Stupid 4G -- 4G connection inactive overnight, can't reactivate in morning

[kijutsu]

Hey all,

Just picked up a Droid 4 -- first 4g device I've owned.

I went to bed last night 4g, was working fine. This morning (more like afternoon) I wake up and the 4g is idle, and it won't reactivate. I actually have to reboot the phone to get 4g to fire off. Is this normal? I am rooted, I froze a good chunk of the useless bloatware that VZ/Moto provided. Messed with the phone all night at work and it was fine. No disconnections even though 4g was reported to be braindead again.

tl:dr -- 4g dead in morning, must reboot phone. Why?

Thanks!

verizon answer: because **** you!

my answer: you may have frozen too much/the wrong piece of bloat. or maybe a smart action is messing with you? did you try toggling airplane mode (should at least save you the reboot)

Ya try a airplane mode toggle and see if that works.

Tried airplane mode cycle.. no go.
tried turning off data.. no go.
I'm not using any smart actions.
thanks for the ideas.

I thawed out all the authenticators, YouTube, Facebook, etc. Ill see what this does in the morning now.

Having the same issue with 3 4g LTE phones in Oklahoma City. How about the thunder? Lol back on point Called verizon about it because i was loosing 3g service and all the kind verizon representative said: "uh... we are having a nationwide outage and that they new about last night. They are working to resolve the issue............silence...." i replied ok i guess?

Just in case ya'll haven't talked to a smart Verizon tech yet: Pull your SIM card out for a few seconds (with the phone OFF!). Airplane mode will not work, rebooting your phone will not work. The issue is with how the D4/Razr chips are handling the authentications after a disconnect. Once they fix the problem at the tower you still need to pull the SIM card to get it to reset it on your phone, or do a master reset.

Sounds like a personal problem. All my phones came back fine without any reset. Wasting time to break out your good old back removal tool, just to pull the sim out for 2 seconds...

I think it was all those stupid authenticators that were screwing with stuff. After I defrosted them, 4G was still active this morning when I woke up. So I'd recommend not freezing the authenticators such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, VZW Authenticators.
