Kit Kat data connection problems

Since updating to kitkat (among other problems) my data connection drops to 3G almost everywhere, and sometimes unexpectedly disappears completely. I used to have 4G everywhere most places and always in the two zip codes I primarily use the phone from. 02113 and 01970. Anyone know how to fix? Is this just one of the things they need to correct in the next kit kat update? Thanks.

I've had this issue for months.  I've done everything Verizon suggested, including new sims, factory reset, toggling Airplane mode, LTE on/off, radio on/off, reboots, *#*#4636etc., and more.  Nothing helps.  My phone still intermittently loses the 4g connection.  They haven't suggested trying a new (not new; reconditioned), but I don't want to go that route; I know others who have gotten a replacement, and it hasn't helped.  
It isn't fixed in the upcoming update according to developers forums.
Some think it's due to Verizon's network; others believe it's an inherent problem in the 4g chipsets in these first generation LTE phones.  I don't believe Verizon knows what's going on; they're just hoping the issue's fixed in the next gen phones, and the problem will go away.  Of course the problem with that is that some of their customers who are stuck with these phones will also go away at the end of our contracts, especially if another wireless company manages to come out with a RELIABLE high-speed 4g network.

  • Project Server 2013 Olap Data Connection Problem

    I have created a number or Excel 2013 reports which use OlapPortfolioAnalyser data connection. Typically creating a pivot table. I can select any dimensions and measures and excel works as expected.  However if I include the Project list or Resource
    list it does not.  I have tried this in two separate instances but do not have a separate environmnent availabale but would appreciate confirmation or othrewise of the misbehaviour.
    Steps are: (Assuming cube is built and permissions set correctly and using Excel 2013 client)
    In PWA\Bi\Data connections navigate to cube folder
    Double click on OlapPortfolioAnalyser – opens in Excel 2013 (warning about data connections being blocked)
    Click Enable
    In pivot select project list from pivottable fields
    Save file (locally or to sharepoint)
    Close file
    Now re-open file
    Excel displays warning - "We found a problem with some content in "xxx.xslx". Do you want us to try and recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of the workbook, click Yes.
    Click Yes
    Another warning is displayed (Repairs to xxxx.xslx)
    Removed Part: /xl/pivotCache/pivotCacheDefinition1.xml part with XML error.  (PivotTable cache) Load error. Line 2, column 0.
    Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotTables/pivotTable1.xml part (PivotTable view)
    Click Close - you now see data but pivottable functionality is gone.
    Note: this also happens with Resource list data.
    How do I resolve this?
    Thx

    More research and KB 2817339 appears to have the fix - see
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/projectsupport/archive/2013/07/30/excel-2013-error-opening-saved-pivottable-reports-from-pwa-bi-center.aspx 
    As I mention in the blog - the fix will not recover a broken xlsx as the break appeared to be on save rather than open.

    Unfortunately the blog post you linked is in error - it reports that the issue is fixed in build
    15.0.4517.1001. However I am running 15.0.4517.1504 and still hit the problem. The only workaround is the one post by
    adrian_rho, above, which solved my problem. Thanks Adrian for the workaround, and to Brian for the great job tracking and assisting people on this issue, even though it is Excel and not Project - much appreciated!

  • Data Connection Problem

    Hi, I have updated to IOS8 at the weekend and am having an issue with reliable data connection. I have 12pm-7am set as sleep time and in the morning at some point after 7 it has managed to get online and check email. However like this morning before I went out it had got new email yet when I opened safari to go to a web site, had 2 dot signal strength and 3G yet all I got was the spinning "flower" next to the 3G and no data.
    Eventually it times out.
    Previously at the weekend I have rebooted twice in succession before it worked however this morning I just went into settings and turned off/on the data and it worked fine fast as you like!
    It also seems to be intermittent through the day which I think may be leading to greater battery usage as it is spending longer trying to connect and then all the retry attempts I image it will be making.
    I have 4g switched off as that's not in my contract - battery saver in itself as it won't be searching for a 4g signal all the time.
    Wifi doesn't seem to be affected but would need to test that longer to be certain.
    using iphone 5 was a clean update factory reset and all that. using gmail contacts/email so didn't need to restore any backup.
    any ideas??
    edit: and it's most obvious when you do speech to text as it can't contact the server now thats a pain.
    thx

  • Excel Data Connection problem for posting Excel on SharePoint 2013

    Hi there,
          I tried to post an Excel file to a SharePoint 2013 site. The file has a column with VLOOKUP formula to look for data from another Excel file posted on the same site. However, once I open the file, it'll show the following message:
    "We can't connect to '[link to file on onedrive/sharepoint]'. Please make sure you're using the correct
    web address"
           I don't recognize the website on this error message and there is no data linked to it. If I click OK, it'll show the following error message:
    "Microsoft Excel cannot access the file '[link to file on onedrive/sharepoint]'. There are several possible reasons:
    - The file name or path does not exist
    - The file is being used by another program
    - The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook"
           I tried to create another Library and post the file but it still shows me the same error message. I urgently need to fix this error as the file is viewed by several directors. Can someone help??? Thanks a lot!!

    Currently, when a workbook that contains a Data Model is published to a library in Office 365, data refresh is unavailable.
    However, you can use a PowerShell script to configure a workaround.

  • Iphone 5 cellular data connection problem.

    I'm having problem with my cellular data, when it disconnected, it won't reconnect by itself. All I can do is restarting the iphone 5 or reset the network setting. I've tried to change a new SimCard but it seems that didn't work at all. Still having the issue until now. How to fix it? or send it to warranty?. Used this Iphone 5 about 9 months and the problem appear 2 months ago. Need Help!

    What did your carrier have to say about it when you reported the problem to them?

  • WSDL data connection problem, error attempting to read from file...

    Hi, I got the exact same error messsage as described in this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3136286#3136286
    I tried all the suggestions in the thread, but nothing worked.
    My process is like this:
    At the process initiator step, it uses form "A" (and Webservices calls work perfectly there),
    the initiator fills up form "A", "Complete"s it,
    and it goes to the next person, where it uses form "B",
    and Webservices calls fail to work from the form "B".
    However, when I replace form "A" with form "B",
    that is, use form "B" at the initiator step,
    the Webservices calls on form "B" work just fine.
    Any idea why this happened?
    thanks.

    I found a solution to this.  The 'DataDescription' elements in the data XML are the cause of the problem.  Apparently Acrobat/Reader is not able to handle the elements from form 'A' when loading that data into form 'B'.
    My solution was to modify my process to:
    1.) Create an xml variable (call it 'xmlData')
    2.) Create an XDP "wrapper" by setting the value of xmlData in a 'Set Value' operation.  Since my top-level form element is called 'TopLevelFormElement', my "wrapper" (the value for 'xmlData') was:
    deserialize('<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" xmlns:dd="http://ns.adobe.com/data-description/"
    xmlns:impl="http://adobe.com/idp/services" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
    xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
    <xfa:datasets>
            <xfa:data>
                <TopLevelFormElement>
                </TopLevelFormElement>
            </xfa:data>
        </xfa:datasets>
    </xdp:xdp>')
    3.) Copy the form data from the original (call it 'originalXmlData') to 'xmlData' by setting this mapping in a 'Set Value' operation:
    //process_data/xmlData//TopLevelFormElement  = /process_data/originalXmlData//TopLevelFormElement
    4.) At this point, you have a set of data (xmlData) that contains all of your form data but is free of the 'DataDescription' elements that cause problems.  Pass 'xmlData' into form 'B'.
    5.) Data should be processed as expected in form 'B', and web service calls should be operational.

  • Windows 8.1 - Office 2013 - Visual FoxPro - excel data connection problems

    Hi i have an excel document with existing data links to a foxpro database. these links worked on windows 8 with office 2013 but since getting windows 8.1 the links no longer work.
    After much searching i have found i need to installed VFPOLEDBSetup.msi
    This does not fix the issue. The ODBC Data sources located Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools still have no reference to FoxPro and within excel if i select from other sources and the other/advanced i can see the Microsoft OLE DB
    provider for visual fox pro but it crashes excel.
    in Windows 8 ODBC Data sources located Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools i have listed two items Visual FoxPro Database and Visual FoxPro Tables but both these are missing in Windows 8.1.
    What do i need to do to correct other than not to use Windows 8.1
    Many Thanks

  • Data Connection Problems with IOS 4.2.1

    Upgraded to 4.2.1 and since then, I get numerous errors connecting to the web (3G), accessing e-mail and sending text messages even though the phone indicates 3G service with 5 bars. I also keep getting a message box saying that the voicemail password is incorrect and asking me to enter it, even though I've already done this more than a dozen times. Is anyone else seeing this?

    Hi,
    I've been haveing the same issues after upgrading to 4.2.1.
    shortly after unlocking the iPhone from sleep mode and then opening safari, it'll hang for ages when attempting to open webpages.
    for the record, i have tried resetting network settings, rebooting, Hard rebooting (holding home and sleep toghther), i have done a full backup and restore and checked it before and after restoring from the latest backup, there was also an O2 carrier settings update and i have tried it with and without doing the carrier update, i have contacted apple and gone through the whole 'reset settings' procedure again with them, i have gone to an Apple store and had my iPhone replaced and have restored it.
    all this and nothing had helped it, in fact now it;s hangning more than ever.
    I'm using an iPhone 4, but have seen it happen on a 3GS running 4.2.1.
    i've just been to the O2 store to get a new sim card after the Apple genious suggesting i do so.
    my opinion is that the Apple update 4.2.1 has a bug causing the 3G connection to become erratic, its definately not a hardware issue, because i have seen it happen on more than one device, and it cant be a network issue becaue ive had it happen in many different locations.
    Most frustrating!!

  • Verizon data connectivity problem the page contains too many server redirects

    I work at a bank and literally Everyone on the Verizon network with an Android OS phone is getting this error when they try going to our website through the phone browser but it only pops up the rror after trying to login.  we have done difinitive testing that this is not occuring to any AT&T phones or black berry.  and it also is not happening with the Verizon Iphone.  Its soley an android issue that we can tell.    It just in the last week or so started doing this.  it had been working fine the last  few months.  Rebooting the phoen does not work.  clearing the browser cookies and cache and history does not work.  any legitimate ideas on what is causing this would be appreciated.  All things indicate an issue within the Android OS and its browser..

    Bgleas, thank you for sharing your issue as well. When other people send you text messages, do they receive any errors that it was not sent? Is this happening with numbers from a certain carrier? Try clearing your text threads and also clearing cache from messaging. Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All, Messaging, Clear data/cache. Let me know your results.

  • Data connection problems

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and my signal strength stays around -113dbm and 91 asu, this is while indoors and outdoors. I thought it might have been becuase of my sim card so I got a new sim card and it still stays around the same numbers. My phone will say 1x, 3G, and 4G and they all will have the same signal strength.

        I'm sorry to hear you're having signal issues in your area Kathleen95. Whats your zipcode ? Have investigated the area for you  yet via a trouble ticket? Does your phone have the latest software?

  • Droid 3 Connection Problems?

    Droid 3 was working fine yesterday.  This morning I go to check my Facebook (through Facebook's app), and get time outs due to "Network Connection Issues".  The browser will connect to Google, but cannot connect to any other website because "Data connectivity problem. The server failed to communicate. Try again later."  It will connect to the app store, but cannot download any updates for current apps (I was trying to see if perhaps the anti-virus software needed to be updated, even though it's set to automatically update).  I can send/receive e-mails (but cannot see pictures included in the e-mails), can send/receive texts, and make phone calls just fine.  I show 4 full bars of service and 3G.  Any help on fixing this issue would be most apprecaited.
    Specs:
    System version - 5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.US
    Android version - 2.3.4
    Signal strength - -63 dBm 0 asu
