Xda II, Phone Edition or Moble Network Problem ??

I've had this problem for some time now and I have no words to describe this symptom ... I know I'm not alone as I know a few other people have the same problem:
The signal bar on Xda II shows ok, green LED still flashes like normal, even my Phone Dashboard showed that I'm connected to my mobile operator with signal strength >90% ... Nothing is suspicious until you start making calls, everything stays at "Dialing ..." and there will be no dialing tone !!! Make another call, same ...
Then you'll use the landline to call yourself on the mobile, it goes to the voice message ... All those time, you were actually not connected to the mobile network! When you realise this, the only remedy is to turn on and off Wireless / Flight Mode.
Now, have you had similar experience ?
I think, somehow the mobile network lost you, and Xda II didn't even notice it therefore did not bother to reconnect as it thought it was still connected. Is this it ? Or anyone has any other theory or solution to this irritating problem ~ which I genuinely have no idea who to blame ?

i think i know what the problem is
:idea: try to download and install this software,
http://www.gb-soft.cz/xdaii/product_gprs_tweak_en.htm
and in "gprs settings", disable "gprs always online", and set it to "search gprs on start gprs connection".
that way, you will be connected to your operator as simple gsm phone, not a gprs one.
the mobility managment in this status (imsi attached, instead of combined attached) is more simple to the network, and you won't lose service.
Hope it will solve your problem,
please update...

thanks i have downloaded it and installed, and set the "GPRS always on" to false, but the other one was default ticked ("Search GPRS on start GPRS conn").
i will start my observation today and see if the problem reproduce itself.

did this solve it for you?

Coming into the 8th day with this Tweak installed, with GPRS set to search on GPRS start (not radio start). So far, the network problem has not occured. I would like to give it another 2 to 3 weeks before announcing the problem solved.
However, just one little note, after installing the Tweak ... a day or two I noticed that the BT Icon no longer shows on the main screen task bar even after numerous soft reset. Not sure what causes it.

network indicator problem

hey guys, i cooked my own rom with Pandora 5.0 Beta 1, and since then the network indicator icon is stuck on U, even though (as in the pic) the network is clearly EDGE. anyone know how to fix it? or at least what i should be looking for?

bump- cuz i still can't figure this out

U icon instead of E

Ok simple and possible stupid question...
All yesterday my phone was displaying the E icon next to my antenna showing that there was the possiblity of connecting to the Edge network... Now I happen to work in a area where 3G is not supported but I live in one where its spotty.
I went home last night and while fooling with the phone I noticed the U icon instead of the E... Note I'm NOT using the MEdia connection either, I know this is just simply stating that 3G is currenty avilable where I am.
Now I'm back at work today and the U icon is still there, so I got to test it and when I connect it connects with a mini E above the antenna bars.... So why does my major network icon never change showing me whats avilable?
I installed the HTC Kaiser Dialer + 3G-Batt Icons for my vp3G rom, so I dont know if maybe thats causing it?
I just signed up for media maxx today so I'll test my media connection when I get home to see if it shows up with a 3G...

It doesn't show you what's available. It shows you how you connected, if you are connected.

Um, no it shows whats avilable because this is showing up when my phone is not connected to the MEdia Net service.
Right from the manual.
The LARGE U an E icons are the ones I'm talking about...
Either way I removed the HTC Kaiser Dialer + 3G-Batt Icons program, and it went back to a E icon
so I think it had something to do with that.

The manual is wrong. I am in a 3.5G area, and my connection icon routinely changes from E to U, even while using it.
You're trying to solve something that is not only not solvable, but is also not a big deal anyway.

Hide or Remove GPRS / EDGE Icon?

First post, bit of a lurker here. Just upgraded my XDA2 after (how long?).
So, got the touch HD. And I find it has a [E] or an [H] on the taskbar. I've checked previous posts, and the GPRS is disabled, but I really really dislike the icon being there. The XDA2 didn't have it there, although it also supported GPRS. Is there a reg hack, or a tweak, something I can do to hide the icon? I don't care about the connection, its the icon that's bugging me....?

Or is it that I'm asking the wrong question? Is it the case that if I can see the [G] icon, I must be connected to gprs, and so to hide the icon I just need to kill that connection (something i thought I'd already done)?

The G/E/H/3G icon just shows you what is available, doesn't mean you're connected.

It is possible, i had a taskbar on the diamond, called ahen by sunnyin that had no G/3G/H icon

Not 100% sure on this one, but I don't think you can actually get rid of the icon as that is a WM feature to show you what is available (if you're connected to GPRS/EDGE it will show it on the signal bars). However, what you can do is change the icon which 'G' and 'E' to just be black like the background so you won't be able to see it. Hence the actual icon notification will still be there (taking up space) but you won't see it.

I have the same problem. disabled GPRS and any way of my phone accessing 3G or 2G, but there is still an E in a gray square showing up at the top. This happened after I first installed cooked roms. My guess is that other apps are attempting to access 2G, because another problem linked to this was an error message, ""there is a problem connecting to the gprs service in your registered home network warning", which I've since then fixed (but the E problem remains)
Edit: lol I just realized this thread was years old. but if anybody has a solution, please comment

[Q] Note4 loosing data connection

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..

Any news on topic? I'm facing with internet on mobile connection, even if bars are full and LTE sign is visible.
