Every time I lose my GPRS connection over Bluetooth from my laptop, I have to reset the device in order to be able to reconnect. If I don't, the laptop just hangs at the "dialing" status and then gets a failure to connect.
If I drop the connection manually, I can reconnect at will. I also rarely get a drop on the handset itself, but if I do, it will reconnect with no problem. However, if I get a drop while using the laptop, then the handset won't connect either until I reset it.
Just thought to try this... I can also reconnect if I turn off the radio and then turn it back on. Which is only marginally better than just doing a reset.
Very odd, and I haven't heard of others having this issue. Any ideas? Anyone else seeing this problem?
Same Thing!
I see the exact same thing on my XDA III/PDA2K. It happens when I switch carriers while roaming (AT&T/Cingular/etc.).
Did you ever happen to find a solution?

Hi folks,
I have noticed an irritating, intermittent connection problem with a couple of XDA phones I've had. Specifically, I now have an HTC Touch Pro, and most of the time the internet works fine. Sometimes though, when I try to connect, nothing happens for a very long time, and eventually an 'unable to connect' message is displayed. Usually, I use Opera 9.5, which was pre-installed. But the problem also exists if I use the standard IE and also with Skyfire too. The message is different depending on which browser I'm using of course. But if one won't connect, none of them will, so I don't think it's a problem with one of those browsers. I should point out that when the browsers do connect, they stay connected. this problem only occurs when I open the browser and it tries to connect. I did have the same problem on my previous XDA device - O2 XDA Trion. I have found that if I perform a soft-reset, the internet will then start up nice and quickly on the first attempt, which I'm guessing suggests it isn't a network problem. Does anyone else have this experience? Does anyone know what might be causing it? Of all the pieces of software I've installed, there are few, if any, that I've had installed on both devices, other than the programs which are preinstalled. The only commonality between my previous device and my current one is the OS and the SIM card.
Are you speaking about your HTC PRO Wifi connnection or the EDGE/GPRS/HSDPA connection?
I also have issues with the data line not being connected or running the way you would think. I then pop over to wifi and all is good. I normally just turn off the data connection and reconnect.
Also, do you keep the connection permanently on data mode or do you let the phone log on for you?
My theory (this happens to me sometimes too) is that my phone connects to the tower and then gets timed out because of no data activity. The phone doesn't figure it out and simply shows a connection still. Then when you try to get data the phone is confused as to why the digital connection it thought it had was no longer active.
Props to me for making up **** and having it sound 2Legit2Quit.
I am talking about my EDGE/GPRS/HSDPA connection, and, now you mention it, yes, I think wi-fi works when EDGE/GPRS/HSDPA is not working. I'm not sure about that though. I'll have a go when it happens again. Which it will, very soon, because it happens all the time. It's annoying.
Thanks for your ideas!
PS: I didn't respond to your question about data mode. I'm not really too sure what you mean by that. I didn't know there was a data mode! In the Touchflo3D settings, under communication, there is a switch labelled 'Data connection. Turn off data connection.' But if I do turn that off, it just turns it straight back on again. I'm not sure that's what you meant though.
I've noticed that my [rooted] Vibrant frequently has trouble connecting, or staying connected, to WiFi networks.
At first I thought it was specific to my Verizon Actiontec WiFi router, however I've also noticed this at my office, where we use Motorola routers, as well as a few other locations that I frequent.
It's still possible that its a site-specific problem, but, less likely as I'm seeing this in a few locations.
Symptoms:
I configure my phone to connect to X network.
It successfully connects and all it fine.
I get out of range, it no longer sees network X and disconnects.
Some time later I return to my previous location and expect that in N seconds/minutes the phone will automatically reconnect.
A considerable amount of time passes and I notice it's still not connected.
I check the wifi settings and it days connection unsuccessful.
I tap the network, click connect and it works.
I've also noticed this after connecting to a network and the phone goes to 'sleep' or into an idle state. When a wake it up, it doesn't always automatically reconnect.
Anyone else seen this?
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.
i've had that problem. i am not sure what it was because I was rooted and Ryaned. I got sick of all the stupid lil bugs and had to wipe format and unroot. Now that I am back to the original condition, theres this sense of comfort knowing if something buggy happens, it's not "my" fault.
Thanks for the reply.
I noticed this prior to rooting and 'Ryan'ing'.
The capacitive buttons don't work all that well from time to time - specifically the Home button so maybe I should just exchange it. I'll call TMO tomorrow to see what they say.
Hello! I have some annoying problems with wifi.
1. Sometimes network that i want to connect to, is simply listed as "Not in range". Turning wifi off and on usually fix that.
2. Sometimes network is detected, but phone won't automatically connect to it (it will just show Remembered at the network and disconnected at the top). I have to manually click on the network and select Connect. After that phone will eventually connect to the network, but it will take much longer than normal.
These issues are resolvable manually, but it's annoying. I want my phone to automatically connect after i just turn on wifi.
Any ideas, what could be wrong? Does maybe have to do something with SuperPower program that i have installed?
My specs are in the signature. Similar issues were also happening with RAFDROID HD 1.0 and darkstone's Froyo SuperRAM.
3. Sometimes when browsing the web or watching youtube videos, phone will simply disconnect and one of the above issues will occur. So no automatic reconnect.
Also i forgot to mention that in issue 1, phone don't see any network, not just mine.
Please help, it's very annoying.
Bump. Anyone?
This issue is annoying as i have to reboot my phone frequently to fix this.
Ran into some weird issues this weekend with my wifi connection with my focus.
The phone would randomly disconnect from my home network (strong signal, secured) and connect to an open network with weak signal. I would find this out as I would try to do something that required data and it would just hang and do nothing, I would have to go into settings and disconnect from the open network, reconnect to mine.
Frustrating that there was no way to force it to use our home network or to forget the other network and it stay forgotten.
Anyone had any similar issues. It was just this one day it did it, but was incredibly frustrating. I'm still within my 30 days, so if this is going to be an ongoing issue, I might should reurn the thing for something else.
Hi all, as noted in subject, occasionally I am connected to WiFi but I get no active connection (nothing comes in or goes out). The only way I remedy this is disabling/enabling WiFi and as this is a small annoyance, any reason this happens? I have an RT-66U router as well, if it matters.
Thanks and happy holidays.
Nobody?
Hi
could you solve it already?
if not, switch location settings to GPS ONLY.
good luck

Yeah I'm having the same problem except even when disabling/enabling wifi, I can't get a reliable active connection. It's only when I turn on airplane mode and off and reconnect. Then will I get a reliable internet connection. I'm not sure what's going on. The strangest thing is this problem occurred over time. First month, no problem. 2nd months, occasionally. now, into the 3rd, it's on a daily basis. My previous Verizon Note 2 also had this issue but then seemingly disappeared, only to rear it's ugly head a few months down the road.
Here's a post on reddit with others having the same issue: http://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4/comments/2ks0ap/note_4_wifi_issue/
Not sure if a custom rom would solve it. For now I'm just using my 4G connection as I have the unlimited plan.
turn smart switch off and see if it helps. does it get an ip address ?
Have you rebooted the router? Unplug it, wait a few seconds, then plug it in again. My router does this every now and then.
Also try rebooting your phone.
If neither one of those work, then you can try factory resetting your phone as a last resort. After that, if it's still not working then either your phone or router is busted.
