3G dropped.. not a reboot fix type drop, just won't come back drop..

Ok, So far I've been loving this phone, no hiccups, no reboots, no problems and loving the battery life.
I live in a 3G only area so I have the phone set to CDMA only all the time. Last night I was having a chat on Google Talk and my 3G dropped, I figured, meh, it's just gonna need a reboot or let it sit for a while to come back. Well it sure didn't.. that was 12 hours ago from posting this. I've tried every toggle known to man, reboots, etc.. Nothing will give me my 3G back. Can someone please help me to prevent from having to call Verizon and go through all the reboot your phone, return to factory settings crap. Then end up with a factory like-new phone when my phone isn't even a month old yet. Wifi is working fine here at work, but I need my 3G.

Mine is screwed today as well... If it takes a factory data reset, I'd just as soon do it on my own. Update to fix isn't due until November... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Anyone with any real solutions? All the reboots/battery pulls/airplane mode toggles have been performed.
Thanks!

If both of you are experiencing issues today it may be something as simple as a network issue.

I thought so, but other people with smartphones around here on verizon aren't experiencing any issues. So I've eliminated network issues as the problem here.

yeah i think must be a network issue

Yep, same here... I even have a guy in another department in the plant with a Bionic and his is working just fine while mine sits brainless. it's definitely not a network issue for mine. aCk!!!

A new SIM card later... DoH

I have been dropping data connections also and it takes awhile to come back on sometimes. Usually if swith from 3g to 4g and such it comes back but I am getting frustrated with it. Other than that I love it.

Yeah, I'm really getting sick of the dropped 3G too, I can't figure out a pattern to it either, just drops out of nowhere sometimes.

I am having the exact same issues......I have power cycled, done battery pull, etc. Does not seem to be a network issue as 3G can be working fine one minute, not working the next, then go back to working again 5 minutes later. The duration almost seems random in nature. Very frustrating. Other than that I love the phone.

Same as pretty much everyone else. Really intermittent data connection problems. Have gone through 3 handsets so far.

Isn't there a number that can be called that updates your phones tower info?
Just found it. Try dialing *228. Not sure if it does anything or not but I have been dropping 3g too. So far my signal is much stronger but time will tell.

I'm having the same problem, but only at work. The signal fluctuates almost constantly from 4g to 3g with 4bars, to no data connection. Outside I get a stable 4g connection. My T-Mobile phone had a stable but weak signal here.

I thought *228 doesn't work on LTE phones? Mine won't even make the call when I try it.

It doesn't look like its dialing out. However, I am getting a message that my verizion sim card has been updated. So far I have not lost service in places where I would frequently lose 3g. Could be a placebo effect though.

Alright guys here I go I should of posted this on a topic thread I started couple of weeks ago but whatever here it goes and i hope it helps... So I went through 2 hard resets and one new SIM and so far this is he only thing the worked. Called big red and got a level 2? Tech support and since then have had no problems going on couple weeks now... Didn't see anyone mention this in previous posts. go into settings> Battery and data management > make sure you have "background data" and "data enabled" both checked. Hope this helps has for me and i hope I'm not repeating this info

Did the hard resets and sim change do anything? I have looked at my data settings and both items you mentioned are enabled on my phone.

Well yes on the hard resets and questionable on Sim card but data was still lost Week.later again and this new trick has been working since I did the changes going on about 2 Weeks now

Mine dropped today, one week into using this phone. Could be a fluke, but here's what worked: toggled LTE back on (no 4g here), then rebooted. Viola! 3g immediately. I really hope this isn't a constant problem...

Bionic 3g/4g is not working (DROP) "FIX"
After searching around a few days for solution n test many apk and many many methods... Finally found the fix.
Just download "BionicTCP" from market (Play Store) (REQUIRES ROOT), and click on "Large TCP Buffers". It makes my Bionic xt875 3G/4G NO DROP AT ALL.

[Q] no 4g or lte on stock or custom rom

So I've had this phone for almost a week now and I used to he able to get 4g LTE. But ever since I rooted it, I no longer get more than 3g. I now have bananacakes Holiraider 1.6 but I still don't get any higher than 3g. So my question is how do I get 4g and 4g lte. Oh and if anyone is using that custom Rom, is it possible to get faster than 1512? In his thread it shows you can clock it to 1566. Thanks a bunch I'm kinda new to this!

try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and see what your modem is set to, it should be GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
you also may have an APN issue, verifiy that your APN is correct, perhaps contact your carrier for the correct APN settings for you phone and plan.

Well I'm now running a custom ROM. The apn is the same as other users and it does say the above. And yes I am in a 4G LTE area
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using XDA App

Try doing the above and change to LTE only.
Then once you have 4G change it back. It should stay on 4G. I had to do this to get 4G on official rom.

Ok I just tried that but it wouldn't let me to switch it to LTE only. When I did, it switched it back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. I'm just gonna relock my phone and set it back to the original stock rom and format my phone (yes I have the apps and stuff backed up). Because my actual mobile connection fluctuates on and off as well

the phone should be locked into the GSM/WCDMA/LTE setting. If you try to change it from that setting it just returns back. The phone will get instructions from the carrier's base station to tell it whether to be on LTE or just 4G/3G. Using *#*#4636#*#* under phone information, what is listed as the Network type?

It is locked in GSM/WCDM/LTE auto.

above that option it should tell you the network type. it is about half way between the "run ping test" button and the "Set Preferred Network type" option. Need to know what it says there.

Oh ok I see what you mean, it says HSDPA

make sure that you are in a active LTE area. toggle the radio off and on. the network type should change to LTE if it is available. remember that if you make a phone call your phone will drop back to just 4g/3g and it might take a second for it to switch back to LTE.

I live in Los Angeles so I'm like in the center of the LTE center in Southern California. But for some reason my phone won't get anything higher than 3G, and my actual cellphone reception toggles on and off randomly too.

It worked before. For the first 3 days atleast. And now all of the sudden it wouldn't work, so I rooted it and installed a custom ROM

Try one of WildChilds custom ROMS. LTE works on both and they're tailored to US users.

if the problem arised before you rooted and rom'd the phone I doubt the rom is the problem. there is always the chance that you have a bad radio.

That's what I'm thinking... What would I do about this?

i would verify your sim with another 4gLTE phone and vice versa.

Hrm... So it could be a Sim card problem eh? Unfortunately there are no other LTE devices for me to get a hold of... Would this be the only way?

it could be. i hope you have pulled battery/sim and then rebooted already. you can verify your phone with a known good sim and verify your sim with a known good phone. I would try your local at&t store. they might be able to help.

I have done it many times . Yeah I'm actually going to head over to the at&t store in a few minutes, I'll keep you posted. Thank you so much for your help! rft3ch!

I will be replacing my phone. I replaced the sim card and that wasn't the problem . The rep said that someone else came in with the same problem as well.

No internet while on roaming

I recently updated my Galaxy Note to the Samsung provided ICS update.
I am now running the following.
Android Version
4.0.3
Kernel version
3.0.15-N7000DDLP8-CL551076
[email protected] #3
Build number
IML74K.DDLP8
After the update my phone did have internet connection. But about 24 hours post running the update, I am now not able to get Internet connectivity, on roaming.
My Data roaming option is checked.
However, I am getting a notification in my bar
Data roaming
You have lost data connectivity because you left your home network

This thing i have experience some time ago.
I have set network operator selection - 'automatically' and issue was solved.

I have it set to Auto

have you tried contacting your provider if there are problems with your account?

Why don't you set it to manual instead of auto
After seeing it to manual select your operator
Done
This method had helped me once
Just give it a try
Alternatively you could again ask for internet settings from your operator

I have tried both automatic and manual. I have also tried GSM only/WCDMA only and WCDMA/GSM auto. Still no joy.

Ok I did a factory reset. Now not only is there no Internet but when I try and make a call it says "Not registered on Network". The signal meter shows full Signal.
I have set the Network type to Auto, and I have 3G activated on my SIM. Also checked with Airtel and they have confirmed the same.

Notification screen showing wat?
If it shows Emergency call only then youe device not connected to network

Use WCDMA Only
I had the same problem earlier with LPY Open Germany. I set Network Mode to WCDMA only and got the 3G network while roaming..... try this if helps...

Same here....but got solved somehow...i dont know what happened i was automatically connected after 8 hrs or so...i thought it was a problem from my service provider...

I took my Note to Samsung Service Centre today. The lady registering my complaint simply yanked out the battery without switching it off. When I switched it back on miraculously all my complaints were gone. The phone worked properly for another 8h or so.
Now at the time of writing this post, I have no internet connection, however this time I have no notification either.
So, I would like to know is it possible to check for myself whether its a carrier issue or a mobile issue?

likely carrier issue. have you check your sim in other device?

I have lte in most areas but where I'm at for this week there is no lte. Though as I'm sitting here it will lose all signal randomly for just a few seconds then come back. Happens at least once every few minutes
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk now Free

Happens to me too, we just got lte where I work, same thing still happens :/

happends to me also

Glad that I am not alone. Use to listen to Tune-In while on the road and now it cuts out for a few seconds every other minute or so. Sometimes I reach a stretch of road that I have no data. Also turn on Scout and it constantly says network connection has been lost, and network connection has been restored.
All the time the signal bars show that I have service.
Took my phone to the Sprint store today and all they did was a data reset, 786 I believe. This is the second one that I have had data signal issues with, the first one they said that it failed a radio test one and they replaced it. Also my girlfriend's phone seems to do the same thing. Never had issues like this with my HTC EVO LTE. Might actually reactivate and see if I can isolate to the phone verse the network.
Now the question is phone (which I would tend to be the case), or the network. If it is the phone, is it every phone issue or a bad batch?

[Q] Moto X XT1053 After Lollipop Update Problems

I update to 222.21.15.Ghost_ro-Retail.en.US I couple week ago and I have notice that You Tube sometime will stop the playback and just get stuck, also when I unlock my phone or lock it some time I get a crackle sound coming from the rear speaker, almost like it a re-verb sound from the lock sound.
I have cleared the cache partition and I have rest my phone from the back up and restore option. And that has not change these two thing from happening. The rest of the phone seams to be working find I don't know what else to do to fix this problem.

Same problem here with YouTube playback... 222.27.1.ghost_row.02.en.DE

Try going to Settings > About Phone and enabling Developer Options by tapping on Build Number several times. Then press the back button and tap on Developer Options and scroll almost all the way to the bottom until you get to the Media section. Try enabling/disabling Use AwesomePlayer (Depreciated) and see if that helps.

Thanks that tip seems to have fix the YouTube playback problem. Any ideas on the crackling sound made at random moments.

Definitely software. It's totally sporadic. It stopped last night as I went to bed and then picked up this afternoon when I was texting someone.

Would re-flash using the
MOTO X, GSM Dev Edition:L-5.1-LPA23.12-15 (Retail) LMR1 fixe these software glitches. And if I am on lock bootloader do I need to unlock before flash this per Motorola instructions.

Anyone else having problem with cell data connection? Wifi works fine but cell does not connect. I have this problem using PTel (T-Mobile MVNO w/ LTE) and H2O (AT&T MVNO w/LTE). Truphone which is both T-Mobile and AT&T MVNO but has not LTE can connect but drops the signal quite often even in areas whith strong signal (-75 dbm or better).
I have checked the APN settings for all, cleared cache, done a factory reset and the problem persists. Before the 5.1 update I had absolutely no problem using all three providers listed above. Any suggestion is welcome since I am running out of idea and the next step is calling Motorola.

My data connection has been really good post-update, so I can't offer any assistance other than what you've already done. I would definitely confirm from your carriers which APNs you're supposed to be using and/or call them/Motorola about it.

Try different apns. Sometimes I need to try a few different ones listed before the phone works. Make sure you save the APN

i also had The crackling sound on my moto xt1053 but it was a gravitybox (xposed module) setting I had enabled. after I disabled that and rebooted the problem vanished. This may help others

I've had mobile data connections problems saying something like "failed sign in attempt with AT&T network" and the crackling speaker.
I called AT&T, who did something on their end. It did work, but when I switch from WiFi to mobile there is a moment or two when the !sign-in failed symbol pops up. But, the signal returns soon.
