I switched from Verizon to Cricket, had my DX2 flashed at a shop and switched over Cricket. Everything works, but I rarely get 3G data. Usually it pops up for a minute or two, then disappears for a few hours again leaving me with only 1X.
Does anybody know the way to update Crickets PRL info? Or is there anything else I can do to get 3G connection more reliably? I know it isn't a signal issue, as it just simply doesn't work well anywhere whereas others using Cricket have 3G and good signal.

I'm sorry, but the name Cricket alone sounds solo, not sure how their network runs, but is this all you have? You can try calling Cricket, to manually activate your phone, changing our entering the codes manually...good luck, love to hear outcome..

Also, I have experienced the same issue on Verizon, mostly when connected to a Network Extender. Toggling my wifi on and back off (with a connection having been established) usually does the trick to force it back into 3G.

For some reason, the airplane mode trick doesn't work nearly as consistently for me as wifi toggling.

Cricket is a pay-as-you-go service in the Phoenix area and probably SW USA in general. It runs on Verizon's CDMA network, just typically given lower priority. However, I am basically unable to get 3G connectivity period. The phone has been flashed from Verizon to Cricket and activated and everything seems to work with exception of reliable 3G.

Ever since Verizon network went down a few days ago I can't get a solid connection whenever I download anything. Browser seems to load fine. I try downloading several apps from the market but cannot complete the download due to lost connectioime. It will just stop at any time during The download. Same with files. I dont think is the rom. I'm on cm7 pre-release. Flash back to Tesla but still have the issue. Is anyone else have this issue?
Are you close to a 4G area? Try locking your radio to 3G and see if it improves.

You go into the phone dialer and input *#*#4636#*#*, choose phone information. LTE mode for only 4G, CDMA auto (PRL) for only 3G. You can change it back to normal by using CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto.
I've been having the same exact problem.

Just installed the latest radio and is still having the same issue. I hope is the network then since you're having the same problem too.
I have das bamf remix 1.5 on my phone and I've been having very slow downloads lately when it says I have a full signal.... Tried both modes as mentioned above and problem persists. Can't even load a whole you tube vid. WTF
New radio problems
I had similair issues, and I went back to stock 605.6 radio and a simple debloat rom and it fixed my issues, I am also set to CDMA(PRL) as I'm in a 3G only area
on the new radio my 3G connection was unstable and my GPS wouldn't lock
all of this only occurred after the verizon network went down and came back up.
before that I was having my problem with the new radio. I'm waiting on 605.6 until Verizon officially updates the radio, because I think they changed something that is currently only working with the old radio, the only one they have to support at this time, just my conjecture of course, but I've tried it a few times going between an old radio/old rom and new radio/new rom and it's consistant
Having the same issues. Tried all the radios, but downloading from the market place still goes at a snails place. Like everyone else this started after the lte network went down and came back up.

Alright, I just got off the phone with them and they fixed my problem in less then 5 minutes. The problem was caused when the network went down, and when it came back up, some of the thunderbolts would not connect correctly causing the connection issues. When I called customer service the woman brought a tech guy on the phone and he had me take the battery out of the phone WHILE IT WAS POWERED UP and then take the SIM card out and he did some kind of "network reset" to my SIM card and now all the issues are gone. Worth giving them a call and seeing if this fixes your problem. IMO VZW has the best customer service hands down, they are always so helpful and will make conversation with you during the luls while on the phone (IE when your phone is booting up).

I've been having this problem probably once a day since I've gotten the phone where my phone will lose data signal while switching between 3G and LTE and the only way to get data back is to restart the phone. Turning airplane mode on and off won't work either.
Ive had that issue too..but most of the time it switches back n forth no problem

These problems are probably bugs in the LTE System.

why should bugs in the LTE system affect 3G?
the 3G our phones use is not exactly the same as standard 3G unless you force your phone into EVDO 3G via the ##778 menu. which if you are not in a 4g zone I would recommend simply for stability. The 3G our phones use is basically a layer between 3G and LTE as I've had it explained to me.. I really don't know much else about it though, sorry. I'm sure someone else here can shine more light on it however.

damn.. i was actually hoping this was a small problem with a simple solution... everything else about the phone is perfect except for this one problem.
Having the same issue here....when switching to cdma I get no 3G just 1X.....hope they find a fix soon
Sent from my HTC Rezound
same here guys. call Verizon and let them know. I think it helps if a bunch of us make them aware.
I've had a ton of weird data issues with the Rezound. I get 1x where i should get 3g, i get 3g where i should get 4g and i get nothing way too often.
I've only had this happen once with the rezound. Shows nothing but bars, no data can be used. Sometimes switching to 3g or 4g in lte on/off helps.
Had this problem intermittently on both my wife's and my bolts, completely agree its just a lte being a new tech issue.
I've listened to a podcast on how the handoff works and its definitely not fool proof.

This changes your network from eHRPD back to EVDO Rev.A. For LTE phone owners, eHRPD causes 3G to die (most of the time anyway) when the LTE network has problems. Get back on normal EVDO and you're good to go.
^ from Jntdroid on another forum (not sure if we're allowed to post to other forums here) I'm not positive on where he got it from, but this is a capability of all HTC 4G phones
I've had occasional issues with being down to 1X, but even that was only during nationwide 4G network issues, definitely get in touch with VZW about that... not that they have enough sense to fix anything *sigh*
Data Connection slow to Acquire (3G/LTE)
If I'm on the subway, or somewhere with no service, then come above ground, I get voice (full bars) but no data -- it could take upwards of 3 minutes+ for data to come back up. Any thoughts?
I've been losing my 3G service throughout my city, being restricted to 1x so many times lately where I SHOULD be getting 3G!(4G isnt available in my area yet). It's really annoying...perhaps nexus isnt theeee only one...

Same issue as you. I live in a 3G area only and my 3G drops out a lot. Even a reboot doesn't get it back. Not sure what to do :/
Recently did the ICS upgrade, but realized ICS broke my phone shortly after.
I live in the mountains in an area where we use shared data with US Celluar (mountain in the way for the Verizon tower). So, I am always on roaming at my house. Drive a few miles out and I'm on Verizon tower but not at home.
After the update, my phone, texts and data do not work on the roaming US Cellular network but everything works fine on the Verizon network. What happens when I try to place a call is it will connect to the network, make the call but 4 second in (before any ringing or anything) I get the fast busy signal. Texts just fail as does data. I can receive calls and texts SOMETIMES. Other times the incoming call goes directly to my voicemail. I can test the phone and see a nice strong signal to the US Celluar network. I just can't seem to use it.
I reported the issue to Verizon on Monday (Saturday now), but they cannot figure it out. I've reset my phone to factory defaults with no luck. They say they have an open ticket without resolution.
So, I figure it's time to ask the community for any help.
Global data roaming access should be set to allow access for all trips
But I'm sure they suggested this.

Yeah, we messed with that
Dang - that sucks, hmmm, is you Preferred Network Mode "Global"?
In cases like this, I wish that Verizon had VOIP like TMO...
Another solution may be to turn in your phone as it may have gotten damaged some how... If you're still under warranty.
I wonder if the PRL version has anything to do with your problem.
I have a HTC REZOUND Verizon running liquid ROM my 3g never works and I never have LTE. Well the phone shows 3g but nothing works when its on 3g. Can some one help me please and thank you:good:

I set it to LTE/CDMA/EVDO. but still the same no working 3g or late. And idk if this has anything to do with it but when I got the phone they told me that the radio was flashed to work better on at&t so idk if that affects my Verizon network

Not sure what they meant by that, there's no AT&T specific radio. You may want to wipe the phone clean and start over on it.

Hi,
I have been experiencing a few issues with the 4G LTE on my LG V10 H901 (T-Mobile). What happens is this.
In Network mode I selected GSM / WCDMA / LTE Auto. This initially worked fine and could get a data connection. 2 days after, I noticed I couldn't get a data connection anymore, the 4G LTE icon at the top was displaying with a down arrow lit. So I went in the Network mode and checked my APN everything was ok. Decided to switch from GSM / WCDMA Auto where I got a 4G connection (icon 4G displayed at the top) and I finally got a data connection.. Changed it back to GSM / WCDMA / LTE Auto, and there I was back on LTE... I had to reboot my phone and that is when I noticed the same thing happened again!!! No LTE connection and had to first select GSM / WCDMA Auto to get 4G.. If I reboot with GSM / WCDMA Auto I get a data connection fine.. The problem only occurs when I have the Network mode on GSM / WCDMA / LTE Auto. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix?
Thanks
I would say it's a hardware problem with the phone I've had mine for a month i never touched network settings and the phone gets a better data connection then any phone I've ever had LTE pretty much all the time where other phones wouldn't maybe a factory reset would fix it worth a shot
The first V10 i got from T-Mobile had somewhat of a similar problem but with WiFi, it would connect but speed was horrible. And LTE isnt that great in my area either. I read around the forums and notice that many have done factory resets and that fixes everything. I did that and lowe and behold, it did. WiFi was fast again and LTE speed improved but still sucks....its my area, not the phones fault. For some reason, a reset helps.
However, I was still just 4 days in since I got my phone so I just went back and had them replace it. I just told them that the WiFi doesnt hold....they didnt really ask me tons of questions. I replaced it only because I am paying for the phone and me having to do a "fix" to make it work doesnt sound right...so I want a new good phone lol. The new phone worked fast from the get go...no reset needed.
Just got the V10 was having those wifi issues initially so brought phne back n exchanged for another 1 and this 1 workes fine but now Im having dropped call s inside my house ,verizon said no antenna issues i can bring phne back n replace for something else or another v10 but that is time consuming ,please anyone having drop d call s....I live Long Island NY so verizon overage is better then most carriers...INaNYmin...
I began having the exact same issue on Jan 16. Had the phone since Dec 25th, worked perfect. Then, all of a sudden, it began to lose LTE connectivity. At first I thought it was a down tower, but the problems persisted an eventually got much worse wherever I went. On a full charge the phone will behave normally for a while, but eventually it starts losing data connectivity altogether, cycling between 4G LTE, 4G, 3G, 2G, trying to connect. during this process the battery drains a lot, it never really connects, and sometimes calls and text messaging fail. Tried every network setting, soft reboot, hard reboot, safe mode, clear cache, factory reset....problem persists. T-mobile concludes it must be defective. We shall see. Awaiting a replacement.
Having the same issue. Looks like it's a common problem. Any fix for this yet?
I have a similar issue.
it always seems to find the LTE signal, however I have no data and the battery drains very quickly.
If I have it on GSM/WCDMA/LTE, it seems to have connection issues. However, the data will connect on GSM/WCDMA. Once I have data, then if I select GSM/WCDMA/LTE, and it will connect to LTE
It is a Tmobile version. I am using it on Bell (Canada)... however it works fine with Wind & Tmobile, with no issues.
I am hoping that this will be fixed with the Marshmallow upgrade.

Wind works on hspa not LTE. That's why it works. I've noticed that it works fine on hspa(4g) but when I put it on LTE(4gLTE) it works for a while then stops.

For me, Wind works fine on GSM/WCDMA or GSM/WCDMA/LTE
With Bell, it will not connect on GSM/WCDMA/LTE.
However, with Bell, if I put it on GSM/WCDMA, it will connect. Then if I change it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE, it will connect to Bell's LTE.
Occasionally, it will lose its data connection... and then if I toggle between GSM/WCDMA & back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE, it reconnects. This seems to happen once every 2-3 days
I don't know why it does this. It was actually very frustrating until I figured that out. I almost dropped Bell because I was not able to connect on LTE for the longest time!!
I just keep my Wind plan for the US roaming (on Tmobile LTE down there)

Yup exact same issue with me and that's how I resolve it as well I'm with koodo and I lose LTE. I was going to warranty this phone but I think it's a common issue.
I just want to quickly point out that I am seeing the exact same issue on Virgin Mobile (Bell). I also noticed that the performance of the phone decreases drastically when it is connected through mobile data instead of WiFi. Anyone else sees this and knows how to fix it?

I'm having a similar issue I get a 4G LTE signal but if I make a call once I end it I loose all signal including the bars it wont let me text or call it says network not available and it will do that till I travel a few miles. I'm not in a dead zone because it does it in the heart of the city and on the buisest streets in Tampa Florida then it will come back and sometimes I won't get a signal for a entire day out shoe have any solutions?
