love the phone / hate the radios - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

whats wrong with these radios? either they give you reboots or your constantly loose 4g or 3g and revert to 1x?
i assume this BIG update from verizon will fix all of this?
don't get me wrong i love the phone and the roms but this seriously needs to be fixed.
it was soo bad on gingerbread and mr2 i had to go back to froyo.

You switch to Verizon ? So you dropped the nexus and the EVO ? Mm idk I had some problems yesterday and the the rest of the week it been cool , it happened while I was driving tho no problems while in one place LTE rocks !

I've been using mr2.5 with gingeritis for about two weeks and I haven't had any reboots nor have I not been able to get 3g/4g. I always have a strong connection. I had a ton of reboots running froyo stuff.

i never tried mr2.5... just mr2 and it was bad. froyo is good to me aside from the occasional reboot.

Getting a TON of reboots now on mr2.5 with Das bamf 2.1. Up to seven in the past six hours now
Makes me sad. Been on 2.5 since its release and have had zero issues until today, dunno what happened. But reboots... Aren't rare on tbolts

time to switch radios bro. that's more than anybody has reported before. something tells me there's more to your phone rebooting than running that kernel.

I had that issue as well. After reflashing the radio, it solved that issue. But if it persists, the devs will all recommend you go back to the MR2 radio.

4G still having problems in NY?

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.

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.

Slow 3g?

Anyone experiencing spotty internet. My tbolt says I have 3g but the internet is slower then dialup.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
i get that a lot with 4G when i'm tethering. i'll just turn off the radio, wait about 20 seconds, turn it back on, and then it's working normally again.
weird thing is, my friend does the same with her Bionic and she doesn't have this issue.
õ_Ô
Is this some kind of play on words? "slow" and "3g"? on a 4g phone.
I never have any slow downs with tethering . I get consistent 4g speeds. What radio are you running?

Everyone be sure your battery cover is completely snapped on. It has part of the antenna on it.

4G drop issue

Alright. So I have been wandering the forum and can't find a thing about this. When I'm using my 4g I seem to hit a point (100 mb or so) when the 4g just disappears. and WILL NOT come back till I do a battery pull. I have used the 4g on off app thing. I have tried ##778* (although I feel like there might be an answer in this menu still.) all in all it is frustrating when I'm downloading a 500mb rom from here and it cuts out 1/5 of the way through and just won't come back
does anyone else have this issue? and yes I have 2-3 bars of coverage at my house, so it should not be a reception issue at all.
thank you for the help!!
Hmmmm...not sure....4g drops out for me but thats only because im on their edge of coverage....never had it drop cuz of downloading a certain amount...what rom are u using?
Well I'm on ics business sense. I would assume the rom but it has done that from the beginning. I only lose 4G when I'm downloading something. Otherwise I have it all the time at home.

Verizon's 4g data problem.

OK, I'm not sure if anyone one else has or is experiencing a data connection problem with Verizon's 4g toggling off and on. I know I "was" and this is my theory and it has actually worked for me but first let me start from beginning. I got new tbolt because having this issue, I rooted and install ROM and everything seem as it was fine until I decided to connect to myverizon app and as soon as I did I started experiencing the toggling off and on again. So I decided to un-install myverizon app and reflash radio again and sure enough everything fine now. Well like I said just my theory but I think if u log in to myverizon app its causing this data problem. Inconclusion if you un-install myverizon app and reflash radio you shouldn't have any more data connection problems.

Isn't it? It's like Verizon is trying to control usage. But like i said on post it worked for me, so i want to get a response from someone that has issue and tries it.

I constantly have to log in to My Verizon app. It's just part of how the ROM that im using works. I'm running Jellyblur 1.3 and have 4G data drops without even moving my phone on my desk at work. Considering I don't stay logged into My Verizon, I don't see how uninstalling it and reflashing my radio would make a difference. I love a good conspiracy theory though!

I'm saying don't use at all. Yes to update to see how much data u have used u have to constantly log in to update. What I'm saying is if u don't use at all don't even log in to myverizon. Give it a try... Delete myverizon don't re install flash radio again and tell me if your data connection is still dropping.

I did flash the .9 radio afterwards and noticed no drops now. I can't confirm the correlation between the drops and My Verizon. It could just strictly be that this radio version works better for me. Sorry, boss, but I like where your head's at!

For what it's worth, I never installed the My Verizon app on any of my ROMs and only had it while stock, which was a year ago. I still got major 4G connectivity issues a few months ago like so many others. Made the phone damn unusable at times.
Yeah I know it was a frustration for me. Have u tried new radios? .19 radios

I went radio happy a month ago and flashed them like they were ROMs. Tried probably 5 or 6 of them. I even tried different combinations of CDMA and LTE radios separately. No significant changes although the .9 or .19 radios seem to work equally well for me.

i was having this problem with juice defender and i switched to the beta and now im fine it may be a program like that causing your problems

Anyone have serious data issues the last couple days?

The last couple days I can't keep a data connection. Jumps from 1x to 3g to 4g constantly and sometimes nothing. I have flashed 4 different radios to rule that out and its still doing it. I'm on gb 2.1
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Yes. It seems to have stopped today. I think its just Verizon. I tried everything to fix it seems like just network trouble with the increased usage last couple weeks. Issues have gone now though. I would just wait it out. Switch to rev A off of ehrpd if its bugging u. Don't forget to turn it back tho

This was all in Atlanta area where I live. I have been in Lexington for 4 days now on business and I have not dropped data once. !!!!!
