Here is my issue.
Phones
Mine: Perfect Storm 1.5 - Stock Kernel - Have used both MR2 and MR2.5 Radios
Wife's: Stock Unrooted - MR1 Radio.
Area: Philadelphia
I am trying to figure out if my SIM is having issues or if it is the behavior of the leaked radios. When i first flashed both version I could reliably get 4G data connections. After about a day or so on both they fall back to 3G and I will occasionally get 4G but not often.
Currently with the MR2.5 I took others advice on here yesterday. In the morning I removed the SIM, Powerd on the Tbolt, and then rebooted with the SIM back in. I had a 4G connection all day. I woke up this morning and I am back at 3G. I put my phone right next to my wife's and she has 4G.
Thoughts?
You might want to check your radio settings something might be getting switch to cdma (auto) instead of the cdma/Lte combo.
Some of the roms have it default to no lte in the radio sections, so you're phone might be rebooting I your pocket and some how the radio gets switched.
Just a thought.

Thanks for the suggestion but the settings are CDMA/LTE and I am in 3G
Having the same problem here in the Washington DC area. Updated my rom to the GingerRemix #6 and was fine at first. Last two days I have no data connection. Have flashed two different radio's, reboots and pulled the sim card.
This is with the mr2.5 upgrade..
Trying not to flash back to 1.7 but may have to if I cannot find answers...
This sounds more software related than a SIM card issue to me. I would think that if the SIM was bad, you would either get no service or no 4G.
You can try to flash this ROM http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?175-ROM-Plain-Jane-1.66.605.6-(aka-MR2-OTA2-v3)-6-9-2011&p=1758 which is the stock ROM just rooted. the MR2 and 2.5 radios work with this build, MR1 does not.

Hey guys,
Just looking for some guidance here. I'm coming from GTP 1.5.1b which was using the MR2 radio: 1.39.00.0508w. Yesterday I flashed BAMF GB 3.0 RC2 with the same radio currently installed. I have WIFI and voice connectivity but when I turn on Mobile data I get no connection for 3G/1X. I did mess with the Toolkit and switch to LTE/CDMA and back to CDMA only which did nothing for my 3G but it did give me a short bit of 4G while I was in a certain area but I quickly lost it and it went back to nothing after I drove through.

If you went to CDMA only and you got 4G you have a problem.
I would flash a stock rooted OTA (with the radio) and see if the problem persists, if so, have it replaced.
Sorry I think we misunterstood each other. I meant I was in CDMA only by default, switched to CDMA/LTE and got 4G for a brief moment as I was driving through a 4G area and then went back to no data after I left it.. My next step was to revert back to stock again
I have had the SAME problem for 2 days now. First with Gingeritis then BAMF RC2
Reverting to stock did not help for me, I actually tried every radio. I could get 3G/4G in a VZW store with repeaters everywhere, step outside and walk 20 feet and I'd lose everything. Bottom line, VZW is sending me a new phone.
I reverted to old radio 1.13.605.7 and old backup and got 3g back. Gonna try reflashing RC2 fresh and mr2 radio. Just confirming that mr2 is version 1.39.00.0508w and I'm not flashing something wrong.
FIXED. After reverting back I updated radio, booted to recovery and flashed rom and viola.
Glad it worked out
I had a problem where I couldn't get connection until I flashed it with the latest leaked radio. Even after that, it took 15-20 minutes to actually get coverage
the radios are jacked, it's not the phones.
Oh boy oh boy....
My TB has been giving me some issues lately. Notably, data issues. Starting Sunday morning, it would not connect to 3g or 4g. No matter what I tried. Reboots, battery pulls, Fix permissions through Rom manager, turning the radio off and on, Airplane mode off and on, 4g only, 3g only. Nothing worked. I was running the MR2.5 Radio with Das BAMF 3.0 RC4. So I flashed the MR1 radio and put CM7 on it. That worked great. For a day. Starting this morning, it started doing the same thing. Will not connect to data.
When I say that it wont connect, I mean it will not send or receive data. In the "about phone/network" menu, it will state that it's connected to LTE or eHRPD (3g), but it will not send data. Ping tests fail. Nothing goes through. Texts and calls work fine over 1x, thankfully. So what do I do?
Also, when I try switching to 3g only, it gives me an error that phone.android process has stopped working. Then my radio goes out completely, til I switch back to CDMA only.
Does this have something to do with my phone flying out of my jacket pocket while riding home from Milwaukee? I was cruising at 70, listening to music, then BAM! No more music. Check my pocket, phone is gone. I pulled over to the shoulder, got out, and walked back to find it on the other side of the 3 lane highway. The battery cover was about 40 feet away. Aside from some scratches on the kickstand and the ring around the camera lens, the phone appeared unscathed. It worked fine for 2 weeks after that too...
Should I call VZW and see if they can replace it? Revert back to stock and bring send it in?
:help:
maybe try and get a new sim card first.
Well, 4g works now, but I'm barely in a 4g area, so it's spotty. 3g will not connect no matter what I do. I have tried a few different combos of Radios and ROMs, to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
im having problems here too im on rc4 3.0 with new ota radio just this morning it srarted acting up im stuck on 1x im in,mesa az

I would pull out the SIM and just make sure there's no crud in there. Slim chance, but checking the md5 of the radios before you flash just to rule that out. Other than that, I can't think of anything. Isn't there a diagnostic you can run on these?
ok guys im trying again im still having the same problems as OP everything works fine over wifi and 4g is a little spotty but pretty stable for the most part and i didnt have issues till i went to the newest radio i have done just about everything and i mean everything battery pulls flashing, recover and evan go to bone stock and i did manage to get 3g working again but then 4g wouldent connect and evan than 3g was not that stable so i personally think the radios are some how damaged from radio flashing anybody have this happen to them
I'm also having this problem but I'm.using CM7 1.2 with the MR2 radio I get 4g but when I go to web pages it won't load if I switch to 3g only the pages load. this is really pissing me off because I call Verizon and let them know about the issue and they say nothing is wrong even those they say they are receiving many calls about the problems and try to trouble shoot me I'm not stupid I know more about this phone then them. Btw I also tired mutliple radios and roms and still no lucky I'm in Houston Texas
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. One of my buddies ahd two non rooted tb's they're both doing exactly the same thing.

call verizon beacuse you are not the only one i posted the number in the 4g issues thread already this is pissing me off because i tried many roms and radios and no luck
you probably ruined the connectors on the battery cover. theres some little gold tabs on the back that connect to the phone and act as an antenna. before you try anything else i would try getting a new battery cover. also try pulling out your sim card to see if theres anything blocking the connectors.
Verizon is having some techs check their end of things. They want to see if there is a problem with their network before they send me a phone. I pretty much know it's not the network, as nobody else is having this issue in my area, and I've traveled outside of my area with the same issues. I guess I have to wait patiently until they decide to replace my phone.
I have no issues when i switch to CDMA Auto PRl, I get zero 3g drops in data.
However, when i have it set to CDMA + LTE I always get 4G and 3g drops in data.
Whatever the problem is, they need to fix it, its getting ridiculous not being able to use 4G all the time.

So I've been able to narrow down and duplicate the freezing of the phone.
Basically when the 4g is turned on, phone will freeze on receiving a text message.
When i have 4g radio off, but 3g and wifi on, or just 3g and just wifi, both are fine and will never freeze and have normal usage.
I was able to duplicate both issues rooted, with all 3 versions of the wimax radio, along with the cleanrom 2.3 and 2.4
I flashed back to stock all the way and updated the lastest ota, same behavior happens.
What i noticed is that if the sd card is pulled entirely, the phone doesn't freeze/can't wake up, i swapped sd cards to see if that was the issue, same problem even with a different sd.
i sent the phone back for an exchange. So hopefully the other phone will be fine.
As a work around, you'll have to never turn on 4g, or just use google voice for messaging, there seems to be a hardware issue when 4g switches to 1x to do messaging process.
Just to update, i got my replacement today and it doesn't have that issue at all.
the only thing different that i did is that i updated the radio AND the wimax.
in the thread that has all the radios i only updated the latest radio and not the latest wimax
I'm using cleanrom 2.5 with the kernel that came with it.
That is awfully weird considering the 4g radio is completely independent of the 1x/3g radio. Would it also freeze up if you got a phone call while on 4g?

with phone calls, it was fine... it was mainly text.
The new phone has been great, can't reproduce at all the error.
chances are, it was a bad wimax chip?
I would agree, but the wimax doesn't disconnect when you get a call or text. You can browse the web or have a download going over 4g even during phone calls. Either way, you glad you got a new one.
My 4g is not coming on a "fringe" areas anymore, and when I am in the heart of a 4g market, it cuts in and out. It will show 4g on the notification bar, but will not connect to the internet, or will just show an upload arrow. It will eventually work if left along for a few mins, but then cut out or freeze again.
I've been rooted since July, and this is the first time i've had these kinds of problems.
I'm currently running BAMF Forever 1.0.5. I don't believe it to be a ROM issue, b/c i have since flashed other ROMS just to test, and still have the same connection problems.
I have pulled the Battery and sim, and made sure the battery door was on properly. I have tried every GB radio out there, and have not been able to fix it.
My big question: Is this a hardware problem, or could it be a bad sim, or something else?
Since my phone is rooted, how exactly would i go about discussing my 4G issues with Verizon? Would it just be best to nandroid my ROM, and install a rooted version of stock? Can i call and ask for a new SIM over the phone, or will i have to go into a store?
My phone is still usable, as the 3G works fine, but I would like to try and figure out a way to get 4G operational again.
If you've read this far, Thanks.

did you go from rooted stock rom to the Das Bamf Forever gb rom without flashing a new radio? there are links in the development forum to the new 802 radios that i would recommend. i'm using that with shiftao5p and 4g is running great.
I am having issues with 4g in my area too. It was just turned on in my area a couple days ago, but I live in the heart of the area and get nothing but 3g. In certain areas while I'm driving I've noticed that it will connect to 4g, but not for long and when i have been able to do a speed test it has only been around 5 meg down which doesn't sound right.
I'm using the latest gingeritis 3d and have tried all sorts of different radios. I've pulled the battery and the sim card and no dice.
Does it just take a little time for them to get everything working and then the coverage will be what its supposed to be?

I havent done anything to my phone lately and besides just having roms on it...so i my 3g and 4g data is now gone and i get 1x signal. The signal alternates from 1x to no signal at all. This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457659 is what i got on my phone right now and i got the radios installed and i still get 1x. At one point 3g showed up, but its really slow. So my question is, how can i fix this network problem?
ps. i have been struggling with this for 2 weeks and ive decided to try and fix it, but no luck
edit: ive taken the battery out and luck either, i also found a thread on how to fix the problem but it didnt help
i too have had this problem for 5 days now. i have been thinking of flashing the phone again to see if it would fix it.
Well i got some signal now, i went ahead and just added another ROM. I get signal every now and then, but i think i would have been better off with just constant 1x signal, instead of having no signal at all then some 3g coverage (really slow for some reason).
I just rooted my girlfriend's Thunderbolt last night and I'm having this same issue.
I had to roll back her latest OTA update and go back to 2.11.605.0 and then run Revolutionary. Since I rolled back her software, though, I've had the 1x signal issue. I assumed that installing the new ROM would fix this (BAMF Forever 1.10).
I've installed BAMF after using Superwipe, and everything runs smoothly. It's a great ROM. However, I can't get anything above 1x signal.
I've done the trick using ##778 and changing the Rev. A setting...no dice (and from what I've read, this is better in areas with no 4G. I live in Brooklyn, so I definitely want the 4G LTE).
I've tried the MR4 radio released just a few days ago, the radio from 2.11.605.9 OTA, and the MR3 radio. Same problem. I guess I'm going to try out the remaining radios I haven't touched, but I honestly don't think that will do anything.
Does anyone have any suggestions??

Ok I take this all back, she tells me her phone now reads 4g lte with full service. Looks like jumping across a few cell towers did the trick.

have you tried using different radios? This solved my issue. I had to go though 3 radios to find the right one, but it worked.
