Probably the worst place the ask this question. Drill down how many bionic owners live in Akron, then drill down how many actually know what xda-developers is...May want to try the vzw support forum, but since you already called, pull the battery, if it doesn't come back, see about bringing the handset in.

I live in akron but will not be home until tomorow.

I am home now and 4g is working great on my phone here in akron.

I live near canton and 4G works every day for me in Canton and worked fine in Akron this weekend.

They had to send me a new sim. Idk why but they turned my original sim off? Even tho it picked up 3g

Hopefully the SIM card worked. I took my bionic into vzw with complaints about the phone losing data, and when changing from 4g to 3g, it would loose data connection also, and it wouldnt pick up 4g when it should have. first they gave me a new SIM and sent me on my way.
That didn't help, and two days later, went back into vzw. After a factory data wipe and telling the vzw rep that a wipe wouldnt help, luckily the phone wouldnt go into 4G in the store, and they finally realized that the phone had a problem.
The new phone seems to be much better, but occasionally it will take a while to switch from 4g to 3g or 1g.

The switch from 4g or 1x to 3g is a problem that all verizon 4g phones have. It is a problem with the 1st generation 4g chips. The only debate Is whether it is a hardware problem or a firmware problem. Unfortunately for all of us, verizon is skirting the issue and seriously procrastinating about fixing it.

Data loss

My phone keeps freaking dropping data constantly after going to .893 build and it's pissing me off. Tried refreshing vip, sim pull, and turning on data roaming, yet none works. Any suggestions would be lovely

Data Loss and Unthrottled
I did the .893/Th3ory V2.0 thing as soon as it was all available. I was one of the first to report that my data issues were greatly improved. Living in the country I could only test it with the wifi to 3G hand off and it was working great and reconnecting to 3G really quickly if not instantaneously. Well, I went to town today and checked the 3G to 4G hand off and it was terrible. I had to do the Airplane mode thing twice before I got 3G back!! I was so disappointed. And then tonight I did a nandroid backup and after rebooting I went to Root Explorer to rename it so I would know exactly what it represented. I was in the process of typing the name and adding that it was unthrottled and that's when it hit me. The only difference from when the data hand off was working to when it wasn't working was UNTHROTTLED. I had run the script. I immediately went to the script and ran the restore and rebooted. And by the way, that reboot took forever. I really thought I was caught in a loop. But after it rebooted, the immediate hand off from wifi to 3G was back!!! I know this is only one data point, but it working right now for me (again!!)!!

Go back into cheesecake and snag the 5.6.893 update. GREATLY improves radio. Haven't had a SINGLE drop since running it, plus I usually have full bars.
Of course, the standard procedure still exists (stock, bloated, etc) and I'm not responsible if you mess anything up.

I've yet to receive any update, but I've been losing data it seems almost daily. It sucks having to power down then restart, I always lose apps & have to reinstall them.

Move those apps from the Media Area back to the phone app storage area and they will stop disappearing.

sprint s4 metropcs mms fix

This is to fix Mms message on metropcs flashed sprint galaxy s 4 your phone most already be flashed to metropcs with working internet, Flash the zip in recovery and reboot, mms messages should work from first boot. This will last thru a factory reset.
Edit: I was ask to add some details as to wat the zips doing and wat I do. I edit the mms-config.xml in the stock Mms.apk/SecMms.apk to settings from verizon which work for metropcs, I also use an apns-conf.xml that I edited for metropcs. the zip will mount data and mount system, it will delete Mms.apk/SecMms.apk and Mms.odex/SecMms.odex, it will delete dalvik-cache for Mms.apk/SecMms.apk, it will delete the telephony.db file in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ which countains apns. it will replace Mms.apk/SecMms.apk with the one I edited for metropcs it also replaces the apns-conf.xml in /system/etc/ which countains the default apns for the one I edited for metropcs (on first boot the phone will create a new telephony.db with the default apns countained in this apns-conf.xml, that is why this fix lasts thru a datawipe/factory reset). For more details take a look at the updater-script.
for the 4.3 script, flash the zip - reboot to system. Then open dialer and dial ##3282# hit edit enter spc then go to more then lte apn settings and click the circle on the right of the global roaming apn to activate it then hit home and all should be good
if you have issue where messaging app has default android icon use root explorer go to /system/app long press on SecMms.apk select move hit back hit back again go to /sdcard and paste SecMms.apk on sdcard, it should now show the up on sdcard with normal icon long press on SecMms.apk select move hit back go to /system/app and paste SecMms.apk back in /system/app and reboot phone should now show normal messaging icon
I am not responseable for anything that happens

Hang on...I must clarify. As much as I love to profit off of Metro flashes, we need to get the facts straight.
Flashed phones to Metro will not work nationwide. Boost will. Metro has better talk & text in their coverage area, but their data can either be equal to or slightly slower then Boost (depends what time of the day you're on the network). We also JUST got 3g here in the Tampa Bay area, and we're a huge market, go figure.

ive had very good luck though if i may say so myself. i have traveled to florida new york san francisco and alabama and gotten very good coverage on my flashed s3 from verizon and im suing the 3033 prl in atlanta. its faster than i could have hoped for. i have heard though before that flashed phones do not work well outside of the state theyre flashed in but aside form that metro itself has bigger coverage than boost and sprint. and now they are merging with t-mobile although im still not sure how thats working out because theyre rolling out city by city certain thing such as hartford dallas baltimore and i think boston.

interesting. almost a year ago we had 3g coverage over here in saint pete, i had to use a special prl on my step brothers admire 3g to get it to load up right though.
now a days its all lte anyways so no one uses 3g

Then you would have been the first. I've been flashing in this area for over 2 years at least, and none of my fellow flashers in the area got 3g besides 1 tower near University Mall.
Can you tell us about this special prl?

Rooted and cannot get lte

I got my HTC one as soon as the black model came out. When I got the phone LTE was only available in the town I got the phone in. I live about 30 miles away. LTE has been live in my town now for the last month and I can not connect. If I go back to the town I got it in, LTE works just fine. I've done a ##786#, updated my profile, installed a corp prl. Nothing seems to help.
I am wondering if I need to revert to stock unrooted in order to update to LTE, or if ther are new radios. Any ideas would be appreciated.

So what your saying is, you bought the phone in City A, and you live in City B. LTE works in City A where you bought the phone, but as soon as you got home (City B), LTE wouldn't connect. However if you return to City A LTE connects and works.
I don't think the problem is with your phone, it sounds like the towers are not fully active in your city.

I would normally agree, however my wife has LTE and she has the exact same phone. My buddies across town have LTE also, one with an SIII and one with an S4. I swear the only difference is I have a rooted phone. I would assume it is the phone, but it works every time I hit the city limits of the town I purchased it in.

Just RUU the phone, and reroot. But to be quite honest, it sounds like either a ROM problem, a kernel problem, a powersave problem, or that LTE is disabled. Do a ##DATA#, go to edit, and under one of those tabs you willl be able to select the mode of operation. Select the one that says CDMA + LTE. If this is properly set and you don't get LTE, then you should install a good ROM and kernel. I recommend using d3rpOne as the ROM, and elemtalX by flar2 as the kernel. There are no radios to flash, or updated radios. PRL (stock PRL) will not inhibit LTE, nor will it enable it by using a corporate PRL. There is only like 1 or 2 PRL ranges which will disable LTE. If all else fails, RUU it. You should never do a ##786# on a custom or rooted ROM. After the RUU, i suggest you do the ##RTN# again. If you have LTE and your phone isn't defective, LTE will work. Then proceed to getting the custom recovery, and S-Off. Don't worry about rooting, since d3rpOne is already rooted.
RUU then ##RTN# fixes any and all configuration / corruption issues. If this does not fix it, have Sprint give you a new One.
Also, RUU'ing your phone will wipe the internal storage... Back it up first.

Thanks. I'll give it a go this evening. I'll let all know how it worked as soon as I finish.

There is a new radio out now
1.00.20.0626

Did u check network mod?

Help!! Can't get phone to recognize Verizon Network.

So i got my Bionic unlocked, rooted and the GSM chip activated and successfully used it for six months in Chile but now that I am back in the states it will not register on Verizons network. I've heard some people saying it takes about 30 minutes to pick up signal but that hasn't happened after two days. I can go into the setting and try to change the band that is is on but I get a force close every time. I think it is stuck on the GSM radio bands and can't switch off. Now i'm trying to fxz JB back to the original using RSDlite but the phone isn't recognized and I can't figure it out. Can anyone help?? Thank you !
I can go into *#*#info#*#* and check what network it is set to, which is WCDMA preferred but it's not picking up anything from Verizon. I try to change it to one of the LTE / CDMA settings and I get a force close.
I'm also wondering if I could install Cyanogenmod because I do have root. Any thoughts?
Please help a brother out! I'm so naked without my phone

Yes no luck. Factory reset, new sim card, old sim card. tried to use RSD to ref lash but RSD not recognizing. Otherwise the phone works fine, wifi, apps, but no service..

Sounds like someone needs to go visit this guy.. SamuriHL at the House of Moto.... Even if your RSD setup doesn't work I would about guess that this guys ways will be a better result... God Speed and Good Luck.
