Anyone having this issue? I'm getting unbelievable drain both on stock 4.2.2 and leaked OTA 4.4.2. I have all location services off so not sure why I have this issue? Any ideas or recommendations greatly appreciated.

That's your phone buddy. Making lots of calls or on hold?
No I hardly ever use the phone ..would changing kernels fix it? I have noticed it is much worse when in bad signal area.

Of course it would be, it's the phone looking for signal or GPS location. It's the area you are in. A fringe area causes much more drain like you are seeing being that the radio is constantly searching for a signal. A kernel, not much, modem possibly. I have the RILJ wakelock when my area surrounded by water goes in a low state. Nothing to really be done... I've even tried to have Verizon upgrade tower here as it affects everyone in my location, pretty much service ticketed, loled at, and told about femtocell that I would need to pay for running off my internet..... LOL

this app and maybe others may help, I have not tried it :.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698432 and http://lifehacker.com/auto-pilot-mode-puts-your-phone-in-airplane-mode-when-y-1556047508 by putting phone in airport mode in low signal areas and only searching at intervals you want.

Recently I've notice my mobile data will disconnect sporadically. I'm not sure if it related to the phone or service. Is there a way to tell?
BTW, I'm in the Los Angeles area.
I've been having this problem too. I haven't been able to find a fix yet.
Have you tried updating PRL and Profile?

I had the same problem when sprint was doing NV deployment in my area!
My problem went away after sprint was done in my area!

Do you have sleep mode on or data connection checked in your power saver menu?

I've noticed the same here in VA. It'll drop for a few seconds then come back.
I still have a connection, but I am noticing 3G/4G flickers in northern Virginia. Hopefully our markets go live soon (officially, anywhoo).
I've updated the prl and profile and have had sprint reprovision data twice. I'm not using battery saver or anything either. The only thing that seems to keep data stable is if I set mobile data to 'CDMA only'.
LTE phone in a non LTE area has caused me grief. Could this be the problem for you also?
I've been having the same issue. However it didn't start till after I unlocked my bootloader and flashed a new ROM. I think it may just be bad timing but I've called Sprint to see if they are doing any work and I've been told no. (For what that's worth)
I also have a GS 3 & 4 and neither of them are having the issue.

I'm thinking that is the cause of this issue. About 60% of San Francisco has LTE now and I'm thinking the phone just has trouble staying to one tower or another. Still it's a frustrating issue.I didn't have any of these problems on my iphone 5 before or after switching back and forth.

This is an ongoing gripe of mine. I'm wondering if it's just me or if other people have this problem. When I'm on 4g it intermittently turns off data for a few seconds. The 4g icon goes away and comes back a few seconds later interrupting my connection. Only happens on 4g. If I set the mobile network to just 2g or 3g I don't have this problem. I've tried lots of different modems. So I'm wondering if it's an Optus thing or an issue with my phone? ?

probably poor coverage of 4G network
Why 4G when 3G is enough for watching video etc etc?
And it drain more battery also

I'm literally right next to a big city. Its not a coverage thing. If I have a 4g phone why not use it. I get about 24 hours of battery life from it so that's not an issue

I've noticed that yes the one switches between wifi/3g/4g much more smoothly, but also noticing it dropping those signals much more frequently too and struggling to reconnect if it drops it. As in, I can have a data connection, then none at all out of nowhere without moving, and a couple of minutes later it reconnects.
I was even just sitting here at home where I have full signal on wifi and saw it drop wifi too. This never happened on the previous base... Sigh... Nothing is ever perfect...

I've noticed that my phone is holding onto lte better inside today since the update. It was usually dropping to 3g once I started doing anything.
but it's ok to eat fish cause they don't have feelings.....
I'm dropping calls like crazy lately, but it really started before the update, so I can't say it's because of that.... Sprint really sucks lately, dropping calls left and right, signal dropping out all the time, and slower than slow 3g

Probably Network Vision upgrades.

Mine got better with the update. I can hold a call for over an hour in my house with 1 bar just like my old phone. before the update it would drop after 5-15 min. Also I am running into far less places where I simply can't use data despite having signal. I think there is still room for improvement.
When I first flashed the update everything seemed to working smoother and seemed to hold a better 4G signal. By the second day my WiFi would drop in and out, my 4G won't hold when I know have full 4G coverage. Sometimes I don't have a signal at all. Like that is my only pet peeve about this phone. What's the use of having the best phone if one of its primary functions doesn't work properly? I'm definitely looking to get something new at this point.
Where can I find the radios/firmware update? I've looked through all the threads and they are no where

I was having similar issues, I think it had to do with the fact that it was an in-place upgrade. I did a factory wipe, and the One is behaving much better.

It seems that every so often, maybe once a minute sometimes, my phone will briefly drop 1X and 3G and then pick it back up. It's fairly quick but it's maddeningly annoying when I'm browsing. My phone has been doing this for a while I think, but it seems to occur more often after the 4.3 update and new radio. I have no idea if it's rom related, my phone, or sprints network. I'm using bad boyz. Anyone else experience this?

I had the same experiences when i was running BadBoyz. Thought it was just me, but after flashing Elegancia and now InsertCoin...my connection have been steady at eHRPD with some flashes of 4gLTE here and there depending on my location. But yeah, my connection has never dropped since switching rom.

I have not seen a unified discussion on this issue yet, only fragments in other forums. I know it is a known issue but it is hardly discussed. I've noticed that the cell signal on stock LG roms are MUCH better than on AOSP/CM11. This is causing issues with my phone constantly refreshing. I dont get very good signal in my office already, but I can make calls and text still. When im on an AOSP or CM11 based rom, it all fails. Also when im on AOSP or CM11 it will connect to the network then instantly disconnect and go into roaming mode then repeat this over and over again. I just want to know if this is a known issue or if there is some kind of fix.

It's related to multisim merges from cyanogenmod. Seems to affect Verizon mostly and 3g. As of right now no fix that I'm aware of. LS doesn't have this bug. It helps to allow roaming. As far as signal bars alone don't tell the whole story. The phone usually gets the same signal check it out with an app called advanced signal status. But aosp has always been slower with data handoffs from 3g to 4g or from WiFi to mobile. But not to say you aren't seeing these issues where aosp can't make calls where stock can but for me I can make calls and use data in all the same places. And I live in a low signal area.

Very helpful info. Nice to finally have solid evidence to my issue. I don't mind the roaming bit. Its the constant switching from low signal to no service that I get that bothers me. It refreshes every app I'm in every time it does it. Its bearable but annoying as hell.

Are you basing this off of bars or db? Aosp Roms typically show less bars for me then stock but the db only varies about -5
The 3g roaming issue is because of cm screwing some files for the vs. It also caused no apn found issue too. Until cm fixes the issue it shall remain.
Turn on allow data while roaming (because the roaming is only cosmetic) and data should work as it normally would.

I'm basing it off the bars. Either way it is constantly switching and refreshing my apps. On my stock ROM I get signal with no switching in my office.

Try turning on data while roaming, and see if that stops it from refreshing.

Seeing how its CM source related and almost all the current AOSP kitkat roms are based on that source, I went back to stock for now. Much more stability with no cell signal issue. Seems like ill have to be patient before we get any kind of stability improvements.
