3G disconnects when on the phone - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It it normal for my mobile internet to disable when I'm talking on the phone? And when I cut off it comes back

It's always done it for me so I'm assuming it's normal

Are other phones like this?

I'll also say my old Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X did the same - I'm almost 100% sure it's normal behavior in Android

If I'm not mistaken it's because your using 3g to call someone. Now if you were on 4G and try to call somebody most likely it would still say 4G on the top notification bar because it's using your non LTE band to call somebody and allows you to use LTE for data purposes so you would be able to hop on the internet and browse at the same time on a call. Now I know with AT&T you can call somebody and browse the internet while on 3G.

Too much to ask for you to post in one of the other two threads on this subject?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
may I ask if your wifi policy is set to "when screen off" might be getting the hand off between cell radio and wifi when reconnecting the mothership
How you check that

I'm experiencing the same thing. For the past month or so, my signal bars go from Green to Gray and as a result I lose any connection to Google's services. Such as Gmail, Gtalk, Gvoice etc. Every time I see this, I have to login to Gtalk and the bars go green again. But this fix only lasts from a few minutes to a few hours if I'm lucky. I've been on the Google forum reading about this issue since April on T-Mobile and other carriers, and now since a month ago on Sprint.
Yes that's the problem that I have

same here! t-mobile germany...
I had that problem with my HTC Desire. The problem only appears when there's very little space left in RAM or internal memory...
No this sounds like Google having server issues. I'm seeing the same on my phone.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
Do you see this happening with 3G, or wifi as well?
See it more on 3g. You thing it can be the gaaps cuz I get it back every time I go to gtalk

Nexus 4 AT&T connection lag?

Not sure what to call this really. Every since I started using the nexus my at&t hspa connection is terrible. Almost like lagging and "timeouts" constantly.
Example: I'm in Google chrome with 4 full blue bars on hspa. I type in a web address and hit go. It takes 5-10 seconds before the up and down arrows on the signal bars show up and then it starts loading the page. For 5-10 seconds it does nothing.
Same issue in apps. For example, in dice with buddies, I'll submit my move and it won't take it for like 10 seconds. I've never had this issue with any of my previous phones.
Do you guys know of better APN settings or something? I'm just using whatever stock settings there were.
I think it's a radio issue, where it disconnects spontaneously
It's annoying as hell and I'm about to sell the phone because of it.
Search the forum for the best APN. I'm on ATT with the nexus 4 and have no issues.

I concur. I not only had to change my APN, but I also had to call AT&T to make sure I was provisioned on an HSPA account.

No issues with ATT hspa network here as well... May be your area has bad att hspa network?

Use data while in call?

Hady nexus two days. Noticed when I was in the middle of a call I tried using Google maps to locate a place. Maps said I need a data connection. I did also notice next toy signal icon the data sign was gone and a phone icon was next to it. I came from the sgs3 on Tmobile. Is there a setting or an APN that needs to be set? I was in a 3g/hspa+ are. Am on latest 4.2.2 update.

Yep.maybe it was the area. I started the call in a big stretch of the interstate that is only 2g. When I tried using maps. I was in the 4g area but maybe the towers hadn't switched over?

yeah, only happens when you are on 2G... can't have phone and data simultaneously

Correct, data disconnects as soon as you use voice on 2g. :thumbup:
That's what I was thinking but was going to be dissapointed if this phone didn't actually have that basic functionality of a smart phone. Lol.

Random Signal Loss

Hi,
Not sure why, I'm facing random signal loss. Particularly when the phone sleeps.
I'm using Sentinel ROM and Air Kernel.
This has been happening in the past week and my other dumb phone on the same network with another sim card always has signal.
Neither the ROM or Kernel was updated recently.
What could be the problem?

Any chance your Nexus is looking for 3g signal where as your dumb phone is on 2g?

Data stops working intermittently.. Full bars.. Am I the only 1

My Nexus 4 running CM11 (doesnt seem to matter what rom I run, same problem when I was running slim rom) will intermittently lose data, most noticeable when streaming Pandora. Music will play just fine for about 30 minutes straight or more then it just stops playing and i am not able to get any data into the phone for at least 3 minutes unless I reboot. The thing is that i never show signal loss, it's always 4 plus bars of LTE (have not tried to duplicate on hspa).. It's not the app because google search stops working as well... I am using a hybrid radio..
Am I the only one experiencing this issue? Btw I'm in the US and using tmobile..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Nexus 4 does not support LTE !! I GUESS because mine doesn't ☺ so try Using it on 3g or wifi!!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Officially Yes that's correct.. However it does have the radio for it and it does work.. I will try hspa and see if it happens... But I'm not convinced its an LTE issue just yet.
