Are you in a strong 4g area? Over the past few weeks I've had the note 2 I have yet for it to drop to 3g. If it keeps up go to the vzw store and get a new one.

Eh two to three bars. Its happened like twice. Im gonna keep my eye on it. I got a 30 day exchange windows through best buyb

Losing data or poor data connection! Help!

Is anyone in the Florida area or anywhere seem to be losing data connection?. I'll try to go on this app, or google. The 4g symbol is there but no orange lines extending from it. I have to keep closing applications and try again. The loading bar will be there and then stop and nothing. Happens alot. and then starts working again.

Happens from time to time in the Tampa area as well in Orlando area. Seems to happen most often when switching from WiFi to cell data. It comes back in under 10 seconds though once it gets a signal.
Mine happens most of the time on 4g data..

Tampa your at least on lte. I'm on just 4g.. But the 4g symbol is there. Just at times when trying to connect, the yellow data lines do not show up. And have to force close and restart. I was told by an att Rep at the store that the data signal where I live is not great. That's why. Wish I had lte.

Problems connecting to internet at times! Really PISSED! Help!

Can anybody tell me why sometimes when trying to connect to the web or Facebook or anything that uses the internet, why sometimes the 4g symbol just stays there with no transmission lines being sent and receiving? I know when trying to connect the orange lines go in and out of 4g. I will be in the same spot with my fiance. She has an IPhone 4s with Att. I hit the Facebook and or the web at the same time on her phone. Hers connects right away. Mine will just sit there and load and load. Nothing being transmitted. Then after about 30 secs it connects. I don't understand. At times it will work and other times. It seems to be getting worse. I called at&t and they are going to send me a replacement phone not through insurance. But from samsung. Does anybody else experiencing problems like this before. I will have to sit there and wait for my phone to connect while my fiance is already surfing. This will happen in different spots. But whenever mind is not connect my fiance's iphone 4 s connect with no problem. this is my second Note doing the same thing. Is this how its supposed to work?
By the way I have already done hard reset clear cache and everything possible

You on tmo or att? Happens to me with tmo but I assume just cause I'm using a hacked radio.

3g keeps dropping????

I have noticed my 3g keeps dropping every once in a while. Is this a bug or do I need to change some setting. My dinc4g is still stock just to let you know.

havent personally seen any data drops (either in lte areas or 3g only)
if its something that persists and is unusual for your area id try for an exchange w/ vzw

Are you in bad signal area? Sometimes it gets confused tries to go between 4g and 3g.

I am in 3g at the moment. But several towns around me within a 8 to 10 mile radius has 4g. We should have 4g soon. I also have noticed when I wake my phone up sometimes my 3g is gone and then comes back.

Anyone have serious data issues the last couple days?

The last couple days I can't keep a data connection. Jumps from 1x to 3g to 4g constantly and sometimes nothing. I have flashed 4 different radios to rule that out and its still doing it. I'm on gb 2.1
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Yes. It seems to have stopped today. I think its just Verizon. I tried everything to fix it seems like just network trouble with the increased usage last couple weeks. Issues have gone now though. I would just wait it out. Switch to rev A off of ehrpd if its bugging u. Don't forget to turn it back tho

I had data issues with liquid ice for a few days too and switched to cm7 with the same result. I am now running nusense and data is better than ever.

I think its a region issue. I have been running liquid ics rom since it came out and have had data issues dropping and going gray several times a day no matter what radio( usally 5 -10 times a day ) . This was all in Atlanta area where I live. I have been in Lexington for 4 days now on business and I have not dropped data once. !!!!!
Agreed

That is because of the ril. That happens to me and I live in Texas. When I switched to nusense data is much more consistent.

Unreliable LTE connection

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

I know in my area, theyre constantly turning on and off the towers as theyre making the transition to bigger and better speeds.
Hmm.
Now my 3g connection is gone, and I keep getting refreshing sim message pop up

Sounds defective to me. This phone has a stellar LTE radio, definitely up there with the Note 2.

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.

I'm having same issue as OP. It's driving me absolutely nuts! The only time I got 4g for a few seconds was while doing hands free activation but once the phone auto reboot LTE was gone again!

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??
