    Default No longer getting 3g, what should I do?

    Last night I totally lost my 3g connection/icon gone
    and haven't been able to get it back :/

    things i've tried:
    - removed battery/sim
    - checked battery door
    - flashed to previous rom backups
    - power cycled radio
    - checked radio in cdma auto prl
    - flashed mr2 radio again through hboot

    and still nothing.
    - my signal bar shows 2-3 bars and at one point
    I had 3g icon flash for a split second then went away again

    what would be my next step? I'm rooted running
    a GBdebloat rom.

    - before bringing it into verizon to troubleshoot
    should I unroot/flash stock rom?

    Good luck getting Verizon to help you out! Might want to post this in the root sections of the forum.

    Try Menu/Settings/Accounts&sinc. Make sure background data is checked
    If is already checked, try unchecking, then recheck

    so I got everything figured out now.....
    hopefully everything stays working. I'm really not sure what the deal was.

    I was on the phone w/ tech support for about an hr troubleshooting
    then after that still was not able to get 3g connection.

    Rep told me to go in store and try out a new sim card - so i did
    - I got the sim card changed out, it was working while I was in there
    and then the 3g went away again.

    - I went back they checked it out again and the rep ended up going
    on to droidforums lol and printed out the directions to toggle on/off 4g
    *#*#4464#*#* ..... for me to do because she was not "allowed" to do the
    programming.

    after I did that I set radio to "cdma auto prl" and 3g appeared again.
    geeez.. bottom line i'm glad I was able to get the issue resolved w/out
    having to go through and getting a replacement.

    I'm glad you were able to get the issue resolved too. As many times as that "fix" has been discussed here on AC it never occurred to me that you had not tried it yet

    crazy thing was is that the rom I was using had that built in so before
    i even took it to the store I did toggle on/off radio that way as well
    as doing it manually w/ the code above and it still did not work.

    i'll update again if the issue happens again. hopefully the steps I took
    helps someone else out here.
