It seems random when the data connection works and the internet works on my phone. I'll sit there with full 3G signal and i get "cannot find the DNS Server" error when trying to load webpages :S
is this a problem with my Samsung Omnia 7, Windows Phone 7 or my network (Orange UK)?
I have this problem on my HD7 as well. If I have a 3G connection, it doesn't work. It only works on H (HSDPA).
Funnily enough, I had the same issue with my HD2 running WM6.5, which makes me wonder if WP7 is using the same comms drivers.
I have this problem too! A LOT everyday in diferent locations.
Actually how can I enable the HSDPA on my HD7? Because I can only get 3G.
These are just network errors.
I use internet alot and it happens on every device I had.
My WP7 is actually pretty stable in this regard.
Same! Never works on 3g only ever H you sure its just network errors cause it happens alot
YES this is a major problem for me with my Omnia 7, I even got a replacement phone from my carrier (Optus Australia) because of it... and it's exactly the same. It's extremely frustrating and makes the phone damn near unusable. Happens on every device? what a load of rubbish, if I put the SIM in my old iPhone 3GS it works FLAWLESSLY. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Can you explain then, how come a reboot always fixes the problem?

Yep, I have the same problem with my Omnia 7.
On all 3 of the networks i've used it on, T-Mobile, Virgin and GiffGaff.
Only solution is to reboot the phone.
I thing i've noticed, is it seems to happen when I move from an area where I have WiFi access (Home/Work/Cafe) to an area where i'm using a Phone network ?
I think we can only hope that the upcoming WP7 update fixes this. Also it seems enabling airplane mode then disabling it also fixes it in a similar way to rebooting the phone.

I'll make a note of that, cheers!
Im having the same issue with my HD7. Only EVER works on H. Not on G or 3G. It's driving me insane. The exact same sim on the same provider never had an issue on my Touch Pro 2, but this phone is shocking for internet
I get this occasionally on my HD7. Not really an issue right now. It does get annoying sometimes when the wifi in my house isnt strong enough to connect

You do realize that phones switch to H only while they are actively swapping data, then fall back to 3G while dormant, to save battery?
Try it - leave your phone alone for a bit and it will switch from H to 3G. Now access something on the net and it will switch to H (if possible) to get the data, then after a few seconds of inaction it will switch back to 3G.
So yes, it is correct that it only ever works on H!
Mind you, it would be nice if it worked on G too, I'm sure it should but mine never does.
hm i thought the " H " means that i dont get 3G signal.
but i think i had the same problem!
solution:
you only need to turn OFF WIFI
somehow its not using 3G when wifi networks are close,
even if you not connected to one.
turn OFF wifi or maybe only "discover new networks"
turning OFF wifi always brings me 3G back ...
Just to add my experience here...
I have a Samsung Omnia 7 and had never experienced any issues with 3G/H data/internet issues on the 3 network in the UK.
However, I've come over to Australia to visit the folks and have put in a Virgin SIM, now I really struggle with this. The connection just isn't working even with full 3G signal.
As pointed out, toggling my Airplane Mode works most of the time - I guess this is because the phone re-registers itself with the network when you enable>disable airplane mode (just like it would if you rebooted it). Curiously toggling the data connection option seems to have no effect.
Pain in the a*se.
I had connectivity issues with my Samsung Omnia 7. I worked out that my phone was not playing nice with my router and so my wifi connected but didn't actually work.
Also, I found that 3G performance was sub-par and many apps timed out because they were taking so long to get connection.
I solved these problems by flashing a new firmware. It was a little tricky and it is potentially risky, but a quick google will lead you to the relevant information.
I used a European firmware (I am in Australia on Optus), but it works fine. I just had to change all the language settings.
Now my phone's 3G and WiFi connections both work a lot faster (no more waiting for an eternity for the marketplace to open for example).
I have the same problem and read on create.msdn.com it has something to do with how wp7 handles the connections.
If the provider cuts off the connection frequently it loses its 3g signal or something like that. Thats why my push notifications are just unreliable. If I take my sim out and use wifi only. It just works and keeps working as soon as I connect to wifi. When 3g comes into play and the carrier cuts me off because im not actively using, the phone struggles to recconect for push etc.
I want my phone to turn off 3g connectivity automatically and go to 2g only when I connect to a wifi network and then back to 3g connectivity when i disconnect from wifi. Does anyone have a profile for this already set up and if so would you mind sharing. Im terrible at setting up tasker. Thank you in advance.
Isn't 3g automatically turned off when connected to wifi?
Swyped on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
the reason i ask is because i get terrible reception in my apt. when on 3g signal...if i turn off the 3g connectivity and go 2g only, then my signal increases to full strength. this remains true with wifi enabled or disabled. I'm not doing it for the data connection as I am connected to wifi...i want it for the basic cell signal so i can make and recieve phone calls and sms's. does this make any sense at all...i fell like im rambling.
Anyway, do this:
New profile - state - wifi connected - don't put anything in the next screen.
New task - net - mobile data 2g/3g - 2g only
You have to make a task to turn it on again as well. Gl hf

Thanks for the help...it was much appreciated...it works great and i figured out how to get it to work in reverse as well.
I don't mean to hi-jack this thread, but I am hoping that some smart folks could give me some ideas or help with creating a Tasker profile.
where I work there are areas where the signal is great and other areas where it's non-existent or very weak. I am hoping to devise a profile that will cause the phone to turn of the radio if the signal is very low or none than turn the radio on again in 10 or 15 minutes to see if the signal is better. If it is still weak than.... you get the point, right? I'm not sure where start. There's a variable that contains the signal so I know that I will check it than run a task if it's low, but I'm not sure how to proceed from there and implement a timer.
any help please?

the signal strength can be used as a context in state>phone>signal strength
I was originally a Verizon user so I'm not used to this kind of weak connection.
I had my phone replaced already due to another issue a few weeks ago
so I don't want to get another replacement because of this. it is really annoying!
Instead I will ask here and see if anyone could help !
**This has nothing to do with WiFi (because WiFi works great!)**
**And nothing to do with calls because call quality and connection showed no problems**
**Not exactly sure this problem started, just started getting annoyed with it recently**
\- What my phone is doing (when I'm at home) -/
1. Slow transition from WiFi connection
- When I turn Wifi off, I don't get an immediate data reception. Instead it takes about 10 seconds and then I barely start to get 3g..... not lte .... (It's not like this in every place)
2. Not much LTE
- It happens really rarely, most of the time at home the connection is on 3g
3. Lose data connection even while in use
- It's just sometimes unstable. When I'm browsing the web (while in 3g) it would sometimes go down to no bars at all and lose internet connectivity, then the 3g and I have to wait again until it comes back.
- Data roaming automatically turns on saying that I lost connection -_-
4. 3g is sometimes really unresponsive
- Just like when it is when turning off Wifi
- 3g would stay idle for sometime, even when I open apps that require internet
- Sometimes the 3g just disappears and decides not to comeback for a while
5. Bars up and down (drains battery?)
- I see this too often, like in every hour. While in 3g, the bars get suddenly full, then in an instant it drops to 1, then to 2. Then sometimes to no bars at all.
* in LTE it never gets like this, just constantly 1 bar
6. Maybe it's where I live?
- Possibly, but it's quite an urban and Sprint should have no problem covering this area in my opinion
- Verizon wasn't like this (although not perfect)
7. This is annoying
-Because it is draining the battery -_-
-Because my sister's iPhone 6 performs better (always has 2~3 bars) & my brother's S6 (though relatively weaker than her's) does not seem to lose connection compared mine at home (We're all Sprint users)
\- What I've done to confront this problem -/
1) Called Sprint, but didn't help at all. They told me to just take it to the store and have them take a look -__- Agent hardly knew anything...
2) Flashed Stock ROM and hard reset the phone (so annoying since you have to set things up again)
3) Made sure I set mobile data Network Mode to 'AUTOMATIC'
4) Made sure I have the latest Software version and have the PRL and Profile updated
But still no result at this point.
***Could this be a hardware issue? Or a software issue that is fixable?***
Can anyone give me some advice on how to fix this?
I mean it's just that the data reception is too weak an unreliable to think this is okay.
Right now my phone is pretty empty, barely any apps because of the reset.
I really don't want to believe it's due to a faulty hardware!
P.S. Possibly symptom?
The first day I got this phone as a replacement out of the store, I was unable to connect to the internet using data, even though calling was working.
What it was doing was, constantly switching from 3g - lte - inactive 3g - nothing - 3g - so on in a 20 second cycle.
By the end of that day towards midnight it was connecting to the internet.
Welcome to Sprint -_____- my GF has 4G LTE on Verizon where I live and I don't even have 3G, I roam on Verizon actually lol. Sprint literally has ZERO coverage while Verizon has LTE.. It's just Sprint dude lol.
Hello there,
I am encountering a problem with my beloved N5X...
Since a few weeks it randomly loses connectivity (both cellular and Wi-Fi)
And after a few seconds (sometimes minutes) it catches the network back.
For example:
I wake up the phone for checking messages, and i see WhatsApp saying "searching for messages", no warning icons for network.
Then i try to load a Chrome page, it does not load..
After a few seconds all is getting back to normal and everything loads. (the web page, new messages notifications comes on, etc)
I tried so far:
- Reboot (after a reboot it works normally for a few hours, then problem begins again)
- Resetting network parameters (does nothing)
- Complete factory reset (had 2 weeks problem free then the problem begins again)
- Flashing custom ROM (from Google factory to last Lineage OS 15.1)
For informations:
- No VPN
- No gaming, the phone never heats up
- Good network coverage (both cellular and Wi-Fi)
- No network related apps
- The phone is 3 years old, never felt on the ground
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot for reply, and have a nice day!
I'm having a similar problem since Oreo update, but only on WiFi. On 4G network is working flawlessly but I think is due to carrier network settings on cellular towers.
Every search I made on the web to address the issue finished with a lot of posts read but no decent solution whatsoever, but the other day a reply on reddit made me think and I found a setting on my router WiFi AP section called "Unscheduled APSD (Automatic Power Save Delivery)" and since I disabled it my phone seems working better. I don't know if it's just random luck or it was really the cause of the issue but you can try.
Hope it helps.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
I searched everything on the phone that could be wrong and i also ended up that router might be the cause.
I did not found the setting you mention (i'm on Synology router) but i tried to disable the 5 GHz frequency band and use only the 2.4 GHz one.
Since then the phone works perfectly! Although the Wi-Fi speed is a bit slower..
I hope this can help you too!

I was on 2.4Ghz only since a few months but had the issue anyway before disabling uAPSD.
If your bandwidth is reduced is probably because your network is on a "busy" channel, try scanning all the wireless networks around your home (i use wifi analyzer on my phone) and see which are the "busy" channels and set yours on a free one. Bandwidth on 2.4 and 5 ghz should be the same, the pro of the first is a better (wider) coverage of the signal, mostly through walls and the pro of the second is less interference with other wireless technologies and environment at expenses of the coverage.

Well, after a few days i noticed the problem still persist even on 2.4GHz, but less than before..
Unfortunately Synology router does not have APSD option in the Wi-Fi settings.
I tried to put Protected Management Frames (PMF) on "enable - optional", that setting was disabled before.
Wait and see.
Thanks again!
Hello Folks,
In summary, the WiFi stack on OnePlus 11 is quite unstable compared to other smartphones (that are also based on Qualcomm SoC with built-in modems).
First off, I've two 802.11 AC (WiFi 5) routers. Compared to my Asus (ROG 5) and Motorola (Moto G 5G Plus) phones, I've noticed that my new OnePlus has better reception for both mobile and WiFi networks. E.g., at the same location where ASUS has say -30db signal, OnePlus 11 shows -27 or -28db. So performance wise, it's fantastic, however, stability of WiFi connectivity is subpar. Between performance and stability, obviously I always prefer stability. I've up-to-date OnePlus 11 CPH2449 device (CPH2449_11_A.08).
I've been using the phone for about 5 days & these are the three distinctive WiFi problems with OnePlus 11 that I've observed in that duration:
1. WiFi dieing silently:
I've seen many times that all of a sudden the WiFi symbol will disappear. Then checking the status of the connectivity will show that it had silently dropped/died. Sometimes, it'll reconnect on its own within 10 odd seconds. When it doesn't, then toggling WiFi off and then on may help. When even that doesn't help, then toggling airplane mode on and then off becomes necessary/only-way to re-establish the connection. During these episodes, the phone is barely 2 metres away from the routers with a clear/unobstructed line of sight with them. Needless to say, neither ASUS nor Moto exhibit this problem while these episodes are playing out with OnePlus 11.
2. VoWiFi dieing silently:
While operating the phone (non-phone-call situations), a number of times I've seen that the VoWiFi logo would drop and VoLTE logo would appear. Interestingly enough, within a matter of 10+ odd seconds, it'd re-establish the VoWiFi connectivity on its own.
3. WiFi not roaming efficiently:
When moving faraway from one router and close to another, it doesn't roam to the closest one, instead holding onto the furthest one. But putting the phone down for say a minute with the screen off, triggers the roaming to the closest router! WiFi assistant neither helps nor hinders this behaviour.
In short, it'd seem the whole WiFi stack is riddled with stability issues. I've done "Reset Network settings", which didn't help with those issues.
Am I the only one facing these issues?
Thanks for any help/guidance.
Wifi Issue
Anyone have wifi dropping off and reconnecting after flashing to oxygen os? I seem to keep experiencing this. Anyone have any fix?
forum.xda-developers.com
No issues with Wifi.
Just downloaded over 130GB over Wifi and ftp server on the phone without a single interruption. Took over 3 hours and no problem.
I have similar issues. My wifi will randomly drop out and then pick up again in that time sometimes it will say internet offline. I've been noticing it the last week or so when that happens.
I've escalated my problems to OnePlus support. After a number of discussions, I think we got the winner: Disabling ipv6 in my WiFi network seems to stabilise it!
I've been trying this only for the past few hours, but it's proving positive so far. Still I'd prefer to test this over at least a day or two.
I've had WiFi just stop working finds no networks. Even turning the toggle off and back on again doesn't work. But after a reboot works fine again. Mines a euro model on fw09

I've seen similar behaviour. Turning flight mode on and then off helped me on those circumstances. Mine too EU version CPH2449.
Now, if the root cause is identified and addressed, then it ought not to even regularly disconnect from WiFi in the first place, so subsequent problems like reconnection issues can be avoided then.
Disabling ipv6 has proven to be a good workaround for vastly improving my phone's WiFi stability. Of course, they need to identify and resolve the problem that's making WiFi & ipv6 incompatible though.
