[Q] Random Internet Connectivity Issues on 3G

I surely can't be the only one having this issue. It doesn't seem to be related to any particular firmware, as its been an issue ever since I got the phone, and I've since had quite a few different FW on it. Someone I spoke to on another forum with an SGS said theirs did this as well...
Basically, I can be happily surfing away, and then randomly, a page will not load - "Web page could not be loaded" message. Refreshing does not work. At best, turning the APN off or switching to Airplane mode and then back on seems to fix it most of the time. At other times, a full restart of the phone is required.
Most of the time this will happen once or twice in the course of a day, but today it happened on several occasions and it's getting annoying. I had to switch to GSM today for several hours - though that could have been my network provider, but its strange how other Vodafone users in my office were having no issues at the same time I was having issues, even when using the same APN settings.
Any ideas? This is quite a frustrating bug at times.

Unfortunately I can only be here for you , cause this is also happening to me. It is extremely annoying. I did not try the Flight mode switch though, I always had to restart my phone to fix it.

Tried a new rom with updated modem file? Could help

stick to only WiFi or only 3G
you will get those hic ups when the phone is changing between WiFi & 3G
it goes to either side depending which one has a stronger signal
it will have preferences for WiFi over 3G
WiFi is not as stable as 3G from personal experience, so i turn off WiFi and use 3G most of the time

Wifi issues after OTA

Has anyone been having any issues when connecting to wifi since updating to the recent OTA for the Desire HD?
It seems sporadic, because sometimes i will have full signal and then it will cut out even when i am right next to my router. And other times it just doesnt show any signal, and says connected and other little things like this. I am just wondering if anyone else has suffered from this problem or anything like it?

My device is working perfectly fine after the update.
Sent from my Desire HD

What I've noticed is that my Wifi doesn't seem to turn off. I've got it set to sleep after 15mins, but it doesn't seem to be after the OTA. need to do a bit more investigation to see for sure though.

@OP - I am experiencing very minor Signal loss in Wifi after the update. it goes down by a Bar....But No disconnection or degraded Wifi Performance

After the OTA i have wifi problems all of a sudden too.
I think it has something to do with the wifi sleep thing or something.
When i turn on the screen after some..hour(s)
Wifi says it is at 100% strength, but when i open a page it says cannot be found.
I have to restart wifi to get internet working again.
haven't done a factory reset, dunno if that will help anything?

Everything perfect.
very good battery life (maybe double)
smoothness
photos +
video excellent
as good wifi as before
maybe this sms problem, but I don't receive sms so can't talk about

I am experiencing this issue too running the 1.72 OTA.
I have the wifi sleep policy set to "after 15 mins". Wifi works fine in general. However sometimes, when I wake the phone after a while, it shows a full wifi signal but no data transmits. As above, wifi has to be restarted to get it running again.

I had the same. After the update the Wifi connection randomly was lost and sometimes I had to close the HD and restart.
However, a few days ago I did a factory reset and now my HD seems to be behaving like never before. No battery issues and my wifi always is fine.

internet connection dropping on 3g 4g (eb13)

My phone constantly drops internet connection whether im on 4g or 3g. I had this issue ever since i went to DK28. I dont recall this problem on DI18. The problem still persists when I upgraded to eb13 (using samsung utility). The notification bar shows i have 3g or 4g signal but i can not load the market or youtube or webpages as i get a "connection failed retry error". this happens after using the 4g or 3g for 10 or 15 minutes. Can some one help me please?

Sorry to not post answer but o post that i am also having same issue... i am still on dk28 but recently i have started getting frequent connect failures on browser and email - errors webpage not available in browser and connection failed retry error in email
anyone know how to resolve???

I had it about once a day on DK28 but now on EB13 I have it fairly often and the only way I can usually guarantee I get connectivity back is if I reboot.

me too
Unfortunately I'm seeing this as well - more frequently in the last few days.
I initially did the "update" route (downloaded from Samsung) the first day it was available, but had so many issues with the phone I did a factory reset the following day.

Anyone of you try updating your profiles or prl?
Might be worth a shot. Issues like this is why I'm staying on 2.1.

tried that... didnt help

Even on Syndicate Frozen while not as often, any sort of data intensive usage will cause drops

I wonder if sprint has something to do with it?. I have tried every trick from proxy settings to flashing different roms and still have the issue..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

This is really frustrating! Sometimes toggling airport mode/4G works but not always. Email/Web is basic functionality of the phone and without i fell my Epic is worthless!
I am still on Dk28 - got a new pc so I have to reinstall drivers/SDK etc not sure if its worth upgrading t EB13

[Q] Galaxy Note Data Connection Lost

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with TMT Rom 1.2 (been using Midnote since i first got my Note a month and a half ago, trying several versions)
I noticed something with all ICS roms I tried, data connection works fine until I'm in a low coverage area (mostly at work or home, big building where i can hardly get a signal) when I leave for/from work, as soon as I'm on the street, I don't get any Data Connection, with some modems i would even get a "not registered on network" when attempting a call, even with full signal bars
The only fix that gives me data connection back is to restart the phone, that works every time, sometimes by playing with the 3g/2g/auto settings, which also behave erratically (sometimes i cant switch from one to the other) i can get it to work, but most of the times I need to reboot.
Has anyone encountered this issue with ICS or even GB roms?

I have exactly the same issue, now running CM9.
I just can get back the connection by rebooting the note

It happens with me as well. Since using 3G data shoots up l2_hsic wakelocks, I usually switch it off while not using. Unfortunately, that toggle doesn't work after twice or thrice and I need to reboot to get my data connection back. Surprisingly, it never happened with me on GB before. I was and am using stock Samsung ROMs without root.

For me the issue seems gone for a couple of months now. No issues with Criskelo's ROMS or the latests versions of TMT Rom

should i try 1 more reset

Hi all
My s8 is from Vodafone before i got an update weekend just gone i had problems with my Wi-Fi calling it worked but only problem was that no one could hear me told Vodafone about the problem and was told it be fixed in next update.
Well I get the update just recently but the problem i have now is that the Wi-Fi calling symbol flashes up for a second or two then goes off. I tried using my home internet with WiFi calling on and still won't connect even when my signal goes down to 1 bar still no WiFi calling i have tried resetting the phone but no luck.
So should i try once more and reset phone as a new one? Or is there something wrong with my software?

Do you try hard reset from stock recovery if not try this.
The second option if this rom not working properly downgrade your previous version through Odin.
Before do anything make a full backup of your data and internal storage.

Thanks for fast reply.
The problem is it has Vodafone software on there and I can't change it through Odin unless i flash another Rom which i don't want too. I will probably try one more reset and see what happens

On sammobile.com you can download a stock ROM for your country and your carrier. This won't void your warranty.
Then check again and if the issue persists, exchange the device to a new one.

I'd try a hard factory reset, download the update, then restore and see how that goes. When I first received the S8 I noticed lagging and stuttering after I upgraded I still noticed it and did a reset. After the update all the stuttering and lagging completely went away

Try putting phone into flight mode then turn wifi back on. See if wifi calling kicks in then. It's too flaky for me being unreliable so have a sure signal at home where signal is poor.
