Down to 1x here in Willston Park/ Garden City, NY

Hopefully it will be resolved soon.
[Thunderbolt General] sonsofblades:
Add two more to the list, neither rooted, in bossier city, la. In all honesty, in comparison to sprint's 1x, this is quite fast.

So the network goes down for 12 hours and people start crying... Is it really that big of a deal? It's almost like someone took your first child. What do you want Verizon too tell you? "Uh, it will be 15 hours and 23 min and we will be up and running..."

Never had 4g, but I have 3g! Thank you for not crying.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
I hear ya. I only made the thread to see if anyone else was having the same problem. It's not the end of the world. I laugh at the people who call VZW and want to be credited. I understand that people want things to work that they're paying money for but this kinda **** happens.
[Thunderbolt General] daniel178:
If I'm payin for it, yeah, it's a big deal.

No it's not. If someone took my first child, I'd call the police. In this case, I'm calling Verizon and askin for my 2 bucks back. The whole thing took about 3 minutes. Big deal.

No. I want Verizon to tell me, "here's the 2 bucks that we owe you for us not giving you the service you're paying for."

Guess what. That's exactly what they did.

Everyone else should should too. Teach 'em a lesson.

It's the "this kinda **** happens" attitude that will only make it happen more in the future.

Go out and do something. Be proactive. Passivity only leads to breakdown.
[Thunderbolt General] jakejonez:
Same.

I was running CM7 pre-alpha, so I restored the stock rom, changed the modem settings for EVDO to enabled (doesn't really matter to me since I don't have LTE in my area anyway), verified 3G was in fact working, and then restored CM7. 3G working for me now. It's a temporary fix until Verizon says the problem is fixed.
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
Yeah that's true. My Evo was nearly unusable when Sprint had their data issues about a month ago.
[Thunderbolt General] mariol90:
3G (ehrpd) is working fine for me now. anyone else?
[Thunderbolt General] mAlfunkti0n:
You have no idea what you are talking about, so please just stop before you make yourself look even more ignorant.

Problems like this will happen because that's how technology works. Stuff breaks, someone hits the wrong switch, etc, etc, etc. If you want to waste your time being credited for a whopping two bucks, that's your deal.

This whole "teach 'em a lesson" nonsense is completely stupid and you know it. Stuff breaks, that's just a fact of life.
[Thunderbolt General] Richpopski123:
Are you dead? Nope? Yeah like o said, not the end of the world. I heard Sprint is looking for customers.

Ranting at me is not fixing your phone.

I feel like Sony owes me money because I am unable to use any of the psn network features, and its been almost a week now without MLB, hulu, and online gaming (not a huge deal to me as I only really use the MLB).

I think we should change the name of the phone to "thunderbolt 1x". Has a nice ring to it.
[Thunderbolt General] sdnick484:
Both my wife & I have been on 1X on our Thunderbolts all morning (SF Bay Area), my BB 9650 has been 3g the whole time. I've followed the steps at forum.androidcentral.com/htc-thunderbolt/79880-3g-fix-thunderbolt.html to get to 3g temporarily on my T-bolt.
[Thunderbolt General] patches152:
i called customer service, and i immediately got some club rat type who knows nothing about technology, could not explain what the outage was, etc. i explained that the 4G outage they are reporting should and does not have anything to do with my 3G issues, especially since i'm not in 4G coverage area (reno, nv). according to my friend, he looked at the ticket, says it should only be affecting 4G coverage areas, with 3 and 4Gs being affected.

"technically its an IMS outage, and both LTE and eHRPD route through IMS"

basically, unless your in a 4G coverage area, there shouldn't be an issue. any other outages are a separate issue and should be reported as such until the network team finds that they are associated.

i'm gonna call back and insist that i talk to level 2 tech support, since customer service is obviously not trained in the technical issues that could exist with the network. if rebooting doesn't fix it, they're helpless.

here this may help http://www.droidforums.net/forum/htc-thunderbolt/143898-stuck-1x-how-get-3g-back-4.html
[Thunderbolt General] Jaxjags2100:
It's not hard to understand why you're not getting 3G coverage...The Tbolt was set up as the first phone to handle both data and voice calls without having to turn eachother off. You're not picking up 3G because you're still on that system. You need to do the steps listed in the other thread to switch over to the old 3G system that will not allow you to make phone calls and use data at the same time...
[Thunderbolt General] jbh00jh:
VZW said the 4G LTE and 3G are,down and most people will only get 1X until the network is fixed. Check vzw twitter page for further info.
[Thunderbolt General] patches152:
according to "my friend" at VZW, changing to the "old" 3G could cause authentication issues. not saying it 100% of the time will, but if you change based on those instructions and your phone stops working, you'll know why.

like i said, its an IMS issue with VZW, and is affecting areas up to 100 miles away from current 4G coverage areas, as well as areas being set up to be 4G with the next rollout as they have the switch tech upgraded already.
[Thunderbolt General] mAlfunkti0n:
So because the tech knew nothing, you automatically know everything and assume that it should work "this way" because you said it should?

Man I wish all technology was like that!

Actually, the real issue at hand is, you have no idea on even the easiest level how the technology works, but by acting like you do, you have shown yourself more helpless than the tech you spoke with.
[Thunderbolt General] :
I canceled my sprint service because the 3g data was so terribly slow for months. it was worth paying the etf and switching to verizon who actually has usable 4g and decent 3g, so I don't really mind this that much.

this 1x on verizon is seriously as fast as sprint 3g in and around my home and office (100kbps or so down).

[Thunderbolt General] jawa5636:
Per Verizons twitter just now: We have determined cause of 4G LTE issue & are working with major vendors to restore connections. Details as they come.
[Thunderbolt General] spursrchamps2007:
The problem is you sir, dont know what your talking about. The 4g and 3g are on the same system, hence the reason you can talk and surf on your tbolt on 3g and you cant on other phones. If you follow the 3g fix on the general thread you can get your 3g back, but yeah dont say customer service doesnt know what they are talking about when you dont either.
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
I did the same about a month ago but Sprint had finally admitted there was a problem and let me out of my etf. I also am not upset about this because at least big red is admitting there's a problem unlike Sprint who denied for months they had one. I'll sit tight with my hacked 3G.
[Thunderbolt General] ThunderStick:
This is a network wide issue, happening here in milwaukee, wi as well
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
hmmmmmmmm ya don't say?
[Thunderbolt General] j1k:
I'm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and it's the same here as well

This place is a non-4g zone

Cannot say the same for New Orleans which is a 4g area, though.
[Thunderbolt General] inzandity:
Just my input...but I have had 3g all day in Springfield, MA to Enfield, CT. I rebooted my phone because of a weird swype issue I have been having, and now I am stuck at 1X. Ugh. Thankfully I am home and on WiFi
[Thunderbolt General] MoeDaddy:
this is defiantly not just a 4g area issue, I'm in Jackson Wy and we are at 1x and are not 4g and won't be for some time I'm sure.
[Thunderbolt General] stephenta:
is it weird my battery was just as bad even in 1x all day...
[Thunderbolt General] patches152:
being able to simultaneously use voice and data has nothing to do with being on the same "system", there are two separate radio chips in the device. the standard 3G devices have one radio chip, and you can only utilize one frequency at a time. so no voice and data. with two chipsets you can use each independently.

but thanks for your input
[Thunderbolt General] ttran97:
Your phone might have been drained searching for 4G. Follow the tips for switching to 3G-only and that should help with battery life.

Anyone in Denver? I changed the settings back to 3G, and it worked early this morning, but as of this afternoon, I can't make or receive any call. Right now, all I have is the 3G icon up, but it constantly switches between 4 bars and 0 bars. When I try to make a call, it just beeps once and says "call has been lost".

My assumption was that no one was really losing voice at all through of all of this. Any thoughts?

*edit: I have the BAMF Remix with the new radio flashed.

It's probably be because of your phone trying to get service and keep it. Intermittent service will suck your battery down.

Doesn't the sim only control 4g? If so we should be left with 3g no?
[Thunderbolt General] nkd:
Ok people this is about thunderbolts. If they are stuck at 1x. I dont think this has anything to do whether blackberry or xoom has 3g or not, they use different chips, and even 3g is different on the thunderbolt.

I am stuck at 1x as well with a thunderbolt here.

[Thunderbolt General] Sheon849:
Seems like a 4g issue hopefully this means there going to light up 4g in these areas I for sure would love some 4g in waikiki ^.^
[Thunderbolt General] what25:
Actually, I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that the sim controls all aspects of your account and cell number, including the cdma part. If it only controlled 4g, your phone should work on cdma without the sim card itself. So, it basically works like a GSM SIM card in a GSM phone.
[Thunderbolt General] Sheon849:
Only way to.find that out is to take out ur sim and.see if u still can make calls just no 4g maybe
[Thunderbolt General] mcmillanje:
That is correct sir.
[Thunderbolt General] nkd:
True. The thunderbolt even uses new 3g modem that handles voice and data at the same time, its not the old evdo, it does support it though but you have to enable it with the 778 thing, I wouldn't bother right now, I am sure it will be up by the morning, looks like it happened everywhere, so either a nationwide upgrade or a catastrophe.
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
Stuck on 1x here in Colorado. Doesn't seem to be a 4G issue as I disable LTE.
[Thunderbolt General] hkbladelawhk:
