at home and work i know i have 4g network available but sometimes it is stucked on scanning and never grabs 4g and stays on 3g UNTIL i uncheck the 4g option and check it again.
mine got stuck once when i tried to turn it on during a phone call. scanning is not a bug.. it will keep on scanning until it finds a signal.
4g/3g
Am I lucky or unlucky? I power my phone on it starts up in 3g once the phone is loaded i am on 4g all the time I never have seen the 3g in the task bar. However this morning i had no network coverage and the phone didn't try to find 3g.

anyone find a workaround to the bug that at times when you move into a 3g zone for a zone where there was no 3g the phone will not pick up 3g.. i have tried everything and the only fix i have found is to reboot the phone.. turning on/off data does not work it goes back to edge..
I dun seem to have this problem, and I go in and out of 3G zones everyday as my basement carpark can never pick up a 3G signal
i have this issue aswell ://
Hi, since I got this phone and I've been having problem with the data connection, wifi is working fine, but 3G is not, it shows the 3G symbol but keep switching to H symbol and back again to 3G constantly, i never been able to surf the web or do anything online on 3g connection since i got it.
I tried putting in the setting from my provider and got the samsung network app thingy but nothing helped, even after updating to NoDo.
This is really bothering me i cant enjoy the phone when im outdoors, i switched back to my iPhone 3gs temporarily.
I really hope this can be solved.
I'm thinking if there is some way to make the phone only works on 3G and turn the H off.

H is for HSDPA and is far more faster than 3G. I reckon you run ADC on startup using samsung tools and hopefully the problems with connection will be resolved. Alternatively contact your sim provider for network configurations.
Here it also switches between H and 3G, or well it did on my other wp7 phone my (european) omnia uses 3g+. That's normal; the H mode probably eats your battery alive, and it only switches to it when your data connection is active (i.e. data is being transferred)
Your problem appears to be an Access Point problem, you can configure one yourself at the mobile connection settings page. (bottom). Check the web for the settings you'll need.
You see most phones are configured automatically by their providers, but the omnia probably isn't supported.
Hope this helps
the APN for China Unicon is "3gnet"
just add it your 3g connection will work.
anyone experiencing data drops particularly when the phone is in weak 4G coverage? It acts like it cant switch between 4G and 3G. sometimes it might take 5 min or more before it will reconnect to data. the phone works fine when it is in a strong signal area. So far I have just experienced this behavior in low signal coverage.
Yesss! Experienced that yesterday. But came back on in 5 min. Usually fixed when u go to settings and switch from the lte to GSM and back to lte but haven't had trouble with it today

Yours is the first case I've seen where data drops altogether, most have just been going back to 3G too often.

I am having the no data issue as well! I leave my house (on wifi and supposedly 3G or 4G) and I want to start listening to music immediately in my car but I have no data connection once wifi is off. It can take over a minute or more to get a data connection! I was wondering if this had to do with LTE protocol negotiation, as this is my first 4G phone. However it seems way too slow and its very aggravating. When it does get data back, it is usually 4G not 3G. Toggling data mode on and off doesn't fix it. I have not yet tried toggling between CDMA and GSM.

does it only happen when you're leaving wifi and going to cell data?
My experience with data connection was spotty for the first couple days. Going from WiFi into 4G then 3G on the way to work required a reboot to pick up the 3G after I arrived.
I think I may have found my issue.
Settings -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode
Was originally set to "Global". I've found that "LTE/CDMA" works better for me.
hope this helps some.
Using N9005, I've noticed that I get stuck in 2G after making/receiving calls. On very rare occasions, I'll be on 3G after the call, but usually I just get stuck on 2G for long periods after that, unless I go into Network Settings and toggle it to WCDMA to force it out of 2G, then toggle back to LTE/WCDMA/GSM.
Alternatively, does anyone have any way to completely disable 2G?

Yeah 4G does not work on call it will go to h+ or 3g or g it should take about a minute to back to 4g or whatever it was on, all phones do this

Yes, I know, just that it seems to be very rare that my phone is on 3.5G or 3G after ending a call.
Taking a closer look at the 3G reception in my office (pretty much the only place I make/receive calls), I realize that the spottiness of the 3G reception could be making my phone choose 2G over 3G. Guess I have to test this out somewhere with better reception.
It's all too frequently dropping 4G or LTE connection when on the move. It's showing a connection, good strength too, but no data connection working. Often needing an airplane mode toggle or reboot to get online again.
5G is disabled as I'm nowhere near a 5G area.
Anyone got any ideas? Different firmware or something?
I'm starting to regret moving away from the SD note 10 plus I had. That phone was rock solid.

I read that some people have issues with connection with some ISP providers. Try putting it on 3G and see if it works fine then. If it does then ISP has either sn issue with 4G network or phone needs a firmware fix to solve 4G connection issue if this isn't a hardware problem thought. Since for me it works fine here and my 4G shows all time and I even have 4G+ as status without an issue.
try disabling WiFi calling that helped in my case
Tried all that. Went into a town and it didn't again.. Had to force it onto 4g to get a connection.

Haven't had any issues myself, on giffgaff. Tried O2 briefly, it seemed okay too.

Give this app a try, might help fixing it to one band
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.samsungbandselection
Yes u have that thanks. It seems to be band switching that's the problem. Or is it possible my carrier has live but unused bands that the phone is locking into? So when I travel I find myself with a dead data connection?
