Does anybody else have a problem on o2? For the past few days my HD has been very flakey.
o2 are usually spot on in my area, the phone has good signal and what is happening most of the time is ill take a call then after 20-60seconds it will cut off and play the "duur duur" noise.
Is there anything i can further do to trouble shoot this problem and see if its a phone or possible network problem?
same to me
It happens to me too, but in Serbia, with Telekom network operator. So it is regardless of the network. Only thing that comes to my mind is connection setup update that I have recently did. Found out that call is dropping when I change network station cell or type of connection (from gprs to edge or 3G)
I tried to make new connection setup, will report with findings...
I'm going camping this coming weekend to a place in the mountains that tmobile has very poor coverage in. I was there last month and discovered my friends at&t phone had full service while my g1 showed service, just didn't show any bars and other times only showed one bar. Calls with my phone were flacky and dropped out, his worked perfectly. Is there a way to make my phone switch to roaming on at&t?
I have a national plan on T-Mobile.
I'm running Cyanogen 3.9.5
Thanks!

Should do it automatically. I saw my phone do this the other weekend when I was travelin. My phone showed ATT, Corr Wireless, and some other service and certain points.
The tmobile signal is just strong enough to keep it from roaming there. I was hoping it would switch automatically but it never did. I know the phone does have roaming ability, i've seen it switch to roam and work fine.
I would assume then just change your APN settings.
you can try manual operator selection, by going Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Network Settings > Network Operators > Search Networks then select whatever network you want to use
Hi.. I'm using CyanogenMod 3.6.8.1 on my HTC Dream and I've got the same issues with roaming. I've travelled to 3 countries last month and I had issues with connecting to GSM network.. There was error message that my sim card cannot work with specific networks.. I've tried to use auto connection and I've tried also to connect manually to specific networks, but with the same result. I've tried also rebooting and removing the battery... Problem disappeared after few hours... I had this issue in Austria, Hungary and Turkey so it's not operator/country specific. Problems doesn't exist on different cell phone (Nokia). Everything works fine after powering on the phone.
Hey guys,
I live pretty close to the border with China and in a tall building. every so often, I notice that I am roaming on a chinese cell tower when I am at home!
This is an immense pita so I went into settings and under network preferences, I made sure the offending network was unchecked and moved all the way to the bottom of the networks list.
It still connects to the roaming network. Am I using this wrong? I used to have a similar issue with my P3600i and eventually switched to manual networks as it was the only thing I could get to work.
Is there a way I can tell the phone to never connect to xxxxx network?
Thanks

Hi guys,
I have an unlocked Vibrant from TMobile, using it on WIND in Canada. On the first day with a WIND SIM, I was able to see the WIND network, and use data as expected. Then I went to school (outside coverage) and the phone roamed to the "WIND Away" (ie: Rogers) network, as expected. However, when I re-entered the coverage area, I could no longer see the WIND Home network! I've been stuck on roaming for a few days now, and I just can't see the home network. I've scanned the for Network Operators a million times - all I see is WIND Away!
My girlfriend has the same phone, and we got her unlock code yesterday. After unlocking, she was immediately on WIND Away, too. I don't see others complaining on the WIND site, so their network must be up. What could cause this? Does Android cache the network operator list, or do some sort of automatic filtering that I can disable? This is getting pretty frustrating.
Thanks!
edit: Oh, I've tried power cycling and removing the battery.
Bump?
Also tried a factory reset... What could cause the phone to simply not see a network that I know is present and that it used to see? I live less than a block from a tower.
Hello,
I am casting a broad net on the internet here to get a consensus with what is going on with the LTE problem many are having with their S5''s
Does anyone NOT have an issue with their phone going from 3G to LTE then back again. A lot of people (including myself) have to toggle airplane mode on/off just to pick up LTE. It does not automatically connect for some reason.
For added information, I am in a non LTE launched city but have been testing by a known LTE tower. when I drive up to it the S5 will not switch over to LTE. When I toggle airplane mode it works.
I guess long story short. Is there anyone out there that does not have this issue?
Thanks a ton for any information!
I don't have that problem I always have LTE unless I travel far out of the city which is normal with all the LTE phones I have had.

Think it's an issue with your provider, I've tried LTE/3G with four different providers here in Denmark without any problems.
Could be an issue with the SIM.
Also, which version of the S5 do you have? EU, US, Asia, etc? BRanded? Unbranded?

I do not believe it is actively searching for a LTE signal all the time. It takes a min or two for my phone to pick up a LTE signal once I'm in a known coverage area. I've done the airplane mode toggle before as well..... It forces the signal search right away.
I'm sorry I should have mentioned that I am on sprint. I will be going into a launched LTE city here today and will do more testing.

Yeah I'm a Sprint user too. All of my Sprint LTE devices have behaved similarly. It takes a few minutes of being in a known LTE coverage area before my phones (both IOS and Android) would connect. Its because the radio isn't actively searching all the time.... I'm not sure what the actual search interval is, but it's not constant. And again my Iphones behaved just the same as my current S5.
My Evo 4G was constantly searching for a wimax signal when I wasnt in a coverage area.... it really sapped the battery because that radio was always on the hunt for that wimax signal.
Got no issues of this kind
im on tmobile im having the same issue ,never had this problem with my s3lte
I don't have this issue, however on one occasion at work I lost 4g signal which is usually at 2 bars, and it sat there and didnt connect to 4g again until I did airplane mode, then it came back fine. But this is the one and only time I have had the issue.
this is a sprint issue
you need to wait until they finialy decide to update their towers to handle the new triband phones, they claim they will be done with all the updates by the middle of the summer, i got sick out their sub-par coverage and took all my lines over to verizon... no regrets
details about their issues are here, it is a long read but good:

S5 LTE Hand-off Loss of Signal
I'm a Sprint customer on Long Island, New York and I've been having the issues as well. I had to deactivate the S5 because it would lose data and even phone service sporadically without any warning. Sprint's solution is to go into Airplane mode for 5 minutes then back, but that's 5 minutes without service after noticing that the service is gone (and losing how many calls/messages). My girlfriend has one too and probably misses about half her calls (and texts come in late constantly) What happens in an emergency? I recently blogged about this. Isn't Sprint opening themselves up to liability by selling the phones while these issues are known internally?
Im in Denmark too, and i have the problem with Telenor, but did not have the problem with Telia, unfortunately i have to stay with telenor, work phone

You didn't do a forum search or you would already know that it doesn't affect everyone. There are myriad threads about this and the concensus is that it is carrier dependent.
Open a support ticket with your carrier. Also, the 4.4.3 update is said to address this bug, so that is something that you might want to look into.
.
Just a little update, put on download booster, and after that no problems whit disconnect from network, will see later when i leave home to see what happens then.
