My Droid 3 all of sudden has lost the 3g Icon at the top right by the signal icon. I have lost all internet connection UNLESS I use WiFi, but I am paying for 2gb Data Connection, it was working before. Anyone know why I lost the 3g icon? and how can I get my internet connection back? without WiFi, so I may use Internet when i'm not home.

I've done what you said, the 3g icon is still not there in the top right corner. I still have no internet connection, WiFi is turned off. Smiley Sad

Yes, i've done some research before posting this topic, My Data Enabled is checked and so is my Background Data. I evened dialed the program number, went to check Data Call Enabled is checked as well. I don't really know what seems to be the problem.

There's no need for a factory reset.

For some reason Verizon's towers are causing lots of phones to lose certain program settings.  I don't know if it's because of some upgrades they're pushing out to the towers or what, but you don't need to factory reset to fix it.

NOTE:  Once you get into the Program settings, don't mess with anything that's not listed here or you might cause more problems than you fix.

Open your Dialer

type in ##PROGRAM and hit Dial

It will ask you for an SPC password, type in 000000 and hit verify

Under [07 Data Call settings], Check the box next to [Data Call Enabled]

This should get your Data connection working again.
