My phone sometimes loses connection to my network (3 Australia) which I usually notice after school finishes and I take my phone out of my pocket. It can't find the signal but once I reboot / aeroplane mode on and off it can get the signal again.
This is annoying because I don't want to be constantly resetting the phone to get latest phone data. I really hope someone can help me with this problem.

Do any other Streak 7 owners have this problem also?
To reproduce the problem:
Run from an area with good signal coverage (home/office)
into Subway (NYC Subway) where you find no signal.
Inside the subway, when you turn on the screen (as many people will do to kill time), the data connection will of course, finds no signal.
Then when you come out of subway again, in an open area where signals are all good, Streak 7 cannot establish a proper data connection while showing perfect full bar signal strength..
Only restart can restore the data connection. Turning on/off airplane mode wont help....
Is it just my configuration or a bug in streak 7?
I go from the street level to the red line subway in chicago but i lose 3g and hop onto 2g. I lose signal a few times until i get back in the elevated tracks and gain 3g. Not sure if it helps you but i don't have a problem with data connection in that situation. Granted, data is mostly worthless when the train is moving between stations.
Thanks so much!
I am continuing monitoring what combination will create problem.
Believe or not I have observed 3 times such issues witin the past 7 days... Hopefully they were only due to some apps, not the system defects.
sighs...
Right at the moment when I decided to keep and love this streak 7, this bug came to life again...
Today I used the streak 7 in NYC subway, and the signal bar, of course, displayed "4 grey bars with a red cross" which means no signal.
And when I get back home, it STILL DISPLAY THE SAME THING. that is after coming out of subway for 10 mins +.
Then I switched on airplane mode and switch off again, the signal bar display is
full signal, but without the 3G/4G sign , and I tried apps, all reporting no data connection.
Only solution is to restart it.
Can I figure it somewhere in kernel or software apps?
If not, I may really need to return it with 15 days of purchase =(
Similar situation happened today. My Streak showed 4g signal with full bars, tried to open a app it told me i had no internet connection. Once i closed the app the 4g signal flashed then everything was up and running.
Just wanted to let you guys know that I have had a similar issue with my Droid Incredible. If it fails to get a data signal while attempting a background sync, it will actually restart. My solution has been to put the DInc in airplane mode before I enter the subway, and then remove airplane mode when I leave. Not real a big issue, since it takes about 2 seconds to go into airplane mode (& out of it).

This problem barely happens to me now.
I just want to make sure it is not a hardware problem. As long as there is a "soft" solution to it, I am fine. =)
I have observed this but don't know why this happens. Sometime, my data download speeds lag to really low speeds of 50 KB. When I turn the airplane mode on and off, the data speeds increase drastically to around 2.6 MBps. Does anyone know why the data speds change so much after the airplane mode and why it lags in the first place?
I am on LQ2, stock ICS, LPT modem, AT&T (US).

Have you tried flashing a different modem?
I think what you are experiencing is either traffic shaping by your carrier or the tower you are connecting to for data is overly busy. By cycling your radio with the airplane mode you are actually re-registering your handset on the carrier net and this may also cause you to connect to another tower that has less traffic on the backhaul link.
Some of our local networks are sometimes saturated and one can't get a connection to make a call. So what some people do is dial the emergency 112 and then drop the call, this prioritizes the handset on the tower and one can them make a call.
If you can't find a proper work around for this problem, please download the app "restart connection" from the play store. this app disconnects and then re registers your phone within 3 seconds so you don't have to manually enable and then disable airplane mode all the time which can be frustrating.
you might also wanna install "network monitor mini ", this app gives you a live reading of your data transfer on your screen in a pretty non intrusive way, so you can always know the speed of your data transfer.
I have the network monitor mini live widget at the right bottom Corner of the screen and I check it occasionally to see my connection status and whenever I am on a congested tower or if iam getting low speeds, I click on restart connection icon on my dock, and my phone gets re registered on the network and I get better speeds.this set up has helped me numerous times.
Both of us basically do the same thing, its just that my set up is a little bit easier and less annoying. I Hope you find it helpful
Good luck
I flashed the official Slim-n7000-4.3.build.2.2-OFFICIAL-1745 from slimsroms.net
The rom seems excellent and is pretty fast but every other day or so I seem to lose my data connection. the H or the 3G symbol will vanish and i dont get any data coming through.
i cant still make and receive calls , just no data.
If i reboot the phone i get 3G back straight away.
When i lose the data connection i tried toggling "Data Enabled" under Mobile Network Settings but it does not fix the problem, i need to reboot to get it going again
Anyone seen this?
Hi guys,
on my xt1068 (5.0.2 stock, no root, locked bootloader), 3g data always hangs when I'm travelling (e.g. Home -> Work). The only solution is to cycle the connection....
When I'm at home it works like a charm, even for an entire weekend
The mobile data icon remains "on", with full bars and H/3g symbol...but I cannot send or receive data.
Any ideas? As you understand this is really annoying. :silly:
Thanks.

I have the same problem but not all the time and I'm still on 4.4.4, I leave the house therefore disconnecting from WiFi sometimes 3G doesn't 'pickup' esp. if I turn off WiFi after it has moved out of range, like you it displays 3G or H but no data can be sent, the only way to fix it is rebooting the device.
Do you turn off WiFi manually after leaving the house? as mine only seems to do it if I do that.

Hmm, I always leave the WiFi on. I'm going back home atm and I just switched it off. Let's see if 3g stays active...(even if it would be the exact opposite behaviour than yours)
Thanks for the tip, I'll keep you posted.
I work in an office that has no reception. Normally, I have to walk to the window to get a signal. Today, I initiated a download from the window and walked back to my desk, which normally has zero reception. I noticed that I was still getting data and the download was still going.
Does that mean that if my phone is idle/asleep, it stops keeping my signal alive? Can I keep my connection active? Is there some battery optimization or tweak that prevents my radios from staying connected?

If you are in a place with no reception, you won't have connection. Maybe your work place has very bad reception, so that the phone sometimes gets internet connection and sometimes not.
If you do not switch energy saving options on, this should not interfere.
Best to get WiFi at the office.
