Problems with mobilenetwork

Hello guys, i got my Note a week ago, and i have had som problems with the network operator signal. The problem is that phone loses signal every day, and after restart the signal comes back but after (30-40 mins) sometimes longer the signal disapears. It is very annoying. First i thought it was a problem with the sim-card but after testing it on another phone it worked just fine. I never had this kind of problem before, and i dont no what to do. My operator is (Telenor Norway). Thanks for the help.
PS: Sorry if my english is bad, i tried my best

Is it phone signal completely or just data? I have had data connection problem with my SGS2, with factory reset it went away. But I always had my basic phone service.

I had the same issue (only with data connection) and solved it choosing manually the network instead of automatic in settings. No loosing of signal in three days in a row. I hope it helps!

It is the phone signal completly, i did try to set up connection manualy but i did not help. Tho i did not try the factory reset, going to try it now and see what happens. Thanks for the both suggestions.

I have the same problem. Since the day I got my Note, I experienced both phone signal lost and 3G/2G data signal lost. Also tried factory reset and changing data to manual mode but still getting the same problem. Sometime it is the 3G/2G signal lost and some other times both phone and 3G signal lost.
The big problem here is that the moment the signal is lost, it will not automatically resumed. You never noticed it because the phone signal bars is still there running fine up and down. You thought it is okay but in fact no body can call you. You only get to notice it the time when you tried to dial a call out then only you discovered that there is no call signal. Too late - you may missed many important and urgent call !
To get the signal back, the only way is to soft reset your Note.
I get around with the above problem by installing an app called "No Signal Alert" it is free. This app will play a sound and vibrate when there is signal lost.

There's plenty of different radio for note. Try find them in the development section

[Q] defy+ data network woes

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)..

[Q] No Signal, Factory Reset

Guys
any of you had any bother with your mobile signal?
I'm on Vodafone and from this morning my signal bars are empty and I have no mobile signal.
I tried selecting Vodafone and Automatically select from the mobile signal menu, never made any difference.
I did a factory reset of the phone and it worked great, logged into google, restored my apps etc and it was all good
Then 5 minutes ago the same happened again, no signal and nothing I do makes it come back on bar another factory reset???
I've tested my sim in another phone and it is fine, no drop outs, no issues, I hope it's not a faulty phone (
Any one else had similar or can think what would be causing this?
Thanks

UPDATE -
Happened again, no signal bars, no connection
so this time rather than a full factory reset I removed the apps I had reinstalled, which were Spotify, Facebook, Twitter, Tapatalk and Whatsapp, rebooted the phone and my signal is back to full strength again???
Could one of the above apps be the problem?, is that even possible?

Its got to be some software problem.. These apps cannot cause such a problem

thats what I thought.
I've left the apps off for now, and if the signal seems ok after a couple of hours I will start putting the apps back on one by one and see if anything obvious happens.
The only App I thought maybe could cause it would be whatsapp as it ties in with your mobile number.....I'll see what happens throughout the day

happened to me once, all I did was put it into airplane mode and then back out of it again, and all was well

Same thingg happened to me. I'm on tmo though. Its defective. Waiting for replacement

I take it you've all changed your SIM cards to be on the safe side?

My experience is that the signal does have a tendency to drop out in weak reception areas and is slow to pick it back up again. I'm on vodafone in the UK.

I'm on orange and today I had nothing but problems. Dropping signal and everything I am not sure if orange is having problems. Had a HTC one s before never lost the little H above the signal bars.
Should I look at getting a replacement sorted.

I'm having the same problem with T-mobile in the US. It seems to mostly be an issue for me in areas of weak coverage. A reboot or any other way of resetting the phone connection fixes it, but still...

Been happening all day. Even now I have no mobile signal and yet I am on here using mobile data.
Usually a full reset would bring the signal back for a while then it would go again. On one occasion putting it into aeroplane mode then back again worked, but only the once. It looks like I'm taking it back this weekend unfortunately.

i had this issue when i first got the handset on o2, but after a while and me putting the o2 sim in, it picked up signal, swapped out for my orange sim and hey presto started working fine. It's been like that for a week now, but last night the battery died when i was asleep and after a charge this morning, no signal again on my orange sim. I'm in work now so cant swap out for my o2 sim as its at home, but will try and borrow somebody elses sim to test when they get in the office later this morning, Very annoying!

same issue discussed here: CLICK

Just tried another sim, o2 this time. Same issue, so back to shop on Saturday. Question is do I get another one or plump for the sIII or an htc

[Q] Latest Over The Air Update Issues - Sound Off

ok i have recieved my second, sgh-i337 build number kot49h.i337UCUFNC1 Kernel is Now 3.4.0-1125940, from assurion with the same issue. it seems that after the latest OTA update my mobile network fails randomly throughout the day. I cannot use web, if i try to make a call it gets stuck "dialing" and cant even end the call. I try to turn on airplane mode and airplane mode gets stuck between on and off. PS half the time this happens i show full bars but no 4g or E or any network designation the other half i show no service. i know its not where i am by the way, this is testing it in the known full bar location of my house, and downtown at my work, where i also have full bars.
So people sound off if this update screwed over your phone too. also any suggestions are welcome.

Losing mobile network

I have a stock t-mobile s7 edge device. It's losing the mobile network. I've noticed it a couple of months ago - it happened a few times but recently the problem is getting worse. It already happened 3 times this week.
Seems like completely random. Sometimes I notice it after I go somewhere with weak signal or no signal at all. Sometimes when I get back to an area with good signal it reconnects and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it shows the bars and says it's connected to t-mobile but 4g doesn't show up at all. So you can call but no internet. Sometimes no signal at all.
When it happens the only way to connect is to reboot the phone. Nothing else helps. If you try to connect to network manually - it can find t-mobile but unable to connect. just spins. Changing from lte to 3g or 2g also doesn't work.
I even tried to create a new APN - same thing.
Please heeeeelp...........

Last time this happened to me on another device, it was the sim card that had a problem. Have you tried with another SIM card?

No, but I don't believe it's a sim card related problem. Wife's phone has the same problem although less frequently. But she also travels less.
It looks like a configuration / firmware or maybe hardware issue to me.

I'm experiencing the same issue. It seems to happen when the phone loses signal completely like when deep inside a building. Then it won't reconnect to data or the network by itself.
From the first moment when I got my edge back in April I noticed that the radio performance was weaker than other phones. Then I got the Note 7 and same issue again. Then back to an s7 edge and the problem seems to be worse on this one specially after the latest software update.

My wife (s7) and me (s7 edge), as well as a co-worker (s7) are having this same issue.
Before it was happening occasionally, but after the last update its happening WAY more often.
Wiping cache seems to help with frequency, but still did not eliminate the problem. Hopefully it gets fixed with an update. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to put up with it.
Edit: I forgot to add a "simple" fix I've found that works almost all the time is to turn off mobile data, turn on airplane mode, turn off airplane mode, wait for signal, then turn on mobile data. Those steps in that exact order work for me most of the time.

So I've been having the same issues as everyone stated. The only fix is to reboot the phone, but who wants to that every time. I even changed the sim card!! I wish T-Mobile would get out of their feelings and start selling more flagship phones.
I have made the decision to jump to LG V20. I hope this issue doesn't exist with the LG.

I've just got my s7 edge and I'm sort of having same problem at home got 2 bars and sometimes goes to 4 bars but also wen I called someone the line was crackling but person said could her me fine so done a wiped cache and think it's sorted it now for the time being
(Edit ~ it's done it again could hardly hear person I was talking to)
