i have a variation on the data network problems, not as annoying as reboots,
but getting close.
normally i am on GSM only, as my data needs are low and it extends
battery life. for hours, everything is dandy. then i notice that
the "G" icon and the signal bar are not blue anymore (stock theme)
but grey. 'settings' say i am still data "connected", but in fact
data connection is out (the operating system thinks there is
data connection, browsers and mail clients keep spinning and
trying until timeout).
turning on and off wifi makes the phone try to connect to the data
network again. sometimes this works, but more often that not, i have
to switch to 3G mode for this to work, and sometimes even that does
not help, and i have to go airplane mode to turn the radio on and off
completely. otherwise it just tries and tries and tries to reconnect,
draining the battery like crazy, and sometimes resulting in these
mysterious reboots others are experiencing as well.
is this the phone or a network problem? (tmobile in the netherlands)
i was on the same network, same SIM with an older LG android phone
and i dont recall having this problem, so i am a bit hesitant
to blame the network for every outage...
should i just send it back for repairs/replacement?
system version: 45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE
baseband: EPU93_U_00.60.00
for a while i will keep the phone in 3G mode to see if the same
problem exists. as my mobile data needs are low, it would be
a shame if i cannot keep it in GSM mode because of this...
I had the same problem couple of months back but since I'm on msginger don't have that enjoying problem anymore.
Ohh and as far as remember it was only when the battery was on maximum save, now I'm using custom and it's fine

i am on custom saving mode. i think that the saving modes, where
the data connection is cut off after some inactivity, just flesh out
the problem more, as trying to connect back to the data network
happens more often then during normal use, when data connection
is kept alive all the time.
since i set the connection mode to 3G or better, i did not have the problem
but that was only a couple of hours ago. sometimes a day goes by
without manifesting itself...
I'm on 2G all the time. And the custom saving still got set up for cutting the data off but i don't seem to have that problem anymore i can check later on if it would still appear on max saving.

so after days, it seems like i cannot reproduce these problems
while on 3G. seems like 2G only for data is not 100% reliable
either because of the phone or the network itself, or both.
pitty.
i m having problems with network reception with the 7.2 CM rom on the defy+.tried the baseband switcher in this link but still little or no reception
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203297
i have been on 3G last couple of days, and no data woes.
however i had a spontaneous reboot, so the reboot problem
is seemingly not only a 2G issue (if it is)..

Is anyone else here having similar problems with the radio on their HD2? Mine seems to crap out severely when it comes to 3G. I have notice dhtat just about every time the phone is powered on, it will turn the data connection in the settings off by default regardless of It's state when the phone was previously powered on.
Also, I have noticed sometimes the phone will sporadically switch out of 3G mode and into phone only mode and I must go into the settings menu and re-enable it.
Also, Sometimes (The phone has done this twice today so far), the phone will still indicate that it is in 3G mode but when I attempt to browse the web it will return a page cannot be found error and the only way to fix this is to go into settings, disable and then re-enable the data connection.
My current radio version is 2.08.50.08_2. Is there something better out there?
I had the same problem with the data connection shutting off. I downloaded HD2Tweak and it helped keep it on.

It's been a while, but I think I got it here. It was the English version.
http://www.montecristoff.com/hd2tweak.htm
Under "4. Data", I turned on Internet, MMS and Data to be on permanently. Worked like a charm. First day, I had 13 hours straight of data connection. Before using HD2Tweaks, I never had more than 20-30 minutes.
I've noticed today the 3G connection went from full bars to none and also no phone bars.. and it reconnected again.
Sometimes it will not reconnect to signal for a while after I leave underground train station.
In areas of weak-medium signal strength, I've noticed it switch between E and 3G a lot and drain battery much faster.
The signal reception is generally excellent in the city, except if inside a building with thick walls, so I don't understand why it has signal issues when outside.
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.
hi, sometimes when i look at my phone, usually after being on wifi the phone shows no bars.
sometimes it comes back on in a min, i tried airplane mode but it wouldnt work. so i restarted it and worked fine.
not sure why it happens, does anyone else have this? could it be due to some Wifi calling setting? not sure why phone seems to just cut off.
anyone have any idea why this may be happening?
does it turn off radio for wifi calling somehow or? just random.
I have a similar issue, but not equal. Sometimes, when I try to connect to the network I always do (home), it simply doesn't work. Scanning - disconnected - scanning - disconnect. Only a phone reset fixes this.
Sheep ROM 2.0
AbyssNote Kernel 2.5
I had a similar issue a while ago and sent Mine back to the seller but the seller claimed neither they nor Samsung could find a problem with the phone. Thankfully The seller sent me a replacement which no longer gives me this problem so it may be the handset, though it could also be the setting/Conflicting app. Someone reported here his problem Was solved after adjusting a w ifi regulating app
i have a 3-day old gnote and i started noticing this problem after i have my phone rooted. the wifi icon stays on but there's no internet connection. turning the screen off and waking the phone after a minute solves the problem but its annoying to be losing connection when you're needing it. i'm on stock KKA.

Not a user error so need to contact Samsung-don't think is anyway
I have a somewhat similar problem. When I am using wifi for somewhat long time, I am unable to connect back to my 3g. Or if I was on 3g connection and I move out of coverage area for a little more than 10 minutes, I can't reconnect to 3g. Only 3g connection has this problem though, everything else works fine.
If I restart the phone, I can reconnect. Setting to airplane mode and resetting doesn't help. Neither does resetting the mobile network operators.
Yes, the problem seems to be software related since there is no actual problem with receiving 3g/phone.
yesterday i drove back 10 hrs and streamed music/radio the entire way with only a few tiny interruptions in reception.
but often still if i just take my phone out of my pocket, the "phone" part will be off and usually turn back on within 1-2 mins.
but this is quite annoying since sometimes il literally be waiting for 1-2 mins to place a call.
my phone is "not" rooted.
Hi, I'm currently experimenting with TMT Rom 1.2 (been using Midnote since i first got my Note a month and a half ago, trying several versions)
I noticed something with all ICS roms I tried, data connection works fine until I'm in a low coverage area (mostly at work or home, big building where i can hardly get a signal) when I leave for/from work, as soon as I'm on the street, I don't get any Data Connection, with some modems i would even get a "not registered on network" when attempting a call, even with full signal bars
The only fix that gives me data connection back is to restart the phone, that works every time, sometimes by playing with the 3g/2g/auto settings, which also behave erratically (sometimes i cant switch from one to the other) i can get it to work, but most of the times I need to reboot.
Has anyone encountered this issue with ICS or even GB roms?
I have exactly the same issue, now running CM9.
I just can get back the connection by rebooting the note

It happens with me as well. Since using 3G data shoots up l2_hsic wakelocks, I usually switch it off while not using. Unfortunately, that toggle doesn't work after twice or thrice and I need to reboot to get my data connection back. Surprisingly, it never happened with me on GB before. I was and am using stock Samsung ROMs without root.

For me the issue seems gone for a couple of months now. No issues with Criskelo's ROMS or the latests versions of TMT Rom
This is my 3rd Sprint S4 over the past few months. All of the devices are loosing the 3g icon but will show bars. Voice and text works fine, data and 4g does not, i have noticed it usually happens when i leave a WiFi area and it has trouble switching back over to cell data. I can reboot the phone and about 80% of the times it will return to normal. I have used odin to reload to factory. I had my phone rooted only and recently install the Triforce rom to see if it was a software or Kernel issue. Same thing is happening on that rom as well. It doesnt matter where i am so i dont beleive its a tower issue. Any idea?
This happens to me as well. Just Sprint being crappy. Try turning airplane mode on and off, same effect as a reboot but faster.
I tried the airplane mode toggle but didnt seem to fix it. If i use even the "Hot reboot" option in triforce rom that doesnt fix it either.
Assuming this this is the same issue I always experience, there is no fix. It's a network thing. Is there 4G in your area?
What happens to me is my phone will be on 3G, then start receiving 4G, but it doesn't recognize that the data service is now different, so nothing works for 15+ minutes or until I toggle airplane mode on/off.
I take it you've tried just turning WiFi off?
Haha, yea, welcome to Sprint. Enjoy losing data when it's least convenient (such as when you need to use navigation or missed your exit and need to be rerouted). Oh well, the price we pay for unlimited data, right?
I have noticed the same thing since I activated my LTE radio. LTE is expanding in my area so I constantly go in and out of 3G and LTE service. Sometimes when this happens data just ****ing stops working until I enter airplane mode and then come back out of it (a reset works as well). For some reason (or it is just a coincidence) The problem has amplified since installing 4.3. Has anyone else noticed an increase in this problem since upgrading? This is absolutely a Sprint problem? Do we know that people have this same issue with other Sprint phones?
I have the same problem. From wifi to f data takes a little bit of time for it to switch over especially since the data toggle is gone with the 4.3 update. Unlimited plan is water downed from my experience compared to tmoblie. But tmoblie service was horrible.

Well Sprint's speed has always been an issue for most of us. That is no surprise. I at least expect to to work AT ALL which apparently it is incapable of doing recently.

If wifi is on 3g/4g is not there,, turn off wifi and you should see icon,, if you see bars it's most likely working :sly:
Edit just re read your post, I have the same issues sometimes and as posted above toggling on and off typical works for me,, good luck
Also is your network set to
CDMA/LTE/EVDO? Just throwing out ideas

I get this issue all the time & I have to do a battery pull to get my phone working again. Anyone flash a new modem which fixes this? The SGS4 is 10x worse than my HTC EVO 3D was with this issue.

Seems like a hardware problem based on your description. I am fully convinced that this whole flashing modems things is just a feel-good measure for people who have exhausted all other options. It was big in the Galaxy S2 days, but I have never seen any measurable difference between modems in any meaningful metric on that device. At least not one that could not be attributed to other factors such as signal quality and network load, and nothing consistent. A different modem isn't going to fix a hardware fault or magically improve Sprint's awful service.
