Slow 3g? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone experiencing spotty internet. My tbolt says I have 3g but the internet is slower then dialup.

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.

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?

I agree, what radio are you running, and what ROM and version of it are you running?

I'm running KillaSense 3.5.0 with the latest radio from the GB OTA.
Everyone be sure your battery cover is completely snapped on. It has part of the antenna on it.

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.

I updated my kernel this morning and thought that was the issue with 4g going in and out. I'm glad I saw your post. I'm in new york too.

Going from Brooklyn to Queens this morning. 4G has been spotty for me too. Assumed it was the weather.

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.

love the phone / hate the radios

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.

Really slow 4g speeds. Bad sim?

So I was running a cm7 rom, and for the most part, I always keep my phone in 3g, unless I'm downloading or doing alot of web surfing. Anyways, I toggled my 4g on, and the speeds were ridiculously slow (0.5mbs down) . It was like that for about a week. I just figured it was a rom issue?? Well I flashed a sense rom today, and the 4g speeds are just as slow. My signal indicator shows a full signal (4g) but the up/down arrows are constantly lit. I even tried flashing back and forth between the 802 and 906 radios. Has anyone had this problem? Is it a bad sim? My 3g works fine...

If it was a bad SIM all you'd get would be 1x and no 3g or 4g.
Update: I had my wife test her 4g speeds at work and they were fine (tbolt). When she came home, I re-ran her speedtest, and it did exactly what my phone does. I must just live in some weird pocket.

Possible network issues

I live in a 3g only area, and today my phone has started showing 4g sporadically.
When the phone shows 4g my data stops working and then all data cuts out and 3g comes back.
I'm running viper Rom with snuzzo kernel. Could this be a software issue? The Verizon website does not have my city listed for current or upcoming 4g availability.

if you know you are in a city with no 4g and dont plan on getting it soon, why not change it to CDMA only? The phone might think its getting a signal from a 4g tower and its causing it to switch like that

This has never happened before today, so I was hoping it was me getting 4g in my area.....
I tried the cdma only setting, and my data as a whole is spotty now. My wife's thunderbolt is doing the same thing now.
Is this what its like when they flip the 4g switch? Does anybody else remember when 4g came on in there area?

they might be testing the 4g radio in your area and it that might be causing it. give it a couple of days, if it doesnt fix you might want to as a vzw rep. for me it was back when tbolt launched when we got 4g
What ROM are you using? I know that on some ROMS, like cyanogenmod, it's actually best to keep phone on the setting that supports multiple data modes.
I live in a town of 15k and we just got 4G, so u may get it after all...

[Q] Wi-Fi connection issues

I use an AOSP (paranoid android) based ROM but I've had issues with this on cyanogen mod also. Wi-Fi doesn't seem to connect very well and I'm wondering If there is a fix it like the GPS fix that I can flash?
Thank you!

Is it a Comcast router? (Known incompatibility issue)

I have the same issue with my Gateway router (AT&T Uverse). Once I get it connected it's usually pretty stable unless the phone sleeps for awhile, then I have to reconnect. When connecting to other networks I don't have this issue.

Yeah it is an issue with CM and ATT 2wire router. Your options are to get a new router or keep hitting connect in the WiFi settings like an idiot until it finally connects. This was so aggravating for me when I had ATT.

Me either. Never had this on sense. Now that GPS is fixed this is the last major issue.
Although it does moderately make me feel better to see it's not just me!
