I have my nexus 5 on Viareo wireless and the 3G/4G connection has been working fine, until today. I am currently a block from the tower and whenever i try using my data connection if i download more than a few mb it drops the signal and then reconnects. What i mean by that is when doing a speed test or downloading an app after a few seconds the signal bars go blank for about half a second then fills back up again and the download stops. I can send and receive texts and calls fine, but the data acts like i only get a few mb and then it resets the connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Sounds like a carrier issue and not a phone issue

So my phone switches back and forth, is this normal, when it does it drops my data connection temporarily. Anyway to stop this?

I have been doing some research and it seems it is normal for it to switch between the 2 whenever data is being accessed, I found that to be the case whenever I used an app that accessed the internet. Problem is, I seem to only get a good data connection when it says H.
What I find funny is that when my phone is connected to my 3G Microcell (limited to 3.6mbps down) it displays the H+ icon.
Hi everyone, I'm running Android 2.3.4 (OpenSoju Rom) on my Nexus S,
but the issue i'm going to describe has happened to me on other Roms and
even on my old Nexus One.
When the phone is idle, 3G data works great (also when using apps that
require an internet connection), but when I receive a call,
after a minute or two, the 3G icon disappears from the notification
bar and the phone data connectivity is lost - no connection to the internet.
I've asked around and someone told me it is because the phone switches to
2G network during the call and when in the phone is in 2G mode, during a call
there is no data (on a 2G network).
I know that in the past this behavior did not occur, and in my country
when in 3G during a call - data is enabled!
So does anyone know how to fix/change the setting that causes this behavior?
'cause, for me, sometimes I really need the data connection during a call,
for example, when navigating using Waze (which needs data connectivity),
and receiving a call it causes Waze to stop working and I lose my GPS direction.
Thanks.
Use to work for me too. Then i noticed when AT&T started saying the had talk and web at same time, mysteriously it started doing what is happening to you. And i have Sprint, unless you switch to at&t you might be waiting for awhile.

So for the past week, I've been experiencing this oddball issue with LTE connectivity on my Nexus 5 on AT&T. For some reason, my data connection isn't immediate, but delay of sorts. IE when I do a google search or open up a website on chrome, there's about a 10 seconds delay after you start the search or entering in the url before you get your results/webpage. I don't think its due to a slow connection because this occurs when I have full bars for signal strength. Normally search or chrome is immediate when the LTE wasn't acting up or on wi-fi. Plus once it connects, its full speed as normal. It's as if the phone is waiting for something, times out after 10 seconds or so, than starts pulling in the data from the network. Also, the LTE signal never drops. According to the status bar, the LTE and network connection is always there the entire time.
Has this happen to anyone else? Let me know if any clarification is needed? It's a little confusing and I'm not sure what's actually going on. Not sure if its the phone or the network?
Exact same problem here

Same here. However my phone refuses to switch from LTE to HSPA+ when i need to makes calls or receive them. LTE data also is slow compared to my Note 3.
I recently bought a Moto G US GSM Unlocked and a Straight Talk Unlimited plan. I put Cyanogenmod 11 on the phone before installing the sim card, then installed the sim card and set everything up. I had to use the AT&T card for my area.
The problem I'm having is connecting to mobile data (HSDPA and HSDPA Plus). When I turn the phone on it takes several minutes for it to get a data connection. I have full bars (or some bars, depending on where I am) but no H or H+ icon, no internet connection. The same thing happens after turning off WiFi, it takes some time to get the data connection. Then after it does get the connection it cycles between H and H+ randomly.
I have researched the APN settings I should be using, and found a great thread on androidcentral with a bunch of people trying different settings. The settings I am using now let me send and receive texts and mms, and use internet. But it still takes a long time to connect when the phone first starts or I turn off WiFi.
Is this normal? If not, what could be causing this? It's frustrating because I plan on using WiFI almost exclusively while at home and turning if off when I leave. I don't really want to wait several minutes after leaving for the phone to get it's internet connection back.
Thanks
Sometimes I'll be doing something on my phone and the connected to wifi network notification pops up like it's just reminding me that I'm connected or something? It doesn't seem like it's ever losing wifi connection and I checked the speeds and everything is fine so why does it randomly say that in my notification bar for a couple seconds?

There is wifi notification setting in your wifi settings, just uncheck that and it'll go away.
