Hello!
I have the international version of Note 2, and I have been getting some problems with connections. The phone shows couple of signal bars, 3g upload icon, but yet I can't call or use internet. I had this problem a while back when I was on stock rom, and started changing roms because I thought it was the updated OS which was giving the problems. Rooting & flashing fixed nothing, neither did google/ xda search reveal anything related to this problem. Has anyone tips or tricks for this?

Hey everyone just been noticing something very weird and annoying with my touch pro 2 on tmobile. my internet after about 1 hour from boot cuts off from connecting to the internet. i then have to reboot my phone to get the internet working again.
anyone have a solution for this because its really annoying
thanks
I dont have the problem, but if might be helpful to tell us what ROM you use and your signal reception in your area
ive been using a variety of roms thinking its a ROM, but i guess its not it right now im using the energy phoenix 2 rom with the .88 radio. i have full coverage and its on Hspda
any update as to how i can fix this?
After searching for a solution for a while, I was not able to find one. Apparently I am not the only one with this problem.
I used to have signal in the entire street with this phone, and as long as I was inside the building, the signal was "excellent".
After an update came out, the Wi-Fi signal has dropped significantly.
Now I should be happy if it connects when only a few meters away from the Wireless-N router!
All other devices in this network, including an HTC Sensation, have no problems with the signal at all.
I have contacted HTC and they were "looking into this matter". But it has been a while since this problem appeared, and I am afraid there is not going to be any fix by them.
So I decided to root my phone yesterday, using this guide and I am currently using Android Revolution HD together with the RADIO provided in that thread.
Now it seems to have a slightly better signal, however there are no white bars shown on the Wi-Fi icon, while it states that the signal is "excellent" at the Wi-Fi search screen. The connection also still drops frequently.
I am definitely satisfied with the results, but I do need this Wi-Fi problem fixed.
Is anyone here familiar with this problem, and is there anything to be done about this?
This was a problem with Lees kernel. Good signal, just not being displayed correctly.
Turn WiFi off/on, and it should work.

That is the very first thing I tried and it did not help.
Did you wiped all data before flashing with the tool provided in ARHD-thread?
Yes, I did.

First Backup your current ROM. Try to find RIL matching your RADIO. it might help you
Have a look at this thread.

I am already using the RADIO provided in the Revolution thread.
So I've had my VZW Galaxy Nexus since launch, and have absolutely loved it. It is by far the best phone I've ever had, and I've had zero problems with it... except for recently.
For the past few months I've had a problem where my signal bars get greyed out and I can't access anything, even when it shows I have full signal. This will happen on 3g, 4g, and wifi, and sometimes toggling airplane mode on and off will fix it, but most of the time I have to just wait for the connection to come back on it's own.
I've read about signal issues plaguing the Nexus, but I always thought it was just where it showed no signal at all. Am I experiencing the issue, or is it something else entirely? And is there anything I can do to try and fix it other than getting a refurbished phone? I have tried every radio combination out there, and have settled on the latest radios (l515.09 V.FF02 / l515.FG02) and the issue has persisted throughout.
TLR - Phone will often grey out bars and I can't connect to anything. Happens in 3g, 4g, and wifi. Is this the signal issue people have been talking about or something different?

Try getting a new Sim card. I've read on other Gnexus forums. That's good fix for the gray bar issues. other solution take out the Sim card and let it sit for a minute or 2 then pop it back in. Lastly a factory reset.

a signal drop is when your device's antenna looses conection to the nearest cell (tower, mobile transmission equipment) totally.
a data drop is what you're experiencing.
this is on stock rom, correct?

It has happened on stock rom. Right now I'm on AOKP JB Build 4 with the 20120726 gapps from goo.im/gapps.
Ever since updating to ICS I have been having an issue where my data connection completely freezes or drops. The signal strength icon always shows a strong signal, but the yellow-orange send and receive bars next to the 4G LTE icon stop. During this time I can not receive texts either. I usually just put the phone in to airplane mode and then off airplane mode to restore the connection. I know others have been having this problem as I saw several comments on AT&T support, but no solutions to fix this were listed. If there is another thread please redirect me to that. My phone is completely stock, never rooted or had any customizations done. I have replaced 2 SIM cards and done multiple factory resets. Any info you guys can provide would be great, Thanks!
I have purchase F240l from online store but i have serious signal reception issues with this mobile.
1- In outdoor Network reception is around 5-10 dbm less than other mobiles. But the real problem comes when i am in low signal areas. This phone will disconnect all of sudden after -95dbm. while other mobiles are still locked to network.
2- The wifi reception is poor as compared to other phones.
3- The GPS never locks. in GPS test it shows 28 satellites in view as soon as GPS test is started but actually all signals remain at zero and in view satellites also remain to zero.
I want to know if this problem is related to hardware or software.
Also if you guys can suggest some solution to this problem from your experience it will be very helpful.
Note: I have reflashed stock jellybean and kitkat roms by lg flash tool but there is no change in situation.
Replace the build.prop

You should try this Method.
This might solve your problem. You should backup your original build.prop in case things goes wrong, also make a Nandroid backup.
Btw it didn't work for me actually 'cause I had other radio issues with my phone.
All the credit goes to Akhtar Ali Jatt... Thanks him if it works.
I was already on custom build.prop to get rid of the Korean rom problems.
Yesterday i also installed Sphinx 3.0 which is supposed to have better signal strength.
But all of this did not work.
I want to know if other f240l users have same problem because it is not optimized for international use.
Or this problem is specific for my phone.
For hardware issue, i improved the antenna connections with pcb but still no change.

Many users have the same problem so there's nothing you can do to get better wifi signal.
Ps: my F240L is also has very weak wifi signal.
Any news about this issue? I have F240L with weak WIFI and GSM signal.
