Hello all,
I am having some issues with the 3G connection with my Dream that started a few weeks ago. There are times when it works just fine and I am able to use apps/maps/browser with no difficulty what-so-ever. Then out of no where it will stop working. I will have 3 or 4 bars, and it says I am connected at 3G, but only outgoing ('Up') arrow on the status bar lights up, while the incoming ('Down') arrow will not light up at all. Then finally after various wait times (2 to 10 minutes) the '3G' will disappear and light back up as if the radio is resetting and will work again for a few minutes before repeating the same process over again. If I enable the 2G only connection it works just fine. I do not see any pattern or correlation to this disconnect. I have tried wiping, reformatting the SD and re-flashing my phone with no help...
Any ideas? TIA
ROM: Cyan 4.0.4 Stable

Try airplane mode when this problem occurs.

You mean enable airplane mode and then disable it again to reset the connection? I just tried it...did not help. Still sending information out but not downloading anything in return...

it could be your phone
but also it could be 3g service in your area.. it could be unstable or weak..
i.e. i get terrible 3g service in my nearest mall,but 2g works fine.
but in my house my 3g service is almost perfect.
R u using a datasim or not??
Check with ur telecom operator. Sometimes u need to be using a data only sim to be using 3g on the g1. It happened to me. Otherwise there might be some apn settings wrong or missing.
Thanks for the reply guys. I thought it could be the 3G in my area but I have had my phone for well over 6 months now and it has worked great at my house. I know t-mobile is still working on their 3G roll-out so it could be that as well. I really hope it is not my phone but with my luck...who knows...
As far as the datasim, I am not sure. Like I said, I have had my phone for 6+ months and 3G used to work just fine. Is there any way I can tell by looking at my T-mobile SIM to see if it is a datasim or not?
My G1 is doing the same thing!
I am in Atlanta and i have been noticing the same exact problem. I am also noticing that i am suddenly getting mobile versions of websites that i usewd to always get the full web version. I am on cyan 4.1.7. Not sure if it is the rom or the service but nonetheless i am experiencing the exact same problem.
Weird stuff... I am in Los Angeles in case people are wondering.

if you want to take more precautions..
u can go to a corporate tmobile store and ask them to replace your sim card. its just something basic. some sim cards go bad. i had to replace mine twice.
if you go to a booth in the mall or whatever they may charge u $25. in a corporate store,its usually free.
or you can call tmobile and ask them to take off your data plan and then add it cak on again.. this again is a basic troubleshoot for data related problems..
and if it is your phone(i assume you bought ur phone from tmobile) you should have a 1 year warranty. tmobile might exchange or call htc... all you really have to do is pay shipping.

Awesome, thanks for your help. I have had to replace my SIM card a couple of times as well with previous phones but that was due to MMS problems. I didnt think of 3G/SIM problems but I hope that is it. Thanks again!!
I went to the T-Mobile store today and they said that a lot of people have come in with the same problem. So apparently it is a problem with the 3G network here in Southern California (at least the area I live in). I am grateful it is not my phone or the ROM but still kinda ticked off I gotta deal with it until the issue is resolved...

Ask them to reimburse you for the downtime
i too have been having the same problem as the original poster!
out of nowhere my 3g starts acting really funky and only the up arrow flases but it doesnt download anything. i hope this is a problem with the 3g network in los angeles otherwise idk what ima do.

whenever this happens.. it usually means that ur in an area that has weak 3g. i.e. i get weak 3g service in my nearest mall.
or ur areas 3g network is bugging up. but most likely its the first one ^
im having the exact same problem. been having it for a week or so. i thought maybe it was a bug in cyans roms but its not. i will lose 3g connection but i have a full connection and only the uplink arrow is on. this is really pissing me off. i live in los angeles and its been having 3g for a while now and i have never experoenced issues like this with 3g
My phone out of nowhere started doing this really fun thing where it drops to roaming at random. From what I can tell, the phone is not making a handoff to the next tower to avoid the roaming. For example, if I'm sitting under a tower with full 4G, everything is fine. If I have 2 bars, it will work in 4G for a while before dropping to 3G roaming. I am able to force it back into 4G by dropping in and out of Airplane mode.
I'm running the official CM11 4/30 nightly (I was on the March Snapshot until this started happening).
First I used some Google-Fu and found it's most likely a bad SIM. I swapped SIMs with my wife, she was stuck in 3G roaming, awesome! Went to Verizon, the switched the SIM, all good, right? Nope, I didn't notice it right away, left the store and thought all was good until I needed to use internet at work.
Next, I thought it was software, so I created a backup, and dirty installed the newest CM11 nightly. No change, so I did a full wipe and install. No luck.
So next I thought maybe the radio was corrupted, so I tried to update the radio, which didn't go so well. I got stuck in a boot loop and had to sideload the old driver and reflash. So I'm back up but still having this problem. I'm thinking my only thing I can do at this point is to go to stock and see if the updated radios make a difference.
I saw another guy is had the same problem, but he had his phone replaced. I'm not sure if that will work for me since I purchased via Swappa (I do have Asurion insurance though).
So what help do I need?
1) Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
2) Are there any good instructions out there for how to flash to stock?*
3) Are there any good instructions on how to re-root and flash back to a custom ROM once taking the newest OTA?*
*Most of the instructions I've found have been pretty confusing and use a lot of acronyms without explaining them. I'd be willing to write some cleaner instructions for a sticky if someone would be willing to help me out with any questions I have.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate any help offered.

Get anywhere? I'm experiencing the same. Roaming all the time. Going to revert back to stock 12b and see what happens.

I'm fairly certain it's hardware. I spent a day using my Galaxy Nexus - full 4G the entire day.
I went back to stock, "bricked" my phone about 3 times doing it (quotes because it was salvageable, but I had a couple hours where I was googling like a madman worried I dun ****ed up). Stock and the new radios made no difference. In fact, with stock it would only go to 4G if I restarted it - airplane wouldn't even bring 4G back. Figure that one out.
I went to the VZW store and I'm basically screwed. I can call LG and see if they'll replace it or use Asurion. Since I got the device off Swappa, they cannot replace it. They tried to order me a new one, but the system wouldn't let them. I don't really have time to call LG, so I'm probably going to Asurion it. Their process is stupid simple to do and they'll have a phone to me the next day. Then I can spend all day tinkering with it and getting CM11 back on, which I feel like I'm an expert at right now.
Sorry, wish I had better news. If you got the device from VZW, go to the store after flashing to stock. They might want to try swapping your SIM first though, so make sure you go to a store that has decent 4G coverage in its surrounding area.

Thanks dude. I think you are right, flash stock and get a new sim first. I have a hard time believing its a hardware problem. I just wrote this in the other post about roaming:
"Same exact problem here. I was on the phone with Verizon last night. I was running cloudy pro 2 (all his roms for that matter as they are international roms) and kept getting the roaming issue you speak of...with 3g. I went back to 11A completely bone stock. Just like you mentioned, I get 4g but then after like 10 minutes I get 3g with roaming. Of course this is after I spent 30 minutes on the phone with tech support. They 'zapped' my sim card and it appeared to work but no dice. Now before doing all this I downloaded build prop editor and changed the ro.build.target_country to US versus COM as everyone suggested in all the forums, still no dice. I've tried the toggle airplane mode trick...works for like 5 minutes and back to 3g roaming. I think maybe a new sim card and avoid international roms...bummer because cloudys roms are blistering fast. Interesting thing though, I installed xdabebbs rom and malladus' rom, after already running cloudys roms, and get 3g but no roaming. I also verified that Verizon wasn't throttling me or something like that. One more thing I tried is reflashing the basebands and 24A modem, no dice. If there is a build prop fix or some other fix I'd love to hear it.
Edit: One think I'd like to mention. When I had an S4 I switched between stock roms and AOSP roms and the network settings were responsible for causing the roaming because the stock rom was an older build than the AOSP. So when I had roaming, I'd reflashed the AOSP rom, changed the settings then flash the stock rom. It worked great. "
Edit#2: Ok making a little progress. Just did this:
Get a build.prop editor from the play store, and change ro.carrier to VZW and ro.build.target_operator to VZW and ro.build.target_country to US.
Initially it worked but when I make calls it gives me Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped and I cant make calls. I went into Settings, Apps, reset app preferences...that didn't fix it either.
4G/LTE is pretty solid now but again, I cant make calls.
Edit#3: Nevermind...roaming again.

Alright, so, I have some interesting news.
I got a replacement device from Asurion - not just a replacement, a brand new device out of the box. I pulled it out of the box, swapped the SIM, same exact issue .
I went to Verizon and *****ed up a storm. They basically said "you bought it on eBay, not our problem" (I actually did Swappa - but they don't know Swappa and they do know eBay).
So I got the guy in the store to do some digging, and apparently Verizon has a point opened up with LG as they're seeing this on more and more devices - especially since KK came out. So I figured I could try an older radio. The device was on 12B when it arrived. I just flashed stock to 10B and it's the same issue. I don't know what's going on at this point - nothing makes sense but its apparently a known issue that's been appearing since the KK update.
I'm going to call Asurion and request a new device again since this one is doing the same thing, we'll see what happens. I'm still leaning towards hardware and thinking there was a slew of bad radios that went out.
Just for giggles - and I have no reason whatsoever to think this will work. I'm going to swap out the new SIM that came with the phone. Originally, I just put in my old SIM since the new one was taking too long to activate. I'm having the exact same issue I had previously. With that, I'm going to leave the new SIM in and see if it has the same dropping issue. The guy in the store had mentioned he could swap out the SIM but after a few days it will crap out again... which makes zero ****ing sense. Because of that, I might as well see what happens if I pop a new SIM in. While again, this makes 0 sense, I'm wondering if maybe the phone is frying the SIM somehow?
Again, it makes no sense at all, but I have nothing else left to try other than getting Asurion to repeatedly send me phones until I find one that works or they replace for another type of phone (which I REALLY don't want). I'll drop an edit in an hour or so if what I try makes a difference.
Quick Edit:
I COULD just keep going to the VZW store and have them repeatedly swap out SIMs since it will fix it for a few days .
EDIT:
Got the new SIM installed and it's working. The guy in the VZW store told me that we can keep swapping SIMs and the same issue will happen, which again, makes no sense to me. I'm at a bit of a loss to be honest. I wonder if it's possible that my old device was frying the SIMs (again, makes no sense) and that maybe the new SIM not going in my old device will fix the issue.
What ROMs are you running? A phone frying a Sim does not sound likely at all. I got my new sim card and have been running xdabebbs ROM with no network issues. I feel like my issues stemmed from the Intl ROMs.

The only ROM I've ever run was CM11.
Same thing happened on stock though after flashing through the LG Flash Tool. Then, with the new phone from Asurion, used old SIM - 3G only. Used new SIM - 4G sticks.
Anyone have a fix for this? On Verizon and after almost 4 weeks I have lost my cellular service and data. I noticed when I went to check up on my phone right now that it was finishing a boot-up screen and then never had any bars at the top. Dug deeper and found no service at all. Wiped dalvik and cache and seemed to be bars for under a second and then gone. I am on sensei kernel and am thinking about doing a factory reset and reverting to stock kernel. But I really don't want to lose the benefits it came with.

Well, this is odd. After a month of perfect service, I suddenly cannot get LTE, only 3G. Even nandroids of prior ROM's will not boot into LTE. Is VZW LTE down or should I do a total clean reformat? i do have factory images and everything is backed up. Just a pain.
Very strange. I was flashing various ROM's (CM 12 based - am testing for someone) and at one point pulled out SIM and replaced it. I checked to make sure it is seated right since then. Again, no longer get LTE.
Was on Sensei kernel as well. Let me try flashing stock kernel from ROM first. EDIT: NOPE! Flashing the stock kernel from the ROM did not do it. Looks like total reformat/flash is next!

I just got my Nexus 6 and I am also on Verizon and had the cell coverage drop too. I backed up my apps with titanium backup and did a factory reset and signal came back. I only had it for a day and went to Canada and on my way back to the US I noticed the cell bars were gone. I was just rooted and boot loader unlocked and otherwise stock. I read online that others had this issue when they got to places in the US that had little or no signal. I also noticed that under cellular network settings it loads up with Global under the preferred network type even though it has an option for "LTE (recommended)" and if you choose LTE, global is never an option again until you do a factory reset and it loads with it pre selected. With global selected it works perfectly with calls and LTE, so not sure what that means or if my selecting LTE made it drop the signal after going back from Canada.
Yep, total flash of factory image fixed it. Sigh. Early enough in the day for me to get everything set up again.
Same. About to do it too... I've done too many factory resets with this already. Kind of annoying.
I am in the same boat. Had no problems until I flashed bliss 1.5 then was stuck on 3g. Tried a clean flash of Slim and still stuck on 3g. I will try a stock rom but I am not very hopeful at this point. It's looking a like a reformat here as well :/
Ended up having to format everything and start from scratch again. I'm running a stock ROM now and in weary to try another cm ROM
Don't know if it'll help, but try LTE Discovery app in the Play Store. I use it from time to time to reset my data connection.
Having the same issue, running CM12 daily, have been for a week or so. Midday today it drops LTE, 3g data was working, then a few minutes later to no data. I didn't change anything, nothing new installed. I did reboot the phone at some point before this but that is all...
My only fix was to backup via trwp, restore stock rom, factory reset, reboot & let sim activate, then restore cm12 via twrp... it's a 20-30 min fix all said and done.... pita
Maybe its something Verizon is doing, because I didn't change anything and then next thing you know no data. I hope it's a simple fix for CM12 but I see this popping up more the last few days. Hopefully someone will figure it out. I like CM and prefer it over stock but I am not going to do this multiple times a day just to keep CM...

I just checked and global is still an option for me. I've bounced back and forth, looking to see if anything changes..
Same thing has happened to me last night, lost connection to VZW cell and data. Looking at the field test menus, it seems like the SIM/device understand GSM but NOT CDMA anymore. So I believe the issue has something to do with that. Tried everything, but will nuke and repave most likely....also lost Global as well. and LTE Discovery shows GSM stuff nothing for CDMA
Tried the SIM in another device and it works so its not the SIM.
OK I tried a world of things to recover like some of you may have....its something in Userdata because if I flash everything but userdata it wont work. I am going to try and recover from the backup I had before this happened to see if that works....otherwise rebuild from scratch
will post back
UPDATE: So restoring a backup seems to be ok once you get the SIM back.
Having the same issue over here as well... After a month or AI of having the 6, now I randomly drop service where I would normally have full LTE. I almost NEVER get LTE now and am at most on H with a couple bars then it drops out again. Have also.noticed WiFi connection is very shakey.
Any one find a fix?
I had an issue where i couldnt get my phone to connect any network. Took me long rime to realise, that entering my PIN-number too fast caused the issue xD it unlocked the sim, but didnt let me connect any network... Dunno if this helps anyone, but definetly the most cryptic issue I've ever had.

Troubleshooting my wife's N6 here. Your PIN issue doesn't make sense to me because the phone should be connected to the carrier when locked. Are you talking about WiFi? Because that should be connected too when locked unless settings have been changed from their default (ie, turn off wifi when locked/asleep or something)

I'm talking when you turn on your phone and it asks for pin number to unlock your sim. Some how it seems that if you enter your pin too fast, it bugs the phones radio somehow and you can't connect to your carrier but if you wait like 5sec before entering the pin, it connects to the carrier and the (!) Mark goes away. Try rebooting the phone and see if it helps? Even I think its a weird issue
Edit: OK, just pinpointed MY issue. I have to wait for the "no service" text to change into "emergency calls only" before entering my pin or I don't have any service just the exclamation mark :/

Thanks. I told her about it and she will give it a try, or just remove the pin altogether as a test. It is a weird issue. She is missing important calls from her elderly parents at night and it is rather frustrating. Turning wifi off also seems like a bad fix.
Hello everyone,
Informations
Phone : Nexus 6
ROM : Euphoria OS 1.0 with included kernel
I have a little problem with the phone network...
I have just install the ROM (3days ago) and everything worked fine.
After the first reboot, I had a network problem: no more network (just phone)
Bluetooth is OK,Wifi also ect...
No extra apps installed.
Any idea?
Thanks
Edit : French phone/network (FreeMobile)
I am having issues over here also. My data randomly stopped working on my way down to memphis, randomly would start to work again. I tried a new rom, it slightly got better, but would cut out of data every 5 min. Kinda got it better by switching to tmo in the apn's. Now just installed sinless, and it is no longer working again.
So, same problem and no fix...? :/
Holy cow! I thought I was the only one! I mean this problem really sucks(and I have wasted a lot of my hours trying to fix it), and have been thinking of creating a thread on this problem until I saw yours.
Okay let me start with what I'm on:
N6: 64gb blue
Rom: Stock
Rooted: Yes
Any other modification: No, only think I did was unlock and do chainfire su root.
Network: VZW
I have had this phone since Dec with no issues other than random reboot every so often.
Now to the problem I had, I went out to the middle of MO for a weekend get away (on Feb 14th). The whole time I was out there it showed 1x even though I was still getting LTE speed. Didn't think much of it until we moved further into the hilly parts of MO were I lost service. Thought it was just where we were at, and thought it would come back once we got back to the hotel we were staying at. It never did. It would say "No Network found" only allow 911 calls.
Spent the next 4 days working With VZW with several trips to the store, and talking to tech support. They made sure my IMEI was not blocked on their side. We used several sim chips, they would all do the same thing, quickly connect then disconnect and go back to no service.
So I did a factory reset, still didn't help. I finally did a fastboot flash of 5.0.1 stock again, this fixed the issue. Until I used titanium backup to restore my sys setting. Then it would drop and not reconnect after the reboot. So I did fastboot flash again and it hasn't happened again since last Thurs. I just restored my app's again to make sure it wouldn't fail to connect over the weekend, and rebooted several times. No issues so far, but I called Motorola and they are RMAing me a new one, because I don't have any trust in this one anymore. They are out of 64gb ones, and they will get back to me in a week.
Questioned to anyone who has gotten a RMA from Motorola:
Are their "like new" replacements okay? I got a few from them when I had my droid x, and they were crap. So I wasn't sure if that is still the same for the N6 or not. I have a feeling its not, but just wanted to get other peoples input on that process.
Thank you for creating this thread, and for everyone's time!
Edit: Had the same issue network wouldn't work, however WIFI, Location, Bluetooth would.
Check your APNs..... make sure you are on the correct one, and that both of APN protocols say IPv4.

APN is for Internet(3G) and MMS, no?
Because we have a phone network (call & SMS) issues.
On my side, APN are OK, but still don't work...
Edit: New !
Everything works fine on :
- Paranoid Android 5 Alpha 1
- Chroma (Latest)
But not work on :
- Euphoria
- Stock ROM
Edit 2 : It works now !!
I seen that I had several issues around the APN side. I mean, I can't add APN, sometime I can. Sometimes APN reseted themselves, sometimes it was OK. Then, I had read the solution above: security tab.
I had just remove my 3rd party lockscreen (HiLocker). Restart the phone and voilà ! After the reboot, my phone ask me the pin code, and all APN are here.
I hope it can help...!
Some times I will see the APN settings, and sometimes I won't. Right now I don't. When it does show up it shows VZWINTERNET selected. There are ton of other options, but they don't work either when the problem was seen.
Is what your experiencing data going in and out? I'm on Sprint and I thought maybe it was just an issue with Sprint. I have or need to read up more on APN because it does get bothersome. I even have issues where sometimes my SMS gets hung up for minutes in sending mode before they actually send. Would be nice to have this corrected.

The thanks should go to @Circaflex though... he told me how to fix my issue and thought it could be useful here. I'm glad it was.

No my whole problem was that it would drop and no matter what I would do wouldn't reconnect to the network. I tried a lot of things to fix it (see above). APN would appear and then disappear from the menu. Right now its working on the network as of last Thurs. and APN options is not there.

The APN option will not show for a CDMA Carrier, Sprint or VZW, in your case VZW. APNs are set by the Sim from Verizon so you shouldn't be messing with those, nor should the option show up under mobile network settings.
It was like you. Sometimes network was OK, and sometimes, it was down...
So current working theory is that it was a software issue that cause the problem. I'm just unclear as to why it happened, and how to stop it from occurring again . I do have OpenDNS enabled on the phone, could that cause the problem?
Heres my problem, I'll drop out of an LTE zone, and 3G/HSPA will come on line. Only if its on 3G I never get any data, and sometimes with HSPA too. Not until LTE comes back on line again, but then if I'm trying to stream say music 3G/HSPA wont let LTE take over again for a pretty long while.
Hello. Have any of you experienced total signal loss? (The triangle in the status bar is hollow/empty). This happens seemingly on random and it "fixes" itself in a minute or so, and I can make calls and have mobile data.
Thanks
I have been also facing this issue lately with different roms. In my case, I loose the network and have to reboot multiple times to get the network up. Sometimes because of this, my phone shuts off. Not sure what is happening.
I flashed Dirty Unicorns a few days ago, and signal would drop every few seconds. Turns out the APN was set for MetroPCS, changed it to T-Mobile IPv6 and it fixed it.
I found my issue is related to my network operator. I am not sure why this happening, everytime I reboot or shut it down, I loose the signal and it takes many attempt's to get a connection. It could either be lollipop bug, network compatibility or issue with the device. Will find it out on Monday.
same here
I've been dealing with this same thing for two days. I have Sprint.
I was on Chroma and traveling. I noticed I lost data during my drive. Once I got to the location, my wife had full 3g and I had nothing. I thought it must have been from dirty flashing an update. I wiped and flashed again chroma with the sprint.zip for apn. Still didn't work. I occasionally would connect to 3g but would lose it randomly for long periods of time. I ended up walking around with my verizon hotspot to have data.
I just flashed stock and I've been waiting 10 minutes for it to try to activate. I'm hoping it will work this time. What a mess this phone has become.
It seems like it's a lollipop bug. I tested my sim on a different phone and multiple times, I rebooted without any issues. I wonder if Google messed with lollipop or is it Motorola.

Yeah, even if there the signal bar gets empty, it doesn't interrupt in incoming or outgoing calls Even mobile data works perfectly fine. For me it comes to normal after 5-6 seconds
For me it does interrupt calls and I don't have mobile data. I really hope its a lollipop issue. I guess they can add that as number 1500 to the bug list...
I am currently experiencing that exact same problem no matter which rom I am using. It is really becoming a PITA. Spent 950$ for this POS phone.
Not a lollipop issue.

Few things to explain if you really want to find out what is wrong. Who is your carrier? Or you running stock or modified ROM? Are you rooted? Giving information like this may help you get to the problem. If it were a lollipop issue, don't you think everyone or at least a lot more people would be experiencing the same thing and posting about it???? Come on guys, be a little more precise when posting issues with said device.

Hi,
WIth Fido in Canada. As some others have posted, if I choose LTE (recommended) in Preferred Network Type, I lost my connection every 15 minutes for 1 minute. If I set to 3g, all is fine. I tried the sim in my nexus 5, doesn't happen.
Tried CM and some other AOSP customs roms, always have the problem. Also tried different radios., same problem. I will definitely retry with the factory image soon, but I have strong doubts it's the OS. I contacted Google, they are sending me a replacement phone.
It's insulting to shell out 950$CAD for a new phone, have it bug on you, then have them ship you a freaking refurbished device. I have a 64GB midnight blue from the first Canadian run (I was one of the lucky bastards, or unlucky!). Then they wonder why people buy iPhones...yes they are very limited, but at least the damn thing works.
Almost every single Nexus I have purchased has given me problems (4-5-6-7-7(2013)). The only one that has yet to show me problem is the 9, but that was a gift for my mother, so she won't even notice if things go bad. I am definitely done buying a Nexus device when it is released...lol
Forcing 3G
Hey Guys,
I tried switching from Euphoria OS to Omnirom but no dice.
I deleted all unused APNs and forced 3G connection, rebooted and it seems to be stable for now.
Hope there's a better fix soon.
Got another nexus 6 from Google...same problem. Every 10 minutes LTE drops. POS....
No problems here.. Sounds like a network issue not a hardware problem.
