I am in a heavy VZW 3G area and all day today I have only gotten 1X on my phone. A couple times I had 3G for a few seconds but then it would either go back to 1X or just show the signal bars with no notification of what network you are connected to (what the signal icon looks like when you are connected to wifi)
I did a full wipe and reinstall of my rom and even reinstalled the radio again in bootloader (the latest 7/8/11 OTA radio) and still only get 1X at best.........
I'm hoping its just the area here and not my phone...........???
Please use search.
Its probly fine. Can you go online and browse alright? If so, its fine. 1x is for voice, so its always going to be "on" persay...
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...
check your radio toggle settings ie - where
you toggle 3g/4g radio on/off.
- check and see if your radio is set to:
"CDMA auto (PRL)"
i had the exact same issue and come to find
out I had mine set to "CDMA only"
Also make sure your battery door is completely on
wow so......last night and today
I'm experiencing the same problem now too!
I no longer see 3g at all. just the bars
i have:
- flashed to different backup
- pulled battery & sim
- checked battery installed correctly
- checked radio was on cdma prl
and still nothing
dial ##778# from your phone... Go to edit mode, go to "Modem" and change modem from whatever it is one to "RevA" and then reboot. That should fix the issue.

yeah I tried that earlier and it did not fix my issue.
i ended up going in store and they changed my sim
card. Now I have my 3g connection back
for the meantime...
Hi
Since last update (9 dic) everytime I restart the phone I can see the 3G icon on the systembar but the 3G data connection is off on settings.
I have to set the 3g data connection on and then off to make the 3G icon disappear.
With the 3G setting off I reboot the phone and the 3g icon is back again ...
Any one is having the same problem ?
Thanks Iosu
How did you turn off 3G? Did you just turn off "Data Connection".
I am trying to figure how to do it on me AT&T HTC Titan.

yes I turn off data connection
I think your issue is different
Hello Iosub,
The 3g icon could be just indicating that you are using the 3g voice ( not the data). On my old Nokia's they would show the 3g icon even though I never used data.
Hello nemets,
Unfortunately not all the carriers allow the 3G connection setting in their Cellular setting. Though the option does exist as evidenced by the How-to Cellular settings page on the Microsoft website.

thanks for your answer.
i don't think that is the issue.
1. Because when i go to settings the data connection is off
2. Because if I turn on and the off the data connection the icon disappears
3. Because this was not happening with firmware 1.08 this is new with version 2.1
i think is a bug with the new firmware , lets see if someelse has the same problem..
Thank you
found a fix
I have found a fix.
I have turn on flight mode and reboot.
then I have turn off flight mode and reboot
I have reboot 5 times and no more 3g icon on startup. Only if I have the data connection on prior reboot witch is the correct behavior
hope is no back again
Iosu
I've noticed strange behavior with 3G (H) indicator.
Sometimes the icon appears even with Data Cellular off, I also see that restart behavior.
Will try the Air Plane mode trick and see if it solves this ODD thing.
What I don't understand is: why in the H**** this is done by firmware? Shouldn't this be controlled by the OS?
PS: when Cellular Data is OFF, even if the icon is in the screen, there is no connection working.

I was having the same issue.. After my trick it has been fixed.. try it
also. now my batery live is longer
Iosu
I also noticed this bug, once yesterday and twice again today.
However, I couldn't identify what triggers the issue, it seems to be happening out of the blue on my phone.
At first I thought I've fixed it by turning cellular data on/off but that proved to be only a temporary fix (as it occured again).
I also agree the issue has an impact over battery life. Usually my battery drains very slowly overnight (~2%) but last night it drained 10%. I examined the Battery Status graph and it clearly showed the battery drain going down abruptly around 5 o'clock.
I will try the airplane mode fix and report back.
UPDATE
I tried it but didn't work, maybe I didn't do it right:
- turn cellular data ON
- turn flight mode ON
- reboot
- turn flight mode OFF
- reboot
- turn cellular data OFF
After a few hours, the H icon appeared all of a sudden on the status bar...
the issue is back
Now the trick does not work :-(
Time to find a way to fix it
HTC response is to reset.. Why in the hell they always give the same answer ?
Iosu
Hello,
My Titan has this problem too.
I have made the "Airplane" solution but since yesterday the 3G icon appeared again.
Any solution for this or should I reset the phone?
Thanks

Another Trick
Hi
I have found another trick.
step to fix
1.- Set DataConnection ON
2.- Go to a place where you lost the antena coverage connection completly, example a garage
3.- Go to DataConection turn OFF
Now move to a place with Antenna coverage
you will see that there is no more 3g/h simbol.
Hope this helps
Hi to all,
Unfortunately I ve got the same annoying problem after the last update through Zune. Hope this trick works,but maybe a permanent solution is another HTC update to correct this bug...
The above trick worked for almost 24 hours,now the bug appeared again. Thanks for your help anyway. One question please : what if I hard reset the phone? That means no more updating through Zune? Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

You can Hard Reset your Titan the times you want You have always access to further updates, no problem with that.
The problem is that if the Hard Reset solves the problem...

Did anyone tried to make a Hard Reset to see if this problem disappears?

I guess that hard reset may be the solution since the bug came up after the last update.
I think I m gonna try it.

Report to HTC support, we all have to report if we want them to fix it

I have already report it to HTC Greece,they have not replied yet...I'll also report it to HTC international support. By the way, I have not mention any effect on battery life or any other function. It is just annoying...

Greetings to all.
I can't seem to find a fix to my problem. After my first flash on this phone (cm 10.1), I lost all mobile data. All i get is a blank triangle icon or sometimes a roaming icon. Wifi works fine but i can't go about my day if i don't have my data! I tried reflashing a few times and a few different roms/builds, and it still never connect. I've tried rebooting without the sim, and putting it back in etc, no luck
Does anyone have a fix or suggestions on how i can fix this?? i've been at it for a few hours already and i'm starting to stress out.

When mine is doing that I also change system select from Home only to Automatic. I let it sit for 5 minutes or so, then reboot. If it switches back I reselect, reboot. Try again. But most of the time once or twice is all it takes. It's a pain but normally will stick.
Also have you tried going into recovery and wiping the cache's? I think I've had to do that a couple of times. Honestly don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I figure it can't hurt.
Edit: Also you can try switching from NV to RUIM/SIM back and forth a couple times. As I said before just guessing but these are just a couple things I tried, and seemed to help.
Sometimes I'll flash a ROM no switching to NV on me, and other times it will, even with the same ROM. I think my phone has a mind of it's own.
There was a service code you can type in to change your network settings.
It was something like *#*#344XX#*#*
I cannot remeber exactly what it was but I need it also.
---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------
Go mine to get 3g working by flashing cm10.1.
Then going into settings mobile network.
Then setting network mode to LTE / CDMA.
Then setting CDMA sub to RUIM/SIM.
But after reboot it resets back to roming.
Also If i go to about I have no phone number.

Followed this guide and im now back working 100%.
I am new to root and ROMs so perhaps I overlooked a setting.
I just rooted my phone and flashed CM 10.2 a few days ago and I cannot get 4G anymore. I can only get 3G. I have tried a few fixes like dialing *#*#4636#*#* and adjusting the APN settings but nothing worked. I have the LTE button ON and I am wondering if I am still getting 4G because I have LTE on and it's just showing 3G. But I don't think that's the case.
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

reflash stock rom. make sure you have 4g. flash the vram3c radio then flash cm10.2 rom. you should have no problems with 4g after that.
I will try that. Thanks!

I tried flashing the radio and CM again and sometimes 4G comes up for a few minutes and goes back to 1X. This happens where I have gotten 4G before. Maybe the radio isn't as strong?

My personal experience, living in a fringe signal area, is that AOSP roms just don't have as strong a signal as TW roms (it presumably has to do with how the RIL had to be hacked/reverse-engineered to work for AOSP). I would prefer running AOSP, but unfortunately in my experience on my S3 and Note2, where I am located on the fringe of full 4G coverage areas, I have the same issues as you: on TW, full, fast, 4G; on AOSP, very obviously slow 3G or 1X.
Edit to say I've only tried 4.2.2 ROMs, haven't tried the 4.3 ones yet, so if I'm handing out wrong/outdated info, I'd love to be corrected.
I am now running a stock 4.1.2 ROM and still cannot get 4G. I now for some reason can't even dial *#*#4636#*#*. When I try it just says "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, this call cannot be completed as dialed." Anyway to get that number to work so I can check my networks again?

Try going into settings and factory reset phone now. If that doesnt work, reboot into stock recovery and factory reset from there and reboot. That seems to restore signal for those of us that got stuck in roaming mode from the Carbon thread. Might help your problem too
So I decided to re-flash CyanogenMod 10.1, adjusted the APN settings again, and I have 2 bars of 4G right now. Usually 4G will flash a couple times and change to 3G, but it is staying 4G, so hopefully it stays that way!
Well it stayed 4G for a bit until I turned WiFi on. The moment I turned it on, my 4G went to 3G. I turned WiFi off and I still have 3G. Anyone know what would cause this?
EDIT: My network type shows eHRPD with 3G, where as when I had 4G (before I turned my WiFi on) it showed LTE. If this helps any.

Where do you live, i know the mid Circle drive all the way over across platted to the airport are just dead zones. I lived on Verde drive and rarely had good signal, then when i moved up circle behind the bowling alley i never had a good signal. Just something about the antennae in that area. T-mo is a complete bust in that area. But i'm sure you probably all the way over on the Nevada side completely making what i said irrelevant.

Do a search on towers in your areas. If I remember correctly the closest tower to you in right by the interstate by the new (now not so new) MCD's in Security. That tower had alot of problems in the area past the Olympics complex all the way back to Peterson because of the radio towers for the Jets. I have been gone for almost 3 yrs so don't take what i say as truth tho. Just how it was when i was there.

I've had that problem before. .I used a mod like this.
This mod is from DroidXcon, Try this and hopefully it will work. (make a backup of your buld.prop first)
Instructions:
1)Go to market install BuildProp Editor
2)Once installed find and open Build Prop Editor
3)Hit the menu button and select Edit
4)Scroll to the bottom of screen and add the following lines
Code:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
5)Hit the save button at the top right hand corner of the screen(looks like a disk)
6)Once this is done saving restart the phone
7)After restarting go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>Menu Button>+ New APN
8)Add desired carriers APN info, when finished hit menu button and save
9)Power down and change to your desired SIM card if you hadn't already done so
10)Power back on and go to Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks> Access Point Names (if done properly you should see the APN data you entered for your respective carrier).
11)Select the respective APN listing and then you should have working data

I tried this but having the same problem, so I decided to save the APN each time I edited an item, and every time I would change the MNC and save, it would not be on my APN list, and it would be blank again.
Bump... also having this issue. Trying CM 10.2 for the first time since August. It had Bluetooth issues back then, so I've been running Bean's ROM until yesterday. Can't get 4G serivce in what is absolutely a saturated 4G area...
Was able to fix the issue by wiping the phone completely (including internal storage!), installing Bean's ROM, doing a factory reset, then coming back.
FWIW I always wipe internal storage when going back and forth between 4.1 and 4.2+ roms, seems to alleviate any SD card issues that can arise from the changes to filesystem in 4.2.
So, over the past couple of weeks, my phone just randomly loses the ability to use data. I use that term because, 4G is still on the phone, i'm not getting a no service signal, I just can't do anything that would use data. I'll be at work, using the Wi-Fi, then i'll leave and all of the sudden, nothing. It's like my phone just loses signal, but doesn't tell me it is. The little arrows under the 4G symbol don't do blink, nothing happens. I end up having to restart my phone. I haven't done anything different for this to happen. No updates, i'm not in abnormal areas when it happens(even if I was, it comes back after restart), nothing. Anyone have any insight on this?
I've had the same issue for about a month now. I am rooted and used this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i545oc1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3096558
if i reboot i get my signal back, or sometimes if i toggle airplane mode on/off it will come back. haven't been able to find any fixes on it yet though...
I have the same issue, I've found toggling airplane mode works 90% of the time.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
If u go to > Settings>Wi-Fi and tap the hardware menu button (bottom left most button), tap advanced...see if Smart Network Switch is "checked". If so, try toggling.
This is the worst bug yet!
I hope someone finds a fix to this soon. I am running 5.0.1 on a Verizon S4. All the techs at the Verizon store could tell me is that I need to upgrade to a new phone. After telling them I didn't want a new phone right now they gave me a new SIM card but that hasn't helped either. When I go into an area where I don't get service it seems like my phone just stops searching (perhaps to save battery?) Then it never seems to wake up and find service again even after I go back to a known 4G location. The toggle airplane mode on and off thing rarely ever works, so I don't think the radio is just "sleeping" to save battery. A complete restart is the only thing that helps.

I have this same issue (stanglite 5.01 ROM) and have tried a number of things to resolve it. I can post those steps if it is helpful to the discussion. In short, I've tried several modems and resets.
I should specify that mine is not identical to the OP as mine specifically shows that I have no signal. and it doesn't seem to be trying to find signal.

Not sure if it's just me or not, but ever since the update, my antenna seems weaker. I've never gotten much service at my house, but typically, I could go near a window, or outside and get service. Now, once it goes so long without service, the only way to get it back is to restart my phone. I've tested this even going into areas where I know there's good service. I've tried toggling airplane mode on and off, and even that doesn't get it to hook back up. It's incredibly annoying having a phone I pay this much for, and yet, can't use it without restarting every time I want to make a call or text.

One of the responses from this or another thread on this subject mentions to try changing "Preferred Network Mode" to LTE/CDMA. I did this and then rebooted (didn't work until after the reboot). It seems to have corrected my issue (I did also uninstall some apps I don't rely on but otherwise no other changes). Note that after another reboot the mode seems to have switched back to Global, but the issue has not returned.
Change "Preferred Network Mode" from Settings > More networks > Mobile Networks > Network mode.

There are tons of hits on this issue but no solutions...
It would be nice to find the actual problem instead of throwing a bunch of things at it to see what sticks.
