I have an ATT Tilt with the official 6.1 ROM specifically for the ATT Tilt. I downloaded it from HTC's website. Start screens shows;
R 1.65.21.18
G 25.88.40.05H
D 3.57.00.00
Phone was working great for months UNTIL yesterday. When I turn the phone radio on it takes several minutes to connect with ATT network. Then I get a message that says "there is a problem connecting to the GPRS network in your area". I can use the phone to make or receive a call, but then after approx 10 minutes with the phone radio on it loses the network connection.
I called ATT. They were less than helpful. They tell me to buy a new phone.
I searched this forum and also googled this problem with no good results.
I have hard reset the phone and still experience the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

were is your area.
Central PA. Up until yesterday I had great coverage. Another co-worker with a Tilt can stand right beside me and get service. ATT said it could be the SIM card.
I put my coworkers SIM card in my phone and it took a good 3 minutes to connect with the network. I couldn't keep the card in my phone long (he had to go) but it stayed connected for 5 minutes.
When I turn my phone off and then back on, it will connect to the network after several minutes, but looses the connection shortly after.

If the ATT techs haven't told you to do so already, try System>Connections>Connection Setup
I have done everything included in their instructions at http://www.wireless.att.com/support...0&tutorialsCategory=Browser&tutorialId=614440
but still no luck.
I am having the same issue only recently lots of call drops phone just jumping from 3G to Edge and back again. I also keep getting the login message for MedaiNet.
I live in Tampa, Florida.
Again At&t Tech support was completely useless I am so frustrated that I was actually looking at getting a different phone but I wasn't sure if that would really solve my problems.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Moto X on AT&T MVNO - signal strength drops to 0 briefly - phone or carrier problem?
I've got the Moto X GSM developers edition with Kitkat 4.4 unlocked and rooted. I am on H2O wireless (AT&T MVNO).
Several times a day, I'll hear a quick beep in my bluetooth headset alerting me to the fact that I have no mobile signal. I look at the phone and I have zero bars for maybe 30 seconds and then it goes back to (usually) 4 bars. This happens at home, where I always seem to have 4 bars except for these incidents, so it is not like I am in a marginal signal area and it is going between 1 and 0 bars. Is this likely a problem with the phone or with the carrier? I switched from PagePlus (Verizon MVNO) when I got the Moto X, so I don't have a history AT&T with another phone to look back on. I never had this happen when I was on Verizon towers with my previous phone (Droid 2 global).
I don't know if the loss of signal is real or a bug in reporting the signal strength because it doesn't last long enough to try and make a call. I haven't had any dropped calls, but I don't spend a lot of time talking, so the odds of this happening during a call are low. Still it is a bit of an annoyance and if the loss of signal is real, it will eventually happen during a call.
There may be nothing wrong, the phone may just be scanning for other bands that do not exist in the area. 30 seconds does seem like a long time though. I know when I use AT&T firmware with a different provider in Canada my phone will do exactly the same thing after a fresh firmware install, however after it happens a few times it stops and holds the signal fine. I am guessing it is building a database of what bands and protocols are available in the area. It might not hurt to do a full reset of the phone.

That doesn't sound quite like what my phone is doing because you say it happens a few times, then stops. It happens to me every day and I haven't recently installed firmware.
Anyone else having the same issue as me? On a Moto X or any other phone on AT&T?

This happens to me on AT&T on the GSM (T-Mobile) model sometimes too. It usually happens after a phone call is hung up and it's switching from HSPA back to LTE. Sometimes it's instant, other times it's 10-30 seconds.
I have a tmobile d959 that I'm running on virginmobile in canada. It drops calls and loses signal every 10 to 15 minutes. Sometimes keeps on searching for more than 5 minutes and I would have to restart the phone to get signal back. Is there a better modem file that I can flash on it? or can someone tell me what can be causing that and how to fix it.
Hi,
I received this replacement T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 from Asurion yesterday and it is happening that T-Mobile network signals are dropping randomly and most of the time. I did not had this problem with my earlier note 4 which unfortunately I lost. I am not sure if this is hardware problem or some app is causing trouble although all the apps are same which were installed on my last note 4. Should I return this hand set and ask for replacement or there is some solution for this problem?
Thanks
Return
If the device is not rooted return it. If rooted maybe is a problem with baseband.
Did you check the date roaming option in networks. That solved my dropped call problem
Maybe doing work on Towers in your area? I had same issue, ended up being upgrading towers. My signal would randomly drop, go back up then drop again. This went on for several days before it was back to normal. T-Mobile didon't have clue till I demanded to talk to the highest department. Working fantastic now. My data speeds are just sick. Lightning fast. Thank You T-Mobile, Thank You John Legere.
Probably a issue with your APN

My ATT microcell does not work with my t-mobile note 4, using my ATT sim.
Looking for anyone else in the same boat as me.
I purchased the t-mobile note 4 a few days ago to get back into playing with ROMs.
I put my ATT sim from my Galaxy s5 into my t-mobile not 4.
It is not working properly on ATT microcell.
The behavior is, signal goes 5 bars for a few minutes, then no signal and have to reboot phone to get signal.
I will call ATT today about it.
I searched this forum, and only found this thread which I replied to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/help/lte-t-mobile-note-4-att-service-t3002126/page4
I finished a chat with AT&T live chat, and they just suggested to check APN settings which were already correct. I ask the ATT support person if they had any notes in their database about customers having problem on ATT microcell with other carrier's unlocked devices, but the support person said they could not find anything. So I guess I will wait and see if anyone replies to this thread, but I might have to just sell this t-mobile note 4 and get an AT&T device. But I will keep the thread open.
Just some more info.
I found that if I unplug my microcell, I still had a lot of problems connecting to my nearest tower ( very weak signal, 2 bars, which is normal for where I live. ).
But after 15 minutes or so, the note 4 totally disconnects.
Have to reboot to get it to re-connect.
I'm running 5.1.1 by the way.
What I then found is a bit interesting, if I turn off my WiFi, forcing the device to use it's 4G LTE connection, my signal strength goes up to about 3 bars, and no more disconnects!
