I was just wondering if anyone has had trouble switching from 2G-to-3G and back? I'm on Orange and once I'm on 2G it won't budge to 3G or H.
I know the signal is there as when I force the phone into WCDMA only mode it picks up 3G but if that's not available it's obviously not able to switch back down.
Update: Okay, I've done both a soft and hard reset on the phone, switched it to WCDMA and back to Auto several times, pulled the battery out to do a few cold reboots, selected 'Orange' as my carrier manually and I'm STILL not picking up 3G after I've gone down to 2G. I don't really want to flash my phone via Odin as there's no guarantee it will work and I don't want to lose updates via Kies.
Any idea that to do?
Update 2: Just re-flashed using Odin as per the guide and it still doesn't work.
I really don't know what to do now
Update 3: After all of that it looks like it was bloody Orange's fault! There is a fault with the 3G in Bristol which is forcing people to use WCDMA only for now. Hopefully it'll all be fixed by tomorrow and I nabbed a fiver off 'em.
I Have Asked My Frnd About your problem! my frnd hasnt yet faced any problem !
There are extensive threads in this forum regarding 2g/3g switiching issues or connectivity issues..try and search it, maybe yours is having the same problem.

Oh not a-bloody-gain! They've already replaced my phone for another one and now I have to reflash?! I'm getting a little sick of this phone (or rather its software) now.

I've the same problem phone won't automatically switch to 3g unless i change it to WCDMA only. My last phone a i8910 would automatically switch to 3g for internet access if available the s2 doesn't......
I have an unlocked unrooted S3 on Vodafone UK. This issue has been happening for the last few days whereby i have full 3G/H+ connection, but absolutely no data is working. No email, no websites loading, no whatsapp, nothing. The issue goes away as soon as I restart my phone, but then it comes back after a few hours.
Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how have you fixed it?
Go back to your network/phone provider .
Or flash different modem .
jje
I am having this issue too. I may be wrong, but i realise this happens if i turn off my Wifi, the 3G will not want to connect to the 3G network.. Anyone else having such problem?
By the way mine is International version (Location: Singapore)
I'm having a similar problem where I have a good 3G/H/H+ connection but data seems to drop intermittently across all applications - I get the same sort of error message in browsers/facebook/twitter that you receive when you have no signal.
Anyone have anything similar and know of any fix?
I am not having such issue so far. I been updating my SGS3 using over-the-air update. I guess the MODEM has been updated as well.
Go to market and download "fast dormancy"(by gorkhanmoral) then disable it and reboot.
Check if your speed has improved,if it got worse then enable it again.
U need ROOT to use this tool.
I it didn't help, then flash a different modem
This is good modem
Cwm flashable

have you got any battery saving app like juice defender installed in your phone?
Is mobile data working at all? or is it constantly "uploading" but never "downloading" (up arrow lights but not down).
If what I just described is your issue then this is a network issue relating to android in general.
Basically your phone will be connected to two radio towers and gets confused as to which one it should use, rebooting or flight mode may help force it onto one tower or you may have to speak to your carriers "high network technical team" or whatever they are called for you to get them to force it onto one tower.
I had this issue on the HTC hero (a long time ago now) and it took 9 months for Orange UK to work out what was going on.

Congrats. Orange Luxembourg (my gf's network provider) still hasn't got a clue.. But they seem rather clueless about everything except writing invoices.
Flashing an Asian modem on her S2 made the issue far less prominent since they seem not to get confused by antenna ping-pong. (Tango Luxembourg, my carrier, has this issue too in the main city)
So around 3 weeks ago I got a brand new unlocked Z2 D6503. As it says, it supports LTE and the bands it support are available and broadcasted here in KSA.
I'm on the operator Zain KSA and when I manually search for mobile networks, I do see the LTE network by the operator but whenever I select it, it doesn't register on it.
I've tried everything from calling/visiting the network operator from changing the SIM and getting a new one.
The FW I have is .314
Anyone has any experience or any idea? Do I need to reflash the FW?
May be enter the correct APN settings for your carrier?

Firstly, are you on an LTE plan? For Singapore, we need to sign up to an LTE plan and the operator has to do the necessary activation, before we can register on the LTE network.

That's the thing, I already had 4G activated, and I specially got it deactivated and activated again on this handset. 4G coverage is in my area, each and everything is in optimal condition. The network operator says everything is also fine at their end...

Yup everything is configured correctly
I can confirm that it is the handset that is not registering LTE.
I just popped in a working LTE SIM which has full coverage in my area and Z2 fails to register it...
Well I can't say much about LTE since I am on 3G data plan so can't use it. But the funny thing happened that I was on Edge connection, even tho I was in city centre and I could use 3G, it was full. So went into phone options and changed into 3G only and then Z2 has magically seen the better connection. Try to do that for LTE, maybe it will work. Otherwise I would flash other firmware or repair with PCC.

Okay so actually solved the issue.
I reinstalled/repaired the FW using Sony PC Companion and now LTE works perfectly. But the side effect? I heard that 4.4.2 causes many bugs and seems like I just got the phone sluggish one.
Phone feels sluggish in different parts as well as when I tap the recent icons button. Also the animation for WiFi turning on and off is not there anymore...
I don't know what's happening anymore....:/
I too have a bit of a lag when I hit recents menu button. I guess it's just the way Z2 is now and we have to wait for new firmwares, hopefully with less bugs, to come.
Happy for you that you fixed the problem with LTE

Yeah, seems like we'll just have to wait for 4.4.4 to hit...
Sad how the animations worked and there was no lag but sadly no LTE functionality. Such bad FW release.
And yeah atleast I fixed the LTE issue as I really can't stand slow internet and H+ seems pretty slow to me.
Same problem...install the new software through PC companion still the problem

I have a problem with my Galaxy s6 Edge.
When browsing the web with only mobile data turned on, wether using edge/3g/lte, the mobile loses connection .
I still have connection visible in the status bar, but wepages stop recieving data and it just stays hanging, with the loading bar at the same place. It can be fine for 3-4 minutes and then start to act up again.
One sollution is to toggle data connection on/off, then it will work again, but only for a couple of minutes. My phone is unrooted. I have tried factory reset. I have tried using the different settings in mobile data; just gsm7just wcdma and wcdma/gsm- automatic etc. The signal strenght seem to be about 75-77dbma.
Do anyone have the same problem, know of a cause for this, or have possible a sollution? Please share
I've had a similar issue a few times now. No discernable cause. Solved by airplane mode toggle.

Yes, I will try that, but think thats about the same effect as toogling data. It helps, but the problem is still there. I sent an mail to Samsung about this issue. Hope it is software related and can be fixed. Its frustrating cause I`m reliant on stable data connection. When logging in again, the webpage has changed and i`ve lost my opportunity.

I have the same issue, and connection drop even if u you are in thetering mode(wifi/usb)
I got new mobile (replaced from vendor) and the new one have similar issue.
I try on lte/wcdma - only wcdma, with one apn and so on.... nothing to do problem is still there...
Sorry to hear that! Its a shame paying this much money and find out about these problems. This phone replaced my s4 because of the "sim card not detected-restart" error on the s4. First Samsung denied the issue. When they admitted it, I had already opened it up and exchanged the sim card reader, and lost warranty. That was not the fix.
Hope the issue will be fixed with updates. Lesson learned- Dont buy first batch of mobiles. Wait for prices to go down, and a more mature hardware.

I have the exact same issue on my s6. I can't figure out why it happens. It appears and disappears for no obvious reason. I wouldn't mind waiting for a software update to solve the problem but I can't stop wondering if I have a defective unit.
I' starting to wonder if there are network changes on the phobecausing this. The signal keeps going from H to H+. And maybe the adapter has to reset before it can download again. Just a hunch, but I have noe knowledge about what's happening.
But, if this was a widespread problem, I think more people would come forward saying they have this issue. If they don't have it, then maybe we got bad lemons, and we have too keep exchanging til we find one that works.
Its an software problem ( i guess of managing "swap" between h h+ and LTE. after 7 day of test i got the mobile replaced from mediaworld, and the new one have the same issue.
Im from italy with Vodafone, maybe all of us are vodafone.
can be interesting discover from where we are and our mobile company.

I'm using "Telenor" here in Norway. They have a 1 month deal with Samsung to be the only supplier of the edge. Tried to get internet/mms setup sent from them, but it said this wasn't available for this phone. But going to their guide, it seems everything I set up as it should.
I tried switching on the data roaming. That seems to solve the issue so far. I haven't had to switch the data on and off for more than 24 hours now. Before this I had to do it multiple times every day. I guess it's safe to say that the problem came from the software side. Let's hope that fix it in the next update. I'm using international version, though.

I just turned on the data roaming, but still on the same service. Now I can't really tell if that really did the trick. I got new firmware update just the day before yesterday and now the network drop is gone. If you haven't got any update yet maybe you just gotta wait. It's eventually fixed.

I have the same problem with a Samsung S6, AOE3. I want to return or change the phone, but I don't know if this is a software or a hardware problem....and to have the same problem with the next phone
I've got the same issue. Only airplane mode on and off helped me. But I've to do it many times during the day. I wrote a letter to Samsung and waiting their response.
Just read about roaming "on" as one of the users mentioned here, still testing.
PS I'm from Russia (on local forum many people has this problem). Hope this is software problem.
Same problem about my s6 edge mobile data connection
Still dont know what happen . I already have note series but there's nothing like this one. this make browsing much harder coz data stuck and keep hanging bout 1-2 minutes. Please make it fix ASAP . I love my s6edge
I am from Canada i have same issue plus my phone does not even have lte/gsm/wcdma option but still when i go on the *#2263# menu and put my phone to lte/wcdma it looses connection in like 5 minutes.
but still if i am connected to the internet same issue connection stops and it starts woking after a minute or so but really really frustating specially with a price tag on this phone.

Hello all,
I do have the following problem which is not new and mentioned in other threads but there is no solution and the threads are quiet old - so I hope it is OK to start a new one:
My LeMax2 is constantly dropping the network signal and the signal is in general very weak (I can only get calls outside, Internet is working irregular "sometimes", outside only. After arrival signal was fine. No difference. Flashed a couple of different custom roms, still fine. Ended up using SmallEUI. After a while (maybe two weeks) signal dropping began. What I tried so far:
- Flashed alternate modem file from SmallEUI, no difference.
- Switched rom back to india20s. Problem stayed the same. -
- Switched to LOS13 (which is still running).
- Entered *#*#4636#*#* switched and set GSM/UMTS band to automatic. Problem got worse.
- flashed various modem files, no difference
- renewed APN settings. No difference.
- Found about 4 threats regarding this problem, can not find a solution. This is exactly my problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/mobile-network-problems-le-max-2-6gb-t3507500
Help? Please? What can I do now?

Have you looked into your carrier? Maybe it's not a device problem..... Try a signal app to see if your connecting to the right bands, getting a good enough signal ....
Have you tried a factory reset?
When I was with T-Mobile they cut service in my area without letting customers know, I ended up buying a signal amplifier for my house to finish out my contract.

Hey,
thank you for your reply. I put the SIM card into another phone and it worked like a charm. So I think it is not the carrier. Rechecked the APN settings also. Regarding the LTE band I am not sure. Most of the time I only get a H+ connection so no LTE band at all. Thing is: The connection was really good with this phone in the beginning.
Factory reset: Yes, and even more (flashed 6 different roms I think and various modems)
Best,
TOM
x829 no signal
i lived in ireland i have x829 from banggood i don't have networking signal strange when i when battery is 0% turn off phone after Charge the battery signal come back for few minutes after again disappear
I have the same problem. I am living in India, and the signal drop is very frequent.
Earlier i only used to get H+, but from few days i get the LTE band but the signal fluctuates almost every second and very unstable - especially the data. The whole mobile network keeps dropping also frequently. Been a pain in the but*
Using RR v5.8 official
This thing solved the LTE stability problem for me:
Type *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer
select phone info
Click the menu on top right on action bar
Select radio band and select band 43
I get decent speeds with some sudden boosts from time to time. PS I am using Airtel in India.
I have the same problem. I am living in sri lanka, and the signal drop is very frequency The whole mobile network keeps dropping also frequently. Been a pain in the but*
i wish to get updates on this problem, cause this is a pain. tried every method mentioned. tried different new roms (rr, LOS, Eui, stock 26s and 21s roms)
Maybe someone has solutions?

Hey, did you have success in resolving the issue?
I had problems too with my le s3 x626, it didn't recognize the sim card anymore, froze, and had to force reboot. Luckily, it was a battery issue. For some reason when the phone goes under 10%, it does that. Easily solved upon charging (happened more than once).
Same issue in the philippines
Heyyo, I'd recommend looking into AEX as @shivatejapeddi recently made a bunch of changes for VoLTE and carrier settings that might help.
Otherwise? It could be your carrier might need further apn and carrier configuration changes in order to work at least on custom ROMs.
Another thing to try? Replacing your /system/etc/apns-conf.xml with this one from the Pixel 2 XL. Download it > reboot to TWRP > mount system > make a copy of that /system/etc/apns-conf.xml somewhere as a backup > replace the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml with the one downloaded > reboot to system > reset apn configuration to defaults to force ROM to reload apns-conf.xml

Has anyone found a solution for this problem? I think I have tried every rom and every medem file but no luck...The one thath works best for me is EUI 30s from Crisbal, but still i some times lose the networksignal from time to time

leeco le 2 x526 : signal if is starting , after i enter inside building ...it drops instant .... try different stock roms . version .and custom roms (now i am on RR 6.0 - good for camera ) .....baseband of my carrier are recognise , 5 diff. modem firmware .... nothing .... any sugestion is worth trying ..... lets find the solution together .
Ok this is super weird but the Leeco Le Max pro I used had the same issue. BUT. When I'd switch on the hotspot, and let someone connect to my Leeco, they get unrestricted LTE speeds. I cannot use my phone data plan but others can using my wifi So. I don't know exactly what's the issue. All those with this issue do check their hotspot capabilities. Thank you.

Hi devrookie,
I did it as you mentioned in your comment above...didnt worked
Selected radio band...there is no option of 43 infact there is nothing to select...
anyone got this resolved guys? i just bought two leeco x520 phones and both have the same issue. wifi keeps dropping over and again every 10 seconds or so. It's like a loop........ drop .. reconnect .. drop .. reconnect .. and so on. tried two roms so far, currently on lineage os 16.0 and have the same issue on this rom too. on top of the connectivity problem, a new problem has came up .. the phone shuts down while playing games which is super annoying. and the phone heats up a lot while recharging the battery. i'm so fed up
