[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?

I haven't tried that, I might in a couple of days if nobody has any other solution though.. I've had the problem for a couple of weeks so I'm kind of used to it!

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.

I had 2.3.5 earlier, so that'd be GB. Same problems with ICS now though =/

Antenna in the back cover got busted?
Maybe the contacts aren't touching enough?

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.

New SIM was my first try to fix it, it didn't work.. I guess radio is the only solution left!

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.

[Q] need help for connection problem

hi there, i just bought my galaxy note 1 month ago, and there is a problem with the packet da ta, sometimes i cant connect to the internet and the packet data symbol just suddenly dissapear, i have try to on off my packet data from settings but nothing happens, still cant connect, so i need to restart my phone by turning it off and turning it on so the packet data or internet connection can run smoothly again, please can someone help me with this probelem, is this the provider error or my note?

not sure if it'll help you in any way, as your problem may be completely different, but check your APN settings - few stock ROMs ago, my Note used to change APN name by itself (don't remember now, but sth like "_android" was added to the name from time to time), and I had to manually correct it each time. Then after one of the upgrades the problem disappeared, still don't know what was the reason...

First restart your router and also assured that your internet is in working state.
and if it is phone prob then try some app from market like wifi fix, etc.
And last thing you could try is flashing the rom again.

This is a common prolem in new experience...it's the main reason why i switched to another rom. The problem is not in your router. It's in ROM's kernel.
A possible fix is to connect to desired wifi connection then restart your phone, it should connect automaticlly. And you have to do this every time you connect to a wifi apn...
You can try flashing another kernel.

Thank you so much for your answer....ok i will try what you say...thank so much again

I'm using New experience too.. i don't have that problem.. I used to face similar issue when i was in stock.. wifi kept getting disconnected.. i read somewhere that the router settings was not appropriate for few phones.. didn't make sense at first.. went ahead and changed the "Lease time" settings under "LAN settings" in the router page to "two weeks" from "forever" (not necessarily "two weeks".. any option except "forever" will do) . Never had that issue again..

Losing mobile signal frequently

I have an issue where I lose mobile signal every few minutes. If I use Llama and check the "recent" tab I can see Cell: -1:-1:-1 every 10 mins or so and if I'm using the phone the signal will go to nothing, then within a few seconds go back up. Has anybody else seen this issue? I've done a factory reset and it didn't help. I'm waiting to hear back from Sony support, but they're been pretty useless for me in the past.

My signals dropsout all the Time

I encountered the same problem on my xperia l.
You could try taking the battery out the phone when it is switched on "hard reset" ,then take out the sim card and reboot, then switch off, put sim card back in and reboot, it may take a couple of minutes, it's worked for some, Me included
Another thing You could try is putting Your phone into GSM mode from settings but this means You need to keep changing modes when data roaming

Whilst we appreciate the sentiment please take a look at the forum your posting your advice in. The Xperia Z1 does not have a removable battery and the term 'switched on ''hard reset'' ' makes no sense unless you mean using the red button in place of a battery pull.
Not trying to be rude but its frustrating when your device drops signal and the best advice you get is regarding completely different hardware.
To Chrisduffer: Have you rooted your device/unlocked the bootloader or flashed another ROM? If so perhaps consider an alternative Kernel or a software update via the flashtool if its still using the stock kernel?

same problem. No root / no flash. Stock 4.3. Same issue even before update to 4.3.
Any idea what to do? My signal drops down every day like 5-6 times for about 20-30 seconds with no reason. I'm also not able to connect to 3G (at least phone is not showing 3g sign next to the signal strenght).

Hmm...this is interesting because actually I saw this up and down on mine too but I was able to call and receive calls anyway...so I newer bother if is an issue or not...but I losing the internet connection frequently so what's wrong?

Instresting...mine too...stock 4.2.2 rooted, Lb....but when my signal totally drops I am able to call or text!

Sounds almost like the modem driver is crashing and then restarting. Factory default is what I would try first, unless this is happening in places where you have weak signal or are in an enviroment which would cause weak signal (inside, thick walls, metal, etc.).

Hypothetically.

Had a few issues myself with the same stuff. Try another radio via flash tool. Just deselect everything else and just flash baseband, no wipe. Be careful when flashing stuff.

Yes, alternative radio driver should help, if it's not HW issue.
I will try to give the phone on a warranty check ... hopefully they will be able to tell me what's wrong ..
if not, I'll go your way = flashing different ROM with different radio.

thank you for the answer which rom could i install? now i have the rom for italy (IT) that i found here... but i had this problem also with the completely stock device so could it probably be an hardware issue?

You think you have signal issues?

Almost forgot, I had a phone come in once and it had the same issue, ended up only recognising the sim card every now and again, you could try another sim, or even send it back for repair which is what happened with the phone that was brought to me.

so i'm going to send it to warranty, i hope it is an hardware problem otherwise i'll have to sell it, i can't stay witheout signal as soon as i hold it on my hand

losing data signal
I am having the same issue
Any idea?
Should return the phone?

I sent the phone to the warranty, I have also the results of the tests and they are all passed... So I really don't know how to do... If I find a nexus 5 i'll try to change this xperia for that, I can't stay whiteout signal when my old iPhone 4s receive it very well

Yes, I have used it with numerous phones and laptops etc and never had any trouble with it. I am going to try flash a ftf and see if it fixes it.

That didnt help it, I also flashed Miui and it still doesnt work.
If it makes any difference my phones bootloader cannot be unlocked.

Might also be a problem with the WiFi module.. Maybe try the warranty service, if your phone is new?

No, I bought it second hand, I managed to get it to connect once earlier after removing security but its not working anymore.
Edit: When I have no security on the phones says "obtaining ip address" for about 20 seconds and then seems to reset itself and repeat.
