I have been data droping for a long time and have been able to fix it. I think it could be doe to the lower right side of the phone "giving in" to much with not really trying. I don't know if I should try and wait this out MORE for an update, try for a Droid fighter on 4/12/12, try and swap it for a "new" phone now or Go for a SGS3 when it comes out and say by-be big BAD red.
I would really like a fix to this, becuase every one thinks it has to be a AT&T phone when they see it mess up and that happens a lot.

Edit2: They said I live in a good 4G area and this should not be happening, So they are sending me a refurb. I will report back after I get it.
Edit:3 I got the "new" one it's feals better build than my old one and it has only droped data one time and that was for only about 30sec. If it does any were near as bad as my 1st one, I will be making some calls. It seems to run 10-20F cooler, so thats good.
Edit4:I can't seem to get 1080p youtube videos to play right. I don't know how to put it, but it looks like a slide show. I updated the flash player my self and no change. I don't want to take this phone back due to it failing this one test. I just like what I am paying for thats all. I see it has a dead pix just like the old one, but I don't care about that. any help on this would be nice. thanks
Edit5: 1080P video fixed buy it's self, but the phone has droped data 2 times and fell back to 3g in the past two days. Still way better than what old phone did. Will be keaping an eye on this and here's the video of it were it had fallen back to 3G: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqetYdaiIYg&feature=channel
I know verizons 4G network is unstable and for them to call it the Most Reliable 4G network is full of it, but right now I am just glad It's more than usable. I will be testing both it and my S2 side by side for the next few days to make sure this phone work's good or at lest better than the first one.
Edit6: ok now I know this is full of it. I have lost data two times to day and had to reboot the phone just for it to fail me again. I will be uploading videos soon.
Edit7: I have no idea how to deal with this. I think I am being throttled
P.S were is my ICS update?
Try downloading Fresh Network.
I just droped data looking for that app and then It does not seem to help so I removed it. Thanks for trying
What area are you in. Sorry if i dont see on the left side. Using tapatalk. But ive run across that but man not as bad you though.

From what I was tolled I live in the best 4G network area and there have not been any "outages". I think it's a software/hardware clash bug of some type that has to do with the battery level.
You have run across it before, can you tell me more and if phone swap will fix or if not then what will.
Thanks

I see that your tethering or mobile hotspot was active the whole time. Have you tried turning that off or uninstalling then reboot and see if it still happens? Have you also tried with a fresh install (as in not letting any apps download at all)? Just wondering if it could be an app causing the data issue.
I turned it off at some point in the video to see if that would help. I have rebooted the phone just about every day. I can't uninstall the stock tethering. I could reset the phone and not let ANY apps install, but I don't think any of the 3rd party apps are making it do this kind of thing.
I may try a reset some time, but I don't think it will fix it.
Thanks for the comment.
Edit: 3ooth post oh yea and I droped data yet again
Edit2: I turned it off at about 3:45 in the video.

If you have market-based battery saving widgets, try to disable all settings related to signal/data and see if you lose it again (after running the above app)
Thanks, but I have tryed that app 2 times and still the new videos happened. I wished so bad that it would fix it, but it did not. I don't have any battery saver apps installed, but I tryed it any way. It would take me a day or maybe two to find out for sure if any thing posted here fix's it or not.
P.S I wish I had a maxx for the battery life.
Edit: Would calling 611 help or do they all not know what a USB cable is and that you can tether from it?
The 4g is working now, but I can never tell what will set it off. ( before the updates USB tethering would make it drop data all the time, but now it's just as likely as loading a m-site on the phone.)
Update: I talked to advaned tech and ...... He said to clear all data from all internet apps. I was trying to tell him, that this crap is very unlikely do to me not Clearing cahe. I showed the guy at a Verizon store this and he said that there "thotting" me.( He did not want to use that word, but thats what he ment.)
If this crap keeps up, I think I WILL be going back to AT&T 100%. I am sick of this crap. The guy I talked to in the AT&T store seemed to know a lot more than: 2 verizon store guys, tech and even Advaned tech.

I have used 17GB so far on my AT&T phone and guess what. It never has done any of this. If you had home internet at 1.5mbs WHEN YOU ARE PAYING TW FOR 10. I bet you would use more data too. AT&T tell's you what the F they are doing to your phone or they fix it. Verizon does not tell crap. I will now be uploading more videos. I will not stop intill it's fixed or I drop them. They will not get away with this BS.
I have never herd of any one who talks on the phone all day to be a phone hog, when they are the ones PAYING FOR IT FOR THEMSELFS.
Any way, whats a "hog" 20GB THEY sell a 20GB plan. 10GB,5GB,4GB,2GB or is 1GB a HOG becuase 95% don't even use a 1GB.
I just what the phone fixed or tell me more about there data thotting, so that I know. AT&T users now have SOME idea about when this MAY happen. I don't, know the when/if/WHY they "thottle".

Everyone throttles data regardless if they tell you or not. Data throttling is your carrier controlling the speed at which data transfers between your phone, servers. Most carriers throttle only the top 5% of their customers. Some probably throttle more.
Sent from my AXI0M ICS RAZR using tapatalk.
Not only do they "throttle", but they cut you off. The last ISP that did that to me was AOL. And guess what be-by they went. I am ok with the "throtting" for the most part, but losing data this much is sub par to say the lest.
P.S So you think losing data connetion about every Day is ok. If thats VZW standerd's then:
1) They should be SUED BIG time for all the crap thay put on tv.
2) I am so moving back to AT&T %1000.
3) Upload ALL MY videos after going back to AT&T.

I have gone through 4 dead Rezound's. The first one i bought was purchased late december, this was a XA model. About 2 weeks ago, it started to act up pretty bad. I called verizon and they sent me a certified like new device, this one was an A model. This one had the same exact issues my first one was having. I called back verizon and they sent me another rezound, A "B" model. This one was great, my battery life was fantastic, i had about 3.5 hours of screen time on the normal 3.7v battery, then i went to make a phone call and noticed that the proximity sensor was dead. Called up verizon and they sent me another one. This one is a "A" model. Well, this one is the worst one of them all. The batter hit about 140 degrees and ate about 35% of the battery doing the initial set up. I literally have to keep the internet turned off to be able to make it through the day.
Well, verizon gave up on trying to replace the rezound and they offered me a comparible device. The offered me a droid charge. At that point, i asked to speak with the manager. While i was waiting to get connected, i took a drive to the local Verizon store. I was talking to the manager when i walked into the verizon store. Handed the Tech support person the rezound and the phone i was talking to the manager on. After a few minutes of the tech support guy messing with the phone and explaining the problems to the manager i had on my other phone, i was offered a Galaxy Nexus.
I just needed to vent, and see if anyone else had the same issues as i did.
Nope.....mine has been perfect...great battery life...with an extended battery.

Be interested in hearing if you have any connectivity issues with the Nexus. My wife was handed a brand new one (Nexus) on Thursday, as her company phone. I couldn't even download tiny apps and widgets to it over the weekend, because it would randomly lose signal completely, all the while my Rezound had a strong 4G connection.
I was having major issues with my fiance's Droid Bionic and I was offered a Razr, Rezound or Galaxy Nexus as a replacement. I took a Rezound.

Initially, i was on ICS. when all the problems started, i went back on S-On/ stock GB and still had the same issues. With this last phone, i kept it on GB. I didnt even try to change anything at all.
Dammit i specfically asked for a nexus just to see what they would say a couple weeks ago when i had to return my Rezound, but they said no "its a premium device" they said.
I'd suggest not taking the nexus, if you don't have signal issues you will get the USB port problem
Wher it thinks it's charging when it's not, the phone overheats like crazy and the screen turns on and off erratically
I'm never buying a Samsung phone again

I understand all the issues that the Galaxy Nexus has, and i appreciate your input. I am just at the point that i want the phone to work. This is my 4th rezound, and i have had nothing but issues with it. I am really not keen on the Galaxy Nexus, but am willing to take it as long as it works.
you know what? i disagree. try the nexus. Seriously. Just try it for a week. what the worst? you return it for a rezound or you keep it and your happy. see, if i was in your shoes, id try it out because i am a crack flasher

I honestly didn't want or ask for a nexus, but at this point, i am willing to take it. I just want my device to work. I don't know how its possible that 4 out of 4 devices where defects. Its almost as if HTC's quality control went down the toilet.
I love(d) HTC until recently. My Droid Incredible was amazing, but the rezound is a very poorly built device.
Take the Nexus if you want any long living development or lifespan.

NOTE: You will need root access for this to work! I am not responsible for any damages, should they occur (which is highly unlikely, if not impossible, with this tweak), voided warranties, or general pissed-offedness on the part of VZW because you recognize their thievery and won't stand for it. :victory: Steps have been adapted from the original guide below (only one step was changed for ICS):
http://droidrazrroot.com/droid-razr-wifi-tether/how-to-get-free-4g-lte-wifi-tethermobile-hotspot-on-rooted-droid-razr/
In SQLite Editor (or comparable), navigate to:
"Settings Storage : com.motorola.android.providers.settings" (the icon is a red and white hammer and wrench)
then:
"settings.db"
then:
"settings"
then:
_id 79 "entitlement check"
Once there, change "value" field from "1" to "0" (this is the only step different from the original process, where the _id was 150).
Reboot, and you'll have VZW's Mobile Hotspot free of charge!
Cheers!
Pretty sure, but I could be wrong....I heard Verizon is including the hot spot for free now and it just comes out of your data package. I'm not sure though...I have unlimited and use foxfi

First off, kudos for people who dig in and figure out methods for getting their wifi hotspots working, but seriously... FoxFi just plain works... Set your password (especially important if you're on a tiered data plan) and press start. It's that easy.

When you put on the leaked ICS rom, none of the wifi hotspots (including FoxFI) works. Doing the tweak above works nicely and it's always to good to run native software without adding another.
Guys I still can't get hotspot to work. USB the same. It will connect but data is dead. Anyone have any ideas. Guess i I'll try flashing the rom only thing else I can think of. Has to be something Verizon blocked or something messed up my tether when I flashed the rom. I give up.

Good call JuHJoh; that is exactly why I posted this. Third party apps are great and all, but I figured native tethering is a superior solution.

I used FoxFi for a while, but when I tried it on my RAZR with an iPhone to Facetime, it would disconnect after 5 minutes or so and I'd lose service on my phone until I cycled airplane mode (this happened multiple times)... With the stock hotspot app, I've used Facetime for a solid 45 minutes without one hiccup...

If you're on Verizon's new generation of data plans (has been available for about a month), then I think that your statement is correct. However, for those people (like me) on a grandfathered data plan (such as the old unlimited data plan), they still have to pay $30.00/month extra for the privilege of tethering.
FYI... the last day to "keep" a grandfathered data plan was June 28. Those who signed a new 2 year contract in June were able to keep it. Anyone else renewing (or expiring and going month to month) after 6/28/2012 loses the old data plan.
Switching to the new plan would have cost me about $50/month more, but I know other people for whom the new plan ends up saving them about $60/month. It just depends on how you use your device(s).

I'm on stock Verizon OTA 4.0.4 (.211). At no time in the life of my Razr has it ever had a non-stock ROM on it. I had stock GB, but it was rooted. Now I have stock ICS, also rooted.
I edited the database file of Mobile Hotspot as directed. By all accounts it seems to have installed correctly and runs correctly. When I turn on the hotspot, the Razr says that it's running fine. My Windows 7 Pro (64bit) notebook sees the hotspot, but will never connect to it. When it tries to connect, I get: Windows was unable to connect to [my SSID].
Troubleshoot problems.
I have Manage Devices set to "allow all devices." I have Device Limit set to eight (8) devices. I'm using WPA2-PSK security, but I've also tried it open (no security) with the same results.
Any ideas on what is wrong?
Wow.... I HATE to keep beating a dead horse, but...
I have the same grandfathered unlimited plan. I have an unrooted Razr Maxx with the OTA Verizon ICS update. Open FoxFi, set your password, click start hotspot and you're done. It's that simple and it works.

I have been trying to get it to work but when I go into the SQ Editor i do not find _id79 entitlement check Can someone help me? I did have it prev on 2.3.6 under the 150 one but since the OTA update Wifi dont work and I cant find it under the steps listed on this post.
hammer and wrench
There are two "settings storage" under the main list. Make sure you have selected the one with a hammer and wrench as an icon.

Wow.... I HATE to keep beating a dead horse, but...
I have the same grandfathered unlimited plan. I have an unrooted Razr Maxx with the OTA Verizon ICS update. Open FoxFi, set your password, click start hotspot and you're done. It's that simple and it works.

Ditto, ditto, ditto! It's simple. It works. It's free. Geeeze, why are so many people beating dead horses?
I think the people that are beating dead horses are the ones that keep saying "use FoxFi" in a thread about using the default app. FoxFi is great, but this gives another option for people that are having issues with other apps (like I was). Remember, even though we all have RAZRs, we're all using different ROMs, have different versions of software, located in different areas, etc...let alone the fact that every device has minute differences... So I'm happy that you're having success with FoxFi, but not everyone will be in the same boat...
I know the wifi nag can be annoying because of its uselessness and persistence. It seems minor to me considering what wonderful potential this phone has- when I root and rom and all that. But if anyone knows a way to turn is off for stock....
Not at the moment. The trick that worked on the SG3 doesn't work for us.

Are you talking about the icon in notifications, auto on or the notify you when launching apps?

The wifi icon in the notifications. When wifi is turned off the notification stays on always, to let you know- i guess , that wifi is an option for you to use. Like I didn't already know that the phone has wifi and I can use it when I wish. That wifi icon is basically a permanent short cut to wifi settings. I know seems strange, but Im fine to live with it for a bit. It goes away when you turn on wifi.
that was not nice to plaster that there

That's the thing, I never use WiFi. It's about the only thing that stops me from saying the Dinc 4G is perfect out of the box...in my experience so far. It just clutters up a person's notification panel for absolutely no good reason. I hope VZ themselves take it off, but maybe I'm too optimistic Yea, it's a little thing, but it's an odd move that almost seems like a mistake. I mean, what's the difference with a WiFi widget? I use the BlueTooth widget and Hotspot and Brightness widgets, why not put all those up in there too? We should have the option to disenable it, especially if you own the phone outright...and I'm just speaking on a stock level. But I'm also hopeful that some bright person will find a way and salvage that space back from our panel.
it's something I'm personally working on,
I'm quite certain Nitsuj17 is as well
it's quite annoying and every trick known for sense 4 isn't working.
hopefully with time.
I also think HTC messed up BIG time ridding our quick settings.
but those I'm already using and you guys will be too, soon.

Yeah some of the other newer phones are coming with that as well. Think it's the "new thing" for big red.
Right, in the Galaxy SIII forums they hypothesize that this constant notification is an effort to have users data be on WiFi (and off their 4G network) as much as possible. I've tried playing with SQLite Editor and "wifi_networks_available_notification_on" in the settings storage as posts like this describe, but find the database is locked, and any attempts to change that have bricked my Incredible 4G. So I hope someone else figures this out!

Bricked, as in the phone won't turn on or get past the boot screen. The system files are quite fragile, while I managed to get this setting changed, it wouldn't reboot so that I could see if it worked. But its not my first time at the rodeo, and I had TWRP recovery to get me out of that state, and into a new ROM, which is the only way I think this little nuisance gets removed. Nitsuj17's ROM, for example, has this feature on their To-Do list, but it probably isn't their top priority.

So you weren't bricked then. You can't recover a brick which is why it is called that.
As for the nag, everyone wants to get rid of it so it is being looked in to.

Is there something we can flash to join the No Nag Party? Or will a patch be added for UKB?
To anybody that has had time to explore the GPS capabilities with the Mega ; How well does the GPS tracking set initial location, and stay locked in ?

No problem here

That's good to hear. Physics would suggest that a larger device also acts as a better antenna.
I switched from the samsung infuse to this one and as far as I can tell the GPS on this is great that was one of my huge factors when I switched to this. All in all I have noticed it locks on within 5 to 15 seconds not to much longer and not once has it dropped on me even in the most remote of areas.

Sorry to bring this back up... I had no problems with GPS, but the last 2 weeks I have been having terrible issues. It is constantly getting off track when travelling in the car. Losing contact with GPS... especially right before I get to a major turn in the directions. Taking forever to relock. I did a full factory reset and that didn't help.
Anyone with any ideas? I sure do not want to have to pay for insurance replacement.
Perhaps atmospheric anomalies or problems with the GPS system itself ?
Lose GPS when connecting or disconnecting power
I have found that I lose GPS if I connect or disconnect power. This usually happens when I get into the car while playing Ingress and I reconnect the power. It is easy to overcome as I just turn off and on the GPS from the Notification Panel. It is obnoxious however. Can anyone else test to see if this is happening to them?

At this point I have not solved the problem. I did find that clearing the cache will alleviate the problem for a short while but it comes back. I did a support chat with Samsung and that was the first thing they had me do. Also when I loaded the new firmware update, same thing since that cleared the cache too. Samsung said to call back after testing the cleared cache step but I have not gotten around to it yet. I did find that if you have the GPS die that just hitting the GPS off and on from the notification drawer will restart it, but you probably already knew that. Glad to know that I am not the only one experiencing this issue. I am holding out hope that this will be fixed with 4.3 whenever it comes out. Otherwise I will have to do something drastic.
I also find that if I am using my GPS and bluetooth for a period time while my phone is in it's case then the GPS dies. When I remove the phone from the case it is very warm and the GPS does not come back to life from restarting it, but give it a minute to, I assume, cool down out of the case then it starts working.

Well crap. That means that the problems we are having are not software related (unless it is a kernel issue). I was hoping/waiting for the KitKat update to see if that solved but now I don't have that much confidence it will.
Wait, my bad. This rom you have is a stock rom so it could still be a software issue. Oh well I guess I will still wait.

I have i9205, stock 4.2.2. GPS is excellent. Locks on within a few seconds (very, very occasionally takes maybe 20 secs) & I've never lost sync.

So I have been reading on AT&T forums and the Note 3 had the same problem. I have even gone into the AT&T store and tried this, unplugging a Note 3 while it had a GPS lock, and it loses the GPS just like the Note 3. Well the Note 3's Kit Kat update came out and the people reporting the issue before are reporting no issue now with 4.4. So there is hope that Kit Kat will solve this one complaint I have with the Mega.
The GPS on the Sprint Mega sucks complete ass. Will never lock more than 1 out of at least 22 detected satellites. Note 3 is on top and Mega is on the bottom. I'm going to discontinue use of my Mega until Sprint and Samsung fix this garbage.
I posted a few times over the past couple of months complaining of problems with animated gifs and call quality but now another problem as surfaced.
First of all, animated gifs are STILL broken unless I use Textra. The work around is nice but still not a solution.
Second, call quality STILL sucks. I had hoped a replacement would fix the problem (faulty parts) to no avail. I've tried unselecting "Advanced Calling" as well as "Voice Enhancement" with no success, either. Callers are still complaining that I sound a mile away and sometimes sound garbled.
Third, over the past couple of days I've been getting an "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped" error repeatedly. I've tried rebooting with no luck. I googled a solution and everyone says to uninstall Google Play Store's updates - also with no luck.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY PHONE? I swear it's possessed. Is this an LG problem or Verizon? The people at the Verizon store have no idea what's going on and I got no where when I called Verizon, too.
I'm beyond frustrated. Someone please help!
I have the same problem with voice quality. Same exact thing you speak of; mile away from the phone and garbled. I also got a warranty replacement and same problem. I have even done a factory reset, did not install any apps and still have the same issues. It seems to be interment with no known location that I make or receive a call to be the problem. I am just waiting to maybe get an early edge upgrade and jump ship. I use my phone more for talking than texting in a given day. I had the same problem with call quality on the G2, this will be my last LG phone.
I've tried a factory reset, too. I wonder if I ***** enough if they'll let me get a different phone.

Update:
I got the lollipop update this past weekend and over-all my phone is running much smoother. I'm no longer having sound issues while on the phone, nor am I getting google play service errors anymore.
However, I am STILL unable to receive animated gifs. WTF!!!
I'm still here and still having gif issues and call issues if anyone has a suggestion.
I've tried disabling "OK Google" from any screen but that hasn't helped. Friends are still complaining about my call quality to the point where they're now harassing me for not getting an iPhone!
I'm still receiving broken gifs in anything other than Textra.
???????
I gave up on LG a while ago due to the call quality problems I was having. Same complaints as others, people say I sounded under water, far away etc. The net is full of complaints. See the archives. My company gave me an iPhone all unlimited so I'm using that. It works fine but I do prefer Android devices. I know one thing, I will NEVER purchase another LG phone again. And I will never purchase any phone through a 3rd party like Best Buy because it just adds another layer of complication when it comes time to get things fixed.
