3G drop.

My first full day at work today and my bionic kept dropping 3g service all day.
I came from the thunderbolt and never had that issue.
I hope this was just a fluke.
I've also had 3 calls go straight to Voice mail at home. My phone never rang.
I hope this isn't a habit. I've already sold my bolt.
Anyone have these issues?
If I have to take it back, I'm not sure what phone to go to.
I picked it up last Friday. Got a little time left.

I've read a few are having 3G connectivity issues. Why not try another Bionic and see if it solves your issue? If not I would move to different phone then

Sorry I posted in the wrong section.
Please move to the general section.
I might take it back tomorrow. See how it acts.
Problem is, what phone to switch too if this one doesn't work out.

Wait a month and see what the HTC Vigor has in store. Droid HD might be on the horizon in time for the holiday season for big red? Or wait longer (who knows how long maybe even next year) for the Prime. Or wait till spring 2012 they'll be even faster phones out. round and round you go

Try disabling LTE. I had this issue, until I disabled LTE. What I am basically seeing, is that LTE is coming to my area, and something is getting picked up.
Or it is just 3G being a problem.
Settings -> Wireless & network settings -> Mobile networks -> Network Mode -> CDMA Only.

I had it set that way when it happened. I actually switched it back to see what would happen.
I'll see what happens tomorrow. I hope it was just a network issue for the day.
I can't be turning the phone on and off all day just to get 3g.

Also, try a wipe before you do end up returning it. That resolved the same type of issue I had on my DX1.

Well it's happening again today. 3g drops and then I have to restart my phone.
How do you do a wipe?
I've already did a battery pull.
I switched to 3G only. Still drops.
Any ideas?

I havnt lost 3g or 4g what i think you might be talking about is: 3g is dropping when the bionic is actually on a call. So no internet when your making a call. what Ive also noticed is that if I'm in a 4g area I will get a 4g connection when im on a call, But it goes in and out. I suspect on the update that comes out or a leak it will be fixed. I'm sure it will be fixed quick being its a major issue/problem. If you think back I bet you just got off a call when you noticed the 3g has dropped. I was on a call for a couple hours last night and my 3g wasnt coming back so i did a reboot and she came back. Small little issue that im sure will be fixed soon. Thats the only problem ive had with the phone, The Bionic is 5o times better the the Tbolt and thanx the cell gods im away from HTC Sense.

No, I wasn't on a call. I just turned it on and there was no 3G. Woke it from a sleep, not totally off.
Yesterday it happened 4 times.
Only once since 5AM today.
Maybe it's getting better.
Lol

Which battery saver mode are you in? I've had some issues with anything but "performance" mode that might or might not be directly correlated to my mobile connectivity issues. Check and see

I've been on performance since I got the phone.
Only one drop so far today.
I hope it continues to get better.

Correction - My friend just told me that Verizon does not have date on a call. Two things though, I could have sworn that I had data on a call with my Tbolt. Also If ur in a 4g area I noticed that you will get data its just will go off and on.

The thunderbolt is capable of simultaneous voice and data, even on 3G, but the bionic is not.

I am also having this problem. If Motorola still used vanilla android this wouldn't be an issue. I hate when manufacturers feel it necessary to fix something that isn't broke. I am sad to see how many people are experiencing this problem because if it was isolated to my phone and a few others then a warranty replacement would do the trick. I now feel like I wasted 380 on phone and accessories. I placed a call to Verizon tech support and their as clueless as usual. I hope an update is released soon that fixes this issue (or a custom rom). I remain hopeful that we start seeing good things on our Motorola devices now that google owns moto.
NOTE: I wish people would start reading through existing threads before starting new ones. I started a thread to this effect back on day 3. Several others have started threads to this effect as well. I think there are now 4 or 5 on this very same subject.

Hey I had a connection problem that seems to have been resolved by going to settings then battery, then change the powersave options to performance. See if it helps.

Agreed my 3G has dropped several times in a day will experiment once I get back into my regular area.
Right now I am in a rural town of Lovell Wyoming once I get to SLC I will try again.

Phone is acting a bit odd

When my revo turns on it talks and says loss of service and then seconds later the voice comes again and says Verizon wireless. As well as when I make a phone call. Before it goes through the voice says Verizon wireless and then begins to ring. Anyone else have this happening or know how to fix it? I'm not on any custom roms nor have I rooted this phone yet.

Mine did that for one whole day about 2 months ago then stopped. Don't know why though.

Any idea what you might have done to stop it. Its been doing it for a few days and its making me a little crazy

Nexus4 Great Disappointment

From day one I had dropped calls, sometimes as many as five in the same 10 minute call ! Considering that my previous phone never dropped calls at my location, I was immediately suspicious. Did the required checks with TMO regarding towers and reception. They sent a replacement phone. Dropped calls were actually worse on the replacement phone. TMO declined any further action, suggesting I should call LG. LG stated categorically that they had no reports of any problems like what I was having.
So I have been forced to return the phone for full credit, reversing the required two year contract and I am back on my trusty Vibrant.
Don't know what I will do now. Unbelievable. Selling phones that don't work as phones.

Believe it or not, the I9000 is a solid phone. My Bell Canada Vibrant is still kicking ass with latest 4.2.1 nightlies from the CM team. My daily driver is the Nexus 4 these days. Stock from Google, just boot loader unlocked and rooted. Too bad it didn't work out for you.

So ONLY YOU out of thousands of phones sold have the problem, and yet you accuse them of creating a phone that doesn't work? Narcissistic much?

ive made hundreds of calls with this phone, only like 1 dropped call and i think that might have been on their end. im in a good service area but this phone seems especially good reception wise because i have made calls in spotty coverage areas and they have been great. LG wasnt lying when they said that they dont know of this issue

I live just outside Dallas, I get good coverage, a little shoddy at times inside buildings, but never any real problems. Especially as I get closer in to the populated areas where towers seem to be more frequent/powerful.

There are many things about this phone I am not thrilled with (battery life!) but reception and call reliability is not one of them. It is far better than my previous phone on TMO and better than my work phone (Incredible 2) on Verizon.

Omg. Why with these pointless threads. I'm no developer or such. But my god.....
Its an android phone that has a lot of techno and great performance. Of course it will not be great on battery . a lot of ppl buying this phone seem to think its the ultimate phone .. Either deal with it or buy a Nokia 3310.....
And the screen scratching and breaking its not indestructable ... It'll protect to an extent .
As for the op blaming his phone out of the bucket load sold.I've not heard of 1 instance (I work in a phone shop ) ... I've had mine since day 1 along with a work colleague.
We both have no yellow tint issue.
No random cracks (that just happen) .
No speaker or mic issue.
I rooted mine straight out the box and running faux kernel and aokp ROM . battery I have just seen my best yet at 2 days and 14 hours.....
Use on WiFi all the time. Moderate net browsing. Ebay.mail. few hundred texts. 25 mins of calls.....
I can't understand why ppl post bad things that effects all new phones, but yet there's threads and threads of this and that. .... Its a phone ...
Op I know you proberly mean well but its just constant now . I use to come on here a lot to see how development and cool new things and new info are in progress. All I see now is
Threads about
This issue .that issue. Oh my screen randomly broke.battery's terrible. Screen is not gorilla glass as it has a scratch.
Any way all the best what ever phone you decide next .

Saved.

The only problem I have on my nexus 4 in regards to calls is that sometimes the phone doesn't ring?
I'll dial someone and i'll wait the usual amount of time, but with no ring and all of a sudden a here the person say, "hello".
So the phone is dialing, but there is do ringing? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Weird.

Isn't that on the carrier's side?

I call bull. T-Mobile sent a replacement nexus 4???? I know they are supposed to start selling them soon. But this would mean you already bought one from T-Mobile. Then used it enough to know it sucked. Then waited for a replacement... So you bought one from T-Mobile before they announced they were selling it? Or you convinced then to give you a replacement just cause?

I bought the phone online from TMobile in early December. I immediately had dropped calls. Reported it to T mobile and they told me they were going to send a replacement, which also didn't work. I am not sure why you can't follow this simple explanation. Perhaps you should put down the drink, turn off the porn and try reading, you do know how to read don't you ?

I never said I was the only one. LG implied that I was the only one when I called them. The two phones I got just didn't work. That's all and that is a disappointment. I am glad that many of you have phones that do work. However there are quite a few that don't for various and multiple reasons. I think your hostility is inappropriate and revealing of a projection from your dark side that doesn't,t belong in this forum.

(Q) Receiving Texts Late

Okay. When i first got this phone about 2 weeks ago texts came through no problem. Now for the past about 2 or 3 days i get texts that were sent over a day ago at 10 at night. Im on tmobile and never had this issue on my m8. Im rooted,oem unlock and twrp recovery with the only custom rom available.
Ideas??[emoji21]
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk

From what i was told today at work, that can happen either when the tower is being upgraded, reset, or having issues. i would call and file a ticket with tech support if it continues

Awesome, thanks for the info

i had the exact same problem and got my phone replaced a week ago. not sure what time problem is or if its even phone related but i do know that i havent had this problem since.

I have been having issues with my t-mobile version also. My wife got part of anew text mixed with part of an old(like a couple week old) text. Today I got a few OLD OLD texts from my wife. Both of us have the T-Mobile version, stock rooted...

I had to factory reset twice to get mine to work normally.

Anyone on Sprint having network issues with their Note 8?

My issue seems to pop up when LTE is in use. After using it, LTE will jus stop working for a couple minutes. Signal will still be there and LTE but won't work. Thinking about getting a replacement but I wanna see if any other Sprint users have had this problem

When connected to LTE it doesn't load fast like with ur note 8. But I'm not having the 3g issue. Still a problem though

After calling Sprint again today to look into this issue...they were baffled and could not figure it out so a ticket was created for Tech support to call me back in 5 - 7 business days.
I got off the phone and did some more trouble shooting on my own again. I starred at the phone for awhile and got a wild thought abt my lil plastic case I had on the phone...and sure enough thts wht it was. Just a plastic case with separate top an bottom peices tht was plastic to look like metal...and i do believe that thm 2 lil pieces on my case was interfering with the signal. I have the exact same case on my iPhone 7 Plus jus a different color and there is no interference at all. I took the case off and hav had the best signal...full bars and LTE ever since...All this time it was the case that was purchased from Sprints website. So I will be taking the case back because my phone is now completely naked lol and I need a new one. Problem solved!

not anymore

Well..... back again. Same issues. Pages load at a snail pace. LTE cute in n out. Downloads seem to be unaffected though. I did a speed test and got this result...

Just returned my Note 8 today before the 14 day period. Had multiple issues with network...and multiple calls with tech support.
No calls coming through, straight to vm...double texts. Getting a replacement in a couple days, hoping for much better experience.
Had issues before i put a case on it. Tech support did all the usual reset, reactivation, *720, 730, 740, multiple prl and profile updates. Figured it was only going to get worse. Didn't want to risk not being able to return. $35 restocking...oh well. Back to my trusty note 2 for a couple days
Sprint tech and manager tried to tell me that that practically the whole city had tower issues and that the phone was working as its supposed to. I use the phone for work, so reliability is important. Sprint store did everything in their power to prevent a return. Diagnostics run on some Windows 95 laptop was a joke.

Ssame here. Really annoying. I wanna keep the phone but these issues r really getting to me. My replacement was fine for the first week or so, then right back to the BS. Not sure if it is Cache issue or Wut. But it starting out fine then going to this is really odd. Also, I uninstalled all apps that i had recently installed and nothing

I was able to get a better download speed from turning enhanced LTE on by using shortcut master lite and searching lte....the setting is

Still the same but I have noticed something wierd.. So my LTE issues always come when I'm surfing the web in chrome or the Samsung browser, pages slow to load sometimes not loading at all. Blue bar jus moves like a snail. And if I go to another like youtube to watch a video it loads up jus fine. Odd...
