Weird 3g issue - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Strange issue. I only get data on 4g, switch to cdma only and cannot pick up a signal on 3g. So any place I can't get a 4g signal, I don't have data. Any idea?

"CDMA only" is exactly what it says...just voice so not getting 3g with that set is expected. If you wanted voice and 3g without LTE then try CDMA w/ evdo.

Sorry meant CDMA auto (PRL) which should get you 3G data.

The ehrpd network is down that's the fix give it a day and revert from reva to ehrpd I've had to do this a few times you won't lose 3 or 4g switching automatically, just handles the tradeoff a lot better. In other words ok to leave on LTE and evdo auto mode

No if you put it in evdo mode you don't get phone calls. Plus I tried and no 3g

Just to be perfectly clear, CDMA PRL Auto is the proper mode to switch to.

I get no internet on cdma auto either. Even after a reboot. Ping says network unreachable.
Sadface.
Dallas/Richardson area here, having the same problem. Data only working on 4G, nothing on evdo/1x.
Same here on two Thunderbolts in Los Angeles. I actually haven't seen 3G at all since Friday night. Called Verizon and apparently there is an issue with 3G provisioning. They claim they are working on it and that there will be a fix in the next day. I know others say they fixed it with a hard reset but I don't want to do that if I don't have to, especially if its just going to break again later...

Hey guys I had the same issue in Baltimore, MD area and for me I had to factory reset and the 3g is now working when using cdma auto and its been running for about an hour now
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Weird. Mine never had that problem.
Did a factory reset now (since I hardly customized my phone yet), and it seems to have fixed the 3G problem. Not only that, but now I have the updated market! (Before the reset, I had the old market)
Go to the market and download Restart Connections. If you lose mobile network after switching to the proper setting, run that app.
Edit: This will also get rid of the need to do a factory reset to regain data connection

it worked for me after a while. i turned it on outside my house and it worked, but for some reason my home wouldnt let me switch
Had a similar issue. Figured out that when I switch from LTE to CDMA (PRL) it will switch to 3g, it can take a while, however if I power off the phone it will not connect on reboot to 3g again have to switch back to LTE and go to 4g and then switch back again. Hope this helps
3g just started working and i did nothing (other than going without internet for hours until it started working).
im blaming Verizon and my local network.

This is cdma not gsm. You need to update your profile in system updates. Then dial *17

I had this issue when I first got my OG evo, I called in and they walked through altering some settings, took me some time arguing with them but it worked

[Q] no 3g with x515m can hsdpa 1900 be enabled?

My mobile network recently launched it's 4g network but my phone only gets edge data. I have the x515m that does not have hsdpa 1900. Can hsdpa 1900 be enabled or can my phone be flashed to work with this network? I need to find out asap, thanks in advance.

It's because of network coverage. If you have only Edge or Gprs, it means that (we assume that "work only with 2g" is not checked) its signal doesn't cover that place. I have same issue with 3G or HSDPA in my flat..but when I go outside, I have HSDPA. Try 4G somewhere else and tell us.

Thanks for the response. I don't think it's a coverage issue because other people are getting 3g and 4g around me. I think my carrier is using another frequency (1900) that my evo3d x515m doesn't have. I was wonder if there was any way to change the radio but that doesn't seem possible. I'm still open to suggestions.

You are welcome..
Which ROM you use?
Anyway, go to Settings, Wireless&Networks tab, More..., Mobile Networks, and uncheck "Use only 2g networks" if it is checked.

I think it's a problem with the frequency used by my network so there's nothing I can do in the settings. I'm not using a ROM, I'm on the stock ICS firmware. I was wondering if I flashed a ROM if it could possibly change the 3g frequency but my research so far indicates that this isn't possible. Thanks for the info though.

Try using DFS they have tools to enable or Disable certain Bands/Spectrums. You can find DFS Evolution with a bit of research, due to the Nature I can not post a direct link but it is modified software

Network settings and questions

I'm a bit confused on the network settings. For example GSM/wcdma,which should I use or leave it to both? What exactly is wcdma? Also on select preffered network do I want GSM or the uxxx (whatever the other is)? As is I get great 4g when I'm out and about but at home my phone just sits with an x in place of signal. Seems it should switch to 2g (is that what T-Mobile calls 3g?) Or g. It occasionally will with good signal but drop it immediately ....

The 4636 menu doesn't do anything on my phone. And the service menu just gives me an error when I go to service providers. This 2g is definitely not 3g its ungodly slow!
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda app-developers app
Strangest thing, while I was trying to unlock the bootloader with the open (euro?) Version I flashed the radio for it and got 3g and hspa. Only time I've seen it, back on usual jellybean w latest baseband and its 4g or 2g again.

Could you please give details on how to root and unlock the bootloader on the Sprint version? I read that the 4G wimax stops working on the BoostMobile counterpart, so I'm scared :s
