4G-No Signal-No MR2 Solution?

[dccapo]

Hello All,

Just wondering if anyone knew of a solution to the 4G/3G to no signal problem, without updating to the MR2 or rooting?
In other words, I haven't updated my TB to the most recent Verizon update, nor have I rooted my phone. The reboots have stopped (I might get one a week...for some reason, usually on Sunday), and I'm still using the Hotspot under my initial unlimited plan. So, I'm just trying to avoid updating to MR2 and/or rooting (atleast for now).

If so... could you forward me to a link?

You could try pulling your battery and sliding the SIM card out for 5-10 minutes to let the phone reset itself but if you really want to fix the phone, you should probably install the update.

pull sim and let phone sit for 5 minutes, then insert sim and battery. That may help.

Tried the sim card /battery pull, but it did not work. Still had a radio drop after a couple of hours.

Well you could try and have Verizon replace your phone but they will most likely have you install the most recent update and try a factory reset first. I never had radio problems with original or MR1 set-up so you may have a bad unit. Is having a half-working phone really worth stealing Mobile Hotspot? Guess thats what you need to ask yourself. If it is, then keep it...if not, try updating it then getting a replacement if that doesn't fix it.

Edit: You could also try the MR2 that was leaked in June, it should install since you arent on MR2 yet. I dont think you'd lose mobile hotspot but its no guarantee. It will erase your phone though when you install it so it'll be like doing a factory reset.

not much else you can do if you don't root and don't install mr2.

I have the leaked mr2 and I still get the 3g/4g to no data issue so I can't really say that would help you either. Plus it will make you lose the hotspot (at least it did for me). I would also like to get this fixed as it is really making me dislike the thunderbolt right now, as it just started getting bad in the last 2 weeks.

Thanx guys...

I thought that there may had been a batch or a fix available for the issue. Right now, I think that I can deal with the periodic radio drop, vs re-upping my Mobile Hotspot.

for the majority of people, the mr2 helped. though, there is a small group in which the mr2 did not help. If you still have problems, you can try a factory reset and if that doesn't work, call vzw for clnr. (factory reset probably won't help much, but Verizon will ask you to do it before sending a clnr)
