Big problem..... No Data connection at all. How to fix/force connection or Turn on?

[kermitdfrogdroid]

Ok this is really weird. I have full signal (all bars) yet I have no 3G icon/service any more. I have not had a data connection at all today anywhere.... I cant even use Evdo rev for data connection. I usually have full bars and a good 3G connection at my house so I waited until I returned home to be worried, and even on my way back traveling 50 plus miles I did not once get a data connection. Whats up? Is verizon having problems or is it my ROM or THeme causing the problem?

Running on BB0.4 baseband version C_01.3E.03P kernel version 2.6.32-Lowv 1.1gh Chevyno1

Have you tried a battery pull or a factory data reset.

dial *221 (i think thats the number) and make sure your phones activated. (thats option 1) and just in case you should do option 2 as well. (it will update the something that has to do with the towers...)

*228 buddy then folow the instructions. Thats a good idea.

You may also want to check your settings.

Go to Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks and make sure Data Enabled is checked.

Yeah I Did all that except the factory reset. I can make and receive calls perfectly fine as well so this is weird. Ill try another battery pull and do the factory reset....

I have the same issue, I have tried everything too, I dont have enable/disable on my phone under mobile networks. I can only switch from home to auto. been in programming, tried the airplane wifi thing to get it going, showed 3g for a second but it never turned black in the notify bar and then disappeared. ugh.

A similar thing happened to me. Woke up one morning without 3g. I did a factory reset, then went to activate. The call said my activation was successful, but I still didn't get service or 3g. I tried resetting again, and multiple *228 attempts (which were all successful!), still nothing. I ended up getting a warranty replacement, took about a week to get, but the new one activated and worked right away.

Just started having this issue, apparently Droid doesn't do data....

But hey maybe now Verizon will finally get the idea and send me a DIFFERENT phone for once haha

 

[jimmyco2008]

Well after a FEW factory resets, 3G is stable.... We'll see how long it lasts though. I would hate to have to erase my phone's data every time 3G refuses to work.

 

[ilikemoneygreen]

Are you rooted? Do you use any battery saving apps?

 

[jimmyco2008]

If you're talking to me, nope. But I solved the prob, the automatic programming (*22899) didn't fix a setting that was keeping 3G from working.

 

[Soladzur]

Did anybody of you solve this issue?

 

[me4droid]

How did you solve issue. I seem to have an intermittant data issue. My backup asst keeps telling me it didn't back up (set for middle of night) because network unavailable. Also when someone sends me a picture in a text message it doesn't show up most of the time. If I turn off/turn on the phone then the data seems to work again. I have no idea when/why it shuts down and don't realize it has until I try to do something with data.

Suggestions, or should I get a new phone (mine's only less than 1 month old-D2G).
