Internet not working. - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My internet just started going in and out. Either I have 1x or nothing. This just started happening. Never had a problem before.
I'm running bamf sense 3.0. Does anyone know what can be causing it? All day today I had no internet until now. I don't know if there is a setting or if I'm on the wrong radio (Mr2.5) or if this is usual for a 4g phone.

From what I heard mr2.0 is best for 3G and mr2.5 is best for 4G, but I use mr2.5 because I go in and out of 4G. Honestly, I'd stick with mr2.5, as it is a newer radio they released after mr2.0 was not working too well.
On mr2.5 I had the same issue for a few days, but then I updated my kernel to dream kernel 2.3.0 (a newer version of what's included in the sense 3.0 rom) after doing a wipe and rom reinstall (I'd recommend wiping data, cache, battery data, and dalvik cache 5x each before reinstalling the ROM just to make sure everything is deleted). After that I've had much better reception, although now and then it'll have a few issues.
Best of luck.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. Never tried to flash a new kernal. I'll go learn and give it a shot.

[Q] LTE issues, multiple roms/radios Help!

I flashed the mr2 radio a few days ago and decided I would wait till more roms came out based on froyo not, wasn't having the best of luck with the gb variety. But after flashing radios and multiple roms I now barely get my 4g to work. It will connect, sometimes, and when it does it drops off and then back on and repeat. Sometimes data works before it does its things.
I have been an avid flasher of my 2 Android phones and I've tried everything I can think of and find online to fix this. Fixing permissions, flashing a different radio/rom, going back to stock.
Now back on mr2 radio/debloated rom. And still has issues.
Please any help would be appreciated! I'm pulling my hair out.

CM7 RC1.1... no radio

Ok... I'm fairly new to ROMs... but I've loaded Das BAMF 2.1, and Das BAMF 3.0 RC3 and recently RC4... first used MR2.5, but during an attempt to load CM7 RC1.1 I got no radio... so I loaded MR2... but still no Radio. And of course went back to Das BAMF 3.0. I found MR2 to work better for me.
I attempted to reload CM7 again. Double checked the MD5 Sum. Then did the following:
Wipe device, wiped Cache, wiped Dalvik cache.
Installed CM7 RC1.1, installed GAPPS
Booted up... no radio... let it sit for 10 minutes... no radio
Reloaded MR2 radio... booted up... let it sit again... no radio... I get maybe 2 bars, but no LTE/3G or any data.
I'm stumped... I'm back up on Das BAMF 3.0 RC4 with MR2 radio, full LTE and 5 of 6 bars at home.
Any suggestions for getting CM7 to work.... PLEASE!!!!
When you had no data after flashing the CM7 (MR2+ version since that's your radio) did you try going to Settings->Wireless&Networks->Mobile Networks and switching to CDMA/EVDO Auto? I would have done that first. Might get it working for you. You can switch back to LTE after you get a signal (if you do).

A good suggestion. Also make sure your back cover is always on as it finishes the antenna's circuit If neither of these things fix the issue, I'll help you dig deeper into it.

I will give this a try tonight... yes, it's the MR2+ version of CM7 RC1.1.
And yes, I have a tight fit on the battery cover... I've only taken the battery cover off twice (first when I got the device and second to pull the SD Card temporarily)... I get great signal strength with my current ROM and the same radio - MR2.
I'll report back tonight.
I downloaded RC1.2 and did the same thing I did above... and it worked... no issues except I'm only showing one bar... looks like I've got some reading to do.
If you know anything about the one bar I'd like to know... this is at work where I usually see 3 or 4 bars.
CM7 will show lesser bars than any sense ROM. It doesnt make a difference in signal strength or connectivity.

Bad 4g speeds after cm7 rc1.2 update

I'm posting here because I have fewer than 10 post so I can't in the dev forum. Is anyone else experiencing really slow 4g since the latest cm7 update?(rc1.2) I just installed it and I'm barely getting 1mbps now, although my upload speeds are just fine. Any ideas?

It works now, thanks for the reply. I downgraded to mr2, wiped both caches and reinstalled mr2.5. Back up between 7 and 13. Still not as fast as when I had my froyo radio, but ill take it.

I saw the same issue on CM7 RC1.1 when I was on that I saw 1Mbps but when I switched back to BAMF 1.8.6 I was getting 22Mbps. All on MR2
I was just on vacation in Denver over the weekend and it was my first chance to try LTE.
I was sorely disappointed to show 3G-esque speed on every test with MR2.5+RC1.
At any rate I'm back home in the middle of nowhere so I'm not too worried
good thing you had less than 10 posts because this doesn't go in the development forum. at all. ever.
i had really slow 4G speeds on MR2.5 (4mbps) but on MR2 i got that ridiculous speed test you see in my signature. MR2 fixed my problems.

[Q] No Wireless connection after BAMF Remix 1.8.6

I just installed BAMF 1.8.6 on my thunderbolt. Before doing so I cleared all data / cache / dalvik as instructed. Everything seems to work great now that I have the new rom running but I cannot access any wireless networks make calls access internet or text. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I used this rom:
[ROM] [06.20.11] BAMF Remix 1.8.6 - UPDATE**MR2 radio and custom kernel support!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027804
Obviously I'm new to this so I didn't add any new radios or anything to that extent. I assume that is the issue but I'd rather not play around with things I'm not familiar with. If you can point me in the right direction if it is a radio and to which radio I should upgrade to I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

You need either the MR2 , MR2.5 or the new radio that dropped today. The MR2 is a good stable radio. All of these radios will work on the newer froyo builds like bamf 1.8.6 or any gingerbread rom. There are a couple of threads for these radios in TB development.
Good luck!

I've been using this for the past
couple days w/ the leaked mr2 radio
and it has been pretty good.
I got an extra 1hr of uptime and 30mins
of awake time. (15hrsUp/5hrsAwake)
Last night I flashed the official MR2
radio and all is well. I think the reason
you aren't getting any service is because
either you flashed your radio wrong or
you never did it.
Here's the link to the thread w/
just the new official mr2 radio that i used

Fascinate CM7 3G connectivity problem

I have a samsung galaxy s fascinate. It was recently updated to cm7 version 2.3.7. Worked fine for 2 weeks. Lately the 3G connection has given out. I have tried everything I could think of. Wireless and networks, check if an application was tampering with it, put it in airplane mode, turned data off, rebooted, tried them all. Any help will be appriciated. Thank you.

I had the same issue... what I did was wiped all cache, and factory reset, then flashed the kernel with Glitch v13. no problems so far. runs a lot better than the stock CM7 kernel IMHO. good luck
What modem are you on? i would suggest EH03....Find the MODEM only and you can flash it right with Odin. No need to loose any data
I have only had 2 data drops since early october running cm7 w/ glitchv13 kernel & ec09 modem...eh03 is decent too, try both and see what works better for you.
