[Q] LTE won't connect to Google services, but WiFi will - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Today I realized that my LTE signal was orange in quick settings on cm11. Also, Google apps weren't working, play, hangouts, and even Instagram! However, if I connect to my WiFi the signal goes white and all apps work against. This problem usually happens on WiFi and a router reboot fixes it, but this time LTE is giving the problems. I am really stumped here. The problem came out of nowhere and I tried reinserting the Sim, flashing a new version of cm, and nandroiding an old working backup. This is pretty urgent sinse most apps are basically useless now when I'm not home. Also, 3g connects fine, just LTE doesn't. Once 3g connects to Google and turns white, switching to LTE keeps it white and apps will work. I'm all out of ideas here, someone please help

I'm in the same boat. Except I wasn't on CM11. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748991

LTE works, just most apps don't load anything, and the signal shows orange in quick settings. You don't seem to have the same problem as me, right?

You're correct, my bad. I can get 3G no problem but cannot even get 4G to show up.

[Q] data dissappears after restart

Ok here is the problem... I rooted the phone, played with some settings, explored the android platform in general. Somehow, my data has stopped working. I can make calls and send texts no problem, when I try to access internet or google play store, it fells me that I have no data connection available or something of the sort. I have tried flashing different roms, played around with switching between Global and Lte/cdma radio bands. When I switch bands, I get either 4g or 3g, but within half hour it stops working again. After a restart, same thing happens, it worka and then atops. I figure there is something messed up with the modem. Please advise.
Also, anyone else experiencing sudden restarts with CleanRom 5.0? My phone reboots every once in a while for no apparent reason.

Have you tried flashing a different modem?
Worst come to worse, ODIN back to 100% stock and start over.

No clue how to flash a modem

Pick the latest from the right column and flash in recovery as you would a ROM.

Looked into it a bit more.... my 4g or 3g works after a restart as long as there is a demand for it, ex. While surfing or streaming radio, as soon as there is no demand, the phone shuts it off and I can't turn it back on. It tells me no signal found for mobile networks. While voice and mssg still work. I refreshed the modem and that didn't help. Short of going back to stock, any other suggestions?

Modem Freezing? Dropping internet.

UPDATE: Here's a screen recording showing the issue.
NOTICE! You might see battery-saving apps running in the video, but I have factory-reset and un-rooted twice and run FULL STOCK no apps like that installed, and I still get this problem<<<
Youtube: http://youtu.be/MGPxlV2Q-0I
I've got a N5 from the play store right when it came out. I've noticed that randomly during the day if I'm using the internet via browser, apps, hangouts, etc the page / app will suddenly lose connectivity. Not just the app though, nothing on my phone can access internet. The status bar with show full bars, and 3G or H connectivity and activity, and when I pull down the quick settings the connection is white, not red. So I toggle airplane mode, but when I do so there is a long delay where nothing happens. Maybe 20 or 30 seconds before airplane mode finally kicks in. Then after disabling airplane mode, I can use the internet again for a while before I have to repeat. Sometimes I cannot get internet back whatever I do though, including reboots, airplane mode toggles, other toggles, searching for networks, network mode... etc.
Often toggling airplane mode will also allow apps to refresh for a second or two (I get a handful of instagram, whatsapp, Hangouts messages, etc) then all connectivity halts again, even though it's showing it's still connected.
Any thoughts what might cause this? I've flashed older radios, wiped and flashed several Roms including full stock not rooted, and I keep having this issue.
There's a chance it could be my carrier, but my wife's phone on the same carrier (but a store-bought N5) never has this issue...
Thanks for your input! Getting REALLY frustrated at this...
rooted? are you undervolting?

What carrier? And have you been tethering? I'm seeing similar problems on T-Mobile USA with full-blast LTE while tethering.

I have this problem when rooted and when full stock, no UC or OC, UV or OV.
I've tried Roms, kernels, radios, wipes, shakes, yelling, crying...

I'm in Canada and on Wind Mobile. No tethering though. :/
Updated OP with video & link. The issue is getting worse and I'm trying not to throw my N5 through a wall...
It seems like I have the same issue. When pulling down quick settings, does it show for you too only the upload arrow?

I have noticed that often - but not always - this is the case.
Do you have this issue often?
Does airplane mode take forever to turn off the cellular radio when this happens?
Thanks!
I have the issue maybe once a day. I have never tried airplane mode, but turning off cellular data from that stage takes a looooong time (atleast 20 sec).

I've been having the same problem for some time now. Exact same description as OP. I'm on T-mobile using Cataclysm Rom, but I've gone through Cyanogenmod, AOKP, Stock and PA and still get the same thing. Was looking for Radios to see if that fixes the issue.
In addition to OP, I've noticed too that often I can't connect to any network, or mobile internet will never go from connected (red) to fully connected (white).
Also sometimes the signal shows red (not fully connected) but my internet is working fine....
And other times it can't find my network, and scanning shows no networks, then later, same location, 10 different networks show. Open sky, not inside.
I'm hoping thisnisnpart of the 4.4.2 bug dealing with dropping internet connection, but not sure...
I've tried radios, might try again. My next attempt will be a new Sim card / talk to carrier again about a misconfig. Then if no luck, I'll see about a replacement phone...

[Q] Anyone else randomly have their data stop working?

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone's had issues with their data not working after while and require a reboot/airplane mode to work again?
I've noticed it both with Wifi and also with Mobile Data where one minute it'll work, and then suddenly I'll lose signal and need to reboot or switch on/off airplane mode a few times before it connects again.
Thanks!
Nope, haven't noticed anything like that yet. Is this happening on LTE or H/H+?
Nope. Do you have Chinese imported or International version?
Not stop, just slow...
Oneplus arrived from China and CM 11 was installed OK. For over a week everything has been fine using Virgin network in the UK.
Since yesterday though the data has been rather slow when browsing or using apps that require a connection.
When switching the data on the phone does recognise between 3g/H/H+ but when trying to load anything it is far slower than what it has been before.
I've tried clearing the cache and even clearing data but to no avail. Tried a factory reset last night and thought it was OK for a bit but today the same thing...
When using the browser pages will load but the blue loading bar at the top never moves past the first centimeter. (Doesn't move when using WiFi either though speed is finewhen using that).
Already contacted Virgin in case there were any issues but say the service is fine.
Any advice for troubleshooting or things to check would be appreciated.
Cheers

Another reset and browser OK... Haven't done any updates or or signed in to Google account or reinstalled any apps. I think a slow and steady install of what I want and syncing to see if there's a clash somewhere. Hmmm, not happy at all

I have had it where chrome wouldn't load webpages, usually it would start working again after a minute or two.
*sigh*... Thought things were fine last night but using it now its back to being slow again. No idea what's going on. Main update I had to install was Play Services. Chrome seemed a little funny so decided to roll it back at at the time things were alright but using it now its annoying. Took about 4 minutes to download a 3.5 meg file whereas it should breeze through it. I'm not expecting miracles but past experience was far better. Don't know whether there's anything I can do or just raise an issue with my original supplier.

Strange.. for me, it's been both H/H+, LTE and Wifi that have had it happen to me..
Also, it's not the Chinese version. It's the International version I got from Oneplus. Lately it's been ok, but we'll see how it goes..
APN settings ok?
Do you have your preferred network set correctly?
Personally I've noticed no difference. Its set as EE by default but manually added Virgin's own to try.
Been working quickly enough again without rhyme nor reason.

I can confirm the same happening to me... I'm on WIND Mobile in Ontario, Canada. It won't show that you lost the connection, things just stop loading... and the only way to fix it is to toggle airplane. It happens quite often, like a few times an hour. It's definitely a software issue that I'm hoping will be worked out in future updates, or maybe I'll have better luck with another ROM.
rAy
Same thing

I've noticed it a few times where I'll swipe to the left (using Google launcher) and Google Now will indicate there is no internet connection even though I'm in an area with solid coverage. Usually if I swipe down a few times to refresh it will reconnect and update. Today however I had to reboot to reconnect. I have already checked my APN and it's fine. Did not have this issue even once with my Nexus 5 or my OPPO 7A I've been using. I'm going to check the CM bug log to see if it's been reported there.
I*have the same issue. Seems to happen when the 4g signal is weak and the handover to 3g does not happen. Then signal is lost instead.
I changed my APN now, but don't think it will matter... I'll give it a go. Using Franco kernel now, but is probably baseband related. Never had issues with my g2 previously on same location and APN.
In Norway BTW...reboot solve the problem temporarily
I have the same problem. My data connection will just stop at random and Facebook and Google now won't refresh, YouTube videos will suddenly stop playing, and upon hitting retry I'll get an error in both the playback screen and comments, and also the speedtest app won't finish preparing the test when I go to verify that my data connection is severed. I would have to restart in order to get data working again. I do get LTE speeds when it works, but it seems that the OPO takes longer to ramp up to those speeds compared to my Nexus 5 if that makes any sense?

Using WIFI with airplane mode, phone won't connect to Google Servers

Hi guys,
Question is in the title, because of low signal and as I don't get so many calls and SMS (Only whatsapp, skype, etc). I have been using airplane mode with Wifi enabled, everything has been working fine
The first issued apparead when I got an delayed gmail email (We know that in Android, emails comes asap), the delay was around hours! So I checked the status of the connection and the Wifi bars were orange meaning not connection to Google Servers.
As soon as I turn on airplane mode, the bars turn white.
Is that supposed to happen?
Guys can someone try? This is driving me crazy
Not a problem for me.

I can confirm. In airplane mode the phone shows orange instead of white bars on wifi signal. There is however internet connectivity. Everything works as it should, except for google sync - it returns an error. This is what "paints" the bars orange. When you get that it means that google failed to sync one or more items from your google profile. I'd say don't worry about it, it's probably intentional.
I'm running latest slim weekly with franco kernel on top/bottom
p.s. it appears that google sync is down for the moment, nothing to do with our experiment. The last couple of days it was having problems in my area for the most of the day. it's on google's end of things, your phone is fine.

SlimKat 6.8 and FauxKernel 019u. I meant to grab a screenshot of my settings drop down to show the WiFi was white, not orange, sorry about that. But yeah, still no issues here.
Stock ROM, Airplane mode + WiFi = Google Services work okay for me.

[Q] Intermittent Internet on HSPA/LTE - Connection Drop

Hi, I have a very particular issue with my Oneplus One which it seems to me software related and I hope someone can help me here. I've tried to find an answer here in the XDA and in the Oneplus One forum but no one seems to have the same issua as mine. I've also tried to flash different modems, and doesn't fix it. Tried to play with the *#*#4636#*#* menu and didn't have luck as well.
Before I start I'm on Three network in UK. My phone is rooted but no Xposed installed. CM11S latest version installed.
Things I tried to solve the issue:
I've already tried to flash different modems or play with the *#*#4636#*#* menu but I have no luck. Tried factory reset, complete wipe on recovery and restore of the CM11S. Nothing helped.
What it happens is that sometimes, using HSPA or LTE I'm not able to use the internet. It doesn't seem to be a signal issue because I have full bars and I can even see the arrows up and down in the status bar inside the signal meter. I'm not able to use browser, listen to Spotify or anything internet related. Calls are ok. It usually an issue when I'm on HSPA+ but sometimes in LTE as well.
A reboot usually does the trick and makes it work, but sometimes not and it takes a while to come back and connect. That's really annoying.
Just another piece of info, it usually happens when I disconnect from Wifi and connect to the phone network or when I don't have signal (I'm in the tube for example) and come to an area where I have signal.
I hope someone here might be able to help. The only thing I haven't tried yet is to change to other carrier. But that would be last option as I appreciate the All-you-can-eat data allowance from Three.
Thank you in advance.

Have you checked if you had the right APN ?
Yes, Apr settings are right. Just to be clear. I can connect to HSPA and LTE. What happens is that the connection drops and just fix if I reboot.

Same problem here. Have you found a solution? Or is it a hardware problem?
Hey sorry for bumping an old post but I'm having the same problem. In the UK on non-EE T-mobile. I get enough signal and H seems to connect, but I can't access the Internet. The upload arrow shows but the download arrow rarely appears.
I've tried flashing different roms, modems, recoveries to flash them, all to no avail
I have the same problem, but I don't have to restart, putting the phone in airplane mode and releasing after 2 seconds does the trick. still very annoying. no one has any idea of how to solve it?
My ROM is CM11 44S
