[Q] 4g issues (full bars constantly 4g rotating on and off) - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so i have an interesting problem verizon cant figure out so maybe someone else here has run into it. Im in an extended 4g network but it is here. I have full service -75 or better db and the 4g symbol just constantly switches on and off (and data does the same) I turned off 4g for now, and Im heading to NYC for work tomorrow night so i can test it there. It could be the towers here, could be my phone, could be the sim just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

yeah my phone does this all the time. I had my phone switched out for an issue and both phones before rooting had 0 4G issues, and consistently did 20-30 down, and now do maybe 5-6 and 4G cuts in and out. I am assuming it is because of the PRL.
what PRL do you have? I have 15008. I was going to check our stock demo thunderbolt at work tomorrow and see what it has as it is still much faster than my phone has been after rooting.

Just went to VZW store with the idea to swap the phone. When i told them about 4G cutting in and out, they said, VZW is working on software update/patch, and it will be send out "soon". So, there is no need to exchange the phone, because before that update, i would have exactly the same problem with the new one. But, when it is going to be pushed out - that they cannot tell.......so, i decide to call Tech Support, and they told me the exact thing........the wait is the killer.....

same prl and mine did it rooted and non rooted. 15008 should be stock i think. Ill let yall know how it goes in NYC tomorrow night, if i have steady service the whole time it will point towards individual towers dropping signal.

You might need a new sim card, I had the same problem.

I have had the same problem with 4g and 3g being inconsistent and constantly swithing back and forth since the network issue last Thursday. It seems to be much better today for some reason that isn't clear to me. I have also noticed that my PRL goes between 1 and 15008 completely at random. My friend just got his t-bolt today and it came with a PRL of 15011 out of the box so I know there is at least one other PRL floating around that may help resolve these issues. All I can really confirm is that I feel your pain and aggravation. I'm going to keep a close eye on my data tomorrow since it magically seemed to work better late today and let you know if I figure anything out as to why mine suddenly seems better. I have to assume that Verizon is sorting out all these issues and is slowly rolling out tower updates but who knows at this point.
Also, I am completely stock and ripinning the stock radio config (no ##778# or other changes).

[Q] San Diego / So Cal - anyone else having major data problems

Anyone else in San Diego or Socal having major data issues. Started around 9pm 4G icon but no data. I've rebooted several times including removing the SIM card. I'm now getting now data icon with occasional 1x. Just wondering if it's the network or my phone.

What are are you in if you don't mind me asking? I was up in Rancho Bernardo earlier this evening and everything seemed fine. Started noticing issues when I got near Kearny Mesa/Tierrasanta.
I have the same problem here in LA, just shows 1X.

Oh forgot to include location, I am in lakeside which always holds really good 4g and like you said between 9-10pm I looked down and see 1x but it keeps going in and out as I type this.
Note: looking at perfect storm thread in development others are having issues across the US of A. So looks as if it's widespread enough that must be VZW issue, at least for some of us.

I'm so happy I'm not alone. I just finished flashing the stock PGIMG05.ZIP file found in this forum and when it booted up it said, "mobile network type cdma 1xrtt." Now, I'm on 1x. What gives?
I'm in Santa Monica, CA, and am stuck on 1xRTT. Definite inconvenice, but not the end of the world. At least I can still make calls and do SMS.
Is this just SoCal, or the whole state/country?
Thanks guys. Looks like there are a few reports from various regions of the country in the CM7 thread as well.

Do you think trying a different radio would help? That's a whole reason why I flashed over to stock, because the previous radio leaks were giving me problems.
Looks like it's probably a Verizon network issue. I'm on stock radio FWIW.
I am in the same boat in my location. The 4g icon went off for a while, and all of a sudden its just a 1x icon. I restarted my phone, to no avail.
So far I can receive and place calls, so that's good.
Here's what I'm running. Does anyone see that the error could be on my part?

As most are aware both the LTE network and eHPRD are down (a special version of 3G for the Thunderbolt only). To get 3G data back you just need to change your settings back to the normal 3G network. Here are the steps:
Dial ##778# and hit send
A pop-up window named EPST will show up giving you 2 choices: View Mode and Edit Mode. Pick: Edit Mode.
Enter the Password: 000000
Go down to Modem Settings and pick “Rev A“
You’ll want to choose enable and click OK, hit the menu button and then press “Commit Modifications.”
I hope this helps anyone that is left in the dark by this outage.
edit 2 suggested by NDK: one more step guys, if you are on auto cdma/lte settings, you might have to go in to
*#*#4636#*#* and select EVDO only to get 3g.
My thunderbolt worked on auto cdma/lte but this may cause less conflict.
Same here in Honolulu, HI. At 1x here since this afternoon even in 3g only area's. It's weird that the whole country is experiencing this.

Detroit
No data except 1X here in Detroit, which has a very strong 4G signal. I can confirm my company has a traditional 3G repeater and I cannot connect to that either (which i normally can). I guess I will wait it out but I was afraid my DAS BAMF kernel could have been the culprit (Thank God its not, I love DASBAMF!).

Consistently slow 3G speeds!

My data speeds using the Speedtest app are between .10-.30 mbps download on 3G consistently.
At the very beginning of the tests it looks like a good download speed, and within a couple of seconds, it always drops down to the .10-.20 range, and stays there until the end of the test.
My wifes Evo 4g in the same spot is getting consistent .90-1.2 mbps.
Updated PRL/Profile/Re-started/Removed battery ect several times - No changes.
Anyone have any ideas? I might be taking it back for another one....
Edit/Delete Message
Was curious about speeds since I've seen a few threads. My 3G speeds are notorious for being ****ty at home. Like what you are getting. Well I think something changed. I just ran 3 tests and well the results are:
1.08
1.26
1.48

same here, my old evo got 56k speeds here at the house but the 3d is getting about 250-300k
I had a similar problem and had the dancing signal bars issue where it was all over the place. Then I restarted my phone for the first time after keeping it on and never shutting it off for a full day and it fixed itself.
I have the EXACT issue...
My co worker still has her EVO 4G (what I just came from) and her 3G speeds are ~1000kbps while mine are EXACTLY 125kbps every time!
Something is wrong here. I'm almost certain my speeds is capped for some reason. The *2 people were clueless. I had one tell me "the phone is 3D so it might be downloading 3D everything and that could slow it down".
Totally clueless. They told me I have to take it in to a Sprint store to "run diagnostics". So I'll be doing that. If they can't fix it then I'm switching back to my EVO 4G.
I also only get between .1 - .3 mbps on 3G, and absolutely terrible latency (600-900ms).
I've restarted the phone several times and I test it each day, and I've done it in several different places. 4G seems fine, I consistently get between 4 - 5mbps.
This is my first sprint phone though so I don't have anything to compare it against except my previous verizon phone which got between 1 - 2mbps on 3G.
Hey guys, check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153371
I have done this with success on 3 evo 3D's, sounds hoaky but give it a shot!
Check if your EVDO setting is on Automatic instead of CDMA. I did the Data Profile reset and it sets EVDO to CDMA. Pings were 800-900ms on CDMA. Switched it to Automatic and pings are back in the 90-120ms.
I was getting under 100kbps for the last month...
And then tonight I've hit 2140kbps
Maybe sprint listen to my *****ing and did something or fixed something but i never hit that much with att,Verizon, or tmobile in my area...
I'm a happy camper
(sorry to rub it in your face if it seems that way)

New PRL 51082

Im still in the original rooted. 5 update and had the 51081 prl. I just updated it and im on 51082 and just wanted to share. I didn't see a thread about it or maybe im just blind. Signal was already really strong and im always full bars! Gotta love the radio in this phone. Anyways, go update your prl in system updates if you haven't already
http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/3586/20111013184300.jpg
Any idea what it does? Probably more network shrinkage...
Thanks for the heads up - I personally never saw the significance of the PRL updates (either on the photon and past HTC Touch Pro 2) on Sprint... Of course, nonetheless I do them anyways
How have you noticed reception changes? i.e. any actual "dead spots" that turned out to be otherwise after some PRLs?
My bars are supposedly better. 4 bars out of 6 instead of 1 or 2.

Well to be honest my 3G speeds at home are usually around. 92 but ive been testing for the last 3 hours and im getting 1.5mbps now? Is this a coincidence or maybe no one is using their phones atm lol. Ive NEVER hit beyond 1mb EVER. Ill report back tomorrow to see if its the prl...
Still 81 here but I can say that speeds have been inconsistent but significantly better lately.

Umm get 82? Lol
Well, the iPhone launches soon. Remember, it has no 4G so Sprint better get its 3G shiate together or it's gonna get a lot of those fruity devices coming back to the Sprint tree (notice how they recently shortened the remorse period, hmmmm....).
In the past few years 3G service with Sprint has really gone downhill and 4G coverage, particularly in-building is, well, rather pitiful (where it even exists).
I'm gonna have to update mine now. Am as we speak. :]
Edit.
And after it "updated" I'm still on 81. Hm......And after that, did it again, and I'm at 82. Sweet. :]

"-54 dBm 0 asu" here. settings > about phone > status
Thank you for posting this!
Mine is at -89 dBm 0 asu I have full bars an fast 3g 1.5 mb download.
When I had the PRL 51081 a used to have full bars most of the time but when I updated to 51082 my bars when down in most places and my 3g was slower, I installed PRL 11115, a Business only PRL, and I went back with full bars and better 3g speeds plus when I force roam with verizon I have 3G. Now this mopho rocks!
Business prl? Are business prl's "better" than the standard user issue?
edit: found out the difference is that business prl allows 3g roaming in limited areas that the standard prls do not.
Yes, the business prl lets you use the verizon's 3G when you are roaming and in some areas I see my calls go through a lot faster, that is why is only for business.
In my case, here in Florida, I have 3G all over with verizon and in most of the times my download speed is 1.5 MB/s.

(Q) crazy slow data speeds

So i have noticed that when I have been at school the data seems very slow, almost to the point we're it is unusable so I decided to run a speed test and I was shocked by how slow it really was. Just look at this

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Could be a carrier problem. If you have others around you that have smart phones and are on the same carrier, ask them to run the speed tests and see if they get the same results. If so, call your carrier to open a trouble ticket to have it checked.
it's probably an isolated "local" problem because im getting great lte speeds.
It's ONLY in my school. I besides that I always have good speeds, even on 3g

4G hasn't happened in my area so 3G and wifi is all I get. However, 3G is not that slow. Just ran speedtest and got 617 down and 697 up.
The speeds the OP is showing are definitely a problem. If there is only one cell tower servicing the area around your school there could be an isolated network issue. Not sure if it still works but you used to be able to dial #tt and get straight through to network support to find out.

I just tried #tt and it is no longer a valid command. No one else in my school gets such terrible data speeds but me and I'm wondering if it is due to throttling because I've used about 4gb this month and my school is not very techy and even though many people have smart phones most don't use a whole ton of data.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Now when you say your the only one in your school that gets slow speeds is that compared to other Verizon users? Or comparing to AT&T, T-mo and Sprint? Personally I myself would be only concerned if yours is the only Verizon phone that has such a slow speed.
I myself work in public education, I am a onsite tech at 4 Elementary Schools and I work in a newer developed area in our district and with that AT&T and T-mo can be spotty in the schools I cover. And because of how the buildings are my phones get hit pretty hard with searching for signal because of where my office is at in each of the schools, but I get the best connection compared to the other carriers. I actually have a T-mo provided work phone that I actually just forward to my Verizon phone so I can actually get my work calls. Either way, it could just be the building your in causing issues, but if there are other Verizon users that are having the problem then that's probably the case. And even then it might just be the rezound getting interference from something, possibly even the wireless that you have at the school.
Or could be the ROM, but if you have other verizon friends with no issue, and a rezound friend without the issue, I would say get it replaced at Verizon.
the school building is probably hurting your speeds... as in concrete walls lol

[Q] Data running really slow (AT&T)

I just recently moved from Arkansas to California and figured they would have a little bit faster 4G and what not.. Well here in my house there is 4G but it only has one bar.. While trying to send random text or especially a MMS picture, it will send extremely slow, for a smaller picture MMS it has taken up to 45 minutes of sitting still with 2 bars of 4G HSPA and not sent.
I'm not sure if it is something I had done to my phone or what.. I did put a separate ROM on there, but I do have it rooted+CWM on there, so I backed it up. Now I put it back onto the back up and it just is insanely bad for the problems on service and what not. I restored it and the slow service and texting is still an issue.
Also the phone calls are pretty bad as well no matter where I am.
Could it be the messaging app?
Could it be the horrible service in this house and around it here and there?
Even if I have full bars its still kinda sheity.
Also, they 4G or and of the different service pictures next to your bars don't show up and when they do, the do not flash like they're sending or receiving.

You would think Cal would have the better service ..? Have you tried resetting your apn in the apn settings?
Have you tried stock to see how the connection is, have to look around don't remember seeing modems. I know in the Infuse forums we had listing for all modems so you can flash to see what was best in your area, diff area's have diff connections as you can see...
Try different rom or modem. Or like bigjoe suggested, flash back to stock. Check your apn setting. Depend on where in Cali, the speed will be varied. I have around 10 mbs constantly on my note. Some good day, can get up to 22 mbs depending on traffic.
I agree with BigJoe. Grab a few modems and also the speednet app. try the modems and test the connection speeds.
Doesn't the volume of users on the network cut into the speed? I think our network in CA is pretty packed, more than Arkansas.

Yeah it seems that way. I went to visit my city where i am originally from the midwest, a suburb near Chicago and I had excellent signal everywhere I went.
As for where I live in Cali now is the Bakersfield area. I reset the APNs and it shot on EDGE for a few seconds acting like it was sending, then popped onto HSPA for a of second and stopped showing the animation of it sending (the lines going in and out of the 4G sign)
Also, does anyone know of any place where it has a list of MODEMS for AT&T, does it have to be specifically for the Note or can it be from another AT&T phone?
I'm not the most advanced at all of this, but I am a pretty dang good google master at fixing and finding things.
The latest ICS modem is the ULCF5 from the leak. In the development section Electton73 made a flashable version:

You need CWM and boot into recovery to flash.

Copy those exactly.
Removing and putting back the SIM might help.
