I've searched all over for an answer but I can't really find any post with my issue. But before I jump in to it I thought I would provide background first to show where I'm at.
Htc thunderbolt -> One click rooted -> NAND made -> Wipe data -> flashed CM7 alpha -> Everything running smoothly (3g working before flash(3 weeks) and after flash(1 day) perfect).
Now, out of the blue, the 3g started to fail (day after flashing the rom). I get stuck on 1x (Note. I'm in 0 coverage for 4G). The mobile network type says unknown or CDMA-1xRTT (it changes back and forth a lot).
I restore the the phone from the backup (3g working one) and its in the same condition as it was in CM7, 1x or unknown or even no service.
Back in stock rom I dial the ##778# and the the enabling Rev .A. I commit, reboot, 3g!.... 1x... and it changes back and forth from there. So I also dialed the *#*#4636#*#* and change the unknown (or a 4g setting) to CDMA Auto prl. I get nothing, reboot, still goes between 3g 1x and nothing. It also force closes me often, is that normal?
Reflashed the CM7 and thats where it is.
I'm also in a strong 3g area, never get 1x. Another note is that it kicks off the "3g" i have when on the market or browser and says a Network error has occurred.
The majority of the time right now I have 1x or nothing (just 3-4 bars) with all these settings.
Any help or insight would be wonderful and greatly appreciated!. I've run out of ideas.... If any more data is needed just ask me.
[Edit]
So when changing the settings in the 4636 code I found it on CDMA only? I assume that favors 1x. So I change it to the Auto prl, then it force closes. I go back in to see its now on unknown, so I change it again. This time it sticks and 3g comes on. I'm not sure if I can trust this 3g or not. Any ideas?

I have T-Mobile version of this phone but I use it with Mobilicity.
Any time I go into a place that has no reception I obviously lose signal and both the bars and the 3G icon disappear.
However, when I leave that area and come back to the area where I had reception, the 3G icon never comes back. When I attempt to make a call I a get a message saying "not registered on network". If i go to wireless settings and try to manually search for a provider, the phone will only find Roaming.
The only thing that solves the problem is rebooting the phone.
I have Bionix 1.9 rom but this issue happened on stock as well. It also happens to another guy that has Vibrant9 rom.
On the other hand, other phones like the old samsung galaxy doesn't have that issue.
Any ideas. Am I missing some settings option?
Thanks...
I can only tell you I have exactly the same problem. Using it with Mobilicity.
Let's hope someone will come up with a fix.
A guess is that it has to do with the order in which it is searching to network operators after it loses signal. I am not sure how the phone is hard coded, but it is possible that upon reboot, it checks the SIM for which network to lock on to, but without a reboot it is looking for T-Mobile, because that is hard coded into the phone.
This is all a guess, but perhaps setting it to Manual network selection instead of automatic would help lock it on your network.
^yes, I think if you take it off the auto setting in your mobile network, that may solve the problem. Even though I'm with TMO we had a 3g outage and while it was on auto the same message came up for me, even after the outage was over. Set it to wcdma only, and I was able to make calls and get back on the network.
Setting it to Manual will just force us to do it manually every time it gets disconnected.
Not a solution, unfortunately.
Thanks guys,
Is there an application perhaps that will search for available networks and register on the network of your choosing once found?

Where you able to find a solution to this problem? I'm having the same problem. Let me know. Thanks.
+1111111.... i meant plus 1... but yeah ...i'm having the same problem... Vibrant on Mobilicity w/ Froyo Rom from Axurus <-- i think thats how u spell it
Anyways, this happends while im at home, sitting on the same chair as i was when i had the 3G...and then boom..............3g just disappears and doesn't come back til' i restart....
Have you tried setting the mobile network to "WCDMA Only" ?
Mobilicity doesnt have a GSM network.
Yesterday, my phone was working fine. Today, I wake up and instead of showing H or E in my signal bar area, I just have the bars which are full.
I can send and receive texts, but no photos. No webpages are accessible, email won't sync etc. But I can still make and receive calls as well.
I'm running Neutrino V2.5. This morning I flashed the 36P radio (from 30P) in hopes that might help. Didn't change anything.
Not sure if any of this is needed but here it is anyway:
Signal Strength - 93dBm 10asu
Mobile Network Type - HSPA
Mobile Network State - Disconnected
Wifi is still working fine as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm experiencing the same issue. Not sure what's going on. I went into settings to search for available networks and it's been "Searching" for like 15 minutes. Behind the "Searching" dialog I can see two options for AT&T and looks like one for T-Mobile. If I try to press back to cancel the search, it just takes me back to the last screen. I've also tried resetting APN. ugh.
Check the APNs configurations you might have to set them again.
I read over Atrix Dev that there's a weird bug in Neutrino ROM 2.5 that remove the APNs.
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Hope that helps
I feel really stupid for asking this, but here goes. I have a Photon, just got one of the T-Mobile SIM cards, activated it with the $30/month unlimited web+text+100 minutes talk time thing and I'm wondering - for my own purposes, mind you - how to purposely enable only 2G data on the Photon, if at all possible.
Now, at the moment I'm running the stock 2.3.4 ROM, unlocked and rooted so I could install the KDDI radio, and my T-Mobile speeds are consistently in the 5-6 Mbps range which is more than acceptable and I have zero issues with that service at the moment.
Having said that, and again for my own purposes, is there a specific way to get the 3G data connection switched to straight 2G/EDGE mode directly on this thing? I will be moving over to cybik's CM7 ROM here shortly and I can't recall (when I ran it a few days ago) if there's an option in the Mobile networks menu to switch from 2G to 3G. I was able to see the T-Mobile 2G network under the secondary menu as an available network, and I selected it but it still appears to be 3G.
Guess I'll play around with it some more, maybe there's a toggle on Google Play or something, just thought I'd toss the question out since I can't seem to locate such a toggle myself. DOH!!!
Update:
Installed that CM7 from cybik and it does have a menu toggle to directly enable 2G mode, works fine here for me (140-180 Kbps consistent, works great for streaming audio which I listen to frequently, iHeartRadio and a bunch of different police scanners online from RadioReference using Scanner Radio Pro). But I'm still wondering if it's possible to enable that with the stock 2.3.4 ROM directly, if anyone can offer any info, thanks.

It is for the atrix, but should be similar for stock.
Also you are correct CM7 has those settings allowed by default.
Also you can set the mode in the *#*#4636#*#* menu. Under phone information > CDMA Only = 2G ; EvDO only = 3G
Also: be careful editing the settings in the *#*#4636#*#* menu under the stock rom. It did it once and locked my phone on GSM and had to SBF to restore CDMA. Dunno why it did that but I have seen others have the same issue. IIRC i didn't even enable GSM it just happened when I entered the phone information menu.
I have an LG Optimus F3Q (I'm a keyboard person) on T-Mobile. Rooted, stock. I've noticed that my wife and I will sometimes be in the same place and she with her un-rooted LG phone gets good 4G/LTE signal while I'm on 2G. I went to the T-Mobile store (did not tell them I was rooted, they didn't ask) and they gave me a new sim. That seemed to work ... for about 30 minutes. Then I got booted off 4G/LTE again. So I went back. They messed around with APN settings and stuff, still no permanent fix. But what I have noticed since doing that and learning a little bit about the network settings menu is I can manually get myself back on 4G/LTE by going into network settings>mobile networks>network mode and disabling, then re-enabling, GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. (There is no "LTE only" mode for me to select.)
I printed out a logcat dump shortly after doing that successfully, but I know nothing about reading those logs.
Just for kicks I've tried adding an APN using epc.tmobile.com instead of fast.t-mobile.com but that one won't even connect me to the internet; perhaps I am doing something wrong in setting it up.
Anyone have any ideas here? I'd prefer not to have to go through several menus every time I want decent data service.

Just a piece of additional info: I've now noticed that I seem to get kicked off 4G when I make a phone call. So it seems like the phone is having some problem reinitiating its connection with the 4G data network ... ?
Hello everyone. I jsut got my Le Max 2 yesterday and noticed a very annoying issue. I can't send or receive MMS messages....that is unless I manually change my network from 4G to 3G. It's very strange that the phone doesn't do this itself.
I've entered in all the correct APN settings (this was needed in order for me to get 4G speeds. The downside is that it only stays on 4G unless i tell it to switch.
Some useful info:
I am on the stock rom 5.8.018S (stable)
I went into the menu via dialer *#*#4636#*#* and have selected LTE/GSM
I 'm on the Fido network in Canada (same as Rogers)
Will flashing another, newer rom solve my problem? Any help or advice would be appreciated!
I am with Freedom Mobile and do not have 4G. In the phone settings, dual SIM networks, network mode, even I set to 4G priority, I can get 3G without problem . In the *#*#4636#*#*, it was set to unknown by default. If you set it to LTE/GSM, I don't see how you can get 3G.

If I don't set it to that I won't get LTE. I can also leave it at unknown but it'll stay on 4g at all times. Point is, unless I manually go and select 3G priority and have the phone stay in 3G I won't be able to send/receive MMS.
I'm also having issues with the LED. It only works for text messages but doesn't light up for Hangouts or email (emails don't push either). As you can see lots of annoying issues! I'm not sure it's worth keeping the phone unless flashing a rom will solve this things.
