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.
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.

How do I fix it? It was working fine a week ago, I'm running eternity, 1x is too slow, i thought it was just displaying wrong icon but it is not. I've updated profile, tried different PRLs even 00001 and still no luck. 4g works great.

I have this issue for a while now just figured out my 3g has not been working for a while. Any answers to this?
I'm am not sure on whether either of you guys are cdma or gsm but it sounds like you guys flashed a outdated prl. you could try flashing a latest prl or perform a prl update to see if that works. Also, another problem could be you have older firmware that isnt playing very nicely with prl's. Upgrading your radios might solve your problems. Again, hardly any imformation on your ends have justified the current attempts at formulating an adequate solution. Usually these methods will cure you of that dreaded 1x signal.
If you're on a stock sense ROM with working epst. Do ##data#, enter your msl, then hit menu and select restore profile. I did this when stuck on 1x. You'll go through a hands on activation and should have 3g back again.

I see that you can now, in CM9, force roaming but i only seem to get 1x speeds. I'm not sure if thats just because im in a low coverage area for verizon? I saw screenshots Joker posted of him getting 1mb+ on verizons network with CM9. Anyone know if he was running a new PRL or if it was just CM9 that allowed this? Huge thanks to Joker and all involved with their amazing work with the Photon and CM9!
Could be area and how close to the connected tower. Wish I could remember the Web page but you could with the connection info see the tower you were connected to look at the maps and see how far it was from you..
I used to do this all the time with my old VZW air card.. It was interesting because you may be a closer antennae or tower but the device would insist on the further of the two. The cool thing was being able to try forcing it to one over the other..
Not sure about cm9 but there has to be a way to bring up the connection info.. DBm, tower number, etc.. Could be some pound code to access it?
This is a standard function of CM. I haven't yet tried the CM9 alphas, but on my evo I was using CM7 and put my network onto automatic all the time at work so I could pick up a decent VZW signale, instead of my crap Sprint one in the building. Sometimes I would get great speeds, sometimes not.
I ended up just flashing a Sprint "business" PRL that allows 3g roaming onto Verizon, they *supposedly* only allow 1x roaming for normal users. I tried putting network to auto on CM7 on my Photon and it didnt do anything, however since ive flashed to CM9 on Photon it switches right over to Verizon's tower and i now, due to the new PRL, jump right to 3g Verizon(where there is 3g, obviously) And to tell what cell tower i'm on, I use an app called "OpenSignal" its in the market for free and has done well for me for a while now.
Cool thanks for sharing will have to checkout OpenSignal.

How did you flash the prl? I was on 11115 then flashed to cm7 which gave me the 51083 prl. I can't seem to get cm7 into the right mode to flash the prl. All the posts on the web are for the evo. And those folks have to go back to stock to change the prl. I am stuck with the 1x roaming as well.
This tool allows me to force roam on cm7 but I believe that my prl is limiting me to 1x.

You can roam on 3g with the regular prls.

I ended up restoring(via nandroid backup) to a stock blur rom from right after i unlocked/rooted my device and was able to follow THIS guide to get the PRL 01115 to flash to my Photon. Once i flashed PRL i just restored(again via nandroid) back to my CM9 backup. You will need your MSL, if you dont have it just call Sprint and tell them you need to do a data profile reset and need the 6 digit code and they give it out no questions as long as you play dumb and don't call it the MSL. And thanks for reply Joker! But i was out other day with some buddies(who are on verizon) and they were getting good 3g verizon speeds and i forced to roam on verizon and couldn't get over like 16k down(this was before i flashed new PRL). And in Settings - About Phone - Status it showed i was on 1x roaming, even though we were in a great 3g zone for verizon. Idk if that was a fluke or what but now that im on this 0115 business PRL i see flying speeds when force roaming. Cant thank you enough for all the amazing work you've done!
So do a nandroid back to stock and then nandroid back to cm7/9? Where is the prl info located that it would not change with a nandroid restore? I'm going to give of a shot and see how it goes.

It worked!
My stock nandroid would not flash (Error while flashing boot image!) so I wiped and flashed Jokerstockrev1 (nice ROM BTW) in CWM. This enabled me to enter BP tools mode and flash PRL 11115 using QPST. I nandroid'ed back to my CM7 backup and I now get 3g roaming! Not that I need this right now since I am in a Sprint saturated area, but having the option is nice when I travel to remote areas.
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.
