My phone has randomly started dropping data, and from the hints I gather around the forum this is a normal thing? Or is it a hardware problem? My phone didn't do it the first couple weeks I had it, and now it seems like a regular occurrence.
If You're talking about 4g data, that's happened with every single 4g phone I've ever used.
Mine drops 4G constantly. It is really beginning to piss me off...

Never happened to me with my Thunderbolt, except when LTE was totally down.

My buddy has a Thunderbolt and he always has 4G, I used to have 4G everywhere, but not anymore...

It's weird because the data speeds on the Rezound (by speedtest) blow the Thunderbolt away, yet it seems to have these more basic connectivity problems.
I've never lost 4G actually.
Never lost 4G unless it was an outage.

I lost data for most of the day....I still don't think its working right after flashing 3 different roms

Has everyone who is losing 4g taken the radio upgrade? I really don't drop 4g/lte ever, but when I go inside my job it sometimes switches to 3g but it's almost an instant switch after the radio update.

I've never dropped data on the Rezound. Unlike the GNex I used to have that couldn't hold a data connection.
Well I jynxed myself, I had posted a few hours ago I've never had any problems and surely enough, my 4G was still connected with full bars but just stopped responding until I went into airplane mode and back out. I don't know what that was about but I'm mostly fine.

I used to have that happen all of the time. Even had it happen w/ my Samsung phones on Sprint. Basically the upload arrow would stay lit, the download would stay off, and it would just sit there.
So far I haven't had it since the OTA. *crosses fingers*
That's what I have to do, but for some reason can't get 3g

I drop it occasionally but it is likely due to bad service.
Normally very reliable here, but had one day last weekend, and again today seemingly that things were flaky. Had the 3g randomly drop out. When it was up I would see the upload arrow going full speed ahead but no down, and couldn't surf. Connection would drop and start again and could surf. Horrible speed test results.
So my issue from yesterday persisted and a mms wouldnt even send this morning. Tried airplane mode but when coming out of it the radio wouldnt come back on seemingly. Rebooted and all is well again. Weird. Cant be hardware if a reboot fixes id think.

I had a Thunderbolt and it dropped constantly. With the Rezound , I've had very minimal data drop and have yet to see 1G since removing LTE On/Off.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Well, my data is perfect again, so im guessin vzn 3g was down or something n nvr told anybody. Cuz my aunt's eris wasnt gettin data
Okay, here is my problem: Every once in a while I will completely lose all signal on my phone. It wont pick up 2G, 4G, nothing. Wifi and bluetooth both seem to work though just fine. I've searched and haven't found anyone with the same issues so I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if nobody has commented on it. I first noticed this about two weeks ago, when my phone refused to find service. I was stuck with the little X next to the signal meter. I figured I was just in an area with poor service and didn't think much of it. An hour later, still, no service. This time I went outside where I know I have good 4G service and nothing for 5 minutes. I enabled airplane mode and disabled it, still nothing. Turned the phone off and back on as a last resort. Still nothing. I ended up finishing the day with wifi calling as that still worked. Sometime later my phone began receiving service again so I thought it was a fluke issue.
Then, just yesterday the same thing happened. This was when I rebooted my phone (which bypasses the fastboot feature) and service was restored right away. I called T-mobile and they said there weren't any network issues in my area and they had never heard of this issue before on the Amaze.
So, this is where I'm asking if anyone has heard of this before. I'm running a stock ROM and it hasn't been rooted. Thanks for any comments!
This might help just a touch. I do live in an area with decent service but my couch and bedroom are deadzones for some odd reason. I bought these signal boosters for 2 bucks figuring "what the hell, I'll give it a shot". No more dead zones, and data went from E to G. Not a miracle worker but for a couple bucks it keeps a signal at least.

Wireless Coverage
I have 2 brand new Amaze 4G for a few months now and had no problem with the coverage. I know the coverage is good with full signal bars and have not found any issue with coverage.
Sometimes, different phones have different received signal sensitivity. Also depends on user behavior. If you are always using a handsfree device (cable or BT) and your phone is in a bag, then your coverage is reduced by your action. The best coverage you can ever get is when you have line of sight (unobstructed) to the cell towers.
There are a few issues with your problem:
1-Poor inbuilding coverage
2-Poor coverage in your area
3-Network optimization issue
4-Hardware issue
If you are going from 1 bar to no bar, then most likely you have coverage issue. You lost signal since the level is already very low.
If you are going from full bar to no bar, you might have hardware or network optimization issue. Try your phone is the city or area with known good coverage first. If the behavior persists, then you have phone problem.
I used to manage wireless network for carriers.
same issue
I've had the exact same thing happen to me. Red x, no signal except wifi, in places where signal is not normally an issue. Battery pull doesn't work, return to signal seems arbitrary. Had the same thing happen with my Desire. I have no answers, but you are not alone.
Yup, it happened with my first Amaze. I got it back in January and started playing with it - rooting, custom ROMs, etc. Then later that day, the signal just died on me. I thought I must've screwed something up, so I flashed back to everything stock. No luck. I waited for half a day, then it randomly started working again at night.
You probably noticed tha tI said that happened with my first amaze. That's because after that signal issue, I discovered that my camera stopped working. I returned it to T-Mobile and they sent me another one. This one is working great though.
Well thank you for all the input so far. Id like to say that this isn't my first cell phone and I'm not new to weak or poor signal areas, especially from T-mobile. I was using my phone at work at the time, which has anywhere from no signal to 3 bars depending on where you are. This wasn't one of the cases that I was standing in a dead zone when I checked my phone. I had no signal for several hours, including over 30 minutes of standing outside trying everything I could think of. I have had excellent signal outside in the past, exactly where I was "Hiding". I got the Amaze because I was tired of playing with my old HD2 and having to work around bugs and possibly not receiving calls. So far, I'm not happy that the radio seems to quit responding all together and leaves me without a phone (minus the wifi calling but I'm not always around a hotspot).
I also experienced a dramatic signal loss at home, going from full signal strength to maybe one bar right around the time that I first had issues. I don't know if this is related or if this is a completely different thing.
I am 99% sure this is an error with the phone - probably software related with the radio driver(s) or radio firmware. I guess I will try taking it back to T-mobile and seeing if they could exchange it for a new one. I was just really wanting to avoid that as I finally got my phone setup how I like it. Again, Thank you for the input and let me know if you are having the same problem or if you know of a solution.
I am on my third Amaze and also tried a Galaxy SII X due to the same problem at my home. Even the Samsung did the same thing. In my house and especially in the driveway, the signal varies wildly between -85dbm to as low as -111dbm. The frustrating thing is once it loses the signal, it doesn't seem to reacquire it without a reboot.
I'm with Telus, and they said they will check on it, but I'm not holding my breath. In my immediate area, outside my house, the signal isn't great, but it will usually hang on. I have been to different cities, and all has been well with it. Coming from a rock steady 2G Touch Pro II, I am disappointed as well..
I am new here to this site, but I am having a similar problem with my Amaze. At work I always have a weak 4G signal, but the last few days it has been gone altogether. I have full phone service (4 bars) but no data. The 4G indicates I have signal, but I can't connect to anything on the web. I called HTC and they had me pull my battery and sim card so they could send a "reset signal" to my phone. After my phone came back up I had faster service than ever, but it only lasted a few minutes and went away again. I am thinking this is a phone issue. Oh, the Amaze is my first Android. My only previous smartphone was my Nokia E71x.
I know if I have WiFi calling selected, an x will show up on my signal if i turn WiFi on. I've personally only had slow data in the area I work. I blame it on the fact that it is a busy corporate park with lots of hotels, cuz my signal is fine elsewhere. Try calling tmobile and seeing if they have known tower issues in your area. I know I had that problem with sprint and they sent me a free airave. Maybe tmobile could do something similar if its.a known problem.

It's most likely a network issue. I get the same thing, it will timeout/refresh the network where it will not get a signal for about 30 seconds a few times per day. I blame the network, since the same thing happened to me with my mt4g

Thank you! This fixed it for me. It was happening only today while I had WiFi enabled, it would turn the mobile radio off completely and the box would be grayed out so I was unable to turn it back on. I had my sim updated today to enable wifi calling so after I read your post, I turned the wifi calling off and the mobile radio signal came back immediately. Strange bug.

I was told It's by design. It saved battery life by not constantly searching for a mobile network it won't use (due to wifi calling). It's not like you can hand off the call to the local network. I do notice that if i start walking outside, once my wifi hits a low signal it logs back on the network.

There is actually an option to specify how the WIFI calling works: either all the time or only when cellular signal is gone. Sounds like you have it set to be on all the time. This means that if you have a good WIFI connection, the cellular radio is shut off and all traffic goes through the WIFI calling app. The other option (which I use) only uses wifi calling when there is no cellular signal.
I have lost cellular signal 3 additional times since my last post. Its not just that I'm in a bad spot and I have no signal for 30 seconds. This goes on for 30 minutes or more - up to several hours. I have found that rebooting the phone fixes it as I believe it completely (as much as possible) removes power from the radio and requires it to be completely re-initiated during the reboot. Simply shutting it off doesn't work as the quickboot is enabled and most likely doesn't perform a complete re-initialization of the radio. My only guess at this point is that there is some kind of possible leftover code from development which never was removed from the radio (this happens more times than not). It could be a timeout or simply causing the radio to hang because of 1. excessive heat generation, 2. excessive power drain, 3. buffer overflow, 4. excessive RF transmit power... In any case, one of those issues could trigger an event in the radio to cause it to simply stop responding.
I am in the process of trying to get T-Mobile to get me a new phone as I am outside of the 30-day window. I have also confirmed it with them that this was not a tower issue.
Thanks

Hmmmm who is dear? Lol.... Ne ways, well first off, I commend you for digging this thread up rather than just starting a new thread without even looking first :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: I can't say I've ever seen someone who hasn't even been a member for 1 full day do that. Shoot, I see senior members start new threads or pointless threads without searching first, so good job haha.
Ok, back on topic now, if it's only dropping when you go in your room, then I don't think it's anything wrong with the phone. Not sure who your provider is, but u may be able to call them and have them look up your address and tell you what kind of signal u should get outside your house, and what to expect inside your house. I know t-mobile does at least

Well your situation is a little different than other peoples in this thread if u can't connect al all. Ok wait so first off, it won't connect to a network at all? AND you only paid 50 bucks for it...? Sounds a little fishy to me bud, why did he say he was selling it...?
Next thing, I don't know why a t-mo rep would tell you to root the phone, rooting has no effect on your signal strength or your ability to connect to a network.
And lastly, is the phone a T-Mobile branded amaze owhat carrierr...? and will it not connect at all, period, or can u make calls just not data...?

Does anyone else have problems with mobile data dropping frequently?
My thunderbolt and rezound act the same. At work, the signal strength reported in the about phone screen fluctuates between -63 & - 73dbm. Ill lose mobile data countless times daily. If you go to the settings to try and toggle mobile data, it's greyed out and says turning on...
So frustrated with this behavior
Ehh I have this problem to a certain extent with the nexus but its not too bad

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.

Try using *#*#4636#*#* and toggle lte on and off. If you absolutely need lte only set to only allow it. I have a good lte signal at work, but it dies quickly once in the building.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Hi I used to have the S3, obviously I have the Note2, I notice that the location of work in nyc area had constant 4G all day. Now it bounces 3G most of the time. So what I did it checked mobile networks from global to LTE..
Is that right or should I leave it to global. When on global it searches for a better signal all the time. Maybe my sim card is bad??
Are there any issues with the radio, baseband, software issues?
Maybe my phone has an issue with the antenna?
I actually in fact live in NYC as well (downtown manhattan to be specific) and in my area, when i start to drive out, I bounce to 3G then eventually to 4G. Its everytime I drive out. Not sure if its the path or something .Doesn't really bother me because I shouldn't be using this beast while driving but just noticed if that helps.
Great to hear from you, neighbor! Yes some odd reason the phone bounces in & out 3G then 4G. Its annoying....But I thought it was just me.

I live in Florida and I was noticing my phone jump from 4g to 3g and back yesterday while at home where I normally have solid 4g.
I found the opposite. Cincinnati Ohio tho but my 4G is rock solid on my note II and was ehhhhh on my GSIII

Glad to hear I'm not alone...I was ready to bring the phone back.
I guess the Samsung phones don't have a great antennas. My partner has a Motorola Bionic, his phone is 4G, all day. Other partner has a Rezound his is 3G but full signal strength.
We have the same signal bars strength wise. But his is 4G mine is 3G.

Outside of Philly and my phone was randomly going into 3G the other night. I think it's network related as I restarted and had 4G back.

Yes I too had to restart the phone and I would get 4G.
Wouldn't that be an issue with the sim card at that point? I wouldnt think its the phone because the sim is what recognizes Verizon LTE networks?
Cirrect me if I'm wrong, I want to figure this out.

Restarting causes the phone to re-authenticate with the network. Picking up 4G again is likely just luck of the draw. If a local tower (or towers) are having problems, you may keep 4G until there is an issue, then it'll disappear again until you swap towers, toggle airplane mode, or restart the phone. Without talking to VZW though, there is no telling if it is a network issue, or a device issue. Given the number of people that have seen problems recently though, I'm going to go with network issue.
I have 4G issues as well, seems just a day or so after rooting. I haven't seen 4G since; I've restarted several times, pulled sim card, put in airplane mode. I think I need the "get a new sim card" fix. I am rooted but no roms installed; does anyone know should I go full stock before walking into the store and asking for a new card? Or will I be ok since it's only rooted?
I had 4g issues this morning and this evening (in boston); reboots restored but i have no doubt this is verizon crap; my razr periodically had the same issue. At work i had no 4g issues. Drives me batty - I think the only fix is for at&t to record these issues and start using them in advertisements

Ok..I just replaced my sim from Verizon. They told me there was a bad batch of sims. So they gave me the 2nd batch. Please don't quote me, because that guy was a sales person who tries to sell me everything in the store...lol
I will let everybody know within a day or two.

when i have lte issues I'll throw my phone in airplane mode for a couple seconds, then take it off. works most of the time for me.

I'm no longer having issues, in fact I'm now seeing 4g in areas that were only 3g before. I think it was just network related.
EDIT: See you got it sorted out. Sorry for the bump.
I've noticed over the past few days that I've really been bouncing around a lot. Seems to go through phases.
