Ok, I have a wonderful question for the technologically curious amongst us.
I have noticed, since the last few days (maybe a week or two), that I can only get data on the 4G network.
I initially thought it was a PRL version issue, but I have tested this with 3 different PRLs (3019, 3020 and 3024) and have the same behavior. So I'm starting to think it might be my phone
But here's the thing: While I can use CDMA-voice, since I can still call and receive phone calls, I am reluctant to believe my CDMA radio is fried.
However, no matter what I do, I cannot get that little 1x or the 3G icon to pop up on my phone!
If I use CDMA-only mode in LTEETL, then I can call+text people, but I have NO data connection.
If my selected Nw is GLOBAL, then I can only access data if I am on 4g. If I turn of 4g using the LTE functionality test, than my data goes away until I turn 4g back on (!?).
This is leading me to believe that CDMA-voice and CDMA-data are two different radios (or radio parts?).
While this would mean there is good news for some (possiblity of having voice and data at the same time, while on CDMA) via software changes, it would just confirm, in my case, that my phone's CDMA radio is now defective.
Otherwise, it would mean my theory is wrong about why I cannot get CDMA-provided data connection on my phone. But then, what would explain the behavior I am seeing?
Well, with this, I turn to you, for enlightenment.
