Help Lost 3g/data

jonhoglund · Mar 18, 2011

Somewhere between home and work this morning my 3G/data stopped working..I've got bars of signal, but no 3G. I checked other people at work who have droids/2's and they're are fine, so it's not a local network issue. Also I checking my "Wireless&Networks" settings and for some reason the "Mobile Network" is stuck/grey-ed out as "Turning on...." i'm guesing this is an idication of the problem but don't know how to fix it.

Please HELP!!

Thanks in advance

Easiest way it to enable then disable Airplane Mode. That should fix it.

Either that or try a reboot.

I forgot to mention i did try that, still no data/3G/internet. Also, figured i'd test out sending a text, and that doesn't work. So I've tried turning on and off airplane mode from holding the power button, also fromt he same menu, i tried turning off and on the mobile network, and nothing.

thanks though felix

Ok, actually just got an email from my mom, who is also on my account, and she said that none of the phones on our account had been working this morning and that she had placed a call to VZW....odd....I now have 1x where i usually have 3G....this is really weird.

This has happened to me twice since owning the Inc in April of 2010. Both times it was something on Verizon's end and was fixed within 24 hours. One time it was an updated PRL issue the other time was just random 3G outage.

Did this just randomly happen today? Good that you let Veriz know about it. I would give it a day I bet it gets worked out. If not you should definitely pursue it with Verizon though.
