Hi, my main phone is a Desire, but I am helping my brother set up his new Nexus One. I am very familiar with the OS, but am having problems getting Gmail to sync properly. For some reason, it only seems to sync when plugged in!
This is using WiFi and 3G connections. I have checked all the obvious settings (yes, WiFi is set not to sleep)
I have both phones unplugged, and send an email to each. The Desire gets it (the LED blinks right away) while the N1 doesn't. But as soon as I plug the N1 in, and the lock screen is unlocked, the email comes in.
There has to be something I am missing here! Please let me know if you have any ideas. Using the OTA 2.2 update, and LauncherPro, if that matters. Everything else is stock, since I just did a hard reset trying to figure out the issue.
Thanks!
Can anyone confirm whether this is a bug in the 2.2 firmware?

Definitely not. Sync works just fine for me.
I have no idea how I am going to troubleshoot this.. Any ideas?
OK it seems to sync fine on 3G, but not Wifi, when the screen is off. So even though we have WiFi set to never sleep, it is sleeping anyway it seems.
My hero seems like it should be headed for the trash. Over the past few days I have been noticing problems getting my gmail to sync, browsing the internet and looking up things in the marketplace. I am running stock 1.5 that was rooted. That is it. I have tried going to setting and updating profile then rebooting but doesnt seem to have solved the problem. I also just tried flashing cyanogenmod 6.1.0 release and I was unable to sign into my google account at startup??
The phone does show an internet connection. Opera browser doesnt appear to be having any issues, but any other app does... any advise would be great!
I'm having the exact same problem. I have no idea what to do, I've tried everything for 4 hours now. My internet is so sketchy. Everything from google maps losing connection, to facebook, to a weather widget I have not even getting the weather. Its insane
i'll take the phone to a dumb sprint rep if needed, but what about if they see FLIPZ_PRI and stuff on the phone because it has been rooted? There has to be something here to fix the problem?
If you figure it out let us all know because i am having the same problem. I have done just about everything i can think of. From reflashing roms to 5 different kernals and even different roms nothing helps.
Good luck
well if a lot of people are having the same problem doesnt that seem to sound like a sprint issue??? i have no idea what updating prls and profiles due, but something isnt right.
Been having similar issues myself. From what I've been reading it's a Google server issue which is why you can still browse the web etc... but still like the market isn't working correctly.
Don't take my word for it though...
Internet problems
I've had the same issue on and off all day. I first noticed youtube not working, then facebook and then voice. YouTube wasn't working for a few hours, facebook a few minutes and voice just got working again; all my problems started sometime this morning 10ish.
I'm running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0, 2.42.01.04.27 Baseband, 60670PRL and my kernel is Decad3nc #11
Sprint is currently havng 3G issues, Chicago looks to be fixed (maybe)
as of the last 30 minutes to an hour, all is right with the market and internet on my phone... "YAAAYYY... and there was much rejoicing".... we'll see if it holds
It's a google problem, nothing to do with the phone or the rom

Yeah, Chicago was fixed today. Yesterday I couldn't use Navigation because there wasn't a connection being made to Google's navigation servers.

Hello All,
I have been in battle with Verizon ever since I first got the service with my Thunderbolt. The internet would run for about 15 minutes and then drop connection even though everything said it had an internet connection. Verizon has had me change out the SIM card, reboot the phone, reset to factory, made sure that always on data was enabled. I have used multiple different tethering applications such as PDANet and EasyTether along with rooting my phone and installing wifi apps. (they don't know about the root). I have been through 4 thunderbolts, all had the same problem. Internet would run for about 15 minutes or less and then stop working. Verizon checked out the network and said everything was fine. I now have a LG Revolution and am having the same problems again. So I know its not a phone issue. I read on here that turning off voice privacy can possibly fix this problem. So I did. I pinged google and at 13 minutes into it started to fail. It would time out or if it did successfully ping the time it took was above 3000 ms. I have a 3G connection of -82dBm (4G currently turned off for trouble shooting purposes) and a 1x connection of -90dBm. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Verizon help is useless so im going to you guys who are much more knowledgeable than they are. I have also tried this on several different PCs. I have to reboot my phone to get the internet working properly again.
Sorry about the long post but its all information you guys need to know.
Thanks,

Phone calls are like this on my phone. Its a call dropping fool. But, the signal doesn't cause it, it doesn't change. I think its the software myself. I've run log cat, and all i see is a message that says there was a signal change. I dobt know if its an instantaneous thing that i cant see happen, or if its a crock of shinto.

but my problem isnt with calls being dropped. Its with my internet connection.
Right, but its still over the 3G network. People are having texting issues as well. I think its LG's radio software, is what im saying.
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA Premium App
i dont think it has to do with software because I had the same problem on four different thunderbolts. I also rooted it and tried multiple different roms and radios. So unless LG and HTC all use the same radios odds are thats not the problem.
Well, my Xoom runs fine on 3G,and it doesn't have a 4G radio yet. So I doubt it's Verizon.

I was thinking maybe there is something wrong with my account or sim card? The girl that set everything up originally was a complete and utter moron that did not know what what was doing.
temporary problems.
Earlier on when I got my phone I had intermittent connectivity issues, but toggling airplane mode on and off or a reboot usually fixed it...and for longer than 15 min, more like days. I'm in a 4G area now, but for about a month and a half only had 3G. Occasionally I still loose connectivity but both methods I just spoke of will fix it for the long term.
It seems very odd that it's not a widespread problem. It’s just so weird. I can stream several Netflix movies back to back without any breaks, even on 3G.

I run into this same problem while tethering whether on LTE or 3g. It runs great for a while, hours even, then all the sudden it will quit for anywhere from a minute to an hour or more. Sometimes a reboot will fix it. Interesting thing is I ran into the same problem with my old motorola droid. Make me lean towards this being an issue on verizon's end.
Does this occur when you are connected to wifi or only on 3G/1x? Have you tried testing in different locations with varying signal strengths?
Do you have the problem without root?
I'm wondering if this is an issue with your local network, meaning Verizon's network in your area. Since it happened on two different models and several phones, it would seem to indicate that it is an environment issue rather than a radio or other hardware problem.
I have a similar issue, but with text messages. I can send 3-5 text messages before it just chokes up. Then I have to reboot, or turn airplane mode on/off. Then I can send 3-5 text messages before it chokes again. I've done everything I can think of to isolate the problem, to no avail.
If anyone has a solution to his, please let me know. It's almost worse than not being able to make phone calls.
I also experience the Internet issue, but less frequently. It;s not my ROM, because I've used three different ROMs (including stock) and it was a problem on all of them. I saw on some other forum that it may be an issue generated by switching from a 3G phone to a 4G phone. If the VZW rep who setup your phone didn't do everything right, there's a "behind the scenes" setting that sometimes fails to get changed. The suggestion was to dial *611, describe the problem, and they should be able to fix it (though it may take 2-3 days).
I plan on trying this tomorrow, will let you know if I experience any changes. If anyone else has done this or wants to try it, post your results, and lets see if we can get this figured out.

Does not occur with wifi. Happens both at my house which has weak signal and also at my work about 20 miles away. At my work, the tower is practically in the parking lot.

This is almost certainly a VZW problem, whether they will acknowledge it or not is an open question. The only other things I can think of is a bad SIM card or incorrect programming of the SIM. The OP stated that Verizon swapped his out, so that leaves only the programming or the network.
Wish I had a better answer for you, bro.
My internet connection just started messing up with me today too. The internet will work fine with 4g and wifi but i get no internet connection with 3g only...
I have the exact same problem as the OP.
Really pisses me off. Want to throw vzw out the window and go back to a feature phone sometimes.
Vzw customer support is less than helpful. One will say your phones the problem, but why did I have the exact issue with my Incredible. Another will say its because I live in a fringe market area and we aren't really an important part of the network. WTF?
All I know is when I lived in Cincinnati everything worked fine. Moved up north and about 6 to 8 months later my service slowly starts sucking more and more to the point where I don't even bother looking up info on my Revo anymore.
I got my replacement LG Rev exactly one week ago to today. This one is all sorts of connection/rebooting issues.
Also unfortunately the update was already on my phone when I got, so no root for me
WiFI wont stay connected even if i'm 3ft from my router.
Phone will lose ALL signal and drop in to extend, and I'm only 1 mile from a strong 3g/4g tower.
Whenever i would pop it to airplane mode then back on, it would reboot.
I have 4 days before its been 1 month with this phone. I'm close to sending it back and getting the HTC TB or Droid 3.
In a test of patients I reset my phone to factory default, removed CWM and it updated to v6. I have to say the network connection was the most stable I have ever had it be but in turn the phone was not as smooth. Changing between screens had lag and was not as smooth as the original rom that shipped on the phone.
I have since down graded and re-rooted. The signal is not as stable either.
I was having same issue, especially with certain sites, including my own website for my business.
So far, what has fixed the issue, at least through Linux Network Settings, is setting the MTU to 1300. No other number has worked so great to date, but that seem to load everything and keep everything fast and quick with little issues.

EDIT: Upon further reading, I'm wondering if my reply was not quite on track. Is this problem on the phone itself, or via hotspot/tethering? It seems to be on the phone, so my reply might be way of course.
So today my data/internet 3g went down...I could receive calls send texts but no 3G verizon rep needed with my cell for a while kept going on how task killer and lookout was bad for my cell and was likely causing the problem...whatever I said and he couldn't figure it out do he hard reset...guy mentioned saving apps to SD card so here come
My noob question how do I save my apps to SD cars? And had anyone had 3g loss issues like I did today?

I am losing 4g/3g pretty frequently now as well. When it goes off, it doesnt seem to want to come back - but a reboot does it.
The only thing I have kinda noticed is that if I am wifi, then leave the wifi area (thus disconnecting) it tends to drop the 4g as well and wont reconnect. I'll have to test this some more, but thats all I can tell so far.

I am having the same problem as you, between changing back and forth from wifi to 4g and loosing all connectivity besides voice. My girlfriend has a bionic as well and has no problems whatsoever. I also do have lookout installed and she doesn't so I will try uninstalling that to see if it help and check back. But it might be a faulty phone since my girlfriend is having none of my numerus problems. dropping 3g/4g, wifi super slow when my other verizon phone is having no problems with connectivity with 3g/wifi. randomly locks on me while Im using the phone and the timeout is set at 10 minutes. And one time it totally turned off, not even just a reboot. Anyways back to the connectivity, I will try uninstalling lookout and report back! Hopefully that works.
i think verizon is working on their towers and 4g as ive had alot of data issues too until yesterday when it seemed to resolve itself.
Hmm so it may be lookout... Well I installed it again so let's see how it goes on the wifi speed I had the problem the first day I connected to my home connection but as of late its all good. Is anyone else running lookout? Post what up with your bionic running lookout. The rep did say it might be just my cell in particular but seems I might not be the only one I guess will update as day goes

Ive been having the same problem with 3g. I stay on wifi most of the time but whenever I do have to leave the house or work, I will lose 3g at first.
At first, the only way I could find to fix it was with a power cycle. Since then, Ive discovered that turning on and off airplane mode seems to do the trick.
Next time you guys are having trouble, try toggling airplone mode once or twice. That has worked for me everytime.
It's not convenient, but I'm sure there is a fix in the works.
Oh nice i had tried to toggle airplane mode but just once ill give that a shot if i loose 3G again so far last night after hard reset and as of this morning everything running good even with lookout running... Might not even be lookout
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
It is definitely not lookout. Or any other useless battery drainer. Toggling airplane mode, rebooting, etc do nothing for me. It decides when it wants to come back.
I have had the same issue once today. It was alot more yesterday.
If it keeps up, I'll be taking it back.

Airplane toggle hasnt done the trick for be. Just as a shot in the dark, I removed juice defender. I do not think that is the culprit here, but anything that controls my radios is suspect at this point.
Huh i just thought about something yesterday in the morning i saw a post Bout someone developing an fm radio app and thinking about it now after i installed it thats when i started having issues... Just throwing that out there i didnt even use it though but i havent re installed it either so i dont know if that even the problem

I am not rooted yet and haven't applied any hacks/tweaks. My data connection drops whether Im in a 4G or 3G area, automatic or CDMA only.
Seems to happen randomly although this last time it happened after unplugging the Bionic from charging. Toggling airplane mode restores data temporarily. Verizon will probably issue an OTA update soon to fix this but I hope it doesn't break the root exploit or I won't install. Once we have a working ClockworkMod recovery the ROM chefs should be able to fix this...
I heard the verizon rep say that his bionic did the same thing when it was charging via computer because it was in debug mode so you might want to look into that if you charging via a computer... Maybe?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
I've been experimenting a bit today and it seems that anytime my phone switches between data types, the signal goes down until a power cycle or toggling airplane mode. It happens the most when my phone goes from wifi to 3g. Whenever I leave my wifi area (work or home), the phone fails to find a 3g connection. This also happens if I manually turn off Wifi. If I've been on a wifi connection for a good amount of time and then disconnect the wifi, the phone won't find 3g.
Not sure if it has to do with my settings, but figured I'd mention them here.
Most of the time, I am in a 3g area so I keep my phone on cdma only unless I'll be traveling to a 4g area. Not sure if changing the settings to CDMA/LTE will change anything but I'm going to try that next.
Anyway, this is definitely something that needs to be brought up with both Verizon and Motorola. The more people who notice and say something, the faster we'll get a fix...at least in theory.
I switched to Verizon from Sprint and I'm not going back. Despite the issues, Verizon's 3g has been 5-6 times faster than the 3g I got with Sprint. Besides that, I should have 4g by the end of the year and the 25 Mbps down I am getting in surrounding 4g areas is killer. Just hope my switch to Verizon wasn't in vane. There isn't another phone on their network that even looks halfway appealing at this time and I can't wait a month for the Vigor or anything else to come out. Plus I like motorola build quality. So, let's hope a DEV or Motorola and Verizon gets this fixed on the fly cause its definitely an annoying issue.
Anyhow, if anyone finds a workaround or solution to this better than toggling airplane mode, please let us know. Starting to get tired of pulling out my phone looking for something, only to find out that I don't have data.
Has anyone else noticed their DROID 4 dropping data connectivity seemingly randomly and requiring a reboot to pick it back up? I know that I am...and I'm wondering if Motorola can't make it hang onto a data connection how hash is ever going to mmake it work right.
I haven't had any issues with data at all... LTE/3G handoffs work perfectly and everything ...And no worries, I am confident the data issues will be sorted out on the ics builds!
I have them issues. If connected via wifi no problem. But still wont be connected to the network. Requires a reboot to aquire network back

Rooted stock, no safestrap.
Though I doubt safestrap is causing data issues, or fixing them for that matter.
While I do plan on flashing some custom ROMs at some point, I have to admit that I'm very happy with the stock rom. Performance is very good, smart actions are actually pretty great (though there are of course 3rd party apps that do the same thing), and the camera app works pretty well.
My only complaint are the window transitions, blech. Yea, you can disable them, but then all the eye candy goes away completely! Ah Moto, why no middle ground?
I have had data connection issues on all the ICS ROMs but data on stock has been pretty solid.
Did you just port your number from another carrier to verizon? I had the same issue plus some and called verizon and they fixed it on their end. Hope this helps.

I had a few problems with my data just going out for a few minutes on the stock rom. I would be browsing the web, and then a page would just not load. I noticed my signal indicator was grey and not blue, and thus I wasn't getting a data connection. I just waited a few minutes and it came back up.
I never really though too much into it because I expect these small things to happen on such a big wireless network.

This is exactly what happens to me. It almost seems like a session timing out and renewing but I don't have a clue how the LTE network works.
Had the same data issue.. went to Verizon store and got a new SIM card (free) and problems cleared right up. Evidently the old SIM card did not get activated properly in their system.
I'm also having connection problems from time to time. I'm in a 3G only area. I'm running a stock non-rooted phone. Usually, I can get the connection back with a reboot. It's still a pain in the ass, I shouldn't have to deal with. I've called Verizon a few times. Its like talking to a wall with them. They act like you are the dumbest person in the world. Hopefully the next update can clear this problem.

After dealing with this problem for over 2 months I finally found an answer.
I have had this problem since day 2 and after getting the run around several times at the Verizon store (They claimed it was because they were upgrading to LTE in the area, which they said we'd have within 1 month over 2 months ago) they told me there was nothing they could do and suggested I call tech support (I don't know why I didn't think of that). I called tech support and talked to a very helpful woman, after describing my problem to her she asked me what phone I had, she knew the issue right after I told her it was the Droid 4. She told me it was a well known issue with the Droid 4 and that they expect a patch to be released at the end of the month (July) that would address the problem. She said that some people have had temporary success with toggling airplane mode (this has never worked for me but rebooting a few times does) and that having WiFi on, even when your not connected, can knock your data connection out (I have been able to reproduce this once so far).
So that's it. Keep your WiFi off when you don't need it, reboot when you have problems, and hopefully it will be fixed at the end of July.
I'm very disappointed with my Verizon store. Some of the employees I talked to owned a Droid 4 themselves and said they had the same problem and still claimed it was tower work. Either they were misinformed, stupid, or they were lying to me (who wants to buy a broken phone).
My Droid 4 does this in 4G mode. I've read that it's due to the nature of SIM cards. The network constantly vets and authorizes the card's access. If this vetting fails, you get the "white out", as I call it. It might clear up on the next pass, or you might have to reboot. My "solution" is to keep it in 3G mode. As for getting a fix at the end of the month, I'm not holding my breath, as I've read that that's VZW's standard response to just get the customer to shut up and go away.
I've been having the data dropping issue as well for the past few weeks. Running stock GB, rooted with safe strap, but have yet to flash a custom ROM. I thought the issue might be because I'm on a legacy Alltel plan with PRL 14012, which is way outdated...
Well, today I believe I finally found the source of what was causing the issue for me personally, from an unexpected source...Flipboard.
I've found myself glancing at it a bunch at red lights when I'm driving, or sitting in a waiting room, etc. Today I was driving though, and noted towards the end of my trip that this was the first time in weeks the phone hadn't once lost it's data connection for the entire drive. After reflecting for a moment on what, if anything, was different about this excursion, the only thing I could come up with is that I hadn't used Flipboard since I left the house. Even though my initial reaction was to seriously doubt a respectable app like that could cause such an issue, I had nothing else to go on. So, for the hell of it, I picked up my phone and fired up Flipboard...
Within 5-10 seconds of clicking it...BAM...gray 4g icon and no data would load. Needless to say, I uninstalled Flip**** right away...then reinstalled so I could comment on it in the market, then uninstalled again, and haven't dropped data at all in the last several hours. I also took note that a guy with a Droid Razr Maxx left a comment complaining that Flipboard was actually causing random reboots for him.
I don't know if any of you have Flip**** installed, or why you're having similar data issues, but if any of you do happen to have it installed, try uninstalling from the phone...not the market. Then, turn your phone off, pull out the SD card and SIM for a moment or so, put them back in, power up the device, and see if that might possibly help alleviate the constant data dropping. If I find I start dropping data again, without Flipboard installed, I'll update this post. Good luck.
No Flipboard on my phone. I'm glad you found an answer to your problem though.
Tappin' and talkin' with Tapatalk.
I've been having problems since Verizon turned on 4G LTE in my area. Once a day I have to remove my SIM card. If I don't, the 4G is very unreliable. Could it be a bad SIM card? Or maybe the fact that they just activated it here and they're working out the bugs? Anyone have any ideas?
I also forgot to mention, I've got a Motorola XOOM 4G LTE And have had not one single connection problem since 4G went live in my area.

I just have the data connection issue when ever i flip on wifi then disable it .. a reboot is required for data to work again regardless if i force 3g or if i am trying to use lte.. guessing it is a software bug.. i never seem to have a connection issue if wifi wasnt used prior.

I know this thread and comment are old, but if you use Spare Parts, you can change the Window Transition speed to Fast and then your phone seems much faster/smoother. Don't mess with Window Animation speed if you want to keep th TV-like power off blip.

I don't have Flipboard, however I noticed connection issues within 12 hours of getting my phone. At the time it was stock GB. I took it back to the store, he called tech support. Between the 2 of them, my phone was hard reset, the SD and SIM cards were pulled and the phone rebooted, they fiddled with settings, tech support tried to turn on data from their end, nothing worked. I noticed I lost my data connection when the Smart Action for battery saver clicked on. It was like it got stuck and the phone couldn't turn on data anymore. I did a factory reboot, and got data back. I turned on that first smart action, lost data connection again, it wouldn't turn back on. So I did another factory reboot, disabled that "Smart" Action, and been ok since then. I do still loose my connection, but I am able to get it back if I turn wifi on. Not sure why, but it works most of the time. Some days I still have data if I turn my wifi off, other days i have to leave wifi on if I want to use my 4g. I have my phone rooted, running GB and loving Spirit FM..(Having FM radio was the only reason why I rooted my phone..can't live without my FM!!) Is there anything I can do to get my data connection to stay on?
BTW an OTA update has occured for GB, but it doesn't seem to have fixed the problem.
