I have had 2 different vibrants now and they both have done the same thing. I haven't been able to isolate the problem to any one thing so I ask if there is anyone else experiencing the same problem. My network connection just freezes. I can't call or text and I have no data. If I try to make a call, it freezes on dialing and the only way to get it back is reboot. This is happening about twice a day and is really a pain. The only way I know it has happened is by trying to make a call and it freezes. I don't know how long it has been that way and when people try to call me, it goes straight to vmail. I put a new SIM card in thinking that was the problem, but it didn't help. I have searched everywhere trying to find a fix. TMO CSR was absolutely no help at all. Shocking.
BTW I am in an area with no 3G coverage. I am on EDGE all the time.

Since you have had the problem now with two different phones it could be a result of some app(s) you have installed, or related to your coverage. Did thr problem start after having each phone for some time?
I am working on ruling out an app. Weird thing is, I have had winmo for over 3 years in the same area with no probs. This is my first android. I am uninstalling an app at a time to figure out if it is one.
****Update****
So I uninstalled the ESPN Scorecenter app. I haven't had a freeze in over 24 hrs. Guess I am going to have to find another app to follow the games while I am at church.
are you sure u r in area that has only Edge? have u try to Lagfix the fone?
goodluck.
This just happened to my wife's Vibrant. This reminds me of when I had the T-mobile Shadow, where suddenly, it would not be able to send or receive data or calls BUT the phone itself shows no indications of any signal problems. It's as if the cellular software component has frozen and so the signal bars are frozen to whatever state they were and thus tricking you into thinking everything is fine until you try to make a call or someone calls you on a landline wondering if your cell phone is dead.
I suspect it's due moving into a poor or zero signal area and the phone tries to make a data connection. I really have no idea how to fix this other than to hope there is a firmware update to resolve this. The only fix is to reboot the phone (flipping the phone to flight mode gets one to a state where you can't turn flight mode off... which indicates a lost of control to the cellular component).
I am consider finding a way to reboot the phone nightly, which will help if this happens overnight, but I wish there was a way to detect this more immediately so it can reboot when needed. Perhaps an app that monitors the carrier signal strength and if the signal level is perfectly the same for a long duration, then a lock up of the cellular component is suspected.

I just purchased my Amaze 4g few months back, then i was so happy because i suffered alot to save up the money that i used for the purchase. I starved myself to do that. But so unfortunate for me, my phone has now developed a very big problem that is disturbing my buisness online and offline and setting it back. the problem is that: When ever i switch the network from 2g to 4g, it disappears completely and only appears when i switch it back to 2g, but the 2g will be useless because i cannot use it for anything. I cannot browse with it, but my instant messages like whatsapp, 2go rarely works.
I don't know whether the pdnet software has spoilt my phone because i was using it to connect my phone to my pc for surfing the net, before this happened.
Please, i need your opinions as all the phone engineers that i took it to seems like they haven't witnessed such a problem before.
You can still email me your opinions, advices.....
Thank you.

Maybe if you can tell someone if you are using stock, or which rom, if you are switching from 2g to 4g manually, anything about your data plan, do you know if there is some outage in your area, etc., some more details about the phone, someone will know enough to help.

There are settings that allow 2G only--maybe that's what's going on with you--see if this helps:

Hey all, I've had my Evo for almost over a year now, and data was never an issue. As of lately, I'm unsure what caused this issue to start popping up, but my phone will have a 3G or LTE connection, but even if I don't move or leave the phone alone, I will lose the data connection and a popup in the notification drawer says "Unable to establish wireless data connection" where toggling data or airplane mode doesn't usually cause it to come back, it just does whenever it feels like it. I don't know whether it's Sprint, or my hardware, but this issue has been present for the past few months with no solution. I am on the latest radios, sense ROM, and learned about custom PRL's today (on 56019 now) and nothing has solved it. I've searched for anything on this device related to this problem and haven't found anything, so any suggestions or help would be appreciated
Any suggestion whether the issue is at least my phone or the network would be helpful. I have no clue what the cause of the issue could be. Thanks

I noticed this more frequently as well once I installed 4.3 a while back - seems like the radio is much more sensitive and would pop up that message occasionally when it would switch between 1x/3g/4g/Wi-Fi - or from roaming back to sprint. I just ignored it - dismissed message and all would be well.
however, sprints network has been more and more troublesome these past 4-6 months - actually switched to ATT beginning of May due to this after being with Sprint for 16+ years.
Hey everyone, my wife and I just got new M9's on sprint last Monday. Thought everything was going fine but then I noticed that whenever I was on LTE a lot bof my apps wouldn't work. I can watch Netflix and use tweetcaster, but a lot of other apps won't work(facebook,Pandora, and google now I can search but if i try voice recognition it says it can't connect to the server). Everything works fine on 3g and Wi-Fi. I have done speed tests of the LTE and they are always at least 7mbps down and 2 up. Have tried clearing data/cache and uninstall/reinstall of apps and still nothing. But it's not just my phone it's my wife this is happening on also. Any help would be appreciated cause I can't figure it out. Thanks everyone!
Try toggling airplane mode or mobile data on/off.
It sounds like the "data drop" issue some of us are having.
I am having the same problem i called sprint and they couldn't help at all i think is a phone defect

Try updating your profile or PRL , that's helped me in the past with data issues

I also have run into this issue, it happened with my evo LTE until I unlocked/rooted my phone and could install custom ROMs and now with my M9 , which is completely stock with just the OTA I only have one single bar and LTE constantly switches to 3G and I run into data transfer issues even when it says its connected.

Already tried updating the profile and prl. didnt help. i tried airplane mode and back on and i can now get facebook to load new stuff but no pictures or video will load. still have a better than average connection. im gonna try pandora to see if it works here soon. this is frustrating to have to do this. hopefully a fix can come soon.

Nevermind still doesn't work after airplane mode toggle I was wrong. Speed tests say I'm getting around 14mbps download speeds. This is super frustrating. I don't understand.works fine on Wi-Fi and pretty sure 3g too. Could it be the apps themselves? Cause it's just some. But they are major apps like Pandora and facebook. Should be ready for this.

I've had the exact same problem since day 1 with my phone two weeks ago. You probably also have the issue where you are typically only at 1 signal bar when on LTE but full bars when on 3g. I've also noticed it hits certain apps but not others. Usually toggling airplane mode and/or mobile data will fix it for me, but sometimes i have to completely reboot. even after the OTA update last week, the problem persisted. i brought my phone into a sprint store on sunday and they replicated the problem but had no idea the cause, so they swapped the phone out. same problem with the replacement, so i'd imagine we're stuck waiting for a software/radio/firmware update before this is resolved

Thank you for this. Feels good just to hear someone else describe my problems exactly. Wonder if it s all sprint m9 or just maybe ones people got early cause I got mine the Monday before release. Same on both my wife and my phone. I can't understand why some work and some don't. Now that you say it my LTE does most of the time just say one bar. And 3g is usually full. Hope a fix comes soon. Wish we could get conformation that ots a known issue. Facebook isn't a huge deal ask I can just use the mobile site but Pandora ducks to not have it.
Did yours come with headphones? The sprint site said no when we ordered and I asked customer care on twitter. Both said no headphones but ours both came with them.

I wonder if it's a DNS issue on LTE.
3G, LTE and WIFI are all pretty separate interfaces and have their own "setup".
What you might try doing is see if you can PING the server by NAME and by IP Address on each of those interfaces.
You may have to dig a bit to figure out what servers the various apps are using.
If it pings by IP but not by NAME it's a DNS issue.
Ever since Lollipop there have been some IPV6 issues that cause DNS problems. But those have been usually on WIFI only.
There are some tools in Google Play to disable IPV6 but it only disables it on WIFI interface.
Like on Lollipop M8, MMS would not work on WIFI for some folks and disabling IPV6 would temporarily fix it.
A really nice tool to debug with is called FING that you can get from Google Play. It has built in PING, Trace Route and a bunch of other goodies.
I used it to find a rogue device on my work Network.
If some apps work and others don't it's very likely a DNS issues. Unless Sprint is now blocking some ports on LTE.
You can also test HOST name and PORT for a service, this takes some serious digging to see if the port is blocked.
There is a tool in FING for that too called TCP Connection Tester. I usually have used TELNET on Desktop PC's to do the same.
If you google that service you can often find the host and port it's using.
Here is an example: Let's say SPOTIFY won't work on LTE
Get the Port and HOST from a search I did that showed this. I searched for SPOTIFY HOST PORT

Yeah mine came with headphones, I'd imagine all the M9s come with them
I'm so happy this is happening to other people as well and not just me, was going crazy trying to figure what the hell was going on with my phone. Hopefully some update will fix this soon as it's very frustrating when I text everyone with Google voice through hangouts and my app doesn't pull in the messages

I'm happy it's not just mine either I mean it sucks but last thing I wanted was a bad radio.
Same issue here, when on LTE can't send snaps (just an example) also push notifications don't seem to come through. Though it might have been due to the rom I was using but doesn't seem to be the case. Even RUU'd it and it didn't help same exact issue. 3G just fine, wi-fi just fine. This is driving me nuts. I guess it sounds like it's a Sprint issue and not hardware which is good but calling Sprint Tech support is usually usless unless you get to the higher ups.
My friend has a pure stock locked non-rooted s-on phone he says he has been having issues as well.
We might wanna get something like this going over at Sprint Community hopefully try and get the issue moved up. I was thinking it might be a DNS issue as well.
Has anyone found a solution?
I have yet to find or see a solution. Sprint or HTC hasn't said anything about it officially. Really sucks cause a bunch of my stuff just doesn't work right over LTE including push notifications won't come through. I have not enjoyed this phone thus far.
I'd advise you all to return your phone that's what I did with mine
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Free mobile app
I've swapped for another M9, doing the same thing. I'm on the phone with Sprint now, they have escalated to a second tech. That tech claims they are not aware of any issues on the M9, but did say they heard of one S6 having such issues. The tech advised to swap it yet again.
If enough people return them they might actually look at the problem. I remember when the evo4G had an issue similar to this, you couldn't stream music Sprint's proxy would mess it up. Took them a while to release a fix. Really this isn't an acceptable problem, I'm mean half the apps are worthless cause they won't work over LTE. I'm past my return period and I'm unlocked and this appears not to be a hardware problem. I just wish they would confirm something that they are looking into it. I hate calling Sprint for tech support, it will be the usual non-sense of resetting the phone and doing data profile updates. Then they bump it up and tell you they will call you back when half the time they never do anyway and even if they do it's usually not with a fix. I remember I had a problem getting Direct Connect provisioned on the M8 when it came out. Regular CSR couldn't add the code correctly, they did end up fixing it eventually but no thanks to the techs I worked with nor did they really follow with me more than once. An issue like this needs to make it to the correct people which appears that has not happened yet.
I agree. I am chatting with HTC Support now.

Let me know what they say, I know Sprint has yet to acknowledge the issue. All this phone swapping business for probably no reason is gonna cost them a lot. I guess it builds a nice refurb stash.

HTC Chat is getting me no where. I even sent them these links:
https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/204027
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-one-m9/help/lte-signal-apps-wont-utilize-ideas-t3080920
I called, they supposedly create da ticket under my account to escalate. I'll have to see what happens with that.
Title says it all. Problem is, is that it only happens while I'm at work. It happens very often too. Never not once did it happen to my nexus 5. I've tried many things when looking up this problem, and not one of them fixed the problem. Anyone know why or how I can fix this?? Or does it simply do this because I lose service? I will admit that I rarely get service while inside my work building.
Been happening to me lately, i barely get service at home but im on wifi still get it
My V10
I get the same thing at work when I'm in the bathroom.
I just assumed that there was a lack of signal, and the message meant you were not going to get calls/sms.
I get this 91st work but I have service. Between 3 and 5 bars. I want to call t mobile about it but I'm rooted so I'm not sure if I should.
I got it today a couple of times. I get a weak signal at my job. I just pull sim card and reboot to solve the issue.
