4G outage in LA? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I recently flashed BAMF1.8 and MR2. It was working pretty well yesterday, but today I have no 4G at all and 3G seems to drop in and out at random. Sometimes, I don't even have 1x. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it a network issue or did I royally screw something up? Thanks!

im having the same problem i was using bamf sense 3.0 RC4 for a few days nd my mobile just stopped working. two days of flashing roms and radios i still got nothing verizon gave me a new sim nd still nothing i havent tried going back to stock, is that what i should do nd try to get a new phone? after trying to activate my phone online i have 1x now but i did have a few minutes of 3g/4g then nothing again HELP PLEASE!!!

I saw this same exact issue on Das BAMF Gingerstripped and it was really freaking annoying. The fastest solution was a reboot, but it was possible to wait it out until data comes back.
Another thing I started to play with before I flashed to CM7 was using Plane mode as a way to re-engage Mobile Networks (3G + 4G) to get data back. It worked sometimes, but other times nothing. So far running about 24 hours on CM7 and have not had this issue yet, where as on Gingerstripped BAMF I was seeing this problem daily.
I also just flashed the newest radio (1.70) and will see how that works. I'm hoping I just don't see this issue again at all, don't care if its due to CM7 or the radio. I just don't want to deal with it anymore.

Going to airplane mode and back didn't do anything. I guess its a problem with my phone then.

After disabling LTE completely, my phone works perfectly on 3G. Does anyone else in LA have 4G issues? I've flashed a bunch of roms and radios to no avail. I just want to know if I should keep tinkering or sleep on it. Thanks!

try going to a verizon store and see if their 4G devices work properly. at least that'll let you know if the network has issues.

ZIP = 90024
I've had no problems with 4g in northwest LA today. I'm Vanilla Bean's latest release on a froyo radio (can't remember which one, but it isn't the one that was leaked today)

I'm in ZIP 90007 and what's been happening is my phone seems to be connecting to 4G, but it doesn't work and just sits there. =\

It was stolen by Mexicans.

[Q] 3G acting strange..

So all of a sudden my TB's 3G started acting odd. It disappears (the 3G icon disappears) unless I'm checking for updates, in which case it randomly reappears and seems to be doing work. Toggling airplane mode on and off doesn't help nor does turning the phone on and off. I can still get texts and calls but no 3G...
Tried everything (going back to ROMs that were backed up from a few days ago) as well as flashing that full new ROM/radio update. Wasn't doing anything specific before it went out...
Any ideas?

I didn't find that this worked at all. Only since the new radio was installed have I found 3g drop because I know I am in a partial 4g area. So for the time being I don't want to turn of the ePHRD. Has anyone else experienced this since upgrading radio and such?

Well I did upgrade the radio and this fixed the problems I was having. Getting great speeds now. But I'm far away from any 4G areas :/
I am having all kinds of problems today with the 3g icon going on and off. Sometimes when its on I still do not have data connectivity. Is this a verizon problem or just the new radio?
I think it has to do with LTE being prepped to roll out and more intensive stress-tests that they may be planning.
I've been having similar issues. I did the entire rooting process then flashed BAMF 1.5 and had little radio issues, but once I saw the 3G cut out a couple times yesterday, I flashed the radio that was already on my SD card. Since then it randomly cuts in and out, and sometimes requires a full phone reboot to come back. I don't think it's Verizon at all (at least not in my case), although my area is supposed to get 4G sometime this year.
I'm hoping the official OTA has a "better" radio that can fix these issues...since I sort of had issues like this in Boston when I was stock, but at home out in Central MA, 3G was as solid as ever.
Just an update in case anyone was reading this older thread--I continued to have signal issues for a day or two after rooting but I think I just had bad timing on flashing the new radio. I've spoken to a few Verizon customers (my mom included) and many of them had 3G issues the last couple days. Yesterday it was solid as a rock, signal better than I'm used to. So it probably was just a Verizon outage, testing 4G or whatever it was that they've been doing.
It's Verizon outages right now, lots of testing upgrading going on with VZW right now.

[Q] need help with data issue, interseting problem.

So ive been running gingeritis for 4 days with no issue, then suddenly early this morning I only had access to sites I go to frequently, google search brings no page found, no weather updates, no voice search, one out of ten apps download, two out of eleven pulse feeds update, and I show full 4g with data transfer arrows both ways. A friend 50 miles away is having the same issue. Is anyone else getting this?
Same here. Reynoldsburg Ohio. Started happening around 1am. Things are pucking up though it seems
4Geezy ON DopeDiculous's ROOTED TBeezy!
Is it just us with gingerbread radios or are froyo radios getting it too?
Same problem here. I'm on Bamf GB and this morning I've lost all Network Connection. When I reboot I have 3G for less than 10 mins then it's gone and doesn't come back. I tried flashing back to bamf 1.7 with froyo radio and still having this problem. Finally I flashed all the way back to my stock root backup and it works. I also have friends running GB Roms now getting this problem...
same here on GB rom.. in LA
Alright guys I hope this helps but I finally got network connection back. I flashed the new GB Radio here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115714
Then I flashed Bamf GB Rom again and turned on LTE/CDMA network settings (I don't have 4G where I live). I rebooted about 3-4 times and finally my connection stayed on. After about an hour I turned it back to just CDMA and it stayed.
Hopefully this helps, it worked for me. Just wanted to share.
Went to the Verizon store and all of the 4g phones were doing the same thing. Must be a Verizon issue. Lol. Go figure

Lol yeah after I spent all freaking day screwing with my phone. FML
there are some people on the other threads in the deleloper forums having the same problem, but since I haven't posted 10 * times i can't post and tell them that verizon is having issues
I am just going to post four more times so I can post over there and tell them
also it looks like more and more cities are getting affected as the day goes on
hopefully they straighten out the 4 g issues soon
and it looks like it's happening 2 more and more people
solved. Lte is having compatibility issues with ipv6. Lol Verizon isn't compatible with the internet. Haha

Anyone Else in Phoenix, AZ Area with Serious 4G Issues Today? 7-11

Having major 4G Speed and connectivity issues today. Started at my home in Glendale and is continuing to be an issue with where I work in Scottsdale.
Just curious if i'm the only one. Was running BAMF Sense 3.0, switched back to a Nandroid GingerRemix 2.1, and even swapped Radios and went to a Froyo Nandroid but still no 4G love.
Hoping i'm not the only one. Any other Phoenix-area residents plz chime in.
Bump. There's a ton of AZ people in this forum. Am I seriously the only one with issues. Making me nervous folks.
I don't live in AZ, but i'm having the same issue as you. My 3G is not working at all. All of the sudden it dropped and I have flash a different radio and even reinstall bamf 3.0 fresh again and no 3G at all.
I'm up at about the 101 and I17 and my 4G has been solid everytime I've looked at it. I've been fairly busy today so I haven't been on it all day though
59th and Bell
Running strong so far. No issues with 2g, 3g or LTE
CM7 1.2 with MR2.5
Call Verizon customer service (*611 from a Verizon phone) and they will fix it for you. I've had this problem before in Tallahassee with 4G and its an easy fix if you call them.

What was the fix they offered you? I did a battery pull last night and made sure my battery cover was in place fully and it seemed like it was working for a few hours, but today it's back to crap.
It's connecting to 4G, but all i get is data Up and not Down (you can see the arrows blinking, and the Up arrow is the only one blinking). I've tried all three MR2 Radios (original MR2, MR2.5, and official OTA MR2) and I get the same sh!t on all three of them.
What gives!?

I was having the exact same problem with the up arrow only on, but I called them and they told me to remove my battery and 4G card for 10 seconds, and maybe they did something on their end, but when I put it back in it worked perfectly. I've had 10+ different times when the internets stopped working on my Tbolt, but the customer service was able to solve it every time, strange that it didn't work for you. Hope your 4G starts working again soon, I know how annoying it can be when it randomly stops working :/

[Q] 4G issues on rooted phone.

My 4g is not coming on a "fringe" areas anymore, and when I am in the heart of a 4g market, it cuts in and out. It will show 4g on the notification bar, but will not connect to the internet, or will just show an upload arrow. It will eventually work if left along for a few mins, but then cut out or freeze again.
I've been rooted since July, and this is the first time i've had these kinds of problems.
I'm currently running BAMF Forever 1.0.5. I don't believe it to be a ROM issue, b/c i have since flashed other ROMS just to test, and still have the same connection problems.
I have pulled the Battery and sim, and made sure the battery door was on properly. I have tried every GB radio out there, and have not been able to fix it.
My big question: Is this a hardware problem, or could it be a bad sim, or something else?
Since my phone is rooted, how exactly would i go about discussing my 4G issues with Verizon? Would it just be best to nandroid my ROM, and install a rooted version of stock? Can i call and ask for a new SIM over the phone, or will i have to go into a store?
My phone is still usable, as the 3G works fine, but I would like to try and figure out a way to get 4G operational again.
If you've read this far, Thanks.

did you go from rooted stock rom to the Das Bamf Forever gb rom without flashing a new radio? there are links in the development forum to the new 802 radios that i would recommend. i'm using that with shiftao5p and 4g is running great.
I am having issues with 4g in my area too. It was just turned on in my area a couple days ago, but I live in the heart of the area and get nothing but 3g. In certain areas while I'm driving I've noticed that it will connect to 4g, but not for long and when i have been able to do a speed test it has only been around 5 meg down which doesn't sound right.
I'm using the latest gingeritis 3d and have tried all sorts of different radios. I've pulled the battery and the sim card and no dice.
Does it just take a little time for them to get everything working and then the coverage will be what its supposed to be?

[Q] 3g and 4g gone, only 1x

I havent done anything to my phone lately and besides just having roms on it...so i my 3g and 4g data is now gone and i get 1x signal. The signal alternates from 1x to no signal at all. This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457659 is what i got on my phone right now and i got the radios installed and i still get 1x. At one point 3g showed up, but its really slow. So my question is, how can i fix this network problem?
ps. i have been struggling with this for 2 weeks and ive decided to try and fix it, but no luck
edit: ive taken the battery out and luck either, i also found a thread on how to fix the problem but it didnt help
i too have had this problem for 5 days now. i have been thinking of flashing the phone again to see if it would fix it.
Well i got some signal now, i went ahead and just added another ROM. I get signal every now and then, but i think i would have been better off with just constant 1x signal, instead of having no signal at all then some 3g coverage (really slow for some reason).
I just rooted my girlfriend's Thunderbolt last night and I'm having this same issue.
I had to roll back her latest OTA update and go back to 2.11.605.0 and then run Revolutionary. Since I rolled back her software, though, I've had the 1x signal issue. I assumed that installing the new ROM would fix this (BAMF Forever 1.10).
I've installed BAMF after using Superwipe, and everything runs smoothly. It's a great ROM. However, I can't get anything above 1x signal.
I've done the trick using ##778 and changing the Rev. A setting...no dice (and from what I've read, this is better in areas with no 4G. I live in Brooklyn, so I definitely want the 4G LTE).
I've tried the MR4 radio released just a few days ago, the radio from 2.11.605.9 OTA, and the MR3 radio. Same problem. I guess I'm going to try out the remaining radios I haven't touched, but I honestly don't think that will do anything.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

Ok I take this all back, she tells me her phone now reads 4g lte with full service. Looks like jumping across a few cell towers did the trick.

have you tried using different radios? This solved my issue. I had to go though 3 radios to find the right one, but it worked.
