Hello XDA,
I got myself a tmob s6 edge + just because i wanted custom rom capabilities, now, the problem is...mobile data is very unstable on my network which it's verizon sisters don't seem to face. the WIFI and BT are fine, its steady with no drops, the mobile data and occasionally voice too, drop and if i try too hard to refresh the page the data icon disappears completely, i have faced this issue since i got it so i have no frame of reference for a working scenario. is there a permanent fix for this issue??? i love the phone and the next best thing is a verizon one in which anyone who comes here should not own.

It started yesterday and I don't know why. Go to check my weather, hit update and after about 10 seconds I get a bubble telling me that an unknown connection error ocurred and to try again later. I can make phone calls, send and receive texts, but can't check my weather. If I soft reset it works fine. Today, go to check my weather again and same problem. Been making phone calls and texting all morning without issue. Soft reset and again it works fine. Obviously, something is going wrong with my data connection over time, but what could cause it to just shut down completely requiring a soft reset to fix?
More weirdness. I tried manually turning on my data connection in the Connection Manager and as quickly as I turn it on it turns itself off. WTF! I haven't done/added anything to the phone in a week. Is this something on AT$T's end, could they be blocking me from using data for some reason?
About 2 weeks ago I did some regedit to have the data connection turn off automatically after 5 mins of non-use. It was working fine after that and anytime it needed a data connection it would make it. I don't remember where the setting was to change it back, but I doubt this is the problem because this issue just started yesterday.
I'm on AT&T also, on the new leaked ROM, and I have exactly the same issue. It started about 2-3 weeks ago, and I noticed the connection drops overnight (during the day I have no problems), and it'll only come back after restart or reset. I think it's AT&T's network...

Maybe they work on improving their towers and network lol
T-Mobile does that also.
i get a Could not coonect bubble,and have to manualy enable my data conection.If you guys are Tethering our providers automaticly drop our priority level...Unlimited my ass,they tried to cap me at Edge speed and all i had to do was disable/enable the data conection to blast 3g...
I found the problem, but I still don't know what caused it. I'm leaning towards something done on AT$T's end. I have always had my phone configured to use the AT$T ISP in network properties. Apparently, it no longer likes this setting. Switched back to MediaNet and all is working just fine. Problem is that when I first got the phone I did speed tests using both settings and AT$T ISP was faster, so that's why I set it that way. I can't test it now because it won't stay connected with that setting. Can AT$T block users from a particular connection? I don't tether and the most data I've ever used was 280mb last month. Hardly a reason to block me.
I'm not thethering either, my usage is roughly 600 MB/mo and my network is already set to MediaNet. This problem started recently, didn't have it before.
Looks like it is something going on with AT$T. A number of my friends from different states have reported issues over the past 2 weeks with several having severe connection issues the past few days. These are people on varying devices including iPhones, Blackberrys and smartphones. I hope it is due to AT$T finally upgrading their network and not overload from all the new iPhone users and abusive tetherers.
Anybody Having Data Issues, Like Being Stuck On Edge Outside And Inside Of Your House? Weird Data Switching All The Time? If So Did You Find Any Fixes Cause I Am Having That Problem On Every Rom From Stock To Juggernaut...
Edit : I Would Fill Out The Form To Samsung But Why Do It Unless Everyone Else Is Having The Problem To...

my issues is unstable 4g connection. it would just time out and not come back on until i turn on/off flight mode or just reboot.
manually switching to EDGE works just fine for me. idk my SGS2 is doing this.
vibrant: speeds and connection were fine until i cracked the screen
g1:used my g1 for 3 days before i purchased my SGS2. again, speeds and connection were fine
SGS2: 4g connection time out.
not even close to throttled and i mostly use my heavy data usage while at home.
TIP:
1) change your sim card
2)call tmobile (dial 611 on your phone)
- ask for technical support
- ask them to reset the network in your area.

The Weird Thing Is Stays On Edge But Gives Off Better Reception Bars, I Dunno If Some How The Modem Settings Is Backwards... Plus I Havent Even Used Half Of My Data
Edit: It Went Back On
This is an issue that I had when I first got my One X from Vodafone UK
The mobile data icon would flick between 3G & H with the up arrow showing data being sent, but nothing coming back.
Switching to airplane mode would solve it, but it would come back not long after.
I've since unlocked and am now running ARHD 9.0 - This seemed to make a difference, and it wasn't happening anywhere near as often.
Today though, it's back to the bad old days. I have full signal strength, and it can happen anywhere.
Mobile data seems to not work for about a minute or so, before coming back.
Infuriating as it always seems to happen when I need it for some reason.
Has anyone else had this issue, and what (if anything) resolved it?
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.
Just checking to see if I am the only one having these issues.
I have the 3 XL on ATT, and I randomly have no internet access over mobile data, even though the notification shows LTE and decent signal strength. Screenshots attached to show what I'm talking about. This has happened about 4 or 5 times since I received the phone a few weeks ago. I went to ATT and got a brand new sim, thinking that my old sim may have been going bad, but that did nothing. Only way to get the mobile network connection working again is to reboot the phone.
I have also noticed a few times that the squeeze for google assistant feature will stop working, and I have to reboot the phone to get it working again. Anyone suggestions? I am leaning towards just doing a factory reset this weekend, but I would like to avoid that if possible.
Thanks
dont know about the edge squeeze assisit not working (i use edge sense module and app) but i have to reboot or go into airplane mode to get data to work when i get the x. maybe using a different apn would help... im on att too
AT&T issues
This is now a problem for me. I have to put my phone in airplane and then back to lte at least once a day in order to get mobile data working again. I'm not really sure if it's a network issue or a phone issue.
Issue for me here too, but I'm in Australia on Telstra network.
