I have a problem with my Stock Bionic disconnecting my Data while I am using it. Apps I am noticing this issue in would be Facebook, Flipboard, and some other Random ones. This is very inconvenient and can really become frustrating when I am just trying to scan through my feeds or news on breaks at work. I don't want to keep reloading the apps to get connection again.
Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas if there is a setting I am just missing that causes this?
What version is your phone on? Sock .905 or a custom ROM? Some ROMs have battery/data saving built in and you have to disable them.
Make sure your phone is in high performance mode, not battery or data saver. You can get to this by going into Settings, Battery/Power settings.

Sometimes I'm in areas where I don't get the best reception (i.e. some lecture halls during school hours) and I choose to put my phone in airplane mode so as to conserve battery when the class is over. However I find after trying to come out of Airplane Mode my Revo always reboots. As far as I can remember this issue has also happened in Decrapped 1.0. The same thing happens when I turn on GPS and choose to go to Google Navigation I get rebooted. After the reboot occurs I can turn on the gps/airplane mode etc without any problems. But does this issue happen to anyone else or is it perhaps just my phone? Thanks!!
I find that my revo does the same thing with google nav beta, it will sometimes hang and reboot too. I am running stock rom with a root. When I rotate phone the landscape view is sometimes corrupted with tiny blocks instead of the maps drawn correctly. I have to exit nav app and reload
I've had the same thing happen with airplane mode. I don't really use it often so I figure I can live with it.
Same here. The Revo doesn't seem to like hardware mode changes at times. I get reboots when switching into Bluetooth occasionally.

I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one this happens to. Do you think LG will possibly release a fix? (or more people will have to raise concern about it) or possible for a dev to take a crack at it in their free time? Thanks for the feedback guys!

I'm only adding this due to the fact that I was constantly having issues when tethering with the Verizon 4g Hot Spot app. When running it, I found myself needing to reboot because the data connection would get lost and sometimes go into 3g, causing all sorts of headaches with doing things on my computer, such as redesigning websites, including my own.
What I found, though, related to this post, is using the airplane mode to kill the data connection and restart it, was getting me 4g and a few minutes to a few hours of Internet again until the next glitch.
Overall, modded, ota updated, downgraded, whatever, using that method never rebooted my phone. My thoughts are that it's possible some app might be causing that. I don't use Nav anymore, except as a last resort because it is so buggy, it would cause my phone to crash over and over, and rebooting. So, as for LG or Verizon coming up with a fix for this issue, I don't know if they would see it as one because it's not something everyone is experiencing and with as much as I use(d) that method, it never once happened to me. Please don't take that wrongly, just wanted to point out that it might be a certain app and allow those having this issue to seek another solution, maybe comparing apps installed to see a common denominator.
And, because I see a lot of posts relating to tethering issues with Internet freezing or dropping out, I found, on my LINUX machine (so far), that setting the MTU to 1300 seems to have solved that issue. I know this last part isn't directly related to the original post, but is the reason I kept using the airplane mode method and thought this added information might help someone doing what I was...

Sorry for the bump, but as of flashing Revolt 1.5, the issue in my original post seems to have been corrected as I was able to go from airplane mode to google nav multiple times and didn't reboot at all. so whatever the issue was seems to have been corrected. Thanks MT!!
Hi, I have had my note (gt-n7000, all stock, not rooted) since December and have kept an eye on my data usage using data counter widget and NetTraffic widget. On gingerbread everything was fine, very little background data, monthly usage well below 100MB (I'm on wi-fi 90% of the time), my battery usage was not great but no cause for concern at 8-10 hours standby.
Since the update to ics I have had battery issues, 4-5 hours standby max and I think this is caused by a constant 1kb/s connection every second. I have somehow managed too use 150MB in 10 days without even using my phone on 3g (standby only for average.... 1 hour a day!? ish). The phone doesn't get as hot as it did when ics first installed.
Onavo said Facebook was using high data so I have uninstalled it to test. RadioOpt Traffic monitor 4.1 shows "System Traffic" as extremely high.
I have tried:
Rebooting the phone.
Killing tasks/clearing memory.
Force stopping every process to see if that would identify the app/service causing the extra background data.
Disable sync.
Disable Samsung account.
Uninstalled Samsung push service.
Launch TWlauncher and remove all widgets and pages, I run ssLauncher.
I hadn't noticed the data usage when I first installed ics, it was a probably a week before I did. I don't think I have many new apps that would do this although something may have changed when an app updated.. but then wouldn't that show up in Onavo?
Does anyone know of any apps (non-root) that will give me detailed network information? ip addresses/domains attached too and What apps are currently connected?
Has anyone else noticed the same issue? I did search the forum before posting so doubt it.
LBE Privacy Guard can give you detailed info as to the data being used by each app but I'm not sure it's much better than the info ICS gives you when you go to settings / data usage.

LBE was useful thanks, I have used it to identify 3D flip clock as one application using a lot more data than it should. After uninstalling my data usage has improved. May have just been a bad install or a faulty update.
I'm now wondering why "voice talk" is using so much, especially as I don't use it and every time it asks me "what would you like to do?" I tell it to uninstall itself but nothing happens. is there anything I can do to disable it?

Go to settings>applications click the "all" tab and there you can scroll down and locate voice talk. Click on it and then you get several options. One of them should be to disable it.
Great thanks
Seem to be having an issue that I can't take care of that I've tried everything that I know that I believed could be causing the drops. The issue I'm having is any time I turn the screen off while driving my GPS will lose its connection after about 5 minutes. I was also losing data so I figured it was an application causing that issue with that problem I got resolved by removing the battery saving application called battery guru. That was actually shutting my data connection off with my screen off so I got rid of that completely but I still seem to have the problem with my GPS drops. My data stays up just fine but it seems like clockwork every 5 minutes the screens off I'm driving and I get that voice GPS connection lost. All I have to do is click the back button in Google Maps and reload my route and BAM its right back up and going. Now I can leave the screen on and I will not lose the GPS signal whatsoever until I turn the screen off. Have went through all the settings that I know of and of course the only battery saving application that I had installed and I can't seem to find the issue. I also use the search tool and couldn't find anyone else with a problem like mine. Does anyone have any suggestions or have seen this on their device? I'm beginning to think this may be a hardware issue I'm not sure. But if it was a hardware issue you would think I would be losing the connection all the time not with just the screen off which leads me back to a software issue. I'm going to keep freezing apps with titanium to see if I can find another culprit. I just don't have anything else installed that should have anything to do with that. Thanks in advance for any help for insight you may have.

Is called a nexus. Google stock has always had that issue. Unfortunately nexus users spend most of the time locked in a basement and never happen to use gps, therefore they will say their gps works just fine.

Really? Interesting. Don't remember that on my galaxy nexus but don't know that I ever used the gps honestly. Anyone else confirm this?

FYI my gps DOES work fine... But I forgot you know my experiences better than me. My bad. Stupid response.

My GPS on my Nexus 6 is and always has been amazing. (Thanks for reminding me to compare that when I get the 6P). I use my GPS daily to keep Waze up when I drive to watch for cops, traffic, etc. Even when I know where I'm going I use it and Google play streaming over Bluetooth and my GPS keeps connection even in Manhattan.
I would recommending getting an app called GPS status, it has a few settings to keep GPS active etc, which should solve your problem. However I have no clue what could cause something like that...

Is anyone having issues with their notifications not coming through, or coming in super late, or having the same notifications coming up over and over? I'm expecting all three problems, it seems to be happening with every app for me except for calls and text. I factory reset the phone but that didn't fix the issue. If I restart the phone, then all my notifications that haven't physically gone into the app to check start pouring in. No idea what could be causing the issue and it's really starting to piss me off. I have already sent my phone in for repair cause my LTE data stopped working for no reason. I don't think both issues are related as I do have LTE data after they replaced some part.
Would appreciate if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks.

I had notification delays with gmail app, fixed it by turning off battery optimization for this specific app.

Some people may have battery saver on and this may cause late notifications. Also check in settings "auto sync", under accounts. I did have some late notifications issue with Gmail app and do know battery optimization usually is the cause, but it went away in couple of days after I bought the phone.
Thank you for the suggestions. I ended up turning on high performance mode. Let's see if that helps.

How'd this work out for you? This phone is horrible for notifications for me. It constantly doesn't send them until I actually pick up my phone, then suddenly I'll get 5-10 notifications at once. I've turned off EVERY bit of power saving that I can find. I only run in high performance mode 24/7 with all adaptive battery, power optimization, auto app sleep, etc turned completely off. I've also tried disabling all power saving and sleep in the specific app pages as well. I need to be more observant, but I think this is mostly with push notifications (ex, my 2FA app for work) rather than apps with timers to check for updates occasionally. I also have an issue with my wifi disconnecting while the screen is off sometimes which is highly annoying since my home presence detection is based on my phone being on the wifi, though last time it started doing that a reboot fixed it.
Unfortunately, a search proves that this is a widespread issue. At this point I've pretty much given up on this phone and am looking to replace it as soon as I find a suitable alternative. I'm just curious if it's a Samsung issue or a Pie issue that will occur on other phones as well.

Seems to be a general issue with android. Mine have gotten better recently. In addition to turning off battery optimization for any apps I want notifications for, i have done the following:
1. Wiped cache (under settings/app/storage), then rebooted into recovery mode and wiped the cache partition.
2. Gone into the setting and made sure apps I want notifications for are allowed to run in the background (settings/apps/select app for notifications/battery).
3. Allowed to run in background when on mobile networks (settings/apps/select app/mobile data/Allow Background Data Usage.
4. Gone into messages/settings/more settings/push message/changed toggle from "Prompt" to "Always".
Hope that helps.

Thanks, I'll give some of those a try. I also got a VZW update with the May security patch among other things right after I posted that, so we'll see if that helps at all also.

It's gotten better for me. I enabled high performance mode but I had to keep going in and checking it a couple days after still even though it was enabled. Been a couple weeks now and the notifications I was missing before all seems to be coming in fine now. Time will tell though I guess lol
Are you also having trouble with apps updating? That was another problem I was having where I'd see apps needing to update, I'd start "update all" one app would download and then get stuck at 99% and it would just stay like that for about 40mins and prevent the other apps from updating. Then finally when it would finish the next one would do the same. It would literally take hours upon hours for 12 apps to update when it should only take a couple mins. That issue seems to be fixed for me now too.
Is anyone else having trouble with wifi? Mine is so slow it can barely load anything most of the time. Turning the phones wifi off momentarily and then back on fixes the issue and it's back at full speed, but this is only a temporary fix. After a few minutes, it will be back to being slow and I need to toggle wifi again. I made a quick video that shows just how much difference it makes before and after toggling.

This is getting really annoying though and I would like to find a permanent fix. Any suggestions? I have no issues with any other devices on my network.
EDIT: I've tried the usual stuff... resetting router, "forgetting" the network and reconnecting to it, etc.
have you tried it in safe mode?
