4G still having problems in NY? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning community,
Anyone else still experiencing 4G problems in NYC? It will stay on 4G for about ten seconds,then I will lose connection all together, before it reconnects to 3G.
My radio settings are correctly selected at CDMA+LTE/EVDO auto and I am on the MR2.0 radio.
This has been happening for me since yesterday.
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem and it's been like that for about 3 days now. I'm on CM7 so it can't be the radio.

I updated my kernel this morning and thought that was the issue with 4g going in and out. I'm glad I saw your post. I'm in new york too.

Going from Brooklyn to Queens this morning. 4G has been spotty for me too. Assumed it was the weather.

Have not tried going back yet. Switched to 3G only and that has had a steady signal, albeit very slow......LOL
Verizon had 4G issues about a week ago, maybe there are still residual lingering issues?

not sure what is going on. the first 3 days with my bolt were great. i was on the OTA update (MR1 i am guessing) and had 4G singal at work and everywhere else i went, pulling about 20mp/s downloads all day long. but, for the last 5 days i have had spotty 4G, zero 4G at work. when i can connect to 4G i am getting like 5mp/s downloads. and that is IF 4G doesnt hang and not load anything. starting to get frustrated....not to mention, my buddy who sits right next to me at work has a droid Charge witth 4G and pulling just under 20mb/s here.
wondering if it is a LTE/ thunderbolt issue. the TB and LTE are not playing nicely together. not sure why that would be, but i dont have any other explanation.
having slow/non exhistant 4G with MR1, MR2 and MR2.5 radios.

im in queens. College point. Today 4g has been fine for me.

4G down?

I'm in Atlanta and it seems 4G has been down the last few days. Anyone else notice this or is it my phone? I haven't really changed anything, just installed a few apps.

It has been kinda iffy here in Arizona also the speeds have been really low as well
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I'm also in AZ and can confirm i'm only seeing 1X where I normally have strong 4G/3G Signals.
I'm in Connecticut, and seems like I'm having a similar issue. However, I'm rooted, running Gingerbrick radio/ROM, and been changing kernels as Imoseyn puts out new ones, so I was not sure if it was the network, or bugs in the GB software.
No issues in Charlotte. I am currently in the middle of a medical building with no windows and 3 bars signal strength. I just got over 15Mbps down and close to 8Mbps up on Speedtest.net.

In washington dc...i'm getting 3G but not 4G. However I did update the kernal before I went to bed last night so that might be the issue.
EDIT: Rebooted and 4G is back.
Thanks
No 4g where I'm at in cali... But I can say for the past few days, 3g has been slow if at all. Have to do reboot just to get anything and it will say 3g in my phone but no data when I try using my browser and all. (Data turned on)
*WALK in the WORD*
STL here, 4G zone, into and out of 1X off and on all day.
4G was very spotty in Cincinnati this weekend.. seems to have leveled out as of this morning.

Chicago 3G speed improvement

3G speeds Chicago. Took only prl update NOT software update and am experiencing actual USABLE 3G speeds!,very exciting stuff just hit 2.1 mgbs down on speedtest. Net app. PRevious best prob around 1.5 but that was off peak. Anyone else in chi or burbs seeing same?

Actually yes. I'm in the southwestern burbs.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
ive noticed this also
I'm in chicago over by elston and lawrence, and my speed tests just got me 500kbps down, 60kbps up. This is pathetic 3g coverage, and its with full bars and its almost 11pm at night.
I'm 20 miles west of clevland and speeds here seemed to be a lot better here also.. will check when im downtown tomorrow
I think this has less to do with PRL updates and more to do with NV. I experienced this same thing earlier this week. The increased speeds have gone since then. I also took the new PRL but am getting the speeds I normally get. I am getting increased upload speeds with the new radio, however.

im out of town in vegas at the moment and doesn't matter how many updates you get your gonna get pounded (screwed) when it comes to 3g when on the strip so when im back in lemont (little south west of chicago) ill do some tests. i averaged 1.1mbps at my house and crap everywhere else so hopefully this update fixes everywhere else thats not my house haha
I live in Plainfield and have absolutely horrible 3G. (just started a new 2year about 5 days ago) but to my understanding theyre implementing 4g LTE int othe towers and upgrading the 3g network aswell.
No wonder sprint has unlimited data, their network is crap.

I hear you and that is completely true now. Ironically two years ago on my og EVo at the M. Bay events center( I was at a conference with a workgroup) I was the ONLY one of us to get great download speeds (or even a stable connection actually -Nada on vzn, tmo, att). Now, I maybe it was tower placement, but Compare that to what you are experiencing now, but and I experienced while there in May. W.T. F. H a p p e n e d I just don't get it?

Hey I do too, how's it going neighbor?
I have decent 3g, as shown above, at least since the PRL update. Haven't done the OTA yet. I'm near downtown Plainfield though, close to where the YWCA is (and that middle school) by Wallin. Are you on the southern side?

Hey neighbor! Im by catonfarm and countyline road. Close to Plainfield South High School.
I have noticed better speeds and connectivity since the PRL update.
im still nervous about doing the other update
Anyone in the Northwest Suburbs experiencing issues with service? I can make calls, but only receive calls when I'm talking on the phone already. I'm also having problems receiving text messages. I will get them about 45 minutes late. Was wondering if it was my phone or an EVO issue. I didn't have any problems with my original EVO.
Also, tried to update prl, profile, the works.
In the downers grove area, close to Lombard.

Oh you're over by that CVS there... I'm actually heading there in a minute, haha. I haven't S-off'd my phone, due to the risk of soft-brick, and now it looks like I have to for the OTA, which is irritating. I'll admit, I'm nervous about this too. I just want kernel source to allow devs to get CM9 or AOKP going so I don't have to worry about any of this business.

I have the same issue, and can even reproduce the behavior by calling my phone from my wife's. 9 out of 10 times it misses the call at my house. Strangely enough, if I toggle GPS on, I consistnently get 8 out of 10 calls... that's without an active lock too. Very strange to say the least.
I've noticed huge improvements! When I'm at the gym tomorrow I'm going to try facebook out cause whenever I tried before it would take forever to load. I just can't wait for lte to go live for us in the suburbs.

Possible network issues

I live in a 3g only area, and today my phone has started showing 4g sporadically.
When the phone shows 4g my data stops working and then all data cuts out and 3g comes back.
I'm running viper Rom with snuzzo kernel. Could this be a software issue? The Verizon website does not have my city listed for current or upcoming 4g availability.

if you know you are in a city with no 4g and dont plan on getting it soon, why not change it to CDMA only? The phone might think its getting a signal from a 4g tower and its causing it to switch like that

This has never happened before today, so I was hoping it was me getting 4g in my area.....
I tried the cdma only setting, and my data as a whole is spotty now. My wife's thunderbolt is doing the same thing now.
Is this what its like when they flip the 4g switch? Does anybody else remember when 4g came on in there area?

they might be testing the 4g radio in your area and it that might be causing it. give it a couple of days, if it doesnt fix you might want to as a vzw rep. for me it was back when tbolt launched when we got 4g
What ROM are you using? I know that on some ROMS, like cyanogenmod, it's actually best to keep phone on the setting that supports multiple data modes.
I live in a town of 15k and we just got 4G, so u may get it after all...

Network connectivity issues

Hey guys, i have no idea what has happened, but i no longer have 4g on my phone.
First, it takes forever to actually connect to Mobile data. It shows that mobile data is on, but it says "disconnected" for at least a minute or two. Second it only connects to 3g when i know im in a 4g area, and have always gotten 4g.
I have it set to LTE/CDMA mode and have sprint connnections optimizer turned off. I have also updated prl/profile to no avail. Please help
Thanks
It's been around the posts lately about the growing problem. Try ##3282#, profile, change to 1, hit menu, commit modifications... Maybe that will help.

Thanks, it was already set on 1.

Well... I'm in the same boat man. But I'm actually going on a couple hours of constant lte. Man, I did everything in the book. ##786# reset, hundreds of profile and prl updates...
I flashed back to an old nandroid of superlte and its been working.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I'm basically having the same issue. The other thing on my end is I can't update prl or profile. This sucks.
Sent from under your bed...
This happened to me the other day. What i did was turn off my mobile data and put my phone on airplane mode for a few minutes. Then i turned everything back on and my LTE worked.
Woke up this morning and my 4g was back! Guess its a tower or software issue. It seems to be randomly disappearing for no reason. Hope you guys get it solved cuz if not then the phone should've been called EVO 3G if its gonna act like this. I'm sure I haven't seen the last of this problem
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Been having similar issues for the last day or so as well. It sometimes requires me to restart the phone entirely before I get LTE back. Where are you guys around? Chicagoland area here.

Im in Dallas and since middle of December i can say that my Data speeds have gone back to pre network vision days..
Right now, in my office with the 4G icon, im getting less then a meg down and between 1 and 2 megs up.
Thats 3G speeds..
Its aweful..

4g lte appears in Tacoma wa?!

Turned on my EVO lte a few minutes ago after it dying today and I saw the 4g logo. My first reaction? Run a speed test. The results were... Unsatisfactory to say the least. After about 10 minutes of use I was booted back to 3g, but not before getting some screen caps!
Has anyone else had this happen in the Tacoma area? I know it is listed nowhere on the sprint coverage maps or lte locations so maybe this area is currently in testing and i managed to grab the signal somehow? Either way, exciting news for sprint customers in the SeaTac area!

Just noticed 4G lit up (for the first time ever) for me on my Evo 4G LTE while driving on 509 down by the Port of Tacoma. Speed was about 5.5 down and 1 up.
I'm up in Whidbey and we'll never get anything better than 3g, I still goto 1x sometimes, did a speed test today and almost got to one meg off of a 159 ping...
