4G internet not working at all!!!

[tkdghk0831]

I'm actually regretting myself that I bought this crap at this time..
I spent all that money just for this "super-fast" 4g speed and its not working!
It's been about a month since I bought Thunderbolt and during the first 2 weeks,
the 4g worked just fine as it was advertised, always showing over 20 mbps when I run Speedtest.

But now I'm stuck here just only for a google search result to come up
watching the loading bar staying only minimum (1/10??) filled for 5,6 minutes and end up saying "Website not available".. :icon_evil:
I ran the Speedtest and now I hardly ever get it over 10 mbps
(just around 2,3 mbps)

I'm living in OC California, but I don't think this issue is not really dependent to my current location because it happens every single place I try!!!

I did update to the new radio that was given out recently,
and it actually made the problem worse..

Is anyone going through or gone through the same problem here??

I wish I could get some solutions out by sharing these issues in forums..

I was having the issue when using Google as my search engine. Tried Bing and it works fine. I have no idea why though.

I just found out that my radio was not a recent one (1.39.00.0408r???)
so I downloaded the recent one (1.39.00.0508w) and flashed it.

And now.. it got even worse..
The problem now is not just the 4g network,
The phone cannot read my touches in selections
so I have to push it at least more than once to get my phone to read it...

It still says 4G LTE on the notification bar,
but now it takes at least 2,3 minutes to download an app from the market..

Any help plz???

I checked my radio(baseband) it is 1.16.00.0402w_1

wait.. lol

I'm confused here..

is that the RECENT one??

I found the radio on this thread

[Radio] [Leak] Official MR2 Radio 1.39.00.0508w, 0.01.69.0510w_3 - xda-developers

My understanding is that is a leaked radio for gingerbread. Is your phone stock or are you rooted?

Yes my phone is rooted
and I read the android version is 2.3.4 in the "About phone"

 

[bdsaur]

Ok. My phone is still on stock so that's why I have the older radio.

Would getting unrooted back to stock be the solution??

 

[bdsaur]

I was rooted had some issues with gps , I went back to stock and have been running smooth since. I'm in San Diego , 4G has been good.

Ok

I did unroot back to stock
nothing seemed to have changed for first couple of hours,
but now everything is back to nearly what i expected..

Speedtest results are pulled up to 9~10 mbps (which is because my home area has no good reception somehow.. but I believe it would go way higher when im somewhere else )

except for Google website is not available for some reason..
but everywhere else works tho

So I'm good!!
Thanks

That's my problem, why would Google not work on and Android phone? It sounds like an oxymoron. I have tried everything. Does anyone know the cause of this?

Google Search and Google map seemed not working,
but it actually did work, you know.. But it was still super slow.. :/

I tried searching random stuffs and let it sit there and do its thing while I was
doing something else, and about 5 minutes later, it showed its full results..

Same thing for Google map.
I ran the app and it said "loading.." which took way longer than usual,
but after 5,6 minutes, it showed everything that it needs to.

Now I don't understand why it is so slow even when I get like 13 mbps on speedtest..

Oh for god sake why is that my thunderbolt is now running on 4g way slower
than my previous phone Ally which ran on 3g.. WTF
