Can you clarify what you mean by "no connection at all"?
Sorry was just waking up. By no connection, i mean that i have no 3g or any signal at all. Once i pick the phone up and unlock it, it will reconnect to the network and ill have missed calls and texts

It's your battery mode. After X amount of time it'll do that to save battery.
settings --> Battery and Data manager
from there you can change stuff like that.

I mentioned this on the general discussion page but figured it needed to be in development. Can someone make an app to cycle airplane mode when phone loses data connection. Maybe have it check every hour or some similar interval. This would be a great work around for the data connection problems the Droid has. Just an idea guy. I'm tired of missing texts and emails. Thoughts?

You could just use something like Tasker to do it

I'm talking about a solution to the data loss problems so many bionics are having, including mine. If a program would cycle/toggle airplane mode automatically when the phone loses data it would prevent me from missing so many emails and texts. Can tasker toggle automatically with days loss? Don't want to drop 7 much bucks if it can't.

Tasker can do just about anything if you program it correctly.. You could set it to ping out somehow perhaps and if no response then cycle airplane mode.
I am not sure you can do that as i only use it to change things based on my location or time. It's just a thought. I'll check through the options in a min

The simplest thing you could do is have it cycle airplane mode on screen off or locking but not if it has been done within the past 30min..
Another way if you have unlimited texting you could have it text yourself every X amount of minutes and if it wasn't received within Y minutes it would cycle airplane. You could then have it delete that text so you wouldn't have just random texts from yourself.
It does appear that you could have it ping out, although im not entirely sure on many of the stuff in Tasker. It can get sort of complicated the more difficult the task you're attempting to accomplish.
If you're having the problem enough for it to be real bad though you may want to call verizon because mine only needed to be toggled through airplane once when i first got it and i think that was a wifi issue to begin with.

Yeah there is not a quick toggle yet. You can turn it off or on by going to:
Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode
Set to CDMA/LTE when you want LTE... CDMA Only when not in LTE Zones...
But yeah that is a tedious process... a toggle would be great.

Just as an FYI you don't need unlimited texting to do this. You are on the Verizon network, therefore it's free to text yourself and others on the network.
Good point didn't think of that

AutomateIT from the market can do a bunch of stuff it might help not sure though
I use extended controls.
It's on the market and has a toggle for almost everything.
It's always updating as well.
The data toggle for it takes you to network settings and the gps toggle takes you to gps settings.
I highly recommend this app.

Are you sure that you do not have your phone set to "battery saver"? Because that setting turns off your data after the screen in off for 15 minutes. The data does not turn back on until you turn on your screen and takes a few seconds to do do.

I do not use the battery saver profile, but my phone drops data once in a while.
What I've done is set up a Tasker task - not a whole profile - to toggle Airplane Mode on, wait 5 seconds, and then back off. I then created a shortcut to that task on my home screen by long-pressing, selecting widgets, selecting Task, and selecting the task I created. This isn't a perfect solution, but it works for me.
Here you go, Enjoy.
App on market called Restart Connections... its free and with the click of a button restarts all data connections.

So i have had the phone for a couple of days and recently i have been having connection problems. My data will stop working even though i have bars and the 4g lte sign is up. I have to restart my phone to get my data back connected. Not even going to settings and turning the data toggle on and off works. Any ideas

Id call att for now and see what they say...
Toggle Airplane Mode. Works for me. I have the same issue.
airplane doesn't works all times.. i prefer suspend the phone for a few seconds..
Are you using any smart actions that affect your data connection? I had the same problem before I realized that the phone automatically turned off data when connected to WiFi. I had set up a smart action to do it as well, which I think confused the device and wouldn't connect to 4G. I had to factory reset to fix it. Left smart actions out of the loop, and haven't had a problem since.
Deep rooted in the mAtrix HD...
http://android-gz.com
Yea i tried the airplane mode and nothing. I had smart actions on but then i turned them off and still have yhe problems. I think im just going to factory reset and see if it fixes the problem. The problem usually happens when im at school where in my classes i get no reception. And after class i get the bars but still wont get data and then i restart my phone and then i get the flood of notifications.

could also be lte problems... as att deploys new towers and works on em sometimes you'll have problems for no reason... which is why i would try to call att or do a factory reset, is all i can think of
I had to factory reset my atrix. I dont use the smart actions anymore and that solved my problem

I will have to disagree with you, once setup properly the smart actions are great. Never had a single issue with connectivity.

Is anyone getting the wifi problems that the other versions of the Note 3 are getting? Preferably when it says the network was disconnected for being too slow or something like that? I know it happens on the T-Mobile, Verizon, and International versions.

Mine doesn't disconnect but it says wifi signal is unstable, then I looked in settings when this happens and it says wifi signal strength VERY STRONG, I'm sitting 10' from my router and I know damn well the the signal is strong as it says 72mbps. Lots of issues with wifi signals are popping up in the N3 sections, not good.
Yep, same as Quickvic30

Go to wifi advanced settings and uncheck Auto Network Switch. It appears the phone will "test" the speed of the wifi network to your 4g and picks which is faster.

Hey all,
I realized that the wireless issues were all where there are at least access points broadcasting the same network. The signal indicator flickers back and forth between solid and weak, and I think the wireless manager is jumping back and forth instead of sticking with the stronger one. I installed one"WiFi Manager" from Play store and the connection is more solid. I haven't rooted my device yet, so this may be the best answer until a patch shows up.
Let me know if it works,

Hello I was having this problem I had to remove my ad stop program and everything starting working normal again adblockplus to be exact but that fixed issues with mms messages and the wifi.
Yes- nothing but problems with wifi dropping and reporting as slow/unstable. Rooted on AT&T MI1. Various AP's, not specific to any one location. Basically renders wifi useless.

Yall- this issue has been bugging the hell out of me. Finally tried something I found buried in a few other forums that immediately fixed the spotty connect/disconnect and wifi data stalling errors.
Enter into the service configuration mode by dialing *#0011# and hit the menu key- touch "wifi" and turn off "wifi power saving". Reboot. After having tried everything else I was skeptical but I can confirm (in my case) it worked like a charm!
Hope it helps someone else.

I've been using that method for most of the day, and I've noticed some good results with WiFi. Unsure how it's going to affect battery life yet though lol
auto-network switch
I didn't have to reboot, but disabling the auto network switch did help. I kept getting the 'unstable messages', and I finally had to click the "don't show this again" button and hit 'cancel' so that the OS would stop trying to help my be re-enabling the auto network switch. So, the question is, is this just #LTE2fastprobs, or are there real wireless n/ac issues that make this phone less than desirable?

I accidently turned off my browser bar when a pop-up intruded an email I was typing. I have no idea what the browser bar setting is but I cannot connect to any wifi network now. So I open up settings and clicked on the browser bar tab and it fc's settings every time. I tried a reboot, and clearing cache in recovery but it still won't let me turn the browser bar on. Any ideas here?
Not that I was at all impressed with the wifi capabilities on this device. My connectivity has been nothing short of pathetic and I've followed every rumored fix to no avail. I think I'm ready to try a factory data reset before my 14 days are up.
Again, any help is appreciated.

It's very strange that the browser bar would have any effect on wifi connectivity to begin with. I've had it disabled for a while and haven't had any wifi problems.
Samsung has a bunch of performance/bug issues they seriously need to iron out. It's almost like they don't beta test these devices before they churn them out.
Okay. So this is my third phone from at&t. I have had three major problems. I cannot connect to open Wi-Fi networks like panera bread and Starbucks. I Get the word in blushing connected, but after a second it says " the network is slow and unstable". I have had the battery getting hot with moderate usage as well. Plus when I am talking to someone else thru say the cannot hear me. So I put it on speaker phone and disable the speaker phone option and all is good. I've read about people gettimg at least one of these issues, but there is no solution to any of these problems. I jabs tried everything. Disabling through auto connect, and fixing the GPS to where the apps can't get my location. Speaking of which I never had these issues with other phones like the s4. That last pic means when I signed in it wouldn't continue further
Edit : the battery seems okay. But the issue with the calling and Wi-Fi still stands. Someone said there needs to be an update
