[Q] 4G issue - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been having a weird issue with my 4G the last few days. I live in Oklahoma City which was a city that got 4G awhile ago it was running fine with no real problems until yesterday. The problem is it shows service and I can load xda app to get to forums but youtube, pda net, dolphin browser won't load. When I switch over to cdma it loads fine(just slower of course). When i switch back to LTE xda app loads and speed test .net show correct 4G numbers. I have tried flashing a new ROM from cm7 1.2, Omfgb, synergy sense 3.0 nightlies plus chingys lastest ROM. Flashed radios 2mr 2.5mr and the lastest radio chingy put on root wiki. I wipe usally 3times between flashes and dalvik a few times. I was just wondering if anyone has had this trouble or maybe its something up with Oklahoma City since it just happened a few days ago. If anyone else has this problem or has fixed it please let me know.

Dolphin browser will load about 75% Then stop but I can look at the webzine format. This is quite weird. Sorry for double posting I just thought id add that

Just to let you know I am having LTE data issues in OKC too.

I read over on rootzwiki someone in Texas was having the same problemn he lives in Texas. So maybe its a Verizon network problem

Same thing in dallas, browser works if you use bing gotta be a google/verizon issue. I don't know why but it will not connect to google using 4g.

Same thing in the DFW area of TX. I cannot connect to G+ on 4G but if I switch over to 3G it works fine. Also have the browsing issue on the stock browser.

Verizon had no clue what I was talking about. What's really aggravating is google voice isn't working either on 4g.

I do not think its a root or radio issue. I have Th3roy on mine with the leaked radio its got no google voice or browser on 4g, 3g is fine, im in Tulsa. One of my buddies had two non rooted tb's they're both doing exactly the same thing.

4glte data to the browser and google voice is back up here in Tulsa at 1907

im having the same problem here in text i read on the CM7 people were having this problem too it says i have 4g but when i try to use my apps or go on the internet pages wont load. i have notice that if i switch to cdma 3g it works just fine so i been on while im out in about. i also notice that when i use wifi tether on 4g it works just fine when i am connected tp my xbox and laptop i get good speeds but on my phone web pages just wont load. i went ahead and called verizon about the problem and they said nothing was wrong with 4g here in the south even tho they are reciving alot of calls about the issue and tried to trouble shoot me which didnt wor and say i wasnt in a 4g area even tho houston was in the frist batch of of cities to get 4gand i tried trouble shoot myself by changeing roms and radios still no lucky.. i believe verizon messed something up because i just started having these problems saturday night and either dont know whats going on or are playing dumb until they figure it out....sorry about the long message

its not only in OKC im in Texas and having these problems and for me none of my web pages load on exp.. droid life, bgr, phonedog, phandriod, android police, my droid world, google+..... its funny because the only website that seems to work for me is androidcentral.com and even funnier that the rest of the web pages will load fine on 3g like i said before verizon messed something up Saturday and either dont believe what people are telling them or are trying to keep quite about and like someone else metioned its not only rooted thunderbolts two of my coworkers with out rooted thunderbolts are having the same issue and a friend on a charge is too.`

I was one of people on mikmik who posted about this rootzwiki also I believe I thought I was going insane. Network problem for sure I have loaded so many roms and radios to no avail. Can't search anything on Google VIA search bar or load Google.com on 4G. Defaulted browser search and homepage to Bing for now. 4G coverage is very bad for me in DFW area of Texas.

i just got off the phone with verizon and they want everyone to call in from a different number at 1800-922-0204 they also said they are aware of the issue with not being able to view google websites and that there is a setting we need to change.... i believe its something with the network because im having trouble with more than just google sites

Hey everyone,
The problem with the 4g in Houston seems to be a DNS issue. I have a thunderbolt and very few of my Google apps or services seem to be able to connect even though 4g indicator is on.
Here's a link to the topic on rootzwiki where people have found a solution:
rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1763-Browser-not-liking-LTE&p=39618#post39618
And here's another xda thread where people are having the same issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16014183&posted=1#post16014183
If you're phone is rooted please try the set DNS app to change to the appropriate DNS and let us all know how it goes. Since my phone isn't rooted, I will wait it out a little longer just to see if Verizon fixes the DNS. However, I think we should all email/call/harass Verizon as much as possible. It's flat out unacceptable to the consumers who paid good money and locked in on a 2 year contract to get 4g. I could have taken my money elsewhere but Verizon has the fastest network, but if Verizon can't get their DNS server working then I'd rather take my money elsewhere.

I just grabbed set DNs and used Google dnsand my 4glte is now running fine. Good idea.

Same here. I put it in LTE mode, and used the DNS fix, and half hour later, I don't get any 4G, and no data at all. 3G seems to work.
I decided to restore my default DNS settings back.
EDIT: Never mind its back up now.

[Q] 4G issues after root

After Rooting this device i am having issues holding a 4G connection. My aera 4G is the best in the country according to verzion. Before root no issues after root only 3G. Could this be caused by the radio change during root? Anyone else with this issue?
I thought I had as I seemed to always have 4g in my office but noticed it was on and off today.. My thought wasnt that I rooted, but rather was watching the phone and little things like signal strength all day. I even switched over to lte only and evrc.b.
Maybe more tb's are hogging the signal
There's plenty of 4G flakiness going on, rooted or not. My 4G performance is identical to what it was pre-root. Usually it's great, sometimes it seems to just fade away to 1xRTT and stay there for a while. No amount of reboots or airplane modes will fix it. My phone did the exact same thing on Friday at my office (pre-root) and did it yesterday at the shopping center (post-root).
There's a couple of threads where this is mentioned/discussed already, you might want to search them out, there might be more information that helps you get a handle on the problem.
Starting to wish I never made the change to Verizon. Never had issues with T-Mobile 4G...

I hated T-Mobile when I had them... Never had 4g tho so can't say anything. My TB has ONLY been Post-root. I've had times where it shows mobile data as on and i have nothing coming thru. This was on the Stock Rooted. Now im on VirusROM and it seems to be a bit/alot better, i can't really test until school 2moro tho.

[Howto] 3g Problems (The 1x lock)

Hello Friend Citizen! You have come to this thread because your 3g is not working correctly. You may have a 1x lock or even no data at all. It is important that you follow these steps:
1. DO NOT PANIC
2. DO NOT DECIDE TO BADMOUTH A ROM/RADIO/KERNEL ETC. (its not their fault. Honestly!)
3. Breathe.
4. See step 1.
Now that we've gone that far, let me first say that VZW is having network issues. Due to these issues, they have been causing phones in different areas and even random phones (not always your friends in the same area) to lose 3g. This is affecting the Fascinate as well as the ThunderBolt, the PALM PRE and many other verizon 3g and 4g phones.
On the offchance that it is actually a modem problem, simply backup your rom and restore to stock via odin. Test out your 3g and if it is still lost, relax and restore your rom and wait for VZW to get their act together.
You can use the DL09 package in this thread to test the stock radio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044474
Probably not the correct place to post this, but great thread
yeah, mine literally went out in the last 30 minutes, tried *228 option 1 and after rebooting nothing changed....but now according to the network *228 is "not a valid number"
anyone want to conspire about how this could be a part of implementing the "if you're rooted we will deny you data access" drama that was floating around recently?
Nahh...
Double-checked with a coworker who also has a Fascinate. Bone-stock DL09 and she has no data right now, as well.
I've gone back to DL09 several time running stock, unlock, non-root...and 3G still wacked.
Let it OTA update to ED01 stock (took damn 3 hours) and still wacked
Took it to verizon store to show them a vanilla stock ED01 with 3G issue. They confirmed the hardware was hosed and will be sending me a new one.
I also went to the Verizon store an hour ago to have my phone looked at. The rep called a tech and apparently he said that my phone wasn't receiving any data from their side. So he reset my data and wamo.. pages are loading, the market works, and I'm still on dl09 modem. Going to flash EC01 and see what happens. Definintly something wrong on their side of this.
any links to the data outage information?

I don't think it's the hardware, Verizon is having confirmed data issues. Their 4G network went down earlier today and all devices fell back to 3G, which is now having issues. Mine actually came back a little while ago only to disappear again....it's a flaky network at this point. The guy at the Verizon store doesn't have the ability to assure you your hardware is hosed. That was opinion.
On the phone with a tech right now. Let's see what they can do for me.

just took a poll in the office out of the 5 devices I checked 2 are stuck on 1x (a fasc and a tunabolt). The other three (2 fasc and one inc) are fine.
weird how random it is... all 5 devices are rooted, rom'ed etc..
3G is starting to come back for me. Its sketchy and slow but before as soon as it would pop up if I tried to use it it would flake out. Now it works most of the time but its like its really under a heavy load.

no its not. its the same thing. there is no functioning 4g network in the world. the "4g" that the networks are feeding us is just a slightly increase bandwidth aloted to certian phones. 4g is a gigabit network and requires different hardware in the towers. the load of crap that the networks are shoveling as "4g" is basiclly the same as you calling your cable company and increasing your cable modem speed. they are simply increasing the landline bandwidth to allow for increased use.
the problem comes from vzw not properly anticipating bandwidth demands after "4g" was launched.
Honestly I lost my 3G while messing around in the **772. I ended up just calling tech. They had to remove what ever identifys me on there 3g network. Then reactivate.. in seconds my 3g became active.... Though the tech was confused to why I was showing me roaming.... and yes data roaming was unchecked and system select set to home... But never the less I'm good now.....

Connected to 4g but not able to access internet

So , my problem started yesterday and whenever I connect to 4g I'm not actually able to connect to anything online. Everything works fine over 3g and WiFi but everytime I'm ok 4g , I get nothing . I live in Philadelphia , and in a 4g service area. I've tried a master reset and still nothing. Does anyone have a way to fix it . I tried a search but wasn't able to fond any info for my problem . Thanks in advance for all your help.

Having the same problem in the same area. I called Sprint just now, the rep said it wasn't the towers. I have a OG EVO, I'm about to power up and test out. If it works fine, I'm returning the 3D until they issue a fix. This one was a replacement for one that was running hot, but I noticed weak 4G speeds on that one also.
I actually went through your same ordeal on TWO 3vo's.....third one was a charm.. nothing will fix it, so you'll have to take it back to Sprint for a new one.

Thanks for the update. I'm from the philly area as well. I'm going to keep mine on 4g all day to see if i also get the intermittent connection. Sometimes it will work then sometimes it won't
I was having the same issues yesterday. I spent like 2 hours talking with Sprint doing ##3282# data profile restores until the 5th rep says it’s a nationwide issue. The connection showed full reception on my 3D and my wife's OG EVO, but the connection to the internet or any other data services was intermittent. Seems to be fine today.
this was working fine today but stopped working about an hour ago. anyone else have this issue???
you guys are not alone
sadly this is not only a evo 3d problem...i have an epic 4g and have been experiencing the same problems, the 4g connects yet no webpages will load and apps wont connect to the internet. 4g sometimes starts working again but then it stops again. If anyone can find out what the hell is going on it'll be a great help.
I've had issues where certain apps don't get internet access while on 4G but the web browser always seems to work. I know Scrabble from EA didn't like the 4G, and Google Music didn't either.
Johnbis. The same thing happened to me as well. During the same time frame. I'm still not able to get 4g as well.

Just reset it or wait it out; that usually solves most problems.
This is my second evo 3d, this one works fine till today, i work at Bethesda ,MD, the 3g works fine, my 4g no way this evening, they need to solve this problem asap, or else they are going to loose customer, evo 4g has good reputation, E3D please don't destroy that reputation.

I'm in Philly and I'm having the same issue (for the past two days now, actually). As of 9:53 EST in Center City Wimax is down, and it was down around 7:50 am today. Yesterday (Monday), I had connection problems from Noon to 4 (in Center City), but could connect to SpeedTest around 5:50 pm in Mt Airy.
If it is just the wimax cell sites being down, as opposed to a bad 4G attenca in my phone, does anyone know of a way to check besides calling Sprint? Their reps vary wildly in competence (or at the least, some suck at reading their memos/emails), and I don't want to have to call 80 of them to get a straight answer :/

Yeah, I noticed Someone had mentioned in this thread that he'd had two 3vos with busted antennas, so I'm a little worried (I've had an amazing streak of non-defective electronics purchases, and I'd hate for this phone to end my streak LOL).
As of 10:40 Am EST in downtown Philly, with 1 bar of 4G and 4 bars of signal strength, I have Wimax data transfer (3.20 Down and 0.07 up, 115ms ping). That's after updating my PRL then my profile while 4G was on. I'm guess they're currently working on getting the WImax cells up.

[Q] 4G cutting out since 6/4

Ever since around the 4th my 4g has been acting up like crazy. I live in Hollywood so I don't think it's a verizon issue. Has anyone else been having problems? I'm thinking maybe it was from an app update with a glitch in it? My phone is totally stock but I have around 400 apps (I know, too many, I can't help it...) I've gone through all of the app permissions looking for an app that can change my network connections but no luck so far. I know this is kind of a shot in the dark but if anyone else had this happen and figured it out that would be great. I'm open to suggestions.

The My Verizon App was recently updated (and removed the homescreen widget, so I didn't update mine), so that might have something to do with the problem.
Does 3G work fine?
I have been having this same problem, so is a friend on another device. When we switch to 3g, 4g never returns unless airplane mode is cycled.
My my verizon app is up to date but I still have the data widget. I haven't updated the "location agent" one though. I'm not sure about the 3g working...the 4g symbol just comes and goes so fast I don't think the phone has time to switch onto 3g. It doesn't happen 24/7 but when it does it's like a non stop cycle of on and off (like an app struggling to do something)..

So my daughter just recorded a 10 min video on its a small world. Next time I check my phone I have no 3 or 4 g just bars. I don't think anything of it until I'm elsewhere and my wife has 4g and I don't. I cycle my 4g widgetsoid and get service. Screen off and on and no Vs again. Airplane mode, same problem. Finally I put it in airplane, powered it off and did a battery pull. It's fine now.
I've tried turning the phone off, fully restarting it, pulling the battery, and cycling through airplane mode but I haven't tried pulling the battery off after powering down while in airplane mode though (that was a mouthful). Maybe that's the magic combination... I'll give it a shot and see what happens, thanks. I'll post if it helps out or not.

Had the same issue sporadically. Only app I've added since then is Firefox beta but seriously doubt that is to blame.
Actually had this issue this morning for a bit, then resolved on its own.
I have been having the issue of my 4g randomly dropping, 3g not kicking on (just signal bars), and the 4g coming back when it feels like it.
I did a battery pull, cycling the 4g, airplane mode, etc. and still having the same issue.
This started around Verizon's useless upgrade.

I also have had the worst 4g service the past week or so. I have a htc rezound and live in the suburbs of Detroit, MI. I have tried everything under the sun but cannot get it working. This is obviously a Verizon issue, because it started happening out of nowhere. I didn't download any nee apps or change any system settings. I don't understand why this is happening. I do not want a refurbed phone so I will not send mine in for a replacement. I'm sure that wouldn't even fix the issue. Verizon needs to get to work and figure this out.

My 4G is fine and I'm rooted and running a custom ROM (Ineffabilis 1.4).
Have you checked if 4G is enabled in your settings?
(Search for 4G toggle in the Play Store)
Some people reported that their phone disabled 4G in the settings for no reason.
Everything was fine for a couple days then all of a sudden it started acting up again...I have a feeling it's the new draw something free app...maybe..

Same issues here (multiple ROMs). 4G has been sporadic or non-responsive and 3G is about as bad. Started a couple weeks ago. I have tried hard resets, ROMs, firmware updates, etc and nothing.
Good to see I'm not the only one.
Any other Verizon devices that can confirm this?

Ok, so I've had the issue that the OP is talking about since I got the phone like 5 days ago. Since I wasn't rooted (and still aren't) I decided to call Verizon about the issue. I've talked to multiple Verizon techs and after they had me do basic steps, like checking wireless networks settings. Nothing they told me I hadn't tried myself already prior to calling them. I even got a replacement BRAND NEW rezound and sim card and am still having the same issue. I have decided to try and figure it out myself and have been running various logcats to try and narrow the issue down. Problem is I don't really know how to read these logs too well. If there was someone who has more knowledge in reading logcat logs id be happy to upload or send them to you if you think you can help. Any help in resolving this issue would be awesome as Verizon seems to be unaware of the issue up until now and I would like to resolve it before I root. I'm going to give them a call tonight and explain some of my findings to see if they can give anymore input or get me to a higher lvl tech.

Lol apps do NOT cause data to cease or "hang". It appears to be Verizon as I have been having 4g issues on stock gb and ics.

According to my findings, it very well could be. I'm thinking it may have something to do with vznavigator. But don't quote me on that as from what I said before, I don't know how to read logcats too well.

Yeah I'm still having issues. There must be something going on with verizon? I haven't dealt with logging yet but I'll look into it and see what happens.

Bad signal with non sense ROMS

First off I am s-on 1.15 I have been flashing sense based ROMS flawlessly. I have tried flashig both CMX as well as Paranoid Android. Each time flashing boot.IMG through fastboot first. Everything runs smooth. Although my signal is horrible. Where on all sense based ROMS I'm getting great 3g service I may have 1 bar and on the status bar it will say no data connection instead of sprint pcs or whatever. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.Thanks in advance for any advice.

Update. I read Another post where someone had similar problem. I updated prl and profile. Will test out tomorrow. Off to bed. And I don't have very good service here at home regardless

Could it be an issue with the towers in your area? Sense roms are kind of jacked when it comes to reporting signal strength. Htc removed the 1x icon because they claimed it was confusing to customers, they also changed the way it reports the signal polling much like Apple did with their Iphones. There are a couple of apps although I dont remember them off the top of my head, one is crowd sourced and they record data for gprs (1x, 3g) gps, wimax, lte, wifi as well I believe and they graph the listings, another one will show real time information for signal polling.
I am not sure. Anything is possible. I live in a remote area where service is kinda spotty at home anyway. Although my wife has iPhone 4s through sprint as well. Where she will be showing 3-4 bars 3g. But I am running flex stock Rom with sense 4.1 and it definitely seems better . I will definitely look into the apps and see if that shows anything.

I really jinxed myself, I was thinking Im glad Im not that guy everything works and now 3g is dropping like crazy.
Are you in a LTE market? I've heard that when there working on upgrading 3g signals have been reported dropping. I am in between the Atlanta market and the Nashville Tn market. I'm hoping I will see some LTE soon. But like I stated my wife's is working great. I'm hoping my 3g problem hasn't infected you.

I am but theres no LTE here, there wont be for quite some time, the towers for my area are severely neglected, about 2 months ago they had just brought 3g back up and it had been down for a month and a half, i was roaming practically 2 weeks straight before the service started to come back intermittently
