Can anyone confirm this? My bionic will not pick up 4g.

Probably the worst place the ask this question. Drill down how many bionic owners live in Akron, then drill down how many actually know what xda-developers is...May want to try the vzw support forum, but since you already called, pull the battery, if it doesn't come back, see about bringing the handset in.
I live in akron but will not be home until tomorow.

I am home now and 4g is working great on my phone here in akron.

I live near canton and 4G works every day for me in Canton and worked fine in Akron this weekend.
They had to send me a new sim. Idk why but they turned my original sim off? Even tho it picked up 3g

Hopefully the SIM card worked. I took my bionic into vzw with complaints about the phone losing data, and when changing from 4g to 3g, it would loose data connection also, and it wouldnt pick up 4g when it should have. first they gave me a new SIM and sent me on my way.
That didn't help, and two days later, went back into vzw. After a factory data wipe and telling the vzw rep that a wipe wouldnt help, luckily the phone wouldnt go into 4G in the store, and they finally realized that the phone had a problem.
The new phone seems to be much better, but occasionally it will take a while to switch from 4g to 3g or 1g.

The switch from 4g or 1x to 3g is a problem that all verizon 4g phones have. It is a problem with the 1st generation 4g chips. The only debate Is whether it is a hardware problem or a firmware problem. Unfortunately for all of us, verizon is skirting the issue and seriously procrastinating about fixing it.

I'm just curious if anyone else is having an issue with their data dropping out on a stock D3.
Sent from my Incredible 2 HD using Tapatalk
Mine has been fine. What ROM stock are you running? The very first ROM that Verizon released is buggy but doihg an update to 5.6.890 is a good idea.

I believe she is currently running that.

Then you need to call Verizon Tech Support and tell them the exact issue from another phone besides the one ailing. A couple simple suggestions: do a *228 options 1 and 2, and make sure it is set to Home Only on roaming. Another possibility is the battery saver data manager is running and making it so it shuts off data during specific times and comes on when the screen is on. Make sure the wireless isn't set to Global but CDMA only.

We tried all of that. Thanks for the suggestions though. Nothing seems to work though. We just got this phone like a week ago because her other was doing the same thing. The new one did it while I was on the phone activating it lol. She's tired of it and I'm tired of hearing the complaints so I told her to sell it because she wants an iPhone.

For about the 3rd time in 3 weeks LTE is out again. Of course each time when it goes I am assuming it is my phone and I do a complete wipe only to find out it is the service. I am about ready to go back to my droid x! Nationwide outage again according to VZ.
not just lte this time, 3g is out too. someone must've spilled coffee on the main server or something.
Yep no 3g or 4g in Toledo ohio
Out in Chicago also.
No 4g here in Olympia WA

Apparently this affects all phones differently. The samsung charge right next to me has rock solid 4g while I am getting 3g for about 5 out of every 10 mins on my bionic.

Seems like VZ should give some kind of refund for every day the service is down. This is beginning to get a bit absurd. I have unlimited data for $19.95 and it still ticks me off.

This must be why i lost 3g about 230 this morning and it has popped up working again around 8 but is rather jumpy...
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Call them and ask. But be warned. If you pay $19.98 and you were down for a day, the refund is $0.66.
Yeah, I lost it early this AM in Los Angeles as well. I'm not pissed because I'm happy it wasn't my phone.....
No problems down here in southeast texas. 3g/4g works no problems...
4g/3g in Philly, when my phone gets around to it

In case you're wondering why 4G isn't working for you. Verizon has yet another outage on there hands.

Yeah I was wondering what was going on and that's what I figured ha. Don't know if you experienced this but my text messaging went out for like half a day last week I thought it was funny that they put it on their automated system that they were having problems
Yep it's out in Hawaii. Only 3G, 1X and Wifi for me!
I had absolutely no data from Verizon for about 4 hours this morning in Ohio. I found out about the outage when I called to complain.

After two replacement Bionics and a new SIM card, Verzion and I decided that it was time for a new phone. Hello Galaxy Nexus! Before leaving the Bionic though I was wondering if anyone else had an issue with data drops or was it just my area?

I have the same issues, in fact i was going to send mine back but they offered me a referb bionic...needless to say i held off but well see if they will eventually switch. Im on ICS leak (.232) with AOKP and its way better that on stock .905 GB (at times it was completely unuseable).
I see we are from teh same area though, so i dont know if its a bionic thing or 4g in detroit area. How is the nexus connection? Any drops?
After getting the Nexus and flashing the CM10 ROM it works flawlessly. Not a single data issue to be found.
im going on my 4th bionic!! ( first was data drops, second was bad speaker, third has a bad screen, fourth is on its way) next bad phone and im going to start pushign for a galaxy nexus also....
I didn't have to push very hard to get the Nexus. Just make sure you tell them you are a loyal customer and threaten to go to another carrier.
Did you have to sign on for a 2 year contract to get it?

Nope. Just complain enough and they'll give it to you for free.

I'm from the metro Detroit area myself.had data drops so bad the phone was nearly unuseable during certain times for the past couple months. Don't know why but it was the Facebook app. Uninstalled it and tada, no more data drops.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2
I will definitely have to try that tomorrow. I'm so few up with these phones. I've had 3 phones and 2 Sim cards, and still problems. I was under the impression you'd have to sign on for another contract
Update: just called in, the guy said he could only offer me the Thunderbolt (non dual core) or the Charge (no ICS). I pushed and pushed but they wouldn't bulge. The guy did say that ICS was coming very soon, and he thought it would help (I'm doubtful). But we'll see.

I was having the same problems. I read on another forum to set the battery mode to performance, that has seemed to take care of the problem.

Mine too. Has an exclamation mark instead of data amount. But im on the mobile share data plan that might be it...
The data count is for those of us with limited data. Set a data limit under setting - data usage and it'll show up on circles.

The data spot is checked sir. I'm not that dense and I did set my own limits on there but like the previous poster it just shows a !

I had the same problem. I remember seeing someone else in the same boat in another thread (maybe another forum?) weeks ago. His problem was fixed when he replaced the sim card he got with an lte one. I thought that applied to me as well, but that wasn't the case cause I got lte service when I traveled to neighboring cities.
This morning I heard that at&t finally rolled out lte to my city. I turned my data on to check and sure enough I got lte service from my home. I also checked the circles widget and data magically appeared on it. Now it's on there even when data's off. I guess you just have to be in an lte area.

I never said you were dense, but your OP had little to no details, so if you're feeling guilty about "being dense", maybe you should look at that

I'm using my phone with Straight Talk and we have no LTE at all, anywhere, and my data widget has always worked.
Sent from my A200 using xda premium
Mine does that periodically on/around my contract refresh every month. Dial #data*# to check your data usage, and soon enough it should go away. It also did it to me when I was switching from ICS to JB back to ICS. Should fix itself.
I have lte coverage where I'm at. And if I hear one more person tell me to *data# I'm gonna lose it lol. That's what each person at Att on the phone and in store said. I'm aware of that. I want to see it in my widget not wait for a damn text. I could just go to the att app also.

FYI it has never worked on me on T-Mobile but was working when I was on AT&T. Is Straight Talk using AT&T's network?

That depends if you're using a TMobile/Straight Talk sim, or an AT&T/Straight Talk sim. Straight talk uses both networks for their sim program, and uses Verizon with their cdma phones.

Mine also never showed the data in the circles, until I updated to the 4.1.1 leak, then it did
