Lol we live in Stephens city too (my fiance and i) and we're having the same issue with our g2's. Weirdly enough, it started happening right after we rooted our phones :-/ don't know if that had much to Do with it though... Not sure what it is but there's one thing I Do know it is and that's annoying! I hate having to answer my phone constantly because I'm worried it's an important call only to find out that I probably should have ignored it! Grrr... I don't like being on the phone much either and now I'm forced to take all calls

Settings / Call / Privacy Keeper. What are the settings checked there?
Disabled should show incoming call information.
See if that's the issue and let us know the result.

Mine only does it on 4g lte if i manually switch to 3g it works and it was doing this before i rooted. And the settings in privacy are disabled

Drat. That's all I know to do.
My device is also rooted, and it's working on mine.
Wonder if it's tied specifically to when 4G isn't available.

Idk cause when im in an area with no 4g lte it works just fine. But as soon as 4g lte kicks in it acts up

So i went into the sprint store tonight and was talking with a district manager about my issue and he said that its a known issue and they are working on pushing an update within the next few days, he said that its only for the triband phones. But i think im gonna trade the phone in for the note 3 ole samsung has never given me any problems

[Q] Sound Whenever Connecting to a Cell Network

Hey guys, can't find the answer anywhere but, whenever I connect to a cell network 3g/4g or lose the connection whatever I am doing on the phone sound wise is interrupted by an alert. Any idea how to turn this off?
You're right, there doesn't seem to be a setting for that - unfortunately

I agree on this one. I tried browsing system files in hopes of locating and replacing the file but didn't have any luck. Pretty embarrassing when I'm at work and my pocket starts twinkling repeatedly as my phone tries reconnecting to network.
Well back to Verizon and the fascinate on Thursday. Don't have 4g in MN yet anyhow

Its definitely Touchwiz related, never happened on my Nexus.

Connection Problems

Recently when I restarted my phone, the 3G symbol doesn't show. Switched to edge and it appeared then switched to 3G again but now can't even connect. Just shows the 4 bars with no edge/3g symbol.

Flashed anything recently? Maybe you're just in a dead zone. What rom and modem are you running?
I haven't rooted my phone yet. My reception is great but it has just acted like this lately.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
In that case I'd say its either local interference or perhaps a malfunction with the nearest cell tower. Either way if you haven't rooted yet and it persists, I'd call T-Mobile.
I can now go to edge but still can't to 3g. Thanks. I'll call them.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Also, make sure you're in a 3G area.
http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx
Must be the area as aloneinshadow suggested, unless you have changed settings, such as: use only ........ network, intended for battery save. Sorry I can't be more specific but my current rom does not have that option. I just know that 2.1 has it, if you are on Eclair.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
I'm experiencing the same thing. For the past month or so, my signal bars go from Green to Gray and as a result I lose any connection to Google's services. Such as Gmail, Gtalk, Gvoice etc. Every time I see this, I have to login to Gtalk and the bars go green again. But this fix only lasts from a few minutes to a few hours if I'm lucky. I've been on the Google forum reading about this issue since April on T-Mobile and other carriers, and now since a month ago on Sprint.
Yes that's the problem that I have

I had that problem with my HTC Desire. The problem only appears when there's very little space left in RAM or internal memory...
No this sounds like Google having server issues. I'm seeing the same on my phone.

Do you see this happening with 3G, or wifi as well?
See it more on 3g. You thing it can be the gaaps cuz I get it back every time I go to gtalk

Sprint Cannot Send MMS

The issue has been happening to me recently (as well as my girlfriend, also on Sprint) that we cannot send MMS messages.
My phone is an Epic 4g Touch on AOKP and rooted, hers is a Nexus S 4g running stock.
No idea what is causing the issue, but whenever we try to send an MMS to someone it just sits there saying "Sending..." until it possibly errors out.

You may have to set APN settings manually.Ask your service provider for the settings.
Sprint uses CDMA unless Wimax or LTE is different. Have you called Sprint tech support at all?

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.
