WiFi Problem? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just picked up a Thunderbolt from a local Verizon corporate store. The sales rep told me NOT to use WiFi on my phone because of an issue all Thunderbolts are having. She said once connected to WiFi, it won't be able to switch back to 3G unless you perform a factory reset. It sounds like a load of crappy to me, but I'd rather play it safe. Can anyone confirm or deny this out there? Thanks in advance!

I think I've read about a few people having that issue, but simply switching airplane mode on and off fixes it, I believe.
Pretty sure that rep didn't know what the hell she was talking about. I think it's a safe bet these and other boards would be blowing up if there was a problem as massive as that affecting ALL Thunderbolts.
And my wifi is fine!

yea mine doesnt want to switch back to 3g but a simple restart does the trick, and some vzw reps are idiots deff no factory reset

I use wifi all the time, no problems here.

I use WiFi at home and 3G when i'm at work, i have no problem switching between the two, the sales rep that you were talking to doesn't know what he was talking about

Same here no problems switching from wifi to 3G or to 4G

I've heard people complain about this, but the solution for now seems to be turning airplane mode on and back off. From what I've seen it's not a super common problem, I've never had an issue.

Yup, no problems here.

Sometimes my wifi stops working even when its been on all day. It shows its connected and I have a strong signal, but when I try to use an app that needs a connection the app wont connect. The only thing that fixes it is turning wifi off and back on again. On top of that I noticed huge drains on my battery when this happens.

same thing happens to me. then if I turn off my Wi-Fi sometimes to try and get a 3g connection it takes like 10-15 tries to get a data connection. And even sometimes when that happens I'll turn my Wi-Fi back on and my Wi-Fi acts buggy, doesn't connect... I'll have to try the airplane mode trick

I have the same problem. Changing the EPST setting as found from an Engadget Post:
HTC Thunderbolt 3G data problems solved?

Sort of fixed the problem. However, I rooted to Tesla Coil and now cannot use the "##778#" easter egg dialer anymore.
Just tried the Airplane mode and phone rebooted, doh. Again, after starting up WiFi, no 3G coverage.

No problems here. I use wifi 90% of the day. Although, strangly my router now shuts off its wifi signal ever since I bought this phone. I have to go into my router and setup the network again.

[Q] Mobile Data Drop - Not Suspect To Outage

In the past two weeks, my mobile data has been down. I don't believe it to be an outage in my area due to the duration of the problem, and the inconsistency with other Verizon Wireless phones. I was running Juice Defender for a while, and every now and then I would notice that the Mobile Network would drop. Toggling the Mobile Network would not fix the problem, either. I usually cleaned out my cached data for the Juice Defender app, turned the app off, then toggled airplane mode once. (Sometimes just toggling Airplane Mode wouldn't fix it, therefore I had to clear the cache for the app.) Now this fails to work. I cannot get my mobile network to connect by any conventional means. When I receive MMS messages, my network will connect long enough to download the attachment. Also when I do a search for a Software Update, it connects just long enough to tell me there aren't any updates for my phone. I've tried updating my PRL with *228 and I've even tried *18 from a post over at Droid Forums. Neither work. I've removed the battery and SIM Card as suggested in some other threads here at XDA. I've also removed the Juice Defender app.
The phone is not rooted and has never been rooted with the Temp Root methods. I'm not opposed to rooting, but if I root, I'm gonna perm root and I would rather not have to factory reset my phone if I don't have to right now. I'm mainly posting this because I cannot find anyone online with the same issue that I am having. Any help would be appreciated. Personally, I think its an issue with Dalvik-VM. I can attach a copy of my LogCat if needed. Any ideas on my issue? Thanks in advance!
Check your power settings, if you are in economy mode it will mess with your data connection.
I have a paid version of JuiceDefender, it has caused me so many problems I don't even bother to install it anymore.

I also have the same issue, tried a couple basebands and could not fix it. I ended up not using it...
Every once in a while my mobile network or just lte somehow gets turned off and I have to turn it back on, but that's rare.
I tried juIce Defender and also had problems losing my connection so I uninstalled it. Plus the settings were so confusing to me. I'm using Green Power now and that seems fine.
You didn't mention mhs so I assume you're not using it but that has known connection issues.

Juice Defender gave me fits, too. I'm not using my phone as a Mobile Hotspot, either.
I kinda think its my ROM. I'll play around with some stuff, or I'll just get around to doing a factory reset and see if that fixes the problem. I'll post any solutions here for others.
Are you in a good 4g area? If you scroll down the general section here, you will find my topic. If you use 3g more than 4g, there is a post in that thread about##778#. It helped me. Sorry if it doesn't help you, Cheers.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm having this problem as well. I AM rooted and running CleanRom, but my daughter has a non rooted Bionic, and both of us suffered a complete loss of data today. My husband's rooted Rezound is fine.
I took my phone into Verizon today, and after initially just trying to swap out the phone (which I wouldn't allow them to do, it took me too long to get my phone the way I want it), they finally switched out the 4G sim card, and the data came back instantly.
When my daughter leaves school today, she will get her 4G card swapped out as well, and we'll see if it is in fact a network connectivity problem.
It seems to me that our 4G phones has a lot of trouble switching from wifi to 3G/4G service.

I will +1 this. My work WiFi is spotty, and so the phone falls in and out of WiFi. The Rezound HATES that and usually leaves me with no connectivity. There is definitely a WiFi->Mobile Network issue.
Try doing a factory reset. Could be a bad device... Im getting amazing reception on mine. I havent even seen my 3G or 1x icons yet. Constant 4G lock.
Forget what I said, my data connection has been dropped again for the past thirty minutes and there's no way for me to get it back.
I'm going to try a factory reset. I *really* don't want to have to send my phone back because my husband is getting amazing coverage on his Rezound. However, we're still in the first week of our Verizon contract, and if this looks like it will be a standing issue, then we'll have to cancel and go crawling back to horrible Sprint.

I think I'm going to try doing this. How painful was it for you to convince them to give you another SIM Card?
Edit: Just read your last post. Please let me know what a factory reset does for you.
They had no issues at all swapping out my 4G card, they certainly couldn't let me walk out of the store with no signal. They knew they had to try something.
The factory reset on the phone appeared to work. I've been steadily switching it from wifi to data, and the data signal picks up, albeit a tad bit slow. Only thing is, I still don't really get 4g, while my husband's Rezound has a great signal.
I got insurance on the phone, so I'll put up with it as long as I can before I start screaming at Verizon.
Good to hear. I'm going to try to switch out my SIM card today and see if that fixes it. I thought maybe it was something with the ROM, seeing as how my 3G will turn on whenever I need to send an MMS message, so a factory reset made sense to me. I just don't want to do it. Lol. Thanks for the info!
I've experienced it twice in the last 24hrs and it just happened to be right after I installed and used LTE OnOff. Don't know if there might be a connection there. I keep forgetting this phone has the ability to switch 4g/3G unlike the TBolt. Needless to say, that app is no longer on the phone.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
I had an issue with the mobile network just dropping in and out (other people in the room did not lose signal). We currently don't have 4G and it is 3G only. I did a factory reset of the phone, but it continued to occur. Took the phone back to Verizon store to exchange it (it was 1 week old). At first they weren't going to and gave me a run around but in the end exchanged it. Have had no problems with new phone.
My girlfriend's Bionic keeps dropping 4G more frequently than my Rezound. I get this problem too though. Usually a toggle of Airplane Mode fixes it...but it's pretty damn annoying. Happens once or twice a day!
A Factory Reset fixed it. Everything went smoothly, too. I backed up all my SMS Messages with HTC's Messaging app, and got my network back as soon as I restored it and set everything back up. Hopefully this will help anyone else who might have had the same problem.
I've been side by side with a fresh Rezound and watched both of them jump from 4g to 1x to 3g and sometimes never 3g. The problems were a million times worse with my droid charge as it's a combination of the handsets and the towers.

Hmmm
I have this happen if I am in an area with NO signal (such as the basement level of my office building) for long time. Only a reboot will bring back data. Does not happen often (maybe 2ce in a month and a half).
I am intrigued by the person who blames the install of LTEOnOff. I have it installed but do not use it. Maybe if I ever have to hard reset (such as if ever run the unlock), I will not reinstall that program.

Mobile data "Disconnected"

This is new. My phone shows full signal bars, but data does not work (no LTE displayed in the status bar). When I look at the settings it says "Disconnected" right below Mobile data. If I turn it off and on, it will say "Turning On..." then "Disconnected".
The weird part is that I know I get LTE signal right here (at my desk at work). I've been using the phone here all week. It was working fine, then it switched to disconnected. The first time I turned the data off/on, it connected, showed LTE, and sent an email I had tried to send. Now it refuses to connect at all.
I rebooted the phone, and it first connected to LTE, and now has full bars of 3G.
Anyone else notice something similar happen?
EDIT: Looks like it's Verizon possibly doing some tower work in NYC.
its possible you have a toasted sim card. not very common but i have seen it happen before on my gnex and a few others. Good luck
Another possibility is that Verizon in your area is fixing things.
If you are in Manhattan, a couple of us experienced unstable data connection these few days.
If such data disconnection happens cross the country , then it is a device's issue, which I suspect not.

Same thing keeps happening to me. It's frustrating because it will spool up LTE with full bars, not transmit any data and then disconnect completely from data. Will have to restart my phone which normally gets me back to working 3G until it happens again in an hour or so and have to repeat the process. Toggling the data connection on and off doesn't help. Verizon replaced my SIM card but it hasn't helped anything. Hoping it's just a temporary NYC issue.

Not surprising given some of the photos I've seen of their infrastructure after Sandy. Good to hear I'm not the only one.
This could be a different problem, but today I completely lost all mobile signal, both data and voice. It looked like I was in the subway (with no data icon and a little x next to the bars) . I waited for a couple of hours to see if the signal comes back, but it did not. A reboot fixed the issue.
I would not think much of this typically, but my wife has complained about exactly the same thing. Said she had to reboot the phone on two occasions already to get the signal back. WiFi worked fine though.
Could be a bug with the DNA.

My wife was having issues with mobile signal until eventually the phone could not find the sim card. She took it out and put it back in. Problem solved.
I am quite impressed with her. Coming from an iPhone, which she called as stable and boring as a microwave, she is now rocking a themed launcher, all sorts of widgets, power Toggles, settings profiles, and messing with the sim card!

I had that issue with the Galaxy S2.

Hi Everyone,
I got the same issue. I did a quick search on xda for this issue and saw this thread on this topic.
I opted to get the HTC One X+ instead of the DNA.
The first week I got the phone (from UK) everything worked fine and now I can't get the data connection to work.
I am currently on Vodafone.
The funny thing is, I take the same SIM card put it into my HTC One X which I got here in Australia and it works fine. No problems, always get a data connection.
However since the new HTC One X+ worked fine for the last few weeks and now it doesn't, I don't think it has anything to do with the networks.
Now since DNA is having this same issue, I am wondering if it has to do with Jelly Bean or the Sense upgrade using the HTC One +(plus).
Very frustrating. Any further thoughts about this bloody frustrating issue ?

As stated, the same SIM card when put into my HTC One X works fine. I get a data connection right away?
Update. Got it working again. Network connections are a bit sensitive.
Will monitor this issue over the next week.
So it is not necessarily the SIM Card.
---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------
UPDATE !
I still have this frustrating problem. With my galaxy note 10.1 I have 75% connection on GSM and a network connection. With HTC One X+ 20% connection on GSM and NO network connection.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Any suggestions anyone?
I have the same issue and I live in California. I think it's definitely a Droid DNA issue, not the Verizon network. I lose all mobile data, not just LTE. It happens probably a few times a day and even when I'm in the middle of a phone call. I'll have to restart my phone to get it working, but I've even had a couple of times where even a restart didn't work and I had to shut the phone off completely multiple times. This issue is rather frustrating!

It might not be a VZW problem but just incase go to a Vzw store and ask them if there are any down towers on the area if there aren't ask them for a warranty cpo replacement DNA. Hope this helps.

[Q] Intermittent Data Connection

Does anybody know what is going on?
Problem: Data will periodically not work. (No indication on the status bar)
It is also worth mentioning that I have already used over 7 gigs in this bill cycle, and am most likely being throttled :angel:
Current Work-around: Enable airplane mode, then disable airplane mode. This works 95% of the time. If it does not, I reset the phone.
Has anyone else seen this type of behavior?
It happens to me. Called Att about the the situation and they checked the surrounding towers, told me reset the phone, blah, blah, blah. They told me to go to my Att local warranty repair shop and swap it out. Lol.

So the data indicator disappears altogether? Does the issue occur in multiple locations more than a few miles apart? When data returns is it slow, pages time out etc or does it function as it should? Has it been that way since you got the phone or did you notice it after a change to the device (software update/ change in software)?

The indicator on the status bar is unchanged. You can have full bars showing 4g, and this will happen.
This occurs all over the place. (My apartment, office, etc)
When it returns, everything is normal and fast.
I flashed The Base about one week after getting the phone (got it right before Thanksgiving). Started noticing this behavior maybe 2-3 weeks ago. (also random reboots, but this thing reboots so fast I could care less.)
If it's occurring everywhere you go it's def not a network issue, could potentially be related to provisioning but its doubtful, if you're being throttled it would be consistent edge speeds not intermittent on then off. All signs point to device, could be hardware but 90 percent of the time it's software related. You could call tech support first, they can verify its not provisioning or network related then will recommend flash back to stock or you can just skip the call and flash first. If all else fails hardware would be the culprit in which case its covered under manufacturers warranty. On a side note I do know our roaming agreement for some parts of TX expired a few weeks ago and that could potentially be related to your issues, although if you show good sig and others around you hadn't been experiencing the same probs you could rule that out too.
Happened to me on pure stock. I rooted and it stopped. No clue what caused it.

I've had the same issue. it's like the device isn't switching between wifi and LTE properly. sometimes it transitions just fine and other times it only looks like i have a connection. in fact, some things will come thru, like email...but web browsing or facebook do not work. if i do the 'airplane mode' trick or I'll just reboot it the issue is resolved.
I'm hoping CM10 will correct this issue...if not, I'll go back to stock and try to swap the device.

I'm having the issue well. I called att and they said they were going to replace the sim and if that didn't fix it, they would see what LG said for warranty replacement. I just noticed it a few weeks ago.
I'm completely stock.
Happening to me too on my replacement device. For example I will try to access an address via Google Maps and it will say "No Connection" despite '4g' displaying with full bars. A toggle to airplane mode and back fixes the issue - and all of a sudden LTE will show up. This did not happen on my previous LGOG and I'm running the same software environment (unlocked, thebase .73) It's frustrating for sure.
I have the same problem

Seeing this behavior here as well. I can also verify it seems to happen when switching for HSPA to LTE.

Also getting this issue. I'm on Nocturnal with unlocked sim running on Tmobile. I'm glad it isn't just a Tmobile issue... It's probably software related

This problem presented itself to me yesterday. It basically went into airplane mode by itself and then immediately reconnected. It was after a phone call, when it was switching back to lte.
I think this is a baseband software problem as well. That ~300MB ota seems to have a new modem bin in it so it'll be nice to see if the newer radio firmware helps. Moden bins seem to be easily dd'd from pc to phone.

Yeah, I was thinking the new update would solve this but I guess I'll just wait until Nocturnal incorporates this into one of their roms
Interesting, this may be why the stock weather app periodically is not updating (even though I have 4 bars and 4G logo) and I get the message that it "cannot retrieve current location" turn on WiFi and everything is good?

I'm on T-Mobile and having this issue, I wasn't before on my old Sensation 4g so I know it isn't the area that I'm in.
I work two weeks at a time in an area where I don't get data coverage (even cell coverage is spotty at best). I do have access to (slow) WiFi. I've noticed that if I connect to the WiFi, then go out of range or if my phone goes into deep sleep, when the phone tries to reconnect, sometimes it will tell me I'm connected, but have no actual connection (404 error when loading websites), or it will tell me the WiFi network is out of range, when I know it's not.
The only way I can get it to reconnect is to reboot. The airplane mode on/off trick doesn't work for me.
Is this part of the same issue as the switching from data to WiFi? Anyone have any clue as to how to fix this?

data not working on wifi when in calls - sprint

I have a sprint HTC - One Max with current OTA - rooted of course - Kit Kat.
When I'm on calls it does not allow me to use my data on my wifi at all. I have always been able to
on my Galaxy 2 phone but not with this new HTC One Max.
I've tried using it with the mobile data turned off or on in settings.
Even though it shows wifi connectivity on status bar it still doesn't allow
for a page to load, speedtest to be done, zello to stay logged in, etc.
no one experiencing my duplex wifi while in call not working issue?
Is no one else having this problem ? I'm about to do a flash back to the stock ROM to see if wifi works simultaneously while in a call but if it's a fault in the programming / chipset then there's no point in me trying. Someone please reply so I don't waste my time doing something that someone else has tried.
Well I am on Verizon but sometimes my data works and sometimes it doesn't during a call. WiFi will stay connected and work fine.

Mine isn't working at all when I'm on the call, even when the wifi connectivity is on the status bar.. as soon as I disconnect calls my push to talk app/browser/etc start back working... Sometimes the wifi doesn't work at all on the phone even if I'm not on a call, but the S2 I have works like a charm with the same cradle point mbr1200/verizon data card that I've had for years. within 5 feet from the router too...
stock. non rooted, on sprint.
i was on the phone with my mom on moms day and was on wifi here at the house.
i was successfully able to use google voice to send and receive texts and also was surfing the web for a phone for my mom, so i have had good results with wifi calling.

I'm having issues with data also. I have the Verizon onemax. I started having this problem about 3 days ago. I have issues staying connected to 4g never used to have this problem. I live in a 4g area, when I turn off my device and wait about 10 secs then turn it back on then I get 4g for a brief period then it goes right back to 3g. Also I can't get any data when I make a phone call, that never ever happened before, I don't know why this is happining. I called Verizon and the rep told me to turn off my device then turn it back on the rep said that resets the "PRL" I TRIED THAT like I said awhile ago it worked....but only for a brief period. The Verizon rep "tech support" told me if that diddnt work that I may need to get a new SIM "which is on the way". This problem has happened on NuSense and on ViperRom, I wiped cach/dalvik/data&system and I'm still having this issue, I'm hopping the new SIM will fix this issue. Maybe we can get some help. I'm hopping because this is very annoying!

Problem diagnosed but not fixed
I have diagnosed my problem on simultaneous calling with data connection non existence even with wifi symbol on status bar...
The data on wifi works on calls if I'm not using a bluetooth device, meaning if I'm using the handset or the speaker phone it works fine, even if the headset stays connected to the phone, wifi still works as long as I'm not using the bluetooth for my call... kinda defeats purpose of having a smartphone if you can't use all features... backward thinking htc.

That sounds like a load of crap on the PRL note, which stands for preferred roaming list, aka while off verizon towers... network / data provisioning should fix the problem... which on sprint's is a quick ##72786# to get network provisioning to reset itself... Been doing that alot lately with the towers here getting the upgrade bugs. Had a nexus 5 phone in a power cycle loop when LTE was turned on in specific areas, had to put it in airplane mode quickly before it powered down, change settings to cdma, leaving it like that til the area was fixed. Only phone that had that problem that I know of. My HTC One Max kept losing tower connection randomly and I still have issues where certain towers won't put the call through to my phone. Which I've heard is an "on going" issue from sprint in certain "markets" LoL... (My guess is any of the newly upgraded towers with spark)

All I know is that when I put in my new SIM it seemed to fix my issue iv not had any problems staying connected to 4g. I figured the Verizon REP was full of B.S.

I created a new thread for this issue with a poll to help htc see if it's a wide spread issue. Will let them know the link tomorrow when I talk to their higher tier techs.

I fixxed the issue. I cleared data In app mgr.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. I can't seem to get the voicemail notification icon to go away, I checked my voicemail and I don't have any new messages. On viper Rom

Sprint Data 3g drops

Anyone having issues with 3g data dropping or network always disconnecting, takes a while to connect
Sent from my 0PJA2 using XDA Free mobile app
I had that problem with my sprint m9. Had it for a week with no problem then suddenly no data connect. No 3g or LTE for a couple days. Just Wi-Fi. I took it to a local corporate store and the best tech there eventually swapped out the sim and it's been connecting since. She told me sometimes the cards are bad from the start. Of all the phone's I've had that was a first for me.
Hmmm, mine seemed spotty today. A couple times I showed good 3G or LTE signal, but couldn't get data through.
Toggling airplane mode seemed to help.

so i had the same issue and when i got the new OTA the other day which has a new radio I think the data issues are even worse..
Try a profile update. I activated my phone in a non-sprint area and got really terrible 3g and NO 4g in known LTE saturated areas. Once I returned to my hometown I updated the profile and PRL and I instantly got LTE and the spark logo.

Yep I've had those issues since day 1. Occasionally the mobile data will disconnect, yet is switched on. Only toggling airplane will fix it.

I'm having similar issues.
So far, I tracked it down to this...
If I am on WiFi and then switch off, it will connect to LTE. At that time, some items such as Mail, Facebook, talking to Google, etc. quit working. It just times out. However, I can still browse the web and perform other functions. It will work if I switch back to WiFi or 3G, but so far it appears that I have to restart the phone to get everything working under LTE at that point.
Can others confirm this?

im having some similar issues. ill lose connectivity on LTE but it wont be disconnected from the LTE network, but switching to 3g or wifi works...ive narrowed it down to when I have a weak LTE signal. My house has always had a weak signal and thats where i notice it the most, I compared with my m8 and the signal levels are the same and connected to the same tower yet the m8 will work while the m9 acts like theres no connection at all, If i go outside and get a slightly better signal the m9 will work great.

There is also a discussion about the same issue over on the Sprint Community forum: https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/204027
I have come across this as well, it's usually when I use more than 4 GB of data over sprints network. I sent a message to sprint telling them their service is shotty at times, never heard anything back yet but haven't run into data connect issues (since then). Also I've heard you can complain about signal strength and if you put in the time (going to supervisor to supervisor) they will send you a device to boost your signal. Or you can just pay for the signal booster device. This is just my opinion and what I have heard, don't quote Bubba

my data drops numours times a day and its getting pretty annoying, the phone constantly tells me i have lte but nothing works, browser, facebook, pandora, snapchat. Toggling airplane mode does nothing same with turning mobile data off and back on, sometimes updating the profile will work but man its driving me crazy!
Definitely a radio issue. We need a radio update bc this is killing the battery as well.

The airave signal booster is 3G and voice, had 1 for 4 years, hasn't worked reliably for the past 2 years and with these issues its not gonna help when the phone is able to get and hold the lte signal.

The issue is either hardware related, or possibly a radio handoff issue.
Has anyone swapped phones yet with a newer batch to see if it still occurs?

Yup doesn't matter, had a 1st day release and also a 1st day store release. Both have the issue for me.

I'm constantly having the issue, and I've been advised to swap for a later release. My local stores are sold out, so I will advise once I have it swapped.
Any other possible solutions?
I did a swap myself and is not a hardware issues, I believe is the radio. I downloaded this signal check app to see what type of network connection is always on. I notice when connected on LTE, I have no problem. When it connects to 3g is where I have the issues especially indoors. It kinda tells me is connected in notification bar, but the network connection is stuck on 1xrtt.

My problem, and what I have read from most others is on LTE. It works on 3G and WiFi.
Would this affect Hangouts messages from not coming through? If I'm not on WiFi, I'm on LTE, and message notifications won't come through when off of WiFi. They of course come in fine on WiFi....
It's weird...I was sitting at my desk and my phone was jumping back and forth between Sprint 25 and 41 every few seconds...I did the profile update and now I'm solidly on 25 steady.
I've also seen jumps to Verizon LTE which is sort of my blowing.
Hoping this also solves the issue in a spot near my house that I was dropping data completely where before I at least had a useable 3G signal.
