I Just took my phone back to stock, locked bootloader state and that still did not work.
No amount off turning data on/off works and neither does switching from CDMA/LTE to CDMA.
Is there a number like *228 that i can call to try reactivating it?
Is there anything I can do short of taking it back?
and my wifes incredible 2 can connect to the 3G.
Have you taken the SIM out and booted the phone up without it and then powered it back down and then put the SIM back and powered it backup to see if that does it?

nope, but i will.
EDIT: Nothing.
powered down, simcard out, power on, powered off, simcard in, powered on.
Simcard out I was actually NOT on any network at 0dbm. Simcard in it says i am on a network, with signal of 120dbm...
booo
I sure hope these **** third party retailers have one still.
It takes a minute to connect sometimes...give it time ..toggle wifi helps.

i have been battling it all day.
Not once has it connected to 3G.
Am I really the only person with this problem?
crap.
You aren't the only one...I had to return mine. I hope they get their head out of their anatomy & fix their radio/signal strength issue. When they get it fixed I will get another one, but I didn't want to risk my return window ending before they get it straight.

tomorrow is my 14th day, it will be returned tomorrow
This just started happening to me on my 20th day of having the phone...after over 2 hours sitting in the Verizon store yesterday they told me that a maintenance release was expected to be pushed out the end of January that "SHOULD" address this exact issue. Other than that they told me I was SOL.
So I am now carrying around a brick that is less than 30 days old. I am starting to wish I didn't trade in the Rezound I was borrowing until the nexus came out.
This happened to me 2 days ago. It is still not fixed.
I can connect to V's 4G, but when I toggle to CDMA, I get gray bars-no data connection.
I don't know if my 3G antennae got fried or what, but is there a way to reset it?
My Galaxy Nexus is rooted/unlocked but no ROMs.
I don't remember messing around with the radio.
I have tried rebooting, wifi-toggle, airplane mode toggle.
I have not tried flashing 4.0.2.
I have not tried removing the SIM card then turning it on.
I have not tried doing a factory reset.
Any suggestions?
I had this exact problem two days ago as well. I went to the Verizon store and the only thing they tried that worked was giving me a new SIM card. Try a new card. Why mine stopped working for 3G data I do not know.

I don't think it'll connect to any network if the sim card is out of the phone, its possible you have a bad sim card.

I do not have anything real helpful, but I can tell you that flashing 4.0.2, doing a factory reset, relocking the phone, or swapping out the SIM card does not help this situation.
Just out of curiosity...What method did you use to unlock your phone? I am just wondering if its a certain method of unlocking that is causing this issue. I am unaware of anyone having this problem that has not unlocked their phone.
I've got a GSM not CDMA version but I got 2 phones from different places. The first lasted 3 days before it stopped connecting to my network. It went back under warranty and was acknowledged there was a problem - awaiting return, it's being repaired now.
My second one had lasted around 3 weeks and is now doing the same thing. I'll be taking this one back as well.
My sim works perfectly fine in all my other phones (HTC's and iPhone's) so that can't be the problem.
First phone was unlocked and custom ROM loaded. Second one is as per factory, hasn't been touched so IMO it can't be related to any "customization".
IMO Samsung/Google should have waited another month and sorted these issues out before releasing the phone. I won't be buying another Samsung phone after this one
It just started happening to me a couple days ago. It was working fine. When I'm on wifi for a extended period and switch to 3G it won't connect. But I can connect to 4G. If I reboot the phone it will connect to 3G.

Now you've got me worried. I am hoping that VZW was going to issue a fix & then I would buy another Gnex. If it is gonna commit suicide 3 weeks later...
connection issues
I have had similar issue.
Powering phone off did not help. For whatever reason, pulling the battery reset my data connection.
Its happened twice as of today.

The same thing is happening to me. If im on wifi for a long time and try to go to 3g, i just get the 3g signal with gray bars and no data connection. The only way i can get it to work is by rebooting my phone. Im running bugless beast, which is a stock rom, but i dont think it has anything to do with it.
this just happened to me today. yesterday 3g was fine now nothing. and with lte constantly dropping this is just a glorified "stupid" phone. i contacted samsung support and they said i need to contact carrier. i reverted to stock and flashed stock recovery and locked phone and still no luck. rebooting and removing sim does nothing. we got screwed with an inferior product
I was experiencing these problems all day yesterday. No 3g, only 4g. Reverted to stock and tried everything listed in this thread with no success of gaining a 3g connection.
However, i looked at my phone this morning and i have 3g connectivity again. I'm going to assume there was some maintenance going on because it hasnt dropped since being awake
Woke up this morning and told my love, "Good morning! I'd like to send a text".
Guess what? She just went full retard and could not hold a signal.
Throughout the whole day, I tried restarting, pulling out and putting back in the T-Mobile sim card, but it doesn't hold even 1 bar longer than 3 seconds.
The problem is within the phone. Why? I tried different sim cards in, it doesnt change the result, it still doesn't want to acknowledge any mobile network. My sim card works in other phones though.
I also reset/restored the phone twice. After the first time it worked fine for a 30 min, then went dumb. Second restore, nothing....
So I ask, is there a solution to my phone's inability to connect to a mobile network? Or should I get a repair from Samsung's warranty?
- Thanks

Thanks. How would I found out if the msid is culprit or not? Also the service state keeps switching from "out of service" or "radio off".
spare yourself, get it replaced, maybe bad radio.

Just wondering if anyone with a GSM Galaxy Nexus ever had a their ESN get corrupted before. I had this phone for about a year, and decided to give it to a friend of mine for his birthday after from upgrading to the Nexus 4, and it was working fine for two weeks then a few days ago it just stopped working. It had this weird phantom airplane mode and all the settings was somehow wiped. This was on 100 percent stock. Only thing different was I had it on Straight Talk with the at&nt sim card and he ordered the tmobile versino because ST doesn't sell the att ones anymore. It worked fine till that problem happened. That was the first issue I had ever with that phone. I tried everything from wiping the cache partitions, and restoring the stock firmware and no change. Still had that airplane mode issue. So, I called customer support and thankfully I still had a month left of the warrenty thank god, so I talked to the tech support and what they told me to try didn't do anything. so, they told me to send it in. I guess the Original Problem: was the ANDROID - DATA SETTINGS CONFIGURATION - BASIC CONFIGURATION ISSUE, and they found:ESN CORRUPTED - WILL NOT CHARGE. This is from the email letter I got back with the tracking. Just wondering if anybody has had this issue before with a GSM version and what causes it. Im interested to find out. I tried looking and searching and found nothing for the GSM ESN, My friend is getting his replacement in today on his birthday, 6/6/13. Sorry for the long post. Just curious on what causes this issue. Thanks!
I don't think GSM devices have an ESN, that's only CDMA?

seems like its the same as IMEI being reset ?
My Nexus S did the same thing. Samsung refused to fix it under warranty. I was one of a few who had that problem in the NS community and there was never a solution found. If you do figure it out let me know. I flashed a rom one time that fixed it. I did a back up and when it rebooted it was gone and occasionally the IMEI would reappear.

Hi, I purchased a 2013 lte nexus 7 about 3 weeks ago. When I first got it everything was fine. Then It started having wifi problems. It would connect but I wouldnt get any throughput. I have two different routers and had the same issue with both. I have a 2012 nexus 7 and a phone and they both connect fine with no issues. I have reset the phone four time. Each time things will be fine for a day or two but I get the same problem eventually. I exchanged it yesterday at best buy. While I was there the girl at the counter connected to a router in the store. She said she didnt do anything special. But I went ahead and got a new one. It wont even go through set up. It sees both my routers and connects but when it tries to go to the next screen it says web page not available. I have an tmobile sim card and I really dont want to return it but I dont know what else to do. I have searched and cant find the answer. Before I returned the first one I tried everything suggested and nothing worked. Thanks for your time.
This is my second LG G4. The first device had an issue where it would not boot up completely and when it did it was not reading the LTE sim card. My wireless carrier swapped it out. This device was working fine the first day I got it but I noticed that downloads were slow, like updates through Google Play. After investigating I found that even though the device was connected to WIFI, it was downloading stuff over the mobile network. Then, I started having problems. If I restarted the device, the Wifi button that you use to turn on or off wifi would become stuck and continually blink as it was being clicked but wifi never would come on.
I have tried resets to factory state. In some instances, this would fix the issue, but only temporarily. The issue would soon begin to happen again. There was even one reset where the device going through the setup process could not turn on wifi.
I think this may be a hardware issue but dread going up to the carrier store. I am past my 14 day period. They had to order me a new phone from the warehouse because they did not have any reconditioned devices but I don't really understand how it is okay for them to give out reconditioned devices for something that should be covered under the manufacturers warranty. I also don't understand why they cannot swap it out with the stores stock. When they ordered the last one, they told me 3-5 business days. This was on a Monday. Apparently something happened and the device never got ordered so Thursday when I called to check on the status of the device, I was told they had to do the order again. I was without a device on their service for eight days which in my opinion is also ridiculous.
I just really dread going up there and dropping my phone off for one of them to say we did a hard reset to fix it, and then I bring it right back home and it happens again and I have to go back up there. Something tells me LG didn't do a lot of QC when they were manufacturing these devices.
I wanted to know if anyone else had the wifi issue I have described above?
Just started happening to me today..wifi icon in status bar blinks like a stop light on crack and it won't turn on or connect to any wifi. gonna go to a sprint store to try to exchange it I'll let you know what happens

I hope you have no issues exchanging it. I got the same guy that supposedly originally ordered the replacement device the first time. Normally they make you come back an hour later but he rushed right out and said, "Your device is defective." and gave me the same spiel about how it is two new and they don't have any reconditioned devices so a new one would arrive from the warehouse in 3-5 business days.
The only reason I am still using Sprint is because they can get signals in places like hospital emergency rooms that the other providers can't because of the 800mhz. I seem to recall, but maybe my imagination is inventing something, that when I had issues with devices on "T" and Verizon that they swapped the devices out of existing store inventory, but I could be wrong.
At first I thought the issue was software related. Also, This will be the third time I have to buy a glass screen protector. The first one I got from Amazon. They never offered to replace it, although they should replace it. The second one, I got when they replaced my device. Today the dude tells me he can transfer my glass. Never heard of that happening without issues.
So sprint will exchange it cause I've only had the phone for5 days but i have to go to a different store to exchange it cause my store doesn't have any left with black leather..so back to the g2 running cloudy3.3 till i can go to a different store
