My data signal turned grey, I had no idea why, I restarted, switched ROMS, and still, the data is gone.
Than I checked the T-Mobile site and my data plan is gone, yet I'm being charged the same amount.
I'm guessing they detected that this is not a T-Mobile phone and disabled it, but seriously, why?
And I can't even call until Tuesday as its memorial day.
Has anyone had trouble with T-Mobile in regards to the Nexus and data?
No but I've had MAJOR data issues on my Verizon Nexus, the reception is garbage I don't care if its the phone, OS, or Verizon , its GARBAGE. My bet is that its the phone.

If it's anything like what I'm experiencing, your problem has nothing to do with T-Mobile; you're simply experiencing the same "data drop" issues that a lot of us are.
I've been trying different ROM/Kernel combinations left and right to see if I can get something that A) I like and B) doesn't have the drops.
So far, from what I can tell, it seems like a lot of people on AOKP are reporting this. Someone in their thread posted to flash the 4.0.3 RIL, but I don't know how eager I am to do that when other people are reporting no drops with ROMs like Slim ICS & LiquidSmooth.
EDIT: Hmm, looks like my data connection is perpetually grayed out as well. I wonder if something is going on?

I have my GNex stock, only root and I have not experienced data drops in mine. And my carrier is Claro...
Methinks T-Mobile has officially effed up. Here's what I got when I tried to open my browser:
You currently do not have data service.
If you want to access the Internet and your current plan does not include data, you must change to a plan with data.
If your current plan includes limited data, your data bucket has been depleted. [It sure as hell hasn't!]
To obtain data service, you can:
-Renew early if your plan allows
-Upgrade to a plan with data or a plan with more data

EDIT: I called T-Mobile's customer service and they said it's a glitch in their system. They turned my service back on.
How do you like T-Mobile overall? Thinking of switching when my contract expires in Sept

By any chance are you on a monthly 4G or other prepaid plan?
Because if so, I've experienced something similar TWICE already...it happens whenever my service is due for renewal..I'm on the $30 100 min unlimited text and 5GB web plan and even though I always make sure to add sufficient funds before my next renewal date, when my renewal date came, I got a similar message...it took a call to customer service to get it resolved...
the second time around I got a $10 credit for my troubles but it is still annoying as hell. The reps also said it was a glitch in their system.
Not happened to me and been running my Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile for over 4 months now (and had T-Mobile for 1.5years total).
I haven't heard of this being a regular issue, and I feel like I follow T-Mobile pretty closely. I highly doubt it has anything to do with you using a GNex on their network, probably just a glitch. Call in and they'll make it right.
Happened to me once over the last month, rebooted phone and it was blue again. On AOKP M5 + Franco M4.
Grey bars means you are not connected to Google's servers.
No signal is NOT a result of grey bars.
As in, if your bars are grey you can still have voice signal and data signal.

Yes, grey bars are caused by no data, not the other way around.
but its clear that T-Mobile has shut off his data for some reason.

I like T-Mobile. I had all major carriers and they all too expensive even tho att and Verizon had some good coverage they charge too much for 5GB and sprint just sucks at the moment T-Mobile has some good plans and data is great
I used to get 8-16mbps on one s and I get from 5-10mbps on my gnex couldn't be any happier

Not so sure about that, I get the grey bars every once in a while, however I still have access to the internet. It usually turns back blue after a few seconds.

No. T-Mobile advertises bringing your own phone to use as a feature. I've never had problems - and I started my T-Mobile account with an AT&T phone, actually.
It's a glitch, it's rare and ridiculous that it happened to you, but it's not the end of the world. Chill out

Woke up late today because phone died. Does WiFi really kill the battery this bad or did I get the grey triangle of death? I have signal where the phone was laying. I'm currently rocking AOKP and Frank (Turtle) kernel.

looks like you totally lost signal and the radio kept trying to find one
Wifi does NOT kill the battery that bad. And the GN in my experience and others too I see has excellent idle life. Something is wrong.
I have WiFi on 24/7 and have no issues. The Verizon phones are meant to have battery issues aren't they (as in ICS not liking them)?
I received this phone through Amazon on Monday. I can recall about 3 different times where I would be using the phone and have great signal and then all of a sudden I would lose internet connection. It would take a minute or so but it would come back. 2 of those occasions happened before I even rooted the phone. Yesterday, it happened when I was on a call. On all occasions I had at least 2 bars if not more when it happened.
Seems to be when the drop happens I also lose voice. Does anyone else have similar problems?
That's due to no cellular reception, not WiFi. The red under, "Mobile Network Signal" represents time where your phone had zero reception.... not to mention that your stats told you that you didn't have signal 93% of the time.

This, exactly. Almost the entire time you were on battery the phone was searching for a cell signal for voice and SMS, killing your battery.

I have never had even a remotely similar experience, it seems that if you were in the same spot that entire time and that happened, the handset may be faulty and you will want to exchange it for a replacement.

Yep. Keep in mind that when your phone loses signal it will increase the power to the radio in an attempt to find a signal (since that's the primary purpose of a phone, or so I'm told). If you know you're in a spot with poor signal, put it in Airplane Mode to keep it from searching (and thus draining the battery).
As mutelight mentions, if your phone is going from good signal to none without moving, there's something else wrong. Trying different radio firmwares may help, or it could be a hardware issue.

What's interesting is I left it on my desk. I get good reception at my desk (get 4G there).
I have the problem that after almost every text message I receive, I lose all voice and data signal, but it comes back within 5-10 seconds later. Very annoying.

That is also not normal behavior. Are you running all stock? If so, definitely seek a replacement.
In those situations, put your phone in airplane mode and turn on wifi.

I just contacted Verizon and Amazon (I bought the phone from them).
Verizon had me pull out the LTE sim and reinsert it. The rep said she did something on her end to refresh my line. I've been around the block to know that means jack **** but we will see.
I spoke with Amazon it was reassuring. If I keep having issues with the signal they will overnight replacement phones. If I keep having an issue with them I can replace them for another phone.
I love this phone so far with the exception of the problem that was stated so far. I already bought all sorts of accessories for the phone. But in the event I have to move on from the GNEX, which phone would you guys recommend?
I like this phone too much to switch to another brand/phone.
I ended up asking Amazon for a replacement phone. Hopefully this new phone comes without issues.

Good.
I couldn't come up with a phone I'd rather have than the GNex :-D
Just got the brand new replacements from Amazon. Same exact problem. After speaking to Verizon and Amazon, I'm going to replace the sim. If my problem does not resolve itself, looks like I'm going to AT&T for the Galaxy Note.
Wish me luck!

it could be that you lost signal and the phone was unable to get it back for some reason even though you were in a good reception area. Some of the radios that i tried had problems going from edge to 3G and would either take too long or not be able to go back to 3g again. i would try flashing 4.0.3 or a different radio.
Conclusion to the story.
I ended up getting the sim cards replaced. Same issue. I was even able to show the rep. Looks like I'm going to end up getting the Galaxy Note.
Thanks to those who replied and read the thread.
Sorry Verizon LTE. It was nice while it lasted (or connected) ;_;
have you tried different roms/kernels ?
try to switch it off of 4g
it definitely seems to be a connection issue
I had this exact problem with my first Gnex. Left it unplugged on the nightstand and woke to a dead phone. Same battery profile: No mobile signal and a steep discharge graph. My wife's Gnex, 6 ft away in the same room, was just fine.
Verizon swapped me a new phone and I haven't seen that problem again. To be fair, I've only repeated the conditions a few times, so it's hardly conclusive.

I'm sure sprint is just doing maintenance on the tower but this is the second time that I've lost data after midnight. I know it isn't the phone because I checked another sprint phone and its doing the same thing. Right now I'm on 4g. I should speed test it. Its either that or wifi. In the morning I'm sure it will be back up.
It actually happened to me earlier like a full blown los with the circle with the line through it but it came back like right after it happened which it usually doesn't
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I don't have the los symbol, I only have the bars and no 3g or 1x. 4g works sporatically.
Its been happening to me too, along with the occasional LOS
Same issue here. I first thought I messed up my modem by flashing ek02 from eg30, but I noticed with fb21 modem that it's more stable. However, my wi-fi is less stable. Weird stuff.

I've been seeing 1x show up sporadically over the past couple of weeks, too. Poos up for a minute or two, then goes back to 3g. This is in places where I've always had steady 3g coverage.

I've been having a similar problem. Additionally, it's been taking longer for my phone to reconnect to 3g after losing WiFi or 4g connectivity.
It turns out that after 12 hours I still didn't have data. I called *2 and they said there wasn't an outtage. I am at work so I wouldn't get home to call on different phone to troubleshoot for another ten hours. I went back into recovery and did full wipe of everything and the full format zip. I then installed a rom full install and flashed the el29 modem then rebooted. It worked. I think when restoring a nandroid then flashing a modem it hosed the 3g. Its fixed now. Funny how when I tried to restore it said one was corrupted. Weird
Same to me me today. Had full signal but no data or txting ... Was like wtf

My 3g icon stays on even if I disable 3g data. Really weird

I work for a cell phone provider and we partner with sprint as a roaming partner.. We had tons of calls coming in on the day you made the post of data loss.. Tier 1 troubleshooting and a little bit of probing questions and finally a call to tech support we found most with he issue were roaming.. We checked our AAA tool and switch and verified with the customer that they were roaming on the sprint network.. After calling tech.. We were advised that sprint had a nationwide data outage.. People were having no data at all, intermittent, slow, timed out connections, and they ha no ETA.. It caused a bunch of havoc, i cant have my phone on at work but before and after it did work fo me.. Im in phx with no 4g here.. However im either at work or at home.. And when im home im on wifi.. So i rarely have time to test sprints network.. I also have the airave at home.. What i do know tho, is sprints network isnt the best, and they would never admit to a network fail like that.. Then again could have been there associate and didnt know what he was saying..
Edit: entire ride home, and on airave is 1x.. Ive had 3g icon come on constantly and stay on even with wifi on and 3g off completely.. Also had gps get stuck on.. Had to reflash the rom for that one

I haven't checked yet, but i think sprint is doing some network upgrades here.
I can't get and explanation as to why I live 5 blocks from 4g coverage yet require and air rave and have spotty coverage. Very disappointing that I cant my moneys worth for the $10/month premium data fee.
All that said, I will never find a better price for a 5 phone family plan, soon to be 6.

We have the latest smart phones but cant use to its fulk capabilities because network is horrible anyone else getting ready to leave sprint it makes me mad that i have full bars and i cant not use web
Im on my SG3
Seeing as I just came from T mobile it is amazing to see how drastically different the networks are. I will tell you that the LTE is pretty amazing (I live in Kansas City) the few times I have been able to get it so it gives me some confidence that it will catch up pretty soon.
I used to have tmobile and it was pretty crappy im in chicago and i hope this network issue speeds up cuz its getting annoying

You knew this before you bought the SIII. Fortunately for me, I do live in one of the launch cities for their LTE. While it is still spotty where I live, I am seeing the 3G boost.

I think he is one of those never happy customers.
Complained about TMobile, complains about sprint. IF he went to att he would find something to complain about them as well.
If your unhappy with it do something about it other then letting us know your not happy.
IF you need the number to Sprint let me know, i will google it for you..
Im on Sprint. I am patient enough to wait out the issues and am finally seeing some improvement..
Sprint has best price and best phone selection.
Been with Sprint for more then 8 years...I've had my issues but they aren't enough for me to complain about and I can do everything on my phone with their 3G service.

If you posted this from your phone, logged onto this forum and made a thread. Is that not using the full capacity of the service provider on your mobile device?
Most people here have been with sprint prior to coming to the S3 and we just deal with it mostly because of price and unlimited data. It's pretty well known that sprint doesn't have the best coverage (could change in the future) and if this is a deal breaker for anyone then that person should've researched more before signing on.

If you're near Chicago it may be an issue with the pending upgrade to LTE.
I just came to Sprint from Verizon because Verizon is too expensive and because they (and the handset manufacturers whose phones they sell) lock everything down so tightly. I really got fed up with them when they claimed that the OG Droid (which I owned) was not capable - from a hardware standpoint - of wireless tethering when my Droid was rooted and I was actually tethering. Sprint's coverage is currently not as good as Verizon, but it is cheaper, it is unlimited data, and I think it will be much better coverage when the upgrade to LTE is done and they "turn on the switch." Until the upgrade is done why don't you just quietly "ride out the storm."
That being said, I get 4G about 80% of the time and am getting about 15M up and 1.9M . Maybe you can look forward to that.
Sprint does do things as- backwards,
Sprint was the First with the Best 4G device available, the Evo 4G, but most customers never saw Wimax to take full advantage of the Evo's capabilities.
I didn't see Wimax until over a year later, and I was one of the fortunate ones
All the promises by Sprint regarding Wimax coming to your city soon, were emptier than a pot full of gold left in the middle of Times Square at High Noon.
Now we have LTE, well most really don't, at least for now.
I do hope that LTE is not rolled out like Wimax Never was.
Hey, I got my S3 without LTE availability yet. Was this a smart choice? Probably not. But I like the S3 if it begins to have the ability to make calls without constantly dropping them.
Hopefully the LF9 modem takes care of this.
Yet I digress.
As I said, Sprint's track record has been poor regarding rolling out Networks. I will be happy if LTE proves me wrong........

You do know that Sprint is currently in a total rebuild of the Chicago system with the Network Vision/LTE upgrade. According to S4GRU.com they are about 40% built, with an estimated deployment of September 2012. When they rebuild a market there are disruptions.
I, on the other hand am in a market not even scheduled for LTE yet.
I've never in m whole life used a gsm phone. I have the unlocked nexus and got myself tmobile service. It was the best coverage for the cost. But it seems my data speeds are sh*tty. Everything is super slow. Do I have to configure my phone for proper use with tmo? Everything seems to be OK except data. I've checked coverage I'm all green everywhere, doesn't make sense. Here's a screen cap of a speed test.

have you tested the speed in another location? example if that test was done at home, do one at work/school and compare
if it is just as slow you can try flashing a different radio..
i have generally been getting about 3-10 mbps depending on where i am/time of test...faster speeds as it gets later (network traffic slows down quite a bit at night around 10pm-midnight)
Somethings not right there. Did you just activate the service? Sometimes it can take a couple days for everything to get squared away on T-Mobile's end.
Also, have you double checked your APN settings to make sure everything is in order?
I'd also try some reboots and airplane cycles to make sure its connecting. Although it looks like you've got full HSPA+ connectivity. It could also just be a fluke with the tower you're on or the speedtest server you're testing on.

I'm not bootloader unlocked or even rooted for that matter. When I do I will play around with radios. I even tried googling a way to force 3g instead of HSPA+ to make sure it wasn't the tower. No luck yet. I did a speed test at my home and it was the same. The speed test I posted was at work.

APNs seem right from what I can remember.
I think you either have a SIM problem, a tower problem, or data hasn't been activated properly on your account. I'd give it another full day (T-Mo can be slow to activate fully), and if its not working, call and tell them your phone's data speed is extremely slow. They can try to reset it on their end (or send new SIM) or check for a tower issue.
Did you get the 200MB plan and use it all up? Because they throttle you when you use it all up. Them look like throttled speeds to me.
Or maybe, they are throttling you by mistake...
Also, have you restarted your phone?
Power it off for a bit. Pull the battery... then start it back up. I've seen that fix MANY things, and it's easy.
I have the 30 dollar 5gb data 100 mins unlim text.

This is the official T-Mobile app that'll show your account info... Can't hurt.

I rebooted and I DL the app I will post this and leave it off for a bit without the battery. Thank you guys so much for your help so far.

Really just think T-Mobile needs to finish the activation and the speeds will be fixed.

Looks like everything is as it should be. T-Mobile Monthly4G tech support is nice... but difficult to understand. I'd keep my hopes up.
OK. I'll leave it for a few days and if its still not working I'll give em a call. Once again thank you.

So its been about three days and its still the same. I flashes a few different radio firmwares and I found one that will give me anywhere from .1 to .3Mbps down. I have opened a ticked with T-Mobile thinking it may be the tower(s) in my town. Haven't heard back yet but I want to keep this updated. If it doesn't work out I will probably end up going with an at&t mnvo

The same things is with my phone. Three days since activation and data speeds are 1x slow. It's time to play with radios
I've tried more radios than I can count. So I ordered an st att sim and got it activated today. There is a huuuge difference from .05 tmo to 3.5 att st so I guess even if coverage is good and they say its fine there are some places where the actual back haul of the network is seriously lacking. If it still doesn't work for you go ahead and try a different provider. Made a world of difference for me.

If you look at the support pages for specs it tells you it has CIQ. It even has instructions on how to opt out.

Here's the link to where it says it has Carrier IQ installed.
Here's the link on how to turn it off. It's in your Users Manual on Page 346.

thank you very much, just got rid of that ****
I removed Carrier IQ using Logging TestApp Pro at home last night on WiFi. When I left my house today, where I would normally get a great HSPA+ signal I'm getting about 10-50Kbps bandwidth with a full signal. I am clearly being throttled. Not sure if it's because of CIQ or not, but it is highly coincidental timing.
Has anyone else removed CIQ and still getting normal speeds? FYI I'm on Monthly4G $30 plan with 5GB data and I'm only at 1.2GB used right now.
UPDATE: Restored to a Nandroid from before I attempted to remove CIQ, and my data returned to full speed. I'm going to try additional methods of removing CIQ and retaining data speed...

I have remove 2 days ago and no problem with the 4g speed
I kind of assumed it was there when the phone gave me some message about the keystrokes would be logged to help the smart keyboard detection learn or some such but it also seemed to imply you could opt out and took me to the settings screen. Of course now that I'm looking for that particular spot in settings I can't seem to find it.
can you remove this without root?

Whoops, yah meant $699, the guy helping also thought $650, but when we looked at the fine print it was more like $699, maybe it's 650 after rebate...
Any of you currently selling your note 1? How much you getting it for and when do you think it's the best time to swap in terms of spending the least amount of money?
Sorry if this is considered hijacking

$649.95 + NJ Sales tax. Paid that yesterday. SOME STORES are handing out a load of BS saying they have to charge $50 for ACTIVATION FEE on prepaid accounts. I left that store and went to 2 others. The first confirmed $649+tax but didn't have the grey so I went to the 2nd and paid $649 + tax because they had one.
Neither of those stores even mentioned the add'l $50 but the price definitely is $649 and that is what it read on the display cards.

My $199 TMo Note 2 is arriving today.
I was hoping it had a similar setup to the S III where you simply go to settings/Backup and reset/ and make sure "Collect diagnostics" is not checked. That was taken from the TMo support site to shut off CarrierIQ.

Look at the post above yours. I have a screenshot posted. It's the same as the Galaxy S3.
