I'm just curious if anyone else is having an issue with their data dropping out on a stock D3.

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.

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
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
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.

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.

I read that typo. I tried it but was still getting a lot of data drops.

Just received my 3rd Bionic last Friday and last night data issues started again. I thought it was the ROM I was using. Nope, went back to stock and still dropping. My husband's Bionic has never had one issue.
Should I demand something besides the Bionic? This is BS. Never had this issue with my other phones.

You try any of the ICS leaks? Data is usually solid.
Sure did, Been on .232 since it was leaked. I've tried several different ROMs. Was on the JB ROM(AOKP not CM10) until last night when the drops started.
I just have crap luck anyway.
Last drop took 10 minutes to get Data back. I almost threw it out onto the highway, I need it to be dependable for work.

Yes that's what I was using.
As for the SIM, I think I'm going to ask when I call(going into a physical location does not a damn thing) here in a few minutes. It would make more sense than, every Bionic I get sent being bad.

I took my Bionic into a Verizon store for a new SIM card in early September. I had previously received one replacement Bionic. Since the new SIM card didn't help, I called Verizon tech support again and asked for a different model. They shipped a Droid Razr under my warranty. I'm very happy with it.

I'm 100% stock with the latest update! My One will get stuck with the 3g arrow up like it's uploading something...While this is happening I have no data connection. The only way to fix it is toggle airplane mode on/off and this only happens when my phone is on 3g.
Can this be a defective unit, App or maybe because sprint is working on NV all around me? I started receiving lte 2 weeks ago.
Btw this occurrs once every few days give or take

Ur not alone.......I've experienced this on several phones, including Samsung. Don't know what causes it, but the data toggle trick that you mentioned always works for me.
I haven't experienced this with any other phone except this 1 I will keep a close eye on it.

Flashed cm10.1 release candidate today. Everything seemed fine, then I discovered I wasn't receiving calls and wasn't able to make calls either. Anybody have any similar issues? Anyone have any suggestions as to what I may have done to cause this or if there are any settings I may need to change? Please help. Thanks in advance.
I literally just had this problem and spent the past 5 hours with useless tech support.
Don't call Sprint tech support, they just end up doing something on their end that makes you lose your texting and data, too. They ****ed me so hard I have to go into a repair center.
I can't even get another phone correctly activated in the meantime to use as a placeholder.
I'm just as lost as you are, too.
Try ##786# menu and reset. Make sure you are in a good signal area, this will do hands free activation and update prl.

The problem with trying that is the phone number and MSID fields are now blank, and going into the other dialer menu ##221542# and setting them that way doesn't stick past the reboot it forces when you try and apply those.
Maybe try following this thread

Tried that a couple different times with a couple different tech support reps, each time the phone number and MSID don't stick afterwards.
Sorry I tried, I don't have any other ideas. Hopefully someone else can help.

My older phone is finally activated (took well over an hour for calls and data to come back to it, by far the longest I've ever seen a phone take). So at least I have a phone again.
Good luck OP, I'm going to visit a Sprint store tomorrow to see what they say. Report back in on whatever it is you try and what you find does/doesn't work.

Back from the Sprint store, the rep I had happens to be a flasher like one of us. I explained to him what had happened and he got right to ordering me a new phone after a $50 deductible.
So, OP, we were both SOL. The MSID had gotten corrupted (similar to how in the early days of the Galaxy S3, it had a chance to lose its ESN) and couldn't be re-written. Only thing to do is get a replacement.
