TB is Stuck on 1x since 11pm tonight in NYC

Same in OKC. No 3G or 4G. All the Apple devices in the store still have 3G.

<edit> xda fix applied and now 3G is back.

Of course all of those Apple devices still had 3G. Those devices, among every other non-4G (Thunderbolt) device runs on a different 3G radio than the Thunderbolt.

So no, this isn't an Apple supremacy thing. Not saying that you were going that direction, but just wanted to point that out.

With the Droid Charge coming tomorrow and the infamous OTA in the works... I think this was planned. They probably made some changes that could only be done while the network was down... thats my grassy knoll theory!


No way....this long of an outage is a straight screw up. Maybe if it was down from say last night at 11pm and then came back on at 7am this morning...that I could understand! But something this long is not good, and I would think a lot of people agree with me when I say....I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come with VZW's 4G.

Every carrier has its outages. I ran in to one while with AT&T and couldnt make a call for over a day. Look at how many times blackberry went down. Atleast with verizon you can still get 3g working on the bolt.

I'm not convinced this is only a thunderbolt issue. I am in a 3g only area and I have 1x only. Also my wife's droid1 is stuck on 1x or nothing at all.
my wifes devour is on 3g and I did the XDA thing on my bolt and its on 3g again. So its not the whole system. As others have chimed in and said other people that had regular 3g phones are still on 3g. I know with my D1 where I live I am almost on the fringe and it switches to 1x at times.

Yea a reboot fixed my wife's d1. My bolt is still bonked lol. Anyone else having issues in a 3g only area?

I'm in a 3G only area and my wife's Ally has had full 3G the whole time. I had to use the fix from XDA to get mine back. Even though it says 3G it still doesn't seem as fast as it was on 3G before the outage, i.e. last night.
