So, I have had the G3 since day 1, D85110c (haven't taken the update due to TWRP), rooted. For the past I have been having an issue where my phone will be connected to 4g fine (in a very strong 4g area) and my phone will randomly lose data connection completely. It will show I still have bars (4 to 5) but I am unable to receive or send calls and text and obviously don't have data.
The only way to fix this is to either airplane mode on then off, which does not work most of the time, or completely reboot the phone. It started with only happening once every few days, but in the past 2 weeks it has been every 30 minutes I find my phone has no connection.
I tried using the mod to change to IPv4 but that did not work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

It started yesterday and I don't know why. Go to check my weather, hit update and after about 10 seconds I get a bubble telling me that an unknown connection error ocurred and to try again later. I can make phone calls, send and receive texts, but can't check my weather. If I soft reset it works fine. Today, go to check my weather again and same problem. Been making phone calls and texting all morning without issue. Soft reset and again it works fine. Obviously, something is going wrong with my data connection over time, but what could cause it to just shut down completely requiring a soft reset to fix?
More weirdness. I tried manually turning on my data connection in the Connection Manager and as quickly as I turn it on it turns itself off. WTF! I haven't done/added anything to the phone in a week. Is this something on AT$T's end, could they be blocking me from using data for some reason?
About 2 weeks ago I did some regedit to have the data connection turn off automatically after 5 mins of non-use. It was working fine after that and anytime it needed a data connection it would make it. I don't remember where the setting was to change it back, but I doubt this is the problem because this issue just started yesterday.
I'm on AT&T also, on the new leaked ROM, and I have exactly the same issue. It started about 2-3 weeks ago, and I noticed the connection drops overnight (during the day I have no problems), and it'll only come back after restart or reset. I think it's AT&T's network...

Maybe they work on improving their towers and network lol
T-Mobile does that also.
i get a Could not coonect bubble,and have to manualy enable my data conection.If you guys are Tethering our providers automaticly drop our priority level...Unlimited my ass,they tried to cap me at Edge speed and all i had to do was disable/enable the data conection to blast 3g...
I found the problem, but I still don't know what caused it. I'm leaning towards something done on AT$T's end. I have always had my phone configured to use the AT$T ISP in network properties. Apparently, it no longer likes this setting. Switched back to MediaNet and all is working just fine. Problem is that when I first got the phone I did speed tests using both settings and AT$T ISP was faster, so that's why I set it that way. I can't test it now because it won't stay connected with that setting. Can AT$T block users from a particular connection? I don't tether and the most data I've ever used was 280mb last month. Hardly a reason to block me.
I'm not thethering either, my usage is roughly 600 MB/mo and my network is already set to MediaNet. This problem started recently, didn't have it before.
Looks like it is something going on with AT$T. A number of my friends from different states have reported issues over the past 2 weeks with several having severe connection issues the past few days. These are people on varying devices including iPhones, Blackberrys and smartphones. I hope it is due to AT$T finally upgrading their network and not overload from all the new iPhone users and abusive tetherers.
I searched the forums but only saw similar issues with different phones, not the EVO.
I have a rooted evo (unrevoked non permanent) running 3.29 build. I have not updated with the latest 3.70 build due to fear of losing root. Starting yesterday I am having trouble getting a mobile network connection with 3g. When this happens if I go to wireless and network settings next to mobile network it says "turning on" and it kind of just hangs there. I can sometimes get a connection but usually it cuts back out within 30 seconds. I can however maintain a connection over wireless or 4g. I'm wondering if this is a hardware issue or if it might be related to not accepting the latest update. I have tried multiple battery pulls and reboots and this has not helped.I also tried removing the last few apps I had installed to see if they were possibly interfering somehow and that didn't help either. Does anyone have any ideas? I guess my last step would be to do a factory reset and then if that doesn't work I will have to unroot the phone and take it in for service. I really don't want to do that.

Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thank you.
Bump.
Having the same issue, started two days ago. Mobile network goes to "turning on", it finds 3G, it loses 3G, goes to "turning on", finds 3G, loses 3G...ad infinitum. It's absolutely KILLING my battery life. I made one phone call today and played 10 minutes of Angry Birds, and my battery was dead at 2:00 pm (from full charge this morning, unplugged at 8:00 am).
i am haveing the same problem now i had my phone flashed to metro and no net.. stuck in turning on mode.. did u find out how to solve the problem?
I'd like to know too
I am having the same problem, but I just change the password and that was it
My wife is having issues with her data connection on her phone-
The phone aspect of the Captivate Glide works fine, but there are times where she is trying to us data (to check emails..etc..) and phone states she does not have a data connection. Also, her 4g icon disappears from the screen. Only solution (which she completely hates) is restarting the phone. Have had several android phones, but this is a first for me-
Currently running OsiMood.0122.RUXKJ5 Android 2.3.5
different ROM, same issue
so i updated my wife's phone to thegreatergood's literom (version .6), and I'm still having issues with the phone sporadically losing it's data connection. my wife is still able to make phone calls, however, all texting and data remains off. I have to restart the phone in order to restore data/text...any ideas?

I have seen this as well once or twice in the past as well. I am also on the greater good's literom 6 and liteKernel v4. Rebooting does fix it. Not sure what is causing it as well. I think it happened when I had low reception then all of sudden no reception all together. Wonder if you have no reception for too long can trigger this? Rebooted and wen back to having low reception but at least some. My work has a lot of interference so I rarely get good reception at my desk, often I see the E sign for edge network and when I see that I know it is going to be Dog slow.
I have a stock GN, rooted, but still running stock ROM. Anyways, a couple weeks ago, I started noticing issues with the cell connection. The cell signal triangle would lose all bars and turn into just a blue outline of the triangle (i.e. not gray in the middle). Mobile data wouldn't work, and toggling airplane mode wouldn't bring it back. Rebooting the phone seemed to fix the problem, but it just happens again every couple days.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Have you tried searching on here for another radio?
Find one compatible for your particular device, download and extract to where adb is.
Then boot into fastboot mode (with unlocked bootloader) and type fastboot flash radio (name of radio file).img
fastboot reboot
Should improve reception hopefully.

I don't think it's a reception issue, as I usually have 3 - 5 bars at home when this happens (not that it's limited to happening at home). I'd rather not install a different radio, as it's using the stock radio and I don't want to add more complexity to the issue.
I'll try and get a screenshot of the status screen next time this happens.
Radio is updated. Even with the latest build of android, you may not have the latest radio.
Upgrading the radio should definitely help if you're willing to take a chance.
I had similar issue with both stock and custom ROM. Upgrading my radio has helped and I never get a disconnection problem.
Hope that helps

Update bootloader to the latest version as well. Use "GetRil" app to check that your RIL and radio firmware version match.

Mobile Network State Disconnected
OK...I’ve been having this problem for a few months now. I can make calls, text, access voice mail...I just can’t connect to the internet without being connected to a WIFI network. I can’t send email or receive email or use an app that requires internet access.
I’ve tried...
*rebooting
*switching WIFI on and off (it is set to automatically connect to a WIFI)
*removing and reinserting the battery
*drained the battery completely and then charged it completely
*going into airplane mode and back out
*updating profile and PRL
It is data enabled and set to connect to data services when roaming.
I have no SD card.
CDMA is set to automatic (there’s only 2 choices: Home only and Automatic)
Preferred network mode is LTE/CDMA. (Again, 2 choices: LTE/CDMA and CDMA) I’m at home now...turned off WIFI on phone and changed network mode to CDMA. Opened Chrome and it opened the page. I went back to LTE/CDMA and it opened the same page. I’ll have to try that when I'm running errands or something and not logged on to a WIFI.
I finally took it to a Sprint store here on Friday, May 9th. Spent about 10-15 minutes with the person. It was fixed and working when I left the store.
Guess what? It’s disconnected. Again.
I’ve had this phone for a little over a year. So far, I’ve replaced the charging cable (twice, not including the ones I broke) and battery. I can’t change phones until next year without shelling out a few hundred bucks--which I don’t have.
Any help and/or suggestions (even sympathy at this point) would be helpful. I’m extremely frustrated!
When I woke up today, I saw that my phone was on No Service and it wasn't just flipping between full bars and no service for a second like it too often does (including dropping calls a couple of times). I tried to fix it by turning Airplane Mode on and back off, but it did nothing. I went to try to manually choose a tower to connect to mostly to see if the T-mobile tower near me was working or not, and there instead of a tower name it said "Emergency Calls Only". It did let me pick from the list and a disappearing pop-up said it connected, but it never changed to signal and stayed on Emergency Calls Only. So, I restarted my phone. Once it was back on, I had signal, but strangely I also got a Gmail notification about an e-mail that had arrived an hour prior, so I guess even my WiFi wasn't working! Bluetooth did connect fine to my Apollo Neuro anti-anxiety device, but the app was messed up showing it at 100% strength on two different settings instead of the strength they were saved at (and were sent to the device at), which was weird. Everything was fixed after the phone restart.
Anyone else had this happen? The signal issues on this phone are really starting to annoy me! Flipping to no service for a second too often, not connecting manually to any other tower (my plan includes unlimited roaming for talk and data) [I'm not sure if auto roaming works since I haven't been where it would be needed], dropping a couple of calls, not sending texts at times, Chat texting dots turning off often (usually fixed by going into Airplane Mode and back), and now this! I love the phone, but they need to fix it whether it is Samsung or T-mobile!
i thought i was the only one. suddenly no service to any calls but data intact. only way to fix is by cycle flight mode.

That sucks. They really need to fix this basic function of this phone!
I've had that issue when getting in areas where coverage is spotty, but never been able to see it go into Roaming..........just "emergency calls only".

It seems that is the issue, that the phone won't roam. That is a mega problem.
My phone was just sitting on the wireless charger all night, and I get full bars (occasionally minus one) here at home, so .
