Talked to Verizon last night about it. They confirmed that it is a known issue and that moto and big red are working on a software fix. He said that there is a temp fix by going into settings/mobile networks/ and switching it to cdma only. Turn the phone off, pull the battery and the sim card for 20 secs and power it back on.
So I thought I would give this a try even though that would disable the 4g and I bought it for the 4g. Result, the phone says I have 3g now, but it is in grey not blue and I still have no data.
Sure they may eventually fix it but come on, Master of all machines is a paper weight without data connection.
My advise to everyone, take the phone back. Don't even exchange it, return it and use something else for the next few weeks until the Nexus Prime comes out. Now I am over my 14 days, but I am going in to the store tomorrow with goal of returning it and using my OG D until the Prime comes out.
CDMA only will also save you battery life.Talked to Verizon last night about it. They confirmed that it is a known issue and that moto and big red are working on a software fix.

Ugh So I havent had any sort of signal since about 10am, its now 1230pm. This is sooooo frustrating. I have no idea what to do. I cant call verizon or anything cause I have no signal. Im thinking about doing a reset. I just hope my apps will auto redownload.
Patience is a virtue. It's your choice, but when the update comes out and if everything is working fine, are you going to regret it? What if you're not satisfied with the Prime? I'm not judging one phone over the other. Seeing as you're already over you're 14 days, you can't return it anyways, they will just replace it, which may actually help your situation.
My data drop problem suddenly went away a few days ago. Now it's locked in 3G, even though it's set to LTE/CDMA. I spend most of my day in a strong LTE area (I received a nice LTE signal the first 3 weeks of BIONIC ownership) but only 3G now. I haven't tried to toggle to see if I can get 4G back because, to be honest, I'm happier stuck in 3G than I was loosing all data for hours at a time. I'll ride it out for a while and see if a November update fixes this issue.
It's sad, I know. A 4G phone that I'm actually happy is stuck in 3G mode. (Oh, and my batter life is AWESOME now, too!)

I bought mine 30 days ago. Had to replace sim card upon activation. Data was working fine for a week, then stopped. I powered the phone down, started it back up, and went for a couple weeks with no loss. Then I traveled four hours away and, on my return home, the data was lost again. I don't know if it was caused by travel or just a coincidence. I powered down and data came right back. Last night I went to bed with full 3G and this morning, it was gone. I've done multiple power downs, toggled Airplane mode, pulled the battery, and performed a complete rendition of Napoleon Dynamite's dance routine with a live cat draped over my left shoulder, but data is not coming back.
I waited for two months for this phone to come out, and then I waited a week before buying to see what people thought. I guess I should learn my lesson and never buy any gadget until it's been out for a few months so the bugs can be worked out. I'm happy with it when it's working, but data is 100% necessary for my work and this is going to affect my productivity if I can't get it working quickly!
