Hi,
I don't know if anyone has heard of this problem or Im just being paranoid, but I installed PocketMax's PhoneAlarm (v 2.13) and was testing some automatic profile switching yesterday, one of which was into flight mode. This worked, but when it came out of flight mode the operator signal strength started to refresh.
ie. GPRS..good signal...HPDSA good signal...HPDSA poor signal...then no signal. The no signal stays like this for some time before the cycle starts again.
Not sure if this could be the weather but it's been clear and cold and checking my sim out on another mobile shows a good steady signal.
The reason why Im pointing to Phone Alarm is that all was well up until this point, before playing with the automatic profile switching into flight mode.
If anyone has any ideas or a setting that can be stabilised in the registry to stop this then Im all ears.
Thanks for you anticipated help or solution.
Apologies if this has been covered already
Not sure if this is relevant or not but:
I noticed that when I upgraded to WM 6.1 my flight mode acted all kinds of strange. Even if I manually put it in flight mode I could sometimes not get it to come out of flight mode and turn the radio back on unless I soft reset the device.
Hi dalavar ,
Thanks for the response. It was fine before and hadn't noticed any problem with signal dropping before upgrading to 6.1, even when looking at flight mode on the comms manager. This suddenly happened after coming out of flight mode using phonealarm Wednesday mid-dayish and has been acting like this since.
I've tried resetting and even reflashing the rom to see if would set things back to normal and still no joy, the same thing happens. The latest thing I tried was a different sim in the phone and again the signal cycles and stays on no service more than another signal. It seems to indicate a phone problem, as I've tried the sim in another phone and the signal is ok.
Im not sure if it could be the weather as it colder than usual where I am and wounder if these phones are prone to not being able to hone in on a signal when ice crystals are in the air deflecting the signal, as a friend suggested, but I think that would affect all phones.
Any further idea's would be gratefully appreciated.
I've discovered, purely by accident, that when I disable the 3g (using duttys 10 button comms manager) the signal comes back and stays, I'm only getting GPRS not HSDPA, at present, which I suppose is something. Under the phone settings I also notices that it is set to GSM and not auto. Something probably I did when trying to find out why this problem occured.
Im trying to set it back to auto (this is what the 3g button does on dutty comms manager), under phone band settings, which was the default setting and this is when the signal problem reoccurs.
Wondering what this auto is looking at?
Where the settings are for it to look at so if it looking for something else I can change it back.
Anyone have any ideas?
Just an update.
This seems a common problem amongst some uk 3G networks, I found forums where Orange and T-Mobile customers had suffered the same problem. Months where 3G working fine then 'Cillit Bang' and the 3G's gone!
It could be the sim has become faulty (rare, but not unknown)
It could, in fact, be that the signal is bad in the recent cold snap here in the UK, which I hoping is the case and when the weather warms up I can test this theory and set 3G back to auto.
Update.
This morning it was still not wokring on auti, at around 11:30 I tried again to turn auto on and now the phone os working again with 3G enabled, but it's only coming up with GPRS.
Not sure if it was the weather as now we are at 9 degress rather zero or in the low minus, and it did appear to come back when the temp increased or could be the network provider has been playing with the transmitters.
Now just awaiting HSDPA to come back.
Still not working correctly. Again it drops signal unless I switch back to GSM. Getting this diagnosed.
Hi all,
I have a AT&T Nexus One and this thing seems to periodically lose 3G access. It will be working fine, I sleep the device, and when I go to use it I notice there is no 3G or WIFI connectivity showing, just signal bars. To get WIFI and 3G to work again I need to toggle airplane mode.
This perplexes me quite a bit, and it is VERY annoying. It randomly happens throughout the day with no real reason behind it (as far as I can tell).
More info: I have experienced this issue while using stock ROM with Froyo, the HTC Sense UI ROM for the N1, and evil D's Froyo ROM.
Has anyone else experienced this? It doesn't drop to EDGE but actually just loses all connectivity until an airplane toggle.
Thanks in advance everyone!
Hi all. just got my Galaxy S and its a great phone.
One of the annoying part is that whenever the phone goes to standby mode, it connects to Edge network (E is displayed on top). It seems like whenever WI-FI is not available it always connect to Edge network.
Can I set it to connect to Edge network or WI-FI only when there is explicit request from the user?
yes 2G and 3G works even when the phone is in power saving mode for the push emails and other data syncs
WiFi only works when the phone is awake
but there is a fix for that some where in ths forum
Go to your Wi-Fi settings, open up the Menu->Advanced. Set sleep policy to never. Then you'll always have your wi-fi and the phone shouldn't need EDGE for data, unless you moved too far away from the access point.
Install "JuiceDefender" it will turn off net access when screen is off
I know people have had Wi-Fi connectivity issues...but has anybody else had Mobile Data connectivity issues? It's a new phone and a new sim card but I'm still having issues? I had to reset my device in order for me to browse the internet or for me to send texts...TWICE within an hour. Any suggestions for this?
Also, is anybody's SPen button loose? I don't know how secure it's suppose to be, but if I run my finger back and forth as if I'm rubbing it, the button rocks back and forth as if it's loose. Not sure if it's supposed to be as secure as the home button on the phone or what

Wi-Fi and Network issues are being experienced by just about everyone. Because it's so widespread, this leads me to believe it is a software issue and we just need new radios.
Your SPen is like mine. Fairly certain it was made this way and is not supposed to be like the Home button.
Cheers
hum funny i havent had any wifi or 4g problems. I remember they said the s7 edge had wifi problems where it would randomly disconnect and not reconnect.
Which i didnt have that problem on the s7 edge either. (got the phone 2weeks after launch).
But with the note 7 no problems here. And my spend is pretty stiff no loose feeling on the button, feels almost like the home button
I've had really bad issues too. Like having to restart my phone to get data to work. receiving text messages late. Phone calls going straight to voicemail.

Same here. I simply notice that after an hour I dont seem to receive any kind of notification, suspicious. So I check my phone and keep getting pop up of "no connectivity please check your network". Both Data and Wifi will not connect. Even toggling airplane mode won't establish a connection. Only option is to reboot. This has been happening to me at least twice a day.

I have been having those problems too except it's with my data and regular service. If my phone loses service somewhere the only way to get it back is to restart the phone it's ridiculous and the signal is way worse then my wife's S7 Edge

id say report it to samsung via online chat and they will make a case about it and hopefully they will make a patch.
but as said i dont get that problem. Background data and everything works. my package tracking, ebay, facebook and all that work. No miss called or messages.
Definitely have an issue when I roam on AT&T then come back to a T-Mobile area. Have to put it on airplane mode and then back for it to acquire the network again.
I haven't had any WiFi issues, but I rarely use WiFi. I have noticed that my Note 7 like to switch to AT&T Edge (which is basically unusable for data), even when there is T Mobile LTE available. I constantly have to manually search for a select T Mobile for it to switch back. I don't want to disable roaming, because it's necessary where I live, but I can't seem to keep the phone from switching over to AT&T or get it to switch back to T Mobile when service is available. I just switched from a Nexus 6P which very rarely had this problem in the same area.
I too have experience Data loss where I have to toggle airplane mode or reboot. But this only happens at my residence which has a poor to fair T-Mobile signal.

Same here, only once, but I noticed the one time it happened I had been using Bluetooth, more specifically Samsung Gear connected to my Gear S.

I had no issues, maybe don't use phone often enough to notice, but I have been in and out of network and it works fine without any reset. but here is the funny part: when i went to activate my N7 (from home computer), I had to call rep, of course from my old phone. So while he is trying to switch me, he sms me some code to input (still on old phone), didn't get it, sends again, nothing still, then my old phone connection goes dead. So i grab my new phone, sure enough, I'm switched, new phone now works. That was around 9pm. 3AM my phone beeps, I got 2 SMS messages with codes from 6 hrs ago. Since they were originally send to my old phone, which worked fine like forever, I would speculate the issue was on TMO side, not my phone. So I wonder if some of the issues some of you experienced are coming from T-mo? I don't know, like somebody forgot to program new phone into system and things hang up,
I switched the mobile network selection to manual instead of automatic and turned off data roaming and haven't had this problem since.
I have had no issues like this? Why are some many users having issues with this phone. The Note 7 is built pretty dam well. All my friends i know have this phone and no issues with them as well. Before jumping the gun on issues please do research.

I'll try this and keep an eye out. Next step for troubleshooting will be to get the SIM activated that came with the N7 instead of using the one from the S7. I've read that using a SIM from a previous phone has information stored on it and could be the cause for some problems. That just doesn't make much sense to me since they both have the exact same T-Mobile bands but I guess you never know. Thanks for the tip!
I have noticed on my N7 if I lose service (building elevator, etc) and then come out into open air, one out of 5 times it never reconnects. I try to cycle through Airplane Mode and out, but that does nothing. The only way to get data back is by restarting the phone. Super annoying, especially when I have a password on the phone and a sim lock so by the time phone is back up and running to use, it takes some time. Very frustrated with this!

I just experienced this. Ironically I had full LTE Data bars but 0 connectivity running T-Mobile stock Firmware and NOT rooted.
At least 3 times in the morning my data has been off, showing full bars but no LTE, a reboot was the only thing that got it up and running again.
As for the S-pen I'd say it's semi loose when fondled..
I have this strange issue that has been with me almost since the beginning. I haven't been able to trace when it happens, but it now seems almost 100% of the time.
I only have WiFi in the house (wifi6, if it matters). If I go out, I only have 4G (I left only 4G and disabled 5G). I have no data until I put the phone into airplane mode and back, or I disable and re-enable mobile data.
Same thing when I go back in the house: no data until I disable and re-enable WiFi.
I've disabled the option for 'always-on mobile data' or similar, it's quite a battery drain if there's no cell signal.
Seems like a very strange bug, I don't have this with any of my other phones.
So you have both WiFi and 4G enabled and they don't switch seamlessly?
Exactly. I always have to restart each one of them, usually by toggling airplane mode. Was wondering if anyone else ran into this issue.
Ok this really is strange. There are 2(!) different toggles to enable data switching between WiFi and 4G, but for me it works flawlessly without them! As soon as I get out of my home WiFi range, 4G kicks in, and when I get in range again, the phone connects to my WiFi...
Hi, i have this problem too but it's not always.
I have a wifi 6 router too.
I also have problems switching from wifi to 4g. Need to toggle airplane mode on/off. 5g deactivated. No wifi 6 here.
I always assumed my vpn is causing problems during the switch to 4g. But hearing others have the same problem i would assume its zenfone problem.
I never had any issues in this area with my ZF8. With the option to have cellular always on I could walk out of my WiFi zone during a video call and no drop or short pause would appear.
With this off the network need a few second to work, and some apps need to be refreshed/restarted to gain connection. Never needed to toggle connection for this to work.
Maybe a reset would be enough or check for updates.
Ah, exactly! It does not necesarily need a network restart, but some apps just lose connection for a while, which can be from a few seconds to >1h. Which is even more weird as the icons are showing full connectivity. I would go out of the house, do stuff, come back later and I would only get the notifications when I'm back inside the house.
Rarely I had the connection drop completely (no signal) when switching, but I haven't noticed this happening since the last update.
