I just got done unrooting and reinstalling stock on my phone.. well now I either get 3G with NO service, or 1-2 bars of service. This happened randomly, how can I fix this?
hmm, someone go ahead and lock this thread.. I was attempting to connect to my home wifi (which doesnt work on most routers, so Im gonna take it back) and accidentally hit the volume down key, and somehow ALL of my bars instantly came back...

I have never had this problem before or read about it. I keep wifi on at my house cause it's faster. Well tonight I went to plug my phone in and I took it off wifi but my 3G won't come up. I've tried everything. Pulled battery out, went to airplane mode and then back tried to update prl. I can't get my 3G to come back on. I have an app called quick settings that I've had for a long to turn off my 3G to save battery and it just says connecting.I've deleted the app and downloaded it back again and nothing. This has never happened to me before. How can I get. My Internet back? I am really lost on this one. It's like it's locked up and wont come back on. Thanks. By the way I have just about full reception.

You might have to do a factory reset. Before you do wait a bit and see if anyone has other ideas.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm on 2.1 and rooted but nothing has changed on my phone for at least 2 wks. No new apps or anything. Will factory resetting break my root?
Wait a while. This has happened to me on occasion and it has nothing to do with anything I did.
Check with sprint to see if there's a data outage in your area. Or you can try traveling to a different location to see if you get 3g somewhere else and then update your profile/prl from there. I had the same experience with a similar app. Went to an area where I got 3g, called sprint, and they updated my profile. Try doing that to see what happens.
I let it try it all night last night and woke up and still no 3g at the top. i can turn wifi on and it works fine. it just wont bring up the 3g icon and when i look in the quick settings it is greyed and says connecting. ill wait til i leave the house today and try it later. i just dont think its gonna work it just seems like the 3g is locked since it wont even displays the icon but hopefully im wrong thanks for the help guys. i know what you mean b3nny but my phone wont even displays the 3g icon at the top. i would assume if there was an outage it would still display the icon at the top.m,y wife has a hero and her internet is fine so no outage. thanks for trying to help but i think a factory restore is my only option. im about ready to go get to sprint and get another epic.
if i go to sprint and show them my phone i have insurance but this should go thru the manufacturers warranty. would i get a new or refurb one? i know if you use the insurance you get a refurb but what about the warranty? its not only this reason but my phone freezes a lot and will back out of an application for no reason at all. im just done with this one. there has to be one that works better than this one.thanks
Is your 3G Data enabled in the settings?
Not completely sure if it applies to 2.1 as I am running 2.2, but try and go to: 'Menu->Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile networks' and see if the box is checked by '3G Data'. Again, I am running 2.2, so I dont know if it is exactly the same, but worth a check.
anyone else run into this problem? Ive only had it a couple of weeks. Any suggestions would be awsome!
Ya - this happens to me all the time when I come out of the subway. The only thing that gets data back is a quick reset.
I have been getting this as well. Tmobile is my carrier and I thought that they were nerfing my phone or something since installing 3VO rom.
I start to get webpages, then it bounces me back to the home screen. But if I reopen IE/Opera the webpage HAS loaded and I can view it. I think it may be my home button sticking or something but I am unsure.
It has only started doing that though. Phone could be just wearing out. It happens.
Hi,
Still in my first week with my Note (UK rooted stock GB) and loving it.
One minor quirk though - where I currently am (hospital :-( ) I have no wifi and only an iffy EDGE signal. Sometimes the data connection struggles, drops and re-establishes itself, but occasionally it just stops trying and the only fix seems to be to restart the phone - toggling data/airplane mode on the power button, turning off/on data via the settings menu and firing up another, comms-based app doesn't help.
Can anyone suggest anything more convenient than a reboot.
Thanks

Ta - found a couple to try. Which one did you have in mind?

Fresh Network Booster and Network Booster
both working great, try them.
Yep, those are the ones I installed. They seem to improve signal bars but data transmission has still been crap until a short while ago - maybe there's a local cell problem - I'll keep persevering, but hopefully I'll be home in a day or so.
Lost data again today, tried the apps - no luck and after about 30 secs the signal bars were replaced with the 'no signal' icon.
I switched on airplane mode, waited a few seconds and tried to turn it off again but pressing the airplane mode button did nothing.
In the end I switched off/on, the phone came up in airplane mode but let me turn it off and everything was OK again.
Does this just happen in one location? Like maybe it's just weak cell sites? Just curious.
Could be - I'm still stuck in hospital so can't try elsewhere.

Alright, well, let us know if you have problems when you can try it somewhere else.
Also, strange that the hospital doesn't have wifi. Every hospital I have been to does. Lol.
Same problem here, looking in the whole forum it seems that some One X users are having the same issue... really annoying, hope its not a hardware issue... theres a really low stock of Galaxy Notes here in argentina...

I bought my girlfriend at GS 4. Ever since she got it she's having trouble connecting to the internet, whether it's 3G 4G or WiFi. it doesn't matter if she's home, in the house, or wherever. the phone is brand new, and it's already been factory reset by sprint. I had her take it to Best Buy yesterday and Samsung store, and they ran a fail tests on it she said it was good. Also since the moment she walked into Best Buy, immediately she had full bars of everything and her hone worked perfectly so they couldn't duplicate the problem. The phone is ahout 3 weeks old so no one will let me return or exchange it, which IMO is complete BS. She cant update her profile or download anything, and when she does it displays error codes. She had a data error "6602" when updating profile, and an entirlely full notification screen of errors from google play. Anyway I'm out of state so I can't help her, is there a way to get anybody to exchange this phone for her? Its ridiculous already.
Try going into settings then mobile networks then more networks then network mode then cdma. The phone will reboot. After it has rebooted and the 3g network icon has stabilized, go into settings, then more tab then system update. Then select uodate prl. Make sure it updates. Then select update profile. Wait until it says update successful. Now go back into the network settings like before and select lte/cdma. Let it reboot. After reboot, gold power button down and turn off phone. Once blue light has shut off and the vibrate had happened, take the battery door off. Remove battery. Hold down power button and count sixty seconds. After that, let go of button and put battery back in. Power up phone. Give it a minute to connect to network after booting up. If after a couple of minutes the network hasn't connected and stabilized, then there might be something wrong with the phone or tower network. If after trying this a couple of times, if it didn't correct the problem, then I'd go see a sprint service center. I've done this recently and it fixed my data problems. If it doesn't, in your case, then take it to the repair center.
try ##72786# let it go three the motions and see if this stabilizes the connection issues. it did for me
I need help this is driving me insane!
I've been running Dynamic Kat Rom for about 6 months or so now. Everything was working fine then all of a sudden a week or two ago I noticed my mobile data is not enabling at all.
I can only connect on Wifi and only receive SMS.
I've tried
- Messing will all the data/network settings
- Turning Mobile Data on and off -- no effect
- Toggling Airplane Mode on and off as suggested in some places
- Wiping everything but Data and reflashing latest ROM
- Reseating the SIM card
- several other things I forgot..
I do see the carrier information in the top left (AT&T) and I am getting signal bars.. but not indicator for 4G/LTE/etc
I've been messing with this for a week now and it's driving me insane.. I can't get a connection anywhere unless I'm on Wifi.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not super phone savvy, but willing to try any suggestions anyone may have.
Hmmm.. weird.
So I called AT&T and asked them about it.. figuring it could possibly be a carrier issue.
They told me to try things I had already done 100 times.. turn the phone off and on.. turn wifi off... etc.
I turned Wifi off... (which I had done 50,000 times before) and 4G popped up.
I guess they did something. So.. guess it's resolved.
Problem has returned.. same issue. I will have 4G signal for hours and then all of a sudden it will drop completely and I can't get a data signal no matter what I do.
I see AT&T in the corner and have signal bars, so I AM getting some kind of signal.. but no data connection whatsoever.
It seems completely random and intermittent.. I can have data signal for days with no issues then I will lose it for days.
Restarting the phone 5-20 times sometimes fixes it.. but that's about it. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
Bad signal / carrier issue?
Call them and report a fault in your area?
I have called them multiple times, they will reset the signal.. sometimes it will come back right away, sometimes it wont.
And this happens regardless of where I am. I know for a fact where I am right now has a great signal strength. I get 4-5 bars on average. But this also happens at home as well about 20 miles away, which also has a good signal, or anywhere I go really it can happen. This isn't in the middle of nowhere either, it's smack in the middle of SoCal (LA/OC)
I'm beginning to think it may be a SIM card issue or a hardware issue with the phone. I'm going to try asking them to send me a new SIM card.
Another thing I will notice is when I have a working 4G LTE connection, and I'm on Wifi... it will sometimes CONSTANTLY switch back and forth between wifi and 4G like every 10 seconds, even when I have full signal strength on Wifi and 4G.
Disable Smart Network Switching in WiFi settings
it's nothing but a buggy headache, disabling might fix most of your problems, almost certainly the constant switching back and forth
Yeah forgot to mention I have disabled that. It's disabled now. It solves the constant switching back and forth (when I actually have a data connection), but that's kind of a separate issue as the losing data connection.
