Droid 3 does't get 3g aymore?

Right around early May, my droid 3 and my mom's droid 3 stopped gettinng 3g. Ihave switched in and out of airplane mode, switched from cdma to global to gsm and got nothing, and even called verizon about it. No one can tell me why our phones have suddenly lost 3g capabilities. I also checked 3g availability online and double checked with my Nexus One, which still gets 3g. Does anyone know anything about this?

If both phones lost it at the same time, it sounds like a possible local Verizon tower issue. Have you tried traveling to another area to see if the phones gain a 3G signal or try with another Verizon 3G device to see if it gets signal.

Go to ##program and use the 000000 and set it to EVDO only

Or just do it from *#*#4636#*%* That is easier.

I will do that today. I'll report back asap. Thanks!

what does EvoDo only do?

Disabled 1x and makes it so your only speed is 3g.

what's the benefit in that?

You'll get 3g.

And lose voice connection. Exellent advice!

Had similar issue and fixed it by going back to stock, updating via System Updater method in the About Phone System Pref (wording of that may be incorrect but its there in the stock load out). After phone updated I re-rooted and reflashed the rom I was using and problem solved. I should mention that prior to doing that I had verizon customer support stumped and they had shipped me out a replacement phone before I realized how to fix it.

By forcing it to 3g it may force it to work.

You cannot have voice if switch to EV-DO only. It's CDMA. It is not just like GSM/UMTS, where you can switch to UMTS only and continue to have voice service.

I don't think he's suggesting it as a permanent solution, however if there is a hardware problem causing the 3G not to work, then you should be able to confirm this by setting it to evdo only. If it's having some sort of problem switching something on, then maybe the switch to evdo only will enable it and it might work when getting switched back to CDMA auto prl.

Thanks for clarifying. That is exactly what I meant but it was early in the morning and so having the clarification from someone more awake helps. Also I was aware EVDO only is just data.

It doesn't work with every operator.
For example here in Kazakhstan you can subscribe to 1xRTT only with simple handset or to combined 1xRTT + Ev-Do rev.A with smartphone or modem. In case of using service with smartphone switching to "EvDo only" leaves user off both networks.

have you tried a fastboot back to stock? it may be a software issue....

I am sure it is totally NV-item problem. Radio hardware is another issue.
I have changed NV-item 8035, rewritten all NV-items by those from whiterabbit, but still Ev-Do login being tried by MDN plus actual Ev-Do login.

Force LTE?

So I'm in LA inside where I'm at i get three bars of LTE and full bars of 3G since the 3G is stronger it keeps me in 3G for the most part unless i do a profile update then it puts me at 4G for 5 minutes before kicking me back down. So the question is, is there a way to force LTE?

The bars do not represent EVDO (3G) or LTE (4G), they represent 1X Voice on the HTC One. If you want to know the actual signal strength of your 3G and 4G go to settings/About Phone/Network.
My guess is that the LTE is borderline in the building and therefore it goes back and forth. Where I work I have strong LTE and EVDO but when I'm in the building it will switch to 3G once I start using data like Youtube or something. Once I stop and set the phone down it will reconnect to LTE. If I go towards the outer part of the building I will get a better LTE connection, or if I go outside it is really good. This is due to the poor penetration of the 1900mhz LTE.

The phone will connect to the higher priority signal, first 4G and then 3G.
As said above, it seems like your LTE connection is very weak, or else the phone would stick to that.

Ok so i did *#*#4636#*#* and changed it from CDMA + LTE to LTE, CDMA and it hasn't dropped from 4G

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that disable your ability to receive phone calls/texts?

If you set it to "LTE only" then yes but if you set it to "LTE,CDMA" it will only connect to LTE and 1XRTT and bypasses EVDO. So you phone should stay on 4G a lot more since EVDO is disabled but if LTE drops you will drop to 1X

Do I still get 3G if I do (did) this?
Assuming no.

Correct. Hence CDMA/LTE vs CDMA/EvDO/LTE. You can also do LTE only if you're feeling bold.

Bought A HTC One on ebay..having problems

I bought a htc one on ebay and I was able to activate the phone no problem and it works but im having a few issues. The biggest issue is that the phone network operator name is HTC and not sprint. So when you are at your lock screen it says htc at the top instead of sprint. Then I noticed that under mobile network settings I don't have roaming control or data guard or any of those settings....they simply are not there. I'm guessing I don't see those options because of the network operator name is htc and not sprint. Ive done a factory reset and no go....did the whole prl and profile updates.
Is this phone unlocked maybe? It has a sprint sim card. Anyone have any clue as to what is going on?

It sounds like it maybe a unlocked HTC One I'm not sure to be honest with you, does it register Sprints LTE network?

Yea it registers on the 4g LTE network. Again the biggest problem is that I have no options for roaming, data guard, international roaming etc

Moto X Not Switching to LTE

So I picked up an unlocked XT1053 GSM developer edition a month or so ago. I got on Net10 and everything seems fine except for one issue.
When I am in an HSPA+ area and come into a known LTE area the phone doesn't seem to switch to LTE right away. If I toggle airplane mode on and off I get full LTE with good signal and it holds strong until I'm back in a weak area. If I am in an LTE area for a while after about 30 min or so it will finally switch on it's own, but I would think it should be much faster without using airplane mode. Anyone have any ideas?

Call your service provider and provide them your IMEI so they can provision your device.

LTE works on my phone though, it just doesn't switch right away. It seems like if HSPA+ is even one dB better then it stays on it. If I toggle airplane mode I get strong LTE. Is that a provisioning issue?
Is there a way with APNs or anything to make LTE take priority if it's present?

It could be the provisioning. You sim may not be fully provisioned. If that doesn't fix it.
You can change it to lte only.
Install a app called any cut. Create a short cut for testing. Select the first option and at the bottom change it lte only. See if it works. If not then the network isn't allowing iy

Well I ordered an actual nano Sim from net10 since they just got them. It will be here tomorrow so I'm sure that when I transfer my service to it my account will get provisioned. If I still have problems I'll try what you mentioned.

Note 4 4g lte data question!

Okay so I've seen this same possible problem with pretty much every 4g lte phone I've had to date now I'm sure it's more a less made this way but my question is when someone uses there cell data alot (I have the true unlimited data) on 4g lte let's say while watching YouTube videos have you ever had it switch to 4G after using it for a bit? This happens on all 4g lte phones I've had I'll be watching YouTube with 4g lte then after using data for awhile it switches to 4G here's where my question comes in, is there a way to force the phone to stick with Only 4g lte? Possible temporarily turn off the 4G an force my note 4 to only use its 4g lte connection? If you need more detail feel free to ask

There's an xposed module for the s5 I think it's lte mode only I was using it on the note4 recently and it works. Unfortunately I don't use xposed anymore so I can't recall exactly what it's called

I was actually messing around with the service menus and came across a service menu that aloud me to force a specific data band so I got it to force 4g Lte even if it has 1 bar cause that's when it goes down to 4g but now it stays and another thing I should note is at My gfs house I usually get 2 bars on lte but after doing this it's been a solid 4 for some reason haha either way it's working that's all that matters

One thing I must note is that you should make sure to have Volte enabled or you may have trouble getting calls through.
