What do you have set up under Settings, More... Mobile Networks, Preferred Network Type? Should be LTE.

I set it to LTE/CDMA/EVDO. but still the same no working 3g or late. And idk if this has anything to do with it but when I got the phone they told me that the radio was flashed to work better on at&t so idk if that affects my Verizon network

Not sure what they meant by that, there's no AT&T specific radio. You may want to wipe the phone clean and start over on it.

I had an issue a year or two back and it turned out to be the battery door that went south. replaced the door and was back in business. may or may not be your problem but just an idea.

Ever since Verizon network went down a few days ago I can't get a solid connection whenever I download anything. Browser seems to load fine. I try downloading several apps from the market but cannot complete the download due to lost connectioime. It will just stop at any time during The download. Same with files. I dont think is the rom. I'm on cm7 pre-release. Flash back to Tesla but still have the issue. Is anyone else have this issue?
Are you close to a 4G area? Try locking your radio to 3G and see if it improves.

You go into the phone dialer and input *#*#4636#*#*, choose phone information. LTE mode for only 4G, CDMA auto (PRL) for only 3G. You can change it back to normal by using CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto.
I've been having the same exact problem.

Just installed the latest radio and is still having the same issue. I hope is the network then since you're having the same problem too.
I have das bamf remix 1.5 on my phone and I've been having very slow downloads lately when it says I have a full signal.... Tried both modes as mentioned above and problem persists. Can't even load a whole you tube vid. WTF
New radio problems
I had similair issues, and I went back to stock 605.6 radio and a simple debloat rom and it fixed my issues, I am also set to CDMA(PRL) as I'm in a 3G only area
on the new radio my 3G connection was unstable and my GPS wouldn't lock
all of this only occurred after the verizon network went down and came back up.
before that I was having my problem with the new radio. I'm waiting on 605.6 until Verizon officially updates the radio, because I think they changed something that is currently only working with the old radio, the only one they have to support at this time, just my conjecture of course, but I've tried it a few times going between an old radio/old rom and new radio/new rom and it's consistant
Having the same issues. Tried all the radios, but downloading from the market place still goes at a snails place. Like everyone else this started after the lte network went down and came back up.

Alright, I just got off the phone with them and they fixed my problem in less then 5 minutes. The problem was caused when the network went down, and when it came back up, some of the thunderbolts would not connect correctly causing the connection issues. When I called customer service the woman brought a tech guy on the phone and he had me take the battery out of the phone WHILE IT WAS POWERED UP and then take the SIM card out and he did some kind of "network reset" to my SIM card and now all the issues are gone. Worth giving them a call and seeing if this fixes your problem. IMO VZW has the best customer service hands down, they are always so helpful and will make conversation with you during the luls while on the phone (IE when your phone is booting up).

I switched from Verizon to Cricket, had my DX2 flashed at a shop and switched over Cricket. Everything works, but I rarely get 3G data. Usually it pops up for a minute or two, then disappears for a few hours again leaving me with only 1X.
Does anybody know the way to update Crickets PRL info? Or is there anything else I can do to get 3G connection more reliably? I know it isn't a signal issue, as it just simply doesn't work well anywhere whereas others using Cricket have 3G and good signal.

Cricket is a pay-as-you-go service in the Phoenix area and probably SW USA in general. It runs on Verizon's CDMA network, just typically given lower priority. However, I am basically unable to get 3G connectivity period. The phone has been flashed from Verizon to Cricket and activated and everything seems to work with exception of reliable 3G.
Hey folks, any ideas why my APN will auto-switch to non LTE - Verizon Internet every fourth or fifth time I unlock the screen? It's been doing this for about two weeks since I flashed CM10.1 and Devil Kernel. I've since tried going back to TW as well as wiping everything on the phone including system prior to flashing different ROMs. Right now I'm running CM10.1 08-13 nightly with Plasma 1.67 kernel and it's doing the same thing.
At first I thought it could be signal strength causing it to not connect to LTE, but it's completely switching APN to non-LTE. At wit's end right now because no combination of stock TW or CM10.1 will let it stick.
Guess I should ask my question:
Is there a way to make the APN stick to LTE - Verizon Internet instead of letting it arbitrarily switch to EHRPD - Verizon Internet, which drops my LTE connection? Anyone have any ideas as to why it's switching on its own in the first place? When I'm on the EHRPD - Verizon Internet the phone doesn't seem to ever switch back to LTE, even though what I read on the 'net says it should be switching back and forth depending on signal. I have to go into the *#*#4636#*#* menu and switch it back to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) as it has switched to CDMA auto (PRL) when on EHRPD - Verizon Internet.

I am having the same issue, but if I force it into LTE through the test menu I can get data at 4g speed. But it shows no signal.
I thnk it is suppose to be on the VZWINTERNET. I just had this issue with carbon, and I figured out the network options I were using was wrong. I kept choosing LTE/CDMA, but it should've been LTE/CDMA/EvoD and once I did that i got snapepd back into 4g.

On the advanced data menu that is what mine is showing, when ever I select the LTE apn it bounces back to a 3g one.

When you flashed the ROM originally and started having this problem were you asked to activate your phone. I am having the same issue after flashing a 4.3 ecliptic one ROM on my HTC One. I was running the same ROM but 4.2.2 before flashing. The first thing I was required to do was *228 for activation. I used option 2 to update the roaming capabilities and after that I could no longer stay on LTE. I was pushed over to ehrpd. Even when I tried LTE only using the method listed above I could not get a connection to the internet (even though it showed APN= LTE).
I will probably just go to VZW and get another SIM card for LTE.
Any thoughts would appreciated.

You will need a new sim. You don't have to activate and especially not update via *228 with a 4G sim card.

First time posting on here so please don't tear me a new ass if I'm doing something wrong lol.
I just got a Galaxy Note I (SGH-I717) on AT&T.
Initially I was having problems with reception and 4G and not getting LTE at all. I finally got LTE working my setting up the PTA APN and by dialing *#2263# and selecting a different preferred band (I chose "LTE ALL" in the LTE sub-menu and saved it). I put the SIM back in, powered the phone back up and LTE was working. However my signal bars haven't gone past one bar while on LTE. I get data, and can even send and receive MMS/SMS, but cannot send/receive calls.
Someone please tell me if I did something wrong or am leaving out any vital info.

Perhaps the radio should be updated. The latest official ATT radio is UCMD3.
Check if you have it under settings/about/phone status/baseband. It works on all builds but is the newest radio which improves signal sometimes.

I'm pretty positive that my APN settings are correct (I'll post them in a minute), I think it is probably the band preference I selected in the *#2263# menu. I do know for a fact that the SGH-I717 runs on the lowest LTE band.

Those appear to be as follows in the link I posted. The only difference i saw was BEARER: LTE (default is unspecified) play with this one.. that was different in the post.
Other then that, I know ATT and Tmobile only use LTE Band 4 in the USA anyways.
So LTE ALL under the service menu wouldnt help. Was your coverage always that bad?
Please someone with ATT help this poor soul out. I'm at wits end. Usually this would be something to bug your service provider about. Myabe they can refresh something on your account, or give you a newer SIM card at your local store.

Yes, unfortunately service has always been this bad. I have called AT&T several times/been to the AT&T store and talked to a representative and they have done the following:
- Checked/rechecked my IMEI number (it always matches)
- Checked and rechecked my SIM number (before AND after I received a new SIM card
- Unregistered/Re-registered my phone with the towers
- Called a tech out to the tower to make sure nothing is going on the them (I know its not, my buddies all have LTE running fine on their devices)
Thank you so much, scariola. You've been a helped all you can.
RESOLVED
I believe I have fixed the problem.
I dialed *#2263# to get to the Band Selection screen. I already had selected "LTE ALL" under the LTE Preference menu. I unselected it, chose Back and then End (both under the softkey menu). I then re-dialed *#2263# to get back into the Band Selection menu except this time I selected "Automatic" and chose End in the softkey menu. Re-inserted SIM, and rebooted.
No I get signal 3-5 bars, 4G and 4G LTE where strong signal is available.
I thought LTE was only data and could not be used for calls.

Right. The data is the 3g/4g connection and the symbol next to the bars is the data speed. The bars is the strength of the gsm/phone signal.
It actually sounds like the OP was involved in a tower maintenance scenario and probably didn't matter what he did.
You can do the same settings changing from the mobile data settings menu.
You can't do the same settings from the mobile data settings menu. There you can only mess with data bands. You can turn LTE off or on on my Canadian ROM but you can't use it as the only band. And I didn't think you could even change this on ATT ROMs/radios at all. I believe he used LTE as the one and only bands for phone and data which caused his issue. I have achieved this same result by messing with those band setting found by *#2263#.
However the ability to send/receive texts but no calls does not make sense. That could have been tower issues since they both use the same phone band.

Er, what?
Is that a JB thing because I know it wasn't present on the ATT ICS ROM. Also where is the LTE setting??
The default is "fastest available". If you choose the high speed setting, it will connect to whatever is best.
I assumed JB stock because the OP said he just got the phone.

It's on the canadian version of JB in the settings/mobile network. Missing from att JB though.
You can however force LTE only through the service menu. Att and tmobile use band 4. Not sure about anyone else.
You must dial *#2263# into dialer and select LTE and choose the band your provider supports. That will force LTE only. Dial the same thing into dialer and select automatic* to go back to jumping through LTE/WCDMA/GSM.
I understand it is on the Canadian version as I am using it. The Canadian version also includes LTE. I know how this all works. I have a Rogers note. But my question was to ranger on where he pulled that screenshot from. I always had an LTE option both on ICS and JB. And it was my understanding that ATT left this feature out on all versions and their modem was locked.

You can't force LTE if its not available. Its best to leave it at auto and let the modem do Its job of connecting to the best signal.

It may have been, but soon after I *thought* I had fixed the problem, the same issue restarted. I believe it was an issue with the phone hardware itself, maybe the antenna. I don't know. I sold the phone and got an S3.
No problems with the S3 :good:
I used to have that problem until i changed the MNC to 260

This isn't in the right section, but the first things to check would be if the data connection settings are correct. I don't have an Evo in front of me, but check in Settings / More... and there should be some stuff there to make sure that CDMA/LTE is enabled or if you just want 3g, do CDMA/EVDO (I'd switch between the 2 to see if it makes any difference). Seems like this is not a totally uncommon issue with these phones. Some people just had issues with the towers updating (even though your other phones work ok, every phone is different and use different radios so not exactly apples to apples), sometimes it was just needing reset (either via factory data or ##72786# which will reset network stuff and redo the Hands Free Activation and update the PRL). That's usually the other thing to check : Make sure the Profile and PRL updates are done. Unfortunately, some users report doing all of that and still never resolving. Good luck!

In the dialer, press *#*#4636#*#*, and choose Phone information, and choose any network type you want, turn the radio off and on again. This may help. Good luck. :victory:
