Problems with 3G data? Don't hard reset, read this first!

Thank you very much! I will give this a try. I was getting very upset today.

Everybodyis having problems and I don't understand why they don't notify everyone by text that there is a problem. No doubt people are returning these phones left and right.

 

Thanks for the heads up!
This should be stickied considering many users have this problem and it will save them from the headache of a hard reset.

 

I made the change and my phone still works...

I will travel soon to a 3g area to see if it works.

Thanks again.

 

Ok it worked. I was able to get 3g and my gps also worked.

Thanks once again!

 

Thank You so much for letting me know. I wish the verizon tech himself was aware of this today. I am in the middle of resetting all of my stuff as we speak. Thanks again.

 

So cause I'm one of lucky ones had no issues and just do a hard battery /reset pull once a day to refresh everything..I took a look...does this look normal, any reason I need to set anything back?

 

If you have issues you can always go in and make the change quickly. But if you are not having the issue you can leave it.

 

Thank you so much, worked for me!

 

Thank you. You must have been sent from above you angelic man you, or lady. Man I was about to kill someone. I will switch back in the weekend. Again thank you thank you THANK YOU!

 

Any mention as to when this special only for Tb 3g is going to be up and running again. Just like to see things run on how it was intended to run, I understand things break, but by the end of today if it's still not fixed, then that would be 4 days and counting, I think it's a bit unacceptable considering the size of verizon, or does the "can you hear me now" and backed by the nations blah blah blah principal only apply to the voice end. Am I being anal? yeah probably

I greatly appreciate folks like you that share and post up fixes, but the parent of this thing got to step up as well,, punching in a code to get it going is fine for a day or 2.... but a series of days,,,, I mean it's bad enough gotta punch in a code to just turn off the 4g radio, don't understand why they just didn't put in the switch on the surface.
I haven't tried the switch yet, but does it affect 4g speed once you do? or will 4g mode will not be affected

 

I noticed the problem happens to me when I'm going from 4g to 3g, I lose the mobile broadband, but a reboot seems to bring me back to 3g. I initially spoke to Tech support and was instructed to do a battery pull. That only got 1x, so after multiple battery pulls if did a factory reset and got back to the 3g, but still lose it randomly. Will have to try the above fix if it keeps up.
