Is there a way to display the carrier name beside the signal bars, my Note offten times goes in to emergency calls only but still displays signal and I will not be able to tell until I locked it and take a look at the lock screen to see if I am on a network or not.... (for anyone wondering why I want it displayed)
So question.. is there a way to display the carrier name in the status bar on the home screen?
If it is often going to emergency calls I'd suggest you get it replaced. If you're on att we still have a few days left just bring it back where you got it tell them what's up and they will swap it out. Just for ****s get a new sim card I'm on my third card for this phone cause of little issues we thought might be solved with a similar swap. Should be free, was for me
I know this isn't what you are asking for but what you are seeing should not happen and most likely is a phone defect.

The thing is. .. Its related to LTE and i live in a fringe area if i set the phone to hspa it stops doing it so i was wondering if it was possible so i could see how offten i actually lose my LTE connection.

It might is possible if rooted or on custom Rom. But as far as i know it is not an option in the stock settings so can't be done unrooted.

My bedroom is a fringe area depending on where I move the phone it gets hspa (wow my note auto corrected that to hepatitis haha) and I don't see the emergency call issue you are seeing, but do get the network time problem but only in my room. That's just really strange behavior.
I'm just saying if it could be a phone issue replace it now while you can still get a new in box replacement.
Maybe there is an app to count the handoffs or something. Is the difference in 4g icon not satisfactory?

Plus are you not seeing the circled icons? I'm just rooted with the OC kernel and see this.

Yeah my lock screen shows me the carrier name not in the status bar like yours but rather right below where yours is. .. The funny thing is i work for the carrier and i know my area is very poor for LTE and handoff is not occuring properly which is more related to our simcard and a PLMN issue.
This wont be fixed for a.while so i juat have to get creative. ... I dont mind rooting it i just want to make sure i can do it before i root it

Hi all,
Ok so im on orange and they say all is fine with the 3g though my 3g icon only has the green arrown the red is grey.. if turn the data mode on and off it will work for a few seconds.. then i lose it again.
Really doing my head in now!! was fine yesterday. Also tried pulling the battery.
Any ideas??
Thanks Dave
I was having signal issues, tried all sorts including 2 factory re sets.
In the end put it up against my T-Mob wireless pointer which was about 3 times faster, called orange told them this and got a new phone next day now reception and net speeds are what I expect.
If you have a mate on orange try loading the same page if they beat you then it's the phone as the S3 should kick ass!
I got mine no quibbles.

This is new. My phone shows full signal bars, but data does not work (no LTE displayed in the status bar). When I look at the settings it says "Disconnected" right below Mobile data. If I turn it off and on, it will say "Turning On..." then "Disconnected".
The weird part is that I know I get LTE signal right here (at my desk at work). I've been using the phone here all week. It was working fine, then it switched to disconnected. The first time I turned the data off/on, it connected, showed LTE, and sent an email I had tried to send. Now it refuses to connect at all.
I rebooted the phone, and it first connected to LTE, and now has full bars of 3G.
Anyone else notice something similar happen?
EDIT: Looks like it's Verizon possibly doing some tower work in NYC.
its possible you have a toasted sim card. not very common but i have seen it happen before on my gnex and a few others. Good luck
Another possibility is that Verizon in your area is fixing things.
If you are in Manhattan, a couple of us experienced unstable data connection these few days.
If such data disconnection happens cross the country , then it is a device's issue, which I suspect not.

Same thing keeps happening to me. It's frustrating because it will spool up LTE with full bars, not transmit any data and then disconnect completely from data. Will have to restart my phone which normally gets me back to working 3G until it happens again in an hour or so and have to repeat the process. Toggling the data connection on and off doesn't help. Verizon replaced my SIM card but it hasn't helped anything. Hoping it's just a temporary NYC issue.

I was having a few issues here in New York too. I think they're working on some towers.

Not surprising given some of the photos I've seen of their infrastructure after Sandy. Good to hear I'm not the only one.
This could be a different problem, but today I completely lost all mobile signal, both data and voice. It looked like I was in the subway (with no data icon and a little x next to the bars) . I waited for a couple of hours to see if the signal comes back, but it did not. A reboot fixed the issue.
I would not think much of this typically, but my wife has complained about exactly the same thing. Said she had to reboot the phone on two occasions already to get the signal back. WiFi worked fine though.
Could be a bug with the DNA.

are you in NYC metro? If yes, yes, I had one of such issue today too. but it did not last hours. It lasted 1 minute or so.
I think folks having data problem near NYC may chill for now. I hope it will not persist throughout the trial window of 14 days...
I am in NYC, let's hope it's a VZW issue.

Data seems to be working today. Looks to be a Verizon issue, not a DNA issue.

I have the SAME ISSUE, doesn't happen often, but when it does a reboot fixes it. I'm in Oklahoma. No problems last couple days, it's weird.

My wife was having issues with mobile signal until eventually the phone could not find the sim card. She took it out and put it back in. Problem solved.
I am quite impressed with her. Coming from an iPhone, which she called as stable and boring as a microwave, she is now rocking a themed launcher, all sorts of widgets, power Toggles, settings profiles, and messing with the sim card!

I had that issue with the Galaxy S2.
Simple and fast solution: walk into a local carrier store and pop in a new one. It's free, and surely saves time without having to stress over troubleshooting it
Hi Everyone,
I got the same issue. I did a quick search on xda for this issue and saw this thread on this topic.
I opted to get the HTC One X+ instead of the DNA.
The first week I got the phone (from UK) everything worked fine and now I can't get the data connection to work.
I am currently on Vodafone.
The funny thing is, I take the same SIM card put it into my HTC One X which I got here in Australia and it works fine. No problems, always get a data connection.
However since the new HTC One X+ worked fine for the last few weeks and now it doesn't, I don't think it has anything to do with the networks.
Now since DNA is having this same issue, I am wondering if it has to do with Jelly Bean or the Sense upgrade using the HTC One +(plus).
Very frustrating. Any further thoughts about this bloody frustrating issue ?

As stated, the same SIM card when put into my HTC One X works fine. I get a data connection right away?
Update. Got it working again. Network connections are a bit sensitive.
Will monitor this issue over the next week.
So it is not necessarily the SIM Card.
---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------
UPDATE !
I still have this frustrating problem. With my galaxy note 10.1 I have 75% connection on GSM and a network connection. With HTC One X+ 20% connection on GSM and NO network connection.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Any suggestions anyone?
I have the same issue and I live in California. I think it's definitely a Droid DNA issue, not the Verizon network. I lose all mobile data, not just LTE. It happens probably a few times a day and even when I'm in the middle of a phone call. I'll have to restart my phone to get it working, but I've even had a couple of times where even a restart didn't work and I had to shut the phone off completely multiple times. This issue is rather frustrating!

Same issue here, I've continue to search the internet for a solution. I don't even know if it is hardware or software issue. It always disconnects exactly when I need it, so frustrating!!!!!!

It might not be a VZW problem but just incase go to a Vzw store and ask them if there are any down towers on the area if there aren't ask them for a warranty cpo replacement DNA. Hope this helps.
Lately I've notice wifi signal dropping. I started to notice when youtube gave me network errors, wasn't a big deal I just clicked try again until it work, but now I am noticing in facebook and whatnot. I am browsing XDA and suddenly I lose signal. This is happening on data as well. Sometimes I am on LTE 1 bar when I magically switch to 2G and stays there for a while even when the area is 4G. I read somewhere here about it and it turns the cases are blocking the signal, well I removed my case and it didn't help. However, a month or so, this problem wasn't happening, even with a case. You guys have any idea?
This happened to me the entire first day I owned the one. I even put a ticket in with HTC. They were going to have me reset everything, take my password of my network and unsecured it. Next day I got home and no problems. Stopped using power saver though, also make sure that wifi stays in during sleep.

I guess I will check it out with out Power saver though and see how that works
Just replaced my phone under warenty. Could only get 4g on wcdma only setting. I was missing calls without it showing in call log. My WiFi was increasingly getting spotty. I tried resetting the phone with T-Mobile tech's but it wouldn't help. Still testing the new phone.

I don't have Tmobile warranty since I bought it new off ebay. But I haven't unlocked it or anything yet you think I should contact HTC about this?
I'd call T-Mobile anyway. I think I remember that they honor the warranty of any of their new phones as long as yours is the first SIM ever used in it. Can't hurt to try...

My wifi has been great, no problems. But, recently my service has been crappy too, my connection would drop from 4G to 2G and when I was trying to send a mms it kept failing, even though it said I was on 4G LTE. I did flash my radio to the newest, but did not seem to do anything.
please post in the Q&A section for questions
I don't know if anyone here has experienced this, but when I turn the WiFi on for my G3, the 4G icon does not disappear, as it did on my Galaxy S3. I have spoken to a friend who also received his G3 yesterday and is having the same issue. Since the 4G icon turns grey when mobile data is disabled (yet it remains white when enabled and WiFi is on), I'm wondering if the phone is using both WiFi and 4G network to transfer data; the battery seems to drain noticeably faster when both are enabled.
If anyone can shed some light on to this issue, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Pretty sure 4G is always on regardless of what your s3 showed, otherwise it couldn't send and receive phone calls/text.
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Because they're "independent" of one another, icons for both will appear, instead of the wifi icon "replacing" the 4G/3G icon. I was used to the same behavior, also coming from the Galaxy S3. On one hand, it's more specific but on the other hand, wastes more space.
I have an S3 too and it doesn't show the 4g logo when I'm on wifi either. However, my wife just got an s4 and it will show both icons when she is on wifi. It just must be what verizon switched to now. It's annoying because it takes up more notification screen area.
Ahh, understood. Thanks for clearing it up, guys.
I'm pretty sure the S4 had a caller id app that made the 4G icon stay on. If I remember correctly it was kind of tricky to uninstall but once that was done the 4G icon would turn off during wifi. It could be the same case for the G3.
