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

For those of you claiming a $10 credit offered... I just called and tactfully complained... The lady at Verizon said that they could divide my monthly rate by 30 and offer me that since it has only been out for a day... I reminded her that we don't know how long it will be out yet, but no extra help... Any ideas or are you guys stretching the truth.

Same here in NYC...9PM,,, Almost 24 hours later since this started and still no 4G! I have to say this is such a bad look for Verizon...And all this with the Droid Charge Launch tomorrow...
 
my battery life has been amazing today. under normal usage with 4g i'd be around 20% left by now, instead i'm at 46% with 13hrs off the charger. using the phone the same way i did on mon and tues. being in 1x all day has made a significant difference in battery life in my case.

also made it clearer to me that not including the option for a 4g toggle was a huge gaffe by vzw imo. htc could definitely have done it since they did for the evo. vzw making the call not to include it is almost criminal.
 
I'm in a 3g only area. I have been on 1x as of last night as well. My daughters phone has stayed on 3g the entire time.......

Criminal? Drama Queen, LTEonoff is available in the android market for free. It was out shortly after the phone came out and the phone always had the switch to turn off data - basically going to the 1X you experienced today.
 
How long can it take Verizon to fix this? Going on almost 24 hours. In the last 10 years, I've never noticed any carrier's cell phone service being out more than a few minutes.

Nationwide 3G outage for 24 hours? Doesn't seem that Verizon is working very hard on it. Maybe they're getting ready to turn on LTE everywhere....

Ya right.

Update: I guess I complained too soon. Turned off WiFi and I now have 3G again. No 4G in my area yet.

Cell phone service is not affected. And 3g is not down, only the 4g. Read through this thread and you'll find several links on how to turn on 3g in your tbolt.
 
4G is back for me in Phoenix! Heck yeah, time to switch my 3G back to the original settings.
 
I just checked to see if they fixed it yet with the ##778# to put it back and still on 1x. SO I put it back to have normal 3g. As long as I can manually configure the 3g I am not to worried about it. I am sure they will get it fixed and who knows maybe they found a problem with the charge or better yet maybe someone turned on a charge and crashed the network lol.

I just called and did the same thing. I nicely said I was upset and she immediately said she would credit me for the data charge. After she processed it, I asked her how much it was and she said she took the $29.99 amount and divided by 30, so it would be .99 but she rounded up to $1. Woohoo! Anyway, she said is this continues another day to call again and get another whole $1. If this stays down long enough, I'll have free data.....oh wait...at 1X. Oh well.

my rom gives me the ability to toggle 4g from within the settings. there still isn't a widget to toggle 4g. many users don't know a toggle app is available. i would expect it to be in the settings or have a widget like the evo. vzw is clearly making it difficult for the end user to control 4g settings. most tb owners aren't on xda or androidforums where tips to manage 4g and battery life are easy to find.

If they can't figure out how to use google to find info on their phone or smart enough to think about it, maybe they shouldn't have an android phone to begin with. Not trying to be rude but it's the truth.
