Help Droid 4 Flashed to Page Plus (3G) Keeps Losing 3G Data

[JahmezzT]

So I have a Verizon Droid 4 that is running Android 4.1.2 (Un-Rooted). I have had it fully flashed over to Page Plus (Phone and Data) so the data that I have to currently use is 3G vs. 4G LTE.

Last Tuesday I noticed that my 3G Data had stopped working. No biggie I thought, I just turned my phone off and back on. 3G back…but only for about 14 minutes. After 14 minutes the data disconnected. At this point I am a little concerned. I attempt a few different avenues to restart the data, Airplane Mode On/Off. I’ve done a Data On/Off, Hard Reset, Safe Mode Start, turning off Wi-Fi and starting…same results. The phone turns on and the 3G data lasts about 14 minutes and then it disconnects.

Wi-Fi works, Phone and Text Work (except for MMS).

Here goes a brief list of things I have tried ( I have not attempted a Factory Reset, that is one of my last resorts; I have Wi-Fi most places so I can manage or I just reboot my phone when I need data). I have done the following:

• Resetting the Phone by Holding down Power Button For 10 Seconds or until phone cuts off
• Hard Reset by holding down Volume Down Button for 10 Seconds or until phone cuts off
• Powering Off and turning back on
• Restarting Phone in Safe Mode
• Resetting APN to Default Settings
• Turning ‘Data enabled’ off and back on (Settings -> Wireless & Networks --> More -> More -> Mobile Networks
• Turning ‘Mobile data’ off and back on (Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Data usage)
• Confirmed Network is set to CDMA/LTE
• Airplane Mode Off/On

Someone mentioned that this may be a hardware issue. Not sure about that, but any info that I might be able to get would be helpful.

Thanks!

I see you done everything but something that is called BUILD.PROP . did you edit the prop if not everything isn't done . now what did you flash from gsm or it was a CDMA already .

Hey BRAINZ2013, thanks for the reply! No I haven't done the BUILD.PROP. I have no idea what that is either so any info on that could be good. My Droid was CDMA already

Look at this I know build.prop needs the edit cause I flashed a bionic to gsm from CDMA and prop was needed .

I'll look into this, because my phone was initially a CDMA not a GSM phone and it worked fine for almost 3 months since I had it flashed before I had the issue.

Yes either one needs the edit cause it was another carrier . did you do the manual programming from the carrier with the mdn and sid .

I am not totally sure, I had a friend who is an authorized Page Plus Dealer do the flash.

could be a bad sim card, or it's not inserted completely.

Only Guide I know of is Droid RAZR/MAXX JellyBean OTA Activation TXT MMS 3G ROOT TETHERING on PagePlus
obviously not written for Droid 4, but has been reported to work by many, just use Droid 4 firmware (step 1), all the radio setting are the same as Razr
