Hey gang. Running LOS 14.1 on the S4 Mini. In the last couple of weeks I've noticed that I lose mobile data (plenty of signal bars, but it'll show H+ or 3G with a little x underneath) for no apparent reason. A reboot fixes it temporarily but it always recurs.
This has survived a wipe of Davlik / Cache / System / Data and reinstall of LOS 14.1 w/ Gapps Nano.
Suggestions?

Are you using 'System Profiles'? Be sure that 'Network Card Type' is set to 'LTE' or 'Leave Unchanged', there, as well as in your 'Data Usage' settings. Or, switch off profiles.
Maybe that's not your problem but it's the only thing that immediately jumps out to me reading here, I don't see why else your connection settings should auto revert to the defaults.

Really hard to tell because suddenly it's acting okay; but no, not exactly the same. What will be happening is one minute the phone is acting fine; the next you realize there's no data. You might still have four bars of signal, and the "H+" or "3G" or whatever, but there is a little X in the corner of the bars implying no data. Voice calls and SMS still work, but there's no data. This condition survives a reboot, and usually all the way home. Once on our wifi, then it works okay and if I turn the phone wifi off, then it will get back on the data network fine. I have yet to pin down a specific condition that causes the mobile data to drop.
OK, follow-up... still happening occasionally. Very annoying. Today I managed to fix it by turning Mobile Data off, then on again. No idea why it worked this time and not others, but it's driving us towards a new phone. Well, new/used. Looking at Galaxy S6s on eBay right now.
Per IronRoo's earlier post, I tried the "Search for Networks" but it said "Already Registered on Network;" and it's true, the icon showed three bars of H+, but with the little X in the corner. I also double-checked the "Access Point Names" submenu, but "T-Mobile US LTE" was (correctly) selected, so that's not it either. :dunno:

I'm running my Captivate glide on Orange network (device is unlocked).
I rooted it following all the steps shown in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378082 (BTW, works great thanks).
I kept AT&T rom, but issue happens also with Rogers rom.
This happens only on 3G/3G+ connections.
WiFi works great.
The issue looks quite simple: data connection drops (very) often.
No more email push notifications, ...
Have to go to Settings > Network > Airplane mode : switch it on and then witch it off to get data connection back.
It is not an operator issue. My other phone(s) are using the same and data connection works.
Is this a radio rom issue ? Is there a fix ? (didn't find a thing related to that issue).
Anyone having this issue ?
Depends on how strong your network is, I have experienced this a few times.
I keep getting this now that I have had more experience with it, anyone else experiencing random sharp drops in data speed/connection?

Well, I have 4 out of 5 bars... Signal looks strong enough to me.
If I use the same SIM card in a HTC MyTouch 4G slide => Works great, no data connection drops at all !
Looks like it depends on what programs are running and using the data connection:
- email push - connection last long enough.
- when I'm running Bejive (IM) - connection last a bit less (before the 1st drop).
- when I add Skype & LoudTalks : almost every 5 minutes connection drops.
I also noticed that after a voice phone call, sometimes data connection doesn't (cannot) restart by itself ...
Here is an idea :
Is there a way to tweak Operator connection like it can be done with HTC phones : GSM + CDMA, CDMA Only ?
Because when you switch the phone to CDMA only, it uses different frequencies and allow to keep data connections while talking on the phone.
Didn't find that option in Captivate Glide settings ...

Didn't make a difference for me using HSPA only.

I just checked ... I don't have the "Network Mode" option in "Mobile Networks" section.
I have Roaming, allow data connection, APN, ... but not Network mode.
Weird...
I checked the operator info. Nothing out of the ordinary there.
I'm stuck ...and it keeps happening. No solution for now.

Maybe try flashing the Rogers kernel and ROM since that's what I have?

Already did that, but that was a few days ago when looking for the WiFi tethering feature ...
I'll flash it back to Rogers kernel & ROM and test.
Update: Flashed Rogers rom.
Good news is I now have the Network settings back. (AT&T rom is not the right one, for sure !)
Data connection last longer. But the issue is still here.
Still investigating...
Anyone else having this issue ?
the day before yesterday, I went to the copier room in my school and stayed for about 2 hours (too many copying). before i get out, i have no signal (mobile network not available). I need to go out to have signal back or reboot.
It happened again yesterday on the exact same location, I'm going to be there again now.
I believe it might be location wise....in my case at least.

I checked, looks like it is not linked to a specific location. I've been travelling and issue kept occuring.
Once data connection is ok, it usually stays up for 2 to 5 minutes, then drops.
"4G" symbol is still displayed - but no more data connection. Web pages not available in browser, no email sync, no more IM, ...
While data connection is down, Cellphone still works, WiFi as well.
It may be linked to an APN issue ... Or definitely a Radio ROM issue.
I'm running Baseband I927RUXKJ5.
Anyone else having this issue ?
When I got the phone the AT&T rep told me there was a known issue with the phone dropping down to lower data speed. He told me if I experienced it to get a new SIM card. Doesn't sound exactly the same but maybe try that?
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?
Hi, lately I've been suddenly loosing my data connection for 3G/4G, and the only way to solve it is to turn the phone off and on. It seems a random event, sometimes I've noticed it after leaving the phone unused for a while and sometimes while surfing on websites. The icon on the status bar and the signal strength bar doesn't change at all, but still the phone refuses to connect to any website or check email. I've tried turning data on and off, and also going to airplane mode and back to phone, and it doesn't work. I'm on AT&T, with rooted ICS and tethering.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Which baseband you using? I have been using ICS using the .111 baseband with no issues in connectivity for a couple weeks.
Sent from my Sony Xperia™ P
I was having this issue yesterday while I was out. I would lose data even though it said I had it. Rebooted and has been fine so maybe some tower issue?? I am on the .111 ics baseband.
I also use the. 111 baseband. I've been using it for a month now, but only noticed the loss of connectivity for the last 10 days or so. Could it be the APN config? I searched around for configs, and noticed that some were missing fota and admin apn types. I've removed them, to see if this makes the problem go away. I've traced the tweaks I did, and I included these two in APN type about 10 days ago.
That has happened to me randomly the past few days, as well, using baseband .111 with rooted ICS. It, however, would not even have the icon that I had internet, the 3G/H/4G symbol would just be missing with only cell service bars. The first time it happened, my APN totally disappeared without me touching anything. The next couple times, the APN was just no longer ticked. Ticking the box (circle) works and I instantly have data again. Hope my situation helps others. I just wish there was a permanent solution to this bug.

It happened again today, I still had the 4G icon (I was in a LTE area) and the APN was still ticked. Again, after a reboot the internet worked normally.
Hey I've been having the same problem too!
At first I thought it was because I was using Straight Talk (prepaid) but I popped in the SIM card on my work phone and started noticing the same thing.
Long story short, I went into "data usage" to disable "set mobile data limit" thinking (what's the point if my data isn't working) and presto! All my emails and fb notifications started spitting out.
I think it was because I had "restrict background data" enabled as well.
While I was having this issue Mms was still working.

Thanks, I'll try doing this and will post back if I don't get the problem after a few days.
===============
After almost a week with the mobile data limit disabled, I haven't lost my data connection yet.
Was on the phone with ATT today and they said the storm did cause some issue with the towers so maybe it will not happen now. I have not seen this issue again after that one time.
Hello, I have an evo 4g that is flashed to boost. Has been working fine the past year an last week 3g stopped working.The icon is lit up but it seems that it does not work.Internal apps in the phone recognize if it is on or not either by attempting to work if it is lit up or by giving me the message that I need a data connection if it is not lit up. Tried rebooting-battery out and back in, tried uninstalling-reinstalling ROM(which is SS_Ultra) still no 3g. Wireless does work fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Roseypat...First I would dial ##33284# and then click "Data Status" and at the very top Where it says IP Address: after that does it say EVDO Rev A (with numbers like this 170.356.123.for example: EvDo Rev A 170.123.456.789.....or after the IP Address: does it say this 1xrtt 170.123.456.789) Also, below that it will say "Last Data Error:" if it says no data thats fine, but if it has a code what was it? This will at least tell us if you have a data connection and whether it is 3g(EvDo) or 1xrtt(2g)....Because you say that the 3g symbol is there it has to have a data connection...And the blinking your referring to is indicating that it is sending or receiving data.
That being said, this usually is related to a bad app downloaded or updated right around the time that it quit working...The first thing I would do is switch it to the stock rom if possible...But either way, I'm betting if you do a Factory Data Reset on your device(which will not effect the flash it will only erase all of the users inputs and data(ie apps, etc)....I just had someone with this exact issue and the Factory Data Reset fixed it back to normal. You can find this in the Storage section of the settings menu(at least on the stock rom anyways)...Btw, just to be safe, I would remove your sd card before you do the factory data reset. Good Luck.
Does anyone experience this scenario where the "Data Roaming" check box seems to uncheck itself in Settings/Mobile Data (hit the Menu button to check "Data Roaming" on)?
Even if I have it set on to Data Roam, every once in a while, it seems to uncheck itself. How do I know this, there's a certain section in the building I work where I usually always roam on Verizon (voice and data, no problem) and previous phones I've had (Note 2 and iPhone 5s) would roam just fine.
With the G2, I'll notice that a triangle pops up in the top left telling me that I've lost data connection because I have Data Roaming turned off. Of course I set it to data roam.
Lo and behold I go into Settings and Data Roaming has turned itself off again, so I check the box to Data Roam and data starts flowing. It will stick for most of the day or two until I notice it again, and the cycle repeats itself.
It gets really frustrating if I don't notice this phantom behaviour because I could be in this particular location for quite sometime and not notice that I don't have data because it's unchecked itself, again.
Anyone?
Mine will stay ticked but ***** that it is disabled. It's annoying.

I have a similar problem in that the box will stay checked, but I get "Data Roam Guard" notifications all of the time, even though I have the setting to not get the notifications. When I click remember this setting it doesn't take, and I also get the triangles regularly. It's very annoying.
Sadly I've gone back to my 5S. Just couldn't take it anymore constantly losing data where I never did before. Still keeping the phone hoping a not too far in the future update helps.
I can't believe this isn't happening to more people. Can't even find an inkling anywhere. Weird bug.
Very annoying. I have the same issue.
Just got my lg g2 2/15 great phone and i too am having the same issue is there a fix yet? i to am in and out of sprint service and have to keep turning it back on (put a check back in the roam box)

I Guess just a few of us have the data issue so short of returning the phone i called sprint to see if they had any ideas. had them create a trouble ticket to address the issue so will give it a few more days see what happens. Other than this major bug phone is great.

It seemed to only happen after the recent OTA update. I got so frustrated I reset the phone to factory, but still no fix. Anyone have an update on this bug?
