Sometimes I have to reboot the phone too to get data network to work again. I'm on stock JB.

Yes, I experienced that. All ROMs, all basebands. Seems to be an hardware issue. My Nexus is sent in because of that right now, and I hope it gets replaced.
Oh, and: Rebooting didn't help in any way. Network was before and after just the same: Plain horrible.
Exactly like that Phantom. Is many experience this problem? Maybe everybody with a GNexus? Is this problem serious enough to get a new phone? It's quite disturbing, it feels like my mobile will never be stable.

Hey there,
I have exactly the same problem with GNexus. Wifi works fine, but 3G randomly stops working (can't check email, facebook and browse), reboot does help, but it's very annoying to turn off and on mobile phone. Did anyone manage to fix this problem or did you get a new phone?
Same problem even on 4.2
Hey guys,
I was wondering if you got any news about this as the problem is still persistent on stock 4.2.
One difference I noticed since 4.1 is that the data connection will rapidly switch from 3G to HSPA when the loss of connection appears. It doesn't solve the problem though...
For me, it seems the issue comes when you switch from HSPA to WiFi to HSPA and from HSPA to 2G/Edge to HSPA (and maybe after a long period of HSPA).
Never had a problem in 2G so I force it to avoid the reboot most of the time but it's slow...
I used my Galaxy Nexus on Tmobile in the US and on Free Mobile in France. So it's definitely not a provider problem I guess...
But on these two data plans, I have a limit of HSPA usage (3GB) which then should force the connection to 2G. So would the usage check by the provider would somehow mess up with the data connection?
Anyway, any info on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I am having this issue as well. My roommate and we both have nexus 4 hers does not have this problem I am wondering what could be causing my phone to keep switching from 3g to HSPA + besides the sim

Anyone come up with a fix for this? Been searching all night and nothing useful except reboot which doesn't work. I'm getting the same problem on mine. After having the phone for a year or so, it just decided to go into this "Phantom Airplane mode" Only thing I did recently was I switched to T Mobile Straight Talk sim, because Straight Talk didn't have any more AT&T sim cards and I thought it was the sim card. This is just annoying me. lol. I tried everything, from reflashing to stock rom, to cm10.1, flashed some radios and basebands and nothing. I don't even know if I can get a replacement or fixed because it has been over a year which sucks. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

That was the problem I had with mine. I tried everything from wiping, to putting ROMs on to stock and still had the issues. Check your information like imei in your settings and if you have a lot of unknown s then you may have to send it in like I did.

Its somewhat sporadic but like just now I'm in an area of full hspa coverage and then all of a sudden the signal dies and it says no service. Usually an airplane mode toggle does the trick but this time I had to restart the phone to get it back. I just had installed widgetsoid so not sure if its related but I've uninstalled it for now. Anybody see similar?

I have not experienced this with Tmobile and the nexus but I know if you used a toggle app for some Verizon lte phones you would have to call in and provision the phone again..had widgetsoid installed earlier but did not fool with the toggles

I sometimes lose my signal exiting the subway. It's like it just doesn't reconnect. It has happened on my nexus s as well.

What baseband are you guys running?
If your APN settings for Data have a proxy entered, try removing it as well as the port. That can cause issues sometimes.
The above is assuming your carrier would allow you to use it without the proxy.

This sounds like the problem I have. I think its just a T-Mobile issue since I remember having this issue a few times on Sensation. I just hope they try to fix this in future basebands and software.

try contacting them and have them reset your connection to the tower???
dunno if that would help, but i always do that when i switch out my phones.

It doesn't happen that often. Its actually rather rare. My SIM is pretty old, I've had it since before TMo even got 3G. I was thinking of going into a store and asking for a replacement just to rule that out.

I as well have the exact same problem with the Mytouch. I have found that keeping it at 2G will preserve my connection though at limited speeds and I can simply bump up to 3/4G when I have to. It kinda sucks due to the reconnection time but it saves me battery and random signal loss

Is it me or do I seem to always have an issue with data and my phone. There are many times when I go to pick it up to use and the data, either 3G or 4G, is greyed out.
I've noticed it even if I switch my phone to CDMA only.
Any suggestions on how to fix it other than the obvious reboot or airplane mode?
Unfortunately, this might just be reception issues in your area. I have no LTE problems where I live.
That's what I'm thinking. The phone may just not know what mode to chose cause I'm in between the two.
I have to bump this thread. I'm sick of this. I can hardly ever send MMS messages when I'm on WiFi.
I'm not in a 4G area, that I know. I was successful in updating my PRL which I thought fixed my issue, but didn't.
It's not like I have no signal, 1 bar, -90dBm in my house. Even switching the phone to 3G only doesn't fix this. Rebooting is my only option, as turning on airplane mode doesn't help.
Does anyone else have issues connecting to data? I'm tempted to root, just to flash a new(er) radio, but I don't feel like restoring my phone.
Have you tried updating to the new radio?

I live in a spotty 4g area so its constantly switching from 3g to 4g and before it locks onto one signal it always does the stupid grey bar deal and sometimes it won't lock on at all even though I'm in a strong (3g) area. Restarting the phone works sometimes. All I know is that it better be fixed soon or this phone will be going back.

Yup, this is the issue I have. I can have strong 3G signal (all bars grey) but it just won't connect. Airplane mode sometimes fixes it, but I usually have to reboot the damn thing.

I thought about taking it in and replacing it.... I don't have any reception issues, just this issue with the phone not wanting to get on data about 50% of the time.
A few weeks ago I started to have this problem; i'm ussually connected to the HDSPA network, but the phone turns data off all the time and the only way to get the signal back is rebooting (even turning on and off plane mode doesn't solve it). Calls work perfectly.
I'm on stock 4.0.4, no modified kernels or roms. My carrier is Simyo, Spain.

That´s not my problem; the phone functions work great all the time, but data connection goes off. It happened when I was on 4.0.2 and now on 4.0.4 the issue is still there.
I too am having this same issue with a GSM Galaxy Nexus on stock yakju 4.0.4, but I'm in Canada on the Bell network, and did change the radio to the one they install on their phones.
I've been having this same problem just in the last day or two, ever since I enabled NFC. 4.04, stock kernel, calls go through as normal but no network data. When I disable NFC, everything is back to normal. Anyone else notice conflict with NFC enabled?

I believe this is with the 4.0.4 IMM76D build, it's fixed on 4.0.4 IMM76I.
Again, what the OP has reported, and I am experiencing the same, is that network connectivity does not drop, rather that at least in some scenarios (as is my experience with NFC enabled) network data drops. Really curious if anyone else out there has seen the same on the most recent build and in particular if anyone else has seen a conflict with NFC enabled.
Try matching your radio interface layer with the radio version. This app will help

RIL and baseband matching here too. Thx for suggestion though. Handy little app too.
Unrelated, perhaps.
Sorry, but this might not be related: I have an issue with the phone going into 2G when I'm at work -- 23rd floor office. I must manually change it to 2G/Edge every time. All the other folks around me seem to continue without issue and are able to make calls although their signal isn't too hot. GetRIL says baseband and RIL match. I'm using XXLA2 on AT&T in NYC.
Tried searching around for a solution, but I'm not finding anything.
I had the data drop issue as well, not sure if this is related, but around the same time I matched up my RIL, I also switched from francokernel to glados. I have been using glados 1.34 & have not had the issue since.

I've noticed that data connection seems to drop when I switch apps. Does this happen to anybody else? Whenever I switch from one app to another, say from Chrome to Twitter, data connection is lost and then reconnects in about 5 to 10 seconds. There's been occasions when I've lost network signal completely and the only fix, other than to reboot, seems to be to turn airplane mode on and to turn it off again.
I have a GSM Gnex. Is this a hardware problem or will it be fixed with 4.0.5?
I am running the latest cm10 nightly and I haven't been able to connect to 4g lte for the last week or two. Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone found a solution?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Which market are you in? There's a chance that the tower was only on for testing and has since been turned off. There's also a chance that another tower closer to you is currently being upgraded, so the phone is trying to connect to that tower's LTE, getting rejected, and falling back to 3G. That's what's happening to me, and it's frustrating because I had a steady 4G signal for a week and a half, then one day, it refused to stay connected to 4G for longer than a minute. Now, I just have to wait for them to finish the new tower.
The reason could be just about anything depending on your market.
I am in the Atlanta market which has been officially announced. Friends that live nearby have not been having this problem on stock ux software. I was wondering if cm10 has a big or something?

Actually, it has a couple LTE bugs. CM10 doesn't currently handle 3G/4G handoffs properly, so that could be part of the issue, but it holds a 4G connection fine if the signal is strong enough, at least from my experience. Another bug is that it will just stop making connections, and you have to wipe data to fix it. Have you tried toggling airplane mode? If that doesn't work, make a nandroid and try a clean install of CM10. I had to do that recently because it completely stopped connecting to 4G and barely connected to 3G. As soon as I booted up, 4G was back (didn't last long, but I explained that in my other post). If wiping data doesn't work, flash to TW and see if the problem persists. If it still doesn't connect, then you may have a hardware issue, but I think that's unlikely since it was working for you before. You never know, though.
Keep in mind, even though Atlanta's been officially launched, it's only about one third complete, so lots of towers are still being upgraded. It's possible you're facing the second issue in my first post, like I am. If so, then just concentrate on how much better it'll be when the new tower is finished.

Happened to me several times. The best thing you can do is make a nandroid once you get your favorite AOSP rom set up to your liking, and restore to it once LTE stops working. I tried to get myself to go to TW but its just so slow

I have a similar issue. If i go into settings, about phone, and status I pick up LTE:13, but I get no connection or IP address so I have to change over to 3g. Is this a known issue, and if so is it being addressed? I am currently running nightly 10-14-2012 if it helps. Thanks
Edit: I've tried TW and it works just fine there. 14 down and 6 up.
Its likely to do with cm10. And the handoff issue like it was explained a few posts back. I love cm10 but data would work if u was lucky for 2 hours out of the whole day. So I'm on the leaked lih build. Just gotta wait patiently for the great devs to figure it out.

Hello folks,
I seem to be having some strange issues with mobile internet on O2.
I have been with them since October 2012 when I got the GN2 and everything has been fine up until 1 maybe 2 months ago when I noticed by phone was connecting to H+, which I had never seen with O2 in my city before. Normally it would always be on H, or occasionally 3G... both of which would work no problems. Now, I know what the different connection types are, but the problem is that now whenever it’s on H+ mobile connection around 80% of the time it’s either super slow, or simply doesn’t let me load any web pages or refresh any apps that require data connection. I often have to search for the network again just to get it to work. When it is still on H or 3G everything is fine... it’s just H+ that seems to be causing problems.
Also, around two or three days ago I also started having problems sending and receiving texts.
I’m on Wanam v2.9 with old DLK7 modem, however I was using this long before the problem first started so I don’t think it’s the cause. APN settings are same as always and I took the SIM card out, cleaned it and made sure it was in properly but all to no avail.
I will try calling O2 later, but their customer service is notoriously crap so I thought I’d ask here first.
Cheers,
Lee
