It's common for all devices to display what type of signal you are using?
Maybe turning mobile data off will help, but even then I would still expect it to be displayed.

IT can take several days for new EE contracts to give you data access, if after a few days it still is not fixed he will have to call them.

okay so I still see some people are having trouble with wifi and 4g being on at the same time or wifi cutting out. Well I had this same problem and it has been fixed for some time. Allgamer I know there is certain threads on this but no one really ever said or posted what the fix was and I have helped a few people out on this in the past few days. so I dont know if you feel cool with this or not but this has been proven to fix the wifi and 4g on at same time issue or wifi cutting out..... Now most people have the t-mobile my account app installed on there phone. I did because i like to keep tabs on where my data is for the month. I had wifi troubles it wouldnt stay connected and the 4g icon would show when i had wifi on so I found a thread that talked about uninstalling the t-mobile my account app. so I tryed it and couldnt believe what i saw thinking this was a crazy idea! So basically I went to titanium backup and froze the app i had wifi on at the time and of course 4g was showing. well as soon as i froze the app the 4g icon went away! i said no way so i had unfroze it just to test and bang 4g came back on with wifi. So basically the t-mobile my account is the culprit it is probably another way for t-mobile to spy on our data ever since i froze this app my wifi stays on when connected and never a problem coming out of sleep it doesnt disconnect. and now when i want to check data for the month i just unfreeze for 2 minutes check it then refreeze it ..... so if u have wifi and data problems it is most likely the t-mobile my account app so uninstall it!!!
Very interesting... I froze it in TB...and you were absolutely right. 4G/H icon went away when I'm on Wi-Fi.

That app somehow only wants to work on cell data it seems. I could have swore they released a version that worked over wifi a while back.

Yea i noticed that like if u do happen to just have wifi on and u actually try to go into the app the 4g symbol comes on too! Its crazy on my old g2x if i tried to go into the app while wifi was on it would not let me go into the app until i cut wifi off and just had data on. Thats not the case with the s2. So maybe it isnt optimized for our phones yet? Definitely needs some fixing to say the least

LOL i'll have to admit i was too lazy to read through that wall of text
the only thing i picked up from the wall was AllGamer blah blah blah, but then i was too lazy to dig out the original topic that had the solution to the problem
I have no signal on my galaxy nexus. It just started doing this today, haven't had a problem for 3 months or so. It just started today, and once in a while there is a little R above where the signal bars would normally be. How do you fix this?
The R is for roaming and just go to settings then mobile settings then click on system select and click on home only and also click on network mode and just click on CDMA/EdVo auto and that should help it to not roam and stay on sprints signal hope that helps ..let me know if u need any other help and also make sure u updated to latest PRL
Dude mine just started doing this yesterday look at top right of screen shot no signal !!

Mine did the same thing too -- lost signal - Google GSM play store phone that was less than two weeks old.
After few reboots trying to diagnose the issue, the IMEI changed to UNKNOWN in the "about phone" -> status
/factory was intact and undamaged - a backup of /factory - showed that none of the files had changed. The radio appears to have failed..
Called Sammy and got replacement cross-shipped - and sent the broken one back..
Got a new Sim card works fine
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Mines done this several times and it always took about two reboots to get a signal again. It said I needed to insert a valid sim card...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Even without a a sim I used to get bars and "Emergency calls only" - After it flacked out, I would no longer get any bars.. when I tried to search for networks it would error out immediately. I tried three different sims, none of them were recognized..
Once in a while, my phone will loose data connection. The 'data icon' in the status bar, turn from blue to grey and the only way to get data working again, is to reboot the phone.
Had it happen a couple times now. Airplane mode toggle on/off works to fix it.
Mine losses connection when I leave a WiFi network. Also here and there it looses signal so bad I have to go into airplane mode and back to land mode.

Mine is doing the same thing whats going on? How do you fix this problem? Is it ST network issue?
Hmm last time airplane mode didn't work for me. Will try again next time. I also think it happens when I leave wifi.
take out your battery and then restart your phone. if that does not work. check in your network settings and make sure you are on the correct network for your carrier. if that still does not work, go to your local store and see if they can warranty you out a phone or check your settings

It's not neccesary to take out the battery, a restart of the phone is enough. It's just an annoying problem.

I understand that but there has to be fix right? As soon as i reboot the phone it works but it seems like whenever it changes cell towers signals it locks up again. Crazy thing is all the signal bars on my phone are full green, but have no data until i reboot.
Anyone that has a sprint note 2 all of a sudden lose data connection for like a few minutes? If so have yall found a fix? Kinda annoying when the time you really need the phone the internet isnt working right away. Other than that the phone is still amazing!

hey mate.
same problem here in Italy with TIM operator.
They said me that is a problem of cell location as the problem occours only when I am in some location in my city and not, for example, in my work city (Milan)
Furthermore, I have not experienced this problem with other operators which I tried so in my case it's absolutely a provider problem! Have you tried another sim card?
(I'll descrive my problem as you can say we are talking about the same: when I'm connected (and only when I am!) I see the icon H/3G in the top right of the device. In few minutes this icon disapppears and for 1-2minutes I'm not able to use data connection, even if the data is still active of course!After this short period the icon appears again and so on and on!).

Well, at least it's not just me. Don't know if that makes it better or worse. Awesome phone, but this has been annoying lately because it keeps going out at really inopportune moments. Guess it's just a tower thing.
Any of u guys having issues where data just stops working and nothing would load? i have to toggle airplane mode work it to work again
Thank god

I have the same issue, and this is one of the only posts about it. Have you found a way to fix it? I'm at a point where I'm about to just sell this. I can't get anything done. Do you by chance have T-Mobile?
Same issue. T-Mobile here. Doesn't disturb me enough to sell the phone, haven't had the issue since going to a custom ROM. I'm sure it'll be fixed with OTA's or whatever.
Hello
i have the same problem
i am on VIPNET Croatia
is some fix coming soon
it is very annoying
Really nice to know I'm not the only one. But my god, it's getting worse as time goes on. I'm at the point where I can't even get data unless I reboot the phone 5-6 times, and only for a few seconds. I am completely out of ideas.

please can you tell me witch coustom rom did you put in htc M8
and solve the data issue
i am going crazy with this phone
and i want to put same coustom rom like you
to get problem fix
please help
I have been using my m8 since the day I got it back in early April and have never experienced that issue. I am also on tmo but have the dev edition with stock rom but I live in the city so I always get a strong and good signal.
Possible solution
My M8 worked great for a month when about a week ago I've started having serious issues with the HSPA data.
After working great for a few minutes the data stopped working.
The H icon showed that traffic was sent from the phone but no traffic received by the phone.
Sometimes the data connection was restored by itself and sometimes I has to toggle the data connection off/on to have it restored.
It both cases the data connection failed again after several minutes.
All the diagnostics app showen that there was hspa connection.
After trying almost anything I could think of I found out what causes my problem:
It's the F**** NFC!!!
I've forgot that a week ago I've disabled the NFC thinking this will save battery life (though the battery life is great).
Turning the NFC on (followed by a power-down/power up cycle) solved all the data connection problem.
I've verified several times that NFC disable is indeed the cause of my problem.
Hope this helps others on this thread.
Been having this problem for awhile now, but it's getting more frequent.
If I'm connected to a wifi network, be it home or work, and I then step away from it, my data connection will be stuck at 1X (ie no data), even if my signal is at max bars, and I'm in an area where I know I've had data before.
Sometimes toggling data or airplane mode will bring it back, but that fix is working less often now. Rebooting the phone seems to fix it, and I'll immediately get 4G LTE data. But this is happening every other day now, and I can't keep resetting the damn thing every time I get into the car in order to make sure that my email and messaging apps still work.
Is there some way within the settings to force the phone to reestablish data with the tower without resetting?
EDIT: Took it to Verizon, who gave me a new sim card. Will test for the next few days and see if that fixes it.
Update : the problem resurfaced. As usual, reseting fixed it, but this is getting obnoxious. I'll take it back to Verizon and see what they say.
i have this issue too, any updates?

Well, I received a new phone overnight via FedEx, and the new one hasn't lost its data connection yet.
So yes, I supposed it's "fixed"... But I wouldn't really consider having a new phone sent to me a "fix", since this option is probably not available to all users.
