I've searched for a solution to this and not found a clear answer. I apologize if I missed something obvious.
I loaded CyanogenMod 11 (cm-11-20131126-unofficial-t0lte) on my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 (I317) last week. No problems with the install. The first time I was away from wi-fi I noticed it would drop the data connection. Didn't do this prior to the install. I was last using JediX19 (with no data connection drops, but the phone would occasionally shut itself down). Looking for a solution, I found a similar problem someone was having with T-Mobile and making a phone call resets the data connection. I've been loading the nightlies as they come out and they all work fine, but the phone still drops the data connection regularly.
My questions are: should my AT&T phone work with the t0lte version? Do I need to go back to CM10.1 or 10.2? Could I keep using CM11 if I update my radio? If so, which version do I want to choose?
Thanks,
OKMD

So i was wondering if anyone else is having this issue.
for reference, I am on VZW, with the 4.1.1 radios (as the updated 4.2 radios had me locked into 3G no matter what, at work)
and i ALWAYS do a complete wipe (data/cache/dalvik/system) between ROM flashes.
4.3 bootloader as well.
anyway, this has been an issue since 4.3 hit my device...anything from pure AOSP to CM builds.
when I am on 3G, the bars will go gray and i cannot pull down data at all. (and yes i know the difference between blue and gray bars, I'm saying ANYTHING will say "network not available" not just google apps)
toggling data on/off fixes the problem. I ususally run into this problem 2-3 times a day and it is ALWAYS on 3G.
its not a huge deal, just more annoying than anything else. just wondering if I am alone here. going to be giving the 4.2.2 radios another chance and see if that fixes things.
Having this exact issue...it's driving me nuts as well. At this point I believe I've tried every radio with no luck. Going to try jumping back to 4.2 soon to see if it solves the issue.
Me too

I love how much fast my GNex is on 4.3, but I don't think I can deal with this data bull**** much longer. Frankly, I'm really getting tired of getting a new version of Android, being happy at first, then finding the HUGE bug that makes my phone a horror to use. WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN THINE VZW GNEX, GOOGLE!?!?
Just an update, as I updated my radios right around the time I updated to 4.3. I just switched back to CM 10.1 and all my data connection issues went away. That means it definitely has to do with 4.3 builds and not the radio firmware.

That's right, 4.3 sucks.

Edit build.prop and include this line:
ro.telephony.default_cdma_sub=0
Data issues are being reported on nearly every rom for the gnex. My data reconnect /switch went from about 60 - 90 secs to a reasonable 5-10. (don't forget to reboot to apply changes)

So happy I found this thread!
I'm having the SAME issue: GSM i9250 on Straight talk ATT sim (apn setting are updated and correct). Stock not rooted; been happening since 4.3 Update. From what I've read even folks on the N4 are having similar issues.
I've factory reset 3-4 times for testing purposes (back to "normal" for about an hour then those pesky gray bars and NO data on 3G/4G).
I have to do the airplane mode toggle every 1/2 hour if I'm really using the internet. Big pain in the ass!
I always rooted my devices in the past and haven't done the GNEX because I always felt stock was smooth enough for my purposes (quasi-work-phone and I need stability). If I have to deal with this bull-sh&% I'm probably gonna have to root and install a 4.2 ROM.
Any-whoo...thanks for letting me rant :^)
Hopefully "kit-kat" will help?
same issue its very annoying... did anyone find the fix ??

Is this a fix?
My issue seems to be on 4g as well. If the phone switches from wifi to 4g or if it goes from 4g to 3g and back to 4g it shows a connection with bars but never connects to data again.
Hey guys - my VZW Gnex (it's a refurb to replace my old one with a bad screen) has been having excessive network dropouts lately. When I boot the phone, it doesn't acquire signal for over a minute, when I place a call I lose signal afterwards, and data drops out randomly. The device will say it's connected (blue bars), although I cannot use the internet. Also, it'll randomly loose cellular connectivity, although indicate that it has signal. I'll go to send a text and it'll immediately have send errors, and I am unable to make or receive calls, even though it shows I have signal. To fix, a reboot is always necessary. This has happened on 4.3 (crDroid) and 4.2.2 (CM 10.1.3 stable). It has happened across all the different radios, 4.0.4 and up, and across several different kernels. Does anyone have suggestions, the phone isn't really usable if people can't get in touch and I'm unaware that they can't.
EDIT: When I go into the phone info menu *#*#4636*#*# when the radio has no data, it says preferred network is "unknown." If I change it, the setting immediately goes back to unknown.
U might need to go through the insurance and get another one.

This is a known issue with 4.3 ROMs. I'm not sure about 4.2.2. It looks like CM 10.2 may have a fix for it in the next nightly. One known fix is to edit build.prop to include
ro.telepohny.default_cdma_sub=0
Thank has worked for me.

I've added that line, doesn't help
Hello all!
I am having constant data issues all day where I go to use an app that needs it, it says that no data connection can be found or something. I turn the radio off, turn it back on and then it works. It's a good work-around but it does get very annoying. I've tried multiple 4.4.2 roms but no avail. I tried a different kernel but I couldn't even use the phone. Any ideas?
Same for me; I'm rooted now but it happened before root and after the JB ota updates. Annoying but otherwise I love this phone
I think this has been a known issue since ICS (I could be wrong though).
If anyone knows a fix that would be cool (I have GSM google play gnex)
My issues started late last night, lost data connection and it didn't come back. On my way home, it connected then lost again at home. Went to Verizon today and they couldn't figure it out, said possibly the radio is taking a crap.
On my way to work, it connects then gone. I tried flashing the radio, pulled battery, booted without sim, formatted cache and delvic. I have tried everything and think it's the end of the line for it
I've been rooted since the day I got it and had the issue once a while back but it straightened out and has been great since.
Certain CyanogenMod ROMs have trouble with the Network Modes sticking. Which carrier are you using? For my carrier, I had to have the correct APNs set to get 4G and MMS working. It might be that this is the problem in most cases, especially when the phone switches between 4G and 3G in spotty areas.
Noob post incoming. I did my best to search around and didn't find much. Hate creating a new thread but was locked out from posting in CM dev thread for obvious reasons. Not too experienced in the world of root, so forgive my ignorance. This will hopefully be a quick question:
I've tried running the CM nightlies for the last two days on my T-Mobile M8, and the only big problem is a complete lack of cell data. It displays that I have bars, and while it cuts in and out often (which I expect), I can't get a drop of data to go through. Even at full bars.
I've seen a few people mention connection issues, but didn't see anyone saying anything about a complete lack of cell data. I'd normally just chalk it up to being a nightly build issue, but since I can't find it mentioned elsewhere, I'm wondering if maybe I'm just doing something wrong. If not, no worries, but I'd be stoked if I can run it as a daily at the moment.
Anyone have any advice on what I might be doing wrong, or how I can resolve it?
Edit:
Chrome itself displays error that "Wi-Fi and mobile data are turned off" when only wifi is turned off.
I just tested calling and SMS and both are working with Wi-Fi off. So obviously I'm maintaining some type of radio connection.
Thanks a ton in advance!
New nightly. Same problems.
Bump.
@thefunkyprimer
I just got your PM. Unfortunately I know nothing about T-Mobile and/or why you would be having the issues. What have you tried? Switching APNs? Switching from 3G to 4G? I also haven't run CM longer than five minutes in a couple years. So I'm not much use in terms of running it personally.
Try my ROM and see if data works for you. That's pretty much all I got for you at the moment. But if you did try my ROM and data works, that might be a starting point. Make sure to fully wipe your device prior to flashing.
I have been using a galaxy note 8.0 from over seas as my phone in the states for some time. calling was in and out on older cm11 builds, but i wasnt really concerned.
however, just recently, it has decided not to receive data from att. I can still send text messsages, bluetooth is up, wifi works fine, but data just wont connect. now, ive recent reflashed my modem, like the last time it did this, and after an apn reset and reboot, it picked up. I only stayed connected for about 4 hours, and its back down again. Im currently on the latest nightly from cm 12.1 (i was on one from a little while back, data went down on that build, so i figured an update couldnt really hurt)
now, i seem to be the only human with this problem. no threads directly relate, but some threads have tossed me some directions. so far, i need to figure out if my modem build is even the right one. from there- im lost. sorry. ive been way out of this game for so long. anyone have a direction to point me or need any information from me?
mods: i figure posts on this are sparse enough i might be okay to ask. I did search, and if theres a thread covering this, i must really suck at looking
