I updated to the VLRHE modem the other day and realized that my connection is words than usual and I can't get on 4g in areas I usually have it. Anyone have ideas?

Might be a noob reply but, have you download "Phone Info" from play store and checked your preferred network type? Get into "Phone Info" click "Device Information" and be sure that your preferred network type is "LTE/CDMA/EvDO"
Try reprovisioning your sim card, dial *2767*3855# it will wipe your internal SD card so back up anything you want before hand.

I had the same problem. I just rebooted and 4g was back
I had a similar issue I had to Odin back to stock for a fresh start
Idk if verizons having issues or not, but the other day my phone stopped using 4g all together too. Phone info says its set right, and everything seems fine. Verizon is sending me a new simcard.

Ok so I just got this phone from Verizon and I did not now that the service would suck, I've been all through the settings bad even using roaming apps but nothing seems to allow me to roam and get a decent reception...
Does anybody know how to unlock the roaming option from the settings?

Have you tried using "Roam Control" app? There is no setting built in to force the roam feature.

dude, i just went thru the same exact thing today. i even went totally stock, kernel, recovery and everything, still stuck in roaming.
i spent hours then i did the factory reset code on the dialer ( *#7780# (Factory Reset) ) and it worked again, i was so happy because i was thinking that i have to deal with the bs with sending the phone back or getting a new sim if that was the case. i hope it works for you also.
EDIT: i thought you were stuck roaming, not that u wanted to roam hahhahaha nevermind

I did try and also used the phone info app to see if I was roaming but nothing changes.
Is there any way to update the Prl? To see if a different prl will give me better reception

Go to settings then data usage and hit menu and you can turn roaming on.

Thanks... I got mine working but my wife isn't getting roam signal... I guess i'm gonna do the same process i did to mine...
Thanks a lot everyone
Edit...
I take back what i said. so basically im roaming and can make phonecalls but i get no network access and even though my phone says roaming voice and data i cannot access data...
here are my screen shots
I am currently in Eugene Oregon which as far as I know has 4G. I am not getting any 4G and when I downloaded "phone info" from the store it says I'm connected to gsm and cdma not lte. That seems to be my problem. But when I change it to lte/cdma/gsm it won't stick. I reopen the app and it goes back. Can anyone help me get my 4G
I'm running synergy 1.3 with imoseyon's kernel v12.
Thanks

4th or 5th question I've seen: you've flashed something that munged your SIM card MEID.
Open your dialer, type *2767*3855# and your phone will reset it's SIM card, and reboot. You're done.
I selected the (CDMA auto PRL) for 3g only then didn't like it so i wanted to switch back but it would not let me. so now i'm stuck on 3g selected (CDMA auto PRL) every time I try to switch the setting to something else it just reverts back. Did anyone else have this issue? Please is their a fix? I need help to get the 4g back on my phone. (Galaxy S3 Verizon, rooted)
I had to reset the phone and install a different rom to make mine work. Hopefully that helps.

I will try not to do that then when I get my s3.
Hope you get your 4G back and try a hard reset to fix it.

I stopped using that app due to it happening twice. The last time it happened I had to unroot and reprogram the phone

I had this issue and flashed a stock rooted Rom then used airplane mode and it came back. I highly advise against using that app

The same thing happened on my non-rooted Verizon S3 after using Phone Info app. Verizon tech said my phone was defective. When I went into Best Buy, they started switching my phone to a new S3 and it still did it...found it was the sim card. After I got a new one, it's been working ever since.
I have posted the fix in about 4 other threads...you need to reprovision your device with the dialer code
*2767*3855#
This wipes data so have a nandroid ready.
For the millionth time avoid the beans rom and the jellybomb theme.

I don't think that phone info app has been updated in years. Was never meant for new ultra high end phones. And not to sound rude but those menus were never meant for us to play with.

That menu is how I ****in' ripped off VZW and their tethering app for the longest time with my old X2 before I got pissed off at it's random disconnects and just started using wifi tether for root users.
Ahhh.. the memories. Good times.
idk if this is the same but i used the phone info app on my fascinate and changed it and couldnt get 3g so i went to mobile networks under wireless and networks
in settings and clicked data enabled
I haven't had any problems with the phone info app! Use it daily and it's never gotten stuck on 3g.

Does this Re-provision code work with 4.1.1, I've been reading that it only works with ICS builds? I can't get 4G lte ever since rooting my phone and I've tried every thing but this. I don't want to try it though unless I know for sure that it works with jelly bean.
My Build:
Clean Rom 5.5.1
Leankernel vzw tw jb 1.2.1 (imoseyon)
Baseband I535VRBLK3
AND...... I've flashed
VRBLK3.rpm.zip
VRLK3.modem.zip
The "phone info" app is stuck on CDMA auto (PRL)
APN is set to LTE - verizon internet.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DOO????!!! PLEASE HELP XDA GENIUSES!!!!

I'm on CleanRom 5.5.1 and I use Phone Info app to switch from 4g to 3g, but to go back to 4g I always have to go into System Settings -> Wireless Network -> Mobile Networks and switch it from there. Same with every JB Touchwiz ROM I've tried.

I got it changed in APN setting to "LTE - verizon internet", the only other option is "EHRPD - verizon internet", I also have global roaming set to "always allows on trips". However ever time I go back to the phone info app it resets to "CDMA auto PRL". Am I missing something?

Id say delete the phone info app or wait until it's updated to be compatible with jellybean. 3g is almost then same as lte anyways at least with my phone I almost always have a strong lte signal. The s4 chip in the gs3 was designed to be a power saver on lte compared to older chips

Ok, so if I delete the app is my phone still stuck in 3g mode somewhere in else in the phone then? I guess what I mean is does deleting app force the phone to run off the APN settings? And if this still doesn't work can I use the re-provision code ( *2767*3855#) that I saw earlier in the thread? Finally is there a way to simply check if my SIM card is screwed?
First of all, I'm stock and running faux kernel. I started experiencing this problem yesterday when I had no data and I was outside (Where I usually get 4g speeds). Now I either get 1x data speeds or none. Is there any solution for this problem like hard reseting or something

That sounds like either a Verizon problem, or sometimes your phone wants to revert to an evdo state if it can't get a 3g or 4g signal.
Download the phone info app, and open it and click device information, make sure it says lte/cdma/evdo and not evdo only.
Sometimes the setting won't stick, so in that case I would either flash a new rom or go back to stock with Odin, ota update, and reroot again.
If it says lte/cdma/evdo, then I think it has something to do with verizons end.

Actually I tried something else... I took my sim card out of my s3 and put it into a friends verizon s3 and the data didn't work on his phone but once I put his sim card onto my s3, I had 4g and many speeds I thought never existed. So what does that mean?

Pulling your SIM helped your phone to relock onto Verizon towers. It just essentially resetted the prl, glad you got it working fairly easily.

Not exactly, because my s3 for some reason got 4g and 3g when I inserted my friends SIM card onto mine but on his s3, his data was acting like mine because he had my SIM in his s3... so that draws me in one conclusion, my SIM is damaged

Please help me out here - I'm not new to flashing ROMs but this is new to me.
I was on Dirty Unicorns 4.3 AOSP ROM. All was great until I turned off mobile data to save battery. Upon turning back on, I was only in 3g. I switched my network over to LTE/CDMA/3vdo, and LTE came back. All was fine again until later that day.
Suddenly I couldn't make a call, or send a text. This has been like this for hours now. My IMEI is not zero, so that isn't the issue. What else could be the issue? I try calling someone and it says no mobile network available. However I just received a text and also I can use mobile internet just fine.
I've also tried restoring to a previous ROM and that didn't work. What gives?

Keep searching, this issue has been reported multiple times and there's an answer somewhere. I don't use AOSP roms, but maybe look in the CM10.2 Q&A and see if there's a specific fix for this issue when this happens.

Just some more details...
My IMEI is fine.
My network is on "LTE/CDMA/evdo"
I do NOT have roaming bars.
My mobile network comes in and out randomly. If it's showing bars, my calls get stuck at "dialing" and never go through. If I don't have bars, it just said "mobile network not available."
My phone number shows up fine in the "about phone" section.
Every thread I see for fixing this is slightly different - I have my IMEI and I have no roaming signal... so I don't want to follow instructions for a different issue. Anyone have any ideas?
Well, here's an update:
Verizon is at fault. Towers are down in my area. That explains why this made no sense. I'm glad I didn't wipe my phone yet! :thumbup:

Makes sense to me. Had the classic signs. When in doubt call Verizon. The first message will be that they are having problems in your area.
Wondering if I'm having the same problem. I'm in nj and have "network unknown" but all the telephony features work fine....
