Random data connection error - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is my first post and my first Android phone, so please be gentle. I am coming over from iPhone. So I am using the N-7100 on Straight Talk. I am "loosing" my data connection randomly and only when opening apps. Like if I open the play store or chrome it will say "no connection" and have a button to try again. I'll click the button and It'll work. Is this normal and I'm just anal?

Very strange.

I've seen this with Google Music. I've force stopped and cleared data but the problem randomly comes back and I dont know whats triggering it

For me, the best working solution is to press multitasking button and swipe away all the apps.

Thats what i did too
At first i tried to open my music, it opened my google voice instead :/ but thats the temporarily solution i suppose :/
This has not gone away. Even if I try to access messaging from the app drawer or recent app list it doesn't work. Hitting back cycles through other apps, does not help. The only way to access messaging is through the people app or through a notification.

Try rebooting it?
Like someone said, swipe away all the recent apps.

Stock browser

On stock browser when I hit back arrow it stays on same page most of time sometimes I have to hit it 4-5 times real fast so it will go back has anyone else had this.

Maybe it because the page you were visiting was redirected to the mobile version by the host, so when you hit the back button it would take you back redirected to the mobile version.

I came across this and I think it has to do with ads being shown inside of iframes. I do have blocked ads so it can possibly be related to them being blocked.
That's what I was thinking it could be the ads thanks.

On ICS I don't remember it being like this.

I've had this problem when you back into a redirect, could be that!

If you get this and it is caused by a web page redirect then you can long press on the back button to show the browser history, allowing you to move back to any point.

Data has sporadic freezes

It happens a lot on the xda app, and noticing it alot on instagram. I see no data activity for 10 seconds then it will animate and data will load whatever im browsing. Dont use facebook or twitter. Infact I never used instagram till yesterday and its doing same thing as xda, which is what I browse with the most. I thought it was just the xda site but I guess not. My wife hasnt noticed it in hers but i will be trying her phone out now that I know its the phone.
Surprised I havent found other complaing. Maybe I need to swap this thing out

No issues like that on mine. Data seems to always be smooth.

Sounds like a hardware issue. My iPhone 4S had this issue and my replacement was perfect.
Iam gettting that on xda too. I am using dagr8 rom.

I noticed it yesterday too on the XDA app. Everything else is smooth except for the app. I had to use the browser instead

Is there any apps that can run a ping test or something so I dont keep eating up massive amounts of data testing this thing when im having outages
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Try fing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
*#*#4636#*#* will get you a ping test - choose "Info," then "Device information," which is actually telephone information. You can also get an app "Hidden Menus" from the Market which will save you the effort of keying all that in
*#0*# works to get into the Service Menu to test the rest of the phone out.
I am wondering if it's a modem issue. Any ideas if we have any other modems and can we flash modems from the first Note? I saw dagr8's thread on modems but no Att modems available to download. They are all bad links. I think they were having issues with them. I also saw someone posted a newer modem but it needs to be packaged in a zip.

I need multi view so I can watch and run ping the same time as browsing. I have to switch over to pinging app when I see no activity and buy the time I switch over its pinging away. It stops pinging when I am switched over on another app

Play store bug?

Does anyone else have an issue when tapping on apps? When I tap on apps in the play store they often highlight and doesn't actually take me to info about the app. Like this

Google play problem

I just encountered this problem for the first time today I've never had this happen before. When I open Google play I can't go in to "my apps" by pressing the menu button all I get to pop up is settings and help is there anyway to fix this to get my apps to pop back up. See attached

Try swiping from the left edge of the screen. The menu was moved there in the latest update.
