No service, not even calls...

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.

[Q] My wifi never sleeps when its ON

After I did the OTA update to 2.3.4 on my Tmobile Sensation 4G, I cant seem to get the wifi to ever sleep. It stays on no matter where I am; next to a router, in my car, outside, at home...
Attached is an example of a typical day's usage with some charging, because recently its been draining a lot quicker. I have tried restarting, turning wifi on/off, getting rid of all of the saved wifi networks and saving them again, changing the sleep policy, turning off the best performance wifi feature, pretty much everything. I have also attached todays usage thus far, notice that wifi calling is using battery even though i have it disabled.
I don't use wifi calling, and even though its off, sometimes it shows up under the the battery draining applications. Its not on though, I don't even know why its there.
Anyone else having this issue? Please advise.
Thanks

Wi-Fi Power Fix
First off, Settings>Wireless & networks>Wi-Fi Settings>Menu>Advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy>Never when plugged in.
After any OTA the phone builds a current index and reorganizes the file system. This can take up to lets say just from personal experience anywhere from 2-8 days depending on how loaded your phone/sd card is. It is always good to plan ahead. Spare battery in pocket, charger at work/car/home. It may seem like I’m being lazy, but it’s more pragmatic than anything. The phone will truly get noticeably zippy at some point when you pick it up and you will remember this post. Have fun with your phone. It’s a great one.
Josh-

i dont really understand what you are talking about in the second part of your post after you mention the suggestion to turn that setting on. How could a setting take 8 days to go into effect? I have been using the phone for more than 2 weeks now with the new OTA.

How did You restart Your phone ? Using "Power off" from Power options ? Sensation doesn't seem to do a real power off in this case. After switching on it will start quite fast (~5s until asking for PIN).
So have You tried "Restart" from Power options or removing the battery ?

That fast rebooting is a feature called fast boot. I turned it off, and it actually restarts the phone and doesn't put into some "hibernation" mode.
So, yes I have done a full reboot as well as a battery pull before starting again.

Still the same problem ? If so, a factory reset may solve it, but You'll loose Your data.
If Your device is rooted You can create a Nandroid backup before and restore it afterwards, if it doesn't solve the problem.

I have the same problem after the upgrade as well.
Did the sleep policy suggestion work for you?

It should come of after about 10th mins but my battery is fine. Maybe u should root and see what happens.http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=707292&d=1314908579

GPS lock time with WiFi completely turned off

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

Random lose signal until reboot

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

Cannot turn wifi on

Dear all,
I'm using Nexus 5 normally ( no root, no kernel, etc ) but two weeks ago , I don't know why the Nexus 5 is rather hot and the wifi was turned off ( I didn't turn on 3G ). I powered off the phone the power on, after that wifi was turned on again. But more than half an hour the wifi was turned of again. And I see that my Nexus 5 is always rather hot ( I power off, it is still hot )
Now the wifi cannot be turned on anymore . I change the kernel, change the ROM but nothing happens. Please advise.
Thank you very much
