I had my Commando 4G set up and running sweet. It came Fedex Friday morning. I opened the box and plugged the charger in and went about my day. When I got home and the phone was fully charged I activated it without issue. The 4G was snappy and noticeably faster than 3G. The phone is a HUGE improvement over the original Commando.
I used it all day Saturday and it was 100% 4G connection. Wireless worked great and no connection issues or hardware problems. I spent the afternoon turning off all the crap I could thru the app manager ( Verizon). I put the phone on the charger Saturday night and Sunday morning it woke up and was running fine. Its sometime around mid day my 4G connection was dropped. I could not connect back to 4G service no matter what I did on my end.
Switch network from "Global" to CDMA / LTE
Reboot
Battery pull / reboot
Remove and re-insert SIM card.
I ended up calling Verizon and they walked me thru everything I just mentioned with no fix. They said it was likely a bad SIM card so I went to the closest Vz store and swapped it. Its been fine now for most of the day.
Do SIM cards just "go bad" or is it something else ???
I see the network likes to default back to "Global" which has more radio's running. Does CDMA / LTE network mode save battery life ???
