I recently upgraded to 4.1.2 successfully and also kept root with RootKeeper but I now have an issue that I did not have before with my 4G signal. Whenever I place a call on 4.1.2 my 4G data drops out when on all previous versions it stayed on. Also, I had the issue where my phone only had 3G active after upgrading to 4.1.2 so I went to Verizon, had them switch my SIM card and 4G came back.
Is anyone else having the issue of losing 4G data when placing calls?
Phone: Droid RAZR MAXX HD (XT926)
Carrier: Verizon Wireless

Could someone please test this under the same circumstance I am in (XT926 4.1.2 Rooted) and let me know if they are having the same issue?
Just trying to decide if I want to get a replacement phone from Verizon to go back to 4.1.1 or this is an issue that is looking to be resolved. It sucks because I really enjoy 4.1.2, the phone is much snapper and responds way quicker when opening and closing apps
Thanks!

Doesn't happen to me.you sure about the 4g drop and just an icon change on the bar? Check networks in the settings menu during a call.

Thanks for your response! Any communication about what others are dealing with is helpful as it lets me understand the issue may only be on my end.
I've attached a screenshot of the "More" section under "Wireless & networks" from my phone during a phone call. As you can tell I do not have the 4G icon on my task bar and I am not able to modify the "Mobile networks" section as it is grayed out. Any idea why this may be?
I've also tried to use the Internet through a browser while on a phone call and it does not connect confirming I do not have Internet connection.

I've done a factory reset but have not done a full sbf yet because I do not want to lose root on my device. I truly enjoy 4.1.2 and enjoy it even more rooted so going back to a bone stock would really be disappointing. I will try to install a rom through safestrap to see if I get the same results.
If I do a full sbf, is there anyway for me to get root back on my 4.1.2 device?
Thanks again for your suggestions and responses!

I changed ROMs and I still have the issue. I ended up having Verizon send me a new phone out. Just got the new phone and everything is working right now. I am not to sure what happened with the old one but its definitely an issue only pertaining to my phone.
Could you please provide me with the steps you took to get your phone rooted on 4.1.2 so I can get back there?

Hi everyone.
I've bought my Motorola Xoom 3G 32GB from the internet and it came with the "international" firmware.
3G used to work all fine with any carrier I try until I flashed Tiamat ROM for all the advantages it supplies.
It just can't find a carrier (which is probably US Verizon).
Is there any way I can regain my 3G back?
Well its been a couple days. Has the 3g kicked in yet by itself?
I went ahead and unlocked my zoom yesterday and when it booted back up I didn't have 4g service kinda like you.
I tried finding some APN settings but the xoom wont let me edit them anyways. By the end of the night I went back to try and fix it again and I noticed it had connected again by itself.
I would try calling the carrier you prefer and get them to reset the APN. Moto might do it if you leave out the rooting part.
If its like phones it might be a case of flashing the multiCSC. Because on my old captivate the multicsc was the international unlock you described.

Well, I'm in this state for moths and still didn't regain my 3G back.
And, is there any way I can re-flash the files which determine the carrier alone?
Or alternatively, isn't there a way to manually compile Tiamat ROM with the international build files for universal support?
well you could go back to stock and that should work to get 3g-
I really like this ROM and don't want to go back to original.
That's why I'm asking for solutions '{: (

Look in the Development Section. TeamEos ICS Nightly is now available for 3G/4G...not sure if it supports international 3G yet, but they're working on it. The ICS rom, while still in alpha/beta stage (missing binaries for cameras) is stable and smooth and has tons of functionality.
Thanks okantomi!
I hope this ends my dilemma (fingers crossed).

I'm encountering significant battery drain after updating my RAZR MAXX HD to 9.18.79. Has anyone experienced? I used to love the battery life prior to the update, but now it straight up sucks. I'm rooted.
Any suggestions? I guess there's no real way of removing the update.

You can always use mattlgroff utility to flash an older SBF.
However its going to wipe your phone so I suggest using titanium backup to backup your apps.
You might also want to do a nandroid backup either via safestrap or TWRP just in case you want to get your phone back to the 9.20 with all your informatoin still intact.

Thanks. I'll try that. I'm surprised I'm the only person experiencing this problem. It must be an updated app that has changed its resource utilization.
Hmm I'm going to have to try this. I did the factory reset last night after the upgrade due to reboots and horrible battery life. Still getting the reboots and too early to tell if battery life is better or not. I was a fool and didn't unlock my bootloader, only rooted because I was as happy as a pig in mud with this phone prior to this last upgrade. I wonder after the sbf if its unlockable again? Probably similar to the droid x sbf?

I don't know why do people want to update at all cost. If it ain't broken there is no need to fix it. Quite frankly I liked ICS best but when I sent my Droid for a repair it came already with JB. Just disable moto services and you won't see those nagging, annoying update requests. I am aware that many guys will always want "the newest" version... F.e. The newest gmail client sucks big time. In order to delete the message gotta click twice. They got rid of the trash can. Who believes it is better/more beneficial now? Just my 2 cents.

Successfully used the above linked utility to revert back to old radio and system version 9.16.6. Root worked in the utility too, but I had my phone rooted before. Now I have 2 superuser apps, one with a pound sign icon and the other with the green android with an eye patch. I went for the gold and the boot loader unlock failed of course. From what I read I knew it would but had to try anyways. I'll be happy if I'm back to where I was before. Got the updater froze now in titanium backup.

FYI give 9.18.79 update about 3-4 days. After that you will see your batter life go up. I got 1d 6h 35m on medium usage after a couple of days.The first day I only had about 16 hours.
So the two things I have circled never used to be listed under running apps. What would cause these to be listed? Only since the VZW update have I noticed this.

Hi, I just recently installed Slim Bean 4.3 (stable) on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 as well as flashing gapps, however, I don't get mobile data. I was told to check my APNs and there weren't any. Is there a specific one I should be using? I've attempted several from the internet and/or here, however, I'm still unsuccessful.
I would greatly appreciate a working APN or other solution that I haven't noticed, because I'd like to use Slim Bean. I'll end up flashing back to 4.0.4 stock and trying another ROM if I can't find something good.

I tried this (as well as flashing CyanogenMod) but still to no luck on both ROMs. I'm about to flash to 4.0.4 and I'll probably keep it there at the moment. I noticed that I was using TWRP 2.5 which isn't the latest version so I'm gonna try to figure out how to flash 2.6 as well.
Alright, so, I flashed 4.0.4 (through ODIN) and I don't have data through there either.
Hm.
Time to go deeper.
Be careful what you do, kids, you might lose your data connection and be incredibly annoyed!
To be fair, I was kind of just messing around and not paying strict attention, so this isn't incredibly surprising to me. If it comes down to it I'm going to get my phone reset with Verizon.

I would try flashing to 4.1.2 mf1. I lost data on 4.2.2 twice and one of those times I flashed back to 4.0.4 and didn't have data. Flashing to the latest 4.1.2 fixed everything.
do you happen to know what the problem was?
i'm downloading Official VRBMF1 4.1.2 right now.
I'm crossing my fingers that this works.

Apparently there is an update AT&T is forcing that is causing massive amounts of phones to crash with a "No Sim Card Found, Restarting..." error message. Then you get "Emergency Calls Only".
I was told this by the in store warranty department at AT&T today when there were several people in front and behind me with the exact same issues. I reflashed, rebooted, got a new SIM card...nothing! Still here now with a phone that wont make or receive calls waiting for a new one.
The only fix AT&T is aware of? Get a replacement!
What update? Post a screen shot of your "About device".
Good luck with the replacement device.

You'd have to downgrade. It's easier to flash the 4.4 keeproot OTAs, the nb1 and then nc1, or even just a 4.4.2 custom ROM.

I could only delay the so many time that it finally upgraded this afternoon. I lost my root.
The only reason that I root is simply to be able to tether. I'm not interested in custom ROMs, etc. So, in my situation, is there a more direct (simpler) method to get me back to tethering on 4.4.2?
Thanks in advance!

You still need to do the downgrade, but you can flash a the stock ROM with root and tether once you do. No way around the downgrade to root yet.

Not that I have heard of. There is a thread on Howard forums about this very issue. After root and bootloader unlock was available, I upgraded to 4.4.2. I could not get 4.4.2 to work with the old methods. Tried writing a 4.0.4 modem into 4.4.2 and it would not work at all with the KK update. I have heard that you can flash a CM 4.4 rom after you have everything working on 4.1.2 and will still have PagePlus. I have not tried this approach yet. Others more knowledgeable than I, have not yet gotten PagePlus service with the stock 4.4.2 yet.

I've been trying everything I can think of but no luck yet. The best I was able to do is take advantage of the bootloader unlock. Downgrade to 4.1.2 stock. Flash the ics radio driver. Get page Plus working. Install twrp then flash cm11. there are several 4.4 roms made for the 3.0 jb kernel. But now even cm builds are starting to build on the new kernel+bootloader and do not work with the ics radio.

There was a post over on Howard Forums by Milo1946 about the Mokee 4.4.4 rom having the ability to set NV only mode from the rom itself. It is under Mobile Network settings. I don't know anything about this rom. Has anyone tried this and if so did it work to get onto PagePlus?
Tried it, no good
Edit: to elaborate on this. The setting is on all the new cm11 builds but it seems to have the same problem as editing the setting via dfs. It'll always revert to ruim on reboot unless running the ics radio.
Thanks thewraith, I guess we are stuck on 4.1.2. I have heard that Verizon is going to allow LTE on their prepaid. There is some talk of that filtering down to PagePlus. If and when that occurs then will go back to KK.

Yeah that would be nice but I'm not holding my breath waiting for them. The jb bootloader cm11 builds work very good, the only issue I experience is the screen dimmer bug.. It'll sometimes get stuck a bit dimmer then I'd like but it's not that bad. If I ever get the time I've been considering pulling in the source myself to tinker around
