I recently flashed my thunderbolt, and simply am stuck trying to get 3g to work. I've read countless threads about it in multiple forums, but I just cant figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am now going bald.
Which ROM are you using and which ROM did you come from? GB or ICS?

I downgraded from ICS to GB using a guide on phandroid. I believe it may have something to do with the way I flashed it, or the network not recognizing me, but I am unsure. I'm open to suggestions!
If your downgrade method didn't involve flashing the GB radios than there would be your problem. It wouldn't hurt to flash the latest GB radios just for kicks.

Yea, I'm certain I flashed the GB radios in recovery, my good man. Could it be something else? Could you verify what I need to set my M.IP, and PPP settings to, if you know?
As long as you are on Verizon I don't see why you would have to.

Oops! Maybe I should've added... I flashed it to boost, and I have talk and text working. Data icon displays 1x. I'm trying to get the 3g to kick. I'm using the info from my Incredible 2, which i flashed with the same account over a year ago. Everything works fine on the Incredible 2. Just no 3g on the thunderbolt.
The droid incredible 2 is a global phone and the bolt isn't. The radio in the bolt isn't capable.

So disconnecktie, does this mean my thunderbolt is incapable of 3g because it isn't a global phone? I do not understand dude.
The bolt doesn't have an antenna that will be able to connect with the frequency boost uses for data.

Not even 1x? Because I totally have 1x. And it works. Just reaaaaaaly slow.

3g is a different frequency from 1x. Same for lte it's a different frequency too.

Oh I see. So what do you make of those people who claim to have it working, and posted screenshots of their bolt on 3g? Are they frauds? Because the only reason I even bought this phone, is that I was under the impression that a flash would work. Would really suck if it won't... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515994
It does work for certain carriers. Page plus comes to mind but it had been a long time since I've heard of another carriers working.

Cool! Well thanks anyway. I'm trying to find a way to program it to my service. Just to get the settings right, and see what happens after that. For all I know, I have the settings right, and it just won't work.
Best bet would be to pick up a sprint phone that's not locked down via ESN (correct term?). Since Boost is basically Sprint's pay as you go service.

I have tmo rooted stock rom 1.43 and have the worst range from Bluetooth...i see I'm not the only one, because there are many reports on tmo site...my questions are who here has this problem, what have you done to fix it, and does the custom roms have this problem?

There are quite a few threads on this site about it.
Mine is stock and I get up to about 20' and seems to start losing signal. I am fine with that though. Phone is always close by me anyway.....

OK, I'm not sure if anyone one else has or is experiencing a data connection problem with Verizon's 4g toggling off and on. I know I "was" and this is my theory and it has actually worked for me but first let me start from beginning. I got new tbolt because having this issue, I rooted and install ROM and everything seem as it was fine until I decided to connect to myverizon app and as soon as I did I started experiencing the toggling off and on again. So I decided to un-install myverizon app and reflash radio again and sure enough everything fine now. Well like I said just my theory but I think if u log in to myverizon app its causing this data problem. Inconclusion if you un-install myverizon app and reflash radio you shouldn't have any more data connection problems.

I constantly have to log in to My Verizon app. It's just part of how the ROM that im using works. I'm running Jellyblur 1.3 and have 4G data drops without even moving my phone on my desk at work. Considering I don't stay logged into My Verizon, I don't see how uninstalling it and reflashing my radio would make a difference. I love a good conspiracy theory though!

I'm saying don't use at all. Yes to update to see how much data u have used u have to constantly log in to update. What I'm saying is if u don't use at all don't even log in to myverizon. Give it a try... Delete myverizon don't re install flash radio again and tell me if your data connection is still dropping.

I did flash the .9 radio afterwards and noticed no drops now. I can't confirm the correlation between the drops and My Verizon. It could just strictly be that this radio version works better for me. Sorry, boss, but I like where your head's at!

For what it's worth, I never installed the My Verizon app on any of my ROMs and only had it while stock, which was a year ago. I still got major 4G connectivity issues a few months ago like so many others. Made the phone damn unusable at times.
Yeah I know it was a frustration for me. Have u tried new radios? .19 radios

I went radio happy a month ago and flashed them like they were ROMs. Tried probably 5 or 6 of them. I even tried different combinations of CDMA and LTE radios separately. No significant changes although the .9 or .19 radios seem to work equally well for me.

Download 4ext recovery and use the wipe all except sd card before flashing. Cwm is extremely outdated and people are having issues like that after using it.

Check your radio version. If you're not using the .19 radios give them a shot.

I have the same issue. lol

Maybe try to download the Rom again. Then reflash in 4ext.

At least I have unlimited data, lol. Still would be nice to have WiFi working because we only have a weak 3G signal at our home.
Did it work before you started using that Rom? My other suggestion would be to try a different ics Rom. Sorry I wasn't able to help but you're not the only with that problem. I'm surprised that no one else hasn't tried to help.

It worked fine before ics. I will look into trying a different build but I really like this one.

Yea it is a great build it sucks you're having WiFi problems. Have you tried changing channels on the phone side?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I had the same issue, I used the tweaked combo radio that used the .19 CDMA radio, with the leaked ICS LTE radio.
Well, I don't know how or why but it works now. I got mad and took the battery out and left it for a day. When I put it back in and turned it on it was working.

Question concerning this ROM as well. My signal bars either constantly indicate 2 bars for the 4 bar version, or full for the 6 bar signal version, and nothing else unless I am not on 4G. I saw someone posted this question somewhere else about a week ago or longer but I have been unable to locate it since I have been using the ROM. My data connection is usually fine so I wasn't sure if it'd be the radio I'm using or something with the ROM and if I may need to reflash.

Hi guys
I'm going to purchase HTC rezound, but seller told me that it's Verizon phone. So I've one question about this: Does This device need unlock code to work with other network operators, such as AT&T and so on?
thanx
It will work with other networks. You really don't need to unlock it. Just flash the global RUU and go into network settings and switch to GSM mode.

What he said is true, although the gsm radios as is for the rezound dont work with us domestic carriers for data connection other then edge. To get 3g or better you have to do some modifications to the radio.

It involves some windows programs like dfs and qpst. Don't have time to get into it but you can read about it here if you want. Its still a work in progress, but I've managed to get 3G and HSPA enabled using straight talk att sim with these modifications.

Can anyone tell me how to keep this phone connected to lte? We just got lte where I live and I use open signal app and it showed lte so I drove right up to the tower. Within 250 feet. My friend with HTC one was connected with no problems. But my phone wouldn't connect. He was getting download speeds of 13-18 mbps. I know I read something on here about an app that helps and also something about##72786# or something like that to change some settings. Thanks

It's a known problem for the elte's, some of them have problems acquiring and maintaining an lte signal, while others don't. Mine does the same thing sometimes.
I have read some people have problems getting an lte signal on some non sense based Roms, not saying that's the problem in this particular situation, but just an fyi sort of thing...
Also, are you s-off? If yes, have you updated to the latest radios? It seems to have helped my phone pick up lte a lil more often...
