Does any1 notice their signal going up n down frequently? No matter what network sim its up n dwn. even when i know that it should be full signal it fluctuates massivly. sometkmes shows no signal yet im blazing away on the net
Yes, this is quite normal with Samsung's Android handsets.
Their signal meter seems to (under)read quite a bit. Regularly I'll show no plausible signal and still be ok to chat / surf etc.
The SGS did the same trick, so I don't think its anything to worry about! (and the signal quality & stability is much better on SGS2 than on SGS anyway)
i was thinking that i may have a faulty handset, hmm it can be sat ther full H then the next second its 1 bar G
happens to me too. Also, my SGS2 always say 3G until I open a webpage then it says H. My SGS1 was always on H.
I have noticed that once the signal is lost, sometimes the xperia mini can't find the signal again. You are left with the little yellow triangle in the notification bar, but until you toggle the radio on and off, it will not find the network! Or is it just mine, latest firmware on 3 in the uk.
I have not noticed complete loss of signal but even if its laying still on my desk it keeps going between GSM and UMTS for no reason at all (xperia mini pro model). My old X10 mini pro on the same spot on the desk was rock solid on UMTS.
I also noticed that it sorta gives up searching for a signal after a while. I guess it's good in the sense that it'll save battery...

Same here, also on 3 network in UK. Actually it's on my OH phone so it's imperative I get this fixed ASAP!
She has discovered that it also affects texts and Gmail too, nothing is sent or received until the yellow triangle goes. She has discovered that if she tries to make a phone call (but not needed to actually answer the call, just wait for the call to start ringing and then hang up), it clears the triangle and the phone reconnects to the network again. Then she will receive any outstanding texts and emails etc.
I wonder if this is a 3 network specific issue? If so, then I am sure flashing a custom ROM and Radio should then fix this issue?
Actually, you know what, I think you may have a point there with it being with 3, cos I had major problems with this 3g H H+ switching issue on my galaxy s 2, it seemed to only affect some ppl on some networks, 3 being one of them, however, I also have a galaxy s 2 again now, and now, (a few months on) it seems to have fixed itself. A lot of the networks, it seems are rolling out software updates or changing actually hardware to get themselves up to speed with protocols such hspa+ so it could be something that irons itself out eventually. Lets hope.
I have the same problem. The duration of loosing network can be shortened if you set WCDMA or GSM only. In case of choosing both of them the phone switches between and can loose the network for a long time. But even if I use GSM only after loosing network it can reconnect after 1 minute and more. It annoys me in the underground - the cells are located at the stations so the phone sometimes can not connect to the next cell on the station during passing it and I have to wait for the next station for recovering of connection.
Hi, I also have the same issue.
Sometimes I turn the screen on, I see a yellow warning in the status bar and have no signal.
A few secons later the device is registering again in the network.
I observed that the signal is also not very stable. There are many signalchanges on the same position, between cdma and gprs (3g,hh,edge)
I don't think it's the Provider, because my old x10 mini pro as not the effects.
my Provider: Germany Telekom (D1)
my Firmware: 4.0.A.2.335
I have no idea what cause this problem. I hope it's the firmware. Maybe the rest can check if you got the same like me.
I have the same problem. Often the signal just goes away during conversation as if I went into a tunnel, even if I don't move at all and I am in the place where there is good signal. The call hangs and the yellow triangle appears. After 10-20 seconds, the signal is recaptured and I get full bars again. This is obviously some kind of software or hardware bug. It is as annoying as the famous noise problem and it MUST be addressed.
Yeah, I've got the same issue w/ T-Mobile in the US.
My G1 never had this problem...
This happened to me also with my ST15i mini. What I did, was i switched into manual in network selection from automatic and after which it never looses its signal.

I'll give that a shot. Did you also select GSM only, or did you leave it as GSM/WCDMA prefered?
edit: Doesn't seem like it worked... GSM only and T-Mobile selected manually, and I still lose network sometimes for no reason.
I also having the same problem on my sk17i...
Normally once I start holding my phone, the signal will completely gone
happened to me also with my sk17i.

Firmware: 4.0.A.2.335

Yes i tried my sim on other phones it have 5signal bars
Signal working perfect with 2g or edge but when using cdma (3g i mean) i always have around 2 3 bars maybe 1 bar at times
Other times i have no signal at all..
When i make calls on 3g sometimes i can hear the other person as just noise (some sort of annoying whistling) please anyone tell me how to fix this.. this the best smartphone to date.
WHAT THE HELL!?
Btw auto 2g/3g/lte doesnt do shi' bcause it's always reverting to edge which is stone age speed
I live in egypt..
3g was working fine anyways with my lg g2 earlier..
Hi, im facing a big problem, the signal in my phone goes on and off every time, i livei a place where the signal is very good. it has happened to me with two sim cards with differents networks providers. the one i had worked even worst! this one is a bit better but still losing signal in places that i know are very good with cellular reception, because my dad has another phone (Moto G2) and its full bars with the same network provider. i dont know is it a software problem. my baseband its XXMS4 or if it is a hardware problem. please i hope someone can help me
