So im really not sure.. Baseically the m7 switches from lte to 3g after awhile and never switches back even on stock rom
Ive flashed stock and factory it, still didnt fix
Ive flashed original radios and rom, still nothing
Ive called verizon they have "refreshed" my connection.. Still no dice
Ive always gotten lte anywhere i went, just dont understand why its acting this way
Anything else to try?

I have been having the same issue. Did you get it resolved? I was thinking it was the sim card, was that the case?

I will request a new sim, the lady said it wasnt the sim..well now im going to demand one, thankyou
Editt New sim is on the way

Try turning off your data, turning on airplane mode, then turning data back on and turning off airplane mode. That normally works for me. It gets the phone to rescan for towers, and it switches back over to 4G.
If the new SIM works let me know, I might have to try that.

It could also just be a weak 4G signal. Notice how Verizon likes to brag about their coverage but not speed; that's because they put up a few antennas every few miles and run them at high power. The LTE network just isn't as dense as 3G, so you have these signal gaps everywhere where the phone is on the border line between 3G and 4G. AT&T and T-Mobile stomp all over Verizon's 4G where they have coverage.

For some reason lately I've been getting only Edge in my area when normally I get extremely solid H+. I don't know if my phone is acting up (completely stock on 4.1.2) or if AT&T may be upgrading their network in my area, possibly adding LTE. Any ideas why?

Let us know if it doesnt work. It happens. If youre getting it a lot. Thats not usual. Or if it happens in your house fron 4g down to edge. It could be an issue with your tower. Or location. Maybe the tower is overloaded and they kick you to another?
This has happened to me once on this phone. And it was on either stock rom or blackout. Cant remember
Sent from GN2 using XDA app
Well where I work I get full signal. Averaging 10 Mbps down on H+. But recently I've only been getting Edge. It could very well be what you said about too many users on one tower. I'll try tomorrow and let you know.

A few months ago when I had my Galaxy S3 I got this problem out of nowhere. I never found a solution even tho I tried going back to stock and several other "fixes". Ended up having to send the phone back and getting another one. Idk if the antenna went bad or what but even on Edge it was unresonble slow
Well I couldn't hold myself back the other night and I flashed Jedi X. Haha. Having no data issues now.

I'm forced to use HSPDA due to the LTE network being overloaded here in SoCal.
Funny thing is, with LTE on, I avg about 3down/10up....with HSPDA, I get roughly 6down/1up. Quite frankly, I care more about download than upload anyway so it's actually better for me
I recently rooted my GS3 and i have been trying to figure out how to force 3g service on it any help? since i can only pick up 4g in certain areas im tired of the EDGE 2G.
Im pretty sure you cant, seeing as hspa+ is still technically 3G or WCDMA. So I think your stuck with Edge for now... Until T-Mobile does more service upgrades in your area... Don't worry, I get crappy service wherever I go, and I have the worst service here at home... Should have went with Sprint...

You could try, but AT&T uses the same thing "HSPA+" which is really 3G, but they still call it 4G, and that's what would show up on your status bar (it would still say 4G), so I don't know if that'll work... You can give it a try though. I'm actually going try it our right now, and see how it works. I'll keep you posted. :good:
Have that issue too and don't count on them upgrading anything anytime soon. Just wait till your contract is up and make that switch

I guess you can take the 4G plan off your phone and be throttled down to 3G speed... That's it.
has anyone had the issue where their phone won't connect back to 3g data?
when I reboot my phone 3g will work until wifi kicks in. after I turn wifi off 3g comes back, I can call and text but will not download any data.
I have tried Odin back to stock. wiped everything including recovery. I have tried flashing every combination of modems and kernels. all same.
however one thing I will note. I have not been able to get a successful modem flashed in Odin. it keeps failing. so I flash in twrp.
I also wiped the activation data via ##732# or something like that. had sprint reactivate my phone too..
perhaps someone could shed some light on this?

I just got my Note 2 like 5 days ago and mine does the same thing. Its very annoying and its gonna be exchanged today for that and other reasons.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
hmm. I wonder if it's network related..
is your phone stock?
-Wizzle
Okay here is the skinny. It is network related. My wife's stock s3 does the same thing. If you are in an area without lte and your phone under mobile settings is selected to lte/evdo/cdma it will connect to ephrd13. Which is enhanced 3g. When you come off wifi or a phone call sometime it will not reconnect. You can toggle data a few times and it will reconnect.
To solve this issue, under mobile settings I select evdo only setting being that I do not have lte in my area. There is no change in speed between the 2 3g networks.
This info is from self diagnosing the rooted note 2, a stock photon, and a stock s3.
I have had sprint reset the phones as well as the ##data# trick.

When I say evdo only I meant cdma only. Ehrpd13 is the handshaking 3g for lte. Some areas have lte in the towers but no ehrpd13 so the lte is not turned on yet. Basically ehrpd13 and lte are like cookies and cream lol.

The problem is my area does have it but at my house its very weak. My ohone wikl display 4g but it wont download anything untio it switches to 3g.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
When the 4g network matures as it will the 4g will get better as the 3g.
You can always go to I think s4gru.com. That site shows when and where lte will become available. Plus they will be able to help you better there than xda.
As for sprint customer service, they are laughable at best. 4 people I spoke with didn't know what ehrpd13 was lol.

Good Deal!:good::good::good:
I guess T-Mobile recently updated my tower to lte in past couple weeks. I'm rocking some great speeds, but when I get a phone call it drops the lte and goes back to 4g.
It stays in 4g after I get off the phone and doesn't come back. I have restarted... gone in and out of flight mode. Nothing... when I leave the area and come back or wake up in the morning... then I get lte back again.
Any idea on this?
I'm rooted, stock, wanam, uninstalled knox and carrier iq btw.
Thanks for any assistance

You can't make phone calls on LTE yet with T-Mobile. Thats why it drops to 4g(HSPA+) which allows calls. Not sure why it would not go back to LTE, maybe a sim card problem or a phone problem. I do not have any problems with going from 4g to LTE after calls. I have wanam, no knox, and no carrier iq as well. Are you on stock rom or a moded stock rom. Have you just removed knox and carrirer iq on stock rom?
I'm stock. It could actually be a SIM card issue. I'm using the same SIM card I had from my old galaxy s. I had to cut it to fit the note. Hmmm.. I think that's as good as any place to start.
It could also just be this tower is finicky. Maybe it's not 100% up and running yet. Just wish it would lock onto lte after the call again. It's so choice having those speeds!
Thanks for the SIM suggestion. I'll let you know how it goes.

Is your lte connection stronger than your 4g connection. Because even though it may be faster it always goes with the most reliable connection.
If I know I have lte I just quickly go into dialer and change it to lte only and then back to lte/wcdma and it'll stick to lte afterwards

How do you change it to lte only from the dialer? Is there some sort of #* code? That might be just the temp fix I need.

Figured it out! Great trick... *#2263# ... select "LTE/GSM only".... then it connects to LTE.. do it a second time and select "Automatic" and the LTE sticks.

Couldnt one simply use 4G toggle app?
I tried toggling 4G... going into and out of flight mode... taking the battery out and restarting... going into GSM only and then back to auto select.. Nothing worked.
The method I described above apparently forces LTE only mode and somehow causes it to stick on LTE after going back to Automatic.
I've been doing it all day with great success. It would be nice if it automatic went back to LTE, but in the meantime this is a solution where there wasn't one before.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
It's because they just recently updated the tower. I was having the same issue in my area. I thought it was the phone and had it replaced. I finally spoke to someone at T-Mobile who knew what they were talking about. He said that it takes them months to tweak the tower until they get the optimum signal. Once that happens, you should go back to LTE after a call.
