I am having this issue when calls get to the 8 minute mark I loose signal and the call disconnects then I get the signal back in 15 seconds. this tends to happen in every 2 out of 3 calls and in between the 8 to 10 min mark. any body else having similar issues.
I have the following upgrades
tmobile rom 2.17
agile messenger
smartskey
omapclock
gprs alwas connect tweak
Same problem experienced !
Is that a BUG ??...
I have started having this problem as well, but did not notice if the occurrances are at the 8 minute mark.
I assumed it was the Cingular network. Maybe not???
i had the same problem, however since i upgraded my rom the problem seems to have resolved itself (i dont regularly make 8min+ calls though so cant guarantee this will fix the problem)
are u guys using direct push. i am thinking it is when the data part of the radio tries to download while during the call. it causes it to crash. if i turn off direct push i no longer have the problem. how about u guys.

I don't have this problem but I have a thought that it might be due to heat. Do you have the screen on while making the call? I always turn mine off as I hit the send key.
As I say its just a thought, but the heat from your face added to the the device plus the display on may be over heating it causing it to cut out?
I had this problem after upgrading to the first AKU2.2 ROM that summiter put out.
After upgrading to the most recent version (the one he's calling the BETA), the problem has resolved itself.
this is getting to be a persistent and irritating problem . I have uninstalled all third party software but problem continues . my screen turns off at 30 sec so that should be ok. I will try to upgrade or degrade the rom. also switching of push sounds like a good idea but I was hopping the phone would be smart enough to do that on its own I like push.
Ignore my previous message - the newest beta from Summiter is even worse.
I'm going back to 2.17
When I saw this post, I at least felt that I was not losing my mind. I have had the 8 - 10 minute disconnect/drop for a couple of months. Luckily, most of the folks on the other end thought it was their phone. Now I'm a bit concerned since it appears others are experiencing the same issue. I am also on the 2.17.7.2 ROM version, and have the EDGE service pulling all the time.
grinny11 might be on to it. The autd heartbeat timeout for direct push is 8 minutes IIRC. Anybody not using direct push having this issue? Those who do: does turning off direct push before a long call correct this?
I haven't noticed the issue, but I'm rarely (if ever) on my cellphone > 8 minutes.
i have resolved my problem. Agile was the culprit. it was able to connect to the edge network even when a call was in process leading to a disconnect. now i just stop agile before making a call.
i really wish they would resolve this issue. i downgraded the radio rom once to 1.8 and i had less problems with dropped calls but still had a few. hopefully they will figure it out.
just realized that I have the same problem. Official Vodafone Germany 2.21 ROM, lotsa Software installed. though I don't know if it's 8min when it drops. What I noticed: I've been sitting in an area with 4 bars reception, had the call, then the call dropped with a silent "krk", and when I looked at the phone I had zero reception, the blinking LED was off also. After a few secs the LED would start to blink again, and reception went up to 4 bars again.
Very weird...

Another one with the same problem!
I have started having the problem after overclocking my phone, so maybe this could be the cause?
I have no Agile, nor any GPRS active at any time.
What about the others who have the problem?
Have you overclocked your phone?
Recently i have started using 4smarthone push service. This happens with me too, though i am not sure of the time mark. But isnt there any other way where we can set the Wizard NOT to connect to EDGE while a call is in progress? While turning off these sevices is ok before making acall, but what happens when we receive a call?
Peace
Same Problem
I lose all service when it happens, so for me it is not trying to dial out, just ... for service.
Well, Ill be talking, and about 4+ minutes in, the GPRS and Phone antenna signals go completel dead. Like they reset and turn off, then on again. I can make another call about 30 seconds later, but sooo annoying! I completely reformated, reinstalled everything I use, and a few days later its happening again. Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix it???
This happens to me too. No idea how to fix it though
Hmmm, what do you have installed?? It has never happened to me so I can only guess it has to be something you are running.
Im running several apps...Multi IE, Omap Overclocker, Registry Wizard, Pocket Weather, Agile Messenger, and I think thats it. shh5455 what are you running? Maybe we can find some common denominators and figureout whats causing this prob. Any input any of you may have would be great. Thanks!
common denominator
i'm running agile messenger and I've had the same.problem also. not using any of the other apps though. hope that helps.
This is related to programs trying to use GPRS while making voice calls. Agile Messenger is one of the programs causing problems. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=268499 (AKU2.3: GSM connection dropped while making voice calls) for more information. This thread also contains a registry change that may help.
Registry Fix
Do you have push mail setup? There is a known bug that will disconnect your phone call after about 4 mins. There is a registry edit that will fix this. Search google. I cant seem to locate it right now. Sorry
I had the exact same problem. It is a bug were an app that needs data will will request a data connection and the voice call gets dropped. In my case it was Weather Panel that was requesting data. Everytime that happen my call dropped. This reg hack fixed it.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"GPRSStallWorkaround"=dword:0

same problem, an interim fix
I've had this problem too. Everytime I hard reset or change ROMs it goes away, only to come back after I install all my usual apps. As far as I can tell it is Agile Messenger that is doing it to me, but I can't be positive. I just tried that reg fix and I'll let you know if it works out.
In the interim, I have found that while I am on a call, if I delete all the Notifications that are added (with MemMaid), including repplog, HttpDog, and Agile Messenger, then the call can continue without being dropped. I haven't bothered to try narrowing it down between the three since I just want my call not to drop, but it works. It is terribly annoying tho to say, "hold on a sec" every few minutes and delete the new notifications that are added.
If this registry change doesn't fix the problem, than I will create a small app to run while a call is in progress and delete these notifications for the duration of the call. It's hack-ish, but it should work.

The registry fix will solve this problem. Just be advised that after a hard reset you will need to apply that resgistry fix again.
The problem occurss when you are running any data applications. Microsoft now (as of AKU2) requires applications that use data to suspend data when a voice call is in progress. Since most apps are not doing, this the device sees a call for data and eventually decides to reset the phone to "fix" the problem. This always occurs after four minutes and is repeatable.
Hi,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S about a month ago, and have been having odd problems with it since the off. Has anyone else had these sort of symptoms:
1. I occasionally lose my data connection - the icon disappears from the top of the screen and whilst I can still make and recieve calls and text messages, I cannot download anything in any app. The only way I've found to get my data connection back is to reset the phone. This happens maybe a couple of times a week.
2. My WiFi seems to suffer from a similar problem. I can be browsing the web on Wifi, then suddenly I'll not be able to download anything anymore. The wifi icon is still visible, but I'll basically be unable to download anything until I switch the wifi off and back on again. Then, it starts working as normal again.
In both these above scenarios, I think I've narrowed it down to primarily happening after I use the Android Market, but it's difficult to tell as it's very intermittent.
3. A couple of times since getting the phone, I've been unable to make or receive any calls. Even switching the phone off and back on didn't help - my signal bar was showing I had a signal and my data connection was still active. Couldn't tell if this was a network problem or not though as there weren't any people nearby on the same network as me. After a while, it started working normally again.
4. The email client randomly lost all of my email settings. One day I was receiving all my emails, the next day I had no email accounts set up at all.
5. I installed Sensor Dump and Phone Explorer to see what data was coming in from the sensors, and have noticed that the light sensor never sends any data. Is this normal?
I also have the usual slow-down issues, etc, but the above have got me stumped as I can't find anyone else reporting the same issues. When I first got the phone, I went crazy installing a load of Android apps, so initially I blamed the software I'd installed. After a reset and being a bit more selective with the apps I install and use, I'm still getting the same issues. I just can't pin down whether this is a faulty phone that I should return, or if there are software issues either relating to the way I'm using the phone or just with bugs in the firmware.
Has anyone else had anything like the above happen with their Galaxy S?
Thanks,
Chris.
I've experienced no.2 several times, wifi just stopping all data traffic. Not found out what causes it though.
As for the other problems, I haven't experienced any of those. Do you use automatic brightness on the display? If not, problem no. 5 might be caused by the sensor being turned off.
thanks for the reply - at least I'm not completely alone!
I have the automatic brightness turned on - which is why it seems odd. To be honest, I've never actually see the auto brightness do anything. It always seems to be the same brightness to me.
Cheers,
Chris.
Strange Problem
Hi,
I've experienced no.4 some times. My inbox did not show some older mails.

I think it might be normal that older mails disappear from the inbox after some time? My problem was that everything went. I had three email accounts set up, all downloading emails every hour. Then, one day I went into the email app and there were no accounts at all! I had to set it all up from scratch again.
I hear there are better email apps available for Android, so I'll probably switch to one of those soon.

Hi,
I bought a Galaxy S on Orange UK in July. I'm having the same problem as 1. quite consistenly now.
I thought it might be related to the green power battery saver app I had installed, but i've removed this and still having the problem.
I'm using the phone in several central London locations so I think it's unlikely to be a problem with the data network.
Any suggestion would be welcome since I'm often without data.
Thanks
Nik
ive 1 and 3 but very rarely so far
rebooting fixes it for me
running froyo jp3
for email i use K9, it's almost the same as the integrated mail, only much better (PUSH imap)

I'm actually getting this happen a lot now. It seems to be getting worse, which makes me think it might be a hardware fault. I generally lose my data connection once or twice a day minimum, but some days the phone is virtually unusable.
I have found that it's more likely to happen after using Wi-Fi, so my other thought is that when coming out of Wireless mode, the phone may not switch the normal 3G/HSDPA data connection back on. Most of the time I can fix this by putting the phone into flight mode and then back out, but sometimes it needs a complete reset.
The other problem I've noted with the data connection is that sometimes it seems to rapidly switch between HSDPA and 3G - the data icon at the top of the screen keeps going from '3G' to 'H' then back again. I guess it has something to do with signal quality but it only seems to happen when the phone is showing a good signal strength (four bars). The problem I've found when this happens is that it virtually locks up any ongoing data transfers, making it impossible to download a webpage or check my emails. Strangely the only way I've really found to stop this happening is to move somewhere where my signal strength is weaker, such as indoors, which then seems to make the phone stop attempting to use HSDPA. I can't find a way to switch off HSDPA from within the phone's settings while leaving 3G on.
I really am now finding that using this phone is an increasingly frustrating experience. I've found even more weird faults, such as sometimes my text conversations show the wrong people's names up against them, and then my replies go to the wrong people. It's like an insane, shiny mess of a phone!

I am indeed experiencing same problems above..it just drive me crazy with a need of complete reset everyday..
turning on n off flight mode won't change anything..
I really hope someone can bring a miracle to solve this problem..
I'm on XXJPC
setting the APN parameter(Setting-->Wireless and network-->Mobile Networks-->Access Point Names-->New APN) to 2G only seems to solve the 'lost data connection' problem..
I am connected 24/7 now..
Give a try guys!
Hi Guys,
I have a major problem here. I got nexus 4 imported to india. I use it with airtel network one of the bests here.. previously i was using win 7.8 phone without any issues.

I am still in stock rom. nothing much installed. shud i try a factory reset . please help guys.

In my case after 10-20 mins i will get a miss call. Looks so weird.
If somebody tried to call me most of the time they will get messages like i am not reachable. After 2-3 minutes i will get a miss call alert. And sometimes after 10-20 mins i will get a miss call.
My phone is Nexus 4, 4.4.2
Hey, so I've been having this irritating problem for a while now... First it didn't really bother me that much, but now I'm starting to loose my mind over it..
The problem is that my Samsung galaxy s4 keeps on loosing my internet connection f.ex as I'm surfing thru the internet on anysite actually, while refreshing a page or trying to acces to a new page
I come across starting at the blank screen for a while and figuring that my phone once again lost the connection to the internet, this takes up to approx. 5-10 secs. After that the internet connection comes back,
and the internet works OK for a couple of minutes again. While i'm somehow still able to live with this problem, there's another. I constantly use GPS, google maps at work as I happen to be a courier at a delivery firm, the
gps freezes from time to time and usually when I'm leaving from one stop to another and try to input a new address into googlemaps it takes like 10 seconds till it finds the adress because the internet once again disconnected.
I also have another problem, My phone keeps blocking calls and i'm neither able to call anyone instantly, when I dial up a number and start calling the person my phone goes into somekind of "thinking" mode and it usually takes like
10 seconds ( sometimes longer ) before the phone starts to dial..
If there's anyone who knows how to fix this problem i'd appreciate it alot, really... I really WOULD. this phone is literally driving me crazy, and since I'm still paying of this phone, I don't really have the money to buy a new one lol..
The Phone is rooted, i've installed plenty of roms but seems like I have the same problem with every rom...
Atm i'm using the Samsungs original firmware which i downloaded from samsmobile.
Thanks in advance,
best regards ~ andy.
