Anyone experiencing LTE data issue like me?
Signal indicator stays full 5 bars but completely loosing internet connection for about 1~2 minutes. It happens randomly like ten times or more a day.
I'm in socal Los Angeles area.
Any suggestion for this kind of issue?
Doesn't happen to be connected to band 12 when you have no internet is it, here in Maine the only times ive been on band 12 no matter the signal strength there is no internet on the band.

Oh, yeah.. Seems like band 12 is the problem. I just deselected band 12 from band selection. Let's see if this fixes the problem. Thank you.
Loosing internet connection is happening on band 2 also. It is not LTE band problem maybe?

I just switched from Tmobile to Vodafone and before, the mobile network was always H and now on Vodafone, it goes between 3G and H. Does anyone else who has Vodafone experiencing this? It seems weird that it would be switching between the two. Maybe Tmobile just had better HSPA coverage....?
I'm on vodafone NL too. Indeed it switches between the H and the 3G. I noticed though that it only switches to H if you are actually using the connection, otherwise it just stays on 3G. Try updating the weather for instance, you'll see it switching.
That's what I noticed as well, I just thought it was strange. Good to know though.
What do you think of their coverage? I just switched, so maybe that might have something to do with it, but last night I couldn't get any service in my bedroom but with Tmobile, I had a full signal...
I live in noord-holland, and coverage is pretty good. Wherever I am I get at least 3G. Vodafone hasnt been very reliable though. There were two crashes on their network a few weeks ago that crippled the data network but they fixed those errors within a couple of hours, so nothing to really worry about. No problems since.
Same here in the UK with T-Mobile.
When I first had the phone I'd almost never see 3G, just H or G. Now, I regularly get 3G but as soon as I start to use the data connection it usually switches to H.
I thought at first it was a result of me upgrading the radio, but I'm not so certain now. However, data speeds seem good so I'm not concerned.

I have UK SGS II and I am on the bell netowrk in Canada and I am finding that the 3G/H+ signal randomly drops and I lose connection every now and then. I am always in aread with strong reception as well. Any possible solutions?
Thank you
anyone have any ideas
?
I have the same but it doesn't drop anything, in area's where there is H+ coverage it will show H+ otherwise it just shows 3G.
Maybe you want to enable 3G only on your device so it won't switch between all the time.

I have the same problem here in Argentina. It seems that one of our local operators does not support the 3G/HSDPA of this phone (maybe because it is from europe ? ). Did you try to use the browser and surf the internet? I doesn't work here. Strange, because for 3G we use the 850Mhz spectrum.
What I noticed is that the 3G/H icon at the top is constantly changing from 3G to H and viceversa, even if I stay in the same location...

Do you know how to set it in 3G only so that it won't switch to H+ ??
Thanks!

nevermind!!
this has been resolved. I had to manually change the APN settings.
thanks!
When I manually switch between 3g and 2g it drops the signal completely. When i go from lte to 3g it doesn't drop the connection or give me any errors.
This drop is enough that when I'm in a building i almost always have to have 2g forced. If i have 3g and someone calls i usually drop to 2g, but doing so causes the call to drop instead of handing it off.
I've tried to google it and I've seen this a few other times but I've never seen a clear reason why? Does anyone experience this or know a solution? It's done it on different phones over the last few years. All android too.
Someone must know something. I'm on t mobile in central Florida if that helps
I recently purchased an Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro phone (kenzo), it covers all the bands that rogers uses in my area in Canada, I believe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Wireless
I can connect with the phone on LTE, HSPA+ with no problem, if available. Sometimes, if I am in certain area's, the signal indicator drops to 3G .... it shows a decent signal, but no calls or data can go through.
In this example on the following chart, the first WCDMA connection,my phone only indicates 3G and I can not make a call or use data. When my call attempt is done, it goes back to LTE. Then I try again. Then for the second WCDMA connection on the chart, I am connected as H+, I can make a call and use data. Whenever this phone connects to CID 31072 the problem happens. When I connect to CID 31075, no problem. These are just examples of towers that I reach from my home. I get the same problem occuring other areas.
Any suggestions on what I need to change on my phone? Is my phone making a kind of 3G connection for some reason, which Rogers doesn't support? I have tried everything I can think of, Miui dev versions, CM13, LineageOS 14.1 etc, change Android Radio Menu settings, etc.
Nothing seems to fix this issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I have been using Network Signal Guru, and have figured out that the phone will connect calls data on 3g if the band it finds is B5-850M .... if the tower tries to connect to is B2-PCS-1900 the call fails.
I tried to block the use of band 2 with Network Signal Guru, but it seems to still use it when it finds it.
I have since flashed a LineageOS rom and used the Network Signal Guru to disable band 2 WCDMA. The phone has not been experiencing the issue at all since. I am cautiously optimistic that I have found a solution. Still not sure why this band doesn't work here though.
Is anyone else whos on sprint/TMobile having issues where the phone cant decide wether to connect to a sprint or TMobile tower? When im at my home i have a very weak TMobile 600mhz signal and a strong sprint band 41 signal due to the magic box. I also can pick up the band 25 signal the box uses and my phone refuses to just use the stronger faster sprint signal. It absolutely insists on using the TMobile signal. Is anyone having similar issues? Even on wifi its causing network interruptions so i have to reload a page several times to make it use the wifi.

Mine jumps a lot but never connects to the magic box. I don't think it's enabled for B41? I have a Pixel 3XL that I activate (and deactivate my V60) when I'm at my camper which is where my MB lives.

Mine works with Band 41. Its a big one in the nearby city. It works with all sprint and TMobile bands. Its just prioritizing TMobile bands over sprint ones regardless of signal quality

I have no idea of this is related but.. I'm on T-Mobile, with T-Mobile home internet as well, and for the last several days my phone is having issues connecting and the home WiFi is doing the same thing. I'm in a rural area so my signal is weak, but it's been fluctuating WILDLY since the merger and sometimes it does seem like my phone is struggling trying to decide what to connect to. There's definitely something going on with the network at least in my area for the last 2 weeks for sure

Sounds like this will be happening until the transition is done/5G is more widespread. These are TMobile models. When mine was first turned on at the store it had the T-Mobile splash screen. The ability to access sprint towers was added via software update post merger. I figure once the 600mhz band is fully rolled out the issue will go away as a result of the signal being strong enough.
