I just got my 3g sim from o2 and have been trying to use it all day. in IE it usually starts off fine but after a few web pages, I just get "Locating..." in the status bar and i cannot get any data transferred without resetting. The exec still thinks it is connected and has a good signal.
The problem isnt confined to IE either, it happens with Msn too.
Has anybody else experienced this? or better still does someone know how to fix this?
Thanks
Allan.
Same has started hapening to me, looks like signal keeps dropping then picking back up. strange :/
I think I may give o2 a phone and see what they have to say about it.
Allan
i have spoken today about this issue to an o2 advisor, a after checking my post code and admiting that i am in the covered area they suggested to try having a look at the signal strength in other areas, and if it the signal will remain weak, that may be the issue with the Headset or the SIM itself.
I didn't see any difference in the 3G signal strength no matter where i go, so that could be the sim.
I just dont want to think that the issue could be in the phone itself :-(((
I had purchased a second hand o2 xda neo. It had wm 5 on it . I updates it with wm 6.1 roms available here.I find that the gsm reception is very poor inside my home.I dont know whether this happened after the update. In my office it is quite good. Even when I am outside i have no problem. Only in my home the signal is very weak. can this be corrected by some registry tweaks or some software. or is it a hardware problem. and if so can i get it repaired. pls help...
what rom are you using and what radio was recommended for use with it. Sounds like a radio issue to me but plz tell me rom and radio. you can experiment using different radios found on the wiki to see whatworks best.
you can flash different radios without loosing data on the device.
I have tried with 2.19, 2.47, 2.69 roms. but no effect. I am trying today 2.07 let me see if that helps. Does IPL/SPL effect the singnal strength?
mmm it might be just one of those things, in that there is interferance within your house (my house is made from granite so reception is very poor), if recpetion is good elsewhere it is unlikely to be radio.
Is there 3G network there? The quality of service on 3G can be unpredictable at best of times.
Signal is not effected by IPL/SPL to my knowledge.
The results of 2.07.20 radio rom. It shows good signal but i feel that it does not update it when the signal is poor. In my office signal is good. So it showed full strength. I went home. There too it showed full strength. when i did soft rest to clear my doubt the signal was poor as in previous roms. Do you think that the antenna has some problem. Can it be replaced. i find an opening above the mirror( near the camers lens) for car antenna. Can this help? if so how?. 3G network is not available in my country(INDIA)
hey,
i think u might have to accept that the signal is just crap in your house... a bummer i know, but if youve tried various radios and signal is good elsewhere, it cant be the internal ariel.
have u tried flashing another rom, more recent build?
Not sure it will help but you never know... at the end of the day, signal is never constant in any one place.
But friend. The signal is good in other phones. If the signal is crap then it should affect other phones too.
I should have also said that the signal is never constant betwenn too phones in the same place. It depends on antenna hardware and the location of it, like signal is reduced whislt making a call if you place your hand and fingers in the wrong place.
I think it unlikely that is a hardware issue if your signal is fine in other areas. Sorry my friend i dont know what else to suggest having tried radios and roms.
The prophet is getting a little long in the tooth now, so be time for an update?
I have HTC desire HD for almost one month but from time to time it loose data connection. If it would drop from 3g to EDGE or even GPRS than I would understand. But it loose signal completely and even restarting phone doesnt help. I am using Android Revolution HD 1.4 ROM.. After few hours I get reception back. Any idea how to figure out where is a problem? I am afraid that is problem hw problem anyone experienced same problem? My old HTC Touch Diamond with same SIM and on same location gets signal though. BTW telephone signal strenght is 91 dBm 11asu and it says type of mobile network: HSDPA
thanks
if it software i think the only thing you could do is flash another radio img to fix it but that's a very risky process to do and high chance you can brick your phone. if you always had the problem from very start and had another 3g phone work in same location. i would say it has to be hardware problem an take your phone back from were you got it or send it to HTC to get repaired. im in u.k an i get around the same signal strength as you but never lose signal all together unless in location i can't get a signal. only other thing you could check is your battery cover as someone mentioned if that's not on right you lose signal?? don't know how right that is.
Dear Friends,
has some who owned note 4 faced a continuous loosing data connection?
I have been facing this issue for the passed one week till now, I have tried to format the device but the problem is still there, I have not done anything to the device.
I called my ISP and they said that there is no problem with your sim card.
please advise if anyone of you had similar issue.
thanks

I've just experienced this today on my 1 day old N910C, I'm on 4G and suddenly earlier today my 4G mobile data indicator disappeared but it still showing the usual signal bars. Tested browsing, no mobile data it said. Tried putting it to Airplane mode then back to normal, didn't bring mobile data back. Rebooted it, then it's working again.
Not yet to see this problem but my friend's Note 4 had this problem. In the end he brought it to the service center and they replace the mainboard. Still wait and see if it fixes the problem.
it happened me before on other samsung devices too. generally an update fixes it but could be hardware problem too.
Hopefully its software related ive seen a slew of note 4s have this issue both variants included.. its annoying to say the least
Hi, I just got my phone, may i know whether you guys have resolved the issues?? i need to turn the flight mode on and off a few times to get the data connection back online
I sent back to Samsung services center, it seems that they said they reprogram the software. Will observe and see how it goes.
Mines all good now few updates and new provider all good ?
Hi guys, I've experienced the same issue, the mobile data connection suddenly drops (H+ icon doesn't disappear but the download arrow is off, meaning that there's no inbound traffic) and the only way to have the connection back is to to disable mobile data and than reactivate it. I've updated my phone, I even tried to install firmwares of other countries (different csc) and to change carrier but I haven't solved the problem (same situation on my friend's N4).
Hi
i had a problem with wifi. weak or no connection.
100% solution for my note:
go to settings=>location=>use GPS ONLY.
perhaps it solves also your problem...
Hello all! Just faced the same problem! Losing internet connection. Did anyone find a solution?
Note 4
Yes this is BS. If I go to a place with no data service, then travel back to a place with data service, I have to first disable then re-enable the "Mobile Data" toggle in the settings. It's such BS that this is happening. My note 3 NEVER has this problem. Starting to dislike Samsung's buggy releases.
Same issues..

----- got same problem here.. keep drop the signal.. until fedup already.. can someone solve this thing? Need answer.. T_T
Any news on topic? I'm facing with internet on mobile connection, even if bars are full and LTE sign is visible.
I've also noticed some lack of signal during usage, even if I'm constantly in city.
Hello everyone!
I am having a very hard time diagnosing an issue with my Nexus 6P. Android 7.1.1 Angler-03.78 Build: N4F26T on AT&T unlocked. My network keeps dropping consistently. It works fine for about 5-7 minutes after a reboot or after toggling Airplane Mode. It goes on to attach itself to LTE and then subsequently drops to HSDPA/3G and then just outright loses network. It intermittently then comes back but usually hangs on to HSDPA/3G and the voice quality and data speed are just terrible.
I tried the SIM in my old Galaxy nexus (which doesn't support LTE unfortunately) and the network didn't drop. So I am convinced something is going on with the phone. This issue crept up this last Monday (03/26) and has been going on ever since. Has anyone had similar issues? If not, could anyone tell me how to diagnose this issue before I have to send it to Huawei? Because I am not very keen on sending away the only proper handset I have.
Thanks
I had a similar problem on Cricket, which uses AT&T's network. I never had good cell coverage in my apartment but it suddenly got so bad that I could only make and receive calls in certain rooms. Cricket wasn't able to diagnose the issue and I ended up switching my service to Project Fi. The problem completely went away. I now have a strong cell signal with full bars everywhere in my apartment. I'm not sure that sending your phone back to Huawei will actually solve anything but good luck.

Oh, I can't switch from my carrier. And this particular issue just started occurring this week. I have been reading a few threads with different radio versions. I wonder if that will help.

This is a known issue just this month I experienced it myself, Try flashing different radios I was on 03.78 and had signal drop issues 03.72 and 03.75 have had the best results.
I flashed radio 3.7.5 and it did zip for me. I was on Sprint where I never had any problems and switched to AT&T when I got the 6P and never got more than half the bars strength when the service was actually working. After I switched to Project Fi I am usually on the T-Mobile network and get full bar strength 100% of the time at home. If I use Signal Spy to manually switch to Sprint I still get full bar strength in every room in my apartment. This is with the exact same radio that I had problems with on AT&T. I don't know if the 6P doesn't play nice with certain networks or if those networks provide inferior coverage but Verizon users have had notorious problems with this phone that caused Google to issue a separate radio just for them. Verizon customers are the ones who claimed to benefit from flashing radio 3.7.5. I have never heard of that actually helping anyone else and it definitely didn't help me. If the problem is partly with your network then sending the phone back to Huawei won't make any difference. You can try flashing a different radio but in the end you might have to switch carriers and if you can't do that you might need to switch to a phone that your carrier actually recommends.

It's strange because this happened just this week. It was fine before this week. Everything worked, I got proper signal strength and the connection never dropped. Now on my commutes I can see there is no network when I am driving, no maps, no spotify nothing.

Okay, I guess that's what I am doing today. I haven't modded my phone in any way, I am still on stock android. I am going to have to start by unlocking bootloader and flashing TWRP.
Good luck. I was in the same boat. It just stopped working but there was no Rom update that could have caused a problem.

Where do I find the old versions? This thread doesn't have the old versions anymore. 03.79 doesn't resolve the issue.
EDIT: I used 03.75 and that doesn't do it either. Time to try 03.72. I am so disheartened.

Why not go to AT&T first, let them know about your issue and have them provision a new SIM for your phone (free). I seriously doubt a different radio is going to solve your problem, but if you want to try there is a dedicated thread in General for flashable bootloader/radio zips, but you would be better served installing ADB/Fastboot on your PC and using fastboot to flash them yourself. The latest radio is 03.81 (from 7.1.2) The stock image files on Google contain the radio and bootloader img files. If the new SIM doesn't fix it, you may end up backing up your data and doing a factory reset.

Okay the latest factory ROM didn't work, I did a complete wipe and a factory reset. I will go to AT&T tomorrow and see if a new sim helps (I doubt it because this SIM works fine in my backup phone Galaxy Nexus but I can't verify LTE with that).
I don't know what my options will be after this. I feel like I am spending more time maintaining my phone instead of using it. Just disappointed, that's all.

Yeah, I found it. Thank you. None of the versions helped though
I've been experiencing signal problems when downgrading which is not your case. But I got it solved by performing a factory reset. It's fairly straightforward once you have backed up your data. Worth a try?
Similar problem here I think I have found part of the problem
I have been having a similar problem ever since a recent update. I have tried everything found in this post. Recently I tried turning off my wifi and noticed the problem seems to go away. I have done a few searches to see if anyone has reported no phone with wifi on, none of the results so far have been very helpful.
Since I don't want to be without wifi, I have gone into the developer options and turned on cellular data always active, to see if this helps, so far this is working for me.

I did try that but it didn't work unfortunately. I called up Google and they sent me a refurb which was DOA but then later they sent me a new one which works just fine. So it was definitely a hardware issue on my old phone. I don't plan on updating my software because I just want this phone to work like a phone.

It happened either way. Wifi status didn't affect my issue. It used to die out completely. Google just sent me a new replacement (after a DOA refurb) and it seems to be holding. But I am not upgrading to 7.1.1 because I feel the issue might crop up again. So I am going to stick to 6.0 for now.
Update on my status
So far having wifi off has worked, until I ran Waze and then both GPS and Networking down till I quit and turned Airplane mode on and off. The previous change to Developer setting did not work.
I have been debating going back down to 6.*, has anyone had good results with this?
