My first day with the Droid bionic... it's my first non-Samsung Android phone, so I'm not sure what to think.
In the midst of trying to figure it out and get it all setup (rooted, Titanium Backup restore, apps only), and my data drops out. Apparently for good.
I had solid 4G data when I first opened up the phone this afternoon. I ran some speed tests and switched to WiFi. I left the house a bit later and realized I couldn't open a webpage. I noticed the WiFi was still on, so I shut it off, but the cellular data never came back.
Tried putting it in airplane mode and back, rebooted (several times), tried the data toggle on the power control widget, I even forced the phone into CDMA only mode (and back).
I'm stumped. Has anyone else seen this? Is there any kind of possibility that restoring apps or rooting could have anything to do with it? I have not seen this problem over many a ROM on the Vibrant, and then the Droid Charge. I even loaded a GB ROM on the Charge and restored all my apps without issue.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd really not like to have to wipe the phone and start over.
I had something similar happen although I'm not rooted yet. For 3 days I was golden. Then I installed switchpro widget to see how the 3G/4G toggle worked with the Bionic and it made my mobile connectivity wonky. I uninstalled it. It still is wonky today.
LTE is there then goes away a reboot corrects it until it goes away. 3G is exactly the same. Turn on WIFI and the LTE disappears. It's supposed to stay up just turn white like it did for 3 days prior to installing then uninstalling switchpro. It could just be coincidence with the switchpro thing idk. I'm not all that knowledgeable with APN's, but after some research somehow I believe mine got mixed up via switchpro. Getting a new Bionic tomorrow.
Well, no data at all. If I'm outof wifi area, I have no data access. Only phone calls and text.

I'd get another one then. Or if you don't want to do that get a different brand
I think I'll just try a hard reset. I'm sure it was something I did with Titanium backup... I'll just have to figure out what.
Or you could try a factory reset to see if that solves it
EDIT: I see you thought of that 1st
Something similar happened to me. The only way I could fix it was by restarting the phone until the data crashed again. I solved this problem (or I think I did, still testing it) by removing all my widgets. I have a strong suspicion it was a widget doing this (specifically the AIX weather widget, but I am not sure yet).
So, I suggest that you remove all of your widgets and restart your phone and see what happens.
The hard reset did the trick. I think maybe it was me restoring the [SMS/.../APN] setting (can't remember the middle setting) in TB. I didn't do it this time and all seems well. It was green, so I thought 'why not'.
I'll see how it goes from here on out.
I'm thinking its got to be something related to wifi. every time I disconnect from wifi I can't connect to data unless I reset my phone.

Glad to hear that. Factory reset did not fix it for me. Will have a new tomorrow
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.

So my wife and I both got Thrills the day they were released. Only a couple weeks after getting them my wife started having trouble receiving MMS's. Even with the "auto-download" setting enabled MMS's stopped auto-downloading and if she pushed download it would just say "downloading" and never download until she rebooted her phone. Mine was working fine so I didn't pay too much attention. I kinda figured it was cause she messages a hell of a lot more than me and it might be a glitch there. One day I started having the same problem so I assumed I had reached the number of MMSs that she had when she started having the problem. So I deleted all my text messages in the messaging app. So she sends me an MMS today and same thing, didn't auto-download, won't download when I click the button. I refuse to reboot my phone for everything. Anyone else having this problem? Know whats going on? Have a fix that doesn't require root or a new rom?

Had the same issue when I got my Thrill, I had to edit a setting. I forget what it was.....another thing that's stopped my MMS is having a **** load of Message in my inbox that aren't deleted.
Go t settings and set up auto delete, clear cache, & change what you please, after that report back in a day

Clear cache? In message settings? I actually deleted all my texts and still have this problem. I never set up auto delete on mine but I did my wife's. Either way it still happened to both of us. This "clear cache" sounds like a winner. I wonder if the pics get downloaded but just don't show up in the app. The next time it happens I'm gonna search the folder with ES and see if it's there.
Hey guys, so today I decided to backup my texts and once I did that I started to delete messages from my phone (as I normally do without any problems). I know it can take literally forever for just one convo to delete especially if you have over TONS of messages, so i waited and waited for the 'deleting messages' box to disappear.
I left my phone doing it's thing whilst ocassiaonlly using the phone at the same time, obviously I didn't do anything in texts, but when I went back on messaging I noticed it was gone, so I tapped on messaging again only to find the 'opening conversation' to appear and its been stuck like that for ages, therefore I cannot access any of my texts yet..
Any advice on what to do? Is it really still opening conversations? (it's been about 15mins probably!) and I have no idea if it deleted one of my convo's fully.. Is it safe to turn the phone off & then back on perhaps? I don't want to risk losing anything...
Hope it all makes sense. Thanks!
EDIT: nevermind sorry, it literally just stopped with the opening conversation message and back up. My convo I tried to delete is still there though, so will try again and not touch anything this time! Sorry, please remove this thread if you wish!

Oh my days, it's now probably been about 2 hours since I started deleting and its STILL doing it - is it supposed to take THIS long?
I had my phone showing messages from another conversation/recipient a few days ago. In this case, all alerts from my train operator about delays were showing as being sent from my wife.
Killing the task and reloading messaging seemed to fix it, but it now has me worried that such problems might one day see me getting corruption errors, although I don't really have any texts I couldn't afford to lose.
After updating my htc one to 4.3, my notifications led is not working. It comes on when I plug it on charge, but doesn't work for anything else. Anyone else have this problem?
Same here , red only when charging, green led not working ?

Did you guys factory reset after upgrading? Its most likely that the LED will work after a factory reset, I didn't as it all worked lovely without this time and with kit Kat round the corner I will factory reset for that upgrade. Maybe some one knows what process drives the LED that we can try clearing and force closing? might help

Yes, I actually rooted my phone, and installed 4.3 before it was even available ota, and the notification led would not work. I then went back to stock, and received the ota update, then did a factory reset, still cant get notifications to work. It seems to be affecting a minority of handsets which I find strange.

I think we may well be a minority with this problem, there's not a lot of noise on this forum the internet in general about it, it could be a combination of apps that are causing the problem, or maybe the new Do Not Disturb feature is not running properly as that shuts down the notification Led when activated.
We know a factory reset doesn't help.
Apps I have that use the notification LED other than the stock system notification are only WhatsApp and Missed Call Reminder, I am going to try uninstalling them and see if it frees the LED up, other than that I am at a loss.
I am having the same problem after recently updating to 4.3 / 5.5 (stock Scandinavian int. unlocked version) so I will be keeping an eye on this thread and any others to see what the possible solution is.
As manmikey has said, factory reset doesn't solve it - at least a regular reset and re-install. I may reset again and set it up without importing my apps, to see if one of them is screwing it up but I don't have anything out of the ordinary which accesses the LED - only stock Messaging and Gmail. I tried LightFlow, to see if that would somehow kick it back to life and override what was causing the problem by using its testing tools, but still nothing...
So yeah, must be a combination of updates and apps which knock it out. It's not a huge issue as I still have audio notifications but it is super-handy being able to glance at my phone and see if anything has arrived. Might be fixed with 4.4, who knows...

Finally got to the bottom of this problem which has been bugging me for weeks. If anyone is having problems with there notification led not working, do a factory reset. During the install process after resetting, DO NOT log into your google account and let it restore your apps and settings. Lo in once pone has fully booted up and manuallyrestore apps, bit of a pain if you have loads of apps, but the light is now working normal for messages, emails etc etc as it should

YES! Thank you so much for this! I did the reset, without restoring using my Google account and then logged in after the set up had finished. Sent a test email from another account and *BAM* the green LED flashes away. Such a nice feeling to have it back - it feels like my phone is now complete. Strange how such a small thing can make a difference to the overall user experience.
Having to reinstall and set up my apps from scratch is a small price to pay for having everything work properly.
Thanks again

No easy solution but a more info for those with this problem...
Seeing on this forum that restoring using Google back up did not cure the problem I thought I would try using HTC back up. I did a factory reset and then a restore from my HTC back up to try and get the notification lamp working. Unfortunately the Led still does not work after this so it looks like Honda1979s method is the only way
As a footnote I have now returned my HTC One (to Carphone Warehouse) for warranty repairs as the device has microphone/noise cancelling issues (another seemingly common problem of the HTC one) So I reported the LED not notifying as well, so lets see what comes back in 6 days..... I have a horrible feeling that HTC will shirk the repair and quote "moisture damage" even tho it has never been wet. watch this space

Okay still no solution but further information....
I received a replacement HTC One as the microphone issue was not repairable, the replacement device was a factory reconditioned unit with sense 5.0 & Android 4.2.2 installed. The notification LED was working when I put my sim in and subsequently after I ran HTC restore. Then I downloaded the OTA sense 5.5/4.3 update and ran it. After that update the notification LED was no longer working. At this point I am leaving it as I don't want to spend too much more of my life chasing a flashing green light, after the KitKat update I will follow Honda1979s methods and rebuild the phone from scratch and not restore from backup.
Hey guys I am the owner of a new HTC One phone
My feeling is that Swiftkey is messing up green led notification
Do you have installed Swiftkey. Because for me notification does not work after the installation of this application
Also an uninstall of it does not help. For the moment only honda solution seems working

Solved - Notification LED not working
Just to update the post....
After the OTA update to KitKat 4.4.2 I did not restore from backups but rebuilt my HTC One as a brand new device, I can confirm the green notification LED is now working again :good:
Okay having just updated OTA to sense 6 I find yet again that the notification Led has stopped working again as a result of updating. I was expecting to have to rebuild my phone from scratch as before to get the Led working. But I discovered another way to get it working whilst installing another app.
The app is "Missed Message Flasher" and when setting it up it requires turning on in the Settings/Accessibility/Services menu. Once installed and turned on the Led works as entirely as intended
I confirmed this by uninstalling the app at which point the Led stopped working again, reinstalled and the Led works again.
I have no idea why this solves it, but I hope it helps others with this frustrating issue.

So I had the same issue.tested my led in safe mode it worked fine. Downloaded the led notifier on app in market because some reported this fixed it.disabled Google hangouts and Verizon messaging still nothing.but what did work and I'm not sure if its a combination of all the steps I took but all I simply did was cycle the do not disturb button on and then off from the top pull down bar. Hope this works for you guys.

Old thread but ran into this problem a week ago on my Desire HD. Tried all kind of apps and removed all my widgets and a bunch of apps but couldn't get it fixed. I knew my LED still worked cause when I completely turned off the phone and connected it to the charger it worked. However as soon as I booted the phone the LED turned off and it only started flashing again when my battery level dropped below 14%. Notifications or charging the phone when it was on did not turn on the LED.
After I read your 'do not disturb' comment I pulled down the notification bar and noticed my quiet hours (Android 4.4.4) was switched on even though I never changed the setting (on from 11pm to 7am). Switched it off and now the light is working fine again.
Sometimes solutions are so easy ...
Hi, every time I try removing apps via gear manager an error stating "Unfortunately, Gear Manager has stopped" I don't even get as far as selecting which ones to delete. I can literally click my apps, click the Bin symbol and it crashes and restarts gear manager
Has anyone else had this issue or know how to resolve it

Same problem here. Everything was fine until I ran the root gear 2. Was still able to get into 'My Apps' until I rebooted my phone (note 3, effortless custom ROM).
So far, I have uninstalled, reinstalled gear manager, re-paired gear 2 bluetooth, factory reset g2, etc.
Still no access. Still looking into it. Let me know if you figure something out..

No problem, sorry to hear you're having the same problem, mine occurred after putting a custom ROM on my phone, but then reverting back to stock, ever since, the only solution so far is to look to see if some of them can be removed under Application Manager which some can, but still leaves a lot of unused apps on my gear 2, which eventually will just fill up. Do you know if there's a way of looking through the files of the watch and simply deleting the .apk file and any other files that may be used? Thanks

If you mean the actually reset the watch and phone then that doesn't work
If you mean factory reset then that may be the answer and thank you if it does work
However it would be nice to know the actual reason in the first place why this happened and not just a work around
