When your data drops, when is it doing it? Is it just a random thing.

Its mostly when I leave my house I have wiring at home but when I leave I got to reboot to get data back on and it doesn't always do it either I was trying to root it to rum cm9 but can't get it rooted either but that kinda off topic

Does toggling airplane mode do anything?
You don't happen to have a power saver on your phone?

My data drops more than ever on 902. They are random. I lost data three times yesterday. Restart connections from the market sometimes works. I factory reset and tried roms. On 901 I hardly got any drops. On 886 I had a bunch. 893 fewer. 902 is just as bad as 886 for me. Data saver is off. Luckily data doesn't go out for long.

No airplane modes doesnt' do anything and yeah 901 was great never had a problem but now on 902 i am having issues again. If i go back to 901 can you do it without losing personal data and if so can you go back to 893 so i can root and then goto 901??
Im on 902 and I havent noticed a single power drop. Im stock build, but rooted.

+1 on the 902 drops. Seems more frequent than any other version..
I was on. 893 and had maybe 2 data drops over a month. Simce updating to .902 my data drops nearly every ten minutes without fail.

On .893 stock rooted and Eclipse i had very few problems with data. Seemed like more of just a minute or two hang ups. Now on .902 stock rooted I seem to just randomly lose data from anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 mins. Haven't tried any "quick fixes" yet because it generally returns some what quickly. Just frustrating to have an update magnify what was once a barely noticeable annoyance.
Now are any of u guys have the issue where it shows u have data but the 3g is white and nuttin works the progress ring just sits there and spins but nuttin downloads or nuttin happens?? This again is on 902 unrooted

Yep. Generally goes white 4g white 3g then either nothing or my 4g picks back up. Use wifi when I can but I have unlimited data n 4g is generaly at least twice as fast as my wifi.
So I thought I'd give an update that might help some others I rolled back to 901 and rooted and now I have no problems expect a weird bug with not being able to send pic msgs no matter what update or ROM I'm on

I am on my 6th Droid Bionic from Verizon?? Honestly both Verizon & Motorola's updates have in my opinion done nothing to improve the data dropping problems, and I to have had more 3g & 4g data drops since the .902 update and completely random?

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.

My phone keeps freaking dropping data constantly after going to .893 build and it's pissing me off. Tried refreshing vip, sim pull, and turning on data roaming, yet none works. Any suggestions would be lovely

Data Loss and Unthrottled
I did the .893/Th3ory V2.0 thing as soon as it was all available. I was one of the first to report that my data issues were greatly improved. Living in the country I could only test it with the wifi to 3G hand off and it was working great and reconnecting to 3G really quickly if not instantaneously. Well, I went to town today and checked the 3G to 4G hand off and it was terrible. I had to do the Airplane mode thing twice before I got 3G back!! I was so disappointed. And then tonight I did a nandroid backup and after rebooting I went to Root Explorer to rename it so I would know exactly what it represented. I was in the process of typing the name and adding that it was unthrottled and that's when it hit me. The only difference from when the data hand off was working to when it wasn't working was UNTHROTTLED. I had run the script. I immediately went to the script and ran the restore and rebooted. And by the way, that reboot took forever. I really thought I was caught in a loop. But after it rebooted, the immediate hand off from wifi to 3G was back!!! I know this is only one data point, but it working right now for me (again!!)!!
Go back into cheesecake and snag the 5.6.893 update. GREATLY improves radio. Haven't had a SINGLE drop since running it, plus I usually have full bars.
Of course, the standard procedure still exists (stock, bloated, etc) and I'm not responsible if you mess anything up.

I've yet to receive any update, but I've been losing data it seems almost daily. It sucks having to power down then restart, I always lose apps & have to reinstall them.

Move those apps from the Media Area back to the phone app storage area and they will stop disappearing.
Im so glad I updated my phone to this version! 5.5.893 did not fix anything and I was so disappointed .... but .901 makes my bionic a bad ass phone... 3 days running with zero data lost. Battery life is a lot better too. If u are in the same situation I was don't think about it and update your phone to this version.

You shouldn't have a problem updating if you flash 901 and leave it stock. They pushed it ota to som bionics, so they should support it for future ota updates. Even if they don't support it for some reason, you can use P3droid's one click to revert back and take the update.

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.

Since updating to the OTA .246, I noticed when I boot up the logo no longer shows the dual core , it only shows the M ...
Every time I boot up, I lose my XDA shortcut on my home screen. What issues are others experiencing..
I had some weird data issues with wifi enabled. I would lose internet connection, but still have a white 4g/wifi icon showing a connected socket. Turned wifi off and no more problems. Haven't tried playing with it beyond that yet. It might have been a fluke.
Not sure if that was an issue in the leaks, as I never used wifi until very recently. I am grandfathered into an unlimited 4g data plan, so I rarely use wifi.

One thing I've noticed is that I get better battery life using wifi so I began using wifi more often while I'm at home. I have unlimited data also but like extending the battery. I'm a heavy user so battery life is important.

That's been my recent line of logic as well. I've confirmed my wifi is problematic though, and already covered it in another 246 thread, so won't crosspost it here.

I've not had any bugs, which may be due to the fact that I performed a Factory Data Reset as some suggested immediately after installing the update. Maybe try it?

You sure the data problem while wifi is running isn't the new Smart Actions app disabling the data?

Since update I have not experienced any problems or issues what so ever.
I have rooted .246 ICS on a safe side and CM10 JB on the unsafe side. There few issues on JB, but I don't really care. I am switching between ICS and JB routinely, depending on my desert cravings.

I've been having the same issues and I know it's not smart actions. I have smart actions set up perfect. I have a lot of data issues on wifi only.like for instance just nOw, trying to open the Play Store, I keep getting the notification 'background data needs to be enabled' and option to enable it, and it takes me to my accounts and sync page. I've had lots of data issues on wifi. Not to mention, my battery won't charge past 80%, there is a frame around my screen at all times that won't go away, and after I switched to Swype the notification in the bar keeps asking me to select my input method.
