I've had my Galaxy Note for a few months now with no issues, all of a sudden last week it would show the H logo (but the little arrows showing data conntection would not move). but when I clicked on anything I would not have any sort of internet connection. I have to restart the phone to get internet connection again, I was on a new rom for over a week before it started happening, I tried 2 other roms since then and still have the same issue. I am about to try a stock rom and see if it still happens. I have also tried different kernels, is there anything else I should try? I show full bars for phone signal and still receive texts (not mms) normally when this happens but no data at all until I restart my phone.
Do you have any "power saving" apps like juicedefender? If you do, you may want to check your settigns as it could be disabled by said app (although you should be able to reconnect at any given time).
You said you have switched roms to see if the issue persisted. When you did this, did you full wipe or just wiped cache?

I've been having similar problems with a few of the custom roms (but can't remember if stock does it or not). In my case I'd lose data for about 5-10, then it would come back, and it randomly happened. I fortunately don't have to restart the phone to fix the issue like you do though. :\ Let me know if the stock rom fixes things!

I don't have juice defender or anything like that... even when i restart my phone, it takes forever for it to catch data, right now i restarted it, its been probably on for a good 3-4 min and still not showing any data.
I always full wipe when I install a new rom.
and it finally came on after a reset but usually data shows the second the phone turns on, this time it took it a good 5 minutes before the H appeared
I would suggest restoring to your first backup after you rooted your phone and see how it goes with the stock rom. Good luck!

Hi guys,
I tried to do a search but didn't find anything that worked...
I've been recently losing my 3g/1x data connection a lot for long periods of time (30 min or more). It's annoying since I can't check my e-mail, or listen to Pandora, basically all the things I got this phone for since I'm limited to what I can do on my computer at work.
Anyway, is there a bizarro fix for this? I've tried rebooting the phone, airplane mode on/off, and updating my profile. I remember with my old medium intelligence phone I could tell it to check my e-mail or something and trick it into waking up the data but no such luck as the phone complacently accepts there's a connection error.
Thanks in advance!
You may want to try letting folks know if you are running stock or a custom rom, which one it is and what modem version. Whenever I run into strange issues with my phone that isn't attributed to the rom I'm running, I just ODiN back and reflash through the process and that usually takes care of most problems. G'luck.
I have noticed mine does that too occasionally. Turning 4g on and then back off usually makes 3g start working again for me.
In my case my phone sometimes has trouble finding 3g after using wifi for a while, toggling 4g almost always makes 3g work again.

Oh right! I'm just on the stock rom.
Toggling 4g and wifi doesn't work for me. Thanks for the suggestion though.
It happens more at work so it probably has something to do with that. I generally always end up roaming but I haven't had trouble in the past with using roaming data. It still says unlimited on the Sprint account website and will come back every once and a while. (I know because it'll notify me of new mail or something random.)
are you in an area of low reception? that could cause it but not sure if there is a work around for it...
this same thing happens to my wife's epic.but not regularly..
I updated the prl and seems to stopped doing it,,
I was having the same issue coming out of Airplane mode. The 3G was coming back sporadically and then not at all. I called Sprint support and they had me do a phone Restore through the service menu ##3282# (you need your MSL) and it reset the phone like it was going through the activation process. It wasn't a factory reset so I didn't have to reinstall any apps. It did work the first time but after that it started happening again.
I finally went into the Sprint store and they did a hard reset, which is the same as a factory reset (I think) Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset. That was a couple of days ago and I haven't had the problem since.
Unfortunately, this requires completely wiping out your installed apps. I was on the stock rom and unrooted so I hadn't backed up with Titanium Backup (needs root). But I did use AppBak to backup my list of apps so that it was easier to restore them from the Market. If anyone knows a way to backup and restore similar to Titanium, that doesn't require root, let me know.
I was having the same problem with mine and nothing worked so they gave me another one. If it's that bad call sprint tech or take it they will probably give you another one

I use "Sprite Mechanic" for backing up my APK's to SD card. It only recognizes market and 3rd party installed apps. Can be found in the market for free.

So my girlfriend's Nexus S has been losing the entire voice and data network and going into no service mode, no biggie at first, just cycle airplane mode, then it went on to rebooting because you would select airplane mode from the power off menu but it would not check the box in the wireless settings menu.
After the reboot the box would show checked and airplane mode could be disabled and the service would resume. The the phone started getting stuck in airplane mode and not even rebooting it would bring it out the first few times, then it got to the point of resetting the phone, a wipe cache/data reset didn't fixed it. So off to T-Mobile for a new sim card. Rebooted the network immediately. And as of last night its back in full force and now not even a new sim will resurrect the network.
Have tried wiping, reflashing stock 2.3.3, new sim again, multiple resets, had to get an toggle widget to get it out of airplane mode and still a dead network, all this time the network in the *#*#4636#*#* menu showing unknown and is not able to be changed and reverts back to unknown immediately, OEM specifics settings button is greyed out and you are not able to disable the radio either.
While I'm going to call Samsung on Monday and I guess send the phone off, I worry about mine because it too does it but only once a month or so, but I do constantly have issues resurrecting the phone from airplane mode at times because the box will not be checked in the wireless settings menu but I can see the airplane instead of network bars, problem persists with reboots sometimes.
I also would like to add that even when the box is not checked in the wireless settings menu for airplane mode, if you click it it just hangs forever and will try to select but never will and stays grey like its turning everything off, but if the scren goes off its like you never tried.
Has anyone else seen this? I have seen a lot of people with data network issues or having to reboot to get voice network back but nothing as bad as I'm experiencing.
Both our phones are and have been completely stock and unmodified.
Thankfully we still have her Vibrant and in case I need to send mine in my Nexus One.

Have you tried restoring from another persons' pre-made nandroid backup?
This over-writes the radio firmware, you should give it a go!
I also found that I had problems on 2.3.3, however reverting to 2.3.2 gave me no problems!
Just contact me if you need any help restoring from a nandroid backup or finding the 2.3.2 backup files

Is that true? I am just on the verge of calling samsung. My phone won't connect to or display any available networks, and is pretty much now dumbed down to a small tablet. I've tried everything except another persons nandroid backup. I've been told to stay away from flashing another persons... but I'm really desperate.
If you could provide me with a backup, that would be awesome.
I'm having identical problem.
It was working fine yesterday, look back to it and now it's got no mobile network, nothing. Just the no bars and cross symbol. I've tried wiping dalvik cache, reflashing the radio, wiping data/factory reset, reflashing the rom, restoring with a backup (Backup of when I first rooted the phone) and still no signal. Nothing has worked..
Anyone got ideas on how to fix this issue?

Can you search for and view available networks?
This sounds like the CM7 powerwidget problem (3g/2g) I used it and I loss all network, phone process will crash every second, however if your phones are stock I can't think in anything causing it.
For CM7 you'll have to reflash and delete userdata or edit the sql database for the providers and change a value to 0, but you need root.
When I went to *#*4636.... my preferred service was "unknown" too, but now it is OK.
Try to dail:
*#*#4636#*#*
and find your network information.

Nope. Sits their 'searching' but nothing shows up.
In, *#*#4636#*#*, it gives little to no information. Just says nothing for current network and for GSM disconnects it has,
Sate: DvInactiveState
disconnected with last try
at 9:59AM
fail because No Error
And that time never changes, stays at 9:59AM.
As my above post suggested, I've tried doing a factory reset and reflashing. I don't think I use CM.. I flashed with Oxygen 2.1.6 (using it's kernel) but I restored to Oxygen rom and trinity kernel after it didn't work.

That is the EXACT same problem I have. I too was using Oxygen 2.1.6 and lost all connectivity. I've just locked my bootloader and flashed back to stock ready to send for repairs. That rom must be doing something >.>
Oh no
I didn't want to send it back D:

I've been trying *everything* for last past few days. Nothing is working. That shouldn't stop you from trying though. Just stay well away from ODIN and those i9023 files, I've seen bad things.

Ok, it'd be great if you worked something out. I'm so glad i'm not the only person with this issue!
Anyone had any breakthroughs? *hopeful*
I wouldn't call it a breakthrough but I got somewhere!
Ended up putting a extremely thin piece of wire into the external antenna port at the back of the phone. Wasn't too keen on doing this, but my phone now has reception isn't stuck at the dreaded -113dbm.
The reception isn't good, but it's enough to send texts and have calls.
Although the area needs quite good reception for me to receive anything, and it's extremely sensitive. To get 3 bars in a place where I usually get full bars, I have to be outside. While inside it's reduced to none or 1 bar, which is enough to send/receive texts and a sort of lagging phone call (did a few tests). As mentioned before extremely sensitive. The phone seems to like it better when it's up-right. In the middle of the CBD at Brisbane I get full reception and 3G, which is fine but in the places where you usually get 2 bars, you get no signal at all, unless you're outside.
So this is hardly a fix. I will most likely be sending it to Samsung to get it actually fixed. Either that or get it fixed the same day and pay probably close to $100 so I don't have to wait 2 months waiting for Samsung to twiddle their thumbs.
Thats awesome! But I'm going to post mine off to Samsung USA tomorrow, which will take forever considering international shipping. Where could you get it fixed same-day? I'm going to try this wire thing
So it can't be a software issue, but maybe the rom overloaded the antenna and fried it or something? I'm glad we've got that far.
I've seen that nexus s has a problem like the iphone, the antenna gate. Try take the phone with the left hand looking to no touch the rear of the softkeys

Its more serious than that my friend! Thanks anyway
I got a quote from a place in Brissy called "FixMyMobile" and they said if they can fix it, it will cost $99. Although I'll get quotes from different places (if I find them) and see what they charge however I don't think I will be able to get cheaper, most likely around the same price..
So I may do that to not wait the ridiculous time it will take to get it back from Samsung.. Not sure on places in NZ though.
Yeah it seems like a hardware issue definitely. I eventually reverted the phone back to stock everything and it still happened, so that there shouts hardware issue.
Not too sure what happened but ill explain the best I can. This morning I woke up, checked After about 15 minutes of use, I realized that I was no longer able to send any texts. Powered the phone off and back on, and now it says "No Service". However I am in a place where I usually get completely fine service. I have tried rebooting through the OS, pressing the yellow reset button, pulling the battery, and hard resets in clockwork mod as well as Magldr. In Clockwork, Ive tried wiping all user data multiple times, and flashed 3 different roms. Still nothing.
Currently I am on a MIUI rom (MIUI-NDT Stable v2.2) with a 2.15.50.14 radio. Ive gone through about 7 roms with this phone and have never had an issue like this pop up.
I tried the Hardware fix, and that did nothing.
After messing with network settings, and selecting t-mobile manually, then switching it back to automatic, I now have full bars, but still no data, and am unable to make a call or do anything for that matter.

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
Hello, I am using Sprint S4 with Triforce rom updated to 3.1. I have used the Agat and Ktoonez kernels with same result. What happens is i will have 3g service (bars) but the 3G icon disappears and i dont have service. 30% of the time i can reboot the phone and get it back but other times i have to boot into TWRP and wipe cache and dalvik cache and it will work for a little while. I notice it happens more if i travel but also when not. I have ODIN back to scratch and put Triforce back on but same thing. I was also having random reboots but the Agat kernel seems to have fixed that.
thanks
I would also like to know the answer to this....I live in Tampa and have the Negalite ROM and I notice my 3g will just drop in my house and this never happened before with my 3Devo......
To add to this i have noticed when this issue occurs and if i go into a area with 4g that works fine. But once i leave the area and it switches back to 3g it drops again.
Try ##72786#, that will do a full network reset. It won't wipe data or anything. It will however reboot a couple of times.

I had similar problem and it solved it for me for good, however my problem was a bit different. Hopefully it clears things up for you also.
That didnt work, i was on the way home this evening and checked and had full bars but could not call or send receive data/texts.
