running cm7.1
at various times i'll get "Emergency Calls Only" on the lock screen even though it shows full (or partial) reception bars.
trying to make a call says "data network not available" or something like that.
reboot restores full service.
why why why does it do this?
is there a better way than rebooting? airplane mode on/off?
is there a way to have it bug me when this happens so i can reboot? (tasker?)
between this, the sleep of death, earpiece turning off during calls, and pretty bad force closes on the camera and browser i'm almost ready to go back to an iphone.
thanks!

Did this happen to you on the stock rom? Honestly, it sounds like it could be a bad sim card but I am by no means the most knowledgeable person ever.

not that i know of. but at first i thought it was ATT messing with me.
and i was also only on stock rom for like 5 minutes.
this has happened maybe 4 times over the past 6 months.
so it's hard to correlate with anything, but i'll try removing and replacing the SIM. if it continues and i don't get any other ideas, i'll get ATT to replace it

I've had an issue ever since I switched to Sprint and this phone.
Every once and a while the phone seems to loose connection to the network, but not tell me. My bars remain 3-5 and sometimes stay blue (sometimes they go gray). HOWEVER, all my Emails and Texts get backed up. They don't come through.
The first time I noticed I restarted the phone in the morning, and a ton of texts came through. Now that I've noticed I restart the radio ever so often if my phone goes a long time without any emails/texts and half the time stuff starts coming through again.
I think its the phone not the network though, any ideas?

It's not the phone. Call customer care and have them refresh your profile.

I also have the same problem. I've updated my profile several times through the system updates on the phone itself and still the same?

I turn airplane mode on/off. Not sure if that's really "restarting" it but it fixes it faster than restarting the phone.
If I call tech support and ask them to update it they'll know what I mean right away?
EDIT: Also, what's the deal with this? Never experienced having to update my profile when I was with Verizon.
In the settings menu there are settings to disable the data connection, etc while the phone sleeps (screen off).. Verify that you have yours set the way you want it before calling tech support

All of those types of settings are OK. No battery saving stuff. I called and the woman said she was "refreshing" something to my phone. We'll see if it works.
Here's an issue I've had for quite awhile, but it's been so intermittent I haven't taken the time to write about it until now.
Sometimes after I haven't turned on the "data" network on my phone for a few days, I'll find it won't turn on at all until I reboot the phone.
I don't use data that often, I just keep wifi on most of the time. The data allowance on my phone plan is extremely limited (only 100mb) so I keep it off unless I need it. Since I can go for days without turning it on, sometimes I'll find out that it just doesn't turn on at all (the box is checked but it doesn't connect) until I've rebooted the phone. Once it's back up it connects to the data no problem.
I've been on CM7 for the last month and GingerLOL before that, and this has happened on both ROMs. That makes me think it's a hardware issue, but I thought I'd check here first in case anyone else has had this happen to them. I'd also really rather not have to go through the trouble of setting the phone back to stock and unrooting it (that's possible, right?) before I make a warranty claim.
So, has anyone had this issue on their phone?
Thought I'd try bumping this thread since nobody responded to it the first time.
I've since upgraded to CM9 but the issue persists, if I don't use data for a couple days then it won't turn on. The toggle will say "on" but the icon never appears in the notification bar. Am I really the only one this happens to?
Does leaving data on drain power when you're using wifi?

instead of rebooting, use airplane mode.
it will be faster!

I'll try that next time it happens, thanks.
This has been like this for the past several roms I've ran. Basically when the screen is off, I do not receive text messages. When I turn the screen on, I get all of my notifications basically instantly. Is there a setting I'm missing here that shuts off connection when the screen is off? Right now I'm on venusaur rom.

This happened to me once when I somehow had sync over 3G disabled, AND have the setting to disable wifi when the screen sleeps enabled
Check account & sync in settings, and check the advanced wifi menu in settings as well.
I always leave wifi off because I have an unlimited plan. So I do have it so wifi shuts off when the screen is turned off and to never auto turn on. Not sure if that has anything to do with not receiving texts.
In accounts and sync I do not see any sort of option to sync over 3G. Overall its enabled though.

Well, have you flashed any radios or anything like that on this phone?
I have not flashed any radios at all.

SMS has nothing to do with wifi or data. So it shouldn't affect the normal texts coming in.
MMS that is a different story.

Thats what I thought which is why I can't seem to think of what would be causing this. Sometimes it comes through four-five minutes late and other times it will not come through at all until I turn the screen on. This has only been happening relatively recently and I'm in a constant five bar area.

I have the same issue...but I am completely stock, unrooted.
(I am also in a great reception area, and this has started only in the past 2 weeks)

Yeah that sounds exactly like what's up with my phone. Past two weeks is a very good time frame for when this started happening.
I've been having this for a while regardless of rom :/
Are you in some kind of "power-save" mode?
No power save mode that I know of.
Best advice I can think of is to run a ruu again. Then clean install a Rom. That way you will be starting fresh.

Are any of you running anything like Juice Defender? Maybe you can download Juice Defender to help you find the option to allow screen off operations.
Alternatively, you can try going to: Settings, Power, Power Mode, change to High Performance.
> using my Rezound/Vigor
No Juice Defender or anything here.
And I just noticed this. I went to send a text message and turned the screen off. I went to check twenty minutes later to see if there was a reply and the timer was still going. After a few seconds of the screen being on it said text sent. This is a huge issue.
Yo
Did you try Gorillas suggestion above?
My Zound sleeps too deeply for me unless
Power setting is High Performance mode.
Worth a try....
I don't know where that option is. He said it was under power settings, but there is no option to select modes from there.
.
Nick,
Check Settings - Power - see 3rd item down from top "POWER MODE",
choose it and see Economy, Norbal, and High Performance.
Choose High Performance and your radios will behave better, at least
mine do.....
That option isn't there. When I click power it goes, battery status, battery level, battery use and fast boot.

I don't have power mode. I remember see in it before though. Just not where....
I haven't noticed anyone talking about it lately. Has everyone just accepted it or is there a fix that I've missed? Mine still does it at my house.
Once or twice a week I notice my wifi and Bluetooth both drop off at the same time. They come back in a bit so it's really not a big deal for me.

Yes WiFi and 3g disconnects.
I'm still getting them pretty often actually.
Often here also. To often imo

Cool thanks for replying guys. It happens so often at my house that it really makes it difficult to get much done. I would just use 3G, but lord have mercy is it slow. I'm assuming HTC will fix it in a software update, right? Right? Right? lol
It use to happen to me all the time until I changed the frequency band settings from "Auto" to "2.4GHz only"
Edit: it doesn't drop if I set it to "5GHz only" also
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Yeah i've tried that trick but it still disconnects like crazy. The weird part for me is that it only happens at my house with my router. So maybe it's disagreeing with my router for some reason. But I've had 4 different phones, a laptop, and my wife's iPhone all connect to the home WiFi with no problems and no disconnects.
Hmmm, hadn't thought about the frequency setting; I'll try that and let you know if it works for me. Might be one of those "your mileage may vary tricks"
Possible Fix
I was also having issues with WiFi disconnecting. (Not often) My main issue is that I wouldnt receive notifications from apps while on WiFi and screen was off for more that 45mins putting the phone into "sleep" mode (GTalk, Gmail, Facebook, etc) unless I turned on the screen. I installed this app from the Play Store "Hidden Settings" Dev. Derek R Reynolds which puts a "Power Saver Settings" app in the app drawer. It gives you access to a hidden menu that you can't normally get to. While in the App I unchecked "Put Data Connection to sleep" and that has resloved my issues. I haven't seen the WiFi get disconnected and I am receiving my notifications like normal. I have only had this solution for 1 day so I will report back if there are any other changes.
My Phone not Rooted.
I do not take credit for this possible solution. All creadit goes to the Dev's that figured this out. I simply read about it on another thread..
Hi, I have the Tmobile version of LG G5 H830 and after android 8.0 Oreo update, the Wifi keeps disconnecting (it doesn't TURN OFF) some minutes after locking the phone, altough it seems like it would "turn off" bc when I unlock phone, it won't reconnect automatically, have to manually do so, network would say "saved" or "disabled". I'm not sure how long after screen off this happens but I'd say anywhere between 10-30 mins. YES, the "keep wifi ON when screen is OFF" option is enabled in "Advanced Wifi" settings. This is quite anoying bc my phone number and calls work on data/wifi (google number + hangouts) so I put my phone in airplane mode with wifi ON only when at home to avoid strong radio signal near my body so, if it disconnects, I wont get any calls or msgs or anything, might miss something important, plus, I use whatsapp web on laptop and every so often will say "phone not connected" and msgs wont update, cant send, etc, that's when I grab phone to reconnect it manually.
I just tried disabling the "keep wifi on when screen is off" setting and re-enabling it to see what happens, will let u know if fixed
Update: Confirmed, issue is still happening.
PD: Phone is not rooted, stock Tmobile ROM
try a soft reset followed by a lgup flash, see what happens

I noticed it only happens if the wifi signal is weak, say 1 bar. For now I'm just working on the reception, like leaving the phone nearer to modem and specially not covering it with anything. If it worsens I might try something drastic like that.
But hey, ty very much! Greetings from Cartagena, Colombia.
PD: I remember seeing an option in older android phones like Motorola DROID family I think they were android ICS, that said something like "skip weak signals" or smth similar and I always disabled it bc it would not connect to 1 bar signals, but I don't see such option or anything similar in this one. It seems to be in a: "skip weak signals when screen is off" mode.
