So I was reaching my mobile data limit of 2gb, so i decided to turn off the data since i only had 2 days left anyway. When i disabled the data in the settings the "4G" icon stayed in the status bar and occasionly the "LTE" would also show up. I confirmed that i didnt not actually have working data. I'm curios as to why the icon would not go away. Also durring this night i slept for about 8 hours and my phone drained about 40% so im pretty sure mobile data was still effecting my battery. I'm on stock rom with root privlages. I've tried a few more times after reseting the phone and the icon stayed on. Any suggestions?
Its just to tell you what type of signal the phone has, this phone shows the data icons when on WiFi too, a lot do not.

Strange issue with my G2X. It has worked perfectly since having it replaced due to the reboots a month ago. An hour ago I used it just fine, sending a few texts and making a phone call. Now, I turn it on, and the phone no longer gets service and the battery inidicator (stock no roms) just shows a circle instead of the the green/orange/red charge levels. I tried putting it in airplane mode and back out to refresh the signal but it simply became stuck in airplane mode. Attempting to turn off airplane mode through long press just grayed out the option. Doing it through settings force closed Android.Settings after a couple of seconds. Pulled the battery and waited a little bit, turn it back on, still the same issues. Has anyone else seen this before with their G2X or other Android phones?
Try pulling the battery while the phone is still on?

I was able to find the culprit. Never would have expected my 8gb SD Card (Not internal) to be the reason my phone suddenly crapped out on me. Removed the card and the phone worked just fine. I'll replace it with a new one after I am able to copy my files off.
Ok I was at work today took my phone out of my pocket an suddenly had no service, which is weird because I usually have 3-4 bars inside the building, and it was working fine 5 min before that. So I went outside and still nothing.
Did the whole power cycle, remove the battery, airplane mode on and off, then even resorted to factory reset. Still Nothing. At home plugged it into usb, tried a bunch of stuff nothing... WiFi works fine, but no 3G, roaming, no cell connection at all...cant test 4G
So anyone have a fix for this... otherwise its a trip to the Verizon store tomorrow.
Ps. I have not rooted this phone yet, and have had it less than 2 weeks.
I have a similar issue too. 3G would fail after sending a text message and sometime while tethering and missing a call, ALL signal was gone. In either case I would just reboot the phone and it would start working again.
THEN.... my 3G totally disappeared and VZN is now sending me a new phone.

you may need a new SIM card
I've been seeing all praise about how fast the GPS locks. Mine doesn't lock very fast though, if I keep the WiFi off. It often takes about a minute or even few minutes to lock, even if I'm out in the open. If I turn on the WiFi it locks almost instantaneously, and locks at a GPS-ish accuracy, i.e., down to a few meters.
Does anybody have the same issue? Is it how it's supposed to be or I have a bad GPS chip?
I'm on Verizon running root66 with WiFi toggle. Note that when I say WiFi off I meant turning it off using the WiFi toggle. I don't think the stock WiFi toggle you access from the Settings page completely turns it off, since it'll still tell you if you are near a known WiFi network, it must be turning WiFi on whenever "needed".
I'm on Sprint. Just ran a test. With WiFi on or off indoors I lock within 5 seconds.
Mine has been that way since the day I had it. U may have a bad one.

anybody on Verizon has this issue, particularly when WiFi is turned off using the toggle in notification bar?
thanks.
With WiFi off, indoors (first floor in a 2-story house), I got a 10-foot lock in less than 30 sec from a cold start on a freshly reset phone (this morning)

OK. Then there's probably something wrong with my phone. I'll try revert back to 100% stock and get an exchange if it still has problem.
Yes, my gs3 is also like this. Normally takes a few minutes. Stock rooted but was the same way before root

This has been happening for a while now. I will randomly completely lose signal and can't get it back until I reboot. I try using the airplane mode on/off method but can never get back out of airplane mode.
As of right now my power stats are:
Call standby 16%
Time without signal 51%
I probably last restarted my phone around 5 hours ago.
I also cannot turn on and off radio when this is going on via Phone Info. The buttons are just unresponsive.
Any ideas please?
Also the tmo My Account app gives me "not available at this time" messages

So my mother has a samsung s8 Plus and a software update was pushed through the other day. After it updated, the 4g/Lte icon on status bar is gone and now only has the no mobile network icon.
no calls/texts in or out. Took it to att store and they reset mobile network settings, did a factory reset, and replaced the SIM card. none of that worked. She then took it to a UbreakIfix(?) samsung
authorized repair shop and they tried the same things to no avail. Any thoughts or ideas from here?
Edit: forgot to mention that the airplane mode in the notification bar drop down is lit up light blue but is not turned on. it is light blue not the normal dark blue like all the other icons. very weird.
I am having the EXACT same issue. I don't remember when the last update came through, but it was Feb 16th when this started happening to me. I was moving to a new apartment, phone battery down to like 10%, so I turned the phone off and put it away. A few hours later I turned it back on and no cell connection. No bars, just a circle with line through it. Settings > About Phone > Status > SIM card status = shows Network "unknown", Mobile network type "unknown", Service state " Radio off", Mobile network state "Disconnected".
My SIM works in a Nexus 6 and Galaxy Note 4, so I know it isn't the SIM card. I've tried everything I can think of to turn the radio back on, replaced the SIM tray (original is cracked), even got a Freedompop SIM just to test, and yeah, it won't work. The cellular radio isn't turning on for some reason.
I will say, a couple days after it happen, I turned the phone on without SIM tray, and I could see empty bars, like it was trying to work. I turned it off, put my SIM in, and it worked... until my replacement SIM tray came in. Turned it off, replaced SIM tray, and it is off again.. for last 2 days. I just happened to turn it on that day and it was working, turned it off some days later and it stopped again. I don't know why.. no apparent reason. So, last couple days I have been turning it on and off, on and off, hoping it comes back on.
If ANYONE comes up with ANY ideas, please let us know!!!
Aaaaaaand... I turned it on this morning and the signal bars were back. I didn't even turn the phone off, I slid my SIM card, in tray, in to the phone, and it is working. I'm scared to even reboot it now, but SOOOO happy I don't have to use my Note 4 with dying battery right now

Thats funny because I had my moms phone just sitting in my nightstand drawer and she decided she wanted it back. So I gave her the phone back and she charged it up and turned it on. Guess what...it was working again. Very weird.

Tell her not to shut it down. That caused my issues the second time (well, the first time too). Rebooting, not sure... but I am keeping it charged and NOT shutting down until the next software update, for sure.
FYI... my charge cable got pulled out of my phone last night and my phone died in the middle of the night. I woke up, noticed it, and started charging to around 25%, turned it on, and now... no mobile signal again. Worked fine for I guess a month. A month of NEVER rebooting it or shutting it off. Once I did this it has now lost signal. Luckily I have a Note 9 coming Monday (tomorrow), but this is really pissing me off.
