thinking Verizon is having a bad day... cannot connect or force LTE and 3g eHRPD fails then I eventually get evdo A
also...##778# on my thunderbolt used to bring up a menu where I could alter the modern setting to only look for evdo rev a for 3g... which is a life saver in times like this... is that setting hiding somewhere on the DNA?
thanks in advance
and pardon the predictive text mistakes on lte, in, and modem lol
not having any issues with my DNA, but wife has not been able to get any data connection on her inc4g all day
edit: we live in central nj
In PA I've had very little data connectivity since 10:30 am

thanks for the 411...I'm in northwest Jersey... Sussex county so I bet they're having issues up in that neck of the woods..
out running errands and in Wayne now...4g back and running.. but I had nothing in northern Bergen county either until my phone finally found the evdo rev A there... tough when relying on it as your GPS!

nope.. on the HTC thunderbolt.. dialing ##778# would initialize an EPST menu where you would select edit mode...
from there at the password prompt you would put in 000000
at the full EPST menu you would select modem settings
in that sub menu.. select Rev A
by default it was set to eHRPD.. but if you changed it to enable, commit the modification and reboot,it would force rev a 3g data which was a godsend when Verizon was having LTE/ eHRPD outages... as they always seem to go hand in hand
I'm down in Wilmington, DE and was having issues up until about 2 hours ago. No data at all...

You could only do that because the thunderbolt had the weirdest radio set up known to man. It had 2 seperate radios in it.

Dallas/Richardson area here, having the same problem. Data only working on 4G, nothing on evdo/1x.
Same here on two Thunderbolts in Los Angeles. I actually haven't seen 3G at all since Friday night. Called Verizon and apparently there is an issue with 3G provisioning. They claim they are working on it and that there will be a fix in the next day. I know others say they fixed it with a hard reset but I don't want to do that if I don't have to, especially if its just going to break again later...

Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Weird. Mine never had that problem.
Did a factory reset now (since I hardly customized my phone yet), and it seems to have fixed the 3G problem. Not only that, but now I have the updated market! (Before the reset, I had the old market)
Go to the market and download Restart Connections. If you lose mobile network after switching to the proper setting, run that app.
Edit: This will also get rid of the need to do a factory reset to regain data connection

it worked for me after a while. i turned it on outside my house and it worked, but for some reason my home wouldnt let me switch
Had a similar issue. Figured out that when I switch from LTE to CDMA (PRL) it will switch to 3g, it can take a while, however if I power off the phone it will not connect on reboot to 3g again have to switch back to LTE and go to 4g and then switch back again. Hope this helps
3g just started working and i did nothing (other than going without internet for hours until it started working).
im blaming Verizon and my local network.
Has anyone else noticed their data speeds drop significantly after this latest update? At first I just figured they were doing something to the network, but here a week or so later I'm still getting around 100 - 200kb where I used to get 1mb.

Mine seems fine. I am running Eternity 3.0 with no issues. All I have is 3g in my area tho and I live out in the country side. Do you live in a big city were there is alot of folks hammering away on data?
I'm near cocoa beach so it's not uncommon for them to get this low during the day, but around now at one in the morning the they're usually good.
My upload speeds seem fine also, it's just my down stream data that is horrible.

I think it may have affected me also. At night I can still pull over 1 mb down on 3g. WiMAX I haven't been able to pull over 1 mb down my upload speeds are normal for both I'm not sure if its location related or update related. The other night I couldn't even download an app on 3g.
It is so noticeable! The latest update destroyed my data speeds. It's horrific now. Now, even in major cities I've never had a problem in, I struggle just to refresh a web page. Seriously, if I'm not on wifi I can't even use this anymore.

have no fluctuation here whatsoever, not even the slightest bit.
My speeds on 3G were always not so great and before and after the update they didn't budge to be honest.
Still waiting on the tower upgrade to be done near my house to fix the capacity issue it has. Too bad im told thats not set to be done till April 1st. lol
Love that they spent the time to do the voice capacity upgrade in December when Ive never ever had a dropped call here once, but data has always capped out at sub par speeds.
Believe me i check multiple times during the day and multiple servers on the speedtest app always in the same exact location and compare the same times of day and its funny to watch the speed i get at 6am be crushed by 11am when normal folk wake up. haha

Well like I said I'm on wifi all day and don't need LTE killing my battery for no reason. And, so I can still send or receive pictures.
LTE/Data is automatically disabled when you connect to wifi. No need to do anything. It will turn itself on automatically to receive/send mms.

That is Apple's "innovation" for you right there. This is Android. Android turns off cellular data when on wifi and only turns it on when needed for MMS.
You notice how when on wifi you don't see a 4g icon? Send an mms and you will see it pop up long enough for the message to be sent and then disappear.
That is your phone automatically enabling/disabling cellular data when needed/not needed.
Ok, well to get this back on track I'd like to force 2G or even 3G no matter what. Any solution for me?
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and hit phone information. Scroll down and in the drop down list and choose GSM Only. Reboot.

Nope. Even on wifi, say If you're sending or receiving MMS it will use your data (4G or LTE). Also, unless you have it turned on while the phone is asleep, your phone will switch back to 4G for downloading or synchronize data. 2G takes longer to download information because of he slower speed which causes the phone to drain battery because the phone would still be downloading the data.

The modem is restricted so you can't change the bands. It's set to switch to the best signal.
The idea of using 2G to save battery consumption is a wives tale. There isn't any difference anymore.
I would hope that's the only reason to want to switch to 2G!
But yeah, with current technology 3G/4G is no longer a battery killer like it once was. Especially on our state of the art awesome Galaxy Notes!
I do not agree with this entirely, because at college I only get 2g all the time! ANd my battery never gets below 75% when I am home it bounces from 3g/4g and even sometimes to 2g I live in a weird area lol...And my battery gets down to 30-35% when I am home doing the same things.....
The modem in the phone is on or off, and it doesn't downshift if it has to run on a lower band. It's like a light bulb -- on or off.
Don't take my word for it, google the topic and you can read what the engineers say.
You can't do the same things with 2G and 4G networks (at least not without pulling your hair out).
I must disagree with you, 2G and 4G switch is available in international GNote. So there is a way to swtch it. And if i am in zone of low 3/4G signal zone, it always switch to 2-3-4 G, so it also make the battery drain faster. In HOX AT&T there is a command you can dial some code and get into menu for switching Bands. There should be somthing like this in Note also.
There is a dial code for this modem but it is a restricted menu. You can't make a selection on it.

To get the option, you would need Samsung modem software and be able to edit the file and unrestrict the band selector. That is something that has never been leaked, unfortunately.
ranger captain is right, so...
this is what I did:
root
flash T-Mobile modem
*#2263#...
not sure if you are using att straight talk though.

That's actually a solution for this OP who wants 2G on Straight Talk network. If he follows your instructions, because of the hardware, all he will be able to get is EDGE connection for data.
