I have been having some connectivity issues and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. It will happen randomly during the day, where I will have full bars of 3g+ but yet when I try to use the browser or any other applications that uses the internet (instagram, FB, etc) nothing will load and eventually time out. Rebooting and turning off 3g/2g/mobile network and back on does nothing. Connectivity seems to come back whenever it feels like it. Ive talked to one of my other friend and she has also experience the same problems on her Note 2 and neither of us has reached the 5gb cap either. Are there any fixes for this?
Have you tried flashing a different ROM to see if that corrects the issue or going back to stock? maybe flashing a different modem my work

I'm running cm7 nightly v28. For some reason the 3g does no work. The only way I can access data is to pick up some 4g. Is this a common problem? Fix?
Reflash the rom. I haven't had the issue but that could work.

Reflash the rom, and if its not in your power widget, check mobile data under wifi settings.
Sometimes mine do go right away so I turn it off and on quickly and that seems to do the trick.

Thanks for the responses. I tried reflashing but that didn't work. The turned mobile data on and off but got nothing. I even tried going in airplane mode and then out and nada. I think I might try flashing a different rom to get it working. Could it also be my PRL?
Its shouldn't affect it, but being on the latest PRL never hurts.
Make sure that its on in wireless networks...
This is my EVO, there are many like it, but this one is mine....
Mobile network is stuck on turning on -__-
Well try to reboot it real quick. And sometimes it can take it a minute or two to actually turn on.
I've rebooted several times. I've done full wipes and even to different roms. It just won't budge. :-/
I was having issues with 3G connectivity earlier. Getting lots of code 67's and data call notices. 4G was working fine so I switched on and used that. 3G is fine and back to normal now.

Did anyone come up with a concrete answer on this issue? I too have this problem and tried all the suggestions except 4g... it's not available in my area. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
Try flashing a sense rom and updating your profile and prl

Wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this issue:
I'm on t-mobile and coming from a G2x.
For some reason when I'm in the office, despite having 4 bars on H, any app (browser, youtube, market etc...) that uses a data connection takes forever to load. Sometimes the connection even times out.
Then when I go outside things work well again, but I never had this issue on my G2x. Its really frustrating, especially when I have downtime at the office and want to start downloading apps etc.
What can it be? Anyone experiencing similar issues??
UPDATE:
Think I may have found the cause of this issue. I was stuck on edge in the office (which used to happen on my G2x as well) so I switched to WCDMA-only. Going back to auto/prl fixed the issue. But still I wonder why. I would like to keep it on WCDMA-only if possible. Any thoughts?
Towers might be overloaded. It is peaktime.

This started happening to me couple days ago. My phone is connected to wifi at home, and whenever I want to use my phone after its been in idle, everything looks normal. The wifi signal is there, but there is no data, I cannot check email, browse internet, anything with data. Only way to fix it is to reboot or turn wifi off and then back on. Everything is fine when I'm on 3g, there are none of these issues. I am on Calk 2.7 (not 2.8) with the latest kernal, EL28 (I think thats the latest).
If I have an app running in the back that is constantly using data (google music) (recall, ONLY on wifi, NOT 3G), the app stops working whenever the phone goes into idle, I guess. Basically leaving a data consuming app ruining in the background did not help the issue.
I have tried searching, and some other people have experienced the issue on different devices (NOT epic touch), but no threads offer any solution(s).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had this issue on my previous epic touch and I took it back and exchanged for another one and the one I have now doesn't do it. It had the same problem u describe. Might want to check your router first though since it just started. Mine always did it and it did it on other Wifi networks. Good luck.

I've seen this happen on four different E4GTs. It seems random and only occasional. I've seen it on EG30 and EK02 stock, I haven't tried other "modems" or roms yet. I'm not sure what causes it, but a quick wifi toggle seems to fix it. Seems like the wifi radio just sort of "freezes. " Wifi sleep policy set to never, doesn't seem to make a difference. Minor annoyance.

What baseband are your running? Have you tired another baseband?
I didn't think the modem has anything to do with wifi. I have this issue on certain wifi networks I use. I have made tweaks to see if it is security settings or what but haven't figured out a pattern yet. I use a wifi widget and it looks like DHCP hangs up cuz it won't give it an IP. I reboot the wifi router and it works right after evertime. I will sometimes powercycle wifi on the phone and it will work. I really think it is a wifi router setting for the network but not sure which yet.
Both my data and WiFi have been acting very strange the past week. Both services will show me as connected but I will only get the upload arrow showing on each indicator and then sometimes the icons just go gray. It has been happening very often and I have changed both my ROM and kernel on clean installs and I still have the same issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Bump. Still have the problem.
Flashing back to stock should work

I started a thread here on a topic where my wifi and signal bars turn gray and the phone doesn't have data connectivity any more. sometimes this happens a dozen or more times a day and sometimes once or twice.
one response in that thread indicated that 4.2.2 made a positive impact on the problem.
I've been searching for a definite fix for this data/WiFi issue to no avail. I'm not entirely sure of when this issue began to occur but my phone (Toroplus) constantly loses WiFi signal. By losing signal I mean WiFi will turn off and on all by itself. And yes, WiFi sleep policy is set to stay on always. This issue alone made me go back to stock only to find the WiFi issue is present there too. I've also ruled out my router as the culprit. Im suspecting this is a Google issue. By the way, I talked to a sprint store employee who owned a galaxy nexus and after a few minutes of playing with his phone, which was completely stock and never rooted, I noticed his WiFi connection would turn off and on all by itself too. Any insight from anyone with knowledge to this would be appreciated.
Wi-Fi optimization off. If that does not fix it, I dunno.

Thanks for the suggestion but that doesn't fix it. Are you not having this issue? What's your setup? What ROM do you use? I've basically used all of them and it never goes away. I'm thinking of going to the HTC One when it's released just in case it's a Samsung issue.
I have also experienced this problem, especially at work where the network uses some WPA Enterprise variant. I've digged through logcats and can't find the problem either. A few Google Code forum posts talk about a possible bug introduced by network adapter manufacturers, or wpa_supplicant configuration issues. Haven't found a workaround yet, so I had to go back to 4.1.2, which seems to be stable.

The more I read on this subject the more I come to realize this is not specific to a certain device. The only common denominator that jumps out at me is jellybean. Seems like the issue is with Google, not hardware. Sucks that such a basic feature is not reliable out of the box. At least now I can understand why my buddy calls Android "buggy". Hopefully this is fixed sometime in the near future.
I am facing a very peculiar issue that makes my mobile internet dysfunctional. Whenever I switch from 2G/3G to WiFi and then switch back to 2G/3G from WiFi, the internet refuses to work unless I restart my phone. Once, the phone is restarted, it works like a charm again till the time I switch to WiFi again. Sometimes though, 2G/3G would not work even if I do not switch to WiFi. Also, rarely, it still may work even as I switch back from WiFi to 2G/3G. This issue has plagued me since a long time and is sometimes accompanied by call drops.
I took my phone to a Samsung Service centre but it wasn't of any use. They do nothing except reflashing the stock rom. It did fix the problem for a while but in an hour or in a day(or in some random time duration) the problem resurfaced. I took my phone to the service centre, just to get this problem fixed. I have tried switching between different modes in settings: GSM/WCDMA/auto etc
I also tried contacting my mobile carrier and got my sim card changed. Therefore, the mobile carrier is not at fault (Internet works flawlessly after I restart, remember?). How do I fix this? It is really irritating to restart the phone every time I need to use the internet. Please help! :-/
Maybe try flashing a different modem. I had various data and call issues on my i9300. After flashing 10 or so different modems I found one from aveuropean carrier worked best. Im in the uk btw

Thanks for replying thedadio!
But I've never flashed a modem before and have no clue which one to choose. Is it same as flashing a custom rom? Also, can I brick my device while flashing modems?
Yes its similar to flashing custom ROM. What ROM are you on and what modem are you on?
McLaren__F1, I am on stock 4.1.2. Also, I just tried flashing DDALJ1 modem (As I'm from India) and Perseus kernel. None of these steps helped me in any way. Still the same issues. :-/
Which is your network provider? I had the similar problems when I was on docomo..nw ported to airtel nd problem solved.
Btw did you try some other np's sim?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I am currently using Airtel (Prepaid). I haven't tried using any other np's sim though..
I have the exact same problem. I am with optus Australia. I tried different modems, different ROMs but all have the same problem. I have sent mine away to be replaced and am still waiting for the new one. Very frustrating problem.

I'm not sure if they'll replace mine. It has been almost 6 months since I bought it..
How do I solve this? Any clue anyone? :|
My Note2 does this sometimes & only fix is a restart.
try soft format may its helpful
Not a fix, but toggling airplane mode on and off does the job for me.
Interestingly this happens to me only when leaving one particular WiFi access point.

i got exatly same proplem, 3g not working after leaving wifi of my workplace, but when im home i have no proplems if i decide leave my home network.
could it be related to radio type wifi has?? my workplace still using old hardware with radiotype of .g and leaving that network "kills" mobile network and i need to reboot phone, but my home network is .n and im not having proplems after leaving it. if its related to wifis radiotype it should be easy for someone to write script which reboot mobile network after leaving those wifi networks.

Doesn't work for me. This problem is strange. :-/
No one has a solution for this problem on XDA?
Did you use the NFC to scan anything by any chance? I don't know if it could be related but my phone started to have issues around the same time I bought some NFC tags and started programming and scanning them.
I still haven't got my replacement phone back yet. But I'll let you know if it still has issues in my problem spots. Than we'll know if the problem was with the phone or just this model.

Nope! I haven't used NFC at all.
Ohh, okay..Eagerly waiting for your response! *Fingers crossed*
Tested replacement phone today and the problem seems to be gone. The signal was actually stronger than all my previous phones.
This issue could be a hardware problem as from what I have searched on the net it seams to affect only a few people. I just hope if I root the phone the problems don't come back.
Maybe you could try send it away for repair if they won't replace it.

Looks like I spoke too soon. The issues are still there. While waiting for my replacement phone I was using an old HTC wildfire and had no issues with the data connection so it must be an issue with this model.
