I am on the CM10 nightlies right now and was using CM9 and still had this issue. I don't use data all the time so I turn it on/off whenever I need to download a picture or there is no WiFi where I am at. The thing that has happened to me a couple of times is that when I turn on my data, the 4g pops up next to the bars but they stay grey even if I try to use something that requires an internet connection. I usually reboot the phone so it can start working again and I get blue bars again after the reboot. It only happens when I turn off the data after it's been connected I guess. Does anyone else have or have had this issue and know if there is a way to fix this?

Not sure if it's a computer, ROM, Phone, or app issue, but after a few minutes or so of being connected via wifi tether, it just stops working. According to the phone, I'm still connected, but the upload/download numbers reset to zero and pages stop loading in my laptop browser. The only fix I have is to disable wifi tether and re-enable it.
Any idea what would be causing this? I'm on Fresh 2.0d and have whatever version of wifi tether came on the ROM.

It's actually shutting off your data connection. If you take a look your data becomes dormant. If you turn of data and then turn it back it works again. I think it may be with the version. I just saw I had 2.0 and I'm going to put 1.6 back on. I'll let you know if it fixes the problem.
Here is the link for 1.6
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_60_htc.apk
If you put on your sdcard and install using a file explorer it will change the script that is used and work.
Actually, I just checked, and I'm already running 1.6. Any other suggestions? Haha
are you getting a or making a telephone call when it conks out?

When ever your data goes to 0 is Ev in status bar white or gray? Might try doing adb logcat when you start up wifi tether or when you have the problem. I don't know what is causing the problem, but whever I turn off mobile networks and turn it back on it works fine after that.
I'm doing a logcat and using my wifi tether right now to see if I still have the problem.
Might try removing the one off your phone and push the one from the link above.

I was having the exact same problem. Read the 2nd post..No. No calls or messages or anything when it happened to me.
I have a Sprint Evo Shift running CM 7.1.0. Occasionally, the 3G data connection stops working. It hasn't happened yet while I'm using it, but sometimes after I turn the screen on, I get no data. Calling still works, but no internet. When this happens, sometimes I can turn on WIMAX and get a connection and sometimes even that won't turn on. The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone, which is quite annoying, especially when I want to look something up quickly. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

Do a Nand backup and then Flash a Sense Rom. After you Flash the Sense Rom, update PRL / Profile. Then Nand back.
Thanks! I'll try that, see how it goes. I was hoping to not have to backup/flash/restore, but I'll give it a try.
Having some issues on my Nexus 5. These occur on stock, PA and Stock + GB. I haven't tried other ROMs, but I would like to stay stock honestly.
Fairly regularly my phone will lose its data connection, but still show as being connected. The LTE text is still there, and if I pull down the quick settings it is white like it is connected, not orange like it has a partial connection. But if I try to browse to a website/use any app with data connectivity, it fails. I have to toggle airplane mode to get data back. It is quite annoying as it sometimes occurs while I am streaming music in the car as well and cannot easily manipulate my phone to fix it.
Is this a common issue? Or could it be a possible hardware problem?
I seem to have this too. I can see data arrows up and down in the quick tile.
Usually it's when I drop to HSPA from HSPA+
Very annoying

Yes, even I face this issue as well and I do the same Airplane mode toggle thing to fix it.. Gets on my nerves sometimes!
Well, that's a shame.
This was in the rumored fix list for 4.4.3 I believe.

Common issue. I suffer from it as well.
Currently I am having an issue where I get data drops while on Wi-Fi. My Wi-Fi connection stays connected but I lose all my bars like I don't have service. For example, I will be scrolling down twitter.... My data will drop and restart the app. It also causes other problems like the keyboard closing while I am typing in an app such as hangouts which is really really annoying. It usually drops 3 or 4 times back to back and then stays connected for a few minutes. I first had this problem on PA RC2 so I tried doing a clean install and still had the problem. I then decided to try out Carbon but am still having the same issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Hi all. I have a weird issue that after Googling it doesn't seem anyone else has had.
The issue started earlier today, in the morning. I was using my phone on the WiFi and it was working phone, then my phone crashed, restarted itself.
I noticed it wasn't connected to the WiFi, went to the WiFi settings and where it usually says the list of networks it said "Turning on WiFi" and the slider at the top was greyed out so I couldn't turn it off.
I tried airplane mode and that didn't help. But the phone was working fine on my mobile data so restarted.
Now the weirder part starts. I basically have an issue where, if I turn on the WiFi, my phone crashes, or doesn't act like it's turning the WiFi on.
Even going Settings and then pressing on the WiFi option freezes the phone.
The problem started when I was still using 4.4.4 however since the problem developed I've used my mobile data to download the updates and now have 5.1.1 I think.
The problem persists even after updating to the most recent version and doing a factory restore. The phone is currently completely stock with nothing downloaded on to it. All I did is go through the first time setup for the device.
The WiFi currently is off, and the phone is working however it won't connect to my data, it has the signal bars and then an ! instead of a 4G icon.
If I try to turn the WiFi on it crashes the phone.
The phone is still under warranty so I plan on contacting LG on Monday however it's currently 3:34 AM on a Sunday so I have a day until I can call them and was hoping for a solution in that time.
Thanks in advance. I have the phone to hand so anything you want me to test I'm able to.
There is some information I didn't type as I don't know what is important was trying to avoid a wall of text so if you have any more questions I'll answer I best I can.
Thanks for reading, I hope you can help!
