Network Indicators issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My internet works properly when using apps manually but I don't get push notifications from any app. My network indicator remains orange even when net is working. When I connect to WiFi, I immediately start getting all the push notifications and my indicator turns white. What do I do?

More info on your Android OS: are you rooted? What version of Android do you run?
Also, what fixes did you try already? (Reboot? Factory reset?)

[Q] Help! 3g stopped working

My 3g seems to have stopped working. Wifi works fine, and 3g works for a few seconds during startup, then the icon disappears and there's no 3g. The icon always disappears just before the second media scan (does everyone's phone do two media scans during startup?)
I've tried uninstalling or disabling various apps, but every time, the 3g is disabled at startup. It initially stopped working while using Google Navigation. One second it was working, the next, no data, and it hasn't been back since, bar a few seconds during startup.
I'm in a major metro area with coverage, that's not the issue. I tried resetting the ATT WAP to default. That didn't help.
I'd really rather not do a factory reset of my phone.
Can anyone think of any options? Thank you in advance!
Have you tried toggling it into Airport mode and back out? FWIW a similar thing happens on my Nexus One and Milestone. I will have a data connection then it just goes away. The only way for me to get it back is a reboot, toggling data off then on, or toggle airplane mode. I haven't figured out the cause as it happens across multiple devices and multiple ROMs. It may be my SIM card.
Thanks, I tried that. No dice.
So I got it fixed. I'll post this in the hopes that it might help others.
On a whim I downloaded several apps that toggle 3g. Both APNDroid and Quicksettings showed that APN was on. Toggling them off and on didn't help.
But Smart Bar showed that APN was off. Clicking APN on immediately made the 3g icon appear, and it worked. Thank you Smart Bar!

Apps not connecting

Earlier I had applied the one click lag fix and the phone was running great. After a reboot, none of the apps or widgets will connect to the internet, wifi or 3g. It says I am connected, the little wireless or 3g icons are visible in the notification bar, but nothing works. It worked after the lag fix and i got my inflated quadrant score, but once I rebooted, it didn't work after that. Sometimes it says Mobile Network State Disconnected, sometimes it says Connected. It won't work either way.
What to do? Any help would be appreciated.
edit: i'm a dumbass. that is all. it works now.

AOKP JB 4.1.2 Mobile data dropping and not reconnecting

I’m currently using AOKP Jellybean 4.1.2, the supposedly stable, reliable milestone version found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804223
I'll try to be as thorough as possible in hopes that someone will respond and know what to do. I apologize in advance for being long-winded.
I didn’t have any issues last night when I first flashed the rom. I was able to watch youtube videos using the mobile data. I was also able to turn on wifi to sync some files from my dropbox to my phone, and then turn off the wifi with no issues. However, today after connecting to a wifi network to download a few things and browse the web, I disconnected from the wireless network and the mobile data curiously did not start up again. I DO have cellular service (3-4 bars), and I can make phone calls and check my voicemail by pressing and holding 1 on the keypad, but my mobile data doesn’t work. I looked around for some solutions, and I've since restarted my device several times, tried toggling airplane mode on and off, and did several combinations of reboots with airplane on/off and no dice.
Everytime I use the toggle in the notificaton bar area to turn off wifi, my internet connection goes with it. It says “no internet connection” in the notification background at the bottom of the screen. Once I turn wifi on, I get my internet back and it says “at&t” at the bottom, but I don’t actually get mobile data because apps like “At&t Visual Voicemail” which require mobile data to function don’t work.
I tried flashing the 1.85 radio to see if it would connect to mobile data, and same issue persisted after reboot and dalvik/cache clean. After that failed, I flashed the 2.20 radio + RIL zip files seperately (which is what I understand came with the rom), and still no dice.
For reference, my HTC One X was rooted with 1.73 firmware (I never tried to update it until last night). I did the CID spoof method to unlock my bootloader, and installed the newest version of TWRP on it. I flashed the rom and the gapps package. I used TiBu to restore program settings and a handful of my out of market apps, and the rest of my purchased apps downloaded automatically from the market after connecting with my google account. I had literally just finished reinstalling the last of my apps today via wifi when this issue started to happen.
I'd really prefer a practical method of getting this fixed that doesn't involve starting over with a fresh rom install. Reflashing at this point would be something of a nuisance since I don’t have much free time to begin with. And hey, it took a long time to load up all of my apps just right
However, if there is no other fix that anyone is aware of, I guess I could reflash or in the worst case try a different rom. It’s a shame because the rom otherwise is really smooth and runs great on the phone, in addition to not using a whole lot of resources and having a decent battery life.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and solutions.
Here is an image of my battery drain screen showing what my mobile data is supposedly doing despite not being able to get a true data connection. Even with my wifi off, there is supposedly medium mobile signal.
And attached is another image of what happens when I turn my wifi off. I pulled the notification pane down and you can see that it says "no internet connection" at the bottom. Also, you can't really see it in that cap, but the mobile data bars behind the notification area are colored white, and there isn't any "H+", "4G", or "LTE" notifiers visible.
Edit: Attached a third image showing the "white" signal bars (i.e. no data connection). Yes, my mobile data is turned on, and I'm obviously not in airplane mode.
I figured it out eventually for anyone interested... Apparently the APN were not set. They existed on the APN list but were not visible due to a glitch in the ROM I guess. I had to add a custom APN and then the other ones suddenly appeared.
Thanks anyway.

I've never met an Android problem I couldn't fix until today. Help?

Good evening, XDA. I have a Nexus 4, the bootloader is unlocked but it's otherwise running the 4.4.2 factory image as of this post (act of desperation).
I have a working data connection on cellular: syncing, downloads and all such matters work just fine. But the connection indicator in the notification shade toggles will not turn orange. If I put the device into airplane mode, then exit airplane mode, it's orange for approximately 5 seconds and reverts to the white state.
If I enable WiFi, the same issue occurs: orange for a few seconds, then reverts to white.
I am no beginner. I've modded hundreds of devices. I know the OS like the back of my hand. I've rescued dozens of devices by jtag. I cannot state strongly enough how many troubleshooting steps I've taken. If it was on Google or XDA, I've tried it: verified APN settings, cleared services framework, go back to stock, try a new ROM, try a new modem, try a new kernel, airplane mode and back, swap SIMs, etc. etc. etc.
I am here because I am hoping the collective wisdom, as a last resort, can solve this problem. How does the same issue persist on both cellular and wifi data?!
And while we're at it, does anyone know why my Nexus 4 doesn't exceed 0.6Mbps on 5GHZ 802.11n?

It turns orange when you do not have a data connection. Thats all this indicates. Other than that I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. After your phone has made a connection to either wifi or mobile data, it takes a few seconds to properly set up the connection, then turns white again.
White=connected to the internet
Orange=connection problem
I'm by no means a pro, if I'm wrong I'd be happy if someone corrected me

I thought orange was the new blue in terms of indicating connectivity! So to confirm: not only did they move connection color-coding to the drawer, they swapped the states? e.g. color = no connection, whereas it used to mean that you DID have one?

LG E440 Android 4.1.2 screen settings reset on reboot

I'm trying to repurpose this old phone (LG Optimus L4 II E440) for internet radio and I am almost there. I reset it and even reflahed its stock ROM to solve some odd errors. I installed manually Radiodroid (play store says No network so I downloaded apk on PC and transferred with USB) and it works great except for these problems:
When the screen goes to sleep it pauses the wifi connection so the radio stops. I searched this issue and appears to be an unfixable Android 4.1.2 bug.
To work around this I set the screen to be always on and 0% brightness, that works fine until the phone is turned off. On restart these settings revert back to 2 minutes / 100%. I can see that the brightness remains on reboot (low brighness) until the desktop shows up, then after 10 seconds it reverts to full brightness, as if there was some process reverting these settings. Other settings do not revert, for example the lock screen disabled.
I do not understand this problem, I remember when I used this phone that the screen settings were persistent.
Any idea what to do? I would not care the screen going off if it would not sleep the wifi. A solution to one of these issues would fix the problem. Thank you!
Fixed!
I was using it without SIM card (for internet radio I only need wifi) and apparently that was the cause. I inserted an inactive SIM card and upon power on it changed something and now it is keeping the screen settings, finally!! After that I removed the SIM and the setting holds.
I also found out that running the "LG bluetooth remote 4-1.3" app to control a LG CM2440 hifi system, as long as it remains connected to the hifi system over bluetooth, the wifi connection does not drop when the screen is locked.
