Network Problems?

[NeutralNovice]

UPDATE

Hey again,

I just contacted Verizon Technical Support.

I was informed that there currently is a 4G outage for many Verizon customers nationwide. I'm receiving the same issue on both my 4G devices (Phone & USB) and the rep also said that there is currently no estimated time for a resolution.

This sucks, but it's okay for now Hopefully this issue will be resolved within the next few hours.


Location: San Francisco Bay Area
Issue Began: Around 1500 PST, March 23, 2011

Just called Verizon tech support. he said they are having sporadic problems with the network in the northeast. its importance that people call verizon and report the problem so they can get a handle on it. As of now it is not super wide spread, he said.

Problems in SanJose,CA as well. All the way up to hayward where I work. It's terrible at work though. Right now I have full 4G and it drops to one bar in the blink of an eye. My signal is so horrible at work I have to keep my TBolt plugged in at my desk so I can make it through the day. I called VZW and talked to their tier2 techs about the problem. They say hayward is a 4G area but I don't understand how the coverage is so sporadic. They gave me a claim ticket and said that their engineers will start looking into the issue right away as the device isnt even a week old. The tech said he would get back to me within 24-48hrs. We'll see what happens. I think we're all waiting for consistent 4G coverage. There needs to be a toggle widget

I'm in Baltimore and I don't have any connection at all right now. I just tried to get on the Facebook app and it told me I don't have a connection.

I started to experience the same thing today, dropping 4G down to 3G and 1X.. strange thing, my wife's TB is still showing 4G--- In Chicago

When I try to use the web or any web based apps. I get the same error. Remind me why I pay for a data package again? LOL. I don't receive email either

For real lol. Well now I do have a 1X connection so I guess that's better than nothing.

Having the same thing here in southeast michigan.

It must be an east of the Mississippi and west of the Rockies thing.

Yesterday it seemed like I had a signal improvement. I had consistent 3G, today it varies from 1X to nothing. Browser runs slow or I get a connection error. I have the network setting at 3G only.

Same here. what is weird for me though, is that i live both in a good 4g and 3g area. but the TB doesn't automatically switch over to 3g. 4g disappears all together. I wonder if its a mix of both, TB not switching networks properly and VZW having issues. Also how to people see having 3-4 bars on 4g? aren't the bars for call signal strength?

Mine has been back to normal for the last few hours but about 30min ago it started acting up again. As of right now its seems to be working... for now

Same issue here in Houston, TX. Mine started this morning when I booted the phone up ('No connection' on FB, etc). It's been flipping from 1X to 3G (even 1X took a while to find). Note that I've had consistent 4G (4 bars) since I got the phone until this morning's issues.

Well there goes that east of the Mississippi and west of the Rockies theory. It's still odd though, I've yet to have issues.

Called vzw and they said LTE was down for their data devices but shouldn't effect phones. I wasn't going to argue with him, but it seems that if it doesn't work for data devices, it shouldn't work for phones either as they both use sims.

First time I've had any issues with 4G. Was good with LTE around 730, but have dropped from 3G to 1X throughout the morning. Glad to see it's not just me alone having signal trouble.

In New York City, btw.

Maybe they still haven't gotten the memo that the Thunderbolt is already out to consumers.

same problem here in NJ.

was working fine until today. network issues FTL!

Maybe they were told something like data services were down but not call service and couldn't quite grasp the nuances.

Anway, we've only got 1x here in Princeton, too.
