switch it to hspa+, i know in nyc they are working on the network in a few placrs, maybe they are working on lte wherever you are.

Have you checked the APN settings? From that screen tap on Mobile Networks and then Access Point Names.

if the apn was wrong, it wouldnt connect to lte. the same happened to me last night. i called tmobile and customer service told me there are no issues. then i called back and talked to tech support, and they told me that tmo is working on the network. several hiurs later data started fliwing through lte.

try it again on 4.3.. remember, youll need one of the two hybrid radios for android 4.3(.27/.84 or .33/.84) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36400943&postcount=1

if it was working fine when you were going to work, then its probably just a tmobile issue. as i said, last night the same happened to me. i even got my bars to turn blue(sometimes), but no data flow. it started about 9pm, and data started flowing again around 4am.

Did you enter your APN? Or it might be a bad sim card

I was not getting data at all after I got a new micro Sim for my n4. I waited a few hours to let things kick in, but nope.
So I went into setting and turn off and on "data enable", and ON then OFF for "use 2g only" "data roaming"
Then finally enable and disable airplane mode. I think I did it twice and it finally work. I did not mess with the APN.
Basically, I was just trying to refresh it to let it search for data. This isn't a solution, but worth a try.

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.

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.

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.

[Q] Cannot get T-Mobile LTE enabled at all

info about my phone:
baseband: .33 right now
ROM: this one at the moment.
also tried this one, this one, and this one
also, its the new white nexus
what I've done so far:
I've tried this on the .33 baseband.
I then found these two zips (1 and 2) to help automate the process a bit, and use those to try baseband .24 and .27 with no change.
then I tried the instructions on this site
and finally, I am now on this rom I mentioned above, which is supposed to have everything done already...
I Know for a fact my area has LTE, as my roommate gets 4G on his S3 every day.
does anyone see anything I might be doing wrong?
Is your roommate using LTE with T-Mobile?
Nexus 4 only supports LTE band 4.

are you sure that your roommate has an lte enabled sgs3? the tmo lte enabled sgs3 only went on sale on june 5th.
removed
did you update the APN to fast.t-mobile.com? I can't tell in specific so ill just give you a quick run down.
On multiple devices i've done:
1) flash broadband
2) clear caches/factor reset
3) flash AOKP (or CM 10.1)/GAPPS and clear caches
4) flash franco kernel (not necessary but i prefer it) and clear caches.
5) update APNs
6) change to LTE/GSM in phone info settings.

I have done all of this. I have the T-Mobile lte APN with IPv4/IPv6. I have also tried just IPv4 or IPv6.

GS4 data very sporadic

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...
