Hey!
I have found a really weird issue since (officially) updating to lollipop (N910C, BOC3). Initially, mobile data worked fine, but after a day or two I noticed, that after going off of wifi, I only got edge connection. I rechecked the settings, restarted the phone but the phone just doesn't go past edge (to 3g or hsdpa; no lte yet for me).
So I then chose to hard reset my phone, wipe cache and reinstall everything. At first, everything went fine and I had H+ connection, no problem. I tried to enable/disable wifi and mobile data a couple of times, but all seemed fine. Today (after 1 day), I noticed again that mobile data is stuck on EDGE.
As far as I remember, everything worked fine on 4.4.4. I even rechecked my sim and settings on my old XperiaZ, where H+ works normally.
Any ideas?
Best regards and ty.
Update: After messing around, I found that by setting the network to wcdma only, allowed the phone to connect to 3g. This means that when left on automatic network mode, the phone choses 2g network and won't switch to 3g even if it is available... Do you guys know a setting where you can tell it to preferentially chose 3g, while on the auto network mode? P.S. I don't have any battery saving options turned on...
Bump... No one knows how to set preferred connection type?
Are you in a room when you are testing? Have you tried to go outside, and while you are connected to edge or H/H+ , open up your internet browser and go to a website and watch your connection if it changes to LTE or 4G...
There is an app that can do what you are asking but you have to root your device in order for it to work... I can't remeber what it's called and I know someone will chime in...

Thanks for your suggestion. I am not rooted yet and will try to keep it that way for a little while yet... will see how long i'll last xD
Manual mode will have to suffice for now, seeing as rooting is the only option. Might be a carrier setting related problem =/

My mobile data was working fine. One day ago I did Lollipop 5.1 update and since then I am seeing exclamation mark next my signal and mobile data stopped working. There are lot of threads on same issue but no solution
June 7th, 2015
UPDATE: The solution to the problem is to turn on DATA ROAMING option. It is strange but mobile data only works if data roaming is turned on too, irrespective of whether you are in roaming or not. I am using Vodafane (INDIA)
Guys, please your help I bought a S5, and data connection for mobile network works like for 1 - 10 minutes but after that there is no more connection (even data H+ or 4G symbol appears)
I tried different mobile operators and the same problem with all of them.
It's G900F.
is it a new device
did u do some basic stuffs like wiping your data or cache
contac your service provider and see
I have a problem with my Galaxy s6 Edge Plus (G928M - Brazil)
When browsing the web with only mobile data turned on, wether using edge/3g/lte, the mobile loses connection .
I still have connection visible in the status bar, but wepages stop recieving data and it just stays hanging, with the loading bar at the same place. It can be fine for 3-4 minutes and then start to act up again.
One sollution is to toggle data connection on/off, then it will work again, but only for a couple of minutes. Even this metode sometimes doesnt solve the problem. My phone is unrooted. I have tried factory reset. Tried to root with arter97 (the problem persists) .I have tried using the different settings in mobile data; just gsm, just wcdma and wcdma/gsm- automatic etc. The signal strenght is good.
I used my simcard in another phone and don't face the problem. I used another simCard in my phone and the problem remais. So, The problem is in the phone, unfortunatelly.
Do anyone have the same problem, know of a cause for this, or have possible a sollution? Please share
I have the Sprint variant, G900P.
Data via wi-fi works consistently and well; mobile data is the problem.
Data via 3G works most of the time but data via LTE does not work - apps show 'unable to contact server'. This is not related to signal strength or a specific tower. LTE lights on the notification bar, but no data transfers. Occasionally, but not consistently, if I cycle 'mobile data' then a data connection establishes in LTE but soon disappears, even tho signal strength and LTE connection remain.
Is this a modem problem? Phone is rooted and running a slightly debloated stock 6.01 ROM (CQD1).

You may want to contact sprint to make sure its not your SIM card or the modem itself going out.
You can try and wipe the phone and go back to a regular stock, it may or may not help tho.
