3G Disappears

So my Inc has been acting up lately, I've got 3G when I turn the screen on, but as soon as something tries to use the internet (sync, browser, anything at all), my mobile network instantly drops, and when it reconnects, it goes and reconnects as 1X. I've tried going completely back to stock (the 2.1 rom), and it's doing it even there..... Anyone have any ideas?

wish I knew how to purposely do that since my 3g reception sucks yet yours is doing it on it's own

But I don't want it to. Reception in this area in general does suck, but even the places I ALWAYS get 3g aren't working.....

So I called and spoke to verizon. I have to bring my phone into the store, so they can inspect the damage to it, to see if I qualify for a replacement. If I don't, then I either have to buy a "certified replacement" or suffer with no 3g. They apparently think this is an exceptable situation. I'll be going to get the boost phone with unlimited calls/texts/web before I pay verizon 135 dollars a month to not even get unlimited. The Android phone isn't as good, but **** verizon, no way I'm buying a new phone because this one crapped out.

Can always find a used one online if it comes to that; DINC's aren't too expensive anymore.

When you say you tried going back to stock, do you mean the RUU? I'm pretty sure doing that brings you back to the stock radio, but I would double check that, and also make sure you don't have any apps that might mess with your data connection.

I had this exact problem last year. I ended up having to RUU and return it for a replacement because I was within the 1 year free replacement period. I returned it with S-OFF and got a new one that I've been using ever since.

I'm apparently still in the one year period. And yes, I did the FYI executive and without loading ANYTHING it won't stay on 3g. I'm talking bare phone, no apps, no accounts. It did work slightly better though. I won't be going to Verizon until tomorrow, so I will try a few of the newer radios I guess. I've always been partial to 7.28.

If you go to CM7 you can actually switch to just 3g I'm pretty sure. I know there's an add-on for JuiceDefender that does something about 2g/3g for aosp roms.....

I have the same issue! Went to bed on Thursday working fine, woke up Friday morning and was having this issue! I tried everything but restore the stock. I updated the radio, did a complete wipe and flash virtuous 3.2 rom as well as ##778 and modifying my settings to find a different tower to use. The tower modification seemed to help a bit, but in certain areas!!
Verizon tech said the same thing that I should take it to a store and have them check it. I do have insurance on it, so it won't be bad paying 50 and getting another one. But my concern is that I won't be getting the AMOLED screen. I had my phone pre-ordered and love it. Not even a scratch on it because I had it protected since I got it.
Where do you live?

My problem was actually fixed. I tried the RUU a few times. What fixed it was going into HBoot and doing a factory restore. It made me deactivated my phone after booting up, but my phone has 3g again. I tried updating prl before that with no luck. So try that, see if it helps.

I actually just returned to 7.28, after using the newest Inc Gingerbread Radio, and got stuck on 1X as well. A simple toggling of Airplane mode On and Off fixed it for me.

This happened to me just a few days ago. Mine happened because I did a *228 on my Inc running an Evo rom. I did the RUU fix posted in this forum and it worked.

[Q] 1 of 2 Evos no longer gets service around home and Sprint hasn't fixed issue

So this is my first thread. I did search for an answer, but couldn't find a similar issue/solution, so any help would be very much appreciated (even if it is to point me to a thread I missed). Here is my problem:
My wife and I both have Evos. We have had my wife's Evo for about 1 yr and it is and has always worked great. We got my Evo about 4 months ago and it worked fine.
On July 11, my Evo stopped being able to connect to either phone or network service (other than randomly about 5 mins every 2-3 hours) when I am at home. It still works everywhere else. My Evo showed 3-5 bars, but when I, for example, tried to make a call, the bars would drop to 0 and then go back up and I'd get a message that the phone couldn't connect.
I took the EVO into the local Sprint service center twice, left it for several hours so that they could run a full diagnostic, and was told it was fine. It does work fine other than about the 1 mile around my house. For instance, when I leave for work in the mornings, I cannot place a call or get network service at my house or as a start driving away. Once I get about 1 mile from the house, the 3G light comes on, I get phone service, and any backed up emails and or VMs show up. Again, my wife's is still working fine at our house.
I called Sprint and was told they were replacing two towers in our area. I waiting until August 4 when the tower replacement was officially complete - still no service on my Evo - wife's just fine this entire time.
Sprint customer service then told me it must be my phone and sent a replacement. Once I got the replacement, I called in on my wife's Evo from my kitchen table to activate the replacement. No luck - same problem as my "old" Evo. No network or phone service. After an hour of the technician trying to diagnose/fix the issue, they said it must be the phone and they would send me another replacement.
Before I mess with another hour on the phone with customer service trying to get the new replacement to work, I thought I'd check in to see if anyone here had any ideas. Bottom line - my phone had no problems connecting to the network until 7/11, it still works everywhere except my house and ~1mile radius around my house (middle of Dallas), and my wife's Evo has no issues at our house or anywhere.
HELP!!!! This is so frustrating.
Thanks in advance.

Call sprint customer pretensions and explain the issue. They will be able to take care of the issue with either a new evo 4g or get u another phone. Just so u are aware. It is sprints policy not to replace your phone with another model unless they no longer carry it (which would be a good thing. 3d baby) or the phone as been replaced three times.

Not really anymore ....but
The evo, what has been done to the evolution as far as over the phone like msid change nail change, number change, ,,,,more detail and ur city please. May be able to help with issue

You may have tried this already but I didn't see it mentioned in the OP...
Have you tried updating the PRL and the Profile?

probe
True, also wat firmware and radio? What kinda of phone does the wife have?

We live in Dallas - zip 75229. Wife has an Evo. All of the firmware, PRL, Profile, etc that can be updated have been. Wife's Evo shows same versions of everything.

Dallas has had alot of problems or upgrades to towers in and around some areas but u should be able to connect. Call in and tell them to change maid and nai with ur device powered down and battery out. Then hang up with care. Leave the battery out for one min then power the device up and then do a ##786# this will erase all info on the ( skip all auto updates. Then let it do its thang and she how she goes this is a good step to get it working or just get a airrave

Still having data problems. No 3g/4g!!

This is really becoming frustrating. I switched to Verizon a week ago and had 3g/4g service for a couple days and now NOTHING. I called support (12/23/11) and after an hour on the phone, visited the store. Then after 2 hours at the store where they switched over the SIM card, gave me a brand new phone, and still having problems with the phone. So I had to open a trouble ticket to look in to my problems with my data connection on my Galaxy Nexus. According to the store, support said I am the first to call about the problem.
Store rep was on a 4g HTC phone...his data was fine. My mom is on a LG 3g phone, her data is fine. All in the same areas of town as well. Why isnt mine? Tried CDMA only and nothing as well. For about 10 minutes, I had a 1x data connection that was slow but it worked. No nothing, again.
If I got a new phone, new SIM....then the problem is with Verizon somewhere and needs to be fixed. I am paying money for something I do not have and its a waste. I understand there will be problems from time to time, but don't release comments saying the problems are fixed when there are clearly still issues.
Anyone else still experiencing data issues specifically with the Galaxy Nexus?

Was a nationwide outtage Verizon said was resolved a couple days ago. Was working fine on Monday/Tuesday. This isnt related to the fix to resolve the reception problems. I can text and make calls just fine.

Try disabing vzw backup amd google +. Stopped my phone from doing exactly what you describe.

I've been having the issue where the hand-off from wireless to 3g tends to cause me to have no data connection at all (wifi shows up, but can't 'do' anything like browse to a website and such, and 3g never makes a 'connection', but I know I'm in an area where I should have plenty). A simple restart of the phone fixed the problem, but in the long term, I shouldn't need to do this in order to get a data connection. Just my experience.

I had the exact same problems. I returned it & reactivated my Thunderbolt. I hope Verizon actually fixes the radio instead of just changing the number of bars that get displayed. My lack of faith in this is why I returned it before my 14 days ended. I hope they will actually fix it & I'l try again in a few weeks. You might consider the same strategy.
Also, I had bad data & signal before Google+ was even on my phone.

I kinda doubt they are going to keep swapping out my phone over and over again until I find a working one. My original phone worked fine fora few days and probably is still messed up from the recent nation wide outages they had. They were hesitant on replacing my phone the first time.
Going to call support in a little while and follow up on my trouble ticket I logged yesterday. They better have a solution for me.

You paid $XXX for this device and you're afraid they aren't going to give you a new one because this one is defective? This issue may seem widespread because of all the complaints on this forum, but trust me, not everyone is having issues. Check my other thread.
Verizon already came out and said there isn't a performance issue with the device and their patch is just going to change the bars. So it's now or never.

Are people having slower 3G speeds on their CDMA devices? This is my issue as well. My sister's iPhone is consistently getting 1mbps> whereas I'm only getting ~100kbps down. Upload is worse at 47kbps.

I already got one new phone replacement yesterday. Going to call support yet again here in an hour or so and see if they have an update on my trouble ticket. But I would think it if was a defect in the phone, that this issue would be well known by now and posted everywhere on the internet. I understand what you are saying....just hope they get it fixed.

I'm having this problem too. I'll be on wifi at home, both wifi and cell bars will be blue. Everything is dandy. Then when I leave and turn off wifi the 3G icon appears and I have a few bars, but they are grey and websites don't work. I thought blue/grey just meant you are/are not logged in to google services, not whether or not you have data connected in general. A restart solves the problem, but it shouldn't come to that. This was a problem before the outage as when they were setting up the phone on release day in the store it took awhile to connect to 3G. Is this also why when I switch in to airplane mode I can't come out of it without a restart?

[Sprint Galaxy Nexus]No 3G Connectivity

So I recently JUST got my Galaxy Nexus, well I connected it to my phone line not even an hour ago. Well I am having trouble connecting to 3G or 4G.
I live in San Antonio TX so I doubt its my signal. I have a Sprint Galaxy Nexus, Not Root (I don't want to mess with it until this Issue is fixed because what if I have to take it to the Sprint store and they won't change it due to the fact that it is rooted.)
FG01 Update. ICS 4.0.4.
Can anyone please help me ASAP.

sprint wont help? why not call them on the phone it takes a long time but that might get you a replacement.also maybe try updating prl and profile and if all that fails contact samsung.
UPDATE: if you just put it on the line it does take a while for data to come on i had this issue when i switched to a iphone 4s for a couple days it should fix itself after a while. patience

Ok. I'll try to go to bed and See tomorrow. and the deal is that I just connected this phone so I doubt they'll give me a Replacement the FIRST day I connect a phone.
I'll try maybe calling Sprint Customer Support. I'll keep this thread updated.

They MUST think I'm stupid...

Sooooo...here's the deal:
I'm in the Houston area. There is a constant LTE signal here, that I rely on for my tablet and my pc (paying overages doesn't matter). However, after every phone call, I lose LTE, and just the 4G signal is there, but its slower than 3G. After a reboot, the LTE comes back and my speeds are restored...
I tried chatting with an ATT rep, they of course tried to blame it on "spotty coverage and tower malfunction in your area". Yeah, sure. She said the reboot is re-registering my phone and picking up a new tower. After questioning this, she then put the blame on a rogue application. After that, she then started saying that if I travel I might not have the same signal. After telling her that this happens anywhere, even when I'm at home, she said started explaining the data that I've used this month, and that I have data left to use.
EDIT: She asked me to factory reset, and give it a try. I reset my phone, went through setup, and placed a call. After the call, no internet. I rebooted, LTE service came up. When I told her what happened after she specifically requested I perform those actions, she then told me that a factory reset phone may not work for up to 15 minutes. I'm officially done.
How about you guys? Anything remotely useful to add since apparently this isn't a common issue?

it could just be a corrupted radio on his phone, i wonder if he just needs to change radios or odin the phone back to 100% stock

I knew it was normal because my other phone (GNex) does that as well...but LTE never comes back on my SGS3. I went back to stock a long time ago because although I hate the TouchWiz interface, i use the 'motions' ALOT (especially the direct call from messaging and the swipe to message/call), and even after going back to stock AND doing a factory reset it wouldn't work. Of course, I'm sure that as soon as I get into the store tomorrow its going to work like its supposed to, as always, but even though it doesn't seem like a huge deal because our phones boot up quickly, its still an inconvenience to have to reboot the phone after every phone call just to get my LTE back

What he said... At&t doesn't offer voice over LTE or VoLTE yet. It will also wait until any open data sessions have stopped before bumping back up to LTE.
PS... Don't be a **** to customer service because they can't get 30,000 people smarter than you. We all know that would be impossible.

I like that you fell for the factory reset; it really pisses me off when they tell me to do that. If it work yesterday and the day before and suddenly it doesn't work then guess what is not going to fix it, that's right, a factory reset. I know there are a lot of legitimate reasons to factory reset but they throw that out like it's nothing, as if I didn't just spend 10 hours setting up the phone just the way I wanted it. If the software is so easily corrupted then just give me my money back and I will go down the road.
That said I believe this phone is a wonderful machine but if you have a factory producing hundreds of units every hour they are bound to eventually have a defect. But every person who purchased in atrix 2 should have been given a refund and an apology.

What was so bad about the Atrix2?

This sounds like Samsung fault, hardly at&t.

It had issues addressing the SD card . It would often lose applications that you had installed, you also would not be able to access your music, pics, or videos on the SD card at random times. Everybody and their brother had a different solution for it. The biggest consensus is that it was class 6 and above causing the problem. But if that is true then motorola should have done their own beta testing and reported that. All in all the phone was a nightmare and there are forums filled to its failure. I purchase the atrix HD and it did the exact same thing.
