Today I'm having issues with 3g connectivity on my Lumia. The phone just doesn't connect no matter what. I tried restarting it, pulling the SIM but no luck. At first I thought: my bad for cutting the SIM card myself, maybe after some time it got messed up. When I came home I grabbed my gf's 710 and it was behaving the same way (her SIM card is brand new). Coincidence? I don't think so. A friend of mine with the same carrier (H3G) just told me he had no issues whatsoever connecting using 3g connectivity, and he has a Nokia N97. This is starting to piss me off...anybody else having connectivity issues today? It must be something Microsoft/Nokia related. God I'm about to throw this thing off the window.
3g connectivity
I had the same issue the day i bought it..had to reset the phone for 3g to work again and today i face the same issue again!

My God I hope this is not the case, that would be annoying as hell...this is just too weird, why would this happen on two phones at the same time? Geez this is worse than on Android...
Hoping the same..Even im waiting for a workaround to make 3g work on my phone.
Ok, I just woke up and tried again, it works now Microsoft/Nokia have to do something about this tho, this is not acceptable...
Doesnt work for yet..still unablle to figure out why whatsapp is running fine but no other 3g activity happening. Please let me know if u had to do something for 3g to work.

Nothing special really, I simply let it charge overnight, picked it up in the morning and it was working. Yesterday I tried everything: plugged it to the pc, switched flight mode on and off, tuned it off for a few minutes but no luck. The last option would have been draining the battery completely then plug it to the pc to turn it back on, but that wasn't necessary. Really weird...i still need to check if my gf's 710 is working now.
Seriously, this is not good. I noticed it since yesterday again. I had it when I first got my Lumia. I have weird issues such as being able to stream music non-stop over 3G, yet being unable to make or receive calls. What I do to make it work? I switch to airplane mode and back.
I got both Lumia and MicroSIM for free; didn't have these issues for weeks. I got the newest firmware (12072) using cab sender, might be any constellation? Typed on my Lumia btw
Apparently my gf's phone is working as well now, gotta love these random bugs...
Happened the same here, suddenly I got no signal at all, tried everything, didn't want to format the phone so I just waited and some hours later connection was back, but 2g only, next day all was fine with 3g also workin

How long has it been going on like that? Mine started working again after about a day...
6 days now, really getting pissed off. I think its just a faulty model. I'm gonna try to factory reset. Anybody have any other ideas?
6 days is a pretty damn long while...do a factory reset and if the issue is still there you should definitely get it checked. I had no idea this thread would have gethered all of these people, this is something that Nokia should be really looking into...
So i called vodafone and they told me that when i took my new 2 year contract (and got the phone) i also got a new sort of contract that slowed down my internet.. while this makes sense it also doesnt because the speeds they were talking about should still have been fast enough.. But since i also only had 500mb i upgraded and the problem is now gone. everythings really fast again.
One question though: When i pick highest network setting i can only choose 3g.. but with my current contract plan i should get "H". anyone have any info on that?

Ok let me explain what is going on. In Holland (Im dutch also) we have "H" as the symbol for an ACTIVE 3G connection (meaning downloading/uploading data). Where "3G" means an inactive (or not consuming data) 3G connection, this is not worse than H, its the same.
On the US version you will see 3G when not downloading and 3G+ when downloading (which is the same as our H). Whatever letter there is does not matter as long its not a G you have your max speed.
Now also notice that there are a lot of areas where providers can not peovide the maximum speed (crowded/low signal/etc). Make sure you check your speed with full bars and dont be paranoid with data tests. If the speed is reasonable and IE9 can load a decent page, than its ok. If it wont load a page than your 3G does not work.
If your 3G does not work (what was the case for some of you) than set the APN settings manually to your peovider (or use the Nokia Network Setup app), goto Settings --> Cellular --> Edit APN.
Now 3G will work.
Again dont be bothered about whatever Icon it shows, H, 3G or 3G+ its all good (or 4G). As long as there is no G or E you will have the highest connection your phone can receive. This does not guarantee your provider can deliver you what you pay for (probably you get much lower speeds) and they might also cap your speed if you surpass your datalimit (as does TMobile NL with "unlimited internet").
Good luck

I have bought a sim free galaxy s2 5 days back . I am in japan.
From day one I have been facing strange problem. If my 3g disconnects for some
Reason such as going into elevator or traveling in underground,
It doesn't come back. I have to reset my use data package network settings or
Turn on the flight mode and turn it of f again to get connection back.
My apn settings are as per my carrier has suggested.
Because of this issue the phone become almost useless while traveling
Or while going up and down in my office building.
I haven't rooted it yet. Is this firmware problem or hardware.
Please help

Some people including myself are having connection issues when gsm/wcdma auto mode is selected...phone is stable when gsm only is selected..after comparing with 2 other phones,i can confirm this behaviour dosent happen on their phone..and i have to sadly say something is wrong with my phone..why dont you do a little experiment..try selecting gsm only mode and see if your connection is stable..maybe you are having a defective phone like some of us here...untill today i cant figure out if its a hardware fault or some weird software glitch.

Many people including me are having this exact same problem. I am suspecting the modem software, and hoping it will be fixed soon. But please note I also held hope for almost a year that GPS glitches in the first galaxy were fixable with software, and now we all now it wasn't.
I'm having the EXACT same problem! Out of nowhere my 3G connection is 'lost?' and I only see an upward green arrow.. i have to reboot to get this right.. but after a short while.. same problem again!
I live in The Netherlands... I wonder what the problem could be, but even better! THE SOLUTION!!
Resolved!!!!!!!!
@mmichaell I got a great news for you. I could resolve this buggy thing.
Just dial *#*#9900#*#* this will open a pop-up
from which select Disable fast dormancy....and bangggggg the issue is gone..
let me know if you get it right
nope it doesnt work for me. ive also tried *#301279# trick but still problem is there!! wat should i do? return it? its only 1 month old, same connection works flawless on my nokia n8.
This thread is about the famous 'data hanging' problem experience on SGS2's and how to address it on the Three Network in the UK. (Where the green arrow gets stuck on uploading with no download).
The problem from what I understand is that the handset constantly changes between GPRS, 3G, H and H+ to save power. Fast Dormancy is a setting the SGS2 uses to make this even more frequent.
The Three network is pretty flaky, and relies on 'borrowing' signal from other providers. This means EVEN MORE changes. The SGS2 doesn't deal with changes particularly well and due to the sheer number, often gets stuck when a new connection is formed. Cycling data connection will fix the problem temporarily
I get this problem with stock firmware a little and custom firmware a lot.
I do not want to be stuck on KE4 forever and I do not want Three's stupid games installed. I am very annoyed.
Update 19 August 2011
I spoke to Three today. I explained what happened and both the first line rep and his manager knew the problem that I have. They acknowledged that it is an issue that they are in talks with Samsung about trying to fix.
They told me that I can have an exchange, but that EVERY SINGLE ANDROID PHONE ON THEIR NETWORK has this problem.
However they still refused to give me a refund as I'm (well) out of my 14 day cooling off. I told the guy that under the Sale of Goods Act, if something doesn't do what it says on the box I can get a refund for an indefinite 'reasonable' amount of time.
I am getting a call back from his superior this week. Will report on progress, but this is big. Three are selling phones that they know don't work properly on a mass scale. I am going to use this to my advantage.
I bought mine sim free. Was on t mobile for a while and moved the 3 a couple of weeks ago. I've not noticed any problems as you've described. I once had this on O2 though and it turned out to be a localised network fault.
Are you using juicedefender? JD caused that same problem with my old Milestone, but so far it's fine on SGS2 on Three.

Hi guys. I have this phone on Three here in the UK and annoyingly, several times a day, the data stops working. It gets stuck with the uploading arrow in the bar (no download) and will just sit there.
Cycling the radio / flight mode brings it back to life for a few hours. Does anyone else on Three experience this? I need to know if mine is a faulty handset, or if its a network problem.
This happens regardless of which ROM I use.

Mike, mine is exactly the same. It will absolutely fly for most of the day (even sometimes days at a time) and then it will just get stuck. Press and hold power to deactivate, and reactivate 'data network mode' and is well again till next time.
Seems to happen more when the phone has been sleeping for a prolonged time but not always the case. Doesn't appear to be any pattern. Changing ROM makes no difference here and I've quadruple checked my APN settings.

This happens to me most days, I have been rebooting to get back online. I will try the flight mode on and off to see if that helps.
But this is obviously a problem with Three network. I just thought it was Three`s sneaky way of throttling my "as much as you can eat" data plan.
I have KF2 modem and the issue continues.
I am glad to hear that others face the same problem. Is anyone in the UK on another network experienceing it? My friend is on Vodafone and we have the same ROM. He does not experience the issue at all.
Does anyone have a link to a thread which documents this issue?
I rely on Whatsapp and Email for communication, and this stops both from working. I might actually have to send my SGSII back if it continues
I'm on Three UK and have not experienced this problem yet. Shall let you know if/when I do.

Ive definately had this recently. didnt have it b4 though.
I have this problem. Stops my LiveProfile from working properly. Its very random too.
Can be quite annoying.
Hopefully it's a software problem rather than hardware. Only time and updates will tell.
I'm on o2 network with stock KE7 XEU firmware.
Same as op. Three and on ke7
Just went to kf2.
Will see what happens
If anyone manages to fix this, please share.
Incidentally, my bluetooth does a very similar thing with my car stereo. It just freezes and requires cycling off and back on.
I'm on three and get the same issue.
I also do the flight mode recycle.
I'm also using juice defender.
It's not a major issue for me more of an annoyance

So far, this appears to be working!
(although I can no longer check my usage on the Three mobile website, but that's not too much of an issue)
I'll keep this thread updated with my progress.
Incidentally, I did not get this issue until I started flashing ROMs - or at least I didn't notice it.
I've been having this issue the past few nights on Orange. Fine during the day but at night the data stops.
Reboot the phone and it comes back. Just about to try KF2 modem to see if that helps.
yeh i have the same problem.... i can be going on internet browsing away then 4-5 pages in it just stops... and takes 1-2mins load and then just stops all together.

Please do let them know that a number of us are experiencing this. Although it doesn't seem limited to THREE, it definitely isn't on every handset.
Mine still hasn't done it since I changed APN as recommended above though.
Okay, here is my problem: Every once in a while I will completely lose all signal on my phone. It wont pick up 2G, 4G, nothing. Wifi and bluetooth both seem to work though just fine. I've searched and haven't found anyone with the same issues so I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if nobody has commented on it. I first noticed this about two weeks ago, when my phone refused to find service. I was stuck with the little X next to the signal meter. I figured I was just in an area with poor service and didn't think much of it. An hour later, still, no service. This time I went outside where I know I have good 4G service and nothing for 5 minutes. I enabled airplane mode and disabled it, still nothing. Turned the phone off and back on as a last resort. Still nothing. I ended up finishing the day with wifi calling as that still worked. Sometime later my phone began receiving service again so I thought it was a fluke issue.
Then, just yesterday the same thing happened. This was when I rebooted my phone (which bypasses the fastboot feature) and service was restored right away. I called T-mobile and they said there weren't any network issues in my area and they had never heard of this issue before on the Amaze.
So, this is where I'm asking if anyone has heard of this before. I'm running a stock ROM and it hasn't been rooted. Thanks for any comments!
This might help just a touch. I do live in an area with decent service but my couch and bedroom are deadzones for some odd reason. I bought these signal boosters for 2 bucks figuring "what the hell, I'll give it a shot". No more dead zones, and data went from E to G. Not a miracle worker but for a couple bucks it keeps a signal at least.

Wireless Coverage
I have 2 brand new Amaze 4G for a few months now and had no problem with the coverage. I know the coverage is good with full signal bars and have not found any issue with coverage.
Sometimes, different phones have different received signal sensitivity. Also depends on user behavior. If you are always using a handsfree device (cable or BT) and your phone is in a bag, then your coverage is reduced by your action. The best coverage you can ever get is when you have line of sight (unobstructed) to the cell towers.
There are a few issues with your problem:
1-Poor inbuilding coverage
2-Poor coverage in your area
3-Network optimization issue
4-Hardware issue
If you are going from 1 bar to no bar, then most likely you have coverage issue. You lost signal since the level is already very low.
If you are going from full bar to no bar, you might have hardware or network optimization issue. Try your phone is the city or area with known good coverage first. If the behavior persists, then you have phone problem.
I used to manage wireless network for carriers.
same issue
I've had the exact same thing happen to me. Red x, no signal except wifi, in places where signal is not normally an issue. Battery pull doesn't work, return to signal seems arbitrary. Had the same thing happen with my Desire. I have no answers, but you are not alone.
Yup, it happened with my first Amaze. I got it back in January and started playing with it - rooting, custom ROMs, etc. Then later that day, the signal just died on me. I thought I must've screwed something up, so I flashed back to everything stock. No luck. I waited for half a day, then it randomly started working again at night.
You probably noticed tha tI said that happened with my first amaze. That's because after that signal issue, I discovered that my camera stopped working. I returned it to T-Mobile and they sent me another one. This one is working great though.
Well thank you for all the input so far. Id like to say that this isn't my first cell phone and I'm not new to weak or poor signal areas, especially from T-mobile. I was using my phone at work at the time, which has anywhere from no signal to 3 bars depending on where you are. This wasn't one of the cases that I was standing in a dead zone when I checked my phone. I had no signal for several hours, including over 30 minutes of standing outside trying everything I could think of. I have had excellent signal outside in the past, exactly where I was "Hiding". I got the Amaze because I was tired of playing with my old HD2 and having to work around bugs and possibly not receiving calls. So far, I'm not happy that the radio seems to quit responding all together and leaves me without a phone (minus the wifi calling but I'm not always around a hotspot).
I also experienced a dramatic signal loss at home, going from full signal strength to maybe one bar right around the time that I first had issues. I don't know if this is related or if this is a completely different thing.
I am 99% sure this is an error with the phone - probably software related with the radio driver(s) or radio firmware. I guess I will try taking it back to T-mobile and seeing if they could exchange it for a new one. I was just really wanting to avoid that as I finally got my phone setup how I like it. Again, Thank you for the input and let me know if you are having the same problem or if you know of a solution.
I am on my third Amaze and also tried a Galaxy SII X due to the same problem at my home. Even the Samsung did the same thing. In my house and especially in the driveway, the signal varies wildly between -85dbm to as low as -111dbm. The frustrating thing is once it loses the signal, it doesn't seem to reacquire it without a reboot.
I'm with Telus, and they said they will check on it, but I'm not holding my breath. In my immediate area, outside my house, the signal isn't great, but it will usually hang on. I have been to different cities, and all has been well with it. Coming from a rock steady 2G Touch Pro II, I am disappointed as well..
I am new here to this site, but I am having a similar problem with my Amaze. At work I always have a weak 4G signal, but the last few days it has been gone altogether. I have full phone service (4 bars) but no data. The 4G indicates I have signal, but I can't connect to anything on the web. I called HTC and they had me pull my battery and sim card so they could send a "reset signal" to my phone. After my phone came back up I had faster service than ever, but it only lasted a few minutes and went away again. I am thinking this is a phone issue. Oh, the Amaze is my first Android. My only previous smartphone was my Nokia E71x.
I know if I have WiFi calling selected, an x will show up on my signal if i turn WiFi on. I've personally only had slow data in the area I work. I blame it on the fact that it is a busy corporate park with lots of hotels, cuz my signal is fine elsewhere. Try calling tmobile and seeing if they have known tower issues in your area. I know I had that problem with sprint and they sent me a free airave. Maybe tmobile could do something similar if its.a known problem.

It's most likely a network issue. I get the same thing, it will timeout/refresh the network where it will not get a signal for about 30 seconds a few times per day. I blame the network, since the same thing happened to me with my mt4g

Thank you! This fixed it for me. It was happening only today while I had WiFi enabled, it would turn the mobile radio off completely and the box would be grayed out so I was unable to turn it back on. I had my sim updated today to enable wifi calling so after I read your post, I turned the wifi calling off and the mobile radio signal came back immediately. Strange bug.

I was told It's by design. It saved battery life by not constantly searching for a mobile network it won't use (due to wifi calling). It's not like you can hand off the call to the local network. I do notice that if i start walking outside, once my wifi hits a low signal it logs back on the network.

There is actually an option to specify how the WIFI calling works: either all the time or only when cellular signal is gone. Sounds like you have it set to be on all the time. This means that if you have a good WIFI connection, the cellular radio is shut off and all traffic goes through the WIFI calling app. The other option (which I use) only uses wifi calling when there is no cellular signal.
I have lost cellular signal 3 additional times since my last post. Its not just that I'm in a bad spot and I have no signal for 30 seconds. This goes on for 30 minutes or more - up to several hours. I have found that rebooting the phone fixes it as I believe it completely (as much as possible) removes power from the radio and requires it to be completely re-initiated during the reboot. Simply shutting it off doesn't work as the quickboot is enabled and most likely doesn't perform a complete re-initialization of the radio. My only guess at this point is that there is some kind of possible leftover code from development which never was removed from the radio (this happens more times than not). It could be a timeout or simply causing the radio to hang because of 1. excessive heat generation, 2. excessive power drain, 3. buffer overflow, 4. excessive RF transmit power... In any case, one of those issues could trigger an event in the radio to cause it to simply stop responding.
I am in the process of trying to get T-Mobile to get me a new phone as I am outside of the 30-day window. I have also confirmed it with them that this was not a tower issue.
Thanks

Hmmmm who is dear? Lol.... Ne ways, well first off, I commend you for digging this thread up rather than just starting a new thread without even looking first :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: I can't say I've ever seen someone who hasn't even been a member for 1 full day do that. Shoot, I see senior members start new threads or pointless threads without searching first, so good job haha.
Ok, back on topic now, if it's only dropping when you go in your room, then I don't think it's anything wrong with the phone. Not sure who your provider is, but u may be able to call them and have them look up your address and tell you what kind of signal u should get outside your house, and what to expect inside your house. I know t-mobile does at least

Well your situation is a little different than other peoples in this thread if u can't connect al all. Ok wait so first off, it won't connect to a network at all? AND you only paid 50 bucks for it...? Sounds a little fishy to me bud, why did he say he was selling it...?
Next thing, I don't know why a t-mo rep would tell you to root the phone, rooting has no effect on your signal strength or your ability to connect to a network.
And lastly, is the phone a T-Mobile branded amaze owhat carrierr...? and will it not connect at all, period, or can u make calls just not data...?

If the normal connection won't restore after the wiping cash & dalvik cash, you probably have to consider this awesome app:

Hi,
I'm new to the forum so apologise in advance if this is a stupid question.
I recently bought a Sim Free S3. I haven't rooted it as i'm quite happy with the stock os for now. Everything had been working very smoothly on it. But since getting the over the air update for it my data signal randomly drops out or freezes. It seems to do it over WiFi too. It does this even though it shows a wifi connection or with the H+ visible. I've also noticed it cycle through H+ to 3G and back again.
Sometimes the signal works again on it's own and other times i have to switch the phone off and on aain.
I find it happens on tweakdeck the most but has also happened whilst browsing the net.
Do you think this could be linked to the update or could this just be a coincidence and there's an underlying hardware fault.
Let the new update run for a little bit...let it settle in
It might just be the spot u in and I doubt its the phone
Might be uodate but how long u been on the update?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Think the update came through on Tuesday.
Will give it a few more days to settle and see how it goes.
Thanks.
Still having an issue with this.
My internet worked all weekend then today started to fail on me again today.
The phone shows a HSPA connection but will not download any data.
I know it's not the network as my wife is on the same network and is having no issues.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Same problem
I am having the same problem here. I just bought SGS3 about 3 days ago and I started noticing data drop out yesterday. I wish someone could help me. I was hoping the problem to be solved by the time we get firmware update.
BTW, I am also having problem using usb tethering or wifi hotspot. After using usb tethering for about 10 minutes, it stops connecting although the phone still has data connection.
Is it hardware or software problem???
Thanks!!!

The new firmware may be showing the correct signal quality now. My wife's device is the same since the update.
If you don't loose reception then I would not worry about it. If you want to you could get a new sim card for free @ a T-Mobile store. Just tell them Tech Support said to go and get a free sim replacement.
It could be worse, your mobile data AND wifi could become inoperative for several hours after accepting the new update. My wife found that issue out when she updated her stock L769 yesterday. rofl XD
Have you had any better luck with the signal i only get good service when i check tje 2g
Do you mean the Jb wifi bug?
Every second time when waking from standby Wifi signal strength reads 0db and speed –1mbit. Works fine though and toggling lockscreen fixes it. I fear however that this makes the phone use max wifi transmission power, draining the battery more.

My wife uses simple bar-style phone which costs few dollars. She hates touchscreen phones. But when she throws that phone at me, I get wound and blood on my forehead but that damn phone does not break. Then I hide my L9, coz I simply dont want her to throw L9 at me at that speed. It will sure break.......kidding :laugh: he he he
Network signal 117dBm on 4g and 75 dBm on 2g why the problem. I need help
