Nexus 4 connection

Hey guys, I was just wondering if someone could help me. I've got my Nexus 4 on EE UK. My signal bars stay blue for about an hour or so meaning that its connected to the Google servers. But then they go grey and all my Facebook notifications, gmail and talk don't come through. Here's the odd part.....if I put the handset in air plane mode and turn it back on it reconnects! Anybody got any ideas????

I have the same problem, with wi-fi or mobile connection. Can't seem to find a solution. However, sometimes it just magically activates itself again and I get a load of missed messages/e-mail etc.

Yup, exactly the same. Not so much with WiFi tho. I did read that if you didn't sign in with your gmail account on first boot then u need to reset your entire handset and sign in again from the very start using the gmail account. Some say it works others say it doesn't.

I had the same problem what worked for me was remaking the APN. I was using the default APN and it was giving me problems but after making my own with the same stuff it fixed it.

Well, it's also related to wifi, so I don't know it that'll fix it. But I added my APN myself, just to make sure. Thanks.

Still the same. Loses connections in deep sleep & I get grey bars that switch to blue when I activate the device.

Surely there's a fix for it. Must b. Wonder if manual APN settings would fix it.

Similar problem here - Am on T-mobile UK but the carrier hasn't changed to EE like it had on my previous phone (anybody else like this?)
But yeah, have no issues over wifi but occasionally mobile data stops working and the bars go grey; when activating data connection it sometimes takes quite a while for them to turn blue.
Anybody managed to rectify the issue with APN settings?

Anyone ever figure this out? Switching to airplane mode helps me but this sucks.

Duplicate Text Messages

Hi all,
I just got a Nexus 4 and am using a prepaid T-Mobile Sim with the 100 minutes unlimited data/messaging plan. Everything is working great except I am receiving duplicate text messages most of the time someone messages me. I was wondering if there is an APN setting or something else I can do to try and fix this annoyance. Was wondering if anyone else was having this issue.
Thanks.

My friend had this same issue.
The way we fixed it was power off the phone, take out the sim, power back up, leave the phone for 5 min, and then power back off.
Popped the sim back in and it was fixed.
When I see them next I'll ask to check their APN to make sure.
Hope this works for you.

Is it from people who are on various networks? Sounds like it could be a problem on their end. Every once in a while I'll get duplicate texts from people on MetroPCS, or Sprint if their networks are on the fritz. So try to have people from different networks text you and see if you still have the problem,

Seems to happening when Verizon users are sending messages to me.

Same problem with T-Mobile germany... Senders are in different networks. I am receiving single messages up to 8 times. This happened on the i9250 nexus before, too. Same number, different sim card, different phone. Maybe related to cyanogenmod 10.0/10.1, as i never experienced that issue in stock. (To be honest, i was never long in stock Rom). The Problem occurs most times Ehen the phone is rebooted, or comes out of flight mode.
Which roms are you using ?

Just stock everything at the moment.

In general it's usually because of the sending party. Did you port your number also as that does cause it most of the time?

Nope, i just got a new sim card from my provider. I am a t-mobile customer for 14 years now, and never ported that number to another carrier.

Not sure if you have noticed this, but it seems to happen when I briefly lose service. When I get signal back I have noticed that is when I am getting the duplicates. I've only been on T-Mobile for a few days after I ported my number from Verizon.

AW: Duplicate Text Messages
I made a support ticket @t-mobile germany. They told me, that this must be a bigger problem related to the network itself. The next time it happens they want me to call them and provide time of failure and number of sender to them.
But, it didn't happen again, yet.

How do you fix it? I ported my number from verizon but it just recently started happening (maybe the last few weeks),. Using PA, most updated version.

Data drop

Hi all,
I'm really happy with my nexus 4 that I brought in November, but every day when i go out and i start using the 3G connection I'm having data drop.... That happens always, if I wanna check Facebook or just using Internet I have to try many times to get the data to work, I have tried stock kernel and now I'm on Franco kernel but seems that nothing works.
So are you having data drops issue? I'm thinking of sending my telephone back for warranty but I don't know if it is just me or if this is happening to all you?
Thx

I've been having the same issue. Are you on AT&T? I had them update my IMEI today and the old Cingular APN works consistently but they messed up my data plan, so I'll have to check back tomorrow when I'm back on the HSPA+ APN.

Nop, I brought it in USA trough google play store but I'm living in France I'm on Orange, but I don't know if it's something with the hardware because I already try 2 different companies.

Mms sending but not receiving straight talk t-mobile

Just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if anyone has the fix for it. Maybe the apn settings are wrong with my simcard.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Make sure you have the correct APN settings for your carrier.

That's what I'm trying to find

It came setup out of the box, but the only person I can get pics FROM is someone else on T-Mobile networks also.

Search Google for TMobile or StraightTalk APN depending on the carrier you're using.

T-Mobile APN?

I just got this thing and it's an amazing phone. I absolutely love it. But for the first time after having it for a few days, I decided to go on a lengthy drive only to realize that MY PHONE DOESN'T GET DATA!!!! I messed with the APN settings once I got back and got it to work with 3G, but I had no luck getting 4G LTE. I can get 4G LTE on my other phones, but was wondering if others have experience similar issues, and what have you guys done to resolve them.
Thanks

nope....no issue where i live.....

Yeah, it's just my area. I used the APN that I was using on my nexus 5 and am now getting data. It appears to be pretty similar to the stock one, so I'm confused as to why that one wasn't working for me.
