I finally managed to upgrade my RAZR to ICS manually yesterday; however, now it seems that my 4G connection is poorer than before. For example, at work I used to have full/ almost full bars for 4G and now I only pick up 3G.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or know how to correct it?
Thank you,

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.
Is there some reason I have absolutely horrible reception on att in in Orlando, FL area? I have tried everything and I can't reception except very rarely in certain areas. My captivate gets reception almost everywhere and I can't get my GS2 to connect to a tower hardly at all. I tried updating to stock KF1 with the JVKE4 CSC and XXKE7 Phone base band and it made no difference at all. Its not an issue of APN settings cause I get absolutely no signal bars anyways, when i do get signal it works fine which is only in certain areas not certain times, its all the time. Anyone have any ideas of what I should change to make it work? anyone in the central florida area that has working GS2 that could share their settings with me so I can use this awesome phone? wonder if I just got a bad one and just need to return it and get another one? anyone have an idea on that? the phone doesn't even find a tower with roaming on also.
Hi guys, sorry if this isn't the place to post this, I don't have the post count yet to ask in the CM7 thread in the development section.
Anywho, ever since I flashed CM7 on my phone, I haven't been able to get a good HSPA+ connection. It keeps wavering from H+ to 3G. And if I do get a connection to H+, it is dead slow (did speakeasy speed test and got .4 down .1 up).
I also did the ATT data fix, but that seems to not work either.
Any help to my problem?
Mine seems to jump between 3G & H but I never thought to blame it on the ROM. Speeds are solid on both so didn't see it as an issue. Also I flashed CM7 right when I pulled it out of the box so don't know if it did that on stock or not.

The only reason why I think it may have something to do with CM7 is because before I was unrooted stock rom, and I had consistent H+ signal, with 6-7 down 2 up. Ever since I flashed, it has been very sluggish. Even my old Desire had consistent H+ signal in the areas tested. Not sure what's going on. Maybe it's a setting that I need to tweak or turn on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
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.

Ever since the 12B update I consistently drop off 4g , when I do have 4g I only get two to three bars, and wifi connection also is weak when connected. Speed tests on both 4g and wifi are significantly slower than Before 12b update. Anyone else having similar issues?
I called vzw, rep stated it sounded like a hardware issue, which I am not saying isnt a possibility but the odds of both wifi and 4g antenna failing simultaneously after the update seems far fetched.
Any idea on a fix? Is it possible to flash JUST a previous baseband/modem/radio (call it what you want) without touching the software version of the os?

I flashed 12B, 11C modem and then 12B again. Still good. Didn't see any significant differences.

Yes, but you have to be rooted and twrp installed.
See the Reference thread in the general forum for the modem file and install instructions.

Thanks for the help. I flashed 11c modem and ran speed test . As you can see ,the tests on 29th were on 12b. The test on 30th is with 11c modem.img. All test ran in the same location. Hope this helps someone else. Thanks again
Lots of variables

I like Speedtest, but on the same device at the same location with no changes, I often get large variations in speeds only a few minutes apart. I'm not saying there isn't a problem (I haven't had a problem with mine on 12B), but results are hugely affected by the selected server and time of day. Try several servers to find the most consistent one in your area.
