Verizon data outage?

[Sandman333]

I have full 3G bars on my phone, but no data throughput. WiFi is scanning, but there is none where I am at. I turned WiFi off and still no throughput. The 3G and bars are white, so it is not connecting. I have noticed that my phone is very flaky as far as switching between WiFi, 3G, and 4G. Sometimes when I leave a WiFi connection, I cannot get data until I turn WiFi off. Other times it works just fine. Sometimes when I am in a known good 4G area, the phone will not switch to 4G unless I change the Settings menu to 3G only and then back to 3G/4G. Other times it switches just fine. It's not consistent at all.

Right now though I've got no data despite full 3G bars (white).

I'm not see any issues... it might be a local outage... did you call VZW???

Their site seems to be acting funny too , couldn't track an order from yesterday and couldn't order online today.

I got back to normal a few hours later. Maybe just something goofy with my phone?

I'm seeing the same kind of issues with my new Razr Maxx as well. I even rebooted and I still couldn't get a data connection.

My phone stays on all the time, even over night. At home I use my home wireless. When I left my home it switched to 3G data just fine even though wireless was left on. Sometime later, wireless was switched off, although I didn't do it explicitly. From that point forward I lost all 3G/4G data connection. Later on I switch wireless back on again and then it found a 3G connection. Its almost like something turned off the data connection altogether.

I'm wondering if this isn't somehow related to my smart actions.

I'm using the wireless widget and if wireless is on (with no wireless connection specified) then I get a 3G data signal... Something doesn't seem right with this phone and how it handles switching data b/w 3G/4G/Wifi.

Word is out that Verizon is experiencing a nationwide 4G/3G outage.

My 4G is not working, 3G is coming and going.

This explains my inability to use GPS on my drive to MA this morning. Actually, I'm kind of relieved. I thought there was something wrong with my RAZR . . .

Glad to see this, I was nervous thinking I had another phone (Galaxy Nexus previously) that was having data issues. Happy it is not my phone.

I was wondering why my coverage was so poor while driving into downtown Chicago this morning.

Data on my Maxx and my Thunderbolt have been intermitent at best. And this has been going on for a while now. I have called Verizon a few times, yesterday I did too in fact. I actually got to a tier 2 person who was going to try something other than telling me to do a factory reset! I was supposed to get a call back from him, but as usual he didn't call back. I use to brag Verizon had the best customer service, but as of late they are leaving much to be desired.
Maybe it is just growing pains of transferring to 4g, but I am very rarely in a 4g area, should that mean I don't get to use my unlimited data when the he!! I want?

Allegedly as of 1PM EST, the 4G is back up... made the news, for sure.

It had to be more than just a 4G outage. I couldn't get a data connection over EVDO either.
