I'm Having a problem with my signal strength every where I go and WIFI as well. signal only peaks when I'm near towers and starts dropping as I get further away and I can't maintain data connection for nothing in the world.WIFI I run WIFI at home because im always on my phone. The moment I leave my house and come back it doesn't pick up the signal anymore I have to reset my phone so it can work. Is anybody having these problems and what is it caused by. Thanks in advance.

So, I keep my wifi on mostly at all times. But I've found that when I leave my home, and get outside my wifi range, instead of naturally switching back to 3G (I usually have 4G disabled for battery purposes, unless I need speed), my 3G and bars icon will be all greyed out, and I will have no incoming data. I otherwise have a great signal here in Boston. Sometimes it will eventually start working, but other times I will need to reboot in order to have a working data connection.
Is this an issue anyone else has? It seems the transition from wifi to mobile data is glitchy?
For some reason I cant post in the Dev forum in the Milestone thread...
The ROM is impressive. But I seem to be having 3G data issues.
It seems that I lose 3G service and it will not come back until I stop/start the data toggle. The status bar still shows the 3G icon, but the bars are just light grey and I do not receive email and cant browse. I can still send texts and get/make calls. I havent been able to figure out a pattern yet, but the latest occurrence happened after I came out of an area with no signal (NYC Subway). Usually service comes back automatically as Im walking up the stairs to the outside world but sometimes it never comes back until I toggle. It also happens sometimes even if I dont go into an area with no signal (at the office). After I turn off the data toggle, and turn it back on, the 3G icon comes back on the status bar and the bars turn blue again and shows up/down arrow activity.
Anyone else seeing something similar?
I'm having trouble with 3g and I have no 4g on milestone 6 as well. I went back to an older build until it the next one drops and see if it's fixed.

4G connects for me with no problem when I want to use it.
But I lost 3G data again this morning after coming out of the subway. Noticed I had emails in my inbox at work and checked my phone and 3G was stuck again.
I'm having connectivity problems on my copy of Milestone6 as well. Same 3G problems as OP, and can't connect 4G like 2ndP. As well, I'm unable to browse wifi signals, nor able to connect. :-/
Ok guys, having a real problem here. Often when I am connected to either 3g or wifi my phone will stop picking up signal suddenly. AIt's almost every time and I will have to disconnect from the network manually and reconnect and it will instantly pick up signal again for a while then it'll repeat. When it suddenly stops it doesn't show on the status bar that I have lost any signal. With 3g its kinda just at a stand still not receiving or uploading and with wifi it just stays the same but I'm still not picking up a signal because by web pages won't load neither will other apps that require network load until I manully disconnect and reconnect. Is anyone else having a problem like this? I don't think it was like this when I firs got my phone a month ago. I'm at a loss. Any help is much appreciated. Oh I'm completely stock btw haven't rooted........(yet) lol

It has happened to me a couple times that I have noticed. I will be streaming music and walking and all of a sudden, nothing.
Even a soft reboot does not help. It will require a full reboot generally to solve the issue. I have not been able to identify the issue specifically. I suspect it might be related to LTE testing in my area.
What's the LTE status in your area?
No lte yet but as I stated earlier it happens on wifi too. It'll still show that the signal is connected but my pages want load at all after it happens and when I try to refresh it'll say that the webpage could not load because there is no network. Only until I manually shut off 3g or wifi in the settings and turn it back on will it pick up signal again but only for about 5 minutes. This has happened in various locations on 3g and wifi and will even happen at home wifi.

This has happened to me as well... A lot . Stock.. on various roms.. No lte as well.. But it's in the works
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
-Galaxy Note II Edition
I've had this problem too. Sprint replaced my phone and it never happened again.
I think reactivating hands free actually fixed my problem...for now anyway. It's not losing network like it was before. All I did was enter on the phone dial pad ##72786# that'll reactivate. Hope this helps
Hello all,
I just began experiencing something weird on my phone today. It has been working fine for a month, no real issues. I was using it this morning and data worked fine. I picked it up this afternoon and tried to do a search in chrome, no connection. I have 1-2 signal bars (which is normal in my area) and I am connected to LTE/4g, but there is no connection to the net, almost like a firewall or something is blocking the connection. If I switch to wifi I am able to connect to the internet fine. Could this be some kind of weird outage on the tower in my area, or did something else break in the rom?
T-Mobile is doing a lot of Tower work. We had poor connectivity from the time I got the phone until last Thursday and then all of a sudden it started working a lot better. Even in the innermost room of the house which normally has poor connections.
So I live in NYC, and often go underground because of subway or go into buildings with thick walls and no reception, and lose 4G/LTE signal on the phone/building.
When i am out in the open again, the phone will reconnect and shows full bar with 4G/LTE, i can make normal calls/text, however, there is 0 internet data connection.... and takes like 15-20minutes for the phone itself to be able to use data again. this can be fixed with turning on airplane mode for like 3 seconds, and then disable it, but since this happens so often because where I live, this is driving me crazy. Does anybody know what kind of problem this is??
I've searched the forum, and heard that is caused by "ISIS" Sim card from Tmo? any help is appreciated.
sorry for the bump/necro... i am still having the problem :< anybody know this issue?
