So long story short, I opened a new line and swapped my hardware to the new line for the TB on my line. After I left BB, I called Verizon to do the swap. They said they couldn't because my SIM card was programmed for the original line and I had to go back to a VZW to get a new provisioned SIM, which I did. It worked when I left, but since late last night, I have no 4G or 3G. Any ideas what the issue could be?
Oh and when the phone goes into sleep mode and I awaken it, the 4G is lit up and then shortly after, no data.

when i first got my phone, the original 4g card wasnt working. turns out is was just bad... they swapped it for a new one and all is well. so i'm assuming u've already tried to reboot and see if that helps. maybe that card is bad as well? hmmm....u should go back to see if they can swap out to another one.
When I was in the store getting mine they were talking about how they'd been having allot of issues activating phone because of the large demand was causing a backup in the switch. There was a guy that walked in about 5 min before me and his would not activate, but then mine activated perfectly. So I guess it was intermittent. Makes me wonder if you got caught up in that backup when you activated the second sim.

Should I go back?
I would do a battery pull (pretty sure you've already done that) and remove and reseat the sim as well (if you haven't already) and if that doesn't work I'd reach out to Cust Service. May be something easily fixable in the system, save ya the time and gas of driving to the store.
maybe try a *228 and press 1 to program .... just a thought, I hate having to deal with customer service
I could be wrong but I thought *228 did not work with these phones because of the sim card.

I'd assume there is some good system in place for phones ordered online and what not.
How did anyone who ordered their phone online activate?

My 4g would drop off randomly and I just assumed it was my area's LTE working out it's kinks. Then after doing the manual 3g only switch, the data was still randomly dropping off, so I was up to try anything out.
I pulled the battery and reseat the Sim like you said and so far so good...mind explaining that?, lol, doesnt make sense to me.
thanks in advance

Improperly seated SIM card? Corrupted memory that a battery pull resets? Good Karma?

Wow, exact same experience I had yesterday. I went in late, like 5:00 PM. I had to wait a while for someone to actually help me, but once I said what phone I wanted it wasn't more than 20 minutes to get the transaction done.
Do NOT do *228.
I had this same problem today when activating my phone. Just call Verizon and they will walk you through getting it activated correctly.
Ironically, on my way to VZW it suddenly started working. LOL. "clog" in the system? I don't know, but it's fast as hell!
I don't have 4G in my area yet but I got the TB anyway. I love it. But the 3G does the same thing, just keeps dropping out.
This keeps happening to me also. Its very Frustrating. What the number to VZW Customer Service?

Just so you know, *228 & *22899 do not work on the tbolt due to sim card. You cannot activate or update that way..

doesnt it still update the other radio? not everything uses lte.
No need for *228 because the sim card now is provisioned with auto PRL for when the phone does enter 3G service
DO NOT EVER ESN SWAP THE PHONE TO A NON 4G
Just like mentioned initially, the sim card and phone are designed for 4G lines only so swapping back to your old 3G device or onto another line is a bad idea.
If your trying to do an alternative upgrade and the store your at is full of morons, ask them if they could possibly do a Customer Provided Equipment Upgrade and then then ring out the phone in their point of sale system with the contract you have signed.
Until VZ Corporate figures out another way to do alternative upgrades, this is the only method I have found to get around this
Yes in many cases (including me) we have found it to take a while for 3G or 4G to stay on. Give it time. dial #832 to prove your phone can make calls and receive text messages. anywhere from 10 to some cases an hour before the phone is in full lock.
If your still having a problem go out for a walk or drive, heard switching between towers can help push the process.
I had the exact same problem as the OP, to fix it Verizon made me go back to best buy, you have to get the phone exchanged for a new one and then they have to call in to setup the new untouched TB on the line you want it on. Believe me it took 3 hours for them to finally fix it, and that's what did it.

I had this problem running miui, cm7, and now I'm on unnammed. I've used all the modems and still nothing helps. I thought unnammed didn't have this problem? To fix it I haft to flip to airplane mode and back, then its fixed.

Could be APN settings. I don't know them off hand, but they are listed in post 2 of the miui thread.
If it happens on multiple ROMs it could also be a bad SIM card. Does it do it on pure stock? If so, try a new SIM card.

This. I haven't seen this issue reported often, and in the past, it's turned out to be an app interfering with the connection. If not, it's likely an apn issue.

I've had the same thing happen to me on other AOSP roms too. On both the SGS2 and my captivate.
I just switched to iscrewed to see if the prob is still there. Its hard to reproduce the bug, but it happens when i go from either:
1. being connected to wifi for a long time and then leaving that area, mobile data doesnt turn back on
2. being in a bad service area for a long time, and then leaving it, mobile data doesnt turn back on.
The worst thing about it is i use google voice for texts, and thats usually how i can tell that it cut out, because i stop getting texts from people.
I love android and google, but honestly if problems like this dont get ironed out, then as long as the next iphone has a decent size screen im probably switching over.
FYI this has occurred when i had the bare minimum installed on my phone, and i never use any ridiculous battery saving apps.

ill try this out tomorrow. just now when checking my email i had to turn on airplane mode and back off to get data to work.
also, i tried the apn settings on the first page of the miui thread and it didnt work. i tried those settings on miui, wiui, cm7, and unnammed but they all made it so that my internet didnt work at all.
so just to clarify, i shouldnt haft to change apn settings and my phone shouldnt be doing this on non stck roms, right? sim is likely the problem? this has gotten really old really quick and its embarrassing when im trying to show my friends something but my phone isnt working.
Your phone should work fine on any ROM you find here. Mine does. I never have to play with APNs, even on miui. I never have to play with airplane mode or power cycle. But, when my SIM was bad I would drop data connectivity all the time. Calls would fail (outbound only), and other glitchy reception issues. Sometimes airplane mode fixed it, sometimes power cycle, sometimes airplane mode on, power cycle, and all times it was temporary. Its worth a try, shouldn't cost anything to get a new SIM. If they give you trouble at the store just tell them you called 611 and they told you to go in for a new one. If that doesn't fix it go warranty route for a new phone.

Those APN settings have worked fine for me on both CM7 and every Sammy ROM I've used. I always have (unrelated) problems with MIUI, so I can't verify that one.
So i went today and got a new SIM. Its been about 9 hours, but no problems yet. Time will tell if it works, but im willing to bet that was the problem, and this is why.
When i went to get my sim, the guy there told me that when ATT started rolling out 4g phones (which includes 3.5g) many employees had trouble with their data switching on and off until they switched their sim cards.
Then i started thinking to myself - I've had the problem about as long as I had my SGS2, and only had the problem with AOSP roms on my captivate - then i made the connection.
When i used a stock, or stock based rom on my captivate, i had no problems. The second i used an international ROM, or an AOSP rom is when i would have the issues. What is the difference between the roms............. The ATT rom doesnt have hspa+ enabled, so using my old "3g" sim card i was fine. No 3.5g to connect to to cause problems. CM and international Roms would use that new 3.5g network and would then screw up.
That is my theory anyway, and if it turns out true it would have solved one of my biggest annoyances with android. (or at least my android experience)
fingers crossed
i too went in and got a new sim. my phone service actually quit working before going in. id get calls and i could hear them but they couldnt hear me. i replaced the sim and all is good. where miui would hang and data would freeze and id haft to redo the airplane mode trick, it would just hang for a sec or 2 and then start downloading again. ive only had it hang 2x now and i think its because it might be switching from hspa to 3g or even wifi.
so for the sim card thing worked. if it fails in the mean time, ill come back to this and give an update. thanks for suggesting it being the sim card cause i wouldnt have thought of that.
I'm another day strong without any problems. I don't know of its due to the new sim or because i switched to a Samsung based rom. I should switch back to test, but I'm loving the speed of icsrewed right now.
If i had to guess i would say it's due to the sim, and if so, there should be a sticky somewhere that says to make sure your not using an older 3g sim card. Would have saved me months of aggravation.
Will report back after a few more days. In a week or so I'll switch back to cm to see if it fixes it there as well.
That's one reason I generally buy my phones at the att store (authorized reseller, but dedicated to att phones). Usually they will price match, and they know things like that. My SIM went bad when I had my captivate. Later when I upgraded to a faux G phone the att rep knew I would need a new SIM, and replaced it then, even though it was only a month old. They also knew the "3G" data plan needed to be converted to a "4G" (still unlimited) plan on their system for me to get data.
You don't get that kind of assistance when you buy at Walmart, online, etc.

Interesting, maybe next time if my data refuses to work I should bug at&t for a new Sim card. I had problems on different roms including stock rom where I had to turn off and on my data or else it will not work. But I think my modem might have played a role. Data seems fine now.

Yup just show up. They shouldn't charge. as long as your an att customer theyll take care of you. I've never heard of anyone paying for a new Sim. If you lose your Sim I've heard of them charging people, but i doubt they'll charge even then.
Hello!
I have a T-mobile Optimus L9 P769BK. I was on software revision G and I rooted it. Regardless, the problem started before I rooted it. My cell signal cuts out completely, the only way I can get it to come back is by rebooting the phone. Does anyone know where (and if) the android OS stores error logs? Also, is anyone else experiencing it?
I hope it's the SIM card and not the phone... We'll see.

It sounds like a bad sim. T-Mobile stores will give you a free one if you tell then that Tech Support told you to get one from the nearest store. Which is exactly what Tech Support will tell you. This way you save time not making the un-necessary call.

Something similar, had it in airplane mode, switched it off while at the gate and made 2 calls successfully. Notice in customs that I don't have a signal and figure maybe because they have jammers there for some reason. Get to airport doors and still no signal, had to call my hotel shuttle on my other phone. I rebooted the phone while on the shuttle and got proper signal again.

This sucks that you are still having the same issue after 4 months. Try flashing one of the Jelly Bean KDZ files for the P769:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107971
If that does not work I am not sure what else to try. It could be a network issue or the phone still has a hardware problem which would require LG to fix.
I don't know what to do anymore. I started getting LoS about a month ago and no matter what ROM, Kernel I use I get it about 2-3 times a day. I have to reboot the phone to get it back. I am on stock RUU now and I am still getting it.
I don't know if it could be Verizon because I live in a big city and I get it randomly plus it only started about a month ago.
I am S-ON.
I am thinking about taking it to Verizon, but haven't decided yet. It they give me another phone, won't that come with the new OTA that is un-rootable? Or is it?
Does anyone know what might cause this LoS?
Chances are if you do take it to verizon to get a replacement the new phone will most likely have the new ota.

It's not the Rom, or the kernel, or the radio. It happens on stock unrooted too. It's a known hardware issue with the DNA. If the SIM card is inserted perfectly you'll never see the error, bit if it's not then it can cause issues. Most of which can be alleviated by reseating the SIM, but the most extreme cases require a new SIM.

I think my problem is even worse because I'm having tons of signal loss during a day and the message preparing SIM card appears all time. I've tried everything, roms, kernel, radios and no luck. What do you mean with resetting SIM? Taking it off back on?
Finally if i switch to 2g mode I've no signal loss at all, so I wouldn't say it is just a sim issue.

By "reseating" the SIM, I mean taking it out and *carefully* putting it back in. I have not tried this personally, but it seems to work for some people.
The most frustrating part about this problem is that it isn't manually reproducible to check if its fixed, so you can't just take the phone into a vzw retailer and show it to them, since theyll just reboot it and think that they've fixed the problem. I would recommend toggling airplane mode on and off though.

Just an update, I reseated the SIM card yesterday (it had three pairs of scratches on the contacts, leading me to believe this is a hardware problem). I have not had this problem since, even with a reboot and a toggle of airplane mode.

Ok so I finally fixed my charging issues with a new charger port, exact same piece as the last one, but now I'm not receiving texts or calls.
I have never rooted this phone, I have only updated it to 4.1.2, and I did a clear cache and factory reset just to make sure it wasn't a buggy app or anything. But still I get no texts or calls, and that's a major issue. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, I made sure every connection on the inside was connected. Someone please help, I can't deal with a phone giving me more issues.

I'd rather not have to deal with AT&T, their customer service has always been a pain for me to use. The network works just fine using my older phone, which is only using 3G, and it works fine on my parents' phones and they also use the Note but they've never had issues with the charge port or the network like I have. Is it just something with the new pcb that has the charge port?
Modem
Try finding the stock modem for your device and flashing it from twrp, I had a bit of a signal issue on mine earlier and that fixed it
If you are using a sim card from another phone, you will need to get a 4G sim card from at&t. Or you can deal with customer service and ask them to reprovision your sim card.

And I'm using my 4G sim in my old phone, the note came with the 4G sim.
It is the usb charge port that you replaced causing the problems. Went through 3 different ones to get one that worked. Double check that you got the grey wire connected properly also. Look for version 3 parts.
