I clean flashed CloudyG3 1.2 this weekend. Didn't have any issues at all and I enjoy the ROM.
Came into work (about 15 minutes from my house that has 4G) and I get an error stating that roaming data is turned off and that I need to turn it on, but costly data rates may apply.
When I turn it on, it goes to 3G, with the "R" symbol, presumably for roaming.
In the past, I would typically swap back and forth from 3G to 4G, depending on where I'm at while working.
Is this a ROM issue? Modem issue? Is this just something to not even worry about? Is there a fix?
Thanks

Cloudy mentions this, he says it's really not roaming and roaming in US is free anyway

VS985 users should stop reporting the roaming issue, it's a known issue when using international base. And I dont know why its so much a trouble for u guys bc you just need to tick Data Roaming enable, it's not really roaming. Btw VZW does give you free roaming in US anyway. Changing the build.prop just causing more issue.
If you guys cant live with that, so please ignore this ROM.

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.

No I don't get 4g in my area. How do I lock 3g? I have it set on cdma / edvo auto.

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).

Can't check this myself yet, because verizon customer service isn't open as of now.
Interesting. I'll give Verizon a call. Thanks.
I just got off the phone with a Verizon rep and they confirmed that there are no network outages in LA. So I guess there's something wrong with my phone. I'm currently running the debloated OTA rom with the radio that comes with it. I can intermittently connect to 4G, but only the upstream seems to work. It randomly cuts out, bumping my internet off or dropping me to 3G and 1X. Does anyone have any insight into this?

Well I think you were lied to,they have been messing with the network in several market over the last few days,if flashing different radios doesnt fix your problem it has to be the network, in sioux city iowa the same thing had been going on ask day, they are getting ready to switch the 4g on, it happened in three twin cities yesterday when they expanded the coverage, can't always believe what the reps tell you
Sent to you via my handheld cellular communications device
The rep seemed like an honest dude, but I guess there could be sneaky network changes and upgrades. It might also be hardware damage. Does anyone about the 4G antennas on the back cover of the Thunderbolt? Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? A ticket has been opened for some techs to check out the network in my area. I'll keep you all updated.
You're sure your network mode is on CMDA / EvDo + LTE?
Positive. I can't think of anything else except network issues or hardware damage. :\
I am still in sioux city and the network is flippin out,give it a day befor you go buying hardware

Good call on that one. 4G is up and running when I leave the apartment. The strange thing is I have basically full 4G reception outside of the apartment, but inside: no 4G, but full 3G. Such is life, I guess.
I've been having this problem probably once a day since I've gotten the phone where my phone will lose data signal while switching between 3G and LTE and the only way to get data back is to restart the phone. Turning airplane mode on and off won't work either.
Ive had that issue too..but most of the time it switches back n forth no problem

I haven't noticed any data problems until today. I am unable to connect to 3G. We do not have 4G in my area.
These problems are probably bugs in the LTE System.

why should bugs in the LTE system affect 3G?
the 3G our phones use is not exactly the same as standard 3G unless you force your phone into EVDO 3G via the ##778 menu. which if you are not in a 4g zone I would recommend simply for stability. The 3G our phones use is basically a layer between 3G and LTE as I've had it explained to me.. I really don't know much else about it though, sorry. I'm sure someone else here can shine more light on it however.

oh that's really interesting. thanks for that little bit of info. had no idea.
Same problem with it dropping data signal and never coming back without restart. At least now i know its not a hardware issue
I've had the same problem lately
~John
damn.. i was actually hoping this was a small problem with a simple solution... everything else about the phone is perfect except for this one problem.
Having the same issue here....when switching to cdma I get no 3G just 1X.....hope they find a fix soon
Sent from my HTC Rezound
same here guys. call Verizon and let them know. I think it helps if a bunch of us make them aware.
I've had a ton of weird data issues with the Rezound. I get 1x where i should get 3g, i get 3g where i should get 4g and i get nothing way too often.
I've only had this happen once with the rezound. Shows nothing but bars, no data can be used. Sometimes switching to 3g or 4g in lte on/off helps.
Had this problem intermittently on both my wife's and my bolts, completely agree its just a lte being a new tech issue.
I've listened to a podcast on how the handoff works and its definitely not fool proof.

phone will reboot and you should get 3G back
This changes your network from eHRPD back to EVDO Rev.A. For LTE phone owners, eHRPD causes 3G to die (most of the time anyway) when the LTE network has problems. Get back on normal EVDO and you're good to go.
^ from Jntdroid on another forum (not sure if we're allowed to post to other forums here) I'm not positive on where he got it from, but this is a capability of all HTC 4G phones
I've had occasional issues with being down to 1X, but even that was only during nationwide 4G network issues, definitely get in touch with VZW about that... not that they have enough sense to fix anything *sigh*
Data Connection slow to Acquire (3G/LTE)
If I'm on the subway, or somewhere with no service, then come above ground, I get voice (full bars) but no data -- it could take upwards of 3 minutes+ for data to come back up. Any thoughts?
I've been losing my 3G service throughout my city, being restricted to 1x so many times lately where I SHOULD be getting 3G!(4G isnt available in my area yet). It's really annoying...perhaps nexus isnt theeee only one...
^should I try calling and programing what the user implied? Again, I am not in a 4G area...

Same issue as you. I live in a 3G area only and my 3G drops out a lot. Even a reboot doesn't get it back. Not sure what to do :/
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.

I'm sorry, but the name Cricket alone sounds solo, not sure how their network runs, but is this all you have? You can try calling Cricket, to manually activate your phone, changing our entering the codes manually...good luck, love to hear outcome..

Also, I have experienced the same issue on Verizon, mostly when connected to a Network Extender. Toggling my wifi on and back off (with a connection having been established) usually does the trick to force it back into 3G.

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.
Weird problem with my note. It will randomly start roaming and lose data connection. This is extremely often, like every few minutes when I'm using data. I have Padawan 6 and the T989UVLC8 radio. Data roaming is turned off. Am I doing something wrong or need to find a different combination, anyone else having a roaming problem on T-Mobile? Thanks.
Well fixed my own problem. Flashed the SGH-I717-UCLF6BS ROM along with the Official TMo ICS RADIO_NOTE baseband and it's all running like butter. Solid 4G, doesn't roam and data picks up quick from idle. Will report if anything weird happens.
