So my 4g on my razor is going in and out. Its there one minute then gone the next. It is rooted and running stock. Any ideas? I can reboot the phone or toggle 4g it comes back but then goes away again later
Could be your coverage area. Where are you?
omaha ne. also just shooting this outthere but does it toggle 3g/4g when batery gets to a certain point?
Ive been having a similar problem. Think it is a service issue. The network was down the other day in some parts. Im right on the fringe of 4g but never had a problem with signal. Woke up this morning and no data.
Ok. Looks like its a service thing here. Its been back on great now i tbink its strong in some places and not in others lol
Its verizon. Been going on for a week

So I don't live in a 4G area. But yesterday while at work I noticed I had a 4g signal. Did speed test and downloads were great. Now today I'm not reading a 4g signal, what gives? By the way I did root my phone last night, you think that has something to do with it?

Verizon tests the 4g and turns it off...like a trial.. i wouldnt be suprised if you saw the signal today and it went away again
Also, they are rolling out dozens of cities in the next few months, and I don't know that their coverage map will necessarily be kept up to date. You could end up in a 4G area before anyone bothers to tell you.
Well I hope they turn it back on soon. Nice to have 4g at work. Maybe I should go find the switch and turn it back on!
has anyone else had issues with 4g turning off randomly? the first several days i had this phone, i could get a 4g signal anywhere in my apartment. i know because i had serious issues with sprint signal in my apartment, so i practically haven't put this phone down since i got it.
yesterday i was tethering on 4g a lot and when i disabled tethering the 4g radio turned off and i just had two bars, but it didn't say 4g OR 3g. i went into the settings dialing *#*#4636#*#* or whatever it is and enabled LTE only mode (it had been on 3g/4g auto). when i did that, i had 4g for about 30 seconds to a minute and then it went to 3g. same thing happened this morning. maybe they are playing with the towers because as im typing this i see i have auto switched back to 4g. hmm.

I received my TB on Friday afternoon and had 4G all day and night until this morning. Woke up, powered the phone on and had only 3G. 4G came back after an hour or so.
I bought mine last week and didn't have any problems until this morning. For the first time I left the power off overnight and when I turned it back on I couldn't get a 3G or a 4G signal. It's been an hour now and I still don't have a signal. I've commuted from Maryland to DC in that time so it's not the area.
Same here. Mines been going on off all morning. Im in tampa
sent from my Tbolt.
I'll note that I'm in Chicago, but 4g seems solid again now (fingers crossed).

this is discussed in multiple threads already, you might search them out, but yes, many have the issue. I have that issue specifically that you mention, but even more frustrating also get time where the 4G icon is there, and there is zero data connectivity; all apps show "network connection required".
Sems like LTE isn't rock-solid service yet.
I have the same problem after I rooted last night. I had 4G everywhere in my house. Now I get mostly 1X and maybe 3G if I am lucky. The radio version was much higher before.
Same Here
I called Verizon. there is a known issue with 4g Tbolt. they said they are working on it. Coworkers with 3g phones are having no issues. I am still getting 1x if i am lucky. Chicago area.
glad to know i'm not alone with this, in metro nyc area (commuting between nj/nyc)
I am also have the same problem as of this morning. Just called Verizon and they said they are working on it. Now my phone is stuck on 1X I am in Queens NY right now coming from the Bronx...funny thing when I power down the phone and turn it back on it stays on 4G for about a second and disconects
I am also having issues with 4G going in and out. I had not had any issues until this morning and it was a bit worrisome as I just rooted last night and I was afraid something I had done might have caused an issue. But it seems like a national problem being addressed, so I'll just wait it out I guess.

I had the same problem this morning going from MD to DC. I was worried it was my phone. All seems well now. Getting 15 down now.
Still seem to be having issues in NY

is this a network problem or phone problem?
Stuck on 1x as well, outside Philly. Hoping it's not just me.
I'm having same issue,but mine happened just after I rooted my phone.Before rooting I had never seen my phone go into 3G mode,but now it goes to 1x or nothing.Hopefully its an issue on Verizon's end and not my phone.
In Detroit, also on 1x.

I am also experiencing this issue as of this morning in Northern VA. I guess early adopters have to expect some type of issue.
Seems to be network related... At least not the phone
Yup confirmed with tech support, there's a nationwide outage with 4g data and they are working it with the highest priority, the tech said. Ah the costs of new technology. Always will have issues at start.
I have no clue what the issue is, but the past two/three days, my 4g has been going in and out. As a matter of fact, as I sit here... I'm on 1x with 4 bars behind it, full battery life, on Pennsylvania Ave in Washington DC.
Anyone else having 4g issues?
same here. even if i have two bars on 4g all of sudden my data connection drops then goes to 3g and a second later switches back to 4g. its annoying as hell when im tryin tether or download something from the market.
I am having problems again since last night. Had almost two days of good 4G signal. Now I can barely get 3G.
Called VZW they said there has been a trouble ticket for Thunderbolt data since yesterday and hope to have it resolved today.
I think they're tweaking it or something. I'm changing in between every 30 seconds. That in itself drains the battery a buttload.
Something is rotten in Denmark with this new network. I can force 3G only but if I leave the thing set to CDMA/LTE, it can't figure out which it wants. Which is pretty much killing all data. Luckily, wifi is an option. I hope they get this new network figured out soon. More LTE devices are slated to drop soon (bet there will be delays).
I was constantly in a state of 1x today. My battery was eaten up it a mere 5 hours... gulp
hell im on verizons 4g map at home here and havent been able to get 4g at all.Ive had the phone for two weeks now and have called verizon about this,,they tried pushing some data info to my phone to no avail,,so i guess im on record now according to the rep and she did admit that this is a work in progress...yes thank god for wifi.
double post?

Mine has been flakier than usual today and this week. I'm on K and 1st NE. But I also never get more than 2 bars here in the office.
If i were you i'd call verizon tech support and ask them if where you are is currently under 4g. I've had the same issue and my address on the coverage map shows that i have 4g but it kept going in and out. Called VZW and they have a different coverage map that they see and he said where i was located i was 1 mile away from the coverage area so thats why it kept switching. Just my luck huh lol
im in NYC and i tried to flash a bamf.1.8 rom and was stuck on 1x after that. i thought it was the rom so i flashed cm7 rc06. again and 1x still. so is this a verizon issue?
Lots of us are going back and forth between 1x & 3g, and i'm in constant 4g area. Verizon must be working

Is your back cover on the phone? - It has the antenna and without it...it will not connect to 4G from my experience.
Then again, I'm in Bay area California and right now I have 1x since 12am. - I'm perplexed with the case because I didn't do anything since I just arrived back from Lake Tahoe about 4hrs ago.
*Possible that it's a Verizon outage issue. - Nice to see this since I just moved away from Sprint to grandfather this LTE unlimited data.. Never had one outage while with Sprint XD
Hope that they get it together!
I noticed it's been on 1X for awhile this evening as well. I attempted a battery and sim pull and let it sit for a bit but it was still on 1X when I put it all back and rebooted a few minutes later. If others in different areas of the country are experiencing the same then it's probably something on Verizon's end.
I think it's Verizon
I think it's Verizon. because I'm in San Diego and normally get 6 bars of 4G and not I'm getting 6 bars of 1X and 3 secs of 3G. I thought I had messed something up when i flashed the MR2.5 Radio then I went back to MR2 and same thing and then you guys have the same problem too. So I know I'm good now lol.
Running Gingeritits
im here in so cali and im getting 1x also and sometimes not even that. for a second i was abuot to curse my gingeriitis. how dare i even think such naughty thoughts. its all verizon. maybe they are getting some 4g towers near me.....ok probably not.
I had this happen to me this morning. I rebooted and my 3g came back. Not sure about 4g since I don't get a strong signal at work.

Jumping from 3g, 4g and 1x this morning in Atlanta, now its all 4g
I agree. Must be working on the network. Some days i get stuck on 1x and then it will go to 3G. I am on 4G right now without any issues. I just flashed GB with the newest radio leak and its smooth so far.
Yeah I was still stuck on it til this morning but I did a reboot and on 4G
Live in upstate NY... for the times that we even had data it was 1X and only 3G for like a second. it was killing me cause I rooted for the first time and I thought I killed my radio.. I could make calls but no data.
I figured by the way it would come and go that they were working. Same thing when EVDO came. They screw around at night all the time and then try to clean up their mess by the AM. You'd have no signal some signal.. and then holy **** moments where you would have like full signal in areas where you never get full signal... When they get to playin they go nuts.
everything gravey here in So Cal
Hi I used to have the S3, obviously I have the Note2, I notice that the location of work in nyc area had constant 4G all day. Now it bounces 3G most of the time. So what I did it checked mobile networks from global to LTE..
Is that right or should I leave it to global. When on global it searches for a better signal all the time. Maybe my sim card is bad??
Are there any issues with the radio, baseband, software issues?
Maybe my phone has an issue with the antenna?
I actually in fact live in NYC as well (downtown manhattan to be specific) and in my area, when i start to drive out, I bounce to 3G then eventually to 4G. Its everytime I drive out. Not sure if its the path or something .Doesn't really bother me because I shouldn't be using this beast while driving but just noticed if that helps.
Great to hear from you, neighbor! Yes some odd reason the phone bounces in & out 3G then 4G. Its annoying....But I thought it was just me.

I live in Florida and I was noticing my phone jump from 4g to 3g and back yesterday while at home where I normally have solid 4g.
I found the opposite. Cincinnati Ohio tho but my 4G is rock solid on my note II and was ehhhhh on my GSIII

Glad to hear I'm not alone...I was ready to bring the phone back.
I guess the Samsung phones don't have a great antennas. My partner has a Motorola Bionic, his phone is 4G, all day. Other partner has a Rezound his is 3G but full signal strength.
We have the same signal bars strength wise. But his is 4G mine is 3G.

Outside of Philly and my phone was randomly going into 3G the other night. I think it's network related as I restarted and had 4G back.

Yes I too had to restart the phone and I would get 4G.
Wouldn't that be an issue with the sim card at that point? I wouldnt think its the phone because the sim is what recognizes Verizon LTE networks?
Cirrect me if I'm wrong, I want to figure this out.

Restarting causes the phone to re-authenticate with the network. Picking up 4G again is likely just luck of the draw. If a local tower (or towers) are having problems, you may keep 4G until there is an issue, then it'll disappear again until you swap towers, toggle airplane mode, or restart the phone. Without talking to VZW though, there is no telling if it is a network issue, or a device issue. Given the number of people that have seen problems recently though, I'm going to go with network issue.
I have 4G issues as well, seems just a day or so after rooting. I haven't seen 4G since; I've restarted several times, pulled sim card, put in airplane mode. I think I need the "get a new sim card" fix. I am rooted but no roms installed; does anyone know should I go full stock before walking into the store and asking for a new card? Or will I be ok since it's only rooted?
I had 4g issues this morning and this evening (in boston); reboots restored but i have no doubt this is verizon crap; my razr periodically had the same issue. At work i had no 4g issues. Drives me batty - I think the only fix is for at&t to record these issues and start using them in advertisements

Ok..I just replaced my sim from Verizon. They told me there was a bad batch of sims. So they gave me the 2nd batch. Please don't quote me, because that guy was a sales person who tries to sell me everything in the store...lol
I will let everybody know within a day or two.

when i have lte issues I'll throw my phone in airplane mode for a couple seconds, then take it off. works most of the time for me.

I'm no longer having issues, in fact I'm now seeing 4g in areas that were only 3g before. I think it was just network related.
EDIT: See you got it sorted out. Sorry for the bump.
I've noticed over the past few days that I've really been bouncing around a lot. Seems to go through phases.
