For the past 3-4 hours, my TB has shown 3-4 bars of signal but there is no 4g or 3g symbol next to the bars. When I go to surf the web or even do anything else it just doesnt load. Is the network down or what? I have a friend next to me with a droid 2 and his service is working fine so I'm wondering whats wrong.
Try putting it in Airplane mode, then back out.

Hmm, I've had a similar problem since late last night/early this morning. If I'm on 3G I have 3-4 bars but never get an active 3G connection. I can however switch to LTE only and after a couple reboots get 4G. I've tried toggling airplane and mobile data but that didn't help at all. Are you in North Eastern Florida by chance? The Thunderbolt uses a different kind of 3G from other 3G phones so it's entirely possible for us to not have 3G when other people do.
One time that happened to me , I took out my SIM card , put it back in and rebooted . After that I had a signal.

Currently I'm at work and I dont know the password here so no wifi. But I do have it at home. I'll try your sim card trick and see if that works

I had the same problem. I reset down to stock rom s-on. I did anything and everything. Since my wife has the same phone and hers had data symbol but mine didn't. But 24 hours later it went back on.... They already sent me a replacement but I sent it back. My was new. So I would suggest waiting 24 hours.

They'll mostlikely give you another one like they did mine. But like I said it came back on 24 hours later plus when i pull the battery and first boot up ill get 1x then when 3g pops I get no data icon.
I even swap my sim to my wife's tbolt and works great. Good luck

I've had periods where my Tbolt didn't want to connect to LTE or EVDO for a long time. It generally fixed itself after enough time. Usually way less than a day though. I'm close enough I could probably take a look at it. See if it's your phone or if mine does the same thing.

where abouts are you located? im in roseville. ive been all around today for work (clinton twp, detroit, harper woods and st clair shores) and no connection in either of them areas.
could it be that ive been flashing a stupid amount of roms/radios lately? im SERIOUSLY getting butt hurt because my gal keeps sending me what she calls "naughty pics" and im not able to download them!
thanks for the quick response from the boths of yous.
I'm in St. Louis, lost 4g this afternoon. Only 1x now. Could be Verizon, and nothing at all on your end. This is the first time I haven't had 4g since I got my bolt in May.
If its not Verizon, you could pull your sim for about 10 min, then pop it back in and power up the phone.

I'm down in Toledo at the moment. Things are working fine here. Only problem was the outage last night for a couple hours. Changed ROMs and radios since then, too, with no issue.

im mean NO DATA! nothing at all. no 1x,3g or 4g
weather widget is from when i restored the rom, it wont update
edit. did a sim pull for 10 mins and vuala 1x pops up then changes to 3g. about 10 seconds later BOOM! nothing... im gonna try a sim pull for like an hour and see what happens with that. shouldnt be any difference but its worth a shot.
This could be many things, most likely you'll need a new SIM, youll need to unroot and restore stock, go into VZW, they'll give you a new one.

I'm in the same boat! Randomly lost all data a day or 2 ago. Tried everything soo far. Assumed my sim card is dead But people say it's a network problem. I get 3g in Rev.A mode. But nothing in normal mode. I'm pissed. Willing to try a new sim card but not unrooting my phone just for a sim. What would happen if you brought a rooted phone into Verizon. I just want a sim. Would they deny you service? Or put a note on your account stating your phone has been rooted and to void your warranties?
Last time I went to the store I knew more about the phone than all three reps combined. I doubt they would even know its rooted.
Put my phone in LTE mode and got 4g back finally.

If you were returning it, yeah, then I'd go back to stock. But, for a sim swap, you can power it off, and pull the sim for them, they won't even notice it when it boots. Unless of course your boot sound is F*** Verizon or something

im convinced its my phone. went into verizon today and the reps tbolt was working fine both 3g and 4g. we did a sim swap and still nothing although, i did get like 2 mins of 4g love about 3 hours after the sim swap but then right back to nothing after it downloaded some pics from texts.
does this have anything to do with it?
i need some help here
spent an hour on the phone with Verizon and they said the netowrk in my area was fine. After all was done and said they are shipping me a new sim. Today when I woke up my phone had a data connection. I haven't shut it off or anything since the tech call.

My phone has randomly started dropping data, and from the hints I gather around the forum this is a normal thing? Or is it a hardware problem? My phone didn't do it the first couple weeks I had it, and now it seems like a regular occurrence.
If You're talking about 4g data, that's happened with every single 4g phone I've ever used.
Mine drops 4G constantly. It is really beginning to piss me off...

It's weird because the data speeds on the Rezound (by speedtest) blow the Thunderbolt away, yet it seems to have these more basic connectivity problems.
I've never lost 4G actually.
Never lost 4G unless it was an outage.

Has everyone who is losing 4g taken the radio upgrade? I really don't drop 4g/lte ever, but when I go inside my job it sometimes switches to 3g but it's almost an instant switch after the radio update.

I've never dropped data on the Rezound. Unlike the GNex I used to have that couldn't hold a data connection.
Well I jynxed myself, I had posted a few hours ago I've never had any problems and surely enough, my 4G was still connected with full bars but just stopped responding until I went into airplane mode and back out. I don't know what that was about but I'm mostly fine.

I used to have that happen all of the time. Even had it happen w/ my Samsung phones on Sprint. Basically the upload arrow would stay lit, the download would stay off, and it would just sit there.
So far I haven't had it since the OTA. *crosses fingers*
That's what I have to do, but for some reason can't get 3g

I drop it occasionally but it is likely due to bad service.
Normally very reliable here, but had one day last weekend, and again today seemingly that things were flaky. Had the 3g randomly drop out. When it was up I would see the upload arrow going full speed ahead but no down, and couldn't surf. Connection would drop and start again and could surf. Horrible speed test results.
So my issue from yesterday persisted and a mms wouldnt even send this morning. Tried airplane mode but when coming out of it the radio wouldnt come back on seemingly. Rebooted and all is well again. Weird. Cant be hardware if a reboot fixes id think.

I had a Thunderbolt and it dropped constantly. With the Rezound , I've had very minimal data drop and have yet to see 1G since removing LTE On/Off.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Well, my data is perfect again, so im guessin vzn 3g was down or something n nvr told anybody. Cuz my aunt's eris wasnt gettin data

-I woke up to no data connection (had data the night before)
-Called Verizon CSR and he said data was disabled to get my attention due to minute overages and it would be reactivated.
-Only could achieve 1xRTT connection.
-Reinstalled/installed multiple roms and kernels to no avail.
-Went back to stock, still only 1xRTT data.
Called Verizon CSRs multiple times only to have them tell me it shows that im fully functional to their system, go to Verizon store.

This morning I awoke to find my phone had no signal. I usually have 4g in my place, so I found this a little odd. I waited it out thinking it might be some temporary issue, but at 10am I ruled that out and called Verizon. I spoke with a CSR and he told me the issue was that they had "disabled my data connection to get my attention." This was to inform me that I had gone over my monthly minute allowance, which I was already aware of. So I told the CSR I would upgrade to 900 minutes for the remainder of the billing cycle. Then he said my phone should be fully functional, but turned out it wasn't. I still had no data, only voice. I fiddled around with some settings in "Radio Info", available in settings with the rom I was using. I finally got it to get 1x data somehow. Then I spent my entire free time trying different roms, kernels, etc to wind up where I am now, back to stock. I followed the guide to get unrooted and back to stock and on "2.02.605.11 STOCK RUU EXE." And I still only have 1xRTT. What's next?
*edit* I forgot to mention that no matter what I did; reflashing, reinstalling, it always showed the same kernel under "Software" in settings. That is, 2.6.35.13-gf1931dc.
lmao to get your attention? what a bunch of assclowns. they ever hear of PICKING UP A DAMN TELEPHONE? I swear, there's no real customers service anymore.
other than that man, it's their end most likely. they messed it up. probably nothing you can do.

I had this happen last Saturday. Went to verizon and was told that they have been upgrading for the last month and that some phones are affected and others are not. Why that would be couldn't be explained to me by the representative. All I had been getting was 1x, 3g every once in awhile during the day, with no 4g at all.
I was running ICS roms and kept having overheating upwards of 125 degrees. I thought I had fried something lol. Finally a day or so ago, 4g magically started working again.

I went to the Verizon store after work today. The CSR I spoke with on the phone apparently put a lock on my account while they looked into the problem, therefore the retail guy couldn't reactivate my account. So he went with plan B and tried reformatting my phone and that did nothing. So he gave me a SIM card and told me to call Customer Support tomorrow.
I had1x for most of the day today.

Been having a problem lately, my Amaze simply refuses to connect to the T-Mobile network. No matter how many times i reboot it, or how many times i turn airplane mode on or off, it just says "No Signal". I've cleaned all the contacts inside the battery cover, and even went as far as bending them slightly so they have better chance of contact. Any ideas? In some places here in town (including my house) i had at least 2 or 3 bars of 4G, now absolutely nothing, not even 2G. Even went to Energy ROM, still nothing. Can anyone offer any insight?
Sounds like something broke with hardware. Have u tried flashing ruu in bootloader and seeing if going back to stock fixed it?

Get a new SIM card.
Yeah, i have the old style SIM, but never updated to my new 4G SIM. I guess now's as good a time as any. Will post results.
Update: Had them activate my "4G" SIM card. Phone is still showing no signal, but technically they DID tell me it could take up to 2 hours to register. Fingers crossed.

Call them again and have them walk you through attempting to get it to work. I think you need a new phone. Hopefully they have them in stock!
this is happening to me too! for the past week called Tmobile 4 times all they ever said was to reboot my phone, i was on stock ICS then downgraded to gingerbread and did the OTA ics. its actually working now for me tho.. well kinda. Phone was working perfectly last night woke up mobile data wasnt connected. Put it on airplane mode rebooted turned airplane mode off, now my phone is working perfect again. Might get my phone exchanged tho. Im always tweeting and i cant because cant connect to mobile network. This is seriously annoying lol.
