Yeah. This seems to be a problem new to me over the last week or two. I noticed the trend where it's showing 4GLte and 2 or more bars, but that stuff turns white. Sometimes it flicks back to blue and it might work for a minute or not at all before it flicks back to white and no data seems to move.
I live in Seattle and it was having data issues all around town. Now I'm visiting my dead near Chicago and it is happening all over this town too. I've been trying to carefully track down how to fix this problem and it appears that rebooting the phone is the fastest way to get data back and so far, nothing else works and rebooting restores data for "a while" (10 minutes to 2 hours.) I'm pretty sure that the 20 times this has happened in the last 4 days, various things have seemed to work but maybe it was just a coincidence.
I'm wondering why everyone is obsessed that it's a bad SIM card. It seems like some people are on their 4th phone or on their 7th SIM card and still have this issue.
Not sure what to do with this issue, otherwise I'm happy with the features of the phone.
I am on my original Maxx pusrchased in early February and this is the first time my SIM card has been changed, until recently my phone has functioned perfectly. I am pretty sure Verizon is aware of this problem. It just seemed to easy to get the solution to my problem. Normally you call tech support and they walk you through a bunch of worthless steps to try different things and then eventually end up ordering you a refurb. This time as soon as I explained my problem the guy said it sounds like it's one of two things either the phone is bad or your SIM card is bad, he then asked me to give him my PRL number from my phone. After that he recomended that I try a new SIM card since my phone was working perfectly other than the new data drop problem. Since replacing the SIM card on Sunday afternoon my phone has been working perfectly again.
