Losing signal overnight - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Hey guys
Just bought an Alpha and im very happy with it, But, it keeps losing service overnight.
The phone stays charging overnight and when i wake up its not registered on the network. I just reboot it and its ok again.
I Updated the firmware to last version (says KIES) but the problem still presists. Looks like he goes on netwoork sleep mode or something.
I just changed the network mode settings to "Only wcdma/gsm" cause it could be the mobile phone trying to connect to LTE during the night, with no success. Let's see if that helps.
I searched the forum but could't find any thread related to this.
Is this a common problem?
Thanks in advance

Weird GSM problem: cannot register on the network

Suddenly this morning my GSM died. No, it actually didn't die. When I go to phone settings/network and choose manual, it searches and finds all networks in my region, but then I choose the network my SIM belongs to and the phone says it cannot register on the network. I tried flashing a new radio, stripped ATT radio, new ROM etc. always the same problem. By the way the green flashing led is not working as well. When the phone initially boots, the GSM version is displayed correctly.
So, did anybody had a similar problem before?
somehow it is working back now after over 36 hours of death. I left it in airplane mode through the night and replaced the battery before going to sleep (I had a spare). Now it is functional. I don't know what the problem was, but may be the battery. I will try it with the other battery later and let you know.

[Q]

I have searched Google but this problem seems to be unique to my sgs2.
I got my sgs2 from UK a week back. Its O2 branded with latest official firmware (2.3.3 and XXKE7), that's what see from phone info. I am using it on 2g network in Pakistan. The mobile works fine and connected to mobile network quickly after 1st boot. But after sometime, when i woke it up from sleep mode, it had lost mobile network connection and went to emergency calls only. This is continuing to happen everyday. I have noticed that it usually happens when the phone is turned on from prolonged sleep, esp in the morning when i wake it up. The network signals show full strength and it also searches all networks available but when i select my network it says , unable to connect try later. The only resolution is that i have to reboot the phone and it automatically selects the network. however that too doesn't work always and i have to reboot several time. Somebody suggested to kill Dialer and reconnect but it didn't help either.
Please help!!!

First update phone to newer version.
Second it might be a sim card problem. Especially if it is a very old card. Try with a newer card.
Report back.

Upgrade the firmware, but before this make a factory reset. If your phone is branded you can unbrand it if u want
KE7 is very old ( it was released like June) i remember i also had some problems with it, like random reboots and freezes hope it helps

JJE/Mario: Guys I have come back after a while since It took me longer to flash the ROM. I have updated it with XXKG5 ROM that I found on Intertech post, but to my astonishment, my problem remains the same. Phone stays on "emergency call only" after wake up or when I move few miles from my place. Sometimes it stays on this mode throughout the day. Strangely, GPRS/Edge works, however I do not see the 2 arrows radio symbol in notification area.
Is my phone damned or there is any hope?
Same problem..

that worked for me, but the problem had nothing to do with the imei number, if you look carefully. Also I think This is just temporary and it's going to revert back to emergency calls only. I'll let you know when that happens again

Keep losing data connection.

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 .

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)

[Q] My D620 loses gsm (network) signal completely

Hello,
I'm losing my wits, hope you can help me..
My G2 mini (new) worked flawlessly for a couple of weeks, then suddenly lost all network signal. After a few days, thinking it was a software issue, i unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, and installed CM11. An hour later - full GSM signal. For a few hours.. Since then, i've been having random x hours with, y hours without GSM signal, with absolutely no reason for the changes (phone laying on the table, absolutely no user input).
It might very well be a hardware issue, but my google-fu failed me big time, all i seem to find are GPS issues (which is not the case here, especially since i don't need GPS on this particular device).
Here's a breakdown:
- The phone originally worked with no signal loss (original OS)
- Unlocked bootloader, rooted, installed CM11
- Signal works for a few hours every day (random pattern), loses it just as miraculously.
- Device finds no networks when using the in-built search functions, but i receive no error message. When using Automatic registration, the phone displays: "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later".
- My SIM card works fine in my D802, same issues occur on the D620 with a different SIM card (which also works without fault in the D802), so it's definitely a phone issue.
Questions: Anyone have any idea what's going on? Could it be a baseband flaw? Is there a way to (re)install the baseband, to eliminate any possible software issues?
I have disassembled the case, and all pins have wear marks embedded, which means there's plenty of contact, as far as i can see.
Thanks in advance, guys!

Unfortunately, my issue seems much more severe. Toggling the airplane mode, restarting the phone, nothing seems to work. It just regains the signal whenever it feels like it. For instance, it's been "off" for a few days now, with the exception of 2-3 hours a couple of days ago.
Thanks for your input, though!

With the latest release the problem disappeared. With previous releases I would open the phone sometimes and it wouldn't have any signal. I either had to restart it or toggle airplane mode on and off....

Sm-s102dl no service

Greetings everyone....
I've been battling with a problem quite some time now but to no avail, please you support will be appreciated. below is the breakdown of what happened:
I have a samsung galaxy phone A10e, model no: SM-S102DL, it was network locked to Tracfone. Gladly I found someone who unlocked it remotely. it worked perfectly for 2 weeks and some days, the network started misbehaving- fluctuating seriously, it got to the point that the network become totally bad- no service.
I met the person who unlocked it, he said everything was fine, he hinted maybe the phone need firmware.
Upgraded the firmware from android 9 to 10, still the same, I reflash the phone using the CSC without home to completely wipe the device, still the same.
right now, it appears the case is worse, because the device get hot and the battery drains faster, I noticed the airplane mode will be activating itself intermittently without stopping, *06# and *0011# take forever to load. additionally, when I removed the SIM, the no service still remains, it doesn't change to emergency, and insert SIM only pops up once in a while, intermittently with airplane mode doing its own sideways.
i tried to downgrade it, but no way, I even tried to activate "OEM unlock" but the option was and still not present in the developer option.
I'm stuck I don't know what to do.
please help!
