Losing Data Connection Since GB Update

I haven't seen many posts about this, but I've been having a lot more trouble with my data connection than I did before the update. It doesn't just drop from 4G to 3G, or 1x, it just goes away. I can do the usual tricks, turn Mobile connection off and on, go to Airplane mode and usually get it to restart, but sometimes the only thing that works is to restart the phone. Even after I get it back, I eventually lose the data connection again and have to start jumping through hoops again to get it back. This is happening in places where I don't usually have any problems. I thought it might be Verizon working on the network in this area, but it started right after the update.

Anyone else having problems with the data connection since the update?

There was a post of Verizon loosing data connection because of issues with the 3G towers, sounds like you may be experiancing the same issue I reported... Alos check Settings / Wireless and Network / Mobile Network / Enable always on mobile data... Try disabling and reboot and see if this helps, if not then activate the option again.. I have had this work for me in the past, it almost seems that the command was backwards at times.

I saw the post about the 3G towers, but I wasn't sure if that would also cause the overall data connection to drop out. I always have Enable always-on mobile data on. I'll try disabling it and rebooting to see that helps. Thanks.

That's the issue that happens with the data issue, it made connection completely drop.

You can also try disabling the power manager under Settings / Power / Enable Power Manager... Uncheck..

I'm still having random issues with it too. The other day the weather app got stuck on a daytime temp and it was night and dark out side. The weather app said it was sunny and hot. I was in the Verizon store while it was happening and the Verizon rep couldn't even fix the issue. I think I'm going to hold out for the new HTC Vigor or whatever its going to be called. Since GB is on it from the start, it might run better.

I have this problem every since I got my 4g samsung charge phone even changed it out once. Every time I have called into verzion they tell me they have not heard of this what's up Verzion. It's happening to more then one make of phone so what you going to do!?

Welcome to the forums...... Don't know if you were just cruising different forums but you posted to the HTC Thunderbolt.

No problem if you wanted to post here, just wanted you to know it was in this one if you meant it to be posted in the Droid Charge one.
