LTE Issues in Los Angeles?

I'm at USC in LA, and since yesterday my phone has been having issues connecting to LTE. I haven't heard any news of outages,though, so I'm wondering if something is borked with my phone. I was on CM7, but I tried going completely back to stock and still no dice. Is anyone else having LTE issues?

haven't heard of anything but gaving the same issues since yesterday. In the Burbank area.

Oh, good — then maybe there's a chance that it's not just my phone. Even 3G sometimes drops out, and nothing comes up for LTE Only except 1X.
Weird that nobody is reporting anything, though.

I think it was an outage because 4G kept flickering all day yesterday and now it seems steadily on today without me changing anything. Thanks for the suggestion though.

there's no LTE yet where i am, but every now and then the 3G will cut in & out for about a day or so(and get stuck at 1X). whenever i call Verizon about it they'll either say there's work being done in my area or an area nearby and just said they could transfer me to a tech to see if there's something on my phone not set correctly or will just give the b.s. "pull your battery for 30 seconds" bit.
good luck if you call them

I'm at USC as well and didn't notice any issues. I was on MR2.5 and flashed the new 802 radio last night which seems even better connection and speed-wise. What radio are you using?

I'm in West LA, on the latest leak, no issues at all yesterday or today.

Currently running on 1x like a boss. Wait a minute that ain't good 4g down on the east side of the city.

Tampa Florida here and I have 3g but its about the speed of 1x and its not stable. Comes and goes sometimes I get the lame 1x too.
XDA App - HTC: Thunderbolt

same here, it hit about a hour ago. I been reflashing radios and different roms. I think its due to the new cities being added to the 4g network

3G and LTE is out for me too in LA. I'm using 1.48.00.0726w and 0.01.78.0802w_3

currently only 1x and 3G in Vancouver, WA for the past few hours.

How to bypass/ignore a nearby ATT microcell?

I currently have an ATT Infuse running gingerbread infused 2.1 that gets near perfect 4g reception in my house. However, for whatever reason my downstairs ATT 3g microcell gives me 1-2 bars and blocks me from getting that 4g reception.
This problem has a been a real pain in the rear for me. My text messages never send the first try, pic txts r very unreliable, and calls tale forever to dial.
My parents refuse to get rid of this microcell because their iphones can't see the 4g reception nearby (ya and they dare to even call them iphone 4s, nice marketing technique apple) so I cannot turn this box off.
I've also noticed that only my family plan gets to see the microcell, I was wondering how to go about turning this thing on and off (for this phone only) without disrupting my parents' 3g experience.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like a family issue not an xda or at&t one. May I suggest move out?
:edit: On a serious note at&t 3g and 4g use the exact same towers and bands so I don't see how what you are saying is possible.

Wrong, in several cases did neither of my family's iphone 4s have any reception when my infuse had full 4g, learn more before you insult my intelligence again.

Maybe they got the microcell because they are holding the iphones wrong?
Notice how no one else has even replyed. I assume this is because your post makes no sense.

This is an easy fix buddy, The Mcell only works for phone that you add the number to authorized devices on the att.com website. Simply have your parents remove your number and you will no longer be able to access the mcell.

I have had this happen in Chicago (suburb of Chicago really) also. It is really bothering me.

same thing in southern california

Call the 800 # Att&t and make sure you are "provisioned" on the right plan.. this happened to me about a month ago....Don't bother with the fools at the store.. call the 800 number instead.. Hope it helps..

what exactly is "provisioned" ? seems like it was working fine before lte

Anyone find a fix yet? AT&T wants me to switch out simcard and possibly even the phone, rather not since i dont think its the issue, but its the only options to a solution they are giving me

Do any of you guys have an active Microcell in your place? If so then that is most likely the problem. Check out the ATT website, because it is a known issue that usually ends up with router issues.

I'm having this problem in Ohio, non-LTE area. Just started this week. A lot of messages seem to be going through when 'failed'

I am having the same issues in the bay area. My lte sometimes shows up and sometimes it doesn't. Recently I have had no data connection at al,. cannot connect to market or pandora. I have had to restart my phone a lot of times. Hope they find a issue to fix this..

I see this in DFW
Usually when trying to text and coming off wifi. I have seen several double incoming texts. I usually just long press the message bubble that failed and hit resend and it goes right through.

Huh, I haven't had this happen yet, but I'm not using stock rom.

Same here... LTE is dead and 4G is cutting in and out.
Tried several different radios and get the same result.

One of my friends in Florida texted me awhile ago complaining about LTE cutting in and out. Apparently it was just a fluke. My LTE here in Indiana is fine.

My LTE here in Dallas is horrible right now. I can't even run a speed test on it.
I have restarted phone, shut down, even battery pulled and nothing.

Lte in Indy is f'n a bro

Where at in ND? Im in Minot and yea every once in a while I'll lose data but only for a minute or two.

Conway, AR here... I'm having terrible connectivity on HSPA+. I was actually about to change my radio. I'm using the note radio but until today I never had a problem with it. seems like I'm not the only one with issues.

Call AT&T and get added to the problem list. The more people who report it, the higher the severity it gets and the more people they assign to fix it.

Been on the phone with them for 45 minutes. They reset their end. had me check my apn's (fine of course), factory reset (pain in the a$$), and now they told me I can stop by a store and get a new sim card. They claim to have no issues in the area. kinda a pain really!
*by lack of connectivity pretty much I cant access any webpages. not even sure if I can get an mms.. kinda sucks. I doubt it has to do with the note modem I have been using. I'm flashing the new leaks modem UCLD2 to see if that helps.

Similar as above, woke up and data was being ridiculous. Full signal with LTE but I had no data service. Couldn't MMS, surf, etc.
Just outside of San Antonio, Texas here.

I would not have done a factory reset cause that has nothing to do with it. If your service was fine yesterday and is crap today, it's their network.

Curious what radio and rom are you using? I find it odd that we are all having connectivity issues. They told me they don't have any problems with the network in my area.

Yeah I'm in Dallas and LTE is barley functioning. Took about 20 minutes to get to this thread (oh how I wish I was exaggerating). I don't even want to guess how long its gonna take to post this once I'm done typing xD
:: Beamed Up From My Hacked Up Mobile Computing Device ::

Ok, so here's what I did...
When I started having the issues this morning I was on NexusMod Beta 3 with the UCLC5 modem. I then downloaded the new modem UCLD2 and flashed it... Still no good. so I called AT&T (see brief post above)... then I figured I'd try a new rom. I downloaded the new Sky ICS UCLD2 base followed the instructions there (even reflashed the UCLD2 modem). Still no luck so I reflashed the UCLC5 modem. Now I have connectivity again. I'm going to be watching it closely over the next few hours. Not sure if this will help anyone but It's so far working for me.

My friend at AT&T just texted me, issue resolved.

What is the best radio for a frustrated ATT CUSTOMER

I have try the original that came with the phone. Ucle2. Uclf6. And none seem to work in the basement i guess is not equipment or software it must be coverage.
I get frustrated when I see coworkers using their Verizon phone without any problem

I believe I read somewhere that Verizon frequencies are better at solid object penatration.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

att might just have bad reception in your basement. if it's a problem for you get a microcell http://www.att.com/standalone/3gmicrocell/. some times if you call and complain about reception in your home they will discount the cost of one.

I had to buy my micro cell. It works dam good. Couldn't get signal where I lived it gave me 5 full bars. If you leave att or don't have an account it wont work. If your looking for one I'm selling mine. Went prepaid and don't have att account. Pm me for details

That microcell looks very promising, my mom gets very poor service in her home, and though I couldn't find what it costs, she said she would drop her home phone if she got better home coverage, so it should negate whatever it does cost.

One thing to keep in mind with repeaters/cell boosters though is that your signal will only be as good as what the booster is getting despite what your phone shows. For example if your Booster has a -95 dBm signal at the roof then even if your phone shows -68 dBm while at the other end you are still just getting the -95dBm so your 5 bars is just your signal to the booster not the actual cell network

MicroCell
I was really lucky. I got a letter from AT&T to come on down and pick one up, all I had to do was keep my cell contact for 12 months, I had just signed a new one for 2 years anyways.
Went from 1-2 bars to 4-5 on my SR and my wifes Apple 3gs.
IF you can get one do. But keep in mind that the way it works is that you have to set it up with and get a GPS signal. Then it will use your internet connect to make and receive calls while your phone is on the MicroCell. I have never really seen any issues either with my call performance or internet speeds while on the phone.
