I searched through this forum and saw a few threads but they were a little different than what I keep coming up with. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Every once in a while my Note will switch over to Emergency Calls Only mode. If I go and enable airplane mode then disable airplane mode my connections will reset and everything will come back. I don't know if this is related to the SIM card, or the SIM slot on the phone. I feel like this is a software related issue. Generally this only seems to happen at work or when I'm in the basement for a long time. It's as if the phone is getting No Signal or a very weak signal for an extended amount of time and then finally switches to Emergency Calls Only mode, but doesn't come back. Also sometimes it will go into this mode and most things won't work, but for some reason the Facebook app can still access the Data Connection. I'll go to status sometimes and it will show Mobile Network State as Connected where Service State will say out of service or something to that extent. I even had Mobile network type showing as HSPA
Anyone else encountered this issue?
I am having the same issue, and this is driving me nuts! Usually it happens when I turn on wifi for a long while when my phone in screen sleeping mode. How to fix? not wanna restore my Note again as I did this step for 3 times already because of this issue.
The same issue. How to fix????????? Thanks a lot!

i've been facing the same issue since past 4 weeks. after switching over from stunner ics aokp rom to stock gb and now my phone displays no signal (bars) at all.. however this is only for a while and i do get reception after 10 mins or so.. now i'm on official ics and still face the same issue..!!?
same issue here, its getting frustrating i'm missing business calls because of this!
I had it over a few days on GB too, I tried reseating the SIM slot and it sort of fixed itself.
I am not sure whether that helped or a shutdown + battery pull is the savior.

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).

Hi,
I am using Note for more than 2 months now. I was using N1 before. And I had the same issue with N1 also.
Issue is,
In my work place, there are some area where no mobile would get a network. I used to stay connected always. But due to this network issue, my internet would get disconnected but would not get connect again when the network is back.
As I said I had this same issue with N1 but I normally toggle the Flight Mode to bring it back. But in Galaxy Note, this workaround is not working. I have to restart the mobile to get connected.
Does anyone have solution for this issue?

I don't know what you are asking. The issue is the connection gets lost when there is no network. But it's not re-connecting once the network is back. I have to restart the mobile to get the connection.

Try with different network. (AIRTEL/BSNL/IDEA or any other)
I think this is an intermittent android problem. I have no signal in my flat, and sometimes when i go out it doesn't reconnect properly, and i need to restart before i get texts/voicemails that i missed while inside. Its an occasional problem, and only happens sometimes. And usually it happens when i spend an entire day indoors so the phone has been without signal for some time.
This also happened on my hd2 with gingerbread and Ics. And also happens on my gfs HTC salsa. It's not a note specific problem as far as i can tell.

You are right. I had the same problem with my N1 too. But I never restart in my N1. Toggling the Flight Mode will bring back the connection. But its not working in Note.
i have this issue after i receive MMS.
i just go to settings, wireless and network, mobile networks, access point names, tap on my web connection (vf web since im on vodafone AU), and then just hit back. the 3g logo will disappear and then reappear as the phone reconnects to the correct wireless access point.
I don't know why, but this is a consistent problem and it's getting annoying. I will only have bars, but no wifi or internet connection. This just randomly happens and I don't know what triggers it.
I have to turn airplane mode on and off to fix the problem. Is there something that is causing this?

I have had the same thing happen,but only once or twice,I chalked it up to my home WiFi threw Comcast ,I've been having major problems with my Comcast modem dropping WiFi or to slow of a connection,think I have to replace the modem just been to lazy,but I have the smart network switch on in my phones wifi settings so I thought maybe from the signals switching so much it froze or something,but yea it did same thing I had no lte or 4G next to my carrier signal,the wifi was not allowing me to turn it on,or scan for networks,wasn't even showing any so I did the same thing hit the airplane toggle and it came back.

Sorry i have no others solution for it.
I just posted a thread about the EXACT SAME issue. It only seems to happen overnight, but when I wake up in the morning my wifi has been turned off and my 4G LTE isn't working. When I try and toggle wifi back on it gets stuck and never reconnects/turns on. My solution has been to restart the phone.
I'm thinking since this seems like a rare problem, that this is a device-specific issue. I'm going to try and exchange mine this weekend due to this problem and hopefully get a properly functioning GS5 instead.

Have the same issue (made a post about it already in this forum). Usually happens when there is a large fluctuation in signal. Grocery store where I get no service results in no service when I leave the store as well. Have to cycle airplane mode like you described.
WiFi hasn't done it yet.
Another forum member suggested it may happen if using an older style SIM, which I am (from my S3). I haven't been up to change it yet. What SIM are you guys using?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744472
I typically have this happen when I'm at home at night, while my phone is plugged in and on wifi. Just disconnects at some point overnight.
I'm using a brand new SIM provided by AT&T when I upgraded in store.
Very strange issue and is random. For instance, it didn't happen overnight last night.

My S5 just started dropping data randomly and causing my battery to drain with almost no usage... I tested using Skype in a good 4G LTE area and will start out with 4 bars and the 4G LTE icon but as soon as I try to initialize a test video call over Skype the signal immediately drops to either no bars at 4G or it will go straight to E!? I haven't had this issue in a long time and it just suddenly started. At first I figured maybe they lost a tower but now this is going on almost a full week. I've got unlimited Data so I know that's not the issue, it has a brand new SIM... I'm going to AT&T and see if they have an answer or if they'll swap it out. Annoying!
Also annoying that sending a simple text will fail... ugh no root and now no data! :what::banghead:

I've had this happen several times, but only at my work. Reception is poor at my office, and the company WiFi requires browser-based login each hour, which I switch to many times a day.
The phone basically stops using all radios EXCEPT bluetooth, showing a circle with a line through it. I've been rebooting the phone to restore connectivity, but will try toggling airplane mode next time. I haven't noted any strange battery drain.
I haven't seen this issue when wifi is disabled.
I didn't notice it locked up a few days ago and drove home where cell reception is very good. The phone didn't recover until I rebooted it.
I have a brand new SIM from ATT and use a Gear 2 (which is greatness, btw)
I've done the following:
1. disabled the damn ATT hotspot app
2. Disabled/enabled the Wifi connection check setting
3. Did a full factory reset
This is getting close to a deal breaker for me.
As an update...
I have this issue basically every work day with the aforementioned environmental variables
Today, I:
Disabled Bluetooth (left the gear at home)
Disabled wireless
Switched radio to 'LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto' with instructions in this thread
The radios haven't locked up and reception is much better.
I'll try leaving WiFi/BT on and use my Gear again next week.
For anyone who is still interested, changing the modem setting seems to have resolved the problem for me. It also improved connectivity in weak areas a good deal.
Unfortunately you must enter the key sequence to toggle the radio each time the phone is restarted.
So I am using a Nexus 6 on the Latest Tmo build (28E?) of Stock Rom and Stock Kernel Rooted, Encrypted.
Since the update that enabled wifi-calling for the N6 I have taken to setting my phone to airplane mode and turning on Wifi only to save battery since the signal at my house bounces back and forth from LTE to 3G and that murders my battery. Most of the time the signal strength graph shows blank and battery app correctly shows the cellular radios as having no on time. However, after being idle for a while (it would seem) the graph begins to show the signal strength as Red (no signal) and the cellular standby shows up in battery usage with the radios as being on (with no signal) and "active for a few seconds". Toggling airplane mode on and off usually restores them to showing up as off. Other times I never notice and it stays on for a few hours and goes back off on it's own. My main concern is that it seems to be activating the radio on it's own, my minor concern would be that my battery monitor app shows that it's using the battery. What could be causing this? I don't think it's a reporting glitch, because it shows up in both the system battery panel and a 3rd party one. If anyone has any thoughts or could point me towards a tool that could help me figure out what's turning on the radio when it's supposed to be off, please let me know. I've included photos from today showing what I'm talking about, the phone has been in airplane mode the whole time in these photos.
Thanks so much!

I think your issue is one of the reason why I cannot get Wifi Calling working at all. No matter what I do, my phone is holding onto a cellular network. Still trying to figure this out.

The best I can tell, "Android OS" is the only thing that shows any mobile packets sent or received so it's got to be a system thing.
If you have the myT-mobile app installed try uninstalling it I found that app totally screwed with my Nexus 6, turning WiFi on when I had no desire to use it.

Unfortunately that's not the fix. I don't have that app installed. Tmo is sending me a new SIM as I am also randomly having Wifi calling drop in and out even while my wifi is connected.
Does anyone know any app that would let me see specifically what app is engaging the mobile radio?

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.

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.

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.

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..
