Okay so here's my deal. In my area I know that we have 4G, but my phone doesn't pick it up, its only on 3G. Sometimes if I play around with the hidden service menu I can pick up 4G but as soon as I send a text message, it switches to 1X until I reboot into CDMA+LTE/EVDo. Even when selecting that mode, I only pick up 3G even though I'm in a 4G area. Some background info: I'm on GB firmware and radios and running NeoMax 1.1 based on the latest leak. I'm also S-On. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Yeah, if you've tried everything else, you should run the RUU (your choice, but why not run the latest leak) and then do a factory reset from hboot...with the stock recovery. That has helped a lot of people.

Alright well I'm trying to mess with the service menu again, rebooting it now and just cleared cache and dalvik. Gonna see if this does anything. If it doesn't, i'll factory reset in the morning.
turned out while changing radios to debug SMS delay I borked 4g. flashed stock recovery,cleared storage/factory reset,flashed amon ra,flashed random ics rom,xfer internal stuff I backed up,wiped everything,restored viperrez backup and all good with 4g working
I'm completely stock and this keeps happening to me randomly. Super frustrating when I know I normally have 4g and it happens (home, work, anywhere)
I went in and they put in a new SIM but it still happens.

I'm stuck in a pickle where my phone won't roam anymore unless i go in to do some manual switching on things. From what I'm told the fixe is to ruu and re-provision to fix it. Of course though nobody is elaborating on exactly what the re-provisioning is? Anybody hook me up?

It's either activate device in the settings menu or call Sprint to have them re-add the phone to their system, basically start fresh from the networks perspective.

Ok so I'm having this same issue. I cannot get my phone to roam with data! I used the 11115 prl for a while and after the radio update I haven't been able to get my phone to roam correctly! I've done a full reset, reprovision, etc.... Nothing seems to be working! Help!
I live in a 3g only area, and today my phone has started showing 4g sporadically.
When the phone shows 4g my data stops working and then all data cuts out and 3g comes back.
I'm running viper Rom with snuzzo kernel. Could this be a software issue? The Verizon website does not have my city listed for current or upcoming 4g availability.

if you know you are in a city with no 4g and dont plan on getting it soon, why not change it to CDMA only? The phone might think its getting a signal from a 4g tower and its causing it to switch like that

This has never happened before today, so I was hoping it was me getting 4g in my area.....
I tried the cdma only setting, and my data as a whole is spotty now. My wife's thunderbolt is doing the same thing now.
Is this what its like when they flip the 4g switch? Does anybody else remember when 4g came on in there area?

they might be testing the 4g radio in your area and it that might be causing it. give it a couple of days, if it doesnt fix you might want to as a vzw rep. for me it was back when tbolt launched when we got 4g
What ROM are you using? I know that on some ROMS, like cyanogenmod, it's actually best to keep phone on the setting that supports multiple data modes.
I live in a town of 15k and we just got 4G, so u may get it after all...

I've noticed on mine that I could have a strong roaming signal on Verizon, but if the phone even catches a whiff of a Sprint signal, it tries to switch to Sprint and data is lost. When it's doing that, roam only fixes it as you've noticed.

Well if his phone roams fine in roam only mode, then the prl is fine.
What's likely happening is what Coal said. If your phone is on automatic, it tries it's hardest to stay on sprint at all times. Even if the signal is very very low, it will try to stay on it at all costs. Of course, we all know that's not how it should be, as that just kills the battery. I don't know if this is a rom issue or just a phone issue. You could try flashing back to a GB rom and see if it's any better.

It may be trying to stay on sprint but I literally was out of the sprint network for 3 hours and had no service, none. So I am leaning towards a ROM glitch or maybe radio but I dont know much about the radio part.

Maybe is is Android 4.0+ or the new firmware because I used to travel through a bad spot on the way to work and woudl roam, for a while now I just loose signal now even though I am on automatic.

Weird thing that I have noticed is,
I have perfect LTE (25MBps up) when I run Stock Android 4.2. CyanogeMod 10.1
Any Sense Rom I run it has no LTE. When I select CDMA/LTE it won't connect to Data at all. When I select CDMA it will connect to 3G.
I hate it and have never found a fix for it. So I am stuck on 10.1 with not a lot of updates. Which is fine, but I like to switch back to Sense everyone once in a while and when I do I am forced to use only 3G.

No, if I remember correctly you're picking up sprint lte, it just thinks it's verizon or whatever carrier you're roaming on.
Also, OP, have you tried switching to another phone, then switching back? I know that sounds weird but my brother was having data issues on his virgin mobile phone and that's how he fixed the issue lol

No. Your 2G network which controls voice is roaming. However your phone has an established 4G network connection. Sort of like being on wifi and roaming. Your calls go through the 2G network while the data is being handled by your wifi/4G. Those signal bars are strictly for your 2G connection. 3G and 4G have their own connection which is not viewable unless you dig into ## settings from dial pad. Sprint don't have any 4G roaming agreements with any other carrier.

Try putting your Sim card in someone else's phone that has LTE. If they only get 3G, it's your card. Of they still get 4G, it's something else with your phone causing the problem.

Something similar is happening to me. I'm on Carbonrom 1.8. 4g just stopped working. Have been reading around trying to get fixes. Got a new SIM card from Verizon and it still didn't fix it.
In my phone status it says I'm on CDMA - eHRPD:14, I believe this indicates I truly am on 3g. If it were 13 it'd be 4g. I think I have that right. I haven't come across much that's helpful although it seems this isn't that rare of an issue. Trying to fix as much of it as I can on my own. I've yet to revert back to stock. Have tried going to Beanstown, that did more harm than good (broke sms and didn't go to 4g).

Beans ROM is basically stock if you went to that and still didn't have 4G then there is something wrong with your phone. Try the dialer fix (Dialing the number posted above) and if that doesn't work I would start thinking about a warranty replacement.

Most likely would have happened anyways. Rooting and ROMing don't touch the modems that control your cell signal.
