I just got off the phone with Verizon. My Rezound has 4G, but the Droid4 has no data (but does have voice, and Wifi works). They had me do the following:
- Reboot the phone (did that before calling)
- Pull and re-seat SIM card and SD card
- Clear Browser app data and cache (morons)
- Toggle airplane mode
- Toggle Data roaming
- Safe mode
I also tried toggling CDMA/LTE with CDMA-only on my own, and cleared the cache partition in Recovery.
Nothing I do can get data back. Also, after a reboot none of the text messages she received today are still in the app. Since my phone is working, a network outage doesn't seem likely. The D4 is rooted but no custom ROM.

Thanks, but it didn't change anything. VZW suggested I try a factory reset, will it mess up root? I don't mind rerunnung the script if necessary but I want to make sure it won't break the phone.
One other question is because I am new to SIM cards, could a bad SIM work with voice but not data?
EDIT: Doesn't the 3G still go over CDMA, so shouldn't I have 3g at least, even with a bad SIM?
I have very off and on data. I go to airplane mode and back and sometimes it fixes it. Could b circumstance..I am on my second d4 and it was so bad I had to get on wifi to setup and sync everything on this new replacement ...I'm rooted as well but obviously I wasn't when I did setup and it was bad. I don't think root is to blame. Could b the sim. We r in a good coverage area supposedly.

Voice is still over CDMA/3G, LTE is for data only, and is what the SIM is for.
On your phone do you have the lte logo pop up?
I have been having issues with my d4 which is rooted as well. I have figured out for some reason the APN that controls the internet keeps dropping out however the IMS APN stays connected. When that happens the lte logo stays up but turns white and when the internet APN is connected it turns blue.

There is no signal bar for 3g or LTE. unless you refer to a different symbol?
Some of the Razrs have the same problem. Probably you will need a phone swap, would try factory reset first.
Did you do a restore from titanium backup? If so was it a restore of EVERYTHING? Cause I did that when I got my droid 4 and I had no data or anything once the restore finished. I had to do a full blown factory reset then everything was good again.

I assume you've already tried settings->data manager->data enabled, checked?
My D4 decided to turn this feature off on its own yesterday. I use the Smart Actions app to disable cell data when using a wifi connection and this configuration might have caused some kind of hiccup and not allowed the cell data to come back on when a wifi connection was out of range. I had to hunt around a little after trying most of the stuff you mention above only to find the data enabled, not checked. Simply turned it on and LTE came back instantly.
Good luck.
Verizon tech support told me this is a known software issue with the Droid 4 and advised me to keep the WiFi turned off when I didn't need it. They also said a fix was on the way around the end of July. (This now appears to be ICS, which looks like it might be out very soon.)
From my own use, WiFi appears to be responsible. I can lose my data connection when WiFi is turned on even when I'm not connected just like I was told.
I can also lose data when Notify Me is enabled in settings. This will manifest as losing the data connection when opening an app that uses a data connection, such as the browser. I chalk this up to the phone refreshing the available AP list for which turns on the WiFi, even when it's disabled.
My suggestion is to turn off WiFi when you don't need it and disable anything else that can call it up like the Notify Me setting, Google and Verizon location services, and turn off settings in any apps that might enable it.

I just did the 4.3 OTA update and my WiFi keeps turning on and off on the phone. It loses connection and reconnects once a minute. Any ideas?

Took the OTA yesterday and I am not having that happen to me at all.
No issues here.
UPDATE:
Its not just my Wifi. Its the 3G too. All data drops out and connects again about once a minute. Spent an hour on the phone with Sprint. They tried everything including a wipe and hard software reset and still the issue is there. Only thing I can think of is that they snuck in some optimizing software or something. Either way, I now will need to go to a corporate sprint store. Really do not want to replace this phone that I have had for 27 days with a refurb, so any ideas will be welcomed.

I was having the same issue, do you live in an area with 4G? I don't and I think it was the cause. I think my phone was 'programmed' to think there was 4G around, but there wasn't. I kept seeing eHRPD under network info. I think it might be a 4.3 bug, bc I went back to Viper and it worked fine. Not really sure, but Amazon replaced my phone and now I'm scared to go back to 4.3 and get plagued with the bug again. I also think the new radio gave me issues, so I downgraded to the original radio also
This happened to me, it was a mixture of a damaged N antenna and bad sprint lte performance. Reverting to a g router fixed the problem for me. You should try a different router. Now fixing your regular signal, that's something you'll have a tough time with. I recommend you go to a sprint store and get a replacement asap though, my suggestion is not a fix, just a temporary measure. Curious, did you try the GPE rom by team nocturne? This issue started once I reverted from the TN GPE rom to stock. I think that rom may have damaged my radio/antenna. It's just a far fetched theory but plausible nonetheless. And a risk I took willingly, but still, I'm just curious to clarify if it was tinkering or sh*tty htc components.
I personally think it is just 4.3. I didn't have any issues with 4.1.2 with my WiFi or connectivity. I've even tested it and my WiFi drops like crazy only on 4.3 but is fine on 4.1.2, so I reverted back and haven't had any issues.

I found this just now.. towards the bottom there's a dialer code *#*#4636#*#* if you do that and change to gsm/wcdma/lte (something like that) it resolved my problem with 3G not working. Wifi might be my router
I have looked in the settings and sometimes the power saver will automatically shut 3G of it will not reconnect with a disconnected I switch to LTE / CDMA only have had no issues and also the wifi is meant to do that to conserve battery you should be able to disable the wifi in advance I'm not short just my thoughts

Idk. In 4.3 all my settings were correct (*#*#4636#*#*) and I turned all battery conservation off and my data (3g and WiFi) would cut out intermittently while I was using it. I've tried that on stock and all other 4.3 ROMs, I think it might just be my phone not liking 4.3, but YMMV. Stuck on 4.1.2 until I get the Note 3.
It's a power save feature if you have enabled Power Saver. Basically if you haven't used the connection in a while it turns it off until the next scheduled update check or your screen turns back on.
I have been having the same exact issue and it is driving me nuts. I have problems at home, work and anywhere else I use Wifi so it is not just one router. I have tried numerous 4.3 roms and was about to roll back to 4.1.2 to see if that fixes it.
Was starting to think that I was crazy, glad I saw this post!
I'd hate to be (just kidding, I love being) the smart alec here, but your post title says "Wii turning on and off." I clicked on this thread wondering how your phone update was turning your Wii on and off.
I'm having the same problem after the update. Wifi turns on n off, so will my 3g/4g while I'm using it. Didn't have this problem before the update so I doubt it's hardware related.

Same here. I assumed it had something to do with the fact that they're working on lte in my area.
UPDATE:
At work (50 minutes from home) the 3G and Wifi spots I try are working fine. No strobe connection. But at home both Wifi and 3G blink. I know they are working on the antenna near home, so it must be the issue. Have tried shutting off mobile data while on wifi, tried both wifi antennas at home, can't seem to get the strobe effect to go away.

Yes, I messed up typing Wifi. At least with Wii up there get grabs people's attention.
So my wife's motox decided to stop connecting to my home wifi/cable modem. My phone (LG G2) as well as all laptops/tablets connect fine. My G2 can see about 8 nearby networks, the MotoX always sees my neighbors network and occasionally a 2nd or 3rd but that's about it. If my home network finally shows up I enter the password and it immediately switches to "Out of range" and shows as a Saved network. I enabled the hotspot on my phone and the MotoX still didn't show the hotspot. Here are the things I've tried so far:
- Forget network and readd it if/when it finally shows up as a visible network.
- Cleared cache from recovery
- Rebooted
- Toggling airplane mode
- Disable just data
- Power cycled cable modem. Also Hard reset it and set the network back up.
- Disable wifi optimization, notify when open network is available, as well as the always allow scanning.
- Switched from auto to 2.4 Ghz only.
- Switched between multiple channels on router.
The MotoX is the Canadian version, 4.4.2 stock, unrooted. Router is an awesome Hitron piece of crap but it's been working perfectly fine for months.
Short of doing a factory reset, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

You have already tried everything that I would suggest, short of a factory reset. If you do factory reset, please let us know if it resolves your issue. Since you are not rooted, I'm confused as to how this could happen :/
Good Luck
I am assuming you have already unchecked the "avoid poor connections" option too in the wifi settings.

It was already unchecked so I didn't touch it.
Some routers can't handle certain number of conectinons, try rebooting your router
The router is built in with the cable modem which I've already rebooted as well as reset completely. Also with the phone only able to see a couple of networks at a time when there should be 8 - 10 visible at any time I think the phone is the problem. I just can't figure out what happened.

A few users have randomly had issues with WiFi, and their issues were only resolved by flashing the entire stock SBF as per the "Return to Stock" thread.
If a factory reset does not resolve your issue, you may consider SBFing back to stock. Since you will be flashing the stock rom (with matching CID), this is possible even with a locked bootloader.
Good Luck
I saw some posts about the SBF thing but wasn't sure if that applied to an unrooted / locked device or not. Thanks for the info.

An update for anyone looking for one. Her phone stated working fine yesterday on its own. It picked up and connected to our home network on its own and it can see all of the nearby networks like mine does.
Neither of us have done anything to it yet. Haven't touched the router or her phone since I first posted the problem.
Sorry I don't have an actual solution for you.

Ok so wifi decided to crap out again. This time I did a full wipe (internal storage included) and now wifi doesn't even turn on. It flips to ON for half a second then immediately back to off. Bluetooth does the same thing. I've called my provider (Rogers) and they're sending me another one.
Considering the wifi and bluetooth are on the same chip I guess the whole chip is toast or loose or something. Either way its well beyond a software fix.

You did a full wipe, but did you actually SBF back to stock? As I had commented previously, ONLY a full SBF back to stock can repair a corrupted filesystem. A "Full wipe" just erases cache and userdata.
SBFing actually REPLACES all the partitions. If you haven't tried, you can't say for certain that it is well beyond a software fix. It could have simply been a corrupt file...
Good Luck
If it was my phone I would have tried a SBF but considering it's my wife's she's a big more hesitant to let me and if they're sending us a new one, why bother?
This is very inconvenient. If I disconnect from WiFi or LTE, then reconnect, apps do not detect the netwoork unless I reboot first. Has anyone experienced this problem or have a solution?

Never thought of doing that. I don't think that would be a complete solution though, because on LTE the issue still exists; it is not just a problem on WiFi.
Are you using some extreme power saving options/solutions/aps etc etc ?

Last nite I installed the OTA update of android 9. Since then the problems have been non existant. I will continue to update this post, and try all the tips I have been offered, if the problem returns.
I found the source of the problem. The VPN I use was preventing the apps from accessing the Internet.
I recently bought an used LG V40 but faced with strange problem. First it connect to network and shows LTE (if data is on) but suddenly network is lost then it search and connect again and again and again . . . usually in a few seconds interval.
Also same happens to WiFi network at the same time but if I put the phone in Airplane mode its WiFi keeps alive.
I've noticed the firmware was belong to KT operator so cross flashed an open Korean firmware (V409NO20h instead of V409N20h) so now I have LG logo instead of KT logo at startup but still that problem exist.
While trying different conditions noticed if I toggle Airplane mode twice the network become stable until next reboot!
Do you have any idea what's going wrong?
I have the same problem with my device (LM-V405EB)! I don't have the problem with the WiFi though, and the only way for me to get a stable connection, is by restarting my device. Turning on airplane mode doesn't fix it for me. Sometimes I don't have any data connection at all, even though my data is on. I'll have to restart again, to connect to data. I have the November security patch, but this happened before I got the update.
I really hope that there is a way to fix this, because it's very frustrating, especially when I need to use my data quickly.

Where do you use this phone? it seems the region is South Africa, so did you try to cross flash your own region firmware?
In my phone it seems that's a modem problem!

It is the South African version, which is where I'm from. I'm using the same carrier I purchased the device from, so I shouldn't be having any issues. I've also had my network resynced by my carrier, so I'm not sure what else can be done to fix it, if even a factory reset didn't help.

My APN settings are correct, as I am able to use data. It's just that when I have my WiFi on for a long time, my data connection refuses to connect, until I restart my device.
A network reset, factory reset, APN reset, and avnetwork resync via my carrier, were all tried and none of those worked.
I'm convinced it's a software bug [emoji2370]
