1 edit | Verizon Wireless 4G Outage - Feb 22, 2012 Looks like this may very well have been one of those short-term software glitches you mentioned, as my 4G just came back online.
Regarding the 3G service while 4G was out, it took about 10 minutes (or so) for my Razr to revert to 3G each time I rebooted my phone.

kudos:1 | Re: Verizon Wireless 4G Outage - Feb 22, 2012 you should be able to change it to 3G only in the system settings. | |

Saint Paul, MN | Re: Verizon Wireless 4G Outage - Feb 22, 2012 Acknowledged.
The signal indicator would show 3G with bars in white, but no data connection could be made. Assumed manually switching would be futile.

OpenBSD, HPUX, Solaris, even Linux would be much more rugged. | |

kudos:3 | Re: Heh... I believe your right about the 3G customers only. I also believe it's pretty high cap to start throttling or it was the top 1-2% of users that got throttled. It's not like TMobile throttling policy that's at set size. | |
|
| | | Or perhaps it is the non-standard setup Verizon had to use to bridge CDMA to LTE, as LTE was designed as the upgrade for UMTS systems. Albiet AT&T's LTE network is smaller, it has yet to have a single outage. I have read several articles that seem to point to it being more to do with CDMA and the handoff. | |
|
| | 3G and Voice down, 4G up Its funny, here in Baltimore MD the 4G service has been fine, 3G and Voice have been up and down but mostly down. All the idiots on the phone can tell me is that the 4G is the problem with no explanation as to why its been rock solid all morning.
Verizon really needs to get their act together on these major issues with there service, there is no excuse for there continued expansion of 4G if they cant make the dam thing work reliably. | |

Hamilton, MI | 3G was out all morning here in west MI 3g was affected. I had no data signal all morning.
I restarted my device (Samsun LTE phone) a few times and it failed to connect to 3G data at all untill it finally connected around 10:30 AM.
I do not have a 4G signal at home. | |

| For all those AT&T fans: Would you rather have a fast car that always starts that you can never take out of the garage? Or a slightly slower car that occasionally needs a minute before it starts that you can take anywhere?
I actually leave my home so I'll take the car that I can take anywhere. | |

| | . Verizon needs to get it together... 3g and 4g are both out in slc , have been for about 2 hours. Of course maybe an unknown new type of phone is updating rightnow and putting stress onto their network- same thing happened with the droid charge. | |

| 3G loss I don't have 4G yet but my tower has the backhaul for it since a tornado took it out last spring but my 3G service from that tower has been hit and miss since Saturday. This morning my phone and hotspot have both jumped back to getting a good signal. I thought the problem was an update I did on my hotspot because it started then so I ordered an amp this morning, guess I will have a really good signal now, LOL. I just had a sweet spot inside the house to use my phone and hotspot anyhow so this will free me up to get a decent signal elsewhere in the house.

| | Outage Options Hello.....Hello.... Can You hear me now? To all you LTE phone owners, the CDMA network is still up and operational. hehehe | |
|
| | | Re: Outage Options That all depends on where you are, if you read up you would have learned that CDMA was DOWN in Baltimore earlier today yet LTE was fine. That said all is back to normal as of 11am. | |

| | | Not at 8:36am it didn't. Issue was resolved around 11:30am | |
|
| | more than just this morning... LTE's availability in the Phoenix area has been iffy since yesterday morning. Good thing I carry a backup hotspot on another carrier or I'd have been sunk - the Thunderbolt I'm paying full price to beta test was only getting 1X most of the time. | |

Saint Clair Shores, MI | Maybe it's time for slogan change From their website:
"
Why Verizon?
Our Network. Your Power.
From surfing the web to watching movies. From getting social with friends to sharing pics or playing games. Verizon gives you the power to do it all, all on the largest high-speed wireless network in America. That's how Verizon helps you connect to the things that matter most." All this on the nations largest non-working network.

Phoenix, AZ | The reason why switching to 3g works Native 3G (EVDO/HRPD) and Hybrid 3G/4G (LTE/eHRPD) are seperate technologies. As long as the eHRPD system is up and running, you can switch between the two towers without an issue. When eHRPD goes down or stops responding in a predictable manner, your phone continues to try over and over on the preferred network, which is LTE. If you are in 4G mode and eHRPD is down, it's down on both networks, 3G and 4G, so even if you do "roll back to 3G" you'd never know it.
If you configure your phone to CDMA Only or 3G only (labeled differently on different phones) your phone begins to use the old HRPD system, slower, but tried and true.
A reason that you'll not have similar problems with AT&T's LTE is that their 3G (or 3G+/4G non LTE) is actually natively compatible with the LTE.. You don't have this extra underlying layer to do down.
As to the users which Karl was reporting were having issues with 3G, I'm wondering if it was issues with the 3G network, or issues with expecting 3G rollback.
A decent document (with pictures) to explain this is here:

1 edit | Re: The reason why switching to 3g works Hmmm... Interesting. Are you normally able to use 3G service?
When I got my first LTE phone, the Thunderbolt, the activation process was messed up so that it wiped the 3G data access codes from my account, which was reflected in My Verizon. When I would drive out of LTE coverage, I would have no data. | |

Princeton, MA | 4G back up last night in Central MA I am in an area where I have no high speed internet options except Satellite or Verizon Wireless LTE (still no AT&T 4G). I have a home antenna+amplifier to reach a cell tower 4.2mi away. No connection yesterday from early AM until around 5pm - was on/off for a while and stabilized around 9pm. LTE is still young so I expect hiccups, I just wish I hadn't spent hours diagnosing my equipment and cradlepoint router trying to find the problem. The killer for me was that pulling the UML290 from the router and plugging into a laptop did get me connected, but that was largely a red herring, I think connections could be made intermittently but the network was still unusable and would soon result in disconnect. I learned my lesson, don't rule out a network issue when dealing with Verizon 4G LTE at this point. I back up now though and quite happy with the network performance now. | |
