Is anyone else experiencing data dropping out on WP7?
I seem to lose my data connection at least twice a day. Its very similar to what was happening with NANDroid.
Just curious if I'm the only one.
I'm on T-Mobile US, and using epc.tmobile.com for my apn.
I dont have data at all right now. Ive only had wm7 on my device for less than 30 minutes though.
Just reboot your phone. I did it, it got fixed.

greetings. Last week my wife had gotten a treo 800w to replace a mogul she had. Yesterday, i noticed the old deactivated mogul had received outlook emails. After messing around with it for a little while, i found out that it's receiving data. i can use pie, opera mini, google maps, etc. It wont make or receive phone calls and cant send emails or texts. Im nowhere near a wifi hot spot or router, so im not getting data that way. The weird thing is, the internet hadnt worked for the 6 days after removing the sprint service. But, for some reason, it started working yesterday. Has anyone ever heard of this happening before? will i get charged extra data fees from sprint? oh yeah, the phone had been soft reset a few tmes, and had the battery removed after it was deactivated. I was just hoping someone could maybe explain why this is happening and if ill be charged extra because of it. thx dschoenike
It will probably only work as long as the currently active phone is on the same tower as the mogul, once the other phone switches to a different tower the mogul should stop working until the other phone comes back into range.

thanks for the reply. sorry for my ignorance, but does that mean as long as both phones are relatively close to eachother receiving a signal from the same tower, it'll work? And once they're separated by a long distance, and going off of 2 different sprint towers, it'll stop working? i wonder how far sprint towers are away from one another. my wife and i work about 40 miles away from each other.
I don't honestly know, but I would bet 5-10 miles, maybe a bit more, depends on the height of the tower and how much power they are pushing.
I'm basing my info on my previous post from something I just read on HowardForums. In his case when his wife was to far away it stopped working. Someone else acknowledged it was a known issue, and that cell-phone companies are just to lazy to shut off the data. It will show up as billed on her plan, tho if she has unlimited, it shouldn't be a problem, tho I suppose if they were both accessing data at the same time, your carrier might get a little suspicious.
If her new phone doesn't have data, I would not use the old phone, as you will get billed pay as you go on the data.

shes got unlimited data on her new phone, so im thinking it wont be an issue. guess ill just enjoy it while it lasts. thank for the replies.
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.
Is anyone else getting the same problem of no data connection when leaving your wifi network and going to Bell's network?
Every morning when i leave for work i get the same msg from every app trying to retrieve data. When i power cycle my phone, everything is fine.
I used to have this problem with 2 of my previous Atrixs. Now I'm on my 3rd and there seems to be no problem with data.
I've got the same problem. Sometimes it takes a reboot to get it working, extremely annoying.
other threads with this same topic. but just to check, try turning off wifi with the motoblur widget or in settings and not the power control widget. for me I haven't had the problem since day 2-4 (i have had it for 3 weeks now) that was the biggest thing i changed.
First Issue. when on a call. and I get another call when I swipe to switch over it gets stuck there for a few seconds before it picks up. one time totally froze my phone all together. anyone else?
Second. sometimes I have no signal bars but still able to make a call or text? if I reboot they come back. anyone else? only two issues I have with the phone so far.
also clean installed as well
o yeah. sometimes when out and about and not on wifi I will lose data and have to reboot
I think you should give more info like what rom you are using? Are your apn settings right? What data plan does at&t have you on? etc..
Network Issues ? I guess !
I guess both are somehow Network related issues ! Don't know then ! May be provide us with some more details !
i am on straight talk. and I am still on stock rom.. clean install. apn settings are correct. many years on android I have data and mms
I cant see how it freezing when switching a call be network related? I don't know I could be wrong.
I think there also a thread somewhere with the same issue. when on a call they lose data then when hanging up it comes back. only sometimes it does not come back until a restart. it seems like software issues to me. I am hoping anyway
So i've bought my one plus 6t about 2 months ago and i've had this problem with the internet connection from the beginning. Basically after a period of using it (like 1 hour/1 hour and a half) the connection would stop working, completely... Wifi, data everything would stop working until i rebooted the phone and it got back to normal. After the upgrade to android 10.3.0 the problem seemed to be gone but i discovered later that it just "changed". Now sometimes the connection goes really bad (like doesn't even load a song from spotify) for like 1-5 minutes and than returns normal again; this loop can go on for a lot and it is really annoying.
I don't know what casued this problem in the beginning and why it's happening now. I think there might be a stock problem with the network card but i don't know for sure and i don't know how to check. I already reset the phone once (the partial one that keeps all the photos and data in the phone) after the 10.3.0 upgrade but the problem remains.
If someone knows how to fix this/why this is happening please help me, i really don't know what to do at this point.
I would do backup and factory reset if not you can send to oneplus centre but they will do that before any repairs anyway.
I have had a similar problem on 10.3.1 and at least 1 if not 2 updates prior to the this one.
What happens go for me though, is when at home, (haven't had it happen anywhere else), connected to wifi or not, the phone randomly loses all connection to my sim. It comes back almost instantly but still quite annoying and until this post I haven't heard of it happening to anyone else, not that I have come across, at least.
And I know it's not because of where I'm at in the house or anything cause I've had the phone a year now and the problem just started within the last month or so.
Insight on this would be awesome.
I have also noticed weird connectivity drops to no service and back. that only happens rarely and will restore i seconds. havent annoyed me that much that i needed to do something about it. I travel lots with train, and when this happens on train it seems to have more difficult to connect back. it does eventually but might be enough to drop streaming music from playing.
There is definitely something going on with Oneplus and APNs. (OP7 sms and mms issues etc)
I Recommend doing a full backup with Oneplus Switch and restoring factory defaults. Then you can restore backup. Most likely fixes issue that bad to same condition as ours. if it doesnt, take it to warranty.
