Constant data drops

So I am currently running bamf 1.6.3 and I change kernals a lot, but one thing I can't seem to fix are the data drops. I live in raleigh, so no LTE, and am running the .7 cdma / .6 LTE radio combo. The data drops off a lot, more noticeable when changing towers. Even sitting at home with good signal it will just drop to 1x and is hard to get 3g back without a reboot. Anybody else see this? No reboot problems

So am I the only one with this issue??

Mine drops 3g and 4g for a second or two and then comes back. It has been happening a lot recently.

At one point in time I would have that happen, it was because of a local tower being screwed up. Maybe switch from eHRPD to the standard 3g network? or vice versa?

Had the same issue with 1.6.3 and went back to 1.6.1 and Im fine again. Ill wait for another version before updating again

Having this same problem but I'm on stock and it only happens while I'm on 3G....nothing but problem since I got this phone....did Verizon and HTC test this phone out? Gps problems,reboot problems,data problems,battery...I'm really sorry I left my carrier for this phone.

the NEW 4g network is going to take some time to get running properly and because of that will have issues as will the phones. Not everything works flawlessly off the bat, give time to get everything settled and figured out and it will get perfected.
With all the radio/prl updates they have been doing I wouldnt be suprised if it is caused from that.

I was having the same problem. Disabling eHRPD has seemed to fix it. I still see strange signal drops, but I'm not seeing data drops at all.

It's not a fix, but rather than rebooting, just turn on airplane mode, wait for the airplane icon to appear, and then disable airplane mode. I have the same issue you describe, so I just keep the airplane mode toggle widget on my second home screen panel.
I'm getting very frustrated with the inconsistent data connection on this phone. I halfway considered trying to get VZW to let me swap it for the Droid X 2 when it releases next week.

I have similar problem. I live in Northern CA with 4G coverage. The problem will be like this:
- 4G works OK, data works
- Moments later, 4G icon shown upload activity (arrow up sign)
- Shortly afterwards, no data. Mail, Google Maps, etc. failed
Fix is to turn Airplane mode OR REBOOT the phone. I have tried switching radio mode (using LTE ON/OFF) but to no avail.
I understand 4G is new and so is the phone, but c'mon.. it has been sometime now and we are STILL paying for the service, even when the 4G network is down (few weeks ago) or when the phone loses data.

This happens to me on stock. Will be using 4G and then all data drops, then comes back, then drops, then comes back and repeats the cycle. Rebooting, airplane mode, nothing helps. Eventually it goes back to normal.

My phone went wacky yesterday. 1x and no data for four hours. Spent an hour on the phone with Verizon tech. We did everything possible and nothing. Then it just fixed itself. Had someone with a Droid X in the same room as me with great EV signal. Now the phone is perfect again. I dont get it . I have enabled REV A and now I put it back and that didnt matter.

Mine as well on 1.6.3 bamf remix. i had to keep going in airplane mode. it was stuck on no service or even the 4g icon (not blinking and no service)

We are Guenna pigs....

Since i have gone to the new leaked gingerbread radio not the latest froyo radio but the new gingerbread i dont have data drops
get it here http://www.multiupload.com/KQCRTNALV9

I too had continual problems with data yesterday (on BAMF 1.6.3) in San Diego. Kept switching from 4G/3G/1x. Today seems to be running smooth.

I'm gonna say thank god I'm not the only one, I don't live in a 4g area, yet there's many times my 3g will do the same arrow thing showing up and than everything fails. I'm running the new radio and perfect storm 1.4

[Q] Losing data/voice connections....

So, my wife bought this phone a couple of months ago, and for the most part she likes it. However, she does have problems with the phone loosing voice and/or data connections. She uses the Sprint Zone to check, and often times one or the other has failed. After the first time this happened, I spent a lot of time with sprint getting the phone refreshed. Eventually we returned it for another one, but are still having the same intermittent problem.
We have found out that putting the phone into airplane mode will reset the radios and it works again, but eventually we loose one or the other.
So, do others have this issue, and if so, what did you do to fix it? I looked around (albeit not as hard as I could have) but I haven't seen much on this....
thanks!

yep, i have this happen sometimes, but haven't found any solution other than what you said: toggling airplane mode. and the issue seems to have persisted thru software updates.... although the latest official asa14 release seemed to be decent, the main problem i had was when switching from cdma/lte to cdma or vice versa, i would have to toggle airplane mode to get it to reconnect.
on the JB soak update, i've seen data seem to be connected, but no data will load at times.

I believe that its been stated that until official lte launch that the different signals will not handshake properly when switching towers, but that may not be your situation.
Sent from my XT897 using xda app-developers app

ok yeah, i believe the launch became official a week or so ago in my area, and the transition does seem to be seamless now.
another thing i see is the 3G icon and signal bars randomly turning white(instead of blue), and no data loading. but to be fair, that is on the JB beta test build..

Thanks for the input! I'm not sure if it's switching towers or not, I think there was at least one time that it was. Denver doesn't have LTE yet (supposedly, the Sprint Call Center in Centennial does, haven't confirmed or denied yet) so I can't test that. We'll be in KC next month, they do and I'm planning on checking it.
I'll keep an eye on it, and report back. Hopefully she gets JB soon... there's a lot of cool things with it I'm showing her she can't do.

I live in the chicago area and we got LTE a few months ago and I did have this issue for a while but as the rollout of the new equipment went along and more towers were updated i had it less and less. Dont seem to have it at all anymore.

Cool, thanks! No clue when Denver is getting it, if ever. Could be tomorrow, could be two weeks before 5G is rolled out....

I use s4gru.com to keep track of when rollouts are hitting.
Colorado appears to be Q4 2013 - but I don't think that is going to be accurate, that is just the original plan...

Yeah, I've been watching that site. They have a colorado thread there that I have bookmarked....
I'm just a cynic.

[Q] Stuck on EDGE or GPRS

When I'm on data, my phone is stuck on EDGE or GPRS when it should go up to 3G or H+. I've tried restarting my phone, turning wifi on and off, turning data on and off and made sure my settings looked okay. Any help is appreciated!
Cataclysm 11/26, Franco r14, dalvik patch. And if it's relevant, I'm on Rogers wireless.

I'm not sure but doesn't Rogers use global frequency in which case you need the 821 model?

I've definitely had 3G and H+ on my N5 (abbreviations much?), but it just seems very inconsistent. It'll go from H+ to 3G, back to H+, then cut out completely, then sit on E or G for a while. Just trying to pinpoint the issue because it's getting annoying haha. Perhaps it's the frequency that's screwing it up but that's definitely not my area of expertise. I do have the D820 model if that's helpful.

I'm having exactly the same problem with Fido right now, I tried pretty much everything including
- flashing back the factory image
- tried every modems from the xda thread in the Nexus 5 Android Development section (currently my phone is on the D821 modem but it didn't change anything)
- changing my apn (but it was obvious that this was not the problem since the phone had a edge connection.
I'm really about to call Fido...
Still, I'm kinda glad to see that i'm not alone.

maybe that the data service in your personal area?

Well going back and forth between 3G and H is normal. It picks up H/H+ when receiving/transmitting and goes to 3G when idle to save power.

I called Fido, the technical support told me that they had something that was blocking me from 3G (but he didn't tell me what it was, he just told me that something was blocking me...) I had my beloved H+ back for maybe a whole minute and then it just switched back to Edge network.
All I wanted to know was if many customers have reported the problem or if I were alone...
Maybe if I'm lucky my phone will get back its 3G soon just like you.

I'm still having the issue today.
I called back Fido and they tried different things like desactiving/activing back my line, "updating my line" and more without any success.
Then I called google and told them the problem. They will change my Nexus 5 for a brand new but at the same time I feel like it is a software issue and not an hardward one... Well, we'll see, I never had a problem like that with any other phone before and the Nexus 5 never had any problem with 3G before yesterday.
I haven't tried everything yet, maybe you could try :
If you are in a LTE area, can the Nexus 5 connect itself to this network? Nearest LTE area from where I live is like 40 minutes away, bit too far just for a test.
Try with a sim card from another company like Telus or Bell, is the phone connecting to the 3G network? (I though about this while calling Google..)
Well, hope that the next phone will be ok.
Here are the few pictures just to show you a proof that even when I request a webpage, the phone will stays on 2g only.

Thanks for the update mark1s. Definitely let me know if a new phone fixes anything, although I'm also thinking it's a software problem.
The problem could just be that there happens to be patches of low coverage in the areas we're testing this out, which seems unlikely in big cities. But testing at work seems to have this problem, but testing this at home I pick up 3G and H+ just fine. Odd..

Loss of 4G?

I've been trying to troubleshoot this problem for the past 3 days or so. In a nutshell, I'm on AllainceRom (which I have been since released) and get constant 4G signal. Wake up, head to work and notice no signal at all. I check and my mobile data was shut off, so connected it. It gets a connection...3G. Turn on/off airplane mode and still 3G. Borrow friends sim card, boot it up and it's 4G. Figuring it's the sim card, I buy a new one. Call Verizon to activate it, BAMM 4G is back. Within 2 minutes after the phone call, it loses signal, then kicks back on, 3G again. I would hit airplane mode on/off and 4G would pop out and all of a sudden it would go back to showing nothing,then revert to 3G again. Any ideas of what can cause this? I'm baffled. I even downloaded the MF1 versus ML1 and it still shows 3G. My download speeds, a blazing 2 megs. Almost feel like I've been throttled or something for some reason.

Has your phone been working fine before and this just started happening over the past few days? Also do you only lose 4G in certain areas?
I know that it is recommended to flash the ML1 modem on any 4.3 based ROM because of potential 4G issues.

This might sound odd, but I think somehow they are throttling me. I'm on the grandfathered unlimited plan. What's odd is that I can take an old sim card (from Thunderbolt), basically cut it to the same size as my S3, reboot and 4G is constant (this phone is part of my dummy line so limited to 2gigs per month). Take out that card, put in new one, it boots up and has like 4 bars while searching for signal, then drops to like 3 and connects to 3G again constant.
4G has been constant here for the past 2 years, Verizon tech support confirmed no outages. My wife and son have unlimited as well, but iphone 4's with 3G coverage. Thinking my unlimited 4G is getting knocked down for some reason.
I tried a new rom, Clean Rom and same results with signal quality. Just odd it happening all of a sudden with no changes.
Also, with my thunderbolt 4G sim card, mobile network type was listed as LTE. With the brand new sim card they activated, it's showing "CDMA -eHRPD", as it was showing with my old card.

I doubt you are getting throttled. Unless you are using up 100+ GB a month constantly. If that was the case you can call tech support and ask if you are. I'm pretty sure they would have to tell you if they were.
Was there something specific you did to your phone before this started happening? Have you tried different ROMs or re-flashing Alliance?
If you've exhausted all options I think something is borked and you need to reprovision. To do this you would need to ODIN to a stock 4.1.2 base and enter the reprovision code into the dialer (*2767*3855#). This will wipe your internal data so I would back up anything you need first. Once you do that you can re-root and flash a custom recovery then flash back to whatever you want.
Just make sure you don't take the 4.3 OTA if you return to stock unless you want to re-lock your bootloader.

That's the odd thing, nothing was changed prior to this switching to 3G, like it happened all of a sudden. I checked my usage and I'm at 19 gigs this month (yeah I tether a lot).
I tried beanstalk rom (4.4.2) and something odd happened. In preferred network type, under CDMA+LTE/EVDO I would get 3G. If I switch it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA 4G would pop up, but no mobile data so unable to make phone calls. With this rom, I would insert my old thunderbolt sim card and 4G all day long again with no issues.
I guess the only option would be to revert to stock and start all over in hopes it'll switch back. I was hoping it was just the icons jacked up, but at 3G my d/l speed was 2 megs, at 4G it would hit 12-14 megs.

If other SIM cards are working correctly, it can't be anything wrong with the phone. I would either go to Verizon and keep asking for new SIM cards until you get one that works, or try to reprovision like I explained earlier.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm rocking stock 4.0.4. now and still only have 3G service. Guess I'll just keep it like this and hit up the Verizon store and have them figure it out since it's stocked back out.

I was experiencing similar issues as you this morning. After an hour of the nice lady at tier 1 tech support telling me to erase everything on my phone and that it was probably bc I was talking to her on the phone while trying to fix it I reached a resolution upon calling back. I was sent to a higher tier tech support and they told me that my data was being throttled and it was directly related to my high data usage.
Confused I asked her how that was possible bc they aren't suppose to throttle LTE. She said there is a problem with their system and instead of only throttling 3G, it was now throttling LTE data. She explained this is a nationwide issue and that some people she has talked to have been experiencing trouble with this issue since March 23rd!!
Similar to you I tried another phone, my nexus galaxy only to experience the same problem. The only thing that worked for me was switching my network mode from LTE/CDMA to Global. I could then tether Netflix and use the data connection without being impeded. However, certain functions like my email (gmail and yahoo) and verizon cloud services would say network error or network communication error.
Strangely tonight my phone seems to be back in working order, I'm not sure if its just because there is no network congestion so I'm not being throttled and it will return or if the issue has been actually fixed.
Now that I think about it, it's possible the tech was wrong and it's a CDMA to lte handshake issue they are having which would explain why global mode would work? It maybe that they upgraded the towers to lte advanced in my area causing these types of issues but hard to confirm any of this with verizon being so tight lipped about what areas have lte advanced.

Replied to your post, I'll update once I get back from Verizon.

Shield LTE on T-Mobile issue.

Just got my Shield LTE today. This is my first tablet ever as well as my first unlocked device ever so I've never really had to mess with APN settings before. Long story short, I can connect and get HSPA+ ok but the speeds suck and no LTE at all. My Galaxy S5 can pick up LTE fine and get around 50Mbps down, but the Shield gets only about 5 down on HSPA+. When I search for network operators, my only choices are T-Mobile (2G/3G) and AT&T (2G/3G/4G). Any ideas as to why it can't find T-Mobile LTE network?

Does your phone work with LTE in the same spot? I got my tablet yesterday and moved the TMO SIM from by iPad to the Shield. Got LTE right away without doing anything with APNs. Depending on where you are, TMO LTE coverage is spotty.

Yes. My Galaxy S5 gets about 3 bars on LTE while sitting right next to my tablet that only has 2 bars on 3G. Just got off the phone with T-Mobile and they said they could see me connect to the LTE network and I did see LTE come up on the Shield for a moment but then it almost immediately dropped back HSPA+. I think its an issue with the tablet itself. I'm on hold with Nvidia now.

I'm still trying to get my Shield LTE activated on T-Mobile for the 200 MB free data for life deal. T-Mobile told me that their system saw the Shield's IMEI as a phone, not a tablet, and to bring it into a store so they can see that it is indeed a tablet.

The APN Settings came down by default for me and appeared correct with what I've searched online, but I'm having the same issue where I'm not getting LTE here in the PHX market, in all the places my phone gets full healthy LTE.
I don't want to complain about my H+ signal, but it's just not cutting the mustard if you will.
You find/hear anything useful here Hoju?

I'm seeing the same issue With LTE/Tmobile alsnly HSPA+

I've been in contact with Nvidia support since last week and they have had me send them numorous diagnostic files and bug reports. From what I can tell, the Shield is using NVIDIA
's Icera i500 modem which can be thoroughly tweaked through software updates. I'm hoping this issue can be resolved with such an update. Nvidia level 2 support told me that I was the first case of this reported, so I urge everyone suffering from this issue to contact support so they can see that the problem is not an isolated incident. I'm hoping to hear back from them today regarding this. I will update the thread when I do.

T-Mobile setup my imei number as an iPad to activate sim and didn't give me the pin, called T-Mobile and got it fixed, the pin turned out to be 1234, once he fixed the imei and changed pin, internet started working well and LTE is working as well. Also logged into T-Mobile.com/connectme I'm not sure if that's required but that's where you can buy more data. Hope that helps someone

Hi there, T-Mobile retail dealer here. I've tried 4 different T-Mobile sim cards (2 $50 simple choice plans, 2 $70 simple choice plans) along with 4 of their MVNO's sim cards (Univision Mobile, Straight Talk, Ultra Mobile, Lyca Mobile) and they all had LTE.
With all of the T-Mobile sim cards, the standard APN that's loaded in (fast.t-mobile.com) works perfectly for me.
For the MVNOs, using their respective APNs allowed for LTE, while using "fast.t-mobile.com" on those services only gave me HSPA+
I'm also located right outside of Philadelphia. Not really a populous area but we have good coverage with T-Mobile around here.
Hope this helped.

I also just added ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0 to my build.prop, result so far is stable connection on h+. Without that it was flipping between 3g and h+ constantly and connection was unstable. ive been streaming music and it did change back to 3g, but not back and fourth like before, ill keep an eye on it.
maybe i spoke to soon, i still see it switching. Ill update after some more testing if this did anything or not for me.

Not really, guess it was a placebo effect at first and just happened to stay on h+ for a while. from what i have read over the last few days is that on t-mobile's network it switches to 3g to save battery. I just removed the line i added, streaming music right now and just got a drop out. If someone knows or comes up with a way to force it on h+ I would happy, i could care less about battery savings if i just have this thing on my desk plugged in all day.
I got some time today, going to try staying off of wifi all day and see how it acts, might try a couple things if i can find some other options to test. if i find something ill let ya know.

Thanks for the response. I ended up exchanging mine with a new one that I just received last night. Right now I'm still testing and hopeful it will shape up, mine would drop from H+ to Edge, I do get LTE from time to time but it's very sparse. So far the replacement is doing well but i'm more and more convinced this is a radio issue as the tablet was really certified on AT&T. I've filed a ticket on my old one with Nvidia, no eta on a fix. Anyone that's seeing this go through nvidia support and file a ticket. Hopefully they can get it fixed in the next OTA.

I, too, only get H+ signal from TMO on my Shield. While it's normally fast, it sometimes drops and goes to E(DGE) or none at all.
EDIT: TMO could find nothing on their end via online chat. I'm going to test the SIM in another LTE device, and see if its a SIM issue. Waiting to hear back from NVIDIA. Really hoping our coming-soon 5.0 update fixes this!
EDIT 2: I just heard back from them that the TMO issue is an open bug "and will be fixed in a future update".

shield vs lte?
Yours at least connects, mine wont even do that I probably go to local branch again tomorrow if things wont change by the morning. I hope it works, but i cant activate the sim. Shield recognizes the card, under connections it says T-mobile but every time i turn off WiFi and try to activate the sim via cellular data, it keep telling me theres no connection yet i have 2 bars of their signal

So this means that I could but the 30 dollar a month plan? 5GB data, 100 minutes and unlimited texts?

Did anyone that was having a problem with LTE ever get it resolved? I just picked up the LTE version of the Shield tablet and have yet to see LTE and my phone is getting it fine. I hope a solution was found.

Yep, I'd be interested as well. I got that tablet since a few months and have problems with the radio too. I'm running LingeageOS 14.1. The latest few builds didn't even find the sim card anymore. Today I got back to stock rom for testing. Sim card is there, but it loses the radio connection every few seconds.

I just tried T-Mobile: works like a charm. It seems like Vodafone is causing the trouble. I've tried two different SIM cards and have the problem with both. Country: Germany.

Did anyone that was having a problem with LTE ever get it resolved? I just picked up the LTE version of the Shield tablet and have yet to see LTE and my phone is getting it fine. I hope a solution was found.

What LTE band is your phone connecting to? I'm assuming you are T-Mobile? If you're in a band 12 area you might be out of luch as the North American version supports bands 2, 4, 5, 17, 7.
