wirefly is the worst. offer cheap pricing paired with non-existent CS and it leaves people like me stuck cleaning up the mess and trust me, there is almost always a mess. ---

OK Android nerds, get your debug hats on. I have 2 problems. I am on Verizon Nexus 4.0.4 stock, unrooted. 1. I never used 4g before the 4.0.4 update, so now that I have the update I keep my LTE data service on (since it handles it ok and preserves battery life). But now that I leave LTE on it seems to turn off all of my radios randomly (cell, 4g, 3g), it does however leave wifi on… So in other words is anyone familiar or has anyone had this issue before? I dont like it when I suddenly cant make phone calls because my radios wont connect. The data thing doesnt bother me much. Also this never happens on 3g only. 2. My “Android OS” consumes ALOT of data… Is this normal? ![https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IjF5X8lcj_0/T-Mpdwd8FWI/AAAAAAAABFY/fqogVJlyNpU/s512/Screenshot_2012-06-21-09-58-14.png](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IjF5X8lcj_0/T-Mpdwd8FWI/AAAAAAAABFY/fqogVJlyNpU/s512/Screenshot_2012-06-21-09-58-14.png) Apparently I use a lot of data… Edit: OMFG ![https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LXP5iGwqJHo/T-MpeIN7kfI/AAAAAAAABFg/ynjCvmEpScw/s512/Screenshot_2012-06-21-09-58-29.png](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LXP5iGwqJHo/T-MpeIN7kfI/AAAAAAAABFg/ynjCvmEpScw/s512/Screenshot_2012-06-21-09-58-29.png) Its all background data too… ---

I experience the same issue as point #1. Will randomly try to send a text and boom, drop all signal. Wait a few minutes and it comes right back. FUCKING FRUSTRATING. My Android OS is at 6.86MB of usage for 14-21…Something is wrong there. VZW support will likely tell you to do a factory reset on the device, so unfortunately, that is the first place to start. ---

If you have your device setup to sync apps it should auto-install your apps once it’s been reset. ---

Yeah, somethings fishy. Sounds like an app is abusing background data. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/Screenshot_2012-06-21-11-27-08.png](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/Android%20Uploads/Screenshot_2012-06-21-11-27-08.png) ---

If a streaming radio app was to blame, then the data would (or should be, unless it’s malicious) be associated with that app. What’s sketchy is that the app is Android OS. Maybe there is some issue with your contacts syncing or something, that is causing it to loop. ---

Do you use Google+ Also quickly goolging do you have google backup enabled? Seems like many people have had the same issue disabling that fixed it.
