How do I stabilize the signal?

I reset. I go 4g only. 2g only. It will work for a while and then just nothing.
Turning on wifi even when there is no wifi seems to help.
Anyone know a better method?

I have this problem too, I read yesterday about the newer UICC sim cards will help with this problem.
I have one coming, we will see what happens when it gets here.

Your really gonna hate this. My simcard was sent to me may 7th .
It is suppose to be the newest type.
Yes when I do get signal the speed increase is noticeable.
But it did not help the drops. Even when it shows a signal. It won't keep it.
I hate having to go in and do airplane mode all the time so I can get a signal and post to xda.

Use Set DNS from the market and wait for the official fix from LG/TMO.

Omg. I have this problem too. I told tmobile and they're replacing the phone. Does replacing the aim work though? Because i've tried that and I still can't get a steady signal.

4G connection drops out often. Won't come back for a while

I've been having an annoying problem lately. I'm running theory of ginger 4.2 and lately my 4G connection will just drop out and it won't reconnect for 5+ minutes. If I manually disable and reenable the connection it immediately grabs 4G back. It will stay steady for maybe 40 minutes and then drop out. This has happened on the MR2 and MR2.5 radios. Suggestions?

Mine does this routinely on a stock phone. Dunno if it's the network or the phone.
Dont know if this phone/network was ready for primetime

Mine just started doing this a few days ago.

So I flashed to CM7 on a froyo radio and I'm still having connection issues. How hard is it to get a replacement sim card? I think that might be the culprit honestly.

just call Verizon or go to a store.

Should I take cm7 off or just don't show them my phone.

i doubt it's the sim cards doing this... it's for sure the radio's. the mr1 radio on froyo drops my 3g to 1x alot, so did mr2 but mr2.5 was perfect for me. i just want a functional radio to ship this week.

It just started a few days ago, and a friend of mine with the thunderbolt isn't having the issues I'm having.

Mine started doing that last week while on Gingeritis final. I flashed all kinds of roms & radios (including Froyo) with no improvement. I even went to verizon & swapped sim cards, and still no better. I went back to bone stock and finally got reliable 4G again. Very frustrating

I've been having this issue for a couple of weeks at home but at work the LTE connection is rock solid. I think it's the network where I'm at. I went back to an old Froyo build and radio set and it was the same issue. I've tried every radio combo both GB and Froyo ROM's and it behaves the same way. At work no issue...at home I have to switch to wifi. It'll show LTE with bars (sometimes full 4...usually 3) and I will have activity on the up/down arrows and it'll work for a minute and then stop working until finally the LTE icon goes away and it goes to 1x (or even sometimes 3G and I'm in LTE mode.)

Its looking more and more like a network problem. Might as well save myself a trip to the Verizon store. Oh well, not that big of a deal I guess. Stand in line for 40 minutes for them to tell me they can't help.

Mine does this but I'm on the edge of the 4G signal where I live. I just lock in 3G and don't worry about it. When I get in an area I need to use some speed I turn 4G back on.

your problem sounds like an apn issue or provisioning problem.
are you using a stock phone? what apn is selected?

I have that problem on Sky Ice Cream Sandwich 4.5. To fix it I quick toggle airplane mode.

Same problem here..I am not stock rooted. seems like an Lte issue.

I have a similar problem. I loose data out of blue. Called Att and they informed me that my data was removed for some reason. They reconnected but ever since than, I loose data for no reason. I have to reboot the phone. Even than, my data works for only 10-30 mind and disappears. When that happens, I have to call ATT and the disconnect my phone and reconnect and it works fine for a while. I've called them 4-5 time in last few weeks. They think its the phone. They are going to send me a replacement.

Persistent Data Connection Problem

So, it's been more than a month now since I have not been able to get a solid 3G connection in my area where there is no 4G. Last time I asked no one was really able to help, so I thought I try again. If I turn on my data, it usually takes a while for it to connect and once it does, it stays connected for about 30 seconds to a minute. Sometimes it's longer, but it always drops eventually. Sometimes it has the 3G icon, but nothing happens still. It's a beezy to try and send or receive a picture message. The only time I ever use Internet now is if I have Wifi. I sent it into Samsung, got it back more than a week later and all they did was take the update the GS3 received while they had it. It seems as though if I'm in a 4G area, the data works fine, but other than that, it's almost nonexistent. Can anyone help me, please?

I don't know what to say bro. Is it just your area? How does your phone do on other areas? If it works in other areas then it's just bad service in your area? How does someone else's phone act around your house. You should compare it to another phone and see if that one loses data.

I have 6 other people in my family and all of them live either in my house or down the street and we're all on Verizon. Their service is fine. I say it has to do with something with the phone.

Idk if I'm thinking of the same thing as what you're talking about, but explain what you mean, please. In settings, correct?

Lame man. My issues were terrible until I switched to synergy. I'm on the he modem now but have had luck with lg1 as well. HD was **** on my phone.
Have you tried any modem swaps? Comparing service on hour Samsung to say a Motorola or an iPhone will make you pull your hair out. I fell into it as well. My wife's iPhone wouldnt drop 3g and my old Motorola got great service in the same spot my s3 would drop signal/go to 1x.
Things really got ****ed up when I went to an area with 4g. Watching my phone, with 4 bars of 4g drop to 3g then to 1x, to no service at all for a few minutes then repeat the process over and over again made me RAGE!

Well, my issue isn't like that when I'm in a 4G area. That's why it doesn't make any sense. The service here is fine, my phone just doesn't like it. I've tried every modem out there so far, and none have helped.

Flashed the new JellyBomb ICS ROM from Inc and now my troubles are finally gone! Idk why it's working on this ROM, but I'm not going to question it. I'm just ecstatic it finally works!

SMS problems

Does anyone else have problems where their sms messages do not send and calls do not work? This is solved with a reboot so am I right in assuming this is a software issue?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

I posted something like this in another thread recently. Where I live I'm on the fringe of a LTE tower and never have more than one bar (and often showing none). Turns out that when LTE network is bad the phone will switch back and forth between LTE and 3g, causing me to receive text messages sometimes more than 20 minutes delayed.
All I have done is switch to 3g preferred in network settings and everything's fine. I also have significantly better standby battery life, as the phone isn't changing back and forth anymore (that and LTE will always use more battery anyway).
Hope that helps/works for you.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using xda app-developers app

This happens as well with custom ROMs, I have to disable LTE using Cataclysm due to this delay.

If you guys are having this problem while WIFI is on, it's a known problem that Google knows about but hasn't fixed yet. You have to set the phone to only use 3G to fix it for now.

i used to have this on my old htc one but not on my nexus 5

Thanks for the reply guys, um im having this problem on 3g and wifi, mostly happens on 3g though as im out and about most days so I hardly ever use wifi
