So I have been able to repeat this problem. I noticed it just started happening in the last 2 months or so.
Scenerio:
I turn my phone off (or screen off), start driving say 3+ miles. When I get out of my car, I turn my phone back on. Then I notice the EDGE icon has a X and the signal bar has a X. It then proceeds for about 5-10 seconds finding a signal pretty quickly.
Now I know for a fact that during this time when the phone is off, I am unable to get calls because it doesn't look for a signal until I turn the phone on. This is a pretty big problem as this obviously shouldn't be normal. Anyone else experience this?
I currently have the standard 64K sim, didn't get the 3G yet.
anyone experience this?
i guess it depends on where u live, and where towers are located.
I haven't noticed this behavior.
What's the deal with the 3G SIM? Can we swing by any Cingular store and pick one up? What's the benefit over the 64k chip?
It sounds as though the 3G card doesn't benefit the Wizard at all, too bad this brand new device doesn't support the newer technology
3g isnt even available anywhere yet. i think its only good on 4 city blocks of NY or somewhere completely remote. 2008 i think
im in nashville, 3g works nearly all over nashville on my blackjack. It would be awesome if it worked on my 8125 aswell, sadly, only edge is working!
hey everyone
so my G2, which I absolutely love, has been having a problem lately. in the first week it happened maybe once and i didn't think much of it, but since Friday it's happened like 8 times now. I'll be sitting there with my G2 and all the sudden I have no service whatsoever. Just an x on the signal strength indicator. 1 or 2 times it has come back after a minute or two, but the other times I had to turn the phone off and back on. the weird part is I'm not moving at all, totally sitting still, but when it comes back on I have FULL bars with HSPA+. so it's not like I walked into an area that didn't get good reception.
any idea what's going on? i looked around but didn't see other people having this issue. any ideas?
thanks
alright well at least i'm not alone. i remember that rumored OTA update was supposed to have some radio bugfixes. maybe when the real OTA update comes it will have something to fix this. i hope so.
I have been trying to diagnose this issue on my phone too.
By any chance, do either of you have your BT on at the time?
Happens to mine as described and I have never turned on bluetooth. However this would also happen to my G1 so I think its a network thing personally.
Yeah, it definitely is. I have 2 areas that it happens in, both are while I am in my car and I have BT on in my car. When I ran it without BT, did not happen.
I have found that when I am in those area's, turning off 3G stops it entirely, even with BT on, so when in my car, I set edge and still use my BT and problem is gone.
I hope this is temporary and an OTA can fix the handoff from 3G to Edge and back better so that I can stop this, but this works well enough.
Mine has done that also, maybe once a week for the past 3 weeks.
Judging by the other problems you can have Id say this one isnt that bad. Especially if it only happens once a week haha. This is the only problem I have with my phone.
no bluetooth...
no no bluetooth on, i never do actually... but also my G1 never did this, which makes me think it's NOT a network thing, but I don't know.
also I'm sure this is just coincidence but it almost always happens when my girlfriend is nearby with her T-Mobile Blackberry Curve. i know it wouldn't make any sense, but she's sitting there on the same network with full service and all the sudden my G2 loses service completely, right next to her... although it's not always while she's there, but like the majority of the times she's been there.
I just started another post to check on something, I have widgets that show me when I am connected to 3G and when I am connected to H. I have noticed that the phone is activity managing that connection. In other word, it is in 3G until data is transfered then it goes to H. I wonder if when we are in areas of "questionable" HSDPA signal if this hand off is causing the problems.
I have seen a lot of op's say that there problems come right after some data activity?
Just a guess a this point
i saw someone mention in another post that it happens after/during a text message alot of times. i haven't noticed that myself, but that's something to think about too.

What I've heard is that the phone will stay in 3G mode until you begin using data in order to save battery life. Makes sense to me.
I keep having a dropped data connection issue. Over the past few days it will randomly drop data where previously i would have around a 5mpbs d/l connection. Sometimes it will take me rebooting the phone to restore the connection. I am beginning to think my phone is having an issue. Has anyone else experienced data connection issues?
This is really annoying the hell out of me now when I have had no connection issues with this phone until the past few days.
I have had the same problem

Has anyone talked to tmobile yet about this? I am almost to that point.
I too have been having this problem but I thought maybe it was just because of the iced glacier rom...glad to know in not alone...
Please post questions in Q&A section.
I have this issue with my phone I would be connected to HSPA with full bars and tried to watch a YouTube video using the app and after a min it would stop buffering. This got me really frustrated as it has happened quite a few times I called T-Mobile and they are sending me a replacement as we speak maybe you guys should do the same
Seems like a phone call is in order.
I've noticed this too, in the last couple of days. It happened yesterday and today as well. I wondered if it was an issue with the radio and some ppp problems, thankfully today while I was at work I noticed that my phone dropped its data connection and I asked my co-worker to lend me his phone (same model) and his had no data connection either. I live in the Miami area, my guess was that T-Mobile is either expanding heir hspa+ network or just messing with their antenas. Let's hope that everything goes back to normal tomorrow otherwise I will have to make a call and figure out whats going on!
I just got my phone late last night, and the 4g network has been disconnecting me every 5-10 mins.
Same problem here.
Glad to hear that I'm not alone.

This is odd. The disconnections only appeared on the first day. It has been fine since then.
Yeah, this was happening to me too. Up until recently, my connection would be intermittent in my apartment, but solid when I'm out on the town. Thankfully now tho, its always solid at my apt. They were Prolly working on the tower by my apt cuz I don't remember doing anything different.

sorry to bump such an old thread, but didn't want to start a new thread for the same thing.
I am having similar problems with varying degrees on several different mytouch 4g's belonging to me/friends/family.
The data connection drops out occasionally requiring a restart to fix; phone calls still work. On most occasions, my phone in particular, loses data connection while I'm on a call, but regains it after the call ends. Is there a fix for this?
Thank you for bringing this back up, I noticed this has been happening to me too, it will lose data. I'll still be able to text and call but no data. If I go to settings, it says "turning on mobile data" and it stays like that until I restart.
Well Ive switched several different ROMs, radios, and kernels so far, and I'm still getting poor reception issues. I've noticed when I push a button to turn the screen on from sleep mode it will say 'no signal' real quick then it goes away. But Ive also noticed that sometimes even with 'no signal' I can still make & receive calls but not other times So far this is the last issue I need to figure out with android for my hd2, I cant afford to be missing calls. Ive checked the battery usage info, and cell standby says my time without signal is usually between 50 and 75% help please

There is a 13 page thread on this with so far new resolution the only sure fire fix right now is leave the phone in 2G or Edge and you will stay continually connected, not a great fix but it keeps the phone locked onto the network

Currently I'm running CM7 stable and I'm having a few problems which are starting to annoy me.
1) The first is to do with making and receiving calls. I'm finding that all calls are dropped. Some are dropped straight away, others after a minute or two.
Does anyone know whats causing this, is it the ROM, kernel or radio? (or anything else ) Has it been fixed in the nightly's?.
2) Another problem is sometimes when I turn mobile data on, the phone doesn't connect to the mobile internet even when in a full signal area. Once this happens, no amount of turning on and off mobile data solves the problem. The only way I found to solve this, is to switch to 2G only and then back to 2/3G and then it'll work. Again is this a problem that anyone else has experienced and has it been solved in the nightly's?
Thanks for all help in advance
