My service provider is Cellular South, not Sprint. I have been running CyanogenMod 6 for around a year with no issues as far as function is concerned, but recently tried a new ROM mostly for speed and a few bells and whistles. It worked great but I had issues with receiving text messages (not sending) so for the time being I reverted back to my CyanogenMod nandroid backup.
I would still like to try a newer ROM but was wondering if there are any issues or special steps I should expect to run into because I'm with Cellular South and most of these ROMs are based on Sprint.
I have no idea whether or not this had anything to do with my texting issue but I just wanted to ask before diving into anther ROM.
Thanks!
Hello All,
Something changed in my phone and not really sure as to what has happened. All of a sudden my phone loses data connectivity and thinks that it is roaming. If I enable airplane mode and disable it, then the phone works for about 10-15 minutes and then loses connectivity again. Running the 12B baseband (been using it for months with no issue) and haven't changed the ROM in quite some time. This started happening on yesterday.
Any suggestions?

Damnit. I am having the EXACT same problem, running CM11.
How did you come to that conclusion? I am thinking I'm going to have to restore to stock if I'm going to get Verizon to do anything about it.

I reverted all the way back to 11A stock unrooted. The phone was in 4G for about 5 minutes (if that) and then remained in 3G mode.

I'm at the same point. Going to do an Asurion claim since I didn't buy my phone from VZW (Swappa).
I had this problem before when I tried other roms like cm rom and omni rom. I tried to do *228 to fix problem, but made it made it worse. I restored it back to stock and took it to the Verizon store. They put a new sim card in it for free and it fixed the problem. Now i am running stock with simple kernel.
Same exact problem here. I was on the phone with Verizon last night. I was running cloudy pro 2 (all his roms for that matter as they are international roms) and kept getting the roaming issue you speak of...with 3g. I went back to 11A completely bone stock. Just like you mentioned, I get 4g but then after like 10 minutes I get 3g with roaming. Of course this is after I spent 30 minutes on the phone with tech support. They 'zapped' my sim card and it appeared to work but no dice. Now before doing all this I downloaded build prop editor and changed the ro.build.target_country to US versus COM as everyone suggested in all the forums, still no dice. I've tried the toggle airplane mode trick...works for like 5 minutes and back to 3g roaming. I think maybe a new sim card and avoid international roms...bummer because cloudys roms are blistering fast. Interesting thing though, I installed xdabebbs rom and malladus' rom, after already running cloudys roms, and get 3g but no roaming. I also verified that Verizon wasn't throttling me or something like that. One more thing I tried is reflashing the basebands and 24A modem, no dice. If there is a build prop fix or some other fix I'd love to hear it.
Edit: One think I'd like to mention. When I had an S4 I switched between stock roms and AOSP roms and the network settings were responsible for causing the roaming because the stock rom was an older build than the AOSP. So when I had roaming, I'd reflashed the AOSP rom, changed the settings then flash the stock rom. It worked great.
Edit#2: Ok making a little progress. Just did this:
Get a build.prop editor from the play store, and change ro.carrier to VZW and ro.build.target_operator to VZW and ro.build.target_country to US.
Initially it worked but when I make calls it gives me Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped and I cant make calls. I went into Settings, Apps, reset app preferences...that didn't fix it either.
4G/LTE is pretty solid now but again, I cant make calls.
Edit#3: Nevermind...roaming again.
Alright, I'd be lying if this makes any sense to me, but the issue appears to be related strictly to the SIM card.
I had them swap the SIM, it fixed the issue, then it came back. I'm on a new phone now, and it appears to be working. The old SIM did not work on either phone, but the new one does. What makes no sense is the old SIM would work fine in my Galaxy Nexus, but would not work in the G2. Now the new SIM is working perfectly in the new G2 (haven't tried the old one).
I'm baffled.
I've never seen anything make so little sense. The guy at the store told me I would need to replace the SIM again in a few days. Whatever, if it happens again, I'll do just that.
I did the same with my gs3. What ROM are you running?

The original phone was running CM 11 Nightlies.
I'm currently on stock - not sure if I'm going to stay with CM because the official thread indicates official development is DitW for the G2 .
That's actually strange... I'd expect roaming issues with an Intl ROM but not cm.

Hey everyone,
I have an odd issue. I tried searching the forums, but I couldn't find anything like this. So basically, after I restart my phone or if I put it on Airplane mode for a bit my phone will connect to LTE fine. However, after 5-10 mins or so it will switch to 3G and stay there. It will also switch to 3G after I disconnect from a WIFI network.
When I'm connected to LTE it works just fine. I live in the Dallas, TX area and LTE coverage is pretty good where I live/frequent. Any thoughts?
Oh, I am running Liquid Smooth 6/19 build with the Furnace Kernel. I was experiencing this with other ROMs too.
Thanks.

I'm in Plano, just got this phone about a week and a half ago. Dying to get AOSP on it, but anyway, my LTE coverage is great and it rarely drops, but when it does drop to 3G it does not seem to want to switch back. It doesn't happen often, but I just toggle airplane mode and it reconnects to LTE immediately.

Known issue among Sprint Techs just noy really put out there. Newest update has improved it for some but on some people the solution is as you describe; toggle airplane mode on then off

Actually the update is supposed to make it worse for a reason, a lot of people were having issues with no data at all in areas whee spark want up ask the way yet. So the new update should make your phone sick in whatever band it's on for longer

Good to know I am not alone.
I just s-off'd and flashed Captains latest firmware. Problem still seems to persist. I am going to switch to a Sense based ROM and see what happens.
I do remember reading somewhere that Sprint is intentionally sending people to 3G where their Spark network isn't complete so as to avoid a poor Spark user experience. I can't remember the source though, somewhere out on Google...
In our area it cleared up issues for people with no commection; theyve had better experience with lte now.

I flashed Viper and haven't dropped to 3G once today. Hmmm. Going to do a clean flash of an AOSP rom tomorrow to see if the issue returns.
Ok, I have flashed (super wipe each time) Dirty Unicorns, Liquid Smooth, CandyKat, Pac-Man, C-Rom, and the latest CM 11 nightly. Every ROM had this problem with the exception of the CM11 nightly. I did not install any gaps, I just installed the rom and let it sit there...
I noticed that right before I would drop to 3G (on all ROMs except CM11) i would get a message stating that my SIM card had locked and that I needed to reboot. Then, about 30 seconds after that I would drop to 3G. If I changed my mobile network from LTE to Global it seemed to delay the SIM lock message for about 30 minutes.
After toggling Airplane mode I would connect to LTE again....and that is where I am at right now....about 10 minutes into that and still connected to LTE.
Edit: Just dropped to 3G after 15mins, bah!

It makes sense when you consider the fact that the SIM card in our phones is a requirement of 4g/LTE/Spark. Having the SIM lock on us renders it useless and you would then be kicked down to 3G since you can no longer meet the requirements for the faster connections....
I got so annoyed with this bug that I've switched to a sense-based ROM (ARHD) indefinitely even though i love AOSP and used to flash Carbon, Liquidsmooth, and Pacman roms almost every day and usually a couple times per day if they all got updated that day. I can't stand the stupid simcard lock bug they're having right now though...interesting that CM 11 nightly is no longer having this issue you say? When I was last troubleshooting this with roms I was getting it on the CM 11 nightly as well...but it has been a while...Hopefully if the latest CM 11 nightlies have fixed this issue the other guys will catch up soon.

Gummy Rom seems to work too. I was on it for about 2 days and I was on LTE almost the entire time. It did drop to 3G, but it went back to LTE shortly after without me having to toggle airplane mode.
i m having problem with network sir

PLEASE HELP ME OUT
IF RUU NEEDED THEN HOW TO DO
N IF FIRMWARE NEEDED THEN WHIH ONE
PLZ SEND ME LINKS M HELPLESS
I've tried PacMan and AICP. I didn't look at the stock ROM long enough to see if that was working when I got the phone, nor did I make a backup of that.
Now there was one point where it was working when I was on PacMan and then it stopped working again! The problem is I have no idea what I did to make that happen. I've checked all the APN settings and they look good. I've tried the MetroPCS/LTE/LTE IPv6 and even the T-Mobile ones just to cover all the bases (since Metro and Tmo merged they're basically one company but run separately still.)
I was just wondering if anyone has run into any similar issues and if so what you did to fix it.
EDIT: Data works if I turn off LTE? What the hell am I doing wrong then?
Bumping this for visibility.
No LTE
I have the same issue XT1053 on CM 12.1 with no LTE but if I turn it off, I then have H+ 3g. I am also with metro and have even tried it with tmobile apn with no luck. Same Metro APN Settings work on stock.
Found a Fix
So last night i fix it on CM 12.1 buy removing all other APN settings that didn't belong to my network in my case just Metro PCS. After doing so my LTE signal shows and I am getting perfect signal.
Very interesting. I just got a 1+1 and am having the exact same issue on stock CM-OS. I think when I cut the micro sim to nano to fit it may have damaged it enough to where the LTE didn't work. However it doesn't explain why it worked for that short time (unless it just glitched to a working state).
I'll try your method, and then I'll try getting a new SIM and letting Metro mess with it.
My old phone is also better than my father's so he's getting an upgrade today. If he runs into the same issues which is HIGHLY unlikely I don't know what I'll do but I'll certainly update the thread.
I did as al970h mentioned and sure as **** it's WORKING!
I've gone through two phones and quite a few ROMs over this. Now using OmniROM for 1+1.
Just wanted to update, Looks like I don't have to go to Metro today so that's one less thing to do.
I want this to be a thread for us Verizon people using custom Roms. As of right now there are several Roms that have partial support. There is one ROM I know of that has full support. Havoc os. Sky dragon, liquid remix l, Luis ROM collection has partial support. Some Roms have no support.
Some Roms don't have the ability to send/receive mms ( pictures and group texts). Some Roms can't even receive texts or calls.
If I'm not mistaken, the list is as follows:
OmniROM
Treskmod
HavocOS
AOSiP
I don't believe any of the 10/Q ROMs will work until the necessary blobs are pulled from the official OOS 10 release. Therefore, the above only applies to 9/Pie versions. I have not tested the 10 OOS port, so I can't confirm anything there.
For the ROMs with partial support (calling and texting), some users have found success with MMS by using certain messaging apps, such as QKSMS.

I didn't know aosip worked, I haven't tried Omni since I had to make a call to tier 2 support. So that call could have fixed it for me. I haven't heard of treskmod. Havoc isn't bad.
Bootleggers works great, although I did need to switch to qsms for mms to work.
I think the issue is most time picture messages are extremely low quality when received, and video messages as well if they come in at all. I'm on an old Omni build and that's how it is for me.
I'm on pie with latest Omni and QKSMS. Running smoothly on verizon. I can make /receive calls, send /receive SMS/MMS and group texts work.
Funny as **** lol. ALL pie ROMs support Verizon. Its the APNs in network settings that control MMS,sms, etc. All ROMs use your current radio/modem to access your sim and apn to access the network. If you have signal, its not the rom. To make sure your apn info is correct, google the info or call your carrier

Yes and I've read comments in various threads where people would say they had tons of difficulties getting SMS and especially MMS to work properly even on stock OOS. Many recommendations suggested you must call verizon tech support and request a tier 2 specialist.
But I also noticed a couple of posts where people said they just simply inserted their sim and everything worked. I also read one comment where the guy said just go into your verizon account settings and choose CDMAless.
My experience? I decided I definitely wanted to iron out all the kinks before flashing a rom so I inserted my sim, did the initial setup and noticed MMS not working so I logged in to my verizon account and went through settings but there was no CDMAless option. Then I called verizon tech support and requested a,tier 2. Originally it was a,tier 1 who fielded my call and when I asked him he said : "I'm basically a tier 2" (which meant I don't know jack squat)
After an hour on the phone with the clown, he finally admitted he was going to have to connect me with a real tier 2. Five minutes later I was off the phone and my MMS was working.

This isn't entirely true. Issues have probably all been ironed out now but when the op6t came out even with apns correct mms did not work. As it stands some roms receive mms with terrible quality because image is compressed to less than a mb. There was talk of special compatibility things in oos that was missing in custom roms.
Hoping to resurrect this thread with updated information regarding Android 10 based ROMs. Can anybody report about verizon issues with Android 10 ROMs on the One Plus 6t? (The reason I'm asking is because I'm currently using Lineage OS 16 on mine. SMS works with the QKSMS app, but there are recent reports in the Fajita LOS 17.1 xda thread that Verizon problems have possibly gotten worse in version LOS 17.1)
Since nobody has responded to this thread, I'll update it myself. I was previously using Lineage 16 with my Oneplus 6T on Verizon's network and my texting app was QKSMS. This combination worked well. I finally decided to update to Lineage 17.1. Unfortunately, I was not able to get MMS working (neither sending or receiving) with this version on Lineage.
But I'm happy to report that I then tried Omnirom Q and it works great! I'm still using QKSMS. However, it should be noted that the stock messaging app that comes with Omnirom also works!
Hey, not sure if anyone is still paying attention to this thread but anyone have any current roms that are working on Oneplus 6t on verizon? I read they arent updating it anymore but I would really like to keep using my phone.
I'm using Lineage 18 on my Oneplus 6t. I wouldn't call it full support, because I have to modify one config file after I update the phone. But after modifying that config file, everything works. I'm very happy with it. See this post for details on what needs to be modified:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-lineageos-18-1.4174689/page-24#post-85238717
The config file change does persist after reboots. But it won't survive an update. So it must be applied each time, after you update the ROM.
Will CR Droid work with OnePlus 9 On Verizon?
