My 900 works great in SD. No data issues at all. I'm now in palm springs and I can't get any data at all. Must be LTE vs hspa markets. I'm kind of annoyed, I didn't bring my laptop so I can't update.

I enable cellular data, and there is like a 5% chance it will ever work. The rest 95% times I have to restart my phone for it to work. Sometimes its working fine and then all of a sudden it stop, and again I have to restart my phone.
P.S my data connection is perfectly fine. No problems there.
Not seeing this on my phone and the DVP is notorious for some of its issues. So, maybe it's not WP7, just your phone.
Happens to me quite a bit. It just refuses to load over 3G. H and G work although the later is far too slow
I don't have any connection issues either. It's most definitely your phone. Maybe you could try and install another radio?
What is your carrier?
I have the same problem on my Omnia 7. It works for a week, and then it doesn't for a couple of hours. So frustrating! It's not branded, and I've talked to my carrier, but they cannot find any problems at their end.

Reception is poor on the HD7 as well, compared to the Vibrant. Factorably poor to the point that anyone who is buying the phone primarily for a phone would pass up the HD7 for the Vibrant due to Reception/Call Quality/Speakerphone quality disparity between the two.
I think Microsoft needs to update the driver, to strengthen the radio (probably set rather weak to conserve battery).
Connection is awesome on my Mozart, both for voice and data. I get stable HSDPA with good speeds at home where the iPhone (bad benchmark, but still) only got Edge, and HD2 constantly switches from 3G to GSM. I talk easily in my office elevator where even most dumbphones fail.
Guess it depends on many factors including the combination of device and operator. Generally, coverage here is better than in most places in the US, judging by my personal (although limited) experience and what I'm reading in tech blogs.
It seems whenever I don't have a 4g data connection, I'm not getting any data connection. Anyone else have this problem? When I'm in builldings I never get a data connection. Even when I'm outside I rarely get data connection unless it's a 4g spot. I know someone with a GN and side by side, he gets a connection at work while I have gray bars. Is this prevelant among most of you all? I'm on Verizon if that makes a difference.
Yes, I have this issue as well when I am at work but only when I have wifi turned on. With wifi on I get no 4g connection inside the building and the phone won't drop down to 3g, just gives me gray bars and no data. Manually switching from LTE/CDMA to CDMA restores my 3g data connection. Turning wifi off enables the LTE data connection. I assume it's trying to use the building's wifi network that I am not authenticated to for some reason. It's quite annoying and seems to be draining my battery.
My 4g reception sucks. I am rather disappointed. I canceled my ATT account and paid the ETF to switch to verizon for the GN. I am in plano tx which is in the Verizon LTE area and i dont get any signal except in a few spots on the highway. I work in Richardson, which is also in the LTE area, and i dont even have 3g in the building. I dont have any signal when i go deeper into the building away from the windows. I am running stock 4.0.2. I hope this gets better. I am already regretting dropping ATT.

Strange. I have excellent 3G and 4G signal in buildings, coming from Sprint I had non-existent data everywhere, especially indoors.
Just as an fyi. I went to Verizon to try to get a new phone. They told me my sim card was bad. I got the phone on the first day and they said they had issues with the first sim cards with the nexus. My wifes has the same problem.
New sim card, NO MORE connection issues. Yeah! Anyone else who has this issue might try this. I am now getting 3g and even 4g connections inside now.
ill go to the verizon store after work and switch sims. Just got it on 1/1. Ill go to a different verizon store to make sure its not a bad batch lol.
Wasnt the SIM card. Still getting crappy signal strength. I am going today and replacing the phone. If that doesnt work, i am going back to ATT skyrocket...

In my office I get very weak to no 4G signal, so that the phone is constantly switching from weak 4G down to 3G and causing connection disruptions. I usually just disable LTE and use CDMA only mode to fix this. I have heard that a LTE signal should penetrate inside of buildings better, but apparently my workplace is almost impenetrable. We have a Verizon 3G repeater in the office or I would get no usable signal at all.
Spencer, what kind of speeds are you getting with LTE in the Columbia area? It seems like I got better speeds when I had my Rezound than I'm getting with my Galaxy Nexus.

I've had the exact opposite experience in Dallas. I switched from AT&T a year ago. I couldn't even make calls in my house. (I live in Lakewood) I had to go upstairs or outside. As far as data goes even on just 3G the Verizon speeds are much faster. I've done quite a few AT&T vs Verizon 3G side by side tests and Verzion has won every time. 4G is just a bonus for me. When I get a 4G signal there is no comparison. My coworker and I did a speed test on Tuesday at DFW. His iPhone 4s on AT&T vs my Gnex. I was getting 10-15 mbits down and he was getting like 2-3
3G Data
I am having the same exact problem. I thought it was related to airplane mode, I have it turning on at midnight and off at 6am. In the morning, if there is no Wifi and the phone is in 3G, I can't get data. Restarting gets data back, but I'm looking for a more elegant solution than that.
I'm having HUGE data issues, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421440
just a quick question. are you guys running custom ROMs/kernels? if so, please add that in your post.
none at all here.
As you guys should know, the data connectivity bug was patched yesterday. I had not activated my phone because of that.
So I patched my phone last night, and then activated it over chat support while at work today. It works, but I'm only getting HSPA+ even though I know I'm in a LTE zone...
I doubled checked my data plan to make sure it is an LTE plan... and I also have power cycled the phone. Still no go.
Got any suggestions?
At this point, I'm not really considering keeping the phone anyway. The screen is too slippery to my fingers, the interface has some issues that bug me, and above all I can't make calls comfortably because of the big corners. It pushes against my glasses... not cool.
Not that it matters too much, if you're not planning on keeping the phone. I never lost LTE until after I updated my phone. Now I've lost LTE from time to time, just getting 4G. But doing a soft reset fixes it. But just wish it wasn't happening.

Did you officially upgrade?
I had (and still have) an iPhone for development. I didn't get LTE until I got both a new SIM and ditched my iPhone dataplan for the LTE equivalent. Same price, and still works in the iPhone, so I'm happy.
I'm having LTE issues as well, I'm in the Dallas area and was told the LTE is down. My iPad 3 which has LTE is only getting 4G as well.
So it might be an issue with ATT and LTE, at least here in Dallas.
Did you see if there was an outage?
Call one of the local ATT stores to check.
Good point. I'll check into it, since this makes much more sense then what I had thought was the problem. Especially considering I'd never had the problem before.

No outages reported by my store,
They've told me the problem could be my device. At this point I'm not attached to the phone whatsoever so I'll return it and wait for the galaxy S3, which will be unveiled may 3rd.
Mine was due to an outage here in Las Vegas. Been having super fast LTE since. I'm hooked like crack on this phone & LTE!

No LTE in my area of California here in Rancho Cucamonga so when im in Orange County I love to run speed test to test out the LTE speeds. Ive been doing this from back when I had my Note 1. The speeds in the Irvine area were up to 22mbps+ on the Note 1. Finally had the chance to take my Note 2 into a LTE area and was completely taken back by the fact that on my first test I maxed out at 11Mbps then had zero data never reaching 1Mbps all day. Did a battery pop, reset my data, also reset my APN's and still nothing over a MB. My wife's note2 on a different contract but still on ATT also had zero data not even able to pull simple web pages or even Google Play. Has anyone else experienced the same issue on their phone?

i had this problem when i first got my Note II, one minute i had data the next none at all, ended up going back to ATT and having them replace the phone and the sim. the guy at the store said it was probably a bad sim but since he was a friend he replaced everything for me. I suggest taking both and getting new sims to see if that fixes your problems if that doesnt work then new phones with the new sims
This sounds somewhat like issue i am having. I show some bars and 4g data but when i goto use the data it disconnects. I was thinking this was a problem of weak lte signal and not dropping down to 3g properly, now i think it could be worth a sim swap. The areas i have experienced no data are areas that worked fine on my iphone4.

Any GN2 owners around Chi-town?
Really wondering how the GN2 holds up with data and voice versus the E4GT.
2 biggest issues I have:
1) Signal drops to near 0 inside office
2) 4G? What 4G? (Inside office can't even get 3G!?!)
If LTE will work inside because of being on a different frequency it may be enough to convince the missus.
But if voice and data aren't good she still wants to consider a different carrier.

Everything is crap in the loop. Everything works fine in the burbs. Depends where you use it. Verizon is the best service in the loop for LTE. Sprint is unlimited but uses frequencies and a network that's not built out yet that make it less than optimal. Don't even dream of loop office LTE working well anytime soon.
We're mainly around O'Hare... I work off of Touhy/Higgins and missus works on opposite side. Both of us get great signals outside, it's inside that hurts.
FWIW Tmo and Verizon seem affected... which is why I think it is more the bldg and less the carrier I'm using.
