Is it me or Verizon?

I'm not getting anything better than 3g since 10pm last night. I'm in phoenix Arizona. I flashed ROMs last night, to thunderstick's latest. Did that have anything to do with it?

As of 8:36am Pacific Time, the San Jose / Silicon Valley area I am at 4G without issues. I am running i-Kream

I've tried liquid smooth, bamf, cm 7 and upgraded radios on cm7. Still the same. Could a ROM flash cause this?

3 g in Tempe and Scottsdale. I'm on Liquid 3.2 and mr3 radio.

I'm sure you've messed with the network settings and pulled the SIM?

You have to install the latest Minimalistic Kernel MR4 from because ThunderStick is built from the unofficial MR4 rom that wasn't made for Verizon's TB... Install the MR4 kernal and you should be good..

I went back to cm7, do I need to go back to thunderstick and then flash this? What are exact steps on this?

Install the rom and then install the Kernel and this will resolve the 4G radio issue... You can try the stock MR4 radio also but the Lean one I posted gets better battery life and supports overclocking... I prefer the performance from the lean one but its your choice..

Oh I forget to point out the reason you should use the Lean kernel because I think the stock one also had the 4G issue because it wasn't from a Verizon rom..

Ok. Once I do that, if I decide to go back to cm7, will I have the same problem, or is this a full fix? I had cm7 beforecthe upgrade and had full 4g. What got changed that it messed with my phone?

Jackmei - I used thinderstick's 2/26 release, decided I didn't like it and went back to cm7. Couldn't get 4gback after that. I haven't done anything with the fix suggested yet.

Jackmei - I have the radio fixes on cm7, its not helping. I'm going to try the other suggested fix this afternoon.

Found the fix. Networks needed to be changed to cdma + lte auto. 4g is back!!!

Yes, it is the default, but it never got changed before. I've honestly never had the problem before. I've tried BAMF, Gingeritis, MIUI, Thunderstick, Thundershed, Liquid smooth, CM7 and a few others and never had to manually change that setting before. I was just hunting around my network settings and noticed that it had been changed in Thunderstick from CDMA + LTE Auto to CDMA + EvDo. I changed it back to CDMA + LTE and got it working.

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions. I'm glad I learned about this today.
