Problem 2. The phone is not reconnecting AFTER a data loss or overload. THIS is user created.
Don't expect a fix for #2 anytime soon, if ever. It's not their problem. Those settings were probably hidden for a reason.
Please stop saying this. I just replaced mine and left it stock and had the 3g drop with permanent disconnect + battery drain within a two hours of it being turned on. And yes, I tested it 3 more times before I ever installed an app.
So it is indeed a problem with either the phone or software as it was shipped. Therefore VM needs to offer a solution.
This is just nonsense. You have no idea what you're talking about - you're making hasty generalizations based on a single anecdote. I bought my phone and out of the box I was having 3g drops and was unable to reconnect. Occasionally turning the data on/off or using airplane mode would work, but only rarely. I even set my phone back to factory settings and the problem persisted. I eventually started using the Network app fix, and it tends to work more than most other methods though not 100%.

The funny thing right out of the box people are effected by this,nobody ever said turning Airplane mode on then off does not fix this issue temp,but this does not solve the fact that there still is a bug with the phone or the network which you will never be able by yourself to perm fix.I can't offer a resolution to the data dropping in the first place, I never claimed to be able to. I only claim that the reason the phone is not reconnecting is because of something you did or you installed. I'm not sure why you have so much trouble understanding that.
Instead of telling people this WILL NOT WORK, why not actually try it, instead of sitting here saying it can't.
I had every problem you guys are describing, and yet, now I don't. I haven't for weeks. Are you saying I have a magical phone? If you guys want to sit here waiting for a patch (that will likely never come), be my guest.
I don't quite understand the hostility and reluctance to even try. What, are you scared you might get a working phone? Do you work for Verizon or AT&T? Sorry, I don't get it. I offer a solution to some problems and you guys just don't even want to hear it. Meanwhile, you take the word of some idiot reading from a screen in another country, who has no vested interest in it other than getting you off the phone and then whine and complain while expecting some magical patch fairy to come and fix everything. I didn't wait, I went and figured out what was causing the problem.

I bought two Optimus V phones this past Saturday and was having 3G drops when I activated both on Tuesday. The 3G would go out and no Internet on both phones. The next day I was going to return the phones. I took the battery cover off to take out the battery and noticed I did not remove the plastic at the bottom of the phones. It covers the silver bottom. Once removed, the 3G started working correctly.
Also, my bars stop fluctuating. It is now a consistent 3-4 bars not the 1 to 4 it was doing with the plastic.
OK, if this works I am going to LMFAO. I had the plastic there and just removed it.
I hope you don't really think that's going to work lol
I did not contradict myselfLeslie Ann - You contridict yourself. In the first sentence you write "I can't offer a resolution to the data dropping in the first place" and then in the last paragraph you write "I offer a solution to some problems and you guys just don't even want to hear it"
So what is the solution you have offered? Or in other words, how did you get your phone to reconnect automatically after it drops data? Did you play with the settings? Is it an app?
I am having trouble understanding what you did for data to automatically reconnect after it drops on your phone.
Please explain in detail.
Well I can attest to the fact that I have wiped my phone using the reset to factory settings option on the phone, I have done this twice. My phone is not reconnecting and I have not installed anymore apps that mess with radio signal.
I believe juicedefender counts since it toggles 3g when the screen turns off, but I could be mistaken.
As far as the issue at hand, and apps that alter the radio settings, this was my experience: I bought my optimus about a month ago. Everything was peachy for about 2 weeks with no 3g data drops. I did not install (and still haven't) any apps that in any way messed with the radio, or any battery saving apps. One day I noticed that even though the 3g icon is flashing the up and down arrows and I was getting a good signal, I wasn't connecting to the internet. This being the first time it had happened (and before I knew this was an 'issue') I simply reset the phone, and when it started working fine after that I went about my day. A few hours later it went out again and resetting didn't work this time. I pulled the battery and waited a minute then turned it back on, and it worked... but it got me worried. I searched on the internet and found forums full of people with this issue and it got me really worried. I saw the advice early on about not messing with the network app (or anything similar) and heeded it, and the only thing I have done so far to get the signal back is toggling airplane mode, sometimes toggling wifi if that doesn't work, or resetting the phone. I really don't want to go through the hassle of a factory reset, especially since as far as I can tell I have already been following the advice suggested by Leslie Ann and still having the problem. It has gotten to where it has to have airplane mode toggled about 4 times a day, which is pretty annoying. However, there have also been times where I can go the entire day without the problem, only to have it return the next day.
As a side note to Leslie Ann: First I want to thank you for your efforts. I do think you are on to something, and I believe striving for repeatable results is the best way to find a solution. I am not posting this to dispute your findings, just to note that I didn't achieve the same results on my device. Keep us posted if the issue returns with your phone.
