[Q] 4G internet not working at all!!! - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I have a big issue with my thunderbolt I got about a month ago,
first few weeks, the speed seemed rapidly fast (22~25 mbps on speedtest)
but after I rooted my phone and found a GB rom on the internet and flashed it (I think that was the turning point), every single network based apps did not worked properly,
and I tested the speed and it never showed over 5 mbps..
I thought the problem was related to the radio
so I did some search and I found 1.39.00.0508w, 0.01.69.0510w_3
from this thread (mine was something like 1.39.00.0436r???)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115714
So I flashed it and it didn't solve my problem..
Now not only the internet still won't work, I feel my phone got kind of dumb so it cannot pick up my touches during selection or swipe through the homescreen which makes me to retouch or reswipe at least two times..
I just tried speedtest (which took me about 2 minutes to download the app)
It shows 3 mbps..

My 4G has been down since yesterday here in the phoenix area. I go from 3G back to 3G.

I don't get 4G here but have read numerous posts with people having issues today. Don't fret too much about it.

Speedtest is not a reliable way to check your data speeds on the Thunderbolt

Anyone else with 4g signal bars but not connection to internet ????

I'm currently on my 2nd 3vo....the new one is actually worst than the 1st because it keeps spontaneously rebooting/freezing. And on top of that STILL shows 4g signal (full bars at times). But has NO connection to the internet at all. I'm curious if anyone else has had the same issue ?....I love the phone but I'm really regretting switching over from sprint...and honestly contemplating canceling service before my 30 days are up.

I'm in Braintree Mass. right now and have been having issues the past 2 days. If it keeps up then I will call Sprint tomorrow and complain.
Yeah sometimes when I'm on 4G I have the bars but don't have any connectivity at times. A few times when i turned off 4G my EVO3d would not connect to 3g until i pulled the battery and rebooted

It's really aggravating...I have no problem with 3g at all...but 4g is a nightmare ! I'm almost thinking of switching to an EVO 4g instead lol

Same here. Just switched to sprint two days ago for this thing, horribly unimpressed. 200kbps 3G and constant freezes which require a battery pull (which is a pain with an otterbox on). Does anyone know if HTC/Sprint are aware of these issues?

Lately my freezing issue has been limited to self reboots lol. When I had my phone replaced at the sprint store

When i had it replaced the tech mentioned there's supposed to be a ota update to address the various issues with the 3vo.
Sent from my sh'm3vo
sometimes i'll have 5 bars and no or very slow connection. other times i'll have 1 bar and 200kb/s. so i'd say it's getting better right now as before i'd have a hard time breaking 100kb.

I have had that problem in the past...
... When I had my 4G, it was infrequent network issues that caused that.
The 3D seems to be pretty bad about holding all signals/connections (WiFi, 4G, 3G, voice, etc.).
Sprint has been fine for me here in the mid-atlantic for years. It is this 3D device that has been flake-tastic lately. I am likely going back to a "plain-old" Evo before my 30days with the new phone are up.
I'm getting slower 4G connection than 3G.
I wonder if they thoroughly test the phones before releasing them ?

Been having that exact problem at work, two or three bars showing for 4g but nothing happens when I try to load pages (or do anything that requires data for that matter) its off and on though because later in the day the phone will be humming right along until it happens again... Took my wife's 4g with me yesterday to see if it was my 3vo but both phones had the same problem...

anyone swap and got a better radio in phone?

hey guys, have any of you swapped because of bad radio and gotten one that works good? Almost out of time here, and sold evo 4g already. My evo worked pretty decent at my house, the 3d is pretty unusable here. Cell standby says time without a signal is 80% over 8 hours. My old evo would be like 2%. I dont wanna ditch it at this point, but need a phone more than yt3d.

i must have a really good radio, just under 14 percent, 14 hours on...
I returned my first one for other reasons but both radios were bad at my house. My 4G was fine. I switched prl several times but didn't want to be roaming at home and didn't solve the issue anyway. Called Sprint and they sent me airwave (internet based signal booster) free. Works great.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I didn't need an airwave till I had my 3d. I was always roaming in the house also, but its fine anywhere else.
It seems to range from bad to terrible. On second e3d...went through 5 at the store before I returned first one...another 4 when I got second one...."bad"is as good as it gets....but thats just the meter, seems to perform almost as good as my e4g....i think they might have switched the meter from 2g on e4g to 3g on e3d.....it seems to be on par with my e4g on cm7 which measured 3g strength as opposed to sense roms which measured 2g (voice) strength so far as I recall.
Unfortunately that seems to set the threshold for roaming.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Any of you swap after running the temp perm root? I've rebooted a couple times and its still rooted.
I would roam sometimes on evo and usually was like a bar or 2, but the 3d will drop a call at home while still ringing. Everyone says i sound choppy, and usually cant talk more than a minute or 2 without dropping. really sucks.
ok, turned off fast boot and restarted, titanium doesnt have permissions anymore so I guess that killed the root, gonna go swap.
swapped, alittle better, still think the radio is weaker then the evo's.

[Q] 4G issue

I have been having a weird issue with my 4G the last few days. I live in Oklahoma City which was a city that got 4G awhile ago it was running fine with no real problems until yesterday. The problem is it shows service and I can load xda app to get to forums but youtube, pda net, dolphin browser won't load. When I switch over to cdma it loads fine(just slower of course). When i switch back to LTE xda app loads and speed test .net show correct 4G numbers. I have tried flashing a new ROM from cm7 1.2, Omfgb, synergy sense 3.0 nightlies plus chingys lastest ROM. Flashed radios 2mr 2.5mr and the lastest radio chingy put on root wiki. I wipe usally 3times between flashes and dalvik a few times. I was just wondering if anyone has had this trouble or maybe its something up with Oklahoma City since it just happened a few days ago. If anyone else has this problem or has fixed it please let me know.

Verizon had no clue what I was talking about. What's really aggravating is google voice isn't working either on 4g.
I do not think its a root or radio issue. I have Th3roy on mine with the leaked radio its got no google voice or browser on 4g, 3g is fine, im in Tulsa. One of my buddies had two non rooted tb's they're both doing exactly the same thing.
4glte data to the browser and google voice is back up here in Tulsa at 1907
im having the same problem here in text i read on the CM7 people were having this problem too it says i have 4g but when i try to use my apps or go on the internet pages wont load. i have notice that if i switch to cdma 3g it works just fine so i been on while im out in about. i also notice that when i use wifi tether on 4g it works just fine when i am connected tp my xbox and laptop i get good speeds but on my phone web pages just wont load. i went ahead and called verizon about the problem and they said nothing was wrong with 4g here in the south even tho they are reciving alot of calls about the issue and tried to trouble shoot me which didnt wor and say i wasnt in a 4g area even tho houston was in the frist batch of of cities to get 4gand i tried trouble shoot myself by changeing roms and radios still no lucky.. i believe verizon messed something up because i just started having these problems saturday night and either dont know whats going on or are playing dumb until they figure it out....sorry about the long message

Hey everyone,
The problem with the 4g in Houston seems to be a DNS issue. I have a thunderbolt and very few of my Google apps or services seem to be able to connect even though 4g indicator is on.
Here's a link to the topic on rootzwiki where people have found a solution:
rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1763-Browser-not-liking-LTE&p=39618#post39618
And here's another xda thread where people are having the same issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16014183&posted=1#post16014183
If you're phone is rooted please try the set DNS app to change to the appropriate DNS and let us all know how it goes. Since my phone isn't rooted, I will wait it out a little longer just to see if Verizon fixes the DNS. However, I think we should all email/call/harass Verizon as much as possible. It's flat out unacceptable to the consumers who paid good money and locked in on a 2 year contract to get 4g. I could have taken my money elsewhere but Verizon has the fastest network, but if Verizon can't get their DNS server working then I'd rather take my money elsewhere.
I just grabbed set DNs and used Google dnsand my 4glte is now running fine. Good idea.

Same here. I put it in LTE mode, and used the DNS fix, and half hour later, I don't get any 4G, and no data at all. 3G seems to work.
I decided to restore my default DNS settings back.
EDIT: Never mind its back up now.

Mobile data not working for anyone else?

I've made references to this in Q&A, so apologies if you've read this already.
Simply put, my mobile data does not work on this phone. What I'm finding is if I leave a WiFi network or go to/from Sprint to roaming data, the hand-off to cellular data never happens as one of three things invariably occurs:
a) Mobile Data is stuck in 'turning on...' and thus I have no signal at all;
b) I have signal but no throughput (the up/down arrows never light up and I get no data connection);
c) the phone just reboots.
So basically if I change my network state, I can't go back until I reboot. Toggling Mobile Data does nothing in any of these instances. Now I expect holes in the software during a device release, but not holes you can drive a truck through. If anyone is experiencing the same issue or has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. If it's not solved by the end of my 14-day rescission period, this thing is done for.
I had this same exact problem. Update your profile and PRL. That fixed it for me but I dunno if that will fix the problem permanently. Might be a hardware defect but I hope it was just a prl/profile issue.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I've tried updating my profile and PRL and unfortunately that did nothing, and moments ago I gave up and called Customer Care to reactivate my OG EVO.
Of course, 30 seconds after that was all done the representative told me there's an EVDO data issue/outage that has been persistent in Philadelphia since the 22nd. You'd think they'd tell their store reps this valuable information, but such is not the case. I'm going to try running some tests on my OG EVO for comparison's sake and see how much truth they're telling me before I put the LTE back in the box and tell Sprint where they can shove it.
I have noticed some quirkyness with the WiFi/3g handoff on the phone on stock and viperROM. I am in the Philly market too, possibly the issue.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
It's becoming unbearable. I lose my 3g connection about 3 times a day. But today, it's lost it about 20 times and that's no exaggeration. It's lost mobile data at least 5 times in the last hour. HTC has got to do something about this.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
So I reactivated my OG EVO and sure enough, 3G data speeds are nothing short of awful in the 19103 area (~6KB/sec on average), compared to the 19106 area a mile or so away -- there's definitely an EVDO issue in the area. However, the OG EVO is not exhibiting the same WiFi/roaming hand-off issues that the EVO LTE is; that has to be a software issue specific to the phone. Seeing as I frequently walk in and out of various WiFi blankets throughout the city several times every day, this bug is a deal-breaker for me.
When I leave a wifi area I've noticed it takes a very long time to pick up 3G. It was nearly instant on my E4GT.
I just had the same issue with my mobile connection. Updating my profile and PRL seemed to do the trick. Changing from wi-fi to mobile also takes over a minute...
change your phone from cdma/lte mode to cdma mode, did the trick for a few friends of mine.
I've also been having the same issues. My phone will just drop 3G and go to roaming or no signal at all constantly. I also live in the Philly area so I'm hoping since we're in the second wave to get LTE that its just Sprint working on the network but I'm starting to suspect that we have a serious problem with our phones. Im on my second phone & a few different ROMS including stock & I've been having the problem since pre relase while my wife's Samsung E4GT has had no issues.
Edit
Well I took the advice from another thread and switched from CDMA/LTE to CDMA only & I haven't had any issues with my 3G dropping or with the WiFi to 3G handoff. Don't know if that fixed the problem or if Sprint just isn't working on the towers today.
Sent from my EVO using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
Okay this is starting to piss me off. I loose 3G service anytime I unlock the phone. In my house I can not keep a call connected to save my life, even though I have 4 bars. My 3G just looses signal. Its not when I switch from WiFi. It just does it on its own.
The first thing I tried was to turn the CDMA/LTE to just CDMA, tested this for 2 days nothing. I updated both Profile and PRL.... nothing.
I am really tempted to walk into a Sprint store and through down because this is unacceptable. And this happened to my first EVO LTE, so I returned it within my 14 days, got a second one and its doing the same thing. I thought well maybe its because I am in the Chicago Subbards but I have been in 2 other states and I have the same issue.
Anyone know of a fix or when HTC will actually fix their newest phone? I mean come on really guys, how is this okay?
EDIT:
Also, I tried turning off NFC and that doesn't help either.
And is anyone else's EVO get REALLY hot?

They said id be credited for the outage, well data is 50% of what we pay for. This is unacceptable sprint...
Say if it is a software issue shouldn't most people have this issue ?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
probably, depending on which software/firmware version you're running. I think it's more specifically related to the radio version/fw vs the towers causing it. it seems more and more like i get varied results depending on where i'm at. always the same end result, just the behavior in how long 3g stays connected varies.
I have been dealling with the same issues. I was driving and my data went out. Can't get data only if I connect to a WiFi, I tried everything. I am on the latest firmware, prl, ect. I got it back yesterday about 5 hours later but as soon as I go to an area with no service it will not come back. (Voice and text work fine) I am still without data since Noon today. I know I have 3G because my old Epic 4G is working fine. I even flashed the radio again and flashed the whole firmware again. Still doesn't work. I am about to take it back and get the Samsung....

[Q] Thunderbolt Radio? Signal Issues

tl;dr - TB is losing connectivity, almost no 4G, do I flash new radio? Which one? (post sounds less ignorant)
Out of nowhere I started to experience some really crippling internet & data issues. To be fair, I'm running CM7.1.1 which says that it has some known data issues, but I think these are a bit much.
I started to lose 4G connectivity completely - the symbol will show up on the screen, but just won't connect to anything. If I change the network mode to CDMA / EvDo it usually will pick up 3G at OK speeds, and will usually have 2-3 bars for regular cell coverage. 3G will work in and out, in for the most part. 4G I have managed to get up for about an hour, and now I can't get it at all.
Previously, I had a few disconnect issues but I'd reboot and everything would fix up quickly. I've done about 15-20 reboots in the past three days to no avail.
I figured that it might have something to do with radios... I spent a solid half hour or so researching flashing RUU's (how to, problems, etc.) and there is a LOT of conflicting information. Would flashing a new RUU help my issue? I think that it might... I'm currently on baseband 1.39.00.0627r (From the 1.70.605.0 RUU), and the latest is MUCH more recent.
I'd love some help / advice with if I should flash a new radio, which one, and if there is anything beyond the regular flashing / warnings that I need to worry about. Also, should I flash both LTE & CDMA separately? The names of the zip files are the same...one at a time? probably a noob question?
Hope this wasn't a repost of something, but I did a search first and couldn't see anything quite the same as this. Googled as well.
Cheers
Try ThunderShed it is much more up to date than the version you're running.

Thanks! If I flash a new radio is it going to wipe the device anyway? I wouldn't mind keeping my current setup, but if it's going to wipe there's no reason NOT to just upgrade to ThunderShed.
No. Try the radio that came with the newest ota. That's the one I'm using and it is working well.

Those didn't help much at all... I'm just going to flash ThunderShed and I'll bet anything I'm going to have better luck with that!
Exact samething started to happen with me except I'm running liquid gingerbread 3.2. Out of nowhere. My wife's thunderbolt gets great 4g connection but mine only 3g. I flashed latest radio but no dice. Wonder what's going on. I'm about to reset.

I've had the same problem twice before.
First off, I normally use only around 4GB of data a month, except during months that I have to travel. I never, ever tether (too risky).
In December 2011, I went to go visit some family over the Christmas/New Year's break. They rarely use the internet, so they opted for a cheap dialup home connection. Luckily for me though, the area was covered by LTE. In order to keep myself occupied, I streamed some Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, and other videos to my phone. After around 20GB of usage, 4G and 3G just died. Despite me changing around from CDMA Only to CDMA Only (PRL) to LTE, I was only able to pick up 1x. Flashing new radios didn't fix it, flashing new ROMs didn't fix it, leaving the battery out overnight didn't fix it, travelling an hour away to another family member's house (different tower) didn't fix it, getting a new SIM card didn't fix it, getting escalated to Tier 3 support didn't fix it, completely formatting the phone and installing official RUUs didn't fix it. I spent about a week trying to diagnose the problem, and was about to just use my insurance to get a replacement. Put my phone in the charger one night, went to bed, woke up, and 4G and 3G were back, about exactly 7 days after it first went down. Very odd, but I just chalked it up to a system glitch.
However, the same thing happened again in May 2012. Again, I visited my family and watched videos streamed to my phone to keep me occupied. About 10GB into the month, I had to leave for a trip to the other side of the country. While there, I had some downtime a couple of evenings to watch some movies. At 15GB, a similar thing happened. I was unable to connect to 4G, but 3G (albeit terrible connection) and 1x (faster and more reliable than 3G actually) worked fine. I thought that maybe the tower I was connected to was just experimenting with 4G before officially flipping the switch. However, no matter where I went, I was still restricted to 3G and 1x. After a 2000 mile flight back home, I was still restricted to terrible 3G and 1x. Again, after about a week, the problem went away and I was able to get on 4G again.
So, either my phone gets finicky when I have a lot of data usage, or Verizon likes to temp. ban 4G users who use lots of data in a short period of time.
You, my friend, were being throttled. That is exactly what happens when you get throttled.

My data usage was less if anything. You sound like you were getting throttled, I wasn't... mine are just obnoxious connectivity issues.
I flashed (and am still working on) Thundershed now, it's a beautiful ROM - I'd recommend to anyone running CM7.1.1 on TB to just switch over... it's the same thing (base CM9) and you get ICS as well which seems to have increased the performance anyway.
There were other annoying bugs with the TB build of CM7.1.1 such as the inability to have headphones in the phone while talking (people just couldn't hear you) and some weird proximity sensor issues on phone calls.
Hopefully this new ROM is going to take care of the issues that previously annoyed me... the TB is a great phone and I'm glad I'm going to be able to get the most out of it now.
Thanks for the tip off to that ROM, disconecktie!
Yea its a fantastic rom. I ran sheds stuff on the Eris for around 2 years and if it wasn't for him that device would have died quick.

And now you're running this on your TB? Yeah, seems like the dev community over there really has a lot of respect... he's active and does bug fixes too, really great stuff. Cheers
He's a great dev but you wont see him on xda. People over here pissed him off. I didn't like 1.5 much but the fixes he brought to 1.6 made this rom awesome again.

As far as ur radio issue I was having the exact same problem yesterday and I live in the southern California area. My girl was perfect 3g on her dinc, I couldn't get any data at all and when I did, only 3g. Killed my battery quick too cuz it kept having to reconnect. Quite annoying, seems to b better today tho. Could of been just an off day. It was weird too cuz i finally shelled out for a rezound battery and that was my first day experience. Lol I thought it was the battery till today when its been solid all day. Running gsb 3.3b btw with imos kernel.

.19 radios
I'm running Thundershed 1.6 w/ imo lean 184 6.2.1 using the .19 radios and other than having the GSM and LTE options ALL available to choose from, I'm having no issues at all. The 605.9 radios are very stable too. Hope this helps!
I suspect Verizon was working on the network for the past week or so. I had issues too, nothing big and I saw a few posts on AC where people had issues too. It seems to have resolved itself now.
I am in southern Cali too having the.same issue 4G goes in and out, 3g is solid I don't think I am near anywhere 4gigs...

similar problem
Hello all. First post. I'm a noob. Watched the video.
I see this post is 3 months old.
I'm having similar issues at home in Tyler, TX (we have 4G). One day my Verizon thunderbolt signal drops to 1X or nothing at all as far as data. This happens for several days. Verizon creates a ticket and calls me 2 days later to tell me it's not them. I travel to northern Kentucky (cincinnati area) to visit my son. Issue follows me to Kentucky. I root phone but am still using stock rom b/c I don't have a clue what I'm doing!
I travel to Dallas and my phone is healed. Blazingly fast. I can't keep up with it - it's so awesome. I decide I like this piece of crap after 1 year of hating it.
I travel home to Tyler today. I'm back to 1X or nothing at all.
Questions: So do I flash a rom with a different radio??? Is that how I can get a better signal? Scared straight b/c I have an E-key app that I use to get me into homes (home inspector) and I can't afford to have that app not work.
Thanks in advance

I live in overton tx and I don't have that problem. Maybe try getting a new sim. You may also check to make sure the golden tabs on the back of your phone are in good shape and make contact with the gold pads on the battery cover.
