Hi,
Does anyone have this problem on their phone? Every now and then, when I am doing a data related function, data hangs as though it is not connected even though I am in a perfect 4g coverage area and the 4g sysmbol is still on. I know its hanging because the arrow to the right of the 4g symbol stays lit green. It either starts working 5 minutes later on its own or I turn wifi on and off. I have the newest sim card installed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
probably a software related issue
the only time i experience that is when i lose connectivity with the network, as in the signal bars or 3G/4G arrows are all greyed
Yea dude i noticed even tho i have wifi set to never it always shuts off or i should say loses connection i hate it because i have to pull down status bar hit it off then on wifi is definitely effed on stock too. Anyone else experiencing this? I know its a problem cuz my g2x i could leave it alobe for an hour in hibernate come back and wifi still good to go anyone have any ideas? Or is it a s2 problem witg wifi cutting off. Like i said the icon will still be there but i wont have connection and 50% of the time i have wifi icon and 4g
Same issue here, in two different phones I've had. Not sure what the issue is. In fact, opening this page, my data was hanging for a minute, irony.

for this issue you can configure how WiFi behaves, but the settings are only accessible via spareparts or custom ROMs
I set my wifi to never sleep while on charger

But this happens to me when my wifi is off. Only on the cellar data connection.
I had this issue after giving juice defender superuser permissions. It seemed that it would not turn data back on when I had the screen on. I'm not sure if this applies to you, but I no longer gave juice defender su and everything was fine. a lot of those functions in that app do not seem to play nicely with this phone yet anyway.

Yep, for several weeks now. I thought it was my ROM.

It happens to me several times a day. Usually right after a voice call. I just put on flight mode for a second, switch it off and data is back. I have no idea what's causing this. Always on 4g, wifi is working perfectly.

+1 to everything already mentioned.
I was in Vegas this weekend and had HORRIBLY slow/no data at all. Like has been mentioned, the green arrow with just stay lit. thought i was the rom, i nandroided back to stock, same issue. Hope this is fixed soon it is hella annoying.
This fixed it for me
I have had this same issue for a while, here's how to fix it. Go to Titanium backup, I found out that there're two versions of "My account" on the list, so I frozed the old one, then go to task manager "kill all", the 4G icon will disappear. Open up "My account" again, the 4G reappears but as soon as I close the app, the 4G icon would disappear.
Hope it helps someone
I too have similar problems where my data hangs or doesnt want to connect. Then a few minutes later, it will decide to start working. This happens even in full signal regions. Stock rom and/or BeastMod rom...
Not sure why it happens :S
For those having problems and have tmobile my account on phone freeze it or uninstall it i guarantee it fixes your data problems trust me. I to had problems just like you guys and i was told to uninstall my account i was like what? What the hell is that going to do but believe me when i say it worked! I actually unfroze it to see if the problem would come back (4g and wifi on at same time) or cutting out. And it did. So i refroze my account and bam 4g disapeared while wifi on. This has fixed all my wifi and data problem phone works flawless now! Basically i think t-mobile trying to snoop with our data. Scumbags
This is happening to me. The phone is driving me mad. It happens constantly. The "up arrow" in the 4g icon will light up, and all data will freeze. I stare at loading screens all day long. It freezes anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Then it will fix itself, then it will happen again within 2-5 minutes. I'm furious with this phone.
Wifi works great. It's not dependent on my location, it happens no matter where I am. Doesn't matter what I do, nothing prevents it from happening. Of course, the Airplane mode toggle or resetting APNs and all that will do the trick to fix it temporarily, but it will only happen again 5 minutes later.
I'm on stock, unrooted. I am ready to throw this phone at the wall. Has anybody else managed to actually fix it or get a response from Samsung/T-Mobile?
I should have read this thread before buying this phone. This is so annoying. I tried to put the phone in flight mode. It fixed for a min and back to problem.
I'm having the same problem. I didn't have this problem until I updated to 2.3.6. Anyone else still on an earlier version?

Same things been happening to me lately, its awfully annoying. Makes me want to throw my phone across the room sometimes.
This is my first Gingerbread rom. I had been running Virtuous for months but it became unstable. Probably due to a bad app I loaded here or there.
With this ROM, my wifi signal drops off, then switches to 3g, then back again in a matter of seconds. This can be even when I'm a few feet away from my router. I've tried different radio's, but it hasn't helped.
Another issue I've noticed, and this appears to be mainly cosmetic, is related to the pattern unlock screen. I get a bunch of random characters at the top just under the time. Like '%1$2, %2$2 %3$2, $4$2 - %6$1.'
Anyone else have these problems? Is this the right place to mention it?
I've been noticing that my wifi does that also. Not sure why tho but it doesn't seem to affect anything at all so I never investigated it anymore.
My unlock pattern screen has those same crazy numbers and symbols also. Can't figure out what they're about:-\

Anyone else having this problem? My E4GT's network randomly freezes. If I'm on a call and it happens it drops the call but I can't close out and end the call. If I don't notice it has frozen, I just won't get any calls or texts until I reboot. Data over wifi works fine. If it happens and I put it into airplane mode then off again I get the circle slash no network symbol. Nothing works besides a reboot. I'm running a stock kernel and stock rom on a rooted phone. Anyone figure this out yet? I came from an evo to a photon to this and the data speeds were horrendous on this phone compared to the other 2. With this issue the phone is almost unusable. I did an SCRTN reset on the phone and that took care of the data speeds. If I can get this resolved the phone will be great. Thanks.

No prob read up there is a lot to learn my friend... A lot of things to try and help you out as well
My phone cracked a few weeks ago. Rather than pay the insurance claim, I bought an OEM screen for my phone and attempted to fix it myself. After taking out the old screen [with much difficulty] and putting in the new one, and repeating this quite a few times, the lovely white EVO screen finally
The only problem is the phone is on the lowest brightness setting, and I can not change it for the life of me. I got the app 'Screen Filter' which works very well to FURTHER darken the screen but not brighten.
The mobile network is also a mess..first I had nothing, then I got 1X, now I have 3G but it is very slow and unreliable. And the entire signal goes out depending on where I move the phone.
Finally, my front facing camera seems to have a shadow on the side. The back camera works fine, even though the flash is a little quick.
I would rather NOT go back into my phone, for fear of the screen not coming on again..but if I have to I will. Can anyone tell me what I need to do, or at least what part of the phone controls the brightness and 3G and where I can find it?
Thanks in Advance.
EDIT: Brightness works for now. Camera still has shadow on the side, and the mobile network shuffles between none, 1X, and 3G. None work properly as before. Using Synergy ROM btw.

Have you tried reverting to a stock rom then going back to synergey maybe the fact that you edited the hardware itself is causing synergey rom to flip out...

Good idea. I'll try re-flashing tonight
So, reflashing did not work at all..and now I have to put everything back together. Anyone else have any ideas?
Hey guys!
I'm having a tricky problem right now... i hope it's no hardware fault
I am losing my connection to my network provider as soon as the screen goes off.
I noticed it when starting a call a couple of hours ago. I had full bars and as soon as i put the phone against my ear i lost my connection --> all bars down and grey.
The weird thing is, i can call somebody no problem as long as i dont let the proximity sensor let the screen turn off. This is the same case with mobile internet. As long as the screen is on ---> no problems. Screen Off --> Signal lost
I am on an ICS Rom (AOKP build 38) and had no problems with this rom for about a week. Just changed the Rom and noticed the problem and reverted back to my backup which was supposed to still be running fine.
I even reflashed the newest radio... still losing signal
Please tell me, i'm overlooking something and this is no hardware fault from me flashing...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Wow... problem solved. Flashed back to the rom that brought the problem (Elitemod). And now everything works again. Weird...
Hi. I have same problem. I flashed CM7 7.2 and it looses signal and mobile internet always when turn screen off. And it comes back right when screen turns on. WTF.. @_o. So that means at nobody can´t call me. ****.

Hi,
Just check in power saver settings if you've opted for disconnecting data when screen goes off.
