Help Stuck in airplane mode

[busybee]

I've got the same data issues a lot of people have reported here and around the web, where my phone will suddenly lose signal entirely in places I have great service. Dropped calls, late text messages, no internet, it's really been a pain.

As a result, I do a lot of toggling in and out of certain modes to try to get signal back. However, if I go into airplane mode (either by long-pressing the power button or via settings), I can't get out. The option is grayed out (again, both in the long-press menu and in settings) when I try to toggle out of airplane mode and back into a normal mode.

Is that expected functionality on the Nexus? It's definitely different than any phone I've had before.

Luckily I realized that switching from LTE to CDMA back to LTE works to return my signal as well, but airplane mode via power button long press is much more convenient.

Anyone else having this issue? Or do I just have a bum phone?

Is this a Verizon Nexus? If so, I'll move it to that forum as most interaction here is about the GSM version.

I have a VZW Nexus myself. I had that problem when I was on the stock radios where it would hang turning the radios off (going into airplane mode). After I upgraded to the 4.03 radios, the issue went away. If you are not rooted, the solution is to wait for the OTA. Otherwise, try flashing the new radios. I am not sure about the 4.04 radios, I haven't tried them yet as I haven't needed to.

Ah, new phone, new forum. I didn't realize there was a separate VZW Nexus forum. I'll head over there. Thanks for the help, though!

I get stuck in airplane mode quite a bit as well. It seems to happen any time my phone can't connect to Google's servers (The signal bars are gray instead of blue) My battery also drains very fast when it is in this state as well with "Android OS" having about 90% wake time. I assume it is because it keeps trying to connect to Google's servers and can't for some reason. If I turn my phone off and on it works normal again for a day or so.
