My wife has the Epic 4G and she has this recurring problem with it that is driving her nuts. She gets a notification -- red triangle (with an ! in it) in the notification bar -- that says:
Data roaming
You have lost data connectivity because... (the rest is cut off)
This happens with WiFi on, Roaming Data on or off, and Roaming Guard on or off. Also... we're not roaming, it happens at home, well inside our network. She has the OTA update to FroYo (she got it when they very first started rolling out the first time, before they stopped it).
Anyone else have this problem? Or should I talk to Sprint?
Try updating the PRL. If that doesn't work try reflashing the modem through ODIN.

I have a Vibrant...stock and I haven't received the update yet. Houston, TX area.
For the past 3-4 days, I keep randomly losing my network signal. No 3g, no Edge. Rebooting the phone or putting it in and out of Flight Mode will wake it up. Otherwise I think it would stay dead regardless of what I do or if I move around. I am in normal areas that should have decent 3g signals and have never given me issues before with this phone.
Any ideas? Maybe weird network issues in the area or definitely a problem with the phone itself? Maybe the OTA update will clear it out?

This actually happened to me couple times last night, first when i turned off wifi and 2nd time i was on 3g and suddenly data signal was gone completely
I'm on ji6
Same problem here. I upgraded to froyo and then get back to 2.1. Had a fix drawbacks but it is now working fine until I noticed this problem where the signal is dropped. Sometimes it says that the sim card do not allow to connect to that operator, but when I try a few more times it reconnects. I'm waiting samsung release again froyo to update the phone and try to fix this problem.
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.
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.
For last 5-6 days I had to restart phone about 4 times because of strangely stuck signal. Phone shows full bar, but there is no icon for data connection. And whole phone and data module is stuck, so no incoming/outgoing calls nor internet. Tried to enable airplane mode, no change. When I forced phone to 2g only mode, it showed Edge icon, but still no data. Only solution is full restart.
Took me while to notice and still trying to figure some pattern when it happens, but seems to be random. Only common thing is it happens on the move, because for last 3 days I stayed home sick and signal was fine. Today I took walk and happened twice.
I've noticed this too on my s7e...only happens when I lose data connection...but I can still make calls....subtle difference...
Airplane mode on/off...mobile data on/off doesn't do anything. Only success I've had is with selecting 3G manually , then putting it back to 4G...seems to kick back into life....data symbol pops up immediately
Tried to simulate this at work - went somewhere with zero signal - got the "no entry" sign at the top of screen to say no signal whatsoever...then as soon as I went elsewhere...bang - straight back to H+ connection instantly..
The only difference I can figure is that at home I'm on 4G (at work is H+)...and it looks like the phone has trouble kicking a 4G connection back into life (hence the manual toggle trick).
Try it yourself and see if any of this ties in with your fault.
Same problem here. Airplane isn't helping. So fare only full reboot helped. Will try toggleing network next time.
Very annoying bug.

This used to happen to me, but last week got an update (G935FXXU1APD - UK unbranded carphone warehouse) ...so went to my 2 favourite reception black holes at the weekend (different days) , and when I emerged the phone had connected again to the data network without any manual intervention...update seems to have done something....
December and I've been having this issue since October. The signal has gotten worse with the last update
I just got my G6 and started getting this notification saying voice services and data services are blocked (see screenshot). Not sure if it's from WiFi calling or something else, but data and phone seem to work fine. Anyone know what may be causing this?
Try a different wifi network. It could be a firewall issue.

Reviving an older thread here....
I started getting these notifications a couple weeks ago on my AT&T H871, after about 10 months with the phone. They would sometimes pop up when I'm home where cell service is spotty. When I saw the notifications, I'd notice the "AT&T" label was not being shown and I had 1 bar of network, so I assume my phone had latched onto some non-AT&T tower at the time.
Those notifications were silent, so their biggest impact was just that the big triangle with exclamation mark would take a little attention. But then came Oreo, and they are no longer silent. Yesterday I was working in my yard and they were going off every few minutes.
I would be very happy if someone had some way to avoid this! I'm going to try disabling 2G to see if that makes any difference, but since these notifications can't be blocked, I am kind of stuck with them if I can't keep whatever is causing them from happening.
Edit: I just realized that the Oreo update must have changed my default notification sound away from "Silent", so by changing that back I can at least not hear the notifications.
