Wifi to LTE handover issue? - T-Mobile LG G3

When I leave my wifi range, network doesn't switch over to LTE automatically. Toggling airplane mode doesn't seem to help. I need to reboot phone for lte to show up.
I googled around and found others with similar issue but no solutions. I'm wondering if there's a solution now since the issues posted on google seems to be around 1 year old.
I'm running CM12

I've been having this same issue on cm13.. What I have worked out. If you use GSM/ CDMA I don't have an issue connecting to data. It's when I use LTE is when it doesn't connect.

I had this same problem. It only happened in CM13 not CM12. I noticed a difference in the APN Protocol settings in CM12 and made the same change in CM13. I solved this by going to Settings > Cellular Networks > Access Point Names > T-Mobile US LTE and changed APN protocol from IPv4/IPv6 to only IPv4.

Orange APN connection suddely stopped working

well this is annoying...
I checked my APN settings:
Name: Orange Internet
APN: orangeinternetapndroid
MCC: 234
MNC: 33
APN Type: defaultapndroid
and apparently they wont connect any more, these are my stock settings, in the morning I was connecting via GPRS, 3G, 3G+
This afternoon, no luck.
Weirdly, having conducted a search of these forums if I ammend to:
Name: Orange Internet
APN: orangeinternet
MCC: 234
MNC: 33
APN Type: default
the 3G, 3G+ icon appears in my taskbar as if connected, but none of the sync's work, neither does the internet.
can anyone throw any light on this?
Edit:I've tried a clean boot with no APN type controls launched and still cant connect, so its not a sotware APN control playing up.
Try turning off 3G connectivity and connect on 2G. It's likely something wrong with your mast. Something similar happened to me about 2 months ago. I'm not working at the moment, otherwise I would've checked on our network status systems for you.
had something similar when accidentally put "enable always-on mobile..." in mobile network settings. couldn't get sync weather or internet access
switched this off and all came back
thanks for the posts, I checked the 'always on' setting definately off.
I cant seemt o find an option to switch to GPRS only, can you point me in the right direction?
Happened to me today too, just left it of for an hour or so and it worked again.
I've been having the same problems all day. After struggling to find a solution I've finally just managed to get my data connection back.
Try going to wireless and network setting => mobile networks => access point names, then go the your main setting, mine says orange internet. I entered a proxy setting of 192.168.71.35 and a port setting of 8080. Save that, press back 3 times, turn off mobile network then turn it back on and see if that helps!
It worked for me, although the connection doesn't seem as fast as before.
I would advise against changing any of the APN settings. You can change your phone to GSM-only through Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > GSM only.
Settings on phones don't change themselves on their own. So if it's a problem with your connectivity, it's probably a network issue or something else (maybe hardware) with the handset, although that's unlikely.
@danflan74, the proxy you've entered might not be for the GPRS version of Orange Internet. You might be routing yourself through the WAP bit, hence the slowness. I can't say for certain, but that's seems likely to me. If not, then an extra layer of routing isn't doing it any good, as the "standard" settings do not use a proxy.
Tbh guys, I think it's just orange being their usual ****ty selves.

This was the original cause of your problem. Obviously you'd installed APNdroid at some point.
Strictly speaking, you don't really need this on Sense ROMs as there is a widget and a "shutdown" menu item for switching off the mobile network.

I had same problem today. Working now though. There was a message on orange customer services about problems with gprs and that they are working g to fix it.
Just wish I called them before I did factory reset.

Also had this problem today frustrating, all fine now
Looks like a load of people had this if Twitter is to be believed. My 3G wouldn't connect at all at one point.
I phoned orange earlier as i had no connectivity.
They have had network problems today. All fine now, For me anyway.
I've had all sorts of problems with orange the last few days. No incoming or outgoing calls or txts. Seems to be sorted today though.

I've been having the same issues all day, thought it might have been a network issue in Edinburgh City centre, but had decided it was [another] hardware fault in my Desire (it's been replaced once already).
Also very glad I waited before doing anything drastic!
I had the same problem on saturday. No signal for hours. Orange explained there was going to be some network issues due too the merging of tmobile & orange networks.

Orange had a large outage today for all apn's, it's nothing to do with your phone.

Juicedefender got me to install this'un so that I could switch the APN connection off 0:00 to 07:00.
on the upside to all of this, it was Orange being a pair of hairy testies. I got home having reverted my settings to stock and the 3g connection was working.
I can confirm I've had 3g/HDSPU dead connection problems all day from late morning, I'm on t-mobile UK with a non rooted Desire, and tried switching flight mode on and off, Enable always-on mobile- off. Ive heard T-mobile and Orange were merging early July. I hope the teething problems explains it or im in trouble.
I read on other forums it could be the software version. But i'm sensing the general consensus here is the service provider?

Preferred Network Mode Not Sticking: Let's Solve This Once and For All

So I'm on a CyanogenMod 10 nightly, and I am having the problem of the Preferred Network Mode setting not sticking, like several other users apparently, and after searching the forum I have concluded that there is no actual solution yet. Right now I can get to 4G LTE by manually setting to LTE/GSM/WCDMA in the Preferred settings, but it always reverts back after reboot. Apparently this does not happen to everybody; how should I fix this?
I posted in the CM Nightlies thread but no one seemed to notice. I hope this can get to the devs so they can fix this eventually I guess.
The following may be of use
http://code.google.com/p/cm9-msm8960/issues/detail?id=39
According to that, this is a hard-coded problem caused by the settings in the two places not matching?
Try going to your dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#*
Use that dialog to set it to what you want and hopefully it will stick then?
I never encountered this problem myself because I never want my phone on LTE as the battery life is pitiful as is and LTE only makes it worse.
Mine is set to WCDMA only on quattrimus cm10 and it sticks no problem.

Had the same problem, except that it dropped data service every 10 mins or so. Didn't even had to reboot. I could fix that by changing the network settings from lte/wcdma to gsm/wcdma. Another thing I witnessed when on lte that it would recover data connection when the process was restarted e.g. when activating and deactivating airplane mode.
Unlike most people, I'm actually wanting to keep it on LTE only, since I just keep data off until I need it, and when I need it I want full speed.
The phone always reverts back to GSM/WCDMA, turning off LTE.
I messed around in *#*#4636#*#* but it didn't really do anything.
I've been having the same problem on my Razer Phone 2. I don't think this is specific to the phone itself, but. I'm getting desperate for a solution. I change the preferred network type in the *#*#4636#*#* menu, I get LTE fine..... As long as I don't restart the phone or go on/off with airplane mode. Then I have to do it all over again. Does anyone know how to make this stick?

Decrease in mobile data quality?

Hello I live in Miami Florida I just came from a note 2 and prior to that I had an s3.. Both phones while on the HSPA plus APN did very well with speeds. The s4 does pretty well with speeds but I do notice that the data will get stuck sometimes and you see the arrows working as if they are transferring data but in reality its stuck most of the time I have to turn on airplane mode and then turn it off to get my data working again. This happens on any ROM and I never had this problem before this phone. I know that they are working on towers but even on the HSPA plus APN I'm having issues which I never have many issues on this network with other phones. Even on the LTE APN I noticed that a lot of times when switching from LTE to 4G I get so call drops or I get the internet stuck and have to turn on airplane mode even togglingmobile data on and off doesn't help.. Has anyone else experienced this problem I'm wondering if we were going back to the first modem on the first firmware will maybe help? Or is it just them working on the towers? If anyone has a good solution to this please let me know

If you can live without LTE for now, go into Settings -> Connections -> More networks -> Mobile networks -> Network Mode -> select GSM/WCMDA (auto connect)
I've had issues around here where the modem REALLLLY wants to grab LTE, but can't, and gets kind of stuck. But, HSPA+ is also pretty solid around here.

T Mobile IPv6 APN Outage?

Suddenly my mobile data doesn't work on T Mobile's IPv6 APN. Works fine on IPv4.
I get the same results on all ROMs I've tried. I flashed a couple 4.3 and 4.4 ROMS and got the same results with a clean install and no added apps or settings.
My wife's phone connects with ipv6 just fine on the same network.
This is on the MDL baseband using any rom, aosp or tw.
The only thing I haven't tried is restoring to stock with Odin, but I really don't want to do that just to test to see if it's a network issue. I can't imagine is a hardware ware problem since the cell network is fine and data works fine on the IPv4 APN. If it was hardward, those shouldn't work.

I'm still getting the 'automatic' APN change on my phone, on CM11 and Carbon 4.4 - but I did notice that every once in a while I'll stop receiving data, and have to switch APNs. Once I do, and put it back to the IPv6, it starts working.
What I see could definitely be a ROM issue, though. Could also be a location-based issue? (I'm around the DC area, and get fantastic speeds on LTE, and horrible speeds on Edge.)

I could deffinately be location based. But I'm not leaving this general area anytime soon so I can't test that theory.
It's not a speed issue for me. The data works, just only on the IPv4 APN. It will not work on the IPv6 APN aat all.
I checked the APN settings. They are good. I even just switched the IPv4 to 6 in the working APN and that kills it, but comes right back when I switch it back to 4.
This came out of nowhere.
I'd been using the IPv6 APN for months.
And it's not ROM based. A fresh install of any other ROM has the same results.
Weirdness.
Just curious, why are you so set on using IPv6? The only upside to it is having a unique IP address once IPv4 addresses are exhausted - which they aren't just yet. If it avoids the issue, why not stick with IPv4?

Because that's not the only advantage.
I like to keep my mobile data turned off until I need it. This prevents a few different issues for me.
However, MMS messages require a data connection. The ROM is capable of turning data on to send and receive an MMS message automatically, but on certain ROMs it doesn't work properly on the IPv4 APN. It needs the IPv6 APN to work. On IPv4 it will turn data on but it won't connect properly and the message will hang indefinitely in an in downloaded state.
IPv4 works fine for MMS if the data is already turned on when the message comes in. But it doesn't work on auto data. I have no idea why. I don't really care why. I just know I need the IPv6 mobile network to be able to keep my data turned off and still get MMS messages.

[Bug] Lost network after toggling 'mobile networks' in Quick Settings

TL;DR Toggled networks, lost connection. Mobile Networks options changed. Toggled again and things reverted back.
NEXUS 5 - 4.4.4 PA-HAMMERHEAD 4.5-BETA2
Toggled between mobile networks using the quick settings and suddenly my handset lost connection to the towers.
I updated via OTA to PA-HAMMERHEAD 4.6-BETA1 and then thought possibly it was an issue with the modem.
Then downgraded modem to M8974A-2.0.50.1.13.
No connections still.. then noticed on drive home from work - 1 small bar of LTE (typically I have full LTE in this area and full voice).
This morning, same situation, and I contacted T-Mobile and they attempt to reconnect my device to the network.
What was interesting was that the settings options for Mobile Networks changed. Initially when the tech asked me to navigate to Settings > More > Mobile Networks the options displayed were LTE, 3G, 1X, GLOBAL and he sounded very confused. The settings would not allow me to toggle from LTE - except for one moment where a 3G network connection went through and my radio came back to life. Then was instructed to toggle back to LTE and it went dead again. At this point the options changed to LTE, 3G, 2G and once I toggled from 2G to LTE, things appear to be back to normal.
I've read that there have been some issues with the Nexus 5 in relation to this toggle and just wanted to share.
Same issue here, i tested every modem and few kernels so it's ROM related.
