Been stuck on 1x all morning, have tried rebooting, toggling connection (I am not in 4g area). I am on MR2 released radio. I am rooted.
Any one else having 3g or even 4g connection issues?

Toggle to cdma prl in York LTE settings and reboot. If I have LTE set on I get 1x all the time. Not sure if its the real problem or fix but seems to work for me. I'm also in a 3g area.

Same issue here.
This morning I wake up, and my thunderbolt is stock on 1x. If I switch to 4G, it will do 4g, but back to CDMA only, and stuck on 1x. I have 4G at home, but leave it on 3G because I normally am at work with no 4G coverage.
I flashed the stock mr 2 rom just to confirm and used the official radio just to be safe. No change.
Googled around a bit and here is a fix that worked for me...
Dialer -> ##778# ->Call -> Edit -> 000000 -> modem settings ->Rev A
Switch to enable from eHRPD and then hit back once. Menu->Commit.
Solved for me, but I don't know if it has adverse effects...

Did the exact same thing. Doesn't have adverse affects other than with losing benefits of LTE.

This makes your phone use the "old" version of EvDO. Basically what all 3g phones that don't have 4g radios use. If your area doesn't have 4g, doing this change shouldn't effect you at all and might get you 3g if you are stuck in 1x.

1X here all morning too. I'm in San Francisco.
On the plus side, my DL/UL speeds suck, but ping is 9 ms, so Mobile Hotspotting is still relatively fast.

Dont think you can use data while on a call when using EVDO, like you could on LTE.

You can in 3G with the Thunderbolt. I did it yesterday. I work in 4G but live in 3G, but this feature is what finally made me pick the TB over the Charge.
I started this morning with the 3G/4G toggle on 3G only, to save battery, and around lunch I switched 4G back on and it has been there since... I haven't had issues with 1X. Must be a regional thing.

[Q] turn off 4g on verizon?

Is there a way to switch off 4g on the verizon SGIII and leave on the 3g to save some battery?
I don't want to turn off mobile data completely but i can't find how to turn off 4g like on the galaxy nexus.

I'm looking for the same feature as well. I haven't been able to find it yet. I've been having issues with the phone not having a data connection while on 4g. 3g works fine and i'd like to force it to drop from 4g to 3g.
I called VZW and their technicians were stumped that there was no way to disable the 4g radio in the settings. They were also confused as to why I get wifi notifications when the wifi is turned off (thanks verizon. I pay for unlimited data and i get nagged to use wifi).

if verizons is like sprints it eould be under settings-> more settings-> mobile networks and switch it from cdma/lte to cdma

yeah, i looked there, but the only options are LTE- verizon internet and EHRPD- verizon internet
does anyone know if the EHRPD is cdma only?

Use the app called Phone Info (free in the market) Open it and choose device settings. Scroll down and click in the box with the arrow in the lower right corner and select whatever reception you want.

^this is truth and the most popular way to switch to 3g

so is it just "cdma only" that we want using the phone info program or something else? there's a ton of option in the drop down.

you want cdma auto (prl). CDMA Only won't give you 3G.

Switching back to 4G
Quick Question....I've used this app to bump my phone into 3G and it works great, but now I can't get it back to 4G. I'm with Verizon, and I've tried all of the LTE settings in the drop-down menu. How can I get my 4G back?

Argh....I flashed back to stock, and still no 4G. I even took the SIM card out for a few minutes and reseated it. This is frustrating. I checked my other phone, the trusty old Thunderbolt and it has 4G. I thought that there may have been an issue since we had heavy storms, but if that old clunker gets it, then the SG3 should. Also, mom came over with her Nexus and her 4G is working as well.

Called Verizon Tech Support (besides being upgraded to the 20GB Data Share plan), and there's something wonky with my SIM card. Need to go get a new one tomorrow. Oh well....I won't use that tool again.

Unable to get 4g back after using Phone App.

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.

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

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.

The "phone info" app is stuck on CDMA auto (PRL)

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?

Galaxy S2 Skyrocket i727R crappy connection on mobilicity

hello
I set up my unlocked i727r to work with mobilicity, however, it has very crappy reception. I tried the t989 KID modem, the vk1, the telus kj3, and the blaze modems. They all give me weak signal (anywhere between 0-2 bars with mobilicity), whereas my galaxy nexus has 3 bars. It tends to lose connection when I go inside a supermarket, and sometimes disconnects from the network and doesnt want to reconnect. I have the gingerbread, and I want to keep it. So, is anyone using this phone with mobilicity and getting a good signal strength? Do you mind sharing with me what you did?
thanks

Bars aren't really a good indication of signal.

I'm more or less in the same boat... in particular upload rate is horrible ~40kbps.
OP: any progress in your experience with mobilicity and in your search of a suitable modem?

It's the network not the phone. I was with them & got the same results with a Lumia 710 & the 727r. I tried all the different modems & the best is the Blaze 4G IMO.

Did you guys also have to change your kernels to get it to work?
I have tried the usual 4 radios combined with SKYICS and also with the stock OS (latest Rogers version) without much success.
I get some signal but as soon as I try to call the phone would hang on me (it would dial out incidentally).
Thanks a lot

Nope didn't have to do anything other then flash the recovery, to allow me to flash the radios from zip files. The Rom and kernel were stock GB or ICS. I did go into *#2263# and set WCDMA option from all to 1700, & the mobile network option from automatic to manual selecting Mobilicity or its network ID #.

Actually a couple of weeks ago I flashed the t989 juggernaut rom, with the faux kernel and vkl1 radio and its somewhat better.

[Q] CM10 10.0.0 Stable - no cell service in NY

Try setting your apn to Lte. Seems like you should have some sort of cell service though.

I've gone into settings...more...mobile networks...network mode and used preferred network mode: LTE/GSM/WCDMA. I also tried updating the network operator to AT&T (and tried automatically choose preferred network) and I still get no service in NY.
Edit: DUH...I figured out where I needed to change the setting and everything appears to be fixed. Thanks!
