Been having problems not being able to connect to 4G even when in a rock solid 4G area. The best I can get is "solid" 3G. Running the latest SkyDragon ROM along with the latest modem. Could I have accidentally changed something? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I had an issue similar to this once, and the only way I was totally able to fix things was tot'ing back to 10B...however, that was what I did as a last resort. I tried flashing updated modems, other roms, swapping sum cards even lol and finally did that and it fixed things. So obviously that's just a last resort.
Edit: One other thing I'll add is that after restart I would easily get 4g, it would always just drop to 3g after ~30 seconds and never recover. Those were the symptoms I was seeing.

I hope someone can help me. I rooted my phone, flashed to the latest energy blue rom, it worked awesome. 3 days later out of no where, I lost my 4g. Its like my mobile network doesnt fully turn on. Wifi works fine though.
Has anyone run into this before? Anyone know a solution? I also tried to flash it to a different rom. Same problem!
HELP!

I think our radios (for the amaze) went down on T-Mobile cuz my gf on the mt4g still has 4g but mine went out an hour or so ago. And some people on Eclipze's ROM last data, too. Freaking T-Mobile...

It's a T-Mobile issue, nexus, gs2 and gs3 users are complaining of the same issue.
FYI guys. Data is down nationwide. This ROM is perfectly fine. Customer Care is flooded with calls. Connect to WiFi, you'll be OK for the time being. Do not stress that your phone is broken. Tmobile is broken.
A word from your friendly Tmobile Rep.

ah that explains it. Just bad timing for me I guess. Phone is all good now
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 live in a 3g only area, and today my phone has started showing 4g sporadically.
When the phone shows 4g my data stops working and then all data cuts out and 3g comes back.
I'm running viper Rom with snuzzo kernel. Could this be a software issue? The Verizon website does not have my city listed for current or upcoming 4g availability.

if you know you are in a city with no 4g and dont plan on getting it soon, why not change it to CDMA only? The phone might think its getting a signal from a 4g tower and its causing it to switch like that

This has never happened before today, so I was hoping it was me getting 4g in my area.....
I tried the cdma only setting, and my data as a whole is spotty now. My wife's thunderbolt is doing the same thing now.
Is this what its like when they flip the 4g switch? Does anybody else remember when 4g came on in there area?

they might be testing the 4g radio in your area and it that might be causing it. give it a couple of days, if it doesnt fix you might want to as a vzw rep. for me it was back when tbolt launched when we got 4g
What ROM are you using? I know that on some ROMS, like cyanogenmod, it's actually best to keep phone on the setting that supports multiple data modes.
I live in a town of 15k and we just got 4G, so u may get it after all...

After flashing Cyanogenmod 10.1 I have only been able to connect to 3G and cannot connect to 4G LTE. Does anyone know how to get LTE to work on Cm10.1?
Try doing a full wipe. Data/cache/dalvik, reflash CM.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
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.

This happened to me. I ended up getting a new sim card and that fixed the problem.
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.

Got my new LTE 4g card today and everything is good for me....Sounds like something is breaking the cards.
I'm now getting an error maybe once a day that my Sim card was removed, reboot. Starting to think maybe there is something causing problems.

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.

I wonder if this is something that happened because of the ROM/Root or if it would have happened anyway.

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

Having the same issue, mine came after i *228 my phone. It went through updating roaming and since then its stuck on 3g. Downloaded the Odin file going to try in the morning.
Ps. Attempted to insert my wife's sim into the phone to see if my sim was just bad but even with hers I was only getting 3g. Tried to flash the latest radio in twrp but didn't fix it either

Just rooted my Razr Maxx (had a rooted Droid X). Flashed CM 10.1, while on CM NO 4g, go back to stock ROM and DO have 4g. I've switched back and forth several times and remains the same.
Sounds like a CM problem, but hey, I'm no expert, pretty noob.

NEVER *228 a 4g Verizon phone. It will and most likely burned up your sim card. *228 is not compatible with 4g devices.

I was running supernexus for a long time, but last night some drunk girl got her hands on my phone and afterwards, it would only get 1x or Wi-Fi, but no 3g/LTE. I recovered to an old Sense based rom I had and the 3g worked fine, so I downloaded the PAC-man rom and now I only get 1x. Any ideas on how to fix this? I would really prefer not to go back to a sense based rom

It's set to LTE/CDMA/EvDo
I realized that even when I go to sense, I don't really have 3g. It just says I do for some reason. But I get absolutely no data down. I think the internals may just be messed up. Guess I'll take it to a sprint store and see if they can fix it
