Im having this same issue, losing data connection over night, and only pulling the battery fixes it... Happened about 7 times in the last 2 weeks..
Grumble. Still having the problem after manually updating to 2.01 - was hoping that might solve it.
Same problem here. At first airplane mode worked but now it doesn't. Gonna check out Verizon.
Here's what worked for me.
Based on the prior posts it looks like often the problem fixes itself, so I don't know if this will work for others. The Airplane Mode procedure didn't work on my droid and the data connection stayed off for 12 hours.
it fixed itself when I turned on the map program, which caused the phone to shut down/crash and restart itself. still no 3G on restart. When I went to map again, the gps turned on for the first time (it hadn't turned on before), a message like 'searching for data connection' appeared, and the 3G then appeared.
Mine went off this morning too.
Tried the cycle off / on,
tried the airplane mode,
tried the battery pull,
all to no avail.
Finally called Verizon help, 1 800 483 7356, (enter your phone #, then hit option 3), took about 10 minutes to get someone, but they PUSHED SOME UPDATE to my phone, then they had me pull the battery again and then everything was fine.
Good luck to anyone else having this problem.
The same problem was happening to my phone. i noticed my 3g icon was gone, although i was still able to use the browser through wifi.
What this means is if you are able to pick up wifi your phone will choose to run on this first instead of the 3g mobile network.
FIRST:go into your settings> wireless & networks>then uncheck your wifi box to turn it off.
NEXT:now that its off stay in your wireless & network options> click mobile neworks>then system slect> make sure its on automatic.
LAST:exit the wireless & network options. but still under settings>click data mananger>data delivery> then make sure all three boxes are checked
1)background data
2)data roaming
3)data enabled.
no extra charges will apply,you are not roaming untill you leave the country.
but this will allow you to run off 3g, and any time you can connect to wifi your phone will rather run on that. i hoped this helps
is the 29.99 the unlimited data plan so it wouldn't affect me if i were at home and using 3g not wifi though not a good idea i wouldn't be wasting money
