Constantly getting disconnected from Google servers on LTE

Is anyone else seeing this?
I have both the skyrocket and the Elevate 4G LTE hotspot device and both are showing the same issue: Google services can't keep a steady connection and it simply times out.
My Skyrocket is pure stock and i know that it is getting disconnected from google servers because i stop receiving google voice SMS, gtalk disconnects and i don't receive gmail emails. other apps that use data DON'T get disconnected.
It takes about 10 minutes from the moment i turn off the screen until the connection to google is dropped. the only way to get the connection back is to wake the device login to gtalk again.
Initially i thought it was the Skyrocket but i am having the same issue when i connect my Galaxy tab via the Elevate 4G hotsopt. same issue exactly.
This does not happen on my galaxy note (3G device) and does not happen over wifi.
It also doesn't happen when i tether other android devices to my Galaxy note.
it only happens on LTE devices and it is very annoying.
Is anyone else seeing this?

I guess i am the only one with this issue?
No one is using gtalk ant notice how you don't get messages when on LTE?

Bump!
Still seeing this issue constantly. Am I the only one constantly getting disconnected from Google servers on lte?

First. I hate you. Lol i want the note so bad. Second did you try calling at&t and tell them?. Mabye the can reset your data. I do not have this problem. When the skyrocket first came out lte was screwey, and everyone was changing there apn. But they fixed it after a week.

I keep seeing "unable to connect to server".....but didn't know what it was. Figured it was something to do with being rooted.

Yes it is not an issue with my phone or APN settings as i said it is also happening with their Elevate 4G LTE hotsopt.
I tried call AT&T again yesterday and it is like talking to the wall. they just don't understand what i want and they tell me to "call google as it is not our problem"...
I am surprised no one else is posting about this here except from the poster above me.

I'm experiencing the same issue on two LTE phones, the Vivid and the skyrocket Google talk randomly disconnects.

LTE in Sacramento? Didn't know ATT activated the NorCal central valley yet.

So it seems like this is CA related.
I tried to report this to at&t yet again, this time i spoke to one of their supervisors and he said he will run a few checks and get back to me.

Sac doesn't have LTE.... I was just responding to this thread because I'm getting the same disconnection.
I should of been more specific....I get disconnected throughout the day from the servers and I'm NOT on LTE....I assumed it was because of the ROM I'm using (alien 5). Hopefully someone figures it out....I myself know barely a thing about any of this, it's a miracle I was even able to root and flash lol.

But are you provisioned on an LTE plan? if you are and you are using APN called "PTA" then you will suffer from this even if you are not in an LTE coverage zone.
If you are using APN named "phone" and still suffering from this in a none LTE area then i don't think it is related to what i am talking about.

I just checked and my APN setting says "ATT pta". I assume this can be changes to "phone"?

You can't edit the son. You must add a new one. Not sure about the mms issue. I don't use mms.

Well I'll follow this thread....hopefully someone can chime and figure this out

I've seen this, too. I made a topic about it a few weeks back but no one else seemed to have the issue. I first thought it had something to do with the lack of the "colored" signal indicator new to 2.3 that indicates the GTalk connection. I too lose the connection randomly. I too have the LTE PTA, but am not on LTE...I live aobut 40 miles south of DC.
Is anyone else with this also using a Google Apps account? I wondered if that had anything to do with it. AT&T was also completely unhelpful for me.

Yes this is exactly what i am talking about.
Did you try to manually change your APN from PTA to "phone" (you need to create a new APN and set that phone to use that). See if this solved your problem?

I have the same issue! I'm located in new London CT. There is LTE for the Amtrak line that runs to NYC. My google services disconnects when I'm connected to LTE. I have to open gtalk to sign back in.

I have the problem in los angeles. But not google, my entire data drops in and out. Its super unreliable. I don't have the same issue in San Francisco on LTE. I'm wondering if its oversaturation of LTE in the area? My data when on LTE was so horrible the other day that using my phone to navigate to an unknown location was worthless. It would lose connection and recalculate so often that I was glad I knew kinda where I needed to be. Would have launched my phone into the street out of frustration if I didn't kinda know the area I was in.
My LTE speeds in San Francisco/San Jose are usually 30-60Mbps. In LA I never see over 15Mbps.

T-Mobile and Moto G

I was reading on the moto g and I saw that it says 2g only on tmobile network. Is this true because I really want to get this phone for my mom for Christmas?

Just cut my TM sim last night and popped it in my new US GSM model of the G. Working great, getting over 10mbps download. Really liking this phone so far, have had it 2 days.
Amusing how it only claims "3G" at the top of the screen, whereas non-LTE devices from TM usually call HSPA+ "4G".

For those on the Us model getting 3g what apn settings are you using? I am only getting Edge speeds.

Make sure to go into Settings > About Phone > Status .... and check what your "Mobile Network Status" is. It should state HSPA+. Even though the 3G icon may be displayed in the status bar.

I've used both fast.tmobile.com and epc.tmobile.com. Both gave me comparable speeds as long as the APN protocol was set to IPV4/IPV6

Yep, micro. I had a full-size T-mobile sim in my 2 year old AT&T phone, so I had to cut it. Worked out perfect. Really liking this G. Camera is sadly a step below my old Samsung 8mp, but everything else is a big upgrade.

I'm not a big camera phone guy. I don't take a lot of pics and when I do, I just need them good enough for Facebook or Twitter. I was impressed with the Moto G photo thread though.

Plenty tutorials on the internet on how to. They even have templates for you to use. I think I used one from cnet.com or you could just visit your carrier store and request a microSIM my buddy did that and they gave it to him free (T-Mobile)

Nexus 5 won't get 3G or 4G network

Hi.
My nexus 5 is driving me crazy.
All of a sudden it stopped getting 3G or 4G LTEnetwork. It just stayed in 2G (EDGE).
I called the carrier support, they don't know what to do.
This sim works fine in other phones.
Other sims also do not get 3g or 4g network on this phone.
I switched my sim, enbled 4G service and nada.
It seems the phone can't see the 3g or 4g networks.
If i go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and force the network type to LTE and then search for mobile networks it doesn't find any.
Same for WDCMA only.
If i set it to LTE preferred, WCDMA preferred or LTE/GSM auto (PRL) it finds the network and it connects in 2G EDGE.
I've done a full reset, flashed stock, tried several radios, nothing.
Im in Portugal and my carrier is Optimus.
If i go to the "Select radio band" option in that menu it only shows "USA BAND".
Is it suposed to be like that?
Also, when i reboot my phone in the notification area i get a notification saying: "Restricted access changed". I never got that before when the 3g connection was working.

Change it back to "GSM/LTE". Then go to the APN settings and make sure that they're correct. That's the most common fix. I don't know what your carrier is, so I can't tell you the settings, but you can probably find them somewhere.
Worst case, flash the factory image and see if it still happens.

Well you never said you had the right APN
And you say that other sims work fine in this phone. What does that mean exactly? They get 4G?

Verizon HTC One M8 on T-Mobile

I have an account with T-Mobile, I have my parents there with the iPhones 5s, I just popped in my T-Mobile sim card into my Verizon HTC One M8 and I get LTE and everything! everything works fine! I don't know if this is suppose to happen, I'm actually shocked that Verizon didn't carrier lock this phone.
I am leaving T-Mobile little by little but if anyone is wondering if it works with other carriers, well add T-Mobile to the yes list.

Just found this video and ran through the comments. Someone addressed it and the person who made the video said they have everything working on T-Mobile including SMS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJwqFersSoo

The person that posted the video said sending SMS is not working for him either.
Ouch, I stand corrected at this point. When I tested it yesterday, it worked. I surfed, and got messages. HOWEVER, I did not respond to those messages lol. I was recording a new video...so with that being said, yes you are right at this point...it does not work. It works perfectly fine on my other Verizon phones that I use on T-Mobile.

I really hope there's a fix for this. Or I'll have to wait until TMo starts selling this phone.

He just responded. I saw the comment on my Google+

I think once we have root there will be a fix for sending SMS on T-Mobile with LTE. Most likely a gremlin with the APN settings.

even if you were ever able to fully unlock a Sprint version handset, it may not support the bands needed to fully run properly on T-Mo's GSM network.
but search to see what bands (frequencies) your handset needs to support, to run on T-Mo's network. then call Sprint's customer support to help you unlock your handset for international use - say you're going to Europe for about a week and that you want to be able to use their SIMs.

You can unlock it here I can tell you it works because i have unlocked my Sprint galaxy s6 edge and lte works no problem, you just have to make two apns for lte. it is 35$ to unlock.

which US GSM network are you using it on? i've already had my S6e unlocked a while back. since I also have service on both ATT & T-Mo networks, i have tried using a bunch of known working APNs (from my factory unlocked N5), but I haven't had any luck.
I tried going through the first several pages to see what APNs were used. however, I've seen the user 'iBowToAndroid' mention several times it won't work in the US. did that change towards the end of the thread. still a lot of pages to read through...

thanks. i'll try that when I get a chance.
I was using these same APNs...
i'll probably have to try it where there's a stronger T-Mo signal. i'm usually on Edge at home with my other devices.

ok guys there will not be no lte but it can be unlocked but not through the thread my brother my friend @idone will quickly unlock it at a great price also but you will on have 3g but it is still fast if i was helpful click thanks http://idoneapps.com/

If you look in Settings>About Device>Status> it will show the actual data network type you are connected to.
HSPA and HSPA+ will be working, and for T-Mobile if the towers in your area have been upgraded for LTE on 1900mhz LTE will work also.
The phone will just always show a "3G" icon in the StatusBar when in GSM/UMTS mode, it can be changed with a build.prop edit, but then it will always show 4g instead.
But do check here Settings>About Device>Status>
You will get more than 3G

yep.

thanks for the reply bro awesome!

I also am having problems with getting 4G LTE to work on T-Mobile. My sprint S6 edge+ is domestically unlocked for GSM. I'm able to get 3G to work while in GSM/UMTS mode, but will not work in "Automatic". Please help ;(
