FIX for 1X DATA

[spazma7ik]

-Go to the ThunderBolt's phone dialer. Enter ##778# and hit Send.
-You'll get a pop-up labeled EPST, with the choice to "View Mode" or "Edit Mode." --You want "Edit Mode."
-You'll be asked for a password. It's 000000.
-Now flip down to "Modem Settings," and then choose "Rev. A."
-Change the setting from eHRPD to "Enable," hit OK, then press the Menu button on the phone and tap "Commit Modifications."


This gave me 3G back, hopefully works for others.

Oh you saw the giant chicken?

how do you get 4g back when it's available?

Same thing, only backwards.
The trick is to know when 4G is back up again I guess!

Update
I guess we will see it here. http://twitter.com/#!/verizonwireless

I did this and am still stuck at 1x. UGH

 

[toothdoc4]

I did this and I am stuck in Airplane Mode.:'(

I did this and had 3g for about 20 minutes before I lost connection all together.

Put the settings back and just sticking to 1x.

I woudln't attempt this. A data team rep is suggesting folks not to manually turn off 4G as that will create authentication issues. He said it's best to leave the phone the way it is and allow it to receive the fix once 4g is up and running.

This method does work but one thing to know is that it will turn off the ability to do voice and internet at the same time until you switch it back.

yep this method does work.

and to the poster who said the rep told them this would cause authentication issues... I have done this switch probably 10 times without an issue.

Looks like Big Red are on their way to fixing it.

Per Twitter
"We have determined cause of 4G LTE issue & are working with major vendors to restore connections. Details as they come."

I'm all for playing safe, same as tjubb. I have been cautioned by several different Verizon tech guys to simply wait. I am not so impatient that I can't suffer with 1X until Verizon gets their act together and has 4G working properly.

LTE is back up in Chicago at least.
