Hi, my nexus 4 keeps loosing signal. I cut my own sim and put it in and it connects. It shows full bars and i am able to use data, talk and text. It then randomly drops signal, and then picks it up again. It keeps on doing that at home/outside. Not sure if there is something wrong with my sim, the way I cut it or if it is a defect. I'm really hoping its not a defect.
I have the same problem. I cut mine also.

Do you suspect it to be a hardware issue?

hi, the problem with my nexus 4 is the next: If I leave the nexus for 20 minutes blocked (to enter into deep sleep) when unlocking the screen, the connection becomes gray for several seconds (gtalk is disconnected) and then turns blue. Is this normal?
up!
Welcome to the nexus 4, annoying isn't it.

It happens to me sometimes. But not when I am in a area with high signal. Try flashing a radio that works for you maybe it will help your problem.
Good luck
So this is normal? many users say nexus 4 have also noticed that leaving the device at rest 20 minutes total, to unlock the signal went from blue to gray and within seconds came again blue.
I ordered another device and both had the same behavior

Here's your answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072930
In short wait for next update.
this is my problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qY94zToCj0&feature=player_embedded

It's the same issue as I linked only on your end its the mobile data that conflict, probably due to provider.
You should wait for the next update and see if it gets fixed.
Meanwhile you can try sims from other providers or different wifif networks to see if the issue persists everywhere.
I think i answered you in a spanish forum
Anyways, have you tried this?

I recently bought my wife a nexus 4 abs she's been having a problem where when she disconnects from wifi her mobile network won't connect, it says 4g but it's greyed out. I know she should still have connection but she doesn't, everything just times out. Only thing that fixed it was a reboot, anyone else experience this issue? And she's on stock rom, not rooted.

No worries it'll reconnect to the servers.

This only happens to me when my WiFi connection decides to disconnect! Both my Service and WiFi gray out when my WiFi does not work. I have a terrible at&t internet service! But other than that it works properly.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Does it just never turn blue after turning off wifi? Its supposed to turn off mobile data when wifi is on to save battery. It could just be an issue with your carrier
Well like I said a reboot does fix it, from what I understand it's just when disconnecting from wifi. The time interval was about 10 minutes and her mobile data still wasn't connected. We're on tmobile btw. I thought it might just be an n4 issue, I don't experience that issue on my one.

Im using T-Mobile and yesterday I got that empty service bars on the notification and it could only make emergency calls. Happens from time to time didn't think anything of it but I left the house and I'm still not getting any service. I was running paranoid android June 6 build so I tried switching ROMs and kernels but still no signal . of course I took out sim and rebooted the phone. I even put my sim on another phone and it work got signal and put there sim in my phone and wouldn't get any signal either. I ran out of options any help is greatly appreciated

This happened on my first nexus 4. Nothing fixed it. Nothing. Hopefully your situation is different. If nothing works, flash back to stock and start the RMA process. Google said it was a hardware failure with mine by the way.

Did your happen when you first got it or after you had it for awhile? And what's the RMA process

The periodic loss of signal was there since day. I still have it on my new one. Others do as well, but one day it went out and never came back on. I believe it was a different issue than just random signal loss. Google said hardware failed in it. You have to contact Google to start an RMA. I'm also not implying that your signal won't come back on at some time either. Personally I would flash everything back to stock. Go to a t mobile store and get a new Sim card and if no signal still then contact Google

Under settings, then data, then mobile networks, then to network operators.
let it search, even if it doesn't find anything or errors.
Then click choose automatically.
If you frequently travel out of 3g/H areas, you need that checked or the phone won't roam from tower to tower. you will get no signal.
Also, if that don't work, you can try clicking on a network it finds, and let it register, your signal may come back.
This is a common problem with those that don't live in big cities or near full strength 3g/h areas.
The phone doesn't handle tower handoffs well. Crappy LG modems.

Most likely wouldn't but it would be one more "possible" problem eliminated.

I'm currently going through the RMA process over virtually the exact same issue. However, I've been running franco's nightlies lately and up until he restored the HSIC/wifi stuff to stock in r154 I was actually experiencing less data drops and rapid tower swapping (constantly going from 3g to H and back rendering consistent data inoperable). *shrug* I feel as if it's something in the hardware on the cusp of failing because sometimes it does it more and sometimes it does it less. It's rather weird. I'm also on T-mobile towers through an MVNO (Straight Talk).
I just cancelled and switched to ATT go phone.
I have RMA'd 2 devices, tried multpie new simcards, relflashed, tried new radios, and nothing worked.
It no longer switches from 3g to H on ATT network.
It stays in H constantly.
Also, no more signal drops or loss of signal.
I have 100% signal all the time now.
The data is a little more expensive, but worth it for the coverage so far.
It's not your phone, it's the tmobile network.
My s4 data is bad to kick off and back on. It has done had since I first got it. I have 3_g at home and it's very solid signal, I never lose signal in fact i keep 4-5 bars but data kicks in and out all of the time. My old phone was very solid never lost data signal ever. I have tried the 3 different radios and several ROMs but they all do the same thing? It doesn't show roming and it looks to be on sprint solid. I know I've read about losing data due to flashing but mine works fine then it doesn't work, off and on, off and on all of the time... Rebooting sometimes brings it back, switching radio off will sometimes too but sometimes I just have to walk away for 10-30 min and it'll pop back up... any ideas?

I will assume that you have updated PRL and profile. If not, do so. If that does not solve the issue, call Sprint to see if thry are working on towers in your area.
Yes I did update profile/prl as well. I have a second phone we keep in the house (as my house phone) but it keeps data signal just fine never drops either. I haven't called Sprint I may try that but I really think its buggy firmware

I called Sprint, wasted 10min of my life lol. But I set force cdma, we'll see how that goes. No lte here anyway.. in fact 2g some of the time.. gotta love sprints data (shoot me)
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Hope the problem works itself out. One last suggestion would be a factory reset (that is if you didnt wipe data through rom flashes). Doing so can potentially fix a lot of different isses....maybe this as well. Good luck

Force cdma seems to have fixed it. I get lte in town but I live and work outside of town. Guess it was always getting stuck between the two...

Your signal bars reflect your voice signal not data. Download this for real info on what your phone is doing

Is connection optimizer turned on or off? Try off
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Hi, I've had my nexus 4 for about a month now, when I got the phone I automatically updated to 4.3.
Since the very first day I've had it, it has kept dropping internet connection randomly multiple times everyday? The signal bars will go from blue to grey and stay like that until I either reboot the phone or turn on airplane mode then turn back off again.
Its becoming a constant hassle trying to use the internet because it keeps hanging.
Has anyone else come across this problem? If so what did you do to fix it?
Thanks alot
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Do you mean WiFi or carrier data? And how good is your carrier signal? You can try flashing a different baseband.
For WiFi, try turning off Wifi Optimization.
Its the carrier data that keeps dropping, I also get full bars most of the time.

Its surely a baseband problem..nothing to worry..
Just try different basebands and test them and see what works for you,but for that you need to be rooted..
Before you asking or creating a new thread refer to efrants thread for unlocking and rooting.:good:
