My 3g Icon/Symbol Disappeared - No Internet Connection

My Droid 3 all of sudden has lost the 3g Icon at the top right by the signal icon. I have lost all internet connection UNLESS I use WiFi, but I am paying for 2gb Data Connection, it was working before. Anyone know why I lost the 3g icon? and how can I get my internet connection back? without WiFi, so I may use Internet when i'm not home.

I've done what you said, the 3g icon is still not there in the top right corner. I still have no internet connection, WiFi is turned off. :smileysad:

Yes, i've done some research before posting this topic, My Data Enabled is checked and so is my Background Data. I evened dialed the program number, went to check Data Call Enabled is checked as well. I don't really know what seems to be the problem.

There's no need for a factory reset.

For some reason Verizon's towers are causing lots of phones to lose certain program settings. I don't know if it's because of some upgrades they're pushing out to the towers or what, but you don't need to factory reset to fix it.

NOTE: Once you get into the Program settings, don't mess with anything that's not listed here or you might cause more problems than you fix.

Open your Dialer

type in ##PROGRAM and hit Dial

It will ask you for an SPC password, type in 000000 and hit verify

Under [07 Data Call settings], Check the box next to [Data Call Enabled]

This should get your Data connection working again.
