[Verizon Droid Charge] black02ss:
I switched my settings to CDMA and the network type changed from LTE to eHRPD. Switched back and shows LTE. I was experiencing the same issues as others until yesterday. I did a wipe through CWR and now my connections switch instantly and maintain connection. I have had one error since the reset. I'm on the latest gummycharged. Really happy now and am going to hold off on updating to GB.
[Verizon Droid Charge] no1kung1:
For me, if I set it to CDMA, the Mobile Network Type is eHRPD.

If i set it to LTE, Mobile Network Type is also eHRPD (I am connected via 3g though, no 4g at work, I will have to check what it says in a 4g area later today).

Is this correct that mobile network type is a function of what network I am connected to, versus what my data network setting is?

I was having my data drop out just this morning. I was in an area that I was positive was 4g, and my phone connected to 1x. I turned off and on mobile data and when it reconnected it was 4g. Could this be a sign that my SIM card is really to blame?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Yankees368:
eHRPD is the correct network. These 4G phones connect to it instead of plain EVDO, as it is supposed to help transitions between CDMA and LTE.

As for LTE signal dropping, I constantly have this happening and it is due to coverage. At work and school, my phone goes from LTE to EVDO on a constant basis because the LTE coverage is apparently worse than EVDO. It is very, very annoying.

Often times the phone will display LTE, I try to use it, it stalls and I end up on EVDO.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Freekshow:
I am a month old Droid Charge owner and have been having the problem with my first Charge AND a replacement. I will go from 5 full bars to NO DATA or 1x service and get the NO NETWORK message. MOST of the time I have to restart the phone and I will have full data and phone connectivity back. It happens 5-10 times a day. I was thinking it was the LTE setting ( we do not have 4g in my area yet ) , so I set the network to 3G automatic. SAME THING. This is very frustrating as I am coming from a Blackberry Bold 9650 and NEVER had less than 3 bars in all the areas i travel and live. Its RARE that I can get 5 bars on my Charge for a signal , unless I am at home which is 300 yards from a verizon tower. Everywhere else is 1-2 bars where I normally held 4-5 no problem before. ANY IDEAS ?? I was hoping it was a network problem but being it happens everyday it cant be. Whats weird is that it will happen with 5 bars of service. It will go to NO DATA SERVICE for 2 minutes and then go to 1x......the only way to get it back to 3g is to reboot the phone or wait 5 minutes. FRUSTRATING

just my 2 cents
[Verizon Droid Charge] mark7568:
Same there bro! Maybe gingerbread will iron out the bugs. Hopefullysoon it will be coming to our phs.

[Verizon Droid Charge] ChadZ:
I was told in my area the cell tower was four miles away and reception is marginal for my area. Makes no sense since my 3g phone didn't have this problem
[Verizon Droid Charge] jjenkins2005:
I would call BS on that....they tried me with that but once I told them my wifes phone had great service they started to look a little harder...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schoat333:
I jut picked up my charge yesterday. Seems to work fine. I did notice if I lose the 4g signal, it will drop to 3g, as it should, but when I'm back in a 4g area, it doesn't reconnect. I'll have to turn it to CDMA, and then back to LTE to get it to reconnect to 4g. Is that normal?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jjenkins2005:
I think your issue is PRL and Mobile Network Type related... This was how my issue started. What do you have listed for those?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Wheelman6969:
I am having the same problem in North Florida. What I have noticed is that the data connection drops when you send and sometimes when receiving a text message.

Sometimes it happens after a phone call too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SigmunDroid:
My PRI is listed as 15011.

My Network is listed as LTE, probably because currently I'm in LTE's coverage area.

However having had the phone for 11 days since purchase it will toggle

at random by itself to 3g, and sometimes NO data at all...

Does anyone know how to change this value from LTE to hybrid?

I found the hidden menu code but it's not an option.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AnalyzeFaith:
Not sure if this will work for you but I had the same issue. Do *228, pull the battery, pull the sim, wipe the sim off. Let it sit for a minute, pop it back in and it should work. It solved my problem and it doesnt drop at all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Wheelman6969:
My 3G signal totally died on my phone yet I can still send text messages and make calls. VZN is sending me a new phone so I am back in my HTC Imagio.

I think there is a hardware and or software problem with this phone causing the data to drop.

Before the 3G died, I would loose 3G data when I sent a text message, made a call or anything like that. A reboot of the phone brought the data back until it totally died.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnightCrusader:
I'm pretty sure that is because HTC phones have a NAND lock that keeps anything from being written to the system flash. Part of the process to load up the unlocked bootloader is to turn off the NAND lock.

Take a little extra time and do it the right way. As mentioned above, you'll need adb if things get hosed sometime in the future. There are some excellent step by step videos on youtube. You could've already been finished in the amount of time you spent reading this thread.

The standard root method with ADB is a walk in the park compared to rooting the EVO.

If you can follow instructions and basically type something that's already laid out, just follow the ADB root method. Its as easy as flan
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atwnsw:
now realize that I am totally clueless.

Over a month ago somebody on this board was kind enough to walk me through rooting my phone (I did the manual ADB for dummies and did learn about that part of the programming since I rooted my phone manually. I installed DAS Bamf 1.5 remix, new radio, kernel, etc.... Since then I have been tied up with family emergencies and other priorities and haven't had the time to dedicate to the phone. Now I am ready to update the software and want to make sure that I am doing this correctly. Please note that the original rooting process was completely overwhelming and simply a blurr....

1) Using Rom Manager Premium (Clockwork Mod) version3.1.0.2:

Reboot into Recovery Mode

Backup and Restore

Backup

Reboot system now

2) Titanium Backup Pro

Backup/Restore

(Not sure what settings I should use in Preferences)... I remember reading that one

should not backup system services. Not sure how ....

Batch

Run Backup of all user apps + system data

Run Batch operation

3) From here I am lost...

I know that I have to:

Save the upgraded ROM, Radio, Kernel files in order to install them.

Not sure which ROM, Radio, Kernel. Since I am a newbie, I am thinking of staying w/ Froyo and DAS Bamf 1.7/1.8 after reading about intermittent problems w/ GB along with the infamous bricking.

Wipe out the cache/Memory

As I write this I realize how lost and confused and concerned that I will screw it up.

Is anybody willing to walk me through this the first time?

I will document it so I don't have to trouble this board again...

Thanks in advance...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarigand:
Hey man.

Nice to see you want to come back. I just ROMed my phone this morning and am loving the options I get. I loaded up BAMF 1.8. I used this guideline to help me out and it's worked like a charm.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/thunderbolt-rooting-roms-hacks/77350-guide-how-backup-restore-install-roms-thunderbolt.html
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jharris0221:
If I understand you correctly and you want to upgrade BAMF 1.5 to 1.8, the process is not too hard. First do a batch backup of all data and apps with titanium. Save the new BAMF rom to the root of your sd card. Make sure you check the md5 sum of the rom once copied to the sd card against the md5 sum posted on the download page. You can use a free program like Md5summer (Google it). Then, reboot into recovery through Rom manager. Wipe the cache (not sure if you need to wipe data. I would say don't since you already have a BAMF rom, but it is several versions ago. If you have trouble you can go back and wipe it and reinstall). Then, still in recovery , choose install from zip and navigate to the right file. Let it install, choose reboot, and you are ready to go. If you wiped data, restore with titanium.

With that said, you are taking a big risk doing this without understanding it. You could end up with a nonfunctional device if you are not careful. Please take the time to read up on this stuff! I'm not responsible if something goes wrong!

If this was helpful please hit thanks!

Update: Don't worry about the radio or kernel for now. Should work fine with what you have. Read up on the advantages of flashing lights radio/kernel before you decide to change.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atwnsw:
Thanks for the link. That is very helpful.

Here is what I am running:

Android 2.2.1

Baseband 1.16.00.0223r

Kernel 2.6.32.21 bamf 4.42-g64d4fb1-dirty by adrynalyne

Build 1.13.605.7_Das_BAMF_1.5-remix

Software 1.13.605.7

If I am too conservative to try GB, what is the best Froyo configuration for battery life, etc....?

Other than upgrading Das Bamf 1.5 to 1.8 (assuming you agree), should I upgrade the Kernel or Radio?

Thanks again.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arbys:
I haven't updated my radio since DasBAMFRemix 1.3. I am a light user and can usually get 8 hours of battery life. Chargers are cheap. I have 3 one at the office one in the car and one at home. Any way I usually only wipe everything but data when upgrading from a previously DasBAMF release. I believe the DasBAMF releases include a kernel(which gets updated, but not every release)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeastieBoyy:
If you're taking the plung to flashing a new rom. why not do gingerbread. I had nothing but random reboots on everything i tried with Froyo. I'm using BAMF Gingerremix 2.1 . everything is smooth as silk.

if you go that route, you need ginger radio 2.0 or 2.5 and bamfremix 2.1. flash radio, then flash gingerremix both through CWR.

Good luck!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnetox:
Hey guys...

I have a bell atrix, and I just downloaded the new update released.

It prompted me to install it, so I plugged it into the USB in my computer (so it had guaranteed power) and hit install.

The phone powered off, rebooted, and is now showing me a picture of a Droid standing next to a triangle with an exclamation mark inside of it.

I'm not sure what this means, it has been like this for ~10 minutes.

Help?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cua0:
if you tap the bottom right hand corner of the screen it should display some stuff under the little man.

also if you have removed the bloatware that will cause it to fail the checks. I ran in to the same issues, I ended up having to download the stock /system folder from a thread on here, I replaced all the files with root explorer. that allowed the update to function mostly, I'm still having some issues with it though.

I have been loading the update from an sdcard (insert link to motorola dot com) using the system recovery app (free on the market) the installation goes fine until it gets to "olympus.update_cdma_ota_bp(" /tmp/baseband_ota_rdl.bin" . "/tmp/baseband_ota.img")

Error

(Status 7)

I then have to reboot the phone, this shows all the updates as complete and that i'm running all the latest firmware except that i have no 3g/4g data whatsoever. (works fine on wifi)

maybe that helps you some and hopefully someone can supply an answer that will help us both.

[Atrix 4G General] Singhman:
I need a phone that has a working gps. I have a samsung galaxy s, and gps sucks!!! I'm not talking about number of satellites, i'm talking about accuracy (on the app "gps test"). On my samsung it jumps around from 32 to 64ft accuracy and puts me on parallel streets.

Today a store rep let me take a htc incredible S in my car and drive around a bit. I was shocked to see that the gps accuracy was worse than my galaxy s!!! It found and locked onto many satellites (sometimes 11 of 11) but the accuracy sucked. It would fluctuate anywhere from 30 ft to 120 ft accuracy using the gps test app. At some points it would show me off of the road. Is this a common problem on this phone? I borrowed a friends motorolla atrix the other day and had an accuracy of 4.9ft! Thats accurate to like 2 steps! Would really appreciate your feedback. If your gps accuracy is good on your phone, then what do you think could have caused the one i tried today to be so horrible? Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] asesino:

[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:

[EVO 4G General] BonkyMoon:
I just have my notifications set to be really quiet all the time, but that's just a personal preference that transfers well to using the phone as an mp3 player.

I use PowerAmp; I'm a fan of the way it looks, the lockscreen widget, and I also like how I can have it start playing automagically when I plug the aux. cable in, and it stops when I pull it out. Eventually I'll get a bluetooth setup, but that costs money.

Someday after I get my google music collection properly tagged and organized I'll give the google music player a shot to see how it is, but right now with a 16gb microsd card, it seems to be enough for me to maintain a good enough collection.
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
I've just started using my evo 4g as a mp3 player for my car and love it. I used to use my ipod touch, but got tired of syncing music.

In one of my cars I've got a Pioneer AVIC D3 GPS system with bluetooth. What's awesome about this system and my EVO is that the Pioneer unit supports A2DP stereo. So I can actually play my music through bluetooth, no cable connection required! Pretty badass.

The only bad thing about it is that Android bluetooth is ass because the bitpool settings are too low and there's no way to up them. As a result bluetooth sound quality sucks. On my old Windows Mobile 6.1 phone you could change the bitpool settings by editing the registry, and with my Senheiser MM100 bluetooth headphones I swear the sound is a good as a decent pair of wired headphones. Hooked up to my Evo the same headphones are unlistenable. That's why I still use my old Windows mobile phone as an MP3 player for the gym.
[EVO 4G General] dm36415:
I listen to Pandora all day at the office using my EVO connected to an Altec Lansing Bluetooth speaker.

I had the "GPS Reboot" issue on my old EVO, so I just use it like an iPod to listen to my mp3's loaded on the SD card, and occasionally Pandora when I have WiFi access. Like having a free iPod.

As an aside, I keep my current work EVO stock (except for the launcher), and use my old EVO for loading different ROM's etc. Best of both worlds.
[EVO 4G General] wryun:
My EVO repalced my iPod months ago. I have a 16GB card, and I use PlayerPro.
