Gday.
My xperia ZR (C5503) is dropping the network. It is showing signal strength and that changes, the 3G symbol pops up and dissappears as normal, but I cannot send/recevie text, calls or mobile data. I have turned the phone off and taken the battery out. I have used PCC and SUS and I have also replaced my sim........the build number is 10.3.1.A.0.244
It will drop off the network, then a few hours later, pick the network back up and the phone will be useable for 10 mins, then no network. The phone worked great for the first 2 weeks and has started doing this.
I only have about 10 apps, have not changed any admin settings etc.........any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Happened to me on my old phone. Had to have it replaced. Try taking it in. I had some success on the Nordic rom. So try flashing that.

you might want to disable all build-in power saving mode and reboot the device. and keep device without any power saving function on. See if it will be better. I find that my wifi will be disconnected by power saving mode and it won't back to work when I switch power saving mode off. Unless I have to disable all power saving mode and reboot.
If you are not on the 4g network, you may like to switch the network settings to wcdma(preferred)/gsm instead of the default LTE(preferred)/wcdma/gsm.
I have some friends who isn't on the 4g network and the phone network is more stable with this setting.

Anybody else experiencing this.. Wifi is on and connected but my 4G-LTE arrows are still showing and flashing as if it was transmitting and receiving.. but my Wifi is on??
I am using Launcher Pro instead of LG Home so I have access to the power widget in the Notification Bar but not the LG Home power controller.
I just installed Power Control Plus and it seems to shut off LTE and 3G when you press the 3G button and can keep it off with or without Wifi on.
I've noticed this. It doesn't bother me due to the fact that I have unlimited data. If it want for that it would bug the **** out of me.

As far as I know, on all the android phones I've had, u have to manually shut off mobile data even when connected to wifi. There are apps that include this option when making "profiles" that get triggered (tasker, CPU tuner) but otherwise I think it stays on unless manually turned off. Maybe its not using mobile data but it appears to stay "on".

On my olds droid the 3G would turn off when I got onto a wifi network. I might just be special. Lol

I have the same issue. It actually goes further, because when I manually turn off mobile data through the Settings menu the data icon still stays on. If I use a tool like Dataswitch the icon goes away, but I never had to do that with any of my other phones.
The other issue with wifi that I'm having is that if I set the Wifi sleep policy to turn off after 15 mins of inactivity it can't reconnect after it turns itself off. So when I start using the phone again it just keeps trying to obtain the IP address of the network without ever succeeding. I've tried this on multiple networks. I have to turn off wifi and then turn it back on. Anybody experience this?
These issues aren't big but they're starting to make me question the quality of the LG Revolution and I may exchange it for the Charge.

I have this issue too, and it is annoying. I'm not worried about exchanging it, because I'm sure this will be addressed in the port of CM7 that TheCubed is working on.

Do issues like these usually get fixed in a port of CM7? Do you think the issue of mobile data staying on when it should be off will get addressed as well?
Any idea when CM7 for the Revolution will be available?
My HTC Butterfly S has been disconnecting from wifi whenever i leave it alone for some time (10~20mins). Whenever i on the screen after such times, i realise that there is ABSOLUTELY no data or wifi connection (only the signal bars icon are in the status bar) and 1 or 2 seconds later, LTE reconnected and then wifi reconnected 1~2 secs later itself too.
I tried sending links from chrome to my phone (using sendtab) during this period and the phone does not receive any notifications, thus confirming the fact that there is no internet connection whenever the phone is in deep sleep.
Oh and 1 more thing : this only happens when wifi is connected, if wifi isnt connected when the phone goes into deep sleep, there is still LTE connection. When wifi is connected and the phone goes into deep sleep, the phone does not default back to LTE or 3g, all forms of connection with the internet are gone, only leaving the cellular connection available.
Anyone having the same problems? Btw phone is bootloader unlocked and rooted, using stock rom.

Check and make sure your power saving mode isn't on

Nope it's not on, and wifi is also set to always on during sleep.
Probably it's how the Rom is built to save battery

Actually, I don't think that power saving mode disables the connection, but sleep mode, that is enabled on my phone in Power option. From description it disables any data transfer during deep sleep. I have MaximusHD rom, can't tell if that option is shown on stock.
Try disabling this option :
WIFI > Advanced > Wifi optimization
This option might be the cause. Also, you might want to tick the Best Wifi Performance to test.
It's natural for android to silently disable data when you're on wifi. It only makes sense to do that.
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?

This doesn't really help.
What happens is data and wifi disappear and if I hit wifi it won't turn on. I have to turn airplane mode on and off and it starts working again.

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.
Hey, im having an really annoying issue on my z1, sometimes it fails to connect to internet, I have full bars of connection and 3G or 4G sign next to it, but still nothing happens. I have tried putting it on airplane Mode and then taking airplane Mode off and triggering data connection off and on but they dont seem to help. It takes a while and then it starts working again for some time. My Z1 is completly stock and non rooted. And this is a few weeks old phone

Backup ur data and Repair your Firmware by PC Companion
if it s about Software repairing will solve it
but if problem remains after repair there might be a problem in hardware so need to take to official service
:good:
I'm in the UK on the Three network. I am using Stamina mode with Extended usage enabled to save power, but am seeing a consistent issue where, after an hour or two, the phone completely loses it's mobile data connection and will not reconnect without rebooting. This makes Stamina mode totally useless as it is not reconnecting when the screen is turned on. Which is the point right?
The signal indicator on the phone shows no "H" symbol when this happens, yet About -> Status indicates HSPA is present but mobile data is disconnected.
Does anyone have any ideas or any way I can log this without root so I can complain to Sony?
Clearing data for Eco Mode Controller and rebooting fixed it.
Where is the Eco Mode Controller? Is that what it is called? I can't seem to find it in my apps. I am looking at settings>apps>downloaded/running/all.
It should be in the all section. I have just encountered this problem on my Xperia Z3 (non-compact) and following the above instructions has helped me get my mobile data back. Thanks!

Mine was actually called the Extended Standby Mode Controller.
This issue has reoccurred today. Looks like Stamina mode has some issues.
Seeing the same issue here and also on Three
Happens mostly at work where signal is poor and patchy. I have noticed that in setting > phone >status that the Mobile Network type is Umts instead of HSDPA when this problem occurs. Rebooting the phone without moving it the phone will automatically reconnect as HSDPA
Anyone have a fix yet that does not require a reboot?

This is what I do when my H connection is bad and it reverts to E. I go to settings, mobile networks and select H only (not H preferred /GSM). It always moves back to H instantly. Then select again H preferred/GSM. This way you don't have to reboot.
