[Q] Data connection issue - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sometimes I am loosing data signal, I haven't figured out when it happens. It appears to be random. Suddenly I have no data signal and I can't get it back until I reboot the Note. Anyone have been through it?Anyone solved it?
Thanks a lot!

I just got my note yesterday and noticed i get booted off wifi after maybe a couple of mins; I also haven't been albe to use data from my carrier for some odd reason. Is this also what you are facing? Does anyone know if I messed up somewhere in the settings or is my note defective?

I can use data from my carrier, but it suddenly gets stopped and the data signal icon dissapears. As I get internet connection sometimes, the APN settings are right, but I don't know what could be...Maybe some app?But I don't use any JuiceDefender-like app! Also my wife uses the same carrier on a SGS2 with the same APN settings and she's got no issue at all.

My wifi issues have mysteriously stopped the same way it started and I found out it was my APN setting that caused the data issue so thank God this is done. Have you attempted factory reset outrun86?

Good for you! Congratulations! I've done several factory resets and installed few roms and the issue stills. BUT yesterday I did a manual search and set of my carrier's net and I have no issues so far...
EDIT: I have Rocket Rom v7 and CSC=AMN

Phone constantly on G instead of 3G since yesterday and also wifi doesn't connect!!

Hi guys,
Since yesterday morning my phone has been on G (edge/gprs) only instead of 3G (hsdpa) like it was almost always before. I'm on voda uk with good 3g signals in London and phone is showing -51 to -65 dBm (22-31 asu) which i think is good.
Also my wifi that always worked is also not connecting anymore...what gives? Regarding wifi i mean it connects but home page doesn't load any more on constantly refreshing even once. It does on my laptop on same wifi signal.
I have just updated normal apps like handcent sms/linda manager etc. since yesterday and restarted phone many times and done nothing drastic...so why these data problems all of a sudden?? Thanks
Carrier: Vodafone UK
Country / Language: English (UK)
OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): update 1 - stock rom
Tried soft reset by pulling out battery...on restart phone showed 3g for a second before wifi kicked in...still no page load...after switching off wifi it again went to G only!! Damn I don't wanna have to lose and reinstall all data/apps!! This so irritating..I love this fone and this is how it treats me!
Lunacy!
Now the fone automatically goes to 3G UMTS/HSDPA (wifi off) but with atrocious signal strengths of 0 dBm or -111 dBm with 1 or no bars!!!
I always get awesome signals in my room arnd -55 to -69 dBm and all 4 bars so what the hell is going on!!
Is this vodafone's issues or my N1 is dying slowly!?
Back to G n no wifi use!
Any help anyone?? please!
Not sure how to help you, but I thought I'd mention this if it's at all related:
my phone has twice now shown that it's on Edge connection, but run at 3G speeds. Not sure what the bug is but I ran a speedtest and was able to stream Pandora and browse the web without any trouble.
thanks for that but i'd sure love to see some pro's to help me out!
sounds like a carrier issue... however if you are rooted, try reflashing your radio and see if that helps and you may want to try each radio out as well
wifi is working today with full signal but on mobila data it stays on G with full signal but 3G sometimes with 1 bar or no signal...wtf!

When was the last time everything worked correctly? What have you do with your phone since then (different rom, different radio flash, new mods that alter system files, etc)? Have you tried calling your carrier to see if they are having problems in your region?
Nandroid backup, factory restore, reflsh cyanogen, test. If it works again you've got some bad setting stored. I can't help you find that setting but at least you've narrowed it down.
If this is affecting your wifi, then it's not a carrier issue. It's something with your phone.

2 days ago all was well. I just updated linda manager/handcent sms and 1-2 apps from market. I'm on stock rom so no radio etc. for me and I don't mess with system files and keep my phone clean by clearing caches etc. Thanks anyway.

Do a factory reset or a full wipe through recovery. If that doesn't resolve the issue, then let us know.

data connection gone??

OK I've been round wifi for awhile now so not sure when this started but I'm n a roaming/edge network and I don't get ne data connection anymore and have no idea why please anyone help?? Running cm 5.0.5.3 now came from baked goods 1.1

Same issue here. I notice if I force it to Edge then Edge works, but no 3G after 5.0.5.3 and i flashed the EPE54B radio with the apps. I'm thinking it's the radio but i can't find the previous image to test it out...

I have the same issue after flash CM5.05.3 and radio EPE54B.
It can't use airplan mode to solve the problem, only reboot.
Does any sollution? Help !!
After trying a million things my sister tells me her mytocuh is having the same issue. I called T-Mobile and they don't know crap. It just now started working again for me almost a day later out of the blue.
Yea I still for nothing no edge or roams mg data just got calling network irk what it is so guess just deal with it. Closest city with 3g to me is 40mi lol
Sounds like a problems with T-Mobile and not the ROM. Make sure you have "Allot data connection while roaming" checked also or you'll never have data while roaming

[Q] Wi-Fi To 3G

Hi,
Got a really annoying issue with my Nexus One that has been happening since the Froyo days, when I leave home to go to work I turn the Wi-Fi off on my phone to save battery. Sometimes I use the widget sometimes I go through the settings.
The problem is that the 3G doesn't alway's kick in, the only way for me to get 3G working is to turn my phone off and on which always works.
Any suggestions on why this is happening and how to resolve them?
I am running Stock Ginger Bread on my Nexus One on the the Vodafone network in the UK.
Try checking your signal strength: *#*#4636#*#*
You can try to enable 3G only and see if you can keep a signal.
My signal is sometimes intermittent due to topography. Stupid flat Ohio. Haha

Thanks, it won't be that though because once I turn the phone off then back on it's there. Also once I turn W-Fi off and 3G doesn't kick in, then it won't do untill I restart. Also another reason why I know this isn't the case is because even when I do this at work 3G doesn't kick in and there is a Vodafone 3G mast on the roof
never seen this problem before, but it sounds like something that might have to be fixed by doing a full wipe and reflashing your ROM. i know its drastic, so maybe do a nand backup first. then flash and see if the problem remains. if its still there, than just go right back to your backup and no harm and nothing lost. worth a shot.

I'm on a stock Nexus One unrooted so I shouldn't have to Root to fix an Android problem. Never Rooted before but considering it.
I got the exact same problem with Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs, can't remember if I had that issue with MIUI ROMs, but definitely with CyanogenMod ROMs.
Instead of rebooting the phone I suggest switching flight mode on/off it's faster than a full reboot
Haven't found any real solution yet and always thought I'm teh only one with that problem as I couldn't find any other person with that issue. Right now I'm testing different Radio/ROM combination and if that doesn't work I'll need to check if any app is causing the problem.
Any chance you are using Tasker?

I used to use Tasker but uninstalled it when I thought that it was causing this, it wasn't. Thanks for the tip about airplane mode, worked a treat.

[Q] When I turn wifi off, Note does not connect to 3G or HSDPA

Hi guys,
I have this strange problem, it even seems random.
After I turn wifi off, my Note does not connect to 3g anymore.
And I have to reboot the phone to get it working again.
Does anyone experience the same problem, or knows a sollution?
I rooted KK1 and flashed LA4 using Mobile Odin.
Cheers,
Daan
I've had this problem once, but it worked again after a reboot. Haven't experienced it again. It happened on KK5, but i flashed LA4 yesterday, so it's too early to tell if it will happen again.
It also happened on my Desire HD with MIUI and also while running CM7, so it might turn out to be a bug in Android.
I guess you had turned/switched off data network mode by pressing and holding the turn off button for two seconds.
Try and turn it off and see if it is the same symptom that you had before.

No, this is not the issue.
I manually set the APN settings for Telfort, removing MMS and setting it up for "internet" only.
Did a wifi on/off cycle, with a short interval and it seems to work.
Going to test with a longer interval. Not completely convinced yet.
Hope it's fixed.
---------------
edit: Not fixed!
On wifi for half an hour, turned it off and [email protected]#$% 3g does not connect anymore.
Maybe it's just Telfort. They don't have the Note listed on their website, but still.
My infuse 4g does this. I have to put it in airplane mode then back to get my data to reconnect. It did this stock and on serindipity 7. I couldn't find a fix either.

Annoying stuff! Cycling airplane mode does not work for me, only a full reboot.
But if you had the problem too, It could be that it's the network's (in my case Telfort's) problem.
Maybe I have to get my sim replaced, but I'm switching to T-Mobile in about a month.
So it's a bit of a pain.
I am currently using the infuse on o2 in Germany, but it did it on att in the states also. I can't wait to get my note. I am just waiting for it to be released on o2 over here. They have the black but I really want a white one.

Telfort used to be O2, it has been using KPN's network for a while now.
So it's probably not connected. Though it is a strange coincidence.
I'm off today, I think I'll walk by the Telfort store to ask for a new sim or something.
Maybe they'll have to flip a switch somewhere.

Yeah you're right, I have to troubleshoot properly. But it's such a pain
And I think I recall having this problem a few roms back as well.
I'm not sure because I was on wifi all the time.
But I have to wipe, I'll use titanium backup so it won't be such a hard blow
Man I'm going to pissed if it turns out to be the network

Thats a pain i was so tired of formating,..reformatting....coz many custom firmware have some error and new updates keep coming almost daily...and all ask to wipe for best experience..dat was when i finally decided to come bk to stock and stick to it...
yeah it doesnt hav those fancy colors and throbbing speed which a custom rom boosts about but...but hey everythin works flawlessly and i dnt have any tension of random reboots and alarm not ringing..or any smartphone related error to comeup...plus all my apps and schedule is there forever no reinstalling tension....enjoying my phone....
Okay, so I I did a full wipe and installed a deodexed rooted LA4.
I still have this issue.
Also tested on KK1 stock and still experienced this issue.
If it does this on KK1 and LA4 it's reason enough for me to believe it's the network.
I'll just wait for my T-Mobile plan to start. Meh.
edit: It seems to work just fine on CM9 :-/

[Q] My IncS completely disconnects, often!

First of all, let me start of what I've tried doing, in order.
New SIM-card, factory reset, unlock + root, custom ICS (VirtousQuattro).
None of the above solved my problem, it still persists! The problem is, the phone disconnects completely from the network (no bars) and I can't manually search for a new provider due "active package transmission" or something like that, it stays disconnected for 1-3 minutes and then reconnects. It happens fairly often, like once for every 5 times I try using the phone. I haven't noticed the problem when being connected to a WiFi, so I'd assume the problem is related to an issue between the phone and the network.
Has anybody else had this problem? Any idea how to solve it?
Have you tried flashing a new Radio? I can't see how that would differ from flashing a custom ROM, but might be worth a shot?

So much for being "unlocked". Also, hey mate
Yes Naforcee, I have exactly the same problem. And it never happens while using wifi as you said.
It started immediately after I updated to Sense 3 / Android 2.3.5 from HTC.
What was the version of Android in your previous Rom? I had issues when I was on Froyo and went to Gingerbread without flashing a new radio.

Don't think it's a physical problem, I have perfect connection and it just dies out for about 2 min until it reconnects, and I can't search for network when it's down due to active packet transfer..
Could try a new SIM card. Might not fix it, but worth a shot - I've seen this posted as a fix for other people.
I used to have this problem on certain radios on the Desire Z, after flashing around a bunch of radios to try all of them. Stuck with one and it went away, so it was software for me.

Try flashing this radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471861 using the ADB method. If that doesn't help I recommend doing a full wipe and reinstalling the ROM. There are a lot of different custom ROMs for IncS which can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136463
I personally like Niks ROM and Android Revolution HD.
Looks like rom installation issue.
My son's Inc-S having a similar problem to the OP, but more severe. A couple of weeks ago he entered airplane mode with all behaving normally, but since exiting airplane mode at the end of the flight he hasn't been able to register on the network (voice or data). We've tried:
fiddling with all the network settings
change sims (all sims work on my Inc2, none work on his IncS)
cleaning the antenna connections
reboot
factory reset
flashing new ROM (Android Revolution HD 2.3.0)
flashing new radio (3805.10.03.29_M)
So far, no satisfaction. We're still seeing no bars of reception (with an X) in the notification area, and don't have the option to manually or automatically register with any network operator (although several occasionally show up as options under "Search Networks"). We usually get the error message, "Unable to search for network while packet connection is active" when trying to select a network. Funny thing is, mobile network data has been shut off on his phone for the past month so the packet connection is definitely not active (wifi is on). Based on a network signal analyzer app, the phone is receiving the same mobile network signal as mine (-65 to -70 db) when they are side-by-side, so the problem does not appear to be in the antenna. The phone works just fine using wifi but is useless as a phone.
Any ideas about what to try next?

Probably a RIL-Radio communication issue. Recommended radio is the newer 3822.01.08.14_M radio, so maybe you should try that.
