[Q] Have 3G/4G but no Internet - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have had my thunderbolt now for over a year, everything has been smooth until now. I have 3g and 4g according to my phone but the actual internet does not work. So I am assuming it is receiving no data. The only time internet works on my phone is when I am connected to wifi. Obviously this can be very annoying.

I am unsure of what radio I have, I think it could be the problem though.
Any thoughts?

I have had similar issues on other roms. Have you tried putting the phone in airplane mode for a short period of time and taking it back out?

Just tried this, nothing happened. Says I still have 4g but won't work with any internet applications.

Is background data turned on?
Menu > Settings > Accounts and Sync
Background Data: check it if not already
Roaming access for all trips checked?

Also Enable always-on mobile data if not checked
What radio DO you have?
Menu > Settings > About Phone >Software Info > More > Baseband version
You may well need a new Sim from Verizon if none of that helps.

1.48.00.0906w_1, 0.01.78.0906w_2
I just updated to MR3 I think it was, and that actually seems like it might be doing the trick. I have data now, but I have only 1 bar when I think I normally would have full bars.

See how that does then I suppose.
Or you can try the newest radios if you want.
You may possibly be due for a new Sim card.
They tend to wear out after a while and sometimes a new one fixes these types of issues.
THESE ARE FROM THE LATEST OFFICIAL VERIZON OTA:
2.11.605.19
CDMA: 1.49.00.0406w_1

Can I just put both of those on my SD card and it will do its work? Or should I do them separately?

That link should be the all in one .zip.
If it wasn't, you'd have to do them separately.
Don't forget to rename them after flashing, so you don't have troubles booting to recovery later on.

So I click on the LTE link. And then once I flash it I am good? Sorry, just want to make sure, and not brick. Will remove once I am done, don't like to rename. Still scares me!

Yes, its all the same link.
I inserted the link into both radio names.
There's just one link, flash it and you're done.

My pleasure.
Hopefully your reception gets better as well.
If it continues to show poor signal, do check with Verizon for a new Sim card.
Being rooted doesn't matter. They don't need to see the phone even.
But make sure they do activate it. Either then or over another phone.
Easier done at the store though.

My phone is having the same Data issues and a new SIM card did not help. My phone will show no 3g/4g until I reboot it and then its fine for a few hrs. I have tried several different ROMs and RADIOS with no fix.

If you have tried all the settings I suggested on the last page and also tried a new sim and still have issues,
it's either your phone, or Verizon to blame most likely.
So if you haven't tried adjusting your settings like I mentioned on the last page, try that.
Also, it's worth trying the ##778 modem tweak in THIS THREAD as well.

Is there anyway to do the modem tweak on a cm7 rom? ##778 just connects a call, I've installed the apk and same issue. Would it work if I just installed the stock dialer?

Data - Gone? Help?

Okay, I live in Grand Rapids area if that makes any difference. But everything was running fine and dandy on BAMF stripped 2.1. Then, yesterday, my data cut out completely. Wouldn't come back with a reboot, multiple toggles from data on/off, battery pull, nothing worked. So I decided I'd switch ROMS to Gingertheory 4.5. That worked for a little bit, but then it cut out again. So then I switched from the MR2 radio to MR2.5. That also worked for a little bit, but now it's cut out again. I feel like it might be a hardware issue... I don't know what to do!! Heeelllllppppppppp!!!

Try removing the SIM card and putting back in, or (as in my case) the SIM card had gone bad and needed to be replaced at the Verizon store.

Try *228 and update your PRL. if that doesn't work. ..
Try installing a Froyo Rom.. (I would recommend MR2 Froyo 1.66 plainjane by Jcase).
See if that works.. Data issues are usually radio/sim card etc.. more than ROM.. but it could be ROM too..

Well, I guess you were right. While all my friends had data, I did not. It came back today...
My SIM died on me this morning. I was basically sitting in the shadow of a tower and could not get data, even though i had full bars, until i switched to CDMA only mode. Stopped by the vzw store after work, tested my SIM in another TB, did the same thing, 10 minutes later I was leaving with a new SIM and working 3G

[Q] 4G

I don't know if its just me but I no longer have 4G on my TB. I've been using the 704 Radio for a long time and never had issues with 4G. All of a sudden today, no matter what rom I load, I have no 4G. I did call Verizon today for some personal info and there was a recording regarding issues with devices but I forgot to get more info on it. I know I have 4G coverage in my area so idk what's going on..Can anyone Chime in and lmk what they're experiencing..Thanks
i havent had any issues with mine today, have you tried to flash a different radio? or perhaps you should try the ##778# method to turn off 4g and switch the cdma only and then revert back
Moved to Q&A
^ +1
Aside from the typical cliche of reminding you to put your flame suit on, has one considered that it may be location related and had you checked a local Verizon store to determine if their 4G units are experiencing like problems?
The key to basic troubleshooting is to rediscover the basic fundamentals of the obvious solutions, available to you, prior to stepping to the in-depth possibilities that may exist otherwise. - shawnathan9

Just a heads-up...radios are not included in roms. Rom threads simply state which radios they work with but it seems users think that means those roms are including the radio which is incorrect. You will need to flash a radio in bootloader (not recovery) if you want to try a different one.

I've loaded dozens of roms and understand that Radios do not come with any rom. I also know how to flash radios as well. Thanks for your input anyways.

I didn't mean to offend you or anything. Just a common mistake and something in the last comment made it sound like you thought they were in roms so I wanted to mention it. I suppose I read too much into it.
Try enabling Wifi for a while....then turning it off.
Every once in a while when I flash a new ROM (seems to happen more on AOSP based) it starts off in 1x, then LTE...then 3G.
Sometimes you just gotta let it settle... But I've found using WiFi, then turning it off and using the LTE on/off app (it's the same as the ##, just quicker) you can get LTE working.
Finicky....but it works...

Go back to MR2.5 704 is great in the cities, but it tightens up tolerances too much for other areas. Another issue with MR3 aka 704 is that 3G data is wicked touchy when your dealing with 96dbm and higher. MR2.5 was a release and I have good reason to believe the next radio release be it official/final or leaked will be more loose like 2.5
Again everyone's experience will very, speaking of averages here. Also
Thanks for all the feedback guys..Tried all the tricks but no go..I got 4G away from my home near work but I get here at home, No 4G. I called VZW and they verified I should have 4G in my area. I didn't wanna troubleshoot the TB w/tech support cuz it's rooted and the info they may ask for, will not be what they're expecting since am running custom rooted rom..ready5, I just loaded the 2.5 radio and No 4G still..IDK what's really going on?
approx how long ago was the last time you had 4G at your home? Did you change anything since then can can perhaps revert back to a previous backup. and just to confirm, on a fresh reboot you see absolutely no 4G at all from home
NY, I believe I had 4G w/CM7 and kobes rom..Am going to attempt to restore one of y backups and see..I have no clue what went south here..When I get to work, I do have 4G but again, my home area, no 4G and Am told by Verizon, Am supposed to have 4G. I just loaded UBER bamf and no 4G either. I located this confusing Thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048128) and tried the GB d/lds and still no 4G

GSM/CDMA... Not even sure what to put on the subject line.

So I just wanted to share something really weird and ask if anyone has ever seen anything like it before.
I recently flashed the last AOKP update, and my phone was running phenomenally. I went out last night and my battery died because I forgot to charge it... No biggie. Got home, turned it on, no signal. Odd, since I have pretty decent service in the area. After doing the usual troubleshooting of cycling airplane mode, I tried pulling the battery and sim. That also didn't work. I went into settings to check my APNs, and instead of the usual menu, I saw only 4 options. The option to select APNs wasn't even there. The last one said "Set CDMA..." something. I forget the rest. Wish I had remembered to take a screenshot. In "About Phone", my baseband was blank. Tried reflashing back to LC5 radio. Still nothing. Did a full wipe and reflash of the ROM, and that got me back in business. Right now, all is well. I was just unaware that a phone could magically switch over to CDMA, even if there is no CDMA radio in an i777.
Any thoughts on the cause?
EDIT:
ROM: Task's AOKP 4.14
Kernel: Stock
Radio: UCLL6 when issue started. Now on UCPLC5
Not an issue that's related to the rom, as far as I know. Unless others have reported this issue and I've missed it. If you do a full wipe and re flash as you've done and don't install any programs for a good 24 to 48 hours, and nothing of the sort happens again, odds are it has something to do with an app you installed. Unless your service provider maybe was experiencing problems at the time.

No, definitely an anomaly. Not something that anyone else has reported. I called AT&T to verify if there were any issues in the area or with my account, and everything checked out. I haven't downloaded a new application in months. I restored from TiBu right after reflashing and everything is still good. Like I said, not trying to report it or anything; just looking for thoughts.
You meant APN and baseband NEVER come to live? If that's the case, then I haven't heard or read any report about it.
If it's up and running like normal AFTER 5 minutes, then it's has been reported many many times last week.

This is what I thought. I have a feeling that since AOKP is based of CM, there is code built in to support both CDMA and GSM. Somehow, the software glitched, and made the switch.

I am unlocked, SOFF, all that jazz, was using CM10 but things got hosed with play store so figured I'd look for an update and 11 was there. I didn't even think about the fact that there was a 3G Sensation as well. (TMobile BTW)

Phew, well Goo.im came on the new image so I poked around. I found some newer files which looked like they indicated tmobile. They did not but it reminded me that images should be tagged pyramid.
Found cm-11-20140109-Sultan-pyramid.zip and that was able to install over the previous CM 11 and this time I've got phone!
So thank you for replying!
Out of curiosity can you mix a previous RCDATA.IMG with a newer kernel?
My next step if I couldn't find anything was going to be editing the file manually to match the one from an earlier OTA pack:
Code:
QCT_UMTS_RADIO_VER=1
DisH=2
AGPSNVSetting=1
EnDTM=0

HSDPACat=10
HSUPACat=6

[Q] Must cycle Airplane mode between texts

I had CodeFire on my DNA for about a month. All was running well. I just installed whatever was current around 2/23 and never installed a nightly update. Last week, I started having problems texting. I thought the ROM was going belly up on me. So I flashed SlimKat. I still cannot text without cycling Airplane Mode in between each. Alternatively, I can wait about an hour to sent a subsequent test message after a successful one.
I just re-flashed the latest radio hoping that would fix it. I'm at a loss. Do I need to call VZW and have them do something on their end?

The kit kat roms are ported. There are several issues with them that cannot be "fixed" until the source code is released. If the phone does not respond to any commands including trying to boot.... leave it on a factory charger for 24 hours. Then try to work with it

What do you mean by "phone is dead"? Completely non responsive or no signal. I've been on cfx since I ported it over with no issues besides the random signal drop here and there. But that's maybe a few times per week and happens to me on all ROMs. What do you wipe when flashing a new ROM? Have you tried a RUU?

Dead as in Roaming again. My apologies for the exaggeration. I'm a bit frustrated here. I cannot seem to win with this thing. I hated my Thunderbolt at the end, but at least it worked. RUU brings back mobile data and texting. I've tried CM 10.2 several times. Each time, it gets stuck in roaming. I cannot change the NV setting. Changing it, then checking it again and it's right back. I've tried flashing with the SIM in. With it out. I've cycled Airplane mode a few times. Rebooted. Installed GApps. Rebooted. Cycled Airplane mode. I'm missing something. Apparently.
I just want a phone without Sense or the Verizon crap. CFX was awesome until this texting issue.

EDIT: Just installed the latest CFX and AGAIN I have the god blessed SMS issue. I can't sent sequential texts. I have to turn on Airplane mode after each one before sending the next.

omfg. I just installed a stock Odexed, Rooted 3.06.605.4. SMS works but now I'm stuck in 3G. Is there a ROM out there that works so I can use my phone for work and play or should I Just suck it up and put it back to a full stock OTA ROM?

Have you considered hardware issues? If it was a ROM issue it wouldn't be a one person issue. Or provide a log of what's happening when you send SMS. You're just not giving us much to go by, except what's not working. Are you doing full wipes between flashing roms, or just cache or factory resets?

Full Wipes between flashes.
I've had this phone for about two months. I initially had issues flashing CM and being stuck in roaming. No CM ROM I attempt to flash will work. They always end up stuck in roaming. I think the problem is that I can't switch from NV. When I change it, it always goes right back. Not sure what's up there.
I just flashed ★ ☆ [ROM/RADIO][4.2.2] Stock 3.06.605.4 | Rooted | Odex-Deodex | Sense5 And now SMS works, but I'm stuck in 3G.
I hadn't considered hardware only because with each ROM, the previously broken feature works, but then something new pops up.
With one, I can text, but am in 3G. With another, I've got 4G but can't text without cycling Airplane mode.
I sincerely apologies for coming off as a d!ck. I've nothing to contribute to the community but my bug reports and money. It's frustrating to see how quickly some phones are abandoned, though.
I've always been thankful for everyone's help and tried to offer bug reports and donations where applicable.
I just want my phone to work, with a plain vanilla OS and tethering. I don't need Sense. I don't need fancy mods. Just a phone that works.
Please accept my apology, and thanks again for the help.

Have you considered the fact that the recovery itself is causing your issues? I would give TWRP a try to see if there are differences. TWRP is a must to flash KitKat roms and the version used is critical.

Nope. I didn't consider that. Because most of my problems were with CM 10.2.1. Which is JB, correct?
That being said, I've tried both CW and TWRP to no avail. After being stuck in 3G for two days across multiple ROMs, I'm convinced the hardware went belly-up.
New SIM?
HTC DNA
LG Optimus G

Santod has a process to recover the unit from the conditions you describe. It is fairly simple and doesn't appear to require much time.
I don't have time to search for it at the moment.

I did lots of searching before asking. I try to do my due diligence before bothering you all.
The replacement phone did not resolve the problem. The replacement SIM did.
Now on to bigger and better things. Thanks for putting up with me.
And now I can't text without cycling Airplane mode again.

Are you certain it was Santod? He's only got 19 posts on this board and I don't see anything directly related to the SMS problem I'm having.

Since my last update, I've received a new DNA, and a new SIM card.
Check out the last few posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51465109
This is bizarre. Either I'm doing something wrong, or... I don't know. SMS works on a stock ROM but not on a custom ROM, with a new phone, with a new SIM.
I think you are doing something wrong.
RUU the latest firmware, factory reset, wipe data, cache, and system, install a ROM and DO NOT restore anything.
I think youre not completely wiping and/or are restoring things.
