I'm on the stock 4.0.4 update from AT&T. I have the 4GB Data tethering plan. Data connection stability in general (in the NYC area) seems to be kinda crappy. My old Windows Mobile phone holds an active data session much better. I mean I can be getting email fine, then I'll notice it hasn't downloaded mail for like an hour...and sure enough, the signal indicator isn't blue any more. Need to toggle airplane mode, and then it's fine again, usually. Sometimes I have to reboot. Sometimes it totally loses signal.
I notice the problem is worst right after I finish a USB tethering session. Anyone else notice this, and have a suggestion on how to make this work better? I've tried going back to the radio that I was using with a custom ROM (NexusBeam), but it didn't make any significant change.
The irony of why I moved back to stock was to get Google Wallet. Which isn't in the ROM. Grr.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Ive been having major issues with my wifi on a stock non rooted JB stock firmware Relay.
Wifi was working fine for the longest time. Recently my wpa2 home network wont connect. I keep seeing "wifi authentication error" every time I try to connect. I did a cache wipe, and when I do, it works for a day or so and then goes back to the same issue
Now Im having problems getting any data from wifi, wether its an open network or WPA. It just shows that its connected, the little arrows on the signal meter light up but no data actually gets transferred.
I did a battery pull and it seemed to fix it temporarily, but seems like the issue comes back
Any help??
On certain ROMs, such as Cataclysm, my data signal goes away after disconnecting from the WiFi. But this has been happening on several other ROMs, too, and I can't seem to find the reason behind it. In case it matters, I'm using my phone on Sprint, data works fine with the stock ROM, and problem starting occurring more often after the 4.4.1 update. Any suggestions?

What you described looks similar to my problem.
I’ve been flashing 4.4 and then 4.4.1 ROMs on my Nexus 5 since I’ve got it early November, but I have not updated bootloader and radio up until yesterday. This week being on Slim 4.4.2 beta 1.5 I couldn’t connect to mobile data even though I had 4 bars and it was showing 3G or H (no LTE here yet, at least for me). GPS was fixing my location on Google maps, but navigation was not able to recalculate the route and was not moving my position along the way. Only when I switched from navigation to map, it was showing me as moving accordingly. Maps also couldn’t search for the address I was looking for. Now I realize it was a data connection problem.
So I thought it’s because I’m using 4.4.2 ROM on 4.4 bootloader and radio. Yesterday I downloaded Google 4.4.2 factory image and fastboot flashed all (efrant, your guide is irreplaceable!), formatted cache, did a factory reset and all. I wanted to have 100% factory state device. What a surprise today morning, when I realized I have no mobile data. Orange 4 bars signal with 3G or H. No internet though. Rebooted – the same: max signal, no internet. I turned Airplane mode on and off. Signal is back and I have internet, but bars still stay orange. So I rebooted. No internet on full 4 orange bars. Airplane mode switch on and off – mobile data regained, yet still orange.
When I reached the office I turned on WiFi. Got strong WiFi connection, bars went white, both WiFi bars and mobile bars (in Quick Settings). I switched off WiFi – mobile data is not reconnecting, staying orange, showing 3G or H. Sometimes it’s coming back after few seconds, sometimes it requires switching Airplane mode on and off to bring it back.
WTHell?
I was never putting much attention to mobile data because at home and in office I’m on WiFi, and while driving I’m listening to audiobooks so I don’t see what’s going on with mobile data. Sometimes I take a train, and then I’m browsing xda – I don’t recall having connection issues in train up until recently. But what I recall now, for some time, when coming back home and turning on WiFi, email notifications were popping up immediately. Does it mean I had no mobile data and phone synced only after it had WiFi?
This is annoying and driving me mad. Do I have to fastboot flash 4.4 factory image to see if it’s gone on 4.4?
Any ideas what can I check before going through factory img flash again?
Does your data eventually kick in after a few minutes, or are you without data for an extended time after disconnecting wifi? I know with Cataclysm if you enable Smart Radio it takes some time for data to ramp up after disconnecting wifi, although I'm not sure about how other ROMs handle this.
I'm on full stock 4.4.2 now, just roorted with SuperSU 1.80, no mods at all. I wanted to check if it is related to custom ROMs or general.
It's random, after switching WiFi off, mobile data sometimes comes back after minute (rarely) but more often I need to switch Airplane mode on and off to bring internet back, but even this does not work all the time.
Mobile toogle shows 4 bars with 3G or H in orange colour (screen attached) when there's no data or there is data. Never goes white for mobile data (I remember it used to). Now it becomes white only after I switch on WiFi (2nd screen attached).
Hopefully it's not this but I've been seeing more and more people starting to experience it. Mine started acting up slowly and then now it's having the issue in the thread linked below.

I've seen this thread, but my problem is different. I'm not getting the "emergency calls only" message. I can call or receive calls without problems. It's mobile data which can't reconect after switching off WiFi, even though mobile signal is strong - 4 bars and it's showing its on 3G or H. And Why it stays orange even after it finaly regains mobile data?
Hello,
I have bought LG G3 D850 8 months ago.
It is a rooted mobile with FULMICS 5.1 rom installed. There was a problem with mobile battery timing.
for this issue i installed XPOSED Framework and after it everything work perfect.
I use wifi mostly and i did not try even once to use data connection.
Now after 7 months here is a problem with mobile network.
everything was working perfect now after 7 month when i enable wifi connection then sometime mobile signal drop and then search for network and after 1 or 2 second network back to normal mode but wifi keep working perfect.
NOW, The main issue is my Data Connection, when i enable data connection then sometime it work perfect and mostly as usual it drops signals randomly and search for network and continually repeat same issue unlimited time a day.:crying:
i have tried different apps even i make changes to Build.prop but no born fruit.
BUT WHEN I DELETED MY APN SETTINGS AND THEN I ENABLE MY DATA CONNECTION SO NO ISSUE OF SIGNAL DROPING. BUT WHEN I SET UP APN SETTING THE ISSUE IS SAME AGAIN.
The issue is same and still persist.
ANYONE CAN HELP ME ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
ABOUT SIGNAL DROPPING WHEN I TURN ON DATA CONNECTION.
HELP ME PLEASE.
So I'm guessing this is an android 12 problem seeing as this started happening after installing android 12 a while back. Though I could still connect to wifi it was unstable, now it just won't connect to anything.
Restarting the phone doesnt help and resetting the wifi/bluetooth settings does nothing either.
I also only see 5ghz networks and they disappear and reappear randomly even if the signal strength is really good and I'm in close proximity to the wifi network.
I'm also out of mobile data which is the only way for me to get a working internet connection on the phone currently so I can't back anything up and try to reinstall the phone )))))))
Gotta love android 12 and how your phone can just be rendered useless without warning
