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.

I am in the same boat, everything you are going through is exact on my end as well and I have rebooted, changed kernels. No luck.

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.

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!).

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.....

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).

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....

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:

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

Hey folks,
I have been checking all over the web, and have not found enough useful info. My 3g signal drops out at random times when I know I have a good signal. I have put it in only cdma mode. Done all the other stuff, and it still does this. I live in a no 4G area, and never had problems like this with my incredible. I am afraid it is my phone, but I think it is the network. I haven't rooted yet because of this. Has anybody else had this problem? All responses are welcome. Thanks

Some people are saying that since our connection is verified with the sim card that it is a network problem caused by issues Verizon is having. Watch the web when people state they have 4G issues and you are probably going to see 3G outages at the same time.

This. I read in our forums that because LTE phones use a SIM card, they have to go through a type of verification process with the network to latch onto LTE signal. As a result, when this is happening the 3G signal bottoms out because the phone is trying to latch onto LTE. The same is true for going from LTE to EVDO as well.
Something along those lines, at least

Have you tried replacing the SIM? If at all possible try walking out of Verizon without them activating the new SIM. Seems when ever I'm at a Verizon store someone is always waiting to have a 4G device activated. I had one instance with a SIM swap that took 30 mins @ the store. Now I just ask for a SIM replacement and tell them that I would activate via phone support when I get home. In my past experience, activation happen a lot faster away from a Verizon store loaded with queued activation requests.

I've had this issue since the Vigor came out. In 3g, I'd lose data completely. Only a reboot or airplane mode would fix it. I had new Vigor sent to me and the same problem. I've been through several sim cards ( I switch between my Vigor and Nexus often). I've talked to VZW more times than I care to mention and they've had no answers for me. They even sent techs to my area to see if it was a network problem. No luck. Just have to live with it I guess. My nexus doesn't do it. Still prefer the Vigor though.

I had the same problem...3G dropping randomly thoughout last weekend. I thought it was my Rezound so I activated my Droid Razr. Same thing. I'm in Southern Oregon. I called the local Verizon corporate store and asked if there were 3G problems and they didn't know. I think they really are a bit brain dead anyway. I can say I've two of their top line phones phones and both losing 3G once or twice an hour was really pissing me off. I NEED data, I was ready to cancel my service (unlimited data) and go with Sprint but thought better of it as I'm getting 3G constant now. Maybe Verizon has worked this out, I sure hope so.
I run juicedefender, which kills data when screen is off. I wonder if this has to do with it? Doesn't happen often, 3g will come on without a reboot after a few minutes.

I really do not think Juicedefender is the problem. I have BatteryCalibration (need to be rooted) and never had a problem. I haven't read anything about Juicedefender being the issue. I think it's Verizon, in fact with 2 phones having the same dropping in and out of 3g I sure of it.
Also a few minutes is not even close to acceptable to wait for data. I need data constantly, if your using Google Nav and you lose data your toast, streaming music your toast and I can think of a ton other reasons 3g should never be lost.
Most of Sunday and today I have not had an issue...makes you wonder.
I was using juice defender. I was also having problems with dropping 3 and 4g. Try not running it. Since I stopped I haven't had any drops.

From my understanding, it connects thru evdo. The Resound tries to connect thru 4g first, struggles, forcing 3g off, and in the process drops data. I take no credit for this. Pwned posted the link I think. You would get a better understanding if you read the link on page one. Hope that helps......

I spent some time in Northwest Houston recently and my 3G connection acted awfully strange. If I opened settings, it would frequently say "disconnected" under mobile network and would not sync gmail, open web, etc. It would frequently try to connect and stay on for a short bit (very slow connection) but go away again quickly.
I updated profile, prl, rebooted multiple times, but finally just gave up while I was there. Most of the time this was happening, I had 4 or 5 bars of signal and could make phone calls without any issues whatsoever.
Is this a Sprint Network NW Houston issue or is this an EVO LTE issue?
I did switch the network to CDMA only hoping this would help and it made no difference.
from what ive been reading this is common for locations that are doing work on getting the LTE upgraded on that tower. Phone is not the issue. I have seen similar stuff around here in Boston. Could be a good sign i am thinking.

There was a 3G outage yesterday afternoon that caused all of Houston 3G to fail. It was fixed around 1400.
That's standard Houston as of late. It varies. The past few days have been better, but last week was awful. Couldn't hold a 3g connection at all. Probably related to the tower upgrades.

This is a difficult topic to search. anything with "3g, issues, connectivity, drop" brings up pretty much every thread possible lol.
I vaguely remember reading about people having problems with 3G not picking up/connecting a while back but havent heard much since.
It has been a constant issue with me as of late. I'll drop wifi when I leave work or my house and 3g picks up maybe....MAYBE 20% of the time(no exaggeration). ##data# to restore, updating profile, updating prl. Even tried a factory reset. No dice.
Sprint data isn't the best. That just may be the issue.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I dont think its sprint in this case. my 3VO had no problems. My GF's 4s has zero problems. Neighbors Nexus has no problems either.

Read about the various chipsets in the cells available, that will help understand why you see some throughout differences with other cells.

If you searched for an answer you would know that they are upgrading to lte so therefore lte phones wont work well until rollout is complete hence reason why older phones work better

Mine does the same thing. I have to reboot it about 3 times a day. It really stinks. The data will work after a reboot. It seems like the mobile connection gets stuck with switching from off to on.
Im going to the Sprint store to figure out if its my phone or not.

Thanks for the heads up buddy :good:
I would understand if the Network Vision changes would affect everyone in an area. Not a specific phone. Like I said up above, a Nexus sitting right next to my phone all day yesterday never dropped 3g.

Makes sense. If that is the case though. Arent S3 users out of luck too with this?
Don't think it's the chipset necessarily. It will happen to me when I'm at 4-5 bars , then just drops, and gets locked out. Normally if I flip the network on and off a few times it will turn back on, but sometimes a reboot is needed.
Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't seem like it is the network or the chipset. No?

I was having 3g issues. Come to find out its the lte radio. Turned off my lte radio by network mode and made it cdma only. No problems since.

I have this problem sometimes when I turn off mobile data and turn on wifi at home then leave and turn off wifi and turn on mobile data but it won't turn on. Turning airplane mode on then off to reset the radios fixes it for me.
Thanks for the applicable replies everyone.
I just wasn't sure if I had missed a "fix" before I picked this up. The silence on the subject had me wondering. Guess we can only hope for an update/patch in the near future. Not a big issue but an annoyance.
Mine's been acting up the last 3 days or so. I used to run it all the time in LTE/CDMA mode. And that was fine for a month.
But being in one of the first LTE markets, that doesnt work anymore. It flashes turning on.. very quickly disconnected, then turning on.. over and over. If I put it in CDMA only, 3g pops right on and it's no problem.
One of my coworkers in another part of town is still on lte/cdma with no problems. I went to the sprint store to verify it was just them working on things and they said it was, and the employee had the same issue with her phone.
They said by all means, if it still doesnt work come the 15th bring it back in but at this point.. Just a waiting game i believe. Also, since my coworkers is still working that should mean I'm going to see LTE, and he probably won't right off the bat.
I also had connection issues when using the "LTE/CDMA" setting. Switched to "CDMA only" and it connects reliably, now.
As others have said, I imagine it's because it's trying to connect to towers that are being tested and can't. Switching to "CDMA only" prevents it from trying to connect to these towers.
Funny. It is backwards for me lol.

I've been having a ton of problems with this too. Constantly seems to be dropping even though I have full bars; does it on WiFi too. I'm switching over to CDMA only and will see if that helps me out. Hopefully we'll be seeing LTE here in St. Louis before to much longer.
i don't have any trouble with the wifi dropping out, but right on par with what everyone else is seeing on the 3g. except that the only way i can get mine to come back is to reboot.

This is exactly what happens to me. Wifi, no problems. 3g - reboot about 2-3 times a day to get it back. Mobile network just gets stuck on "turning on"
At least I know its other people now, so I don't try to return the phone and then get even more pissed when I get another one doing the same thing.

that's where i'm at. i've read elsewhere that the OG EVO had a similar/same issue when it first came out that was soon corrected by an update. buddy with a Bionic on VZW said he has a similar problem on it when he first got it, then an update fixed.
i'm new to HTC so i don't know how anxious to get for an OTA. samsung was absolutely horrible with my Transform. Got Froyo like 4 or 5 months after promised
in the meantime i might try this to disable smart-sync which actually links back to here. but that's how i came across it

Try turning off WiFi when it's not in use. It worked wonders for me.
