Has anyone had issue with losing Data connectivity on and off?
For the past 2-3 days i have been losing data connectivity and force to turn on - off the data switch in order for it to get back on.
Two hard reset with no success.
I am in St Louis MO.
Nope mine hasn't turned off but it has just paused... But that could be my area...
Yes. Mine loses data about 20 times a day. If not more. It's starting to become unbearable.

Are any of you that are having problems in a first or second round LTE deployment area? I'd read that, as annoying as it may be, it may be evidence that they're actively working on lte sites..

I did called sprint and they did a data reset with the ##3282# seems to have done the trick, you might want to make sure you mobile network is set to CDMA only unless your in a LTE area.

Anyone from St Louis area having the same issue ?
I was having the same issue. I couldn't even get above 50kpbs down the last couple days. I called sprint and the did something from their end and told me to update profile on my end. Now I'm back up to 300-800 kpbs which is normal in my area but crappy none the less. I am on the border of a first and second round market but closer to second. Hoping 1st round reaches my house.

I'm in grand rapids, MI, and have dozens of data connectivity warnings in various apps, despite being on my home wifi. Texts come through very delayed too. I'm in a round 2 LTE city... Toggling airplane mode fixes things...
yup
I'm in the same city as tmuka and I'm in a similar boat only worse cause I live out by the airport. Looking into playing with the options in epst to see if anything can be made better for day to day since lte isn't an option and most free hotspots are slower than the 3g sometimes.

If I didn't have great wifi I'd be bummed, ns4g was great too, but EVOLTE camera and overall speed is awesome!

I agree, the picture quality is great!
EDIT: Okay, just called sprint and used the dial reset and it works!
My phone will disconnect 3g and just stay off till I reboot or go in and manually turn off the internet connection and turn it back on..
Sprint is trying to tell me that everybody is having the same problem and there should be an OTA sent out to fix the problem..
Thanks
I did and ran PRL and profile updates

Mine does it as well . Don't know if its the phone or sprint working on the towers . I called and they told me they were working on towers in my area. They said they shut one off and the other towers around there have to pick up for the one that's getting worked on. But its annoying

I see! So they sold me a phone that won't operate on the old network?
Way to go sprint!
Yep, I have the same problems. The 3G connection is a joke. I was dealing Sprint yesterday to get my phone replaced and the guy asked how I liked it. I told him the 3G connection sucks and he said they were working on the towers.
I think it's bull****. I just love paying for ****ty service.

I've replaced my phone twice! I'm glad I'm not he only one that's having problems..
Another problem I'm having..
Weather widget won't update(everything in enabled) and I'm getting roaming notices every 20 min.
How do we know when LTE is live on the phone? Does the icon show?
Yeah having the same issues as you guys. 3G will just suddendly drop & I'll start roaming for no reason. I'm not doubting that Sprint is working on the towers but it is also something going on with this phone because my wife's E4GT is having none of these issues.
LTE shouldn't have anything to do with our 3g connection should it?
If they are goofing with towers than maybe. I'm just curious how do we know when Lte is live on our phones.
Ever since I tried unlocking the bootloader and installing a recovery my phone will not connect to 3G. It will either have no data connection at all or 1X. I have done so many update profiles and update PRL's and nothing seems to help.
The only way I can get 3G to come back now is if I set the network mode to "CDMA Only" then 3G comes back, but when I first got the phone I had it in "CDMA/LTE" and 3G was fine. I don't know what to do now.
Having the exact same 3G issues as the rest of you. Sprint had me reset the phone provisioning with the MSL code, do a PRL update, and Firmware update and nothing worked. My 3G down speeds avg. 0.24 Mbps and cuts out every now and then. The Rep said she would call me back today to see if the changes helped. The bad thing is we are all patient about not having LTE yet but it is ridiculous that our 3G speeds are the worst in the business now and almost nonexistent. ATT, T-Mobile, and VZ should make a commercial saying who cares if you have unlimited data when you have the slowest data and barely have data.

Ive had it to where 3g is on, dies then turns on in 3 min....Duval County Jax fL i presume?
I live in a 3g only area, and today my phone has started showing 4g sporadically.
When the phone shows 4g my data stops working and then all data cuts out and 3g comes back.
I'm running viper Rom with snuzzo kernel. Could this be a software issue? The Verizon website does not have my city listed for current or upcoming 4g availability.

if you know you are in a city with no 4g and dont plan on getting it soon, why not change it to CDMA only? The phone might think its getting a signal from a 4g tower and its causing it to switch like that

This has never happened before today, so I was hoping it was me getting 4g in my area.....
I tried the cdma only setting, and my data as a whole is spotty now. My wife's thunderbolt is doing the same thing now.
Is this what its like when they flip the 4g switch? Does anybody else remember when 4g came on in there area?

they might be testing the 4g radio in your area and it that might be causing it. give it a couple of days, if it doesnt fix you might want to as a vzw rep. for me it was back when tbolt launched when we got 4g
What ROM are you using? I know that on some ROMS, like cyanogenmod, it's actually best to keep phone on the setting that supports multiple data modes.
I live in a town of 15k and we just got 4G, so u may get it after all...

Hey everyone,
For some reason my GN3 isn't getting a 4G connection in my home or office, my GN2 gets a flawless connection.
I did all standard trouble shooting procedures with Sprint but no go.
I made sure the cdma/lte option was selected, turned off the connection optimization, reset the profiles and prl.
Sometimes the 4G will turn on, but it will disconnect quickly. Is my phone defective?
Thanks

Yeah a combination of both might really be giving you a horrible experience. This phone is amazing when getting a signal. I switched from the HTC One, which for me was a horrible phone for 4G or just signal in general. This phone grabs and keeps 4g anytime.

Actually it seems better than the note 2, I am getting 4g where my wife note 2 is only getting 3g in some spots. Yes we are side by side when it happens. Yes we traded phones to see if it was just the distance of a foot or two in the truck made the difference. It did not.

The 4g on my note 3 goes in and out. I can wake the phone and as soon as I do the 4glte icon disappears and the 3g icon pops up. No stable 4g connection at. Haven't been able to test the speeds because of this. Now my gs4 is sitting right by my note 3 and it has full 4g getting speeds up to 24mbps. Yet the note 3 is still only showing 3g. Both on the same prl. Both have lte enabled.

I get some issues from time to time; In Seattle, Sprint has yet to officially announce 4G LTE coverage.
I'm lucky to get it where I live and frequent but from time to time it just doesn't seem to work, it will say I'm connected but has DNS errors, perhaps because the connection dropped or they're upgrading a tower... When my connection drops I try cycling Airplane Mode a few times and that usually lets me connect.

I have to cycle airplane mode to connect a lot of times as well. Does anyone know why LTE seems to be so much tougher to connect to than WiMax? On my S2 that I just upgraded from you could set the specific db that Wimax connected and disconnected at as well as the specifc interval that it would check for 4g. It connected to and stayed connected much more reliably than LTE does. I live in a well covered area, but there are certain points along my driving route where the 4g will drop to 3g. After that I notice that it is very hit and miss as far as deciding to reconnect to LTE, even though the coverage is superb. If I cycle airplane mode, it connects with a strong LTE signal. This is after setting the LTE timer and the buffer timer to 1. Does anyone have settings that make the phone try to connect more often?
Did anybody ever figure out why this is happening, i just picked up my n3 while i was in denver where there is no sprint 4g, but i noticed as soon as i got back to my house where my n2 always got 4g and my wifes icrap 5s gets 4g but not my n3?
Here are the settings I use. 4G almost always. connection optimizer is removed on my phone too. If you use something to create shortcuts to activities you can access the hidden menus without using the dialer. Easy prl change is nice but since 4G is new in my area I stay on the newest the phone grabs from network.

Yeah, I'm getting general LTE flakiness lately, when previously it was fine. I don't know if it's the phone or the network. I seemed to have better speeds with my kyocera torque and s4. I'm guessing it's network congestion. In some places with decent signal, it has slow connection to no. Pisses me off when it drops down to 3g. I'm thinking more people are upgrading old phones and hogging bandwidth. Ten months ago LTE was much faster.
You guys think this would work??

Is anyone else having issues with data connection with HTC one max? I have already swapped out for new phone and still having same issues. I live in LTE coverage and cant even get 3G. Wife has sprint and has no issues. Any ideas?

I'm having similar problems, I usually switch to cdma only when texts stop sending. I'm sure it's just a radio issue, hopefully it will resolve itself on the next update.

and call me simple but I love when the spark icon animates...
this is a definite read:

Some Sprint Tri-band phone users have had the issue where they can either stay on LTE and get no texts/calls, or it goes from LTE to 3G, but not back, until airplane mode or a restart happens . This is due to the towers in question needing an upgrade. At the worst, it should be fixed by the end of the year.
The only problem I'm experiencing is that my data icon doesn't go away when Im on wifi, anyone else have this problem or a possible fix?

I have quite the opposite situation of you. Coming from my Galaxy Nexus it feels like I have totally new service. I get LTE at places where I barely got 3G on my Nexus.
Looks like I will be going back to AT&T. Data is too important to take the chance that it could get better with new/different radio... Really like the Max ... Service just suxs ...

there was a post somewhere about the data/lte/phone issue; it had to do with the new Spark network they are rolling out, and if I remember correctly, some of the new areas were undergoing a "fix" to remedy this, and was going to be done b4 the end of the year..
I have no problems with this outside of Chicago, where I think our Spark network is "completed"..
smoke this over...

I've had the evo 4g LTE for 1.5 years now.... and really one of my few gripes is the phone does not hold/acquire an LTE signal very well when compared to my wife's s3.... often times she'll have LTE and I'll be stuck on 3g...
I was all set to buy a note3 jan 1. when I am upgrade eligible... but this phone intrigues me and it appears to be $200 cheaper.
I'd really feel dumb to get another HTC phone only to have the same LTE connection issues (btw I live in chicago market)....
I live in the Chicago Market,(burr ridge area) and have fantastic signal now, both for data and for calls, with the new maxx, and my wife has a ONE, and has no issues either..
