTE even after switching to lte/cdma/evdo...
So I ended up having to reprovision my device by dialing: *2767*3855#
This will wipe data so have a nandroid ready, but it should restore LTE...atleast it did for me.

On Beans? It works on stock, but hasn't worked on Beans. mb it got fixed in B7 though.

Similar issue here. I flashed CM10 last night. My 4g worked for about 10 minutes, but it dropped 2 times within 5 minutes, then for good. I rebooted to see if it would come back, no luck. Went back to a restore, same thing. Got phoneinfo and I can get data only on LTE/WCDMA and LTE/GSM/WCDMA. LTE/CDMA/Evdo shows no data, and roaming. Can't seem to get 3g at all. Phone won't even show as activated in CM.
update: Droidstyle's fix seems to have worked. Too scared to play around with the preferred network or CM now though

Avoid jellybomb theme and beans rom if you use the phone info app

Thank you so much. This worked like a charm. I work night shift n this happened to me at work. When I got home, I started to download the stock files to Odin back to stock to fix it but when I seen your suggestion, I did it but I fell asleep waiting for it lol n when I woke up, I got a pleasant surprised. Got my 4G back thanks a lot

even doing the whole reprovision thing has not allowed me to go back to lte/cdma/evdo.. im still stuck at either gsm or cdma auto prl... this is getting really annoying...

Personally i would avoid using that app period, it seems to cause issues on any rom

Same issue here. I called both verizon and htc... they gave me the same answer. It is a roll out issue. Apparently because its in phases... whatever. My first tbolt came down fine; this is a replacement for a broken power button and now nothing. but at least I still have free tether! HA HA fail/win you decide.
Drop down to 1X and then search for it. Once you find the update, switch back to 3G/4G to expedite the download. Worked on my girlfriend's Thunderbolt.

Yep! i was rooted up until yesterday. While rooted I checked for & successfully detected it. But I rejected. Did a full backup using TiB and ROMManager first then unrooted. Now that I am unrooted, I cannot detect the update anymore. Been trying for 24hrs.
Just going to give up and reroot using the rooted update.

dropping to 1X doesn't work for me. However, here's how you drop to 1X:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Then go to "Phone Info"
Scroll down and choose "CDMA Only" from the Drop Down. Note the setting before you change it so as to revert later on.
Good Luck and let us know if it works for you.

Reason why half of the extended battery covers don't work...

[Q] Text Messaging problems

I'm having a problem sending text messages. wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I can receive fine. I can send on WiFi or 2g, not "4g". Curious Picture messages send fine on all networks.
I have used several ROMs along the way. I have a good list of nandroid backups from various back to stock. Restoring any and all exhibits the same.
Tech support thinks it may be a service issue in my area. My son has a myTouch 4g and has no problems texting.
Anyone have an idea?
Is this with the stock messaging app?

Have you tried a hard reboot? Hold volume up + power til your phone reboots. It doesn't delete anything but it. It fixes connection issues for me most of the time.
Good thought. Tried and no go. Interestingly I turned data off and, text messages send. Went to the t-mo store. They guy there took a look at it. He pulled my SIM and put it in their demo unit. My SIM works on their phone. He says "I can get you a replacement but I need to do a factory reset" Sure go ahead. I could tells this guys was a by the numbers guy. I told him sure, then I remembered I'm running Weapons the "weapons" splash and I figured, I'm done. No, he didn't notice. New phone on the way. So I guess I need to revert to stock unrooted when I get the new one.

Lol glad it worked out. Still have to wonder why they won't send ...
It is bothering me. I think I've reformatted everything from within recovery. Flashed a fresh version of Weapons, restored from a very old nandroid, rooted 2.2.2
Just another thing to make me nuts.
I have this issue now as well only on 4g... I went to another rom and all was well the problem came back I haven't downloading anything out of the ordinary so I haven't the slightest clue on why this is happening... gonna revert back to stock if the problem persist.

I also tried the experimental, not sure why it would cause these issues after a full/complete wipe and restore of rom's that I've had no issues with at all when it comes to receiving/sending sms/mms.
did you revert back to a OTA stock, and stock recovery, no root at all? That is my last option which will be tonight probably...
I found a nandroid OTA and restored that. That was stock, unrooted. Then I flashed back the stock recovery.
I flashed several roms prior with no luck. Like I mentioned, perhaps the lg updater would fix what is missing?

SynergyROM wifi notification

So I flashed synergy today and so far everything is great except the fact that the wifi notifications are still present. Anyone running this ROM on verizon know how to fix this?
You will get the notification after install. It is supposed to go away after your first reboot.

I don't know then. It worked for me. If it's something you absolutely can't stand wipe and reinstall or just wait for the next update that requires a wipe. Sorry I can't be more help

Ok, this is something I don't understand. I am loving the SynergyROM so far, and the stock ROM wasn't bad either. However, with the stock ROM, with WiFi off, it would still notify me when in range of a remembered network, and suggest connecting automatically. It still does this with the Synergy ROM, despite turning it off in settings or using the notification screen widget.
Is WiFi really OFF if it still somehow knows whenever you're in range of a remembered network?? It blows my mind that you can't really turn some of this crap off despite really wanting to. We have 4G where I live now (finally!!) and it's over FIVE TIMES as fast as any internet I can get at my house. STOP trying to connect to inferior wifi, hahaha!! Never thought I'd be complaining about this, but there you have it.
How do you really shut off the wifi? I couldn't even do it with the phone completely stock and unrooted.

DAMN, wish I would have seen this earlier. I thought it was just my phone or that I was doing something wrong. spend several hours trying to figure out what was going on! I finally gave up earlier today and called it quits on the theme anyway. dont need it, just dont like the clock centered in beanstock R2. Bean 3.1 and v5 have the clock to the right but I didn't get as battery life with them. back to R2 now with no theme.
What specific interactions are causing the 4g issues? I have both and still have a very strong 4g signal ...
The theme looks amazing, but I lose systemui.apk and have no wallpaper. Am I missing something? Md5 matches.

using phoneinfo to change it from LTE/CDMA/EVDO to anything else, you can switch off it fine but if you try and change it back then it won't go back and will be stuck at CDMA auto prl.
Is there anyway to fix it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
This theme is kick a$$, I hope that a fix is coming soon. Right now I have not played with phoneinfo yet and still have 4g. Everything seems to be running fine and Google Wallet is working too. The only thing I see that gives me a hard time is when I try wifi off, I have to reboot the phone to get wifi back on. But that's it, tethering is works, data works, phone is fast, calls are clear and the theme is great. Thank you for the great theme!!!!!!! Hoping for a fix soon for others....
Not sure if it's just jellybomb but I was only on stock beans build 6 and it didn't switch back.

I think its an issue with all Bean Roms. Even on R2 it was an issue. its the main reason I switched to synergy. Now I'm back on R2 because I like it better than synergy. I'm just running the R2 without the theme. wasn't huge on the center clock at first but I'm adjusting to like it.

Saaaame issue. I tried going in to recovery, wiping caches and dirty flashing the rom again but it didn't work. Then I tried wiping data & caches and I reflashed the rom and it's STILL stuck on CDMA auto (PRL)...ugh.
The worst part is that I was just messing around with it, I didn't have a specific reason to change it.
