Same issue here. I called both verizon and htc... they gave me the same answer. It is a roll out issue. Apparently because its in phases... whatever. My first tbolt came down fine; this is a replacement for a broken power button and now nothing. but at least I still have free tether! HA HA fail/win you decide.
Drop down to 1X and then search for it. Once you find the update, switch back to 3G/4G to expedite the download. Worked on my girlfriend's Thunderbolt.

Yep! i was rooted up until yesterday. While rooted I checked for & successfully detected it. But I rejected. Did a full backup using TiB and ROMManager first then unrooted. Now that I am unrooted, I cannot detect the update anymore. Been trying for 24hrs.
Just going to give up and reroot using the rooted update.

dropping to 1X doesn't work for me. However, here's how you drop to 1X:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Then go to "Phone Info"
Scroll down and choose "CDMA Only" from the Drop Down. Note the setting before you change it so as to revert later on.
Good Luck and let us know if it works for you.

haha, yes it does. If the battery cover doesn't sit properly, your 4g antenna doesn't work worth crap because it has contacts in it....
Reason why half of the extended battery covers don't work...

My update came threw this morning. I am not sure if this is a coincidence but when my green light came on for a full battery charge the update came threw when I checked it .

Hi, I just got my t-mobile g2x as a replacement phone from t-mobile
everything is fine, except the signal bar's color is always "WHITE/GREY" regardless 2G/4G, when I was using G2, it should be like green-ish.
Is that totally normal?
I am running stock 2.3.3, with t-mobile contract, and I definitely already sync/connect to google server (background data), because when I search a lot of ppl just saying "you are not connect to google".
Alright, another thing bugging me is coming out
The phone kept shows the screen before lock breifly, when I unlock the screen
Not solvble again?
It's LG's ****ty coding no way around it if you're on stock to my knowledge

Yup. Their crappy overlay directs the signal icons to the same icon for connected and non connected through XML. You have to go change it manually. The lock screen is due to their animations overlay... Their overlays are a nightmare and very VERY shoddy work. Their "devs" are more worried about sticking their name in code rather then actually coding. If you decompile their apps you will find tons of errors....

Green bars means you are connected to google Talk. It's has nothing to do with sync. Try signing into google Talk and see what happens. . Took me a while to figure it out too.

You're wrong, "green bars" mean you are synced with Google and you have an active data connection. Try flashing CM7 or CM9, your bars will change colors when synced with Google.
O yes, you are right. Just tested it. Cool.
It seemed to me that whenever I sign into gtalk my bars will go green. It turns out that is not the case. Learning something new everyday.

This is the very reason I rooted my phone.
So annoying.
Just got my One S today and having issues already. The unlock ring does not want to unlock the phone. along with random reboots and the music player crashed and keeps popping up the message if i want to send the report to HTC after i hit send a few times. Anyone else having these issues? Did 3 hard reset already and unfortunately i have to return it online because the tmobile store wont accept a return if i didnt get it form the store.
Sorry to hear you're having issues. Hopefully the exchange gets you a better model. I've had no issues at all since I got this phone about a week ago. No product is perfect. At least it's not a g2x (shudder )

How do you get rid of that ring for an unlocker? I have bee using Go locker, cleared the defaults etc and every now and again the ring locker pops back up meaning I have to unlock twice before I get to my phone, I then go through the same procedure all over again.
Try another unlock app..failing that non sense roms don't use the ring anyway.might be worth seeing if u can do without sense.

Might be a defective unit or calibration issue.
It's like my radio sleeps sometimes. This screen shot shows no data. Once I wake my phone data reconnects. I don't think this is caused by no signal.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Looks like you live in a so so signal area, the closer it is to green then the greater your signal is. I would think that's an issue with the towers in your area cuz as you know the signal fluctuates often even while sleep.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Thanks. I don't understand why it shows no signal when there was signal. As soon as I woke the phone it reconnected to the tower. There's a delay when it switches from 4g, 3g and 1x....This long area of red was probably the phone stuck in the delay between switching? While trying to submit this post I just lost data in a strong 4G area..... I don't get it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
How often within a day/week does this occur? That's still odd behavior that you lose signal or notice signal degradation while sleeping.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
This happens once or twice per day. Seems to happen in areas with less than great signal, that's why I think it is maybe getting stuck in the transition between 3g and 1x. No idea why it stays stuck once I move to an area with better signal.... Seems like the radio is sleeping until I wake the device.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It happened to me before. Try to go to flight/airplane mode and back. It should reset everything. I also sometimes press and hold the home button , then remove all applications and go to ram memory and clear it.

Are you stock? if no, what ROM are you running? Are you rooted? what apps are installed.
If you have CWM recovery, i would try to wipe cache and reboot, see if it helps at all?? if you don't have much installed, i would say do a full system restore...
one other thing, are you losing data, ie; not getting text and or phone calls? Also, check to see if you have any battery savers checked. Might be just a method of saving battery by shutting off data until it is needed.

As far as I know I am not missing phone calls or texts. Power saver is turned off. I am basically running the phone the way it came brand new (not many apps, no root, no unlock.... Yet).
Thanks for the replies. Any chance a factory reset would help? My mute/vibrate functions in settings do not mute the phone either... Still get audible notifications and phone rings like normal. Unrelated to the data issue but still weird for a new stock phone.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I'm not going to lie. I don't know if it will help or not. But if you are stock and got nothing to lose it would give it a shot. Can't hurt? Also, as others have said, it sounds ds like it could be because of signal strength. A lot of variables though.

Data wipe did not fix the mute problem. I am very annoyed. Will see how my radio acts today after the wipe.

Just found a post on Verizon's forum regarding this problem. Apparently I was right when I said there was a issue when switching from 4g/3g/1x.

Now before I say this I want to make it clear that I am not representing Verizon or Samsung in any way with this post, I am just updating the users on what I have identified from the test of my device on this reported issue.... So with that said you can take this accordingly..
Ok everyone about the reported connection issues reported, I recently have been able to duplicate the signaling issue reported on my S3 and it appears to be miner for me at the moment but I can say that it is present.. I recently attempted to isolate the bug and I learned that when I placed it in my test rig to monitor the device in the weakest area in my house the software would temporarily powers down the radio for a few seconds that causes the device to loose all connections (Wifi, Bluetooth, 4G and some times also the network connection), this only happens in a weak connection area and it does appear it could be a software related bug with how the radio drivers handles switching the connection from one connection to another.
From the test results this does not appear to be a hardware issue but I do agree that this could be a pain for a user on the border of a 3G and 4G connection because any connection change causes a crash or radio and force restart.
I have reported this to CS and it appears to be a situation that is being looked into and a solution is possibly in the works... Eventho this isnt a major issue for me at this time, I hope to see a update to address this soon.

This is frustrating. I have lost signal now two times and needed a reboot to get it back. When I did, I was not only losing data, but phone also. I would get this barrage of texts and missed calls.
I am rooted and unlocked, so there in itself could lie a problem, but it comes without warning and the phone appears to be working. Would the SIM card really effect that?

Not sure what this issue could be. A lot of people say every so often that they call me back to back at times. I get no missed calls notifications. Same with text sometimes. Not sure if its ATT or what. Happens at home and when I'm out. Anyone else experience this?

1. Belongs in Q&A
2. Are you rooted?
3. If so, What ROM, kernel?
4. Did you do a clean flash or you didn't wipe?
5. Check if you have signal it could be just dead areas you're in.
6. If stock, it's probably due to bad signal.

I was having the same issue with calls and voicemails. I called AT&T and they did a reset on their end which did involve reboot on my end but it didn't have any other impact as far as data and root and they then tested the response on the phone and it had improved significantly. This was right around the time Sandy hit.

i had this exact problem.
att first reset my sim card or something via phone support. nothing.
they then replaced my phone with a new one x. nothing.
reset my sim. nothing.
replaced my sim. nothing.
at that point i guess i was SOL. it wasnt happening all the time, but it was happening occasionally, so i just bared with it.
i dont know when i noticed it stop happening and fix itself, but it wasnt till after i achieved root and flashed a different rom that i noticed it gone completely.
i do live in an area that has poor reception for most carriers, yet down the street reception is perfectly fine.
i would miss calls, and not receive missed call notifications. i did not receive texts at times, and wouldnt notice till i was flooded by a few text messages all at once with time stamps corresponding to past few hours. sometimes me using an app on wifi/data would trigger all my text messages to come in at once.
now, i know it wasnt necessarily an issue of reception or service, because during some of those "blackout" periods that i happened to catch, i did have service and would be using my phone for miscellaneous things, then get flooded by texts and email notifications later
hope this helps in some way
