4G will function all day every day at work fine... if I just have it on the phone. If i use the hotspot, after 10 minutes both the phone and computer will lose data.
Is this a symptom of inconsistent data where I work? I dont get why the phones data as a stand alone device would be fine, but hotspot would cause them both to stop...
When I am at home I can have hotspot on for hours with no issue... So I guess its down to a tower or signal issue? I get 2 bars of 4G at work and speedtest shows around 13-15mb...
At this point im at a loss Any suggestions?

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).

Thanks!
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 a pretty stock HTC One, and I'm on a particularly sub par data plan, where each 'data session' is rounded up.
I have wifi both at home and at work, good wifi signal and am v close to router etc. I find that if I put the phone into standby and then use it again 5-10 minutes later, it is still connected to wifi, all good. If I leave it for 20-30 minutes, when I wake it, it latches onto the 3g network for a few seconds and then realises there is wifi and connects to that.
I have things like Google+, FB messenger and push mail which I presumed required a constant connection.
Any thoughts on why the wifi appears to be being turned off as it entertains deep sleep?
I can just switch data off when at home or work but I don't want to have to rely on that sort of thing, and the apps that do that for you based on GPS etc aren't that appealing either.
Look in adavanced settings under wifi. Should be able to set it to keep wifi on during sleep

Thanks for the reply. Yup I have that set to always. Seems to happen both on my home and work wifi, despite great signal strength. Sometimes it seems it does happen even if the phone is unused for 5-10 minutes.
I assume this is actually pretty common and most if not all phones do this, you probably wouldn't notice unless you were tracking each connected data session.
I was thinking the phone must do something like, wake, spend x time looking for wifi while simultaneously connecting to 3g, then when wifi is found it is connected to and the 3g connection is dropped. I guess I'd be looking to delay/postpone that connecting to the 3g network for 5 seconds or so to give the wifi time to establish.
Probably nothing I can do really.
I haven't noticed any problem staying connecetd to wifi while sleeping and Ive looked at the notification bar many time before ever unlocking the phone, just to make sure wifi stayed connected as its suppose to and it does. Only see 3g when Ive set it keep wifi on during sleep to only when plugged in and I dont have it plugged in. I also have best wifi performance checked. Dont think that makes much difference though. Im also stock at the moment

Hello!
I've been facing some problems with my LTE connection using TIM in Brazil. My 4G LTE speeds are great (about 50/50mbps) and the connection is pretty stable with about 40ms ping. I even use it to play online games in my computer, as it's faster than my home network. But recently after getting random disconnects when playing, I started to take notes of the time the connection was lost, and I found out that it disconnects every 30 min (the 4g icon also disappears and appears back in something about 3s). It didn't use to happen 1 or 2 months ago.
Wanted to know if that's a carrier-sided problem or it's my moto x, and if it's the second option, I also would like to know if there's something to bypass this half an hour limit (I believe it's some connection timeout).
Hope you guys can help me out!

My guess is carrier-side issue. Nothing you can do about it unless they do something on their end. They probably implemented a tcp or udp timeout of 1800 seconds (30 min).
Call and complain...
The problem I am having a similar problem on Verizon. I have to tap the airplane mode to get 4g back. It drains my battery searching for signal.

Sometimes I face this too... Mostly when I get home and it gets stuck in EDGE or HSDPA (I get a poor signal here because the tower is 7 floors above my apartment) and I can't get LTE back... I need to select GSM only or WDCMA only, wait for it to connect to the data network itself and then switch back to LTE. That's weird.
My cellphone wasn't doing this kind of thing before (timeout). I remember playing an entire match of League of Legends w/o further problems. Gonna try calling my carrier this week and see what's going on.
So I will turn on wifi on my phone but for some reason it still shows the 3G bar and I get not signal at my house so when i try to load up webpages its clearly trying to use my non existent data signal rather than the wifi to load thing. why is it doing this? it's supposed to override the data but its not.

I would troubleshoot your network. The signal bars for cellular do not go away when connected to WiFi, so I would not suspect that is a symptom.
well i am aware of my router being complete crap but im not saying the cellular bars im saying even though wifi is enabled it still trying to use data instead of wifi.

How are you measuring that?
Check your IP address and see if you can verify from that.
All I know is that I've had wireless issues since day one with my turbo, in fact so bad that I just never use anymore (yea sucks)
I am at my inlaws, using my laptop to work all day on the wifi and connection is great. on my Turbo - the wifi keeps stopping, hiccupping, etc. I have to keep turning on/off, etc. to get stuff to work. I just gave up.
There are other threads on the Motorola Forum with similar issues.
Wish we could figure out what magic settings are necessary to make wifi stable.
My note 8 is having weird issues. I'm on Sprint, with an unlimited plan. I'll suddenly get apps complaining I'm offline. I've got full LTE signal. Go into data, and data is off. Turn it back on and most of the time it's all good. Sometimes I need to reboot to get the data back. Also WiFi will disconnect. I can be within 10 feet of the router and suddenly it drops. When I go into WiFi, it shows connecting, then reconnects. I did a factory reset and only added a few basically apps, thinking I may have an app that is hosing things... No change. Anybody else having these issues?
Me too, it is very frustrating. It does it to me almost every-time i use it.

Odd............I know you did a factory reset..............but try ##brand#
