So I am completely stock unrooted and have never rooted this phone. I am on Lollipop. Ever since my phone loses connection to my WiFi randomly, and today at work I put a lock on and now I can't take it off. I have a screen shot of what it shows when I try to. Also, I noticed it never shows I have LTE even though I'm in an LTE area, is that just an HTC thing. Another thing I've noticed is where my G3 would get full on LTE this phones only showing 2G and it's definitely only on 2G.

Hey everyone!
I was wondering if anyone else is having the problem where if you toggled your 4g to turn it off, you would lose all data entirely? I currently running winner's kang-cm9 and when I try to turn off 4g through the toggle or through the settings, I only get gray signal bars. I'm assuming I should still have 3g after turning off 4g. Is this someone that everyone is experience or is it my phone?
I'm having a similar issue (stock ROM). I notice it every morning when I leave for work. I leave my place and wifi disconnects (lack of signal). Since I don't have LTE outside, it seems like it try's over and over to obtain LTE signal. LTE is spotty in my area, so it will go in and out. However, 3G sometimes fails to connect and I sit there without any signal. It's incredibly frustrating...
Last night I just flashed to Apex ROM/Kernel. This morning I waited for my car to warm up a little bit and by the time i plugged in my phone, it had a 3g connection. I will be continuing to look out for this, but I have been able to replicate the issue in my first paragraph over and over again... something is definitely wrong with the radio on our phone (CDMA).
Oh that happens to me a lot too because I get bad 4g in my area so a lot of times when its switching back and forth I lose data for a while.
The problem I'm having is that I would try to disable LTE/4g to save battery but would end up losing all data (Only calls and text work). On my friends thunderbolt he was able to disable 4g and retain his 3g data. As for me, I lose all data and I have to restart to regain data again when I try to disable 4g data

That's an interesting point. I was wondering how the other LTE VZ phones handled this situation... I think VZ/Google needs to address this in a fix ASAP.
I work in a largish company in Seattle area. We have ~5000 engineers working in the area and I posted the same question since my Verizon GNexus would completely lose all mobile data for hours at a time every 3-4 days. From what the results I got, they said that in our area they are all seeing those problems and they had different devices. I got responses from OG Droid, Droid Charge, GNexus, DroidX2, Thunderbolt.
I've been seriously considering returning my phone since this is clearly a verizon data network issue which is not limited to LTE as their press releases would have you believe.

Well see, i can get data if i toggle airplane mode or cdma to cdma/LTE. it takes me forcing the phone to start looking for 3g instead of LTE.
Very serious issue. Slow reconnects on a toggle that should be unobtrusive between 4g-3g. I suffer from the same issue.
What's worse. The reception in general is terrible. And dropping from 4g to 3g ..the phone either never reestablishes 4g or take.....a. VERY long time. Like, 10-15 minutes. Unbelievable
I'm trying desperately to get google to be aware of this and I'm PRAYYYIINNGG this is a software issue.
P.s this is my third nexus... so I believe this is everyone

Yep... I have two other friends with this issue as well. I just got off the phone with Verizon, and they acknowledged the data connectivity issues... they said an update is in the works and is tentatively sometime Jan/February.... for the record, i'm on 4.0.3 (axi0m rom); not that it should matter ...
What I'm seeing is similar but sounds like it might be slightly different. I have a thread on it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21352288
I'm not sure if what I'm describing there is "normal" and the thing they are working on an update to address or if I have a bad radio/phone. Any thoughts?
In my case, it will go: 4G->no_data->4G in the span of about 30 seconds or so. The 4G indicator will still show for a few seconds but I'll get "no connection" kind of messages. Then I get just a solid gray triangle. About 30 seconds later, I see the bars, then the 4G indicator, then the bars turn blue.
Anyone else seeing this? This happened to the phone before this which I swapped due to this problem. What are the chances I got 2 bad ones in a row? Or is it just a similar issue to what you all are describing?
I've had my Galaxy S3 on AT&T for about a week. I came from a Lumia 920. Sitting in an LTE area, I'll notice it's working fine. I'll move around a bit in the building, and it'll drop to 4G, but never ever return to LTE unless I switch airplane mode on and off. I was told this is normal when I receive a phone call as well. Is this true? This NEVER happened on my Lumia.

I am assuming that you are unrooted and on stock. As far as it dropping 4G it could be the building has poor LTE spots. This phone I have noted that the stock rom tends to drop LTE and not switch back. Not sure why. However during phone calls, the radio will always switch from LTE to standard 4G and revert back when the phone call is finished. This is because voice calls are not currently supported on LTE.

Not doubting you, but I called AT&T about this, and they told me it was normal for data to drop to 4G and stay there until I either power cycled the phone, or toggled airplane mode on and off. Then I would get LTE back. I tried this, and that's what happens to me. Yes, I was on stock unrooted, but now I am rooted. Any suggestions on a good rom that may be able to fix this issue?

my buddy has a verizon lg g3 that wont connect to a 4g signal at all. phone was dropped in a cooler for reasons im not going to get into both indicator stickers went red. after drying the phone out for a few days it seems to work fine. screen, apps everything except 4g. it boots directly to 3g. even under the setting menu when you check signal strength, 4g isnt even listed on the screen as an option. please help if possible before we do an insurance claim.

The phone uses the sim card to get 4g, perhaps the sim was permanently damaged or it needs to be reseated.
Is anyone having a problem with losing data signal even though it shows full bars of LTE with Spark icon spinning like it should? Usually after a long sleep period but sometimes sooner. Have to toggle Airplane Mode to get it going again. Have the gold LS990 and it's happening in several areas with different towers. Sprint issue or device specific? Really like the phone but this is intolerable.

Sprint has been terrible for about the last week here in Mass and their outage map changes everyday...

Im on Verizon myself but my girls Sprint HTC One Max has been terrible. She's called and complained they just say they're working on it....
My Verizon G3 has had LTE everywhere I go like usual [emoji11]
- Tapatalked from the G3 -
Noticing something unusual now with my S8+ locking onto 4G LTE.
If I am in a 4G LTE area (40-50 down speeds on avg), then move to a poor coverage area (Edge only), then move back to the same 4G LTE area...my phone does not switch back to 4G LTE.
I have to restart my phone in order to connect to 4G LTE.
Turning off then turning on data doesn't work either...although shouldn't have to do this anyway.
Any suggestions? BTW, haven't touched the default phone settings and I have cellular network preferred in the wifi call setting if that matters. Network mode is LTE/4G/3G/2G. My phone is not rooted.
Thanks.
I've experienced this same issue I've actually had my s8+ replaced under warranty 5 times now... t-mobile is now having me contact samsung to send in my phone because they believe its a phone issue...
wow, really...
that stinks...and you know, only started after one of the recent updates, whatever was before the Bixby update... maybe coincident, maybe not.
Same issues here. I've had while running the T-Mo firmware and the unlocked firmware. Mine was originally the US Unlocked version purchased straight from Samsung.com.
I have that same problem too... Just put it in airplane mode for a few seconds to fix it.

That doesn't work for me. It's hit or miss. Sometimes it bounces back to LTE just fine, other times not. Yesterday, it got stuck on H+. Only a reboot would fix it.
well what the heck - guess i will visit the TMo store to see what they say...
