I work for Verizon Wireless, I own the Verizon Wireless R800x CDMA version of the phone...
Someone want to figure this out? Internet works, Phone calls work, Texting works, my lock screen just looks like this

Dont 4G enabled phones require a SIM on Verizon?

this is a 3g phone
I am aware, but its just a possibility. The only other conclusions I can come up with is a technical glitch, or a co-worker prank.
even if you reboot the phone? Looks like something went haywire? Or someone who really knows their **** is playing a prank on you

No one has touched my phone except me. I went to a local fairgrounds had questionable service and it popped up. been there since i got home, restarting the phone now lets see what it says.
Gone after a reboot, just strange...
usually reboot is required when your phone loses signal then has trouble reconnecting to the network.
It has happened numerous times on other android devices I have used and usually when I leave the coverage area and either the phone or the android system has trouble refreshing the network status.
I am surprised you didn't reboot it before you posted on here

I rebooted it when I was still at the fairgrounds with the touchy signal, still had it, wanted it to stay when i got home to post the screen shot since i need to have it plugged in to get a screenshot from the phone.
and the phone still worked 100% so it didnt bother me. was just odd... makes me wonder that when the R800x is finally rooted if it will become a world phone.
The GSM and CDMA varients share a common software foundation which has historically been focused on GSM devices. It doesn't surprise me that your software glitched and displayed the screen. If you see this again, please send me a PM so I can have SE engineers take a look at it.

^This!
Also there are still a few diagnostic menus that feature the ability to turn on and off the GSM radio, which would check for the SIM slot to be populated. Now, if the GSM radio is actually still there on top of having the CDMA radio, that would be awesome, but I'm not expecting that, and believe that it is probably a software glitch arising from a similar foundation of code.

Unfortunately, I didn't read a warning thread about *not* using the Sony Update Service until after I'd started the service for my X1a.
I've been hooked up to the USB with coloured bars for about five minutes, with no progress being noted and nothing changing on the Update Service screen.
Am I in trouble here, or does it just take a while?
12 minutes and no changes.

I guess this is the absolutely first time you connected the usbcable while the phone is in bootloader?
Did an automatic driver install occur when you connected the cable?

It's the first time I've done it with an X1, or any Sony. I've flashed many Synergy and WinMo Motorolas.

I think it must've used the drivers already installed. I heard the connection and detection routines.
7:29 PM to 8:13 PM...that's a long time.
Antivirus and firewall is turned off.

If you didn't see any change at all since you connected the phone I think it's safe to disconnect it and reboot the phone.
This has happened to me, the first time I tried the service.
But If it stopped midway in flashing It's not good..
I'm no pro but as long as the bootloader is intact you should be able to reflash the phone even if the first flash didn't go well and the phone wont boot.
Maybe someone more experienced can shed some light on this...
and while you wait you can search the ROM area for answers.
Xperia ROM Development
Re-started it and everything went well.
Visibly snappier, compared to the way it was behaving before.
Thanks for the commiseration.

No problem, I'm just glad I could show some support in this obvious dark hour...
lol, mine is stuck on the forever detecting phone as well. I might just give up, and use my home computer, which is the one I use to flash phones anyway.
my work computer is vista.
Mine is stuck 'identifying' For 15 minutes now... Someone with the same problem?
vista seems to have probs always..... xp works ok ..
I observed the same experience as well. first attempt will always appear hang at the bootloader, w/o any activities (which is a blessing in disguise, imagine stuck halfway into flashing). Disconnecting & connecting again do the trick. I'm on Vista...
I realize that SEUS is "safer" in terms of support, but why don't you just download the image file you need and flash from the memory card?
i have been getting https://4gdaypass.sprint.com since i can remember. when i connect to 4g service, get an IP, and then try to get to the internet such as espn.com. once i type espn.com in the browser, i am redirected to the 4gdaypass screen to sign up for 4g service even though i have the service as part of my account.
after chatting w/a sprint rep for 1 hr and doing ##3282# and doing a restore, then updating profile and prl (which i had done many times before chatting w/them); i was instructed to call 1-888-211-4727 for technical support. i do so, and the CS tries to blow smoke tell me there is an outage. i firmly explain that i have another evo that is currently connected to 4g and is able to connect to espn.com w/o getting the 4gdaypass screen. i firmly tell him again my issue and he decided to change his demeanor and help me. finally he directed me to call 8886496711 for the 4g day pass support.
talked to a new gentleman there that new exactly what i was getting and why, but he couldnt do anything about it and had to get me over to another group. this guy says that even though I connect to 4g and get an ip, 4g is missing from my account and that this other group needs to add the service.
talked to 8882114727 opt 2, 4, 4, 2 (back to orginal tech support) and was placed on hold for at least 15min (maybe more) while they researched. this lady tells me again there is an outage and that is why i am getting the 4gdaypass screen. again, i told her that i understand there is an outage, but my issue has been going on since i can remember. i asked her if i had all the needed option on my phone number to connect me to 4g because the previous guy said that i am missing something with 4g. she said everything is there to connect to 4g. she got me to a manager w/o me asking. was on hold for another 15min or more to talk with a manager.
talked to an escalation manager and he had no idea what i was talking about and refused to open a trouble ticket. he did however give me advanced tech support number of 8777358405.
i contacted advanced support 8777358405 and the lady i talked to knew exactly what i was talking about and agreed with me that it had nothing to do with the outage, but with the phone itself. she put in a trouble ticket explaining the issue and adviced me to take my phone to the store to see if they can authorize a advanced exchange. i also found out to always get the insurance for the phone because if you dont, and you take your phone into the store for service, the store will charge you $35 just to look at the phone.
so, i have a paper to right this afternoon and class tomorrow, so i will take my phone into the store sat and see what they say.

sounds like they really jacked you around ! i am on my 3rd evo in less than 3 weeks. i had one FULLY BRICK in the store just by turning the 4g on lol. and the other would just boot loop after boot loop. and this was without even rooting them. but this 3rd one i have had for 4 months no problems. just take it in and they will switch it out, or thats what they did for me no questions asked. good luck

thanks. did you have to pay the insurance fee for a new one?
I'm not sure if this is a glitch or not. I "think" my signal is fine. WiFi always shows
on, even if I'm not home. I always have a wifi turned on though, just don't always have a signal obviously. My mobile network signal has gaps in it where I would assume it always be green or tan or whatever. My phone seems fine, unless of course ppl are calling me and I'm not realizing it. Any ideas. Here is a pic.

Unplugged my phone an hour ago, have been using it on wifi the whole time, but WTF at mobile signal ??

Looks like signal drop outs for X periods, or the device is trying to search for it.

Wouldn't those times show up in red? It's almost like airplane mode in and out, without effecting wifi. I'm wondering if it is not a glitch though. Bc time on for cell stand by is the SAME as time on battery. And time without a signal is 0%. Would that not mean that is a glitch then in the green bar. Also, before this started I would get green and yellow/gray bars in the status thing. Now it's green or nothing.
Signal drop out don't show up in red for me, - but it would seem a weird anomaly for sure.
Hmmm...I think it's fair to say this must be a VERY rare issue.
Not exactly the same issue, but similar sort of thing. Shows as no signal in known good areas, or shows as having signal but often won't send or receive txts or calls. Oddly enough, when signal cannot be found the data will often still work.
The phone is branded to my carrier so there should be no provider issues. Sim card has been swapped, factory resets done and even had the handset exchanged for another S5 - still no change. It's pretty frustrating to not know if you can use your phone as a phone.
Is anyone else having this issue or is it time to go back to my N4?
For some reason the wifi on my phone is acting strangely, it just started doing so a few days ago but before that it was all fine. Basically what is happening is that my wifi will be really slow to the point of not connecting to websites (Connection timed out etc.) however the wifi starts to work if I turn it off and then back on, but then stops. I really don't want to be doing that every 5 seconds. It used to be fine and then suddenly it started being weird. So basically my phone is quite useless now since I use my phone for everything (I log into my google account with my phone, I need to use the steam app on my phone and other important stuff). The wifi on all my other devices is fine like usual. Bluetooth also says that the bluetooth address is unavailable but I don't use bluetooth so it doesn't affect me but I think it's also to do with my problem.
Currently using Sokkoban's Deodexed ROM.
What I've tried doing:
Removed PurePerformancesX.
Cleared Cache.
Reflashed the ROM.
Flashed to the Official Lollipop update.
Flashed to the Official Marshmallow update.
Rebooted my router.
Reset my router.
Anything else to do?

I've heard about this, it seems it's a common problem among P8 lite users.

It sounds like it could be a faulty wireless card in the phone or the drivers bugged out. Blimin' shame that your warranty is void cause I am pretty sure they would have to fix that for you.
I actually had a very similar thing happen to my old iPhone 4s, wireless just completely died in the end. No regrets about that though, it brought me to android.
Really though, sorry to see you are having trouble with this and I really hope someone here can help you more.

I decided to remove the back cover of my phone to see what the problem could be, but then my screwdriver was too big to open any further. I still don't know where the WiFi + BT antennas are. And since TalkTalk are cool, they said that my warranty lasts as long as I carry on paying my contracts, which is good. However since I'm just out of the 28 day return window I'll need to give them a call so that Carphone Warehouse can repair it for me for free.

Issiue:
My phone gets H/H+/3G mobile data so hardly.
Even if I inside a building it only gets "Edge" signal or non!
In a building with same phone and gsm op. others get 3G etc. but mine phone gets Edge.
I set APN, wipe cache, reboot etc.. Nothing changed.
PS: If I change WCDMA/GSM(auto) to Just WCDMA, I get H+,3G sometimes in a building but it turns to no service or no data at frequent intervals. Not stable to use..
Reads like you have damaged a component .

Which component you think?
I have seen reports where people used a cheap third-party USB replacement and the phone started to suffer charging, sync, and/or signal issues.
If the phone connects at 3g before the part change, install the old part and see what happens.

I don't have the old damaged part.
Otherwise phone connect the 3G but not everywhere. It doesn't connect in a building but connects out of the building or connects very normally at popular squares.
Is the signal worse with the new part? If it is, maybe buy another one and try? I got cheap one from Aliexpress and it worked very well for a Note 3 n900w8.

Signal is the same like first time no problem.
Simply it doesn't connect 3G or H/H+ in a building connect EDGE.
I guess the only way to know for sure would be to buy another replacement.
Anyone thinkin something else?
Thinking aerial .
