[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbt816:
ugh, still no worky

Well, I got home today and still having trouble with data connectivity. Closer to home is still very little to non-existent.

Anyone got any suggestions?

killasense 3.7.19
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
What radio are you using?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbt816:
I don't know, but my assumption is that it's the stock radio unless killasense included a radio. How would I know?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Go into settings-->about phone -->software information-->baseband version. Chances are you could use a radio update.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbt816:
If that's the case, why didn't verizon tell me that? aargh

1.49.00.0406w_1, 0.01.79.0331w_1
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Those are the .19 radios. You could maybe try going to the 605.9 radios and see if that helps you. I have heard that others do better with those radios.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATHORNFAM2:
having problems with sending sms. i have data, calling, and receiving sms but cant send have the 605.19 radios and i was using wifi tether and lte on off before it stopped working. please help i want getting frustrated want to text my girlfriend
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbt816:
oh well....

flashed the .9 radios....still nothing. Well that's not true I do have the 3G symbol but no connectivity other than phone / texting. The data symbol switches between nothing, 1X and 3G (most 1X - but even with that, there's no data)

Do any of the roms come with their own radios?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Roms don't include radios. Have you tried checking to see if you have lte/cdma enabled in mobile networks? Try toggling airplane mode for a minute and then turn it back off.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbt816:
Verizon had me try that when I was talking with them. I'll try the airplane mode thing. thx
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbt816:
Tried the airplane mode toggle. Still issues. I've figured out that when I travel b/w Dallas and Tyler that there are certain areas where I'm 1X or nothing and certain areas I'm getting 4G.

It's almost as if something b/w the towers and my phone is outdated. I'd bet I'm not communicating with the towers the same. Makes me wonder if it's the older towers or newer ones that give me more trouble.

I flashed Thundershed 1.6 today. I really liked the look and feel of most of it. I didn't realize that AOSP has no google in it at all and I use google for contacts and calender a lot! Also, I noticed the home and search buttons at the bottom of the tbolt weren't functional in Thundershed. It certainly didn't help my data connectivity issues. So I don't know.

Downloaded Skyraider Zeus. Thinking about trying it too. But for now, I'm back on killasense. I've decided I need to stick to sense roms b/c I'm so dependent on google. :(

The last thing I've not tried is a hard reset. If I do it, will it somehow put me back on the original stock rom? Or does it leave me on killasense?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I wouldn't hard reset. A factory reset in recovery does the same without reinstalling the original firmware. I get the same between Tyler and Dallas. There is a spot right before Canton that I usually lose signal completely. It's not your radios or your phone. It's definitely the towers or coverage.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomad1600:
Not trying to sell you on AOSP or Thundershed 1.6, but AOSP ROMs don't come with Google Apps (aka GAPPS) so you have to flash them right after you flash the AOSP ROM. If you look at the OP of Thundershed you get this instruction:

OTE: Make sure you have the latest CWR installed.

Download the ROM and 'gapps-thundershed-gb-20120604-signed.zip' to your sdcard...

Reboot into Recovery...

If you're coming from a different rom, please wipe data/factory reset...

Please wipe /system under "mounts and storage" in CWR if coming from another ROM...

Wipe Dalvik to be sure...

Flash ThunderShed...

Flash gapps-thundershed-gb-20120604-signed.zip..

.

You then reboot the phone and you are ready to go. Once you have waited for the ROM to "bake it" for 15-30 minutes, you can open up the Play Store and you should have google, calendar, contacts, etc.

SkyRaider sounds like a great Sense-based ROM. But if you really like Thundershed but you don't use it because you think it lacks Google apps, hopefully the above helps.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbt816:
Thanks for the reply. Actually I did flash the GAPPS, but I thought it meant GO apps b/c there was a GO apps launcher.

I searched all over that phone for Google Play. It just wasn't there. Weird. But I didn't "bake" it for 30 minutes. Hmmmm......

Of course, I hated the fact that the home button didn't work. If it was on an internet page, the only way back to the main/home screen was to keep hitting back (over and over and over).

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

So as much fun as I've had flashing roms and radio, back to the issue.....no data connectivity in certain parts of the planet. Flashing back and forth from 1X to nothing. Phantom 3G/4G access. Doesn't work at my house but mysteriously works at the Verizon store 5 miles away. Does work at my fire station with 4G speed (20 mbps!!)

In a nutshell this is what I've done, not necessarily in order:

called Verizon, they ran a ticket. A day later said it wasn't them.

rooted phone (got S-off)

replaced SIM

enabled CDMA only

flashed 2 different roms

flashed the .9 radios

flashed back to the newer .19 radios

changed to a different battery

changed a different battery cover

toggled airplane mode

tweaked modem ##78#

gone back to verizon store just to pal around and talk to a guy (he learned from me b/c he wants to root his Bionic)

I see a few others on another forum are having nearly identical problems. I've tried their suggestions too.

This has been going on since 9/17. I've spent more time on this than I did raising 3 kids (ok, maybe not that much but it seems like it).

If anyone has ideas, I'm open. I got this phone right before my warranty expired back in June. So though my warranty is gone, this phone is only 3 months old. I'll try anything.

My last chance is to call Verizon (guy at store said to do this) and see if I can sweet-talk them into just sending me a new phone. Failing that, I guess I'll buy something else off ebay or craigslist.

I hate the fact that no one (HTC, Verizon) is supporting any software updates. It's like 1 or 2 and they're done. At least with apple, they seem to support the phone for a couple of years. (through venting)

Thanks in advance for any ideas!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbt816:
The saga unfolds....

I called Verizon. In speaking with a friendly guy I ask if he could just send me another phone. I tell him I know I'm out of warranty, yada yada.

He says, "sure. since you have the extended warranty I can send one out tomorrow morning." I say, "At the risk of shooting myself in the foot, I don't have an extended warranty. I don't pay for one." He said, "Uh....yeah you do. You got it on 9/27/12".

So apparently when I went to get the SIM card on 9/27, the guy behind the counter (without asking me) signed me up for the $6.99/month insurance.

Go figure! I may even keep the insurance for a bit until I make sure this new-ish Thunderbolt works well.

On another note....I flashed Skyraider for Zeus. This is a really neat rom. It has a lot of neat features. I'm also looking at flashing Thundershed. I read that some people had the issue with the home button resolve by re-flashing.

Dropping 4G

Is anyone having issues over the last month with non rooted Thunderbolt dropping data connections? got a new phone and new sim card from VZ and same issue rearing its ugly head.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foreverplay:
i still get data drops here and there so your not alone
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneCrushe:
OK - mine is happening all day long. didnt know if there was anything i could do to help with it other than going into VZ and having them factory reset the phone again and give me a new sim card and new phone again.. ugh...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I don't know for sure what the coverage is like for you but when 4g is spotty i have data drops bad. If I enable 3g only its fine.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneCrushe:
I never had any issues with 4g until last month. Had the phone since October of last 2011 and then all of a sudden i started getting random shut offs and drops in 4g when it drops 4g it looses all signal all together- and does not drop to 3g like it should. just get connection error or network error.

Area I live in has great 4g coverage.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I don't know what to tell you then. That does the trick for me. The only other thing I could suggest is pulling your sim out and cleaning the gold part of it with some alcohol or a rubber eraser and putting it back in your phone. The back cover on your phone may not be making good contact with the little gold tabs too.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatCavedIn:
Yea check your battery cover the antenna for 4G is imbedded in the cover. If the contacts aren't touching you won't get 4G. Maybe just barely touching contacts can cause intermediate problems. Be careful if you try to bend them they can easily get broken then you're up that creek ...

from BatCavedIn

using Mr Umbrella's Dec 14 ROM withOUT Extension Pack

(plus some minor BatCavedIn mods)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I also read somewhere that over time taking the back off causes it to warp some and replacing that fixes the problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneCrushe:
Thanks for the ideas. I will have to test that out. When they sent me the new phone it didnt come with a back cover. so that could be the whole problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneCrushe:
Got a second new phone from VZ and this time it seems to be working fine. For now- got a new back on it. maybe that was the issue.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rainbow99984:
I have flashed couple of rom, when problem started can't say exactly. The problem is if i shut down mobile and plug in charger or usb cable it automatically make it Switch on. is this normal?

I did Heimdall one click back to stock and this problem goes. So now before going to any custom flash can any one guide me if this is normal.

step i would follow after this is:

1. back to stock by Heimdall one click jar

2. put phone in download mode by "adb reboot download " as i have problem making it into download mode i tried all suggested combo but nothing works for me.

3. flashed the Entropy's dd kernal again by Heimdall one click solution.

4. no copy the custom rom zip in sd card

5 boot to recovery , do the cleaning, install zip .
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slicingtaco:
It shouldn't completely turn on, however it should only turn on to where it displays and confirms that the battery is charging and then shut-off automatically seconds later. To get into Download Mode:

1. Turn off your phone and pull out the battery for about 10-15 seconds.

2. Just put the battery back and don’t turn it on.

3. Hold both Up+Down Volume keys at the same time simultaneously plug in the USB Cable.

4. After about 2-3 seconds, you can see the yellow download mode logo on the screen.

Heimdall or Odin should now recognize and pick up your device and go from there of to a fresh start.

What OS are you using? How familiar are you with it?

What's your current level of experience?

What exactly did you do to "reset to factory settings"?

Have you flashed a ROM to your Kindle or leave it stock?

When you say "it goes to the twrp then goes to the orange kindle fire", are you saying that it boots up to the TeamWin blue curtain splash screen then goes back to the stock boot logo? Or is it something completely different?

Are you familiar with the difference between TWRP and FireFireFire?

Based on your description and depending on your current understanding of how the Kindle Fire works, your problem could be one (or more) any number of things.

Hi,

You download Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.6 and run it.

Then choose 1 then 1 ( normal mode). KF is live again.

If still live again, you try Kindle Unbrick

If still live again, can you try factory cable and run command

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

In TWRP, you can install rom stock kf ( download rom for KF from Amazon)

sorry guys

You guys are right, i should explain better and ill try to, I don't have much knowledge of the Kindle fire. OKay so, I have a kindle tht runs andriod software 6.3.1. I've recently rooted my kindle using 0.9.6 utility. I've upgraded my kindle to go launcher ex. I wanted to reset my kindle to how i bought it at the beginging. So i went to device menu and put it to factory resent, which didnt reset everything. Then i turned it off and tried going to twrp to see if i can find a reset to normal button. There wasn't any, and after twrp when it goes to the orange kindle logo, it just stays there and doesnt do anything. The kindle fire logo isnt lighting up or changing at all. So i need some help on what to do, thanks :) hope this information is better
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichigo:
If you just want a factory Reset then just flash the Kindle Fire Stock ROM.

First go into TWRP.

Just to be safe go to wipe and wipe cache, dalvik's cache, and then do a factory reset. Then put the Kindle Fire Stock ROM zip file on your kindle fire. To do this go into TWRP and select Mount. Now you can acess your sd card so put it on there. Now go to install and you should see the .zip file. Install it and you have a brand new Stock ROM(basically a factory reset).

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichigo:
So you couldn't do it because it wont detect your device? Did you try going to TWRP and pressing mount? If that doesn't work, then I'm not really sure what you can do. It should detect it. Try a hard reset and mount again. Sorry that I cant really help you right now :(

Could you maybe give anymore information? Like what it says when you plug it into your computer.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andriodproblems:
....

when i plug it in to my computer, theres a usb cable with a check sign, but when i go to my computer, theres no kindle fire, in the removable storage area like there always was so i could copy and paste the kindle fire 6.2.2 to reset it, deleteing the rooting

I just backed up all my apps in My Backup and for all of them I got a Market Link not found unablento connect to market error.

Im in Thundershed 1.4 rom.

Any idea why I would get this error?
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I dunno but why don't you use titanium backup?
[Thunderbolt General] recDNA:
I use both. I usually prefer to reinstall apps from my backup because titanium mixes in some (system?) apps that don't play well from one rom to another.

It seems that updating my backup fixed the problem.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
It's always best to exclude system apps from your backup. If you don't back them up then you should be ok.
[Thunderbolt General] recDNA:
My Backup does that automatically so it reduces my chances of screwing up. I do use titanium for individual apps....just don't like using its batch feature.

I don't know how some developers can write great code all night long. The later it gets the more obvious my errors are the next day.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Yea I used my backup for a while but I got tired of the errors I was getting from using it. You can filter what apps show in your batch list in tibu which makes it easier for keeping system apps out.

I really don't understand why people keep comparing these two phones. They're clearly in different classes, if by size standards alone! It seems to me folks hear that two new phones are coming out and immediately ask which one to buy before doing a simple Google search.

Edit, to make this post a bit more constructive: Are you interested in a big phone or a little phone. That should be enough to rule out one or the other. Then you can compare within their respective classes.
