I just started having this issue, i can't connect to any data at all, i have tried battery pulls, using restart connection, running different roms, using restores where everything was working, doing a full wipe and then installing a new rom, but still no luck. Should i try just a factory restore? i also read that taking out the battery, then take out the sim card, booting the phone up with out the sim card in, getting errors and then shut it off and then put the sim card back in works, but im not sure which of those to try, any advice?
when that happened to me i did a factory reset and it worked afterward
Check around first, see if Verizon is having problems in your area. I know recently places have been popping up with sporadic outages.

But isn't installing a rom and wiping the data and cache the same as a factory restore?
I had this happen to me earlier this week. When I called Verizon support they told me that towers were down in my area, they told me the same when I called back the next day. Meanwhile, others who own the TB seemed to be having no issues. Finally I took my phone into a Verizon store and they are shipping me a replacement phone. They would not swap my phone in the store since I was a whopping 4 days beyond the 14 day return window...but, I digress.
The one workaround that I found in the meantime is to switch your modem settings. Dial ##778, select Edit Mode, enter 000000 as the password and select Modem Settings. Select Rev. A and choose Enable. Press your menu button and select Commit Changes. Your phone will reboot and you can use the LTE On/Off App (or just dial *#*#4636#*#* and choose Phone information) and switch the radio to CDMA Auto (PRL). That enabled me to have 3G data, though it seems extremely slow relative to 3G on my OG Droid. But, in a pinch it seems to work.
One additional bit of advice, in case you are running a custom ROM. I was running Virus ROM and ##778 would crash whenever I tried to run it. In order to swap the modem settings, I had to flash back to stock and make the updates, then flash back to Virus. I don't know if this is specific to Virus, but just an FYI.
Just tried on das bamf and worked fine (##778) must just be virus.

Thanks, that got my 3G working, will i still have 4G with it on that setting? or do i need to switch it back to use 4G or do i get the Lte on/off app?
*#*#4636#*#* and tap on phone information and go to the box that says "CDMA+LTE" THATS default 3g and 4g and for only. 3g is auto prl

You won't get 4G on that setting, it turns the 4G radio off entirely. You would need to switch back to the CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto or LTE mode settings to get 4G. Ultimately, my issue ended up being a defective phone. You can try to wait it out and see if you get 4G back later, but you may just have a faulty device.
If that is the case, just remember to follow the instructions that jcase posted in the development forum to get your phone back to stock with s-on before taking it into a Verizon store. If you bring a rooted device in, I suspect they aren't going to honor any sort of warranty.
My phone had this problem too... turns out when I went into a 4g area the mobile network box got unchecked in the wireless & network settings.
I use the "verify with multiple devices method". I am tired of the standard VZW "towers are down in your area" bs answer.
If another tb, xoom, and bb have service and my tb doesn't, that tells me something is wrong.
I have a feeling that there is something seriously wrong with the network (implementation or backend hardware) that is causing this with 4G devices. Either that or the tb is to blame entirely for Verizon's 4G issues...... /rantoff..... LOL

Was having issues earlier today with 4G. The connection and signal were good, but no data would download. The white up arrow would light up, but the down arrow never would. It was like that for about 4 hours. It's working great now and speeds are disgustingly fast.. maybe VZ doing some maintenance?
EDIT: THis is in San Diego.

Factory Reset from bootloader worked for me. I had the exact same problem. Tried everything that was suggested, but no data still. Only enabling Rev. A worked.
Thanks for the help, the problem I'm having now is I got 3g but I can't get 4G back, I have tried to switch my settings back to get 4G using LTE on/off and by dialing the number, and I have had no luck, in those menus it tells me service type LTE but it is disconnected, and I get no data or 4G symbol in the status bar, so I'm confused if I maybe messed up a setting or what, so should I just try a factory restore via the bootloader and see if that works? Any other suggestions ?

I would try the factory reset from bootloader, but I was on the stock ROM when I did it. So I don't know if that would matter or not.

Just to reiterate, my 4G never came back. The phone was just broken. It sounds suspiciously like you are having the same issue. Maybe there is a manufacturing defect that makes this issue more prevalent with this phone right now? If you are in the 14 day return period, set your modem and radio settings back and get into the store ASAP to swap the phone out. Otherwise, call customer service and have them replace the phone. They will overnight you a new phone if you complain enough.
Ok I was looking through my modem settings after dialing ##778 and I had changed the rev a. Setting to enable, that got my 3g working, but what is eHRPD is that would I should have it on too have 3g/4g? But everytime I have tried setting it to that I get no data so is that the setting that is messed up?

Last week I stopped being able to use the internet, marketplace and streaming service on my Galaxy S 4g unless I'm on wi-fi. Today I realized it appears as if I'm no longer getting edge, 3g or 4g service. I have bars, but nothing next to it telling me what network I'm on.
My phone is rooted to stock with bloat removed and has been for months. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Try toggling airplane mode. Might help to remove your SIM card & ensure the contacts are clean then reseat it.

try taking the battery out for 10min
I guess I figured it out. But it doesn't seem very logical, but hey it works.
I changed the url of my provider from "live.vodafone.com" to "live .vodafone.com" (watch the space between live and .vodafone) and all of a sudden E/G/H appeared in the status bar.
Still, double check the APN settings, make sure everything is entered in right (proxy, username, authentication type, etc). Were you able to send pictures still? You need to make sure it's not a hardware problem.
hi has anyonr else eperiance this same issue. whenever I go to an area that has little signal or turn the wifi off and on my phone resets to 3g. I have to keep going into the apn settings and change it from EHRPD to 4GLTE and then restart my phone. I cant change any of the settings oe delete extra APN's so I posted a screenshot and im hoping someone can help me out. Thanks

Kind of cool. Mine showed the first option chosen but it hope between 3G and 4G as usual. Choosing LTE made no difference for me. I have virtually no 4g signal where I love

Airplane mode is a feature of the phone and turns off all radios. You can hold the power button and choose airplane mode or use the quick toggle in the notification window. Since it sounds like you may be in an area with weak 4G, you can also use an app called Phone Info to set it to CDMA auto (PRL) under Device Information. You can also change it back to LTE/CDMA/EvDO if you want it to switch as normal.
With the Verizon S3, is there the need to do *228 (or *22899) ? I did this every so often on my old HTC Incredible.

Doesn't work on LTE devices. A reboot essentially does the same thing. Some have recommended pulling the battery with the phone on, removing the sim card for about 30sec and then putting everything back in.
Thanks, I know what airplane mode is, wasn't sure where the APN setting was. I will look in to phone info though.

Are you guys also experiencing the "No Sim Card" and "No Network Connection" issues?
Or is this an entirely different issue?
When this phone goes to 3g, it does seem extra bad on how long it takes to switch back to 4g. i have areas where i live where it goes to 3g when going in between hill (less than a 50 foot stretch) and it will not go back to 4g for over 10 minutes if i dont manually do it. Not to mention my LTE never goes above 10 mbps on the best days
Somewhat related...If you use Anycut to create a shortcut to IOTHiddenMenu, enter the ##DATA# Menu, edit. Under "Advanced", there is an LTE toggle, under "Other" > "HDR/1X" you can set the phone mode, and then under "Other" > "LTE APN Settings" you can somewhat modify the APN settings, reset and discard. If it asks for a password, it's 000000.
I gave these a try. I'm trying to find a way for my phone to favor 4G when there's a 4G signal, no matter how weak.
Yesterday I did a test, 3G with 3 bars vs 4G with 0 to 1 and 4G had consistently faster download speeds and shorter ping times. The upload varied from similar to 3G to slower.

probably easier said than done. The phone info app can force LTE but you lose voice and text.
Ya I found that out yesterday when testing speeds. I went to send a text then make a call and no luck
Otherwise 4G service where I live could be excellent at one spot then a mile away no service. If I had excellent 4G consistently I'd consider GoSMS which I believe has the option for data text and also a separate VoIP app
Ah well hopefully something will be figured out eventually. With a strong 4G signal 4G is considerably faster and more consistent than my 20mbps home broadband

I've had similar issues with my network. I had no 4G in 4G areas, but mainly my wifi would disconnect randomly and 3G also dropped to 1X a lot. I ended up having to send it back and get another one. So far no issues. Also the new ones have an "Updated" sticker on them. I think it was just a software update they applied, but I never got the OTA on my old phone.

Your new phone came with an already updated firmware version I535VRALG1 instead of the original version I535VRALF2.

Not sure if anyone will have the same luck I have with the "Phone Info" app, but with it I was able to get my 4g service back and my phone is functioning normally again. Just open the app, select Device Information and scroll down to "Set preferred network type" and select "LTE/CDMA/EvDo" then get out of the app.. 4g should return shortly there after. When I looked at it, my device was set to "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)"
My phone suddenly stopped being able to send/receive texts or calls and can't connect to the 3G network -- doesn't seem to be a SIM card issue because when I popped the SIM into an old flip phone, I could call/text. At first the phone looked as if it had full signal and was connected to 3G, but it wouldn't connect when dialing out and couldn't load any websites. I've since reset it (first a factory reset -- still had the same problem, so I did a hard reset) and now I don't even see any signal on the phone. It would work for a few minutes if I turn it off and turn it back on, but then it would suddenly stop working after a few minutes. Has this ever happened to anyone? Does anyone have a solution? Thanks!

hi , have u resolved your issue because I'm facing the same problem !
check that your phone is showing that you have a baseband and imei number
Yeah, either flash a new radio, or your IMEI number got screwed up somehow and it isn't registering on the network. Let me know if you need links to the Radio forum.
I've got the same problem now, unknown baseband & imei. anyone know how to fix this ?
Just picked up my Nexus 5 and stuck my 3 sim card in it.
I have no internet unless I connect to my wifi. I've checked the APN settings and compared them to what the internet says they should be and found small minor differences so tried to edit it.
When I edited and selected Save, the APN disappeared. I then tried creating one but again when I pressed Save, it vanished.
Help!

When I got it, I switched it on, unlocked bootloader and installed CWM. It didn't boot and for some reason wouldn't wipe through CWM so I downloaded the factory images and re-flashed the phone.
I then entered my details and got the no internet problem. I have done a wipe using the settings menu and now internet works

Hmmm... odd. I just took the 3sim from my SGS3 and put it in the N5 and it just worked.
Well spoke too soon, its not working again. Whenever I go into Mobile network settings, Network mode says Change the network operating mode and if I click it neither 2G, 3G or 4G is selected. Something strange going on.

You could be right. I originally had TWRP but I had a number of problems. I flashed CWM, did everything i needed to and once i was up and running I flashed TWRP back (the added functionality I do like). Since then its been okay. But yes, a number of formats.
Try having CWM?
Now back to stock recovery and tried re-flashing stock image and full wipe and still got no mobile data. Gutted but looks like its going back.
Just tried my o2 sim in which I only get 2G signal with in my house and it works on mobile data so appears to be only a problem connecting to 3G
I'm having the exact same problem..I'm on three too, sometimes I get 3G just for a couple of seconds, but then it vanishes? I don't think it's the phone though since I do get signal when outside the house. I think it has something to do with the signal booster I have?
Well there's a coincidence, I have a Home Signal Box too as get zero signal in my house without one. I do get full mobile phone signal just no internet. I'm sure its something to do with APN settings which do seem to be slightly different to recommended settings but can't change them as when I do the APN vanishes and it won't let me add any either.

Same issue. On 3 with Home Signal Box. Data dies once I hop onto the box's connection.
I'm thinking to get a 3 sim on the one plan this weekend. How is the data speeds looking on the nexus 5. I just saw tesco is doing 4g which is reasonably cheaper than my current 02 even though it runs on their network but i must my 02 speeds are really terrible right now. Cheapest 02 4g deal is like 26 pound with 1gb data. Thats not even an option.
