Losing my 3G connection - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

My phone loses its connection when I enter a certain area, and I have a hard time trying to get it to come back.
Basically when I enter Hollywood, CA. I lose all data connection, no internet, maps, etc. When I exit the city my connection never returns. This happened twice already and only in Hollywood.
I still dont have a connection as of right now, what do I do?

Avoid Hollywood?
Lol, sorry. Try turning airplane mode on and off.

3g takes forever to turn on when on wifi

anybody else have this issue when sending a pic msg? 3g just takes forever to turn on... for example i'm trying to send a pic right now while on wifi and it took a minute of trying to send before 3g actually turned on and sent it.

I've been having issues going between wifi and 3G. Times when I want to just use 3G, the wifi screen pops up and ends my 3G connection then takes a lil while to 3G going...mad annoying. It may be juice defender, IDK much about the program being I just started using it. hmmm
Go into WiFi settings and uncheck notifyme
K giving that a shot...happened again when leaving the gym..angrily uninstalled juice defender though was still stickin to 1x...hada reset the phone to finally get 3G going...luckily no car accidents occurred.. Lol
Is there a way for the phone to remember my home internet secured network? When it pops up, it seems to never remember my home wifi, prompting me to type in the password each time...

WiFi problem

Whenever I'm on WiFi I also have the 4g on display. Is this normal? I'm on stock.
No, it's not. When WiFi is on, you should be getting your data exclusively via WiFi so data over cell signal is stopped and the 4g symbol disappears. Are you sure you are connected to a WiFi network?

Yes I am 100% sure.
Same happens to me at times. I just turn data on then off and it goes away.

Hey this happens to me too!
Very annoying!
Also what's up with the phone switching back my preffered net work every time I reboot? I tik off "cdma only", but after reboot the phone puts it back to gsm/cdma...Grrrr
But yeah sometimes I have to turn off the data ( "connect to internet via phone") or it will intermittently switch between data and wifi

to whoever has that issue, do you use a data counter? just to verify where your data is going through
Happens on all my Androids. Not sure where my data is going through when they are both up in the Status bar. I don't ever hit my cap, so I am fine with it, but it is annoying.

Well, this is my second android phone and I haven't come across this issue before.
I would suggest that you check that your software is up to date. If it is, then power off the phone and pull out the battery, wait a minute then reinstall and power up. If that doesn't fix it, then I would factory reset it, but that's always a pain. If none of my suggestions fix it, then I'm at a loss.

This is because of "My Account" app by tmobile. It runs in the background and uses mobile network for connection to tmo servers (even if you have wifi turned on). Whenever you see mobile network turned on, just goto running applications and stop My Account and 4g/3g icon should go away. Its not just this phone, this would happen on any android device with my account app.

Re: Wifi and 3G Problems
This issue is about to drive me up a freaking wall.
When I'm connected to Wifi at my house and I leave and get out of wifi range my phone doesn't connect to mobile network. I have to reboot it every single time to connect to 3g.
I've called Sprint several times about this and they just walk me through the process check.
Is anybody else having this problem? If so do you know of a fix? Thanks

Mome connects after a minute at the most. Try putting into airplane mode and back. Also just for fun try updating prl

I'm having the same problem. Leave the house and phone still shows I'm connected to the WiFi. I turn WiFi off and get the 3G symbol, but apps are report that there is no data connection. Need to reboot to get 3G to work. Toggling Airplane mode doesn't fix connection.

[Q] Wifi and data on at the same time, limited internet.

Rooted stock ROM Verizon I605 running 4.1.2.
I was in Korea for the past 6 months and just got back the other day. Before I left, I never had any problems, but since returning, my wifi and data are on at the same time, and it's causing me problems. Here's what's going on:
If I just have mobile data on, everything works as it should. If I turn on Wifi, it will connect, but the data connection will also remain, and my internet speeds will become spotty. If I turn on mobile data and just try to use wifi, the Wifi icon appears (with the orange/green arrows indicating activity), but apps don't connect. Facebook automatically tells me "No Internet connection," Opera won't load pages, Google Talk can't sign in, etc. If I turn mobile data back on, things work again, albeit slowly.
The strange thing is if I turn on Airplane Mode and then turn it off, leaving data off, my wifi will work 100% normally. If I try to turn on mobile data again, I get the same issue.
While I was away, I replaced the SIM card so I could use my phone over there. I messed with some APN stuff thinking I would be able to get data on my phone in Korea, but that didn't work out so I returned my APN settings to default. I have a feeling that's the source of my problems, but I have no idea how to fix it. I tried restoring my APN settings to default through the settings, but that didn't fix it either.
Any help at all would be appreciated!
If it helps I have been seeing the same thing. I'm on CleanRom 3.5 (Verizon Rom base) and PB&J kernel. It seems to be hunting between them even when in strong wifi signal.
Interestingly enough it's not doing it right now.
I'll keep a closer eye on it now.

In my case, it's a constant problem (unless I manually go into airplane mode, like explained). It doesn't work sometimes and not work other times.
I'm trying to use wifi at home, so signal strength isn't an issue either.

Data connection error

So lately what has been happening when I disconnect my phone from wifi it will not automatically connect to Sprints data network. It says its still connected to 1xRTT (according to SignalCheck Pro) however it then has a pop up saying my phone cannot connect to the mobile data network and says MIP 180 or something along those lines, and I can't connect to Sprints data until i reboot. The 3G symbol will not show up until i reboot and can't connect to data. Im running stock touchwiz not rooted, latest update. This happens pretty much everywhere I go. Any help?
I've come from ATT and have never had an issie of this sort before using GSM phones. Although it could just be because this phones still new?
ok so i got a screen shot of it.
Forget that im roaming and using usb 3.0, that was after the fact it kept telling me this message. I generally have great service where I am, could be cell tower upgrades.
That error code means you need to update your data profile. After you reboot, go into settings and try updating your profile...if it continues contact Sprint.

Had same problem recently and it was due to several tower problems in my area.
