I'm having the strangest problem, my browser is not cooperating with 4G. Especially with Google, the progress bar just sits there nearly indefinitely. It can load full sites, such as topgear.com, but it hangs at the end before the bar is full.
I can toggle down to 3G and it works fine. I'm currently running the OTA MR2 radio. This started, however, some time after I flash Chingy's latest leak. I've flash radios back and forth a couple of times, cleared cache and dalvik, clear Internet application data, I've even done a complete wipe (wiped everything twice) and re-flashed without restoring anything what so ever. Nothing works other than toggling down to 3G.
That being said, it's not a connection issue. I can tether and it runs great, speed tests ran from the phone have good results and most application that use data are fine. I'm baffled.
Any suggestion? Any one ran into something like this?
Thanks.
I had the same thing after flashing the new leak. Don't have a clue if its related or not, but my PRL changed after doing so. It went from 15011 to 15027. Afterwards, LTE connectivity was intermittent at best. Even when I set my radio to LTE only. It would stay on 4g for a bit, then go to 1x for no reason. After a couple of days now it has settled down. I did not change from MR2 leak.

My PRL is still 15011 and I have no issues with LTE connectivity. It doesn't drop LTE, tether works great and most applications that use data work fine. My issue is with the browser loading pages. I can refresh the Google home page and it will sit there for minutes without making any progress. Then I can imediately run a speed test and get 20Mbps, all while tethering without a hiccup. This is driving me nuts, I ran into a couple people over at rootzwiki who are having the same problem. Oddly enough we're all in Texas. *scratches head*

So all of a sudden my TB's 3G started acting odd. It disappears (the 3G icon disappears) unless I'm checking for updates, in which case it randomly reappears and seems to be doing work. Toggling airplane mode on and off doesn't help nor does turning the phone on and off. I can still get texts and calls but no 3G...
Tried everything (going back to ROMs that were backed up from a few days ago) as well as flashing that full new ROM/radio update. Wasn't doing anything specific before it went out...
Any ideas?

I didn't find that this worked at all. Only since the new radio was installed have I found 3g drop because I know I am in a partial 4g area. So for the time being I don't want to turn of the ePHRD. Has anyone else experienced this since upgrading radio and such?

Well I did upgrade the radio and this fixed the problems I was having. Getting great speeds now. But I'm far away from any 4G areas :/
I am having all kinds of problems today with the 3g icon going on and off. Sometimes when its on I still do not have data connectivity. Is this a verizon problem or just the new radio?
I think it has to do with LTE being prepped to roll out and more intensive stress-tests that they may be planning.
I've been having similar issues. I did the entire rooting process then flashed BAMF 1.5 and had little radio issues, but once I saw the 3G cut out a couple times yesterday, I flashed the radio that was already on my SD card. Since then it randomly cuts in and out, and sometimes requires a full phone reboot to come back. I don't think it's Verizon at all (at least not in my case), although my area is supposed to get 4G sometime this year.
I'm hoping the official OTA has a "better" radio that can fix these issues...since I sort of had issues like this in Boston when I was stock, but at home out in Central MA, 3G was as solid as ever.
Just an update in case anyone was reading this older thread--I continued to have signal issues for a day or two after rooting but I think I just had bad timing on flashing the new radio. I've spoken to a few Verizon customers (my mom included) and many of them had 3G issues the last couple days. Yesterday it was solid as a rock, signal better than I'm used to. So it probably was just a Verizon outage, testing 4G or whatever it was that they've been doing.
It's Verizon outages right now, lots of testing upgrading going on with VZW right now.
Ever since that data outage from 3 weeks ago, me and my wife's thunderbolts have had issues holding 3g/4g connections. The phones willswitch all the way from 4g to no data connection at all during various points in the day. I've tried the mr1 through mr2.5 radios and the issues haven't gone away. Talked to Verizon tech support multiple times and they said they've opened up a trouble ticket to see if its the network or our phones. We stay around Aurora and naperville which are full 4g areas but have had problems in multiple towns. So just wondering if anyone in the Chicago land area or the country for that matter is experiencing the same thing since that outage from a few weeks back.
For reference, I'm running cm7 with mr2 and mr2.5 on my wife's phone. But like I said I've tried different radios already.

connection perfectly stable in north side of chicago. i would simply return the phone to stock and exchange it. maybe a bad sim card. do you have problems sticking only to 3g? or does that work pefectly?
Its been acting up since before I installed cm on our phones. They haven't been the same since the data outage. We've had cm for about a week or so and before that we were running mr1 and mr2 with basic root.

If the phone is fine no need to exchange it just get a new sim. I got thunderbolts for my gf and her brother yesterday and their 4g seemed perfectly stable as I was rooting them the only thing I noticed was it did take a little for 4g to kick in after toggling via lte onoff

3g runs fine. And all of naperville and Aurora are 4g. North Aurora is not as far as I know. And I thought about the sim being bad but I don't think that's very likely for 2 phonesphones

Hey rygel411, does this sound like your situation?
1) Boot phone up fresh full reboot
2) Phone grabs a 3g/4g signal instantly and holds it for several hours fine
3) Randomly when you power on the display, you are missing a 3g/4g icon but have full bars
4) Checking under Wireless Network settings, Mobile Networks is OFF and WON'T turn on
5) Reboot solves the problem or Wait approx 2-4 hours and it solves itself randomly without doing anything
Does this sound like your situation? No 3g/4g icons and no data connection, and unable to turn data back on without a reboot or waiting a long time? Cuz if so this is exactly what happens to me and I live in central NJ. I always get perfect 3G signal on all my phones, even in my house. And my data speeds are generally good; 1500-3000kbps on 3G.
I am running MR2 Das BAMF Gingerstripped with Imoseyon's 3.4.0 GB Kernel. It IS related to Gingerbread, as my girlfriends Thunderbolt running full stock does not see this issue at all.
Similar but not exactly, both phones were acting up before I had gingerbread on them

I am in the western suburbs (Oak Park, River Forest) and I don't have any issues at all along the I-88 corridor out to Route 59. That's about as far into Naperville as I drive. 4G the whole way, no dropped calls.

Just wondering but are you on MR2? Because if anything its either that or the ROM, and I am more or less thinking its the radio. Could be why we didn't see this radio OTA yet.

I'm on 2.5, not sure of it's radio related or their network because I had Zero problems before with this configuration.
I was on 2.5. Then I downloaded the cm7 update that dropped a couple of hours ago and I was getting horrendous speeds with it, barely 1mbps. So I downgraded to mr2 and now I'm back between 7 and 13. I'm thinking about downgrading to the froyo radio and installing the cm7 compatible version with it.

This is exactly my finding, just in New Jersey instead of Chicago. I would like to see explicit details on what exactly happens when you folks lose your data connection, and what happens when you try to toggle certain settings (ie - plane mode, mobile network, etc)
Especially one particular detail. When you lose your data connection, is there a 1x icon in the notification bar, or are there NO icons next to your signal. That will determine if we're having a connection problem to Verizon, or if our ROM's/Radio's are the culprit.

I have the same exact problem as the OP. I live in Wheaton, work in Carol Stream and go to Chicago every weekend because my girlfriend lives there. 4G and 3G CONSTANTLY go in and out when trying to use them. The 4G icon diappears and then reappears. It doesn't switch over to 3G or 1X. The icon just disappears, displays full bars for a second in grey, 4G icon comes back in grey with 1-2 bars in grey and then goes green after 10-20 seconds or so. It's so ****ing annoying.
I'm running the latest CM7 build with 0223r radio. I've tried MR2 and MR 2.5 and have no luck. It's driving me nuts. It's not CM7 either. I was running rooted stock and it was doing the same thing.
I was getting symptoms like it was shutting on and off. Mine works fine with no changes in the Tampa area.

i only see this problem while tethering. if i try too many connections (open windows at same time) the 4g disappears for a second or two then it comes back. other than that (chicago north side) my 4g has been flawless. never switched to 3g either.
mobile connection issues on HTC Thunderbolt
Hi,
Did anyone ever figure out connection issues with HTC Thunderbolt? I have the exact issue that DaRkL3AD3R discussed in July.
My Thunderbolt just started doing almost the identical thing as he posted. Can't get on internet unless I wait, boot, whatever - almost identical to what you stated. Connection seems to be connected but it is not. I am new to "messing" around with my phone but this cuased me to root and boot but still on the Gingerbread os. It is driving me batty! It started about Mar 25 or so and I thought booting would help. Do you know if it may be the radio and are there other versions I can try? Someone mentioned new PRI version? Thanks for any pointing in the right direction!
So hopefully someone can give me some help here - have been getting "No Service" all day. Here's the story:
-Rooted the TB as directed here just this Thursday. All went well, and it worked dandy.
-Flashed INJ3CT3DTH3ORY with the .627 Radio, then just a few minor customizations like Launcherpro and a SetCPU profile to lower the max clock speed when screen's inactive. Nothing else major. Again, everything worked perfectly all weekend.
-Picked up my phone today and (finding it had shut off overnight despite being charged) found that I had No Service. Restarting Mobile Network had no effect.
-After playing around with it a little I restored to my backed-up stock Sense from right after the original root, but still no service except for the VERY brief 1x at one point (re-flashed original radio as well)
-Flashed the MR2 OTA Sense ROM and then flashed MR2 radio. When it didn't work I tried the MR2.5 radio.
Also between the ROM flashes I was sure to wipe the phone and caches. So now I'm left with a wonderful mini tablet that gets Wifi and voice/text, but no CDMA data (there's no LTE in my area). I doubt it's a Verizon issue because a co-worker ten feet away with a rooted TB and INJ3CT3DTH3ORY had no issues at the same time I started having problems. Anyone got ideas, or do I have to reverse the root and start over?
Either find it in your radio settings in the phone menu, or use lte on/off from the market. Check to make sure lte/cdma auto is set, or in your case without having any lte around, put it on the top option of cdma auto
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
No go. Whether I have it CDMA only or CDMA/LTE it doesn't pick up anything. Under Wireless Networks > Mobile Networks the subheading says "Connection Failed".
Removed the root and got my internets back, then re-rooted and it looks good again. Let's hope it stays fixed!

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.

Recently I have been experiencing, like many others, difficulty maintaining my 3g connection. It drops out at random times, sometimes staying off for 18 hours at a time regardless of reboots, flashing different roms, resetting my phones profile or reactivating my handset.
One thing I have noticed though, is the fact that my phone never goes to 1x. Ever. It's either 3g or nothing.
Do my questions. Is there a way to test the function of my 1x antenna if it is indeed separate from the 3g antenna?
If they are not separate, is there a way to reset it in some way?
I am currently running the latest radios from The good Capt. Throwback, my thought was to downgrade them and see if functionality returns.
Any ideas on how to proceed after that would be appreciated.

Jeezz...I had almost the exact same thing happen to me the other night...I had chalked it up to messing with a torrent app...but out of no where I lost my 3g connection, and it went to 1x...and the 1x would also cut out leaving me with nothing at all every 5 mins or so(the weird thing tho, is when the 1x connection would disappear I would lose the 3g symbol but in the network type it would list EvDo now...but I would not have any connection).
Naturally I was crappin my pants lol, I can't use the update profile feature on my phone, it's on Boost. So I went ahead and flashed the phone over again...Still the problem was there....So I did a factory data reset....still the problem was there....finally I went ahead and did the ##786# factory reset, flashed the phone again...Finally I was back on evdo like normal.
(BTW, my Evo LTE is now running 4.0.4 stock and there happened to be two of my friends here with their flashed to Boost Evo's, which were all running on EvDo with no issues...Plus I fired up my OG Evo 4g that is also on my Boost account and it was running on EvDo no problem whatsoever....so I knew this was some crazy issue with my Evo LTE)
I'm just glad the hard reset fixed it, I've been paranoid ever since though checking my network status, making sure I'm on EvDo lol.
Thanks for the responses. I've tried every reset I can find. Flashing the older radios didn't help either.
At this point, I'm just trying to figure out if the 1x radio is functioning. At least I wouldn't completely lose my data connection when the 3g drops out.
This happened to me when they were doing tower work in my area. Lasted a few days then I had 4g in areas I never did before.

It's the most likely cause, sprint has really been stepping up the rollout, in less than 2 months my lte coverage has practically tripled
could be eHRPD switching, I know deck got it all fixed up in the cm10 nightlies.....are you in a LTE area?
if not try setting mobile data to just CDMA and see if it sticks. I had that issue on the early cm10 builds where it would try and switch and just drop data completely.

My area in Jersey is on the short list for LTE activation in the short term, so there's a really good chance of this being the case.

My confusion comes from not having 1x coverage where I used to have it. Is that coverage dropped once LTE is activated? That would explain my issue.
I have read up on the eHRPD handoffs being an issue, but since I don't have LTE coverage at the moment I ignored that as a cause. I'll check out the newest Deck build and see if that helps anything.
Thanks for the help.
