Just got my Razr yesterday. YAAAY!!
I'm coming from a Droid Charge and am excited about the big step forward with the Razr. One problem I'm having, thought, is that i'm losing my data connection quite often. I was under the impression that this phone would be better at holding a signal than my Charge was, but so far its quite a bit worse.
I'm noticing that when the connection is good, the 4G icon turns blue. Then I will see it turn white, then disappear altogether. Usually a reboot fixes it for a while. Anybody else seeing this behavior?
Thanks,
Blue
Dropping data as well

No 4g in my area so I cannot verify that part but in the 28 hours I have owned my Razr it has dropped data 5 times. Toggling airplane mode seems to correct this issue but, coming from a DX that only dropped data a handful of time in a year and a half, this is a little disheartening.
That happened to me a lot a month ago... would drop data like no tomorrow ... Arctic rom fixed most of the problems...
I still have random drops where I should get data (s2 catches it fine)...
But I'm assuming until they release an updated radio... wont see any fixes
I haven't had dropped data since I've had my phone its been almost a month. I'm only on 3g.

I get the same problem. Especially when I tether (Legally). Its to the point Im trying to get rid of the Razr. Solid built phone but from the locked bootloader to the data issues I think it might be time for me to move on.
I have yet to have this problem in my area (only 3g) but in the city about an hour away I did drop data while using 4G. While at home I also keep it in 3g only.

I have had very similar issues. I am in a decent 4g area and have had my razor for a week now and am thinking about returning it. Its happened on both 3g and 4g. I had a rezound prior to this and never had issues like this with data dropping. I returned the rezound due to overheating and random boot looping. Not sure what to get. May look into Droid 4 but wondering about Moto. Now.

As a person working in the telecom industry with LTE, the data drops that you mentioned happens only if the device is idle for a certain period (10 seconds) and there are more users in that cell than what it can handle..
One Cell right now can handle max 200 Connected users..if your operator is using older versions then it can be 20 even.....
The typical timeout value is set as 10 seconds..that is if the mobile unit does not do any activity , then the connection will be dropped off....
You need to remember that 4G or LTE is not like 3G which enables you to stay connected always..it is only meant for data applications and it is strictly on-demand....at least now, till Voice Over Generic LTE Access (VOLGA) is rolled out.....
Some device manufacturers mimic the presence of 4G, but displaying the LTE/4G symbol, even if it is not connected to the network. It shows the presence of the radio only......
---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------
Actually while analyzing one major issue during a football match in US, we found out that there is too many connected users and very less amount of data....
This is not a very good implementation by Mobile Phone companies and they need to change the algo... Moto I hope has done a better job...
I got brave and jumped into the future...
4G is rocking and rolling now, and no data-drop outs all day. OTA should be coming soon.
Same for me yesterday. I am likeing At&T/s2 better and better with just about every thing. I am past my 14days, but as soon as someing comes out with unlimited LTE and Is better or as good as my s2 I will get rid of this nightmare of a phone and maybe even the big red.
P.S I know the big red has a lot of fan's like apple does, but it is what it is.
Try updating to 2.3.6, here, this has helped a lot with the updated software and radio it included. I have also experienced very good battery life.
This is a leaked update but does offer needed improvements. However, unlike the Bionic the razr able to fastboot back to factory stock and then accept OTA upgrades. So when something official, or ICS comes out no need to worry with the bootloader being locked.
Just started dropping data I think I might try the leaked update.

Not a data loss issue but:
I haven't had a problem with my razr since the update, but after my wifes update, her razr will turn off wifi now and then if the phone sleeps too long. Sometimes within 10 minutes. It happens more times than not.
On .748 my Razr was always locked on strong with 4G on.
W/ .173 I've been having nothing but complete data drops even though it still shows 4G and I'm in 3G in places where I had a strong 4G on 748
Does data drop mean losing 4G and then wait for a minute and then comes back. That's what I've been getting lately. It doesn't even switch to 3G. I never had that problem with my TB sigh

Yeah I too experienced data drops. But once I switch between 2g and 3g networks there are no drops for sometime.
Sent from my RazR using XDA premium
I've started having several after update. Hopefully Verizon will drop an update soon. Surely with this many of us having this issue, has to be a known issue.
While I haven't had any data drops since the update, I have noticed I have a much weaker signal. I was under the impression this update was supposed to reverse that.
For me it fixed the day by day data droping. You may need to reset the phone.
P.S I hope it gets fixed soon and I know all to well how much of a pain it is.
I just got off the phone with vzw about my RAZR dropping data randomly. If your having this problem just download the restore connectivity app. And the tech support guy said that ics is supposed to be released in a couple of weeks but I have my salt ready.

didnt want to start a new thread, but my phone after the latest update keeps dropping data and im fed up with it. this is the third razr ive had. one for hardware, one for a couple areas of dead pixels or groups of pixels, now my phone wont stay connected to data, just randomly dropping data and then picking it back up. ive had to call customer support three times for it, this time i had to boot it into safe mode, and now get to play the waiting game. ive heard people on here rave about the motorola antennas, but ive yet to be impressed. As far as i can tell thisphone is a complete peace of crap. And verizon support hasnt done anything to fix it. I used to rave about verizons technical support, now it feels like they dont care. After my contract is up bye bye verizon. Bye bye motorola. I would cancel right now and just use my vita with skype as a phone, but i got apps i would miss. Ive had palm pres that have had way better hardware design and build quality then this piece of ****.
I've had four LTE phones now and the data issues existed on all of them but have gotten less noticeable with each passing month (the Droid Charge was a nightmare until the day I got rid of it, though). People treating it as a phone issue cost warranty support money and wastes time- what you need is a network technician, not a refurbished phone.

At this point i need a new phone. Ive installed the useless restore connectivity app, tried removing and reinstalling my sim card, and now im running it in safe mode, all verizon ideas from customer support, and except for safe mode cuz ive not had the time, have failed. Im running bone stock non root and cant get anywhere with technicians. As ive said, my phone drops data and then a minute later picks it back up. The latest customer support person thought itmight be a roamong issue, evn though it happens when im not moving, as far as i can tell.
First, what's your signal strength? Anything under ~-95dBm isn't enough to maintain a reliable LTE connection. It'll connect but it will occasionally lose it. This tends to waste battery, as well. When they started rolling out LTE I was on the fringe of the coverage area, but they've updated a few of their towers since then. I will still lose data when driving through certain parts of town, but it reconnects quickly.
As far as the roaming issues go, that's a simple one to rule out. Call back and ask what your PRL should be. If it doesn't match the one in your About screen in Settings, turn the phone off, pull the SIM, power on, and shut down and put it back in- it should update. Doesn't make much of a difference in most circumstances, and the phone is supposed to update it automatically on every boot, but it's worth a try.
If you really just want a replacement phone without any more tech support BS, tell them the phone is overheating and rebooting. They'll tell you to take it into the store, where they will check for water damage and then order you a new phone without any further questions. You could also request to be transferred to Tier 2-- they're the ones that know what they're talking about (generally).
Also, if you have the same issue with 3 different phones, it's policy to offer you a switch to a different model (or an early upgrade, depending on what your contract dates look like) under most circumstances. I will tell you that whatever issues you've been having, if you want a 4G phone, there is no better current combination than Motorola and Verizon. I've seen the alternatives and they're not pretty.
its at 85 in my living room with three bars of data. If it was low coverage it should; especially after the last update; be almost no bars at all and just dropdown to 3g service instead of dropping all data.

I have seldom found that to be true, strangely. Mine will try re-authenticating on 4G two or three times before deciding 3G is better- then it will still toggle back and forth, and every time it switches from 4G to 3G it loses connection for a few seconds. It's an issue with the network architecture more than anything else- eHRPD is a stopgap solution and hopefully will be phased out soon, as LTE becomes universal and LTE-Advanced enters the picture.
oh ok.
You guys are all lucky, I don't even have 4g where I live.

I can honestly say if they hadn't enticed me with faster datas I would still be using a Droid Incredible. The RAZR is fine-- the 3 other phones I had to go through to get one that worked (and realize it was probably the network all along) weren't worth the pain, though.

same here. If i could activate a pallm pre 3 on verizon id be using that right now. But asit stands, the data speeds are nice, but arent worth it compared to constantly loosing data or all the network troubles verizons had activating there network. Though those are probably from there blazingly fast rollout rather then hardware on there end.

my second had two dead pixels this one has one but during normal opperation isnt noticable. though im ready to try and trade this for a galaxy nexus or cancel my contrqct and buy one straight from google. the main reason i bought this phone over the gnex was the sd card and thinking that it would be upgraded to ics rather quickly. fhe screen resolution and size are non issues for me. at this point there really isnt a lot to distinguish the screens unless you are a real power user, most wouldnt know that the razr has a lower pixel count and density.
tl;dr - TB is losing connectivity, almost no 4G, do I flash new radio? Which one? (post sounds less ignorant)
Out of nowhere I started to experience some really crippling internet & data issues. To be fair, I'm running CM7.1.1 which says that it has some known data issues, but I think these are a bit much.
I started to lose 4G connectivity completely - the symbol will show up on the screen, but just won't connect to anything. If I change the network mode to CDMA / EvDo it usually will pick up 3G at OK speeds, and will usually have 2-3 bars for regular cell coverage. 3G will work in and out, in for the most part. 4G I have managed to get up for about an hour, and now I can't get it at all.
Previously, I had a few disconnect issues but I'd reboot and everything would fix up quickly. I've done about 15-20 reboots in the past three days to no avail.
I figured that it might have something to do with radios... I spent a solid half hour or so researching flashing RUU's (how to, problems, etc.) and there is a LOT of conflicting information. Would flashing a new RUU help my issue? I think that it might... I'm currently on baseband 1.39.00.0627r (From the 1.70.605.0 RUU), and the latest is MUCH more recent.
I'd love some help / advice with if I should flash a new radio, which one, and if there is anything beyond the regular flashing / warnings that I need to worry about. Also, should I flash both LTE & CDMA separately? The names of the zip files are the same...one at a time? probably a noob question?
Hope this wasn't a repost of something, but I did a search first and couldn't see anything quite the same as this. Googled as well.
Cheers
Try ThunderShed it is much more up to date than the version you're running.

Thanks! If I flash a new radio is it going to wipe the device anyway? I wouldn't mind keeping my current setup, but if it's going to wipe there's no reason NOT to just upgrade to ThunderShed.
No. Try the radio that came with the newest ota. That's the one I'm using and it is working well.

Those didn't help much at all... I'm just going to flash ThunderShed and I'll bet anything I'm going to have better luck with that!
Exact samething started to happen with me except I'm running liquid gingerbread 3.2. Out of nowhere. My wife's thunderbolt gets great 4g connection but mine only 3g. I flashed latest radio but no dice. Wonder what's going on. I'm about to reset.

I've had the same problem twice before.
First off, I normally use only around 4GB of data a month, except during months that I have to travel. I never, ever tether (too risky).
In December 2011, I went to go visit some family over the Christmas/New Year's break. They rarely use the internet, so they opted for a cheap dialup home connection. Luckily for me though, the area was covered by LTE. In order to keep myself occupied, I streamed some Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, and other videos to my phone. After around 20GB of usage, 4G and 3G just died. Despite me changing around from CDMA Only to CDMA Only (PRL) to LTE, I was only able to pick up 1x. Flashing new radios didn't fix it, flashing new ROMs didn't fix it, leaving the battery out overnight didn't fix it, travelling an hour away to another family member's house (different tower) didn't fix it, getting a new SIM card didn't fix it, getting escalated to Tier 3 support didn't fix it, completely formatting the phone and installing official RUUs didn't fix it. I spent about a week trying to diagnose the problem, and was about to just use my insurance to get a replacement. Put my phone in the charger one night, went to bed, woke up, and 4G and 3G were back, about exactly 7 days after it first went down. Very odd, but I just chalked it up to a system glitch.
However, the same thing happened again in May 2012. Again, I visited my family and watched videos streamed to my phone to keep me occupied. About 10GB into the month, I had to leave for a trip to the other side of the country. While there, I had some downtime a couple of evenings to watch some movies. At 15GB, a similar thing happened. I was unable to connect to 4G, but 3G (albeit terrible connection) and 1x (faster and more reliable than 3G actually) worked fine. I thought that maybe the tower I was connected to was just experimenting with 4G before officially flipping the switch. However, no matter where I went, I was still restricted to 3G and 1x. After a 2000 mile flight back home, I was still restricted to terrible 3G and 1x. Again, after about a week, the problem went away and I was able to get on 4G again.
So, either my phone gets finicky when I have a lot of data usage, or Verizon likes to temp. ban 4G users who use lots of data in a short period of time.
You, my friend, were being throttled. That is exactly what happens when you get throttled.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
My data usage was less if anything. You sound like you were getting throttled, I wasn't... mine are just obnoxious connectivity issues.
I flashed (and am still working on) Thundershed now, it's a beautiful ROM - I'd recommend to anyone running CM7.1.1 on TB to just switch over... it's the same thing (base CM9) and you get ICS as well which seems to have increased the performance anyway.
There were other annoying bugs with the TB build of CM7.1.1 such as the inability to have headphones in the phone while talking (people just couldn't hear you) and some weird proximity sensor issues on phone calls.
Hopefully this new ROM is going to take care of the issues that previously annoyed me... the TB is a great phone and I'm glad I'm going to be able to get the most out of it now.
Thanks for the tip off to that ROM, disconecktie!
Yea its a fantastic rom. I ran sheds stuff on the Eris for around 2 years and if it wasn't for him that device would have died quick.

And now you're running this on your TB? Yeah, seems like the dev community over there really has a lot of respect... he's active and does bug fixes too, really great stuff. Cheers
He's a great dev but you wont see him on xda. People over here pissed him off. I didn't like 1.5 much but the fixes he brought to 1.6 made this rom awesome again.

As far as ur radio issue I was having the exact same problem yesterday and I live in the southern California area. My girl was perfect 3g on her dinc, I couldn't get any data at all and when I did, only 3g. Killed my battery quick too cuz it kept having to reconnect. Quite annoying, seems to b better today tho. Could of been just an off day. It was weird too cuz i finally shelled out for a rezound battery and that was my first day experience. Lol I thought it was the battery till today when its been solid all day. Running gsb 3.3b btw with imos kernel.

similar problem
Hello all. First post. I'm a noob. Watched the video.
I see this post is 3 months old.
I'm having similar issues at home in Tyler, TX (we have 4G). One day my Verizon thunderbolt signal drops to 1X or nothing at all as far as data. This happens for several days. Verizon creates a ticket and calls me 2 days later to tell me it's not them. I travel to northern Kentucky (cincinnati area) to visit my son. Issue follows me to Kentucky. I root phone but am still using stock rom b/c I don't have a clue what I'm doing!
I travel to Dallas and my phone is healed. Blazingly fast. I can't keep up with it - it's so awesome. I decide I like this piece of crap after 1 year of hating it.
I travel home to Tyler today. I'm back to 1X or nothing at all.
Questions: So do I flash a rom with a different radio??? Is that how I can get a better signal? Scared straight b/c I have an E-key app that I use to get me into homes (home inspector) and I can't afford to have that app not work.
Thanks in advance

Verizon probably have a weak signal in your work place.
This happens. Also, LTE is known to stop allowing traffic (at random) and require a turning off/on of Mobile Data (especially when using constant data for long periods of time).
It's annoying.
Different places - happens more than others.
I have also been experiencing issue with Verizon data connections as of late. I have a hard time even locking onto 3G with my Rez. But my other phones no issues, I am now on my 4th Rezound in over a month since having this issue.

Compared to my unfortunate experience with 4G devices, any of my other 3G phones hold onto and got better locks on 3G than compared to the past Rezounds. Now the latest rezound finally does get a data lock the prior 4 did not.
I've got no 4g issues. Almost never drops. I'm in southern California.
Sent from my rezound
This issue has been addressed a lot in many forums for the rezound, tbolt, gnex, and pretty much every 4g phone out. For some phones its not that bad. I think its software based cause once I rooted and s-off I've never had it happen to me again. The gnex I think they narrowed down to combination of software and hardware issues. I've been running ice roms since I rooted. I've been through 3 replacements, all did it, all had new Sims all new phones (not refurbished).
Here's a post I followed when it was happening to me. I've done lots of research on this and I truley do think its software based (mostly because Verizon won't admit its their network)

It's a network. If you have -65 -75 dbm on 1xrtt that doesn't mean you have the same signal strength on lte. LTE signal is different from 1xrtt or evdo. The reason that you lose date quite often is because the LTE signal is very poor in your location especially if you are indoor. to improve LTE signal wilson electronics has very good amplifier, that calls sleek 4g-v get it. It may improve the signal by 20 dbm.
There is a few threads on this and no resolutions. There is some kinda of problem with the network that Verizon isn't owning up to. There is a bunch of forums posting the problem as well, where the 4g just drops off and then comes back on. Prior to the begining of June if my 4g dropped out it would go to 3g. Now the places I had solid 4g I am getting it on and off every minute or so. I went down to verizon and the girl said she is having problems with her Tbolt. We changed out the sim and she said she could get me a new phone but to me it sounds like the network if so many people across all phones are having problems. I am going to call Verizon probably this weekend or monday cause I am tired of being on 3g all the time and not being able to use the 4g is driving me nuts. Things are so slow. Arg.

I powercycle, turn mobile data off and on, and sometimes it works, but most of the time Im stuck to using Wi-Fi...
So why should i pay verizon all this money for Wifi?
Ugh.. Im gonna return this pos.

From all the responses, Galaxy S3 is the best signal people are getting to date. Better than the one xxx and the Motorola Razor Maxx. And HTC and Motorola have been known to have the best reception. Go figure.
I won't have my GS3 until July 9th so I can't say first hand.

great I just pre order GS3, r u sure its data signal not gps? cause I found a couple of review that says GS3 has better gps than one X thats all I could find.
Just something I've noticed and if anyone has some insight I'd appreciate it. I have the evo 3d on sprint, my fiancé has the droid bionic on Verizon. Sprint just works, but on the bionic, and lg revolution before that, wouldn't get data connection or calling/texting if the bars and data indicators in the notification bar were lit up blue. If they're white, she gets nothing. Why? It's like there's service available but the phone won't connect to it at times. This happened to the revolution too so I'm under the impression its Verizon of the way they do things.
And to clarify, the number of bars will still fluctuate like ours, not that some are blue and some are white. Same goes for the data connection, it'll list 3g, 4g, or not be present depending on what's available. But no matter what's showing, if it's white, you might as well be in airplane mode.
I asked in the bionic forum too but no one shared any info yet.

I'm assuming you won't get many responses here, since this isn't a Verizon forum. But I have experience with the Bionic actually. Two of my friends have the Bionic, and have the same issues you do. I recently took an 8 hour trip with two friends that have the Bionic, and one friend with another phone on Verizon (a new samsung I think). I of course, being a Sprint customer, literally had no data/cell coverage about 80% of the trip. The one with the brand new Verizon phone had 4g about 75% of the time, and 3g the other 25%. She was streaming pandora and had Navigation going the whole time, without a SINGLE hiccup or buffering in the music. The two with the Bionic always had cell coverage, but their 4g was VERY spotty, and only worked about 40% of the time.
Also at my house, the person with the samsung always has 4g and never had a problem with data connectivity. The two with the Bionics very frequently experience 4g dropouts, and the handoffs between 4g and 3g normally cause streaming audio/video to cut out.
So based on my experience, the Bionic is just a bad phone all together.
Thanks. I did get a response this morning in the other forum. They're saying it's having trouble connecting to Google services. But that doesn't make sense why nothing works...
