When I first got my phone I had no problems with getting an almost constant 4g signal everywhere around my house (right outside Philly) and school (right outside Rochester) and it stayed that way up until about mid June. Now my phone does some odd things depending on the radio that it on. On the 1.02.605.6 radios, it seems like 4g cuts in and out, but isn't there most of the time, on the 2.01.605.11 radios, I have no problem getting a 4g signal, however after using anywhere between 5MB and 250MB of data, it will completely disconnect from all radios, and I have to turn mobile network off and back on again to reconnect. I can turn it off and on about 10 or 15 times before it stops working completely and I have to restart the phone. On the 3.11.605.22 radios, I never see a 4g signal, no matter what I do or where I am I cannot get these radios to connect to 4g at all. I have tried different combinations of radios, hboots, and custom/stock roms with no luck. At first I assumed it might be my back cover of the phone because I swap batteries instead of charging my phone and the back wasn't fitting as snug as it did when I first purchased the phone, but I have since purchased a new back and the issue still remains. The last thing that I can think of that it could possibly be is the sim card, but could it be the sim card if I connect to 4g with no problem on the 2.xx radio? Has anyone ever experienced any issues like this before? Does anyone else have any suggestions that I could try? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Go into hboot and do a factory reset from there

To add to this you need the stock recovery in order for the factory reset to work

I've experienced similar problems in that timeframe. (Stock, if that matters.)

This was going to be my next question, as I vaguely remember trying to do a factory reset from the bootloader on my inc and needing to reflash the stock recovery before I did.
Also, is doing a factory reset from hboot much different from using the RUU? I mean I know when you do the factory reset everything is not reflashed, but is it possible that if flashing the RUU did not fix my problem, that a factory reset possibly could? I am going to try it either way because I want this to work properly and I really appreciate the input from everyone.

Thats okay, all information is appreciated. I am thinking that it may be a problem with my phone specifically, because my dad has the same phone, and we are currently in the same Hotel room in Boston, and he is getting a decent 4g signal and I am not getting one at all.

My thunderbolt started off with das bamf 1.7 and I flashed the Ginger Alpha radio. It worked great for 4-5 days then I left my home area where I normally have 4G. When I got back no 4G i even checked my buddies phone and it has*4G*right next to mine.
I already tried flashing a*stock RUU and trying a bunch of different MR1 radios. It can connect to 3G but will drop the connection a lot no matter what radio I flash. And no 4G at all.
Thanks in advance for any help
I am having the same issues with mr2 and the new ota radio. You don't happen to be on metro detroit are you? This has been going on for days now. I may have to flash the stock locked rom and return phone if out doesn't improve soon.

ive been loosing 4g as well here in west michigan over the weekend with the new OTA. ill see how the phone acts at work today.
I am actually have the opposite problem. I can lock into 4g fine, but I can not get a 3g signal. This is with the radio from the last ota

O good im not alone. Bowtie26 I had to reset to factory again and then let the OTA go through with S-on but I still cannot connect to 4G. So I dont think setting it back to factory settings helps. Im in Portland, OR.

maybe your sim card is on the fritz. I'd try to get another one.
Yeah I guess I never thought of that, do you think that my phone would still display the SIM ID if the card was bad though?

it could. Sim cards are notoriously unreliable, and can partially function. If you have gone back to stock already, wouldn't hurt to visit a verizon store and if not and you have a buddy with a thunderbolt, you could swap sims and see if that works.
Yeah Ill do that and report back. Thanks good idea
Alright definitely not the SIM card. Tried it for a day and still no 4G.
I lost 4g today as well in NYC. as did three of my coworkers with thunderbolts.
do you have any idea what radio your co-workers were using?

I'm on MR2 official. Both of them are on MR1. i'm on cm7, another is on cm7, one is on stock MR1 OTA (rooted).
weird. This problem doesnt seem to specific. did you ever flash the Ginger Alpha radio?
Flashed the OTA (.627) yesterday and it was worse for me than the MR2.5 leak. Went back to the MR2 leak, everything is fine. In St. Louis - 4g pretty much everywhere. With the .627 the phone locked on 3g most of the time. Didn't swap for a new sim though - with MR2 stable for now.

i have tmobile and i keep getting no service on top, i dont know what to do, im running ICS OTA, and i flashed the eng hboot now i cant get service.
Is that all you really did? Just flash ENG hboot?
yup, lol. it sucks, called tmobile also, was on stock and they just told me to hard reset.
How did you flash the hboot? Via hboot or some other way? Though that's pretty much the easiet.
yep. i can normally fix anything i do to my amaze, but one minute ill have 4G working next thing it reboots, and i can't connect to mobile network, I switch it on and it only says turning on... and it sticks like that. and sometimes if it reboots it just says no service. like at all. i can Tmobile 4 times now. and yet, nothing. weird.
flashing a different hboot has no effect on your signal.
yesh, i know, just thats weird. It started on saturday, and until now, like when im asleep, it'll turn off service, or it'll reboot by itself, wake up saying send report to HTC, and on top where it has the carrier it says NO SERVICE.
Deleted - Wrong thread
Just reflash a stock RUU or restore your backup if you made one, probably messed some file up by accident, somehow.
yeah, i did that. flashed gingerbread, updated to ics OTA, still being dumb.

Open the back of you phone and make sure the contacts are all clean on both the cover and the phone, then try again, if not call tmobile, it's probably a faulty device or something. Never heard of that happening, even after reflashing complete stock.
yeah i know its weird, and i had this device since november, which RUU would you recommend i flash? maybe the one i flashed like you said was faulty,
Once you flash a basic stock, you should be fine, maybe it's a hardware problem, phone fell down anytime lately?

Is your phone dropping calls? Are you Missing call or text? I doubt it, it's not that the ICS OTA made our signal worse, it's just that they finally fixed the signal itself to show exactly what signal we're getting and not just random numbers, as long as no calls are being dropped, etc. Why try to fix what's not broken?
i finally got everything working except for mobile network, my phone would reboot when i would try to refresh my twitter, i saw a thread on someones mobile network not working, im going to see there.
Do you mean your data isn't working? Check your apn settings, mobile network and data are not the same dude.
nothing was working at first, couldnt call of receive, now i can but mobile network is still buggy.
I have a weird issue with the phone- I have not decided yet if its problem with hardware or software.
At the first step, without change nothing, Suddenly a sharp drop at signal strength began. few days after, my phone stop connect to network at all. In the "operator select" screen, my operator appear but I get error "selected network unavailable".
I tried factory reset without succes. The only thing that worked was sbf to stock- but the signal still low and again, after few days, the connection lost.
I'm using gsm in israel- Already tried many rom's, so can't use warranty.
Maybe there something I can try before I give up?
Do you have better signal with some other phone?
Try another simcard.
Did you flash any radio as you wanted to do some days ago? Not all the SBFs change your radio, and maybe a bad radio is installed on your phone.
בבקשה ממך אל תענה לי בשבת. כניסת שבת בשבע ודקה ויציאת שבת בשמונה.
I asked about the other radio because this problem, but I didn't got a sure answer so I left the idea. I tried other sim but the problem didn't gone. And others phones works well at same place where the Photon doesn't. I ordered new sim from different operator- I will report after.
In case I want flash radio without full sbf, is it possible? Can I save my data without all the backups methods?

You can try KKDI radio here.
There are also 2 radios listed here, but ask someone with experience (like peetr_) before you try one of them. If you flash one, make sure it's the one for your build.

Hi all, I've had my DNA since launch and its had this very odd WiFi problem where it keeps turning on and off randomly. I've tried to fix it by running those special WiFi fix apps, custom roms and kernels, but nothing has fixed it. I've RUU'd my phone back to stock and my phone says LOCKED, however it still says S-Off. I was going to go to Verizon today to get a replacement because the WiFi is un-usuable on this phone. Is there a way to get S-On or will they even care? Thanks.

I'm about to do S-OFF myself then RUU. Because I want to get mine to say locked again. I've got to goto Verizon and get a replacement, my sim slot keeps having issues. I hope all goes well by doing it the way I'm going to do it...
I'm also nervous about the S-Off being there when I return it
They won't even care.
But there is a way to get s on(its a single adb command iirc) that you can do if you really want to.
And as far as your Wi-Fi problem. Have you tried a different router. I have 2 routers at my house. On one of them it drops out constantly while on the other I haven't ever had a drop

I have an IP lease issue with one of my access points and it causes my phone to do that. Rebooting the access point cures it so i can tell from that and some troubleshooting that it has to do with the router/access point/device connection process and a certain time period. Just haven't had a chance to look into it.
So a few days back I decided to install cloudy and messed with the build.prop a little bit. I was having 3g and roaming issues so I decided to try jasmine v2. Same issues there as well. Then I went back to v1.1 and now I'm back on fully rooted stock. My problem is if I fully pull the battery, wait a few seconds, and then boot back up I am able to get 4g for about 10 seconds or so, after which time the phone always mysteriously jumps back to 3g and never leaves from there. Seriously weird. While I was having the issues with Cloudy I dialed *228 because I read something about updating the preferred roaming list (and looking back I realize I shouldn't have done this!), but I always get 4g for a few seconds after booting up still...it just always goes away. Anyone have any useful suggestions?
I'd stop by a verizon store or give them a call and get a new sim card.

I might be stuck doing this, as since Cloudy I've tried Jasmine 2.0, 1.1, the stock root deodex rom by Beans, all with normal wipes and advanced wipes prior to flashing. Lol I even used my Verizon to temporarily switch my phone line to an old crappy non-smartphone I have laying around and then back to the G3 thinking maybe possible that could somehow "restore" proper programming or something, all with no dice! Needless to say, it was a late night at that point.
Then I got to thinking, that maybe the full restore guide here on XDA (that I've used before) might do a more "full" restore than simply flashing a new rom. So I did that, and so far my issue appears to be fixed! More testing is still needed at this point, but if there's anyone who comes across similar issues, you might try that. I'll report back once I know for sure if this was the solution. Thanks!
You don't *228 a 4G phone, they update their PRLs, on their own, on boot. You may have fried your SIM card.

Yep...as the OP clearly says, looking back I realize I shouldn't have done that It didn't hurt my SIM card.....I'm not an expert by any means, but I feel like something must have somehow gotten seriously borked with the radio or something, I really don't know - all I know is using the "full restore to stock" instructions with the .tot and LG flash tool, everything is back up and running great again. Figured I'd share my experiences on the off chance anyone else has any similar issues!
So, have you re-done all the work to reinstall Cloudy ? If so, did the 4g to 3g drop problem return ? I am not sure from following thus threading the problem was with Cloudy.

I'm not sure exactly where the problem came in, whether from Cloudy or not, but I'm not refreshing it to find out lol, as I was still having definite drop to 3g and never return problems, along with it saying I was roaming during those times. I'm just gonna stick with the stability of the rooted stock US rom for now
