Help 4G issues

Not sure if anyone else is having a problem with 4G today. I was fine this morning and now I cannot do anything on 4G. Looks like it is trying to connect to 4G but cannot. I force it into 3G and all is fine.

A couple of weeks ago I was losing 4G all day and read to pull the SIM card as there is an issue with how VZW SIMs connect to the data network. Seemed to fix that issue and now I cannot get 4G to work.
 
Do you happen to have words with friends installed on your phone? I was having major connection issues and started uninstalling apps until it became stable again. I can't say it definitely was that particular app but once I removed it, my issues went away.
 
I do have that app installed.

Funny thing is little by little the 4G service came back last night and I have been fine since. It is really weird.
 
I had some Google store free app for widgets downloaded and suddenly was receiving spam offers in my phone announcements area (not messages and no phone/email)
deleted the thing and they went away
 
After messing around deleting apps, I thought it was words with friends but the problem came back. I reset the phone and that didn't help either. Finally took it to Verizon and got a new SIM card. It has worked since then. Hope this is the fix.
 
I'm having 4G problems in Maine. It just stops working...the 4G LTE icon in the notification bar just freezes with the uplink arrow displaying, and not the down arrow. Been like this since yesterday, with intermittent bursts of working 4G. I had to put my phone back into 3G to get reliable service.
 
Lucky you guys. I have a 4G phone in a 3G only area... but I hear we'll be getting 4G two months after Hell freezes over >.<

break out your ice skates, the big freeze might be coming soon. Considering we finally got ICS, the ice may be forming in your area soon.

For what it's worth, I recently got the 4g upgrade and I have to say that your not missing out on much. 3g on the rezound really runs fast, our phones have some nice hardware inside it making 3g almost feel like 4g service..... or so I think.
 
LOL... Yeah, I have been hearing about 4G here like the Rezound has been hearing about ICS... From manager at corporate Verizon Store: will get it by Labor Day (last year), then it was by Christmas, then by the end of first quarter 2012, then by end of June, and now he says by end of summer. Typical VZW, I expect it last quarter of 2014 at this rate. :)
 
I guess it depends on area, I was just on vacation in a 3g area but speedtest showed over 2 mb down. If I had that at home I would of stuck with incredible, our 3g is lucky to hit 200kbs, 4g is 5-10 but if you have solid 3g save your battery :-) with 4g off it seemed like this phone lasted forever on a charge.
