Anyone in the Atlanta area having data issues? I woke up this morning and have no 4G, 3G or 1x. Nada nothing I haven't made any changes to my phone in weeks.
Call VZW and see if there is an outage in your area first.
OK ignore. Battery pull seemed to fix it

My phone has rebooted 4 times since 5:30 eastern. And weather widget is bouncing around town to town. 3g has dropped to 1x once and I haven't left couch.

My 4G dropped out for the first time today (following the fix late last night Eastern time) at about 8:55 pm EDT. I'm in Maryland.
I'm seeing a situation with LTE where the handset can TX, but it gets no RX from the other end. If I force it back to EvDO (over eHRPD, using "CDMA Auto (PRL) in the Network app), I get a solid connection, no dropouts and fairly typical EvDO speeds.
After a good morning / afternoon on LTE, it seems the network (or the handset?!) is fouling up again. Anyone else?

I'm over in Northern VA. This morning i switched and then left it on CDMA + LTE/EvDO auto, and i even re-enabled eHRPD (for the first time in weeks) and got solid service all the way on my commute to work (Springfield to Dulles) streamed internet radio the entire time never dropped out once. After reading on here about people getting 4G back i figured i'd give it a spin. Then later on in the afternoon i started to see the dreaded "Full bars but no data signal" CONSTANTLY and its still going on, then i flip over to CDMA (auto PRL) and switch to Rev. A which ive been using for the most part of the last month or so and i get a FLAWLESS connection. It locks on to 3G and does NOT disappear EVER!
I really hope they get all this straightened out soon. I had decent hopes for the new radio, and i'm getting little result out of it. Until then, i'm perfectly content staying on CDMA (auto PRL), because it works all of the time.
Yes 4g is very sporadic to say the least. I may have a signal with 3 bars, but I'm still unable to use data. This happens like forty percent of the time. 3g s still stable, and I have tried both radios, with the same results.
I am not in a 4g area (yet, this summer though) but my 3G did come back late last night however, its been very touch and go today. Yesterday I thought it was because I had flashed some different kernels and I am a baby at this but then when I read about the outage I realized it actually wast me! I am guessing from the back and forth from 1X to 3G they are still working on it though. Hope its fixed soon. My wifi stinks at home!

somewhat off topic but not deserving of its own thread: ever since i bought this phone the day it came out it seems like 2 bars of lte means you might have a signal, ive rarely seen it with 1 bar on lte, and to get reliable data you need 3 or 4. fairly solid today though, in and around chicago.

I covered a lot of ground today: LA, Chicago, and Connecticut. All with solid 4g while I was in those places.
I'm in the Chicago suburbs and my 4G has been sketchy all day. I've got 4 bars but the speeds aren't up to par.
My 4G has been sporadic. Similar symptoms as others' posted here. 3 bars and no data connection.

I'm in Baltimore as well and have had rock solid 4G all day.
I'm in Indianapolis, and while we don't quite have 4G I did notice something is up with 3G.
Under the menu>settings>about phone>network it shows: CDMA + EVDO Rev A.
Even though eHRPD is enabled.
So I'm still getting neutered 3G (no data+voice simul).
They must still be up to something.
Yeah I switched to eHRPD earlier in day yesterday and was working fine til the evening. I am not in 4g area but fairly close to one, but haven't seen 4g speeds yet. But back on Rev A now.
I just got a "network connection reset by peer" error so must be having some connectivity issues.

Middle Tennessee here,
While at work, I have had in the past a very stable 4G connection. And when I commute back to my home I am outside the range of the nearest 4G market but I've always bounced to the 3G network under the defaulted eHRPD settings with some latency of course. I have had my device since launch and I am running jcase's original custom ruu for root/s-off which has been running just fine.
Since the outage while at my home I am constantly transitioning between 3G and 1X with the occasional dreaded "all bars" and no network connection but if I reboot my device I have a 3G service restored...
Same goes for the transition back from 3G to 4G....commuting back to work, I know I should be acquiring the 4G network while coming to work and the best I get is the 3G network again all while my device is set for the eHRPD modem setting. Now if I reboot my device while in the known 4G market area I get my 4G back....
Still looks borked to me even if the Big Red Boys say that their service is back up....
My phone was switching betwen 4G and 1X and never went to 3G at all. I cannled Verizon and they said that the handoff from 4G to 3G was turned off due to the outage. Apparently the outage had something to do with switching between networks.
He had me do a battery pull which did bring 3G back (restart and airplane mode hadn't helped me). He did say I might get stuck again probably in 1X and to try airplane mode then.
I guess they are still working out issues.
I live in the middle of TN and I was pleased to see my 4G come back today. Just in time, too. I was able to stream the draft almost flawlessly while at work.

Hi all, I have noticed an odd issue on my G2x that is not a huge problem but I wanted to see if any one had any thoughts on this.
First, I have a very old sim card, it actually has the VoiceStream logo on it. And the lock screen actually lists Vstream sometimes, and sometimes it has T-Mobile/VStream.
I've noticed that I get either 4G or 2G, but never 3G. It's even shown G before. I usually get 4G in my 14th floor office in downtown Chicago outside and some parts of my house, 2G in other places. I've tried speed tests downtown, and I got as high as 12mbps, but usually 5-7mbps. I'm just wondering if there is anything that can be done so I get 3G instead of 2G in certain areas.
Thanks
the phone will never show a 3g logo. It will only show 4g and 2g. And for that mattery t-mobiles "4g" is actually HSPA+ which is the upgraded version of HSPA. they are both 3g technology.
My phone has dropped data randomly two times this morning. I could only get it back by doing a switch to airplane mode. Anyone else with this problem? Is this a phone issue that I need to get a new one?

Mine has dropped several times. when coming to and from work. It seems to always happen when it connects to wifi. when i leave work and its wifi, i lose all signal entirely.
I don't use wifi though that's the thing. I called ATT and they said it may need a new simcard......which this was. So I swung by and got one and the lady at the store said that my phone may be going bad! LOL wow I love how they train their people.
YES. Most definitely, this is the same problem I'm experiencing. I had another thread posted about how the 4G icon was lit but there was no signal. The icon now seems to be a little more accurate...But still.
At home I switch on WiFi so I don't run up my data but if I look at the settings for mobile network the status underneath in gray text keeps showing that it connects and disconnects. Endlessly. The phone isn't moving. My wife has signal on her iPad and iPhone (I know those are 3G).
I have to turn on airplane mode and then off...Then mobile network on and it seems to help a little. However it's still super spotty.
This is pretty much only indoors but I don't know. I'm going to go around town and try it out. On their coverage map I'm in a big zone of LTE coverage. Outside I have seen 30Mbps on LTE using speedtest.net app. So I don't know. I thought it was very odd given the houses here in CA don't exactly have super thick insulation and every other cell phone (Sprint, my wife's on AT&T, etc.) seem to be AOK. It's just this new One X that just can't stay connected to the 4G.
Going under settings > about > network ...
I see my signal strength....some readings are...
-109 dBm 4 asu
-101 dBm 6 asu
-107 dBm 2 asu
I have no idea what values I should be seeing - what is considered good?
Mobile network type says HSPA. Service state says in service. Icon up top is 4G with one bar. If I turn off WiFi I could not load a web page or anything. That's what annoys me. I usually see like 2 bars and that's fine...But if I see the damn bars and the 4G icon....I sure as hell expect the data to work, even if a little slower.
It's just SUPER flaky. Again outside seems to help but to be honest I haven't sat and watched it. For all I know it could be connecting and disconnecting over and over outside as well but just have a stronger connection when it is actually "on."
I'm annoyed and speechless. I'm not in the boonies. I've never experienced anything like this before. I'm actually at my desk in front of a window. Uh...WTF?
Just picked up lunch and watched the data while on the trip.
This phone is unusable. It's gotta go back. Well, I guess it's welcome back Sprint. Sooooo disappointed.
All I got was HSPA. The only time I get LTE and those fast 30Mbps down is at night time. AT&T is such a joke and their network is NOT ready for this phone.
I'm in Palo Alto, CA. It's not the middle of no where. This is embarrassing. Either that or somehow I have a defective phone or SIM card or something I have no clue here...It's really really bad and I'm obviously not the only one.
3 days and it's been horrible, the only reason why I didn't notice sooner is because I've been using the phone on WiFi most the time.

how fast is the HSPA you're getting?
1-3.56Mbps down and 0.04-1.03Mbps up.
Out on the street downtown.
Best I've ever had was at night on LTE 30Mbps down and like 17Mbps up.
All to the same test server. Trying servers several states away it varied, sometimes I'd even see 20Mbps down to a far away server.
Again this is all WHEN I'm actually connected to the data network.
The thing just can't hold a connection. Constantly dropped.
edit-- ok so right now same time of day, servers, etc. Sprint's 3G is a little slower, but at least I'm not getting dropped.
and on a side note, i got a REALLY helpful lvl1 tech support lady on the phone. much better experience than i thought. there was an issue in the area before. but basically i'm going to give it another shot. if no good tomorrow, swap for a new phone. they'll call me back friday and we'll see... crossing my fingers.
Any update on this? I've got a new One X and work night shifts twice a week. I've notived tonight that the data drops when the phone is idle and obviously nothing pushes.
There's got to be a way of turning this off. I can see why HTC would call it a feature, but there has to be a flag or a switch somewhere....
Today I went from Houston, TX to Waco, TX and had a strong 3g signal in most places and the occasional lte. However, when I got to Waco, my signal dropped to absolutely no data whatsoever when I would normally have lte. I can call and text just fine, but data is gone. I've done countless reboots, airplane mode toggles, network mode switches, profile/prl updates, but nothing gets data back.
Has this happened to anyone before, or has anyone happened to be around Waco today and have the same thing happen?

I'm experiencing a similar issue in NYC with my data connections dropping constantly. Even though I know my issue is the phone itself as even my wifi will not stay connected. All of my connections may stay on for a few minutes, maybe even a half hour, but then the icon disappears and the connection is gone. Then it will come back, usually within 5 minutes, only to disappear again shortly after.
No clue what's going on, I'm running stock, haven't rooted. I did install the new update recently, but I'm fairly sure it was happening before that, I just assumed it was poor service from the hurricane damage tho.
If it wasn't for your wifi, I'd say it would have been from the hurricane.
The problem for me is that my wifi is fine, and I usually have a great signal is most places in Waco. I usually drop down to 3g in buildings or roam when I go below ground (for a class, etc), but I've never had an entire loss of signal like this. It could be possible Sprint is working on a tower here, but you'd think they'd have more than one tower to govern the data for the entire city.
I think if my data isn't back by tomorrow, I'm visiting a Sprint store to see what's up. Until then, I'm just glad I live on campus and my university has wifi all over the place.

This is not entirely related, but I wanted to throw it in somewhere: yesterday I was in a different city, in a part of town that apparently has a very poor Sprint signal. I put my phone down, and when I picked it up 10 minutes later, it was SUPER hot, hotter than a phone of mine has ever been. It also drained around 15% battery in those 10 minutes! I guess it was from constantly trying to connect to the network, and I don't think it was even 3g.... But I've been in poor service areas and have never seen a phone get that hot before.
Well, I feel stupid. Apparently, when I was turning my GPS off with my toggles, I hit toggle mobile data on accident. Silly me.

I was in an area with really spotty coverage. Its in the middle of LA by Hollywood but for some reason Verizon's signal is very weak on this street. I was trying to use the internet on my phone and watched as the signal meter went first from 4g to 3g then switched back and forth between 3g and 1x to no data signal at all. In the meantime my phone was getting really hot. I would reboot and the phone and it would still get hot again while I guess trying to find a 4G signal. The heat was not from the battery but the area under it where the SIM and SD card, as well as the CPU's I think, are located. I was on that street for a couple hours when I left my phone could not pick up a 4G signal at all again. I tried everything I had to try last time my SIM card died. Reboot, reboot and wipe cache partition etc. Anyways I made my way to the verizon store and got a new sim card. Took about 30 min and I did NOT have to do a factory reset. The phone worked good for about an hour until I went into a parking garage where the data signal was lost. Again my phone got really hot and when I got back to ground level alas no more 4G.
Is this a software problem? or hardware?
I am running stock verizon android with GOLauncher. I got the MD3 update today with the new SIM card for that one hour I had 4G.
