Okay so here's my deal. In my area I know that we have 4G, but my phone doesn't pick it up, its only on 3G. Sometimes if I play around with the hidden service menu I can pick up 4G but as soon as I send a text message, it switches to 1X until I reboot into CDMA+LTE/EVDo. Even when selecting that mode, I only pick up 3G even though I'm in a 4G area. Some background info: I'm on GB firmware and radios and running NeoMax 1.1 based on the latest leak. I'm also S-On. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Yeah, if you've tried everything else, you should run the RUU (your choice, but why not run the latest leak) and then do a factory reset from hboot...with the stock recovery. That has helped a lot of people.

Thanks for all the replies guys, but it's not a 4G outage issue with me. I have my dad's phone, which is a 4G vzw phone next to my phone, and his is on 4G while I'm on 3G. Should I try switching roms?

Alright well I'm trying to mess with the service menu again, rebooting it now and just cleared cache and dalvik. Gonna see if this does anything. If it doesn't, i'll factory reset in the morning.
turned out while changing radios to debug SMS delay I borked 4g. flashed stock recovery,cleared storage/factory reset,flashed amon ra,flashed random ics rom,xfer internal stuff I backed up,wiped everything,restored viperrez backup and all good with 4g working
I'm completely stock and this keeps happening to me randomly. Super frustrating when I know I normally have 4g and it happens (home, work, anywhere)
I went in and they put in a new SIM but it still happens.

I bought a DNA used off eBay. It came to me with the bootloader unlocked and s off. I toss my SIM card in and it connects to 3g fine, but 4g refuses to even try and come up. Troubleshooting steps taken below:
1. Switched from the sense 5 Rom that was installed to viper, no go
2. Flash the newest radio, no go
3. Try global mode, cdma/LTE mode, LTE only mode, no go
4. Flash a stock rooted Rom, no go
5. New SIM from Verizon store, no go
6. Swap Sims with a co workers DNA (which has 4g), his DNA gets 4g with my SIM but I don't get 4g with his.
7. Try to RUU, it keeps telling me installed software is 2.06, errors out with error 158, no go.
Any other ideas? I might just return it to the eBay seller.
Is there a limitation to using the RUU? Do you have to be on 1.15 everything to use it?

Not sure what that means. I'm coming from a droid 4 which was limited to pretty much just flashing roms, so this is my 1st real experience with flashing radios/kernels/hboots etc. He was previously using it on T-Mobile, but I don't see how that would effect anything. The seller agreed to take it back for a full refund, but I'm willing to try a few more things before I ship it back (unless it risks bricking)
EDIT: I'm retarded. You mean flash the boot image separately? Yeah I tried that with the DNA toolkit as well as manually. Fastboot crashes with the toolkit, and doing it manually with fastboot gives me errors. I think there is just something wrong with the phone. I've tinkered with a GNex before with fastboot and had no issues flashing anything.
Try an app from the playstore that turns off an on different parts of the radio. You can specifically choose just LTE. If it turn on its the software, if not, (obviously) it's the hardware

I had tried from the phone settings menu, whatever one the LTE On/Off app brings you to and no dice. It just sits at disconnected.
The settings are very limited. I had a similar problem, and I downloaded the lte on/off app by "tapbase" and I was able to discover that my lte radio works afterall. Try it, its free.

You need to use a brand new sim from a vzw store. Take it up to the store and you will be good. Fixed my friends at least. He tried my working SIM to and he only had 3g

I was having the same problem as the OP. I tried a new SIM too. I ended up having to lock the bootloader, return the phone completely to stock, and then accept the latest OTA update. After that, I was able to get 4G. Then I unlocked the phone again, put a TWRP recovery on, and then I flashed a Sense 5 M7 ROM. It kept 4G! This has been a real pain-in-the-butt process, but it worked.

Im going to explain this problem in a depth as i can.
I am s-off'd via jtagged, rooted and have twp recovery. I am on newest radio running NOS M7 v2.0.3
I can only connect to 3G for some reason with it reading eHRPD.
i do not know if it was reading this before i started the process of rooting since i never turn the phone completely on once i got it back.
So after some reading and advice i downloaded LTE on off to force 4G
It worked but at the cost of losing my mobile network causing me to not be able to make calls or send out text but i have 4G i can get on the internet.
Atm i am plagued with having 3G and service or using 4G w/o service... and this is a problem.
Also while on 4G it reads RSRP if that helps.
Idk if this is a hardware problem from me getting my device jtagged (which would suck since that means im stuck with it) or if it can be fixed.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated since im getting annoyed

Sigh thats something i wanna avoid so Ill just have to stay stuck until moonshine comes out. I really like sense 5 and I don't wanna go back to 4+... Then I'll get a replacement I guess.
As far as RUU to stock and seeing if I was on LTE I already did all that. I was almost looking into build.props but I assumed that wouldnt work either. So guess I'm just stuck on 3G unless it randomly wanna come back which I doubt unless somebody comes up with a solution besides just getting a replacement.

Correct they are free, but the guy I tend to see at the Verizon store always seems to launch that hboot screen everytime I go in there. He did when I had the SIM card swapped earlier in the year as it would disconnect from my network several times a day. So I just want to be on the safe side.
I had my SIM card replaced twice on my resound and both times went to the store without relocking the bootloader or anything. Didn't have any issues. They programmed the new card and I was on my merry way. Maybe call em first and without giving any of ur account information ask if u can get a new SIM card if uv rooted ur phone. It would suck to go thru that process if it's not necessary but I can certainly understand the better safe than sorry approach. The phone call would definitely be worth the time though imo.

I think it was resolved after I flashed my radio and then I went back to stock just in case I have any more issues in the next week. As if I do I will go back to the Verizon store and swap out my phone. But I'd rather be S-ON in case that happens and be that way for a bit. Plus I wanted to test the S-ON for future purposes of in case I needed to get back there I knew how to.

Also be sure you have LTE enabled in your network settings.
Were you ever able to regain LTE? This has happened to me as well. I've tried flashing back to stock, changing settings using *#*#4636#*#*, and a couple of others. Still nothing. Hate the idea of relying on 3G.

Try putting your Sim card in someone else's phone that has LTE. If they only get 3G, it's your card. Of they still get 4G, it's something else with your phone causing the problem.

Something similar is happening to me. I'm on Carbonrom 1.8. 4g just stopped working. Have been reading around trying to get fixes. Got a new SIM card from Verizon and it still didn't fix it.
In my phone status it says I'm on CDMA - eHRPD:14, I believe this indicates I truly am on 3g. If it were 13 it'd be 4g. I think I have that right. I haven't come across much that's helpful although it seems this isn't that rare of an issue. Trying to fix as much of it as I can on my own. I've yet to revert back to stock. Have tried going to Beanstown, that did more harm than good (broke sms and didn't go to 4g).

Beans ROM is basically stock if you went to that and still didn't have 4G then there is something wrong with your phone. Try the dialer fix (Dialing the number posted above) and if that doesn't work I would start thinking about a warranty replacement.

Most likely would have happened anyways. Rooting and ROMing don't touch the modems that control your cell signal.

Okay guys I have this problem with my Atrix 4G. It's usually on NottachTrix 2.0.0 or 1.9.0 since 2.3.0 was giving me weird errors. The problems I am having are that I have a strong signal of 4-5 bars and then either after an idle or just by watching it sometimes the signal degrades and eventually it's greyed out with a little x over it and it stays like that indefinitely. I've tried turning the wifi on and off, the GPS on and off, I've done a factory reset. I've repeatedly flashed the radios. 30, 36, 37, and the sbf of OLY_ATT_01.97.00R. I've done it with the sim in and out, with the sd in and out fixed permissions. " And I still have the issue of the signal either being completely off, or just degrading. I'm using this on T-Mobile but when I search for providers all it shows is AT&T and when I go to About Phone -> Status I consistently have between 90-120dBm under signal. What am I doing/not doing right?

i'm not knowledgeable about this issue, but based off of what you said, you're using ATT radios on a T Mobile network. perhaps a T Mobile radio would work? if i'm wrong with this statement, then i am and i'll admit it, but thats what i would try.

I always flash through CWM except for the 00R radio. And I just tried the other radios on the internet from the internationals to the UK to all US radios, still no luck at all. Is this a SIM issue or is my phone SOL?

i think i need to back track here and ask if you unlocked it so it is capable of running on different carriers. next would be did you set up the correct service settings like the vpn and stuff. and have you tried flashing, via fastboot or cwm, any t mobile radios?

Does this phone even have T-Mobile radios? I've flashed Via CWM, I am bootloader unlocked and SIM unlocked I have no clue what a VPN is but the APN comes with the phone I think.

lol apn is what i meant, not vpn, my bad. but yes, do you have the T Mobile apn info set up so it should work? and this phone was never made available for T Mobile, so it doesn't have any T Mobile radios. you would have to look for T Mobile radios to do what i was talking about trying out

What T-Mobile radios do I look for? Isn't each radio made specifically for each phone? And When I catch signal it does work.

ok its hardware issue. below is a paragraph about a different device that might point you in the right direction
"Did u follow the guide on XDA forums? They have the original guide for unlocking AWS bandwidth for ATT note 2 so that it could work on T-Mobile 4G.
If you flashed it correctly your phone should virtually pick up tmobile 4g any where you go.
Unless you live in a rural area that is."
it would be a hardware issue that should be able to be fixed using whatever was used in the case above. it may be about the note 2, but they did ask about other devices, so i would think it might work

From What I was reading, that method was for phones that have T-Mobile Variants that just have the 1700 Band blocked. Tmobile reps say it's probably a SIM issue which I'm hoping it is so I don't find out I have to buy a new atrix. But if its Software I'd love to be able to fix it now and get it over with.

I quite had somewhat similar problem but enabling 'use 2g only' I was able to avoid the loss of signal
