I completed the lollipop update a few days ago. I work in a building with very poor network signal coverage and I regularly lose connection when I walk in. Prior to the update, when I needed connection I would simply walk to the lobby, wait a few seconds and have connection to the mobile network quickly re-established. Since the update, the connection to the mobile network is never re-established. I've waited 30 minutes, driving home in areas with very good signal coverage and the network connection never comes back. If I re-start the phone the connection comes right up. This doesn't affect Wi-Fi, bluetooth or the GPS signal, seemingly just the CDMA/LTE radio.
Any ideas?

We definitely want you to be able to have service... and keep it. I would recommend trying either one of these: 1) trying to swap out the sim card to see if you notice a difference. You can stop by a VZW store location to have swapped out or we can always mail one out to you. And then 2) if the same, I would make sure your device is backed up and perform a factory reset: http://vz.to/1Hiftn1
Keep us posted if you notice any differences.

First, let me thank you for taking an interest in my problem. I have tried the method you suggested (reboot the sim connection) twice to no avail - the problem continues to occur. I kept the SIM card out for 10 minutes the second time just to be sure. I also have tried switching to airplane mode and back a few times in an effort to "re-initialize" the network connection but that does not work either. The only method to re-establish connectivity that I've found is to restart the phone. As I said in the posting, WiFi, Bluetooth and the GPS all work fine - it seems to be just the CMDA/LTE radio. I've also tried switching from Global to CDMA/LTE in the mobile network menu - that does not seem to matter.
Could it be a problem with the SIM card?
