2. Call Verizon or go to store. More than likely you have a problem with the 4G LTE SIM card. I had the TBolt (I hated that thing) and for months numerous times a day I would have problems. I then called and got a new SIM and worked great the last two months of service. When you get your new SIM put in phone and go back to step 1. As much as you want to dont mess with your phone! Give it at least 5 minutes and make sure you are in a good coverage area even if you have to go outside. Also when you call have the rep refresh PUK codes on your SIM (you can try this now before getting the SIM replaced as this has helped in my attempts to fix this intermittent problem with 4G data problems)

I have no idea what causes this but have spent a lot of time looking into (plus I work for Verizon). Since Ive have been affected by this problem and it basically made me want to throw my Tbolt  in the fire and go elsewhere I tried everything and this is what finally helped. There are other factors that I’ve seen esp when it comes to where you are in the country as some areas are stronger than others, but it seems that most problems come from the SIM not authenticating once being pinged for authorization on the 4G LTE network. Hope this helps. I now have the Galaxy Nexus (also have the 4G Xoom) and neither have ever disconnected from LTE or even went down to 3G. I had the same Tbolt the entire time (since launch and got rid once I got the GNex on launch) and the only thing changes was the SIM.

And the stock apps can be updated without you lossing those changes…but enough about iOS. I’m loving my G-Nex ;P
