Unable to maintain a mobile data connection since pie update? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

I finally for myself to catch up on updates a couple weeks ago. And since then I haven't been able to hold a connection to mobile data at all. Occasionally I get lucky and it'll work for a bit, but never stays.
Seems like other people have had this issue, but namely on Sprint. I tried resetting my network connection settings, but that didn't help. Nor did starting on safe mode.
Is this a known issue still? Is there a solution I missed somewhere?

Did you try factory resetting? That sometimes helps and is worth trying.

Not yet. I've been holding out hope that I won't have to.
Will probably try that in the next few days if I can't find another solution.

Understand that feeling for sure! I hesitated as well, but it did improve things and was surprisingly easier than I remember.

Just bit the bullet and tried - in so far my phone will only pick up a 3G connection, and only if I turn my wifi off.
Scratch that, nothing has changed.

Not Receiving Calls or Texts

Hello all,
Recently, I flashed Calkulin's E4GT 2 rom from his E4GT 3.0 one, and things had been working well for a day until it began to randomly crash and stopped notifying me/receiving any missed called/texts. I flashed back to 3.0, saw the same issues reoccur (calls/texts not coming through); reflashed 3.0 and wiped everything and still to no avail.
Data works perfectly, and I am able to send texts as well as call.
Any advice on what to do?
Try this go to settings, about phone, system updates then update profile and PRL then reboot phone and see if that helps.
call sprint (*2), tell them you want to do a DATA REFRESH, works everytime, just make sure you have your ESN ready.

Thanks; tried this earlier and it didn't seem as if it works, but I pulled the battery out for 10-30 seconds and things seem to have returned to normal...somewhat.

sort of, when people come into my store with this issue i usually do an update of the profile but if that doesn't fix it, i do a data refresh....update profile is like a "soft reset" and data refresh is like a "hard reset", both essentially do the same thing just one is more extreme and complete reprograms the phone.
Okay, so I called Spring and asked them to do a data refresh and also updated the PRL and Profile but to no avail.
Any other ideas? Or should I just unroot and go to Sprint and see if they'll be able to help me?

they wont ask about rooting or anything like that...it wouldnt make a difference anyway because rooting shouldnt have an affect on your programming codes.

I would definitely return it back to stock before bringing it into sprint. I had a problem with my phone a couple months back and had to bring it in. First thing they did was check to see if it was rooted.

yeah def. don't bring the phone into a sprint store with it rooted haha. I've had a couple of those come in and we turn them right out the door because the phone was tampered with and it wont be fixed.

Lol I am pretty sure the guy that looked at my phone knew i had rooted it before though because when I odin'd back to stock I did the full wipe and he kept asking me why is there nothing on this phone and lookin at me with a grin I just told em it was acting funny so I thought maybe a factory data reset would fix it.

yeah but on a side note...sprint can truly work on rooted phones, even with custom ROMS. It is just up the store if they want to or not. So next time you take it in and they say they cant work on rooted phones, its law that they have to...(unless your ROM is the reason for the issue) ha
Results
Thanks to everyone for their help; ended up going to the store today and they ran a diagnostics test and reset everything. They said they had some towers down as well, so that may have added onto the problems.
Once again, thanks to all!

[Q] yakjuxw 4.2.2 update?????

I got a samsung galaxy nexus with a yakjuxw build?? is the 4.2.2 update ever coming??? i keep on pressing check updates but says that my
system is up to date.. Should i root my phone???? or is there an OTA update coming?
I would just root it and install either takju image or a custom ROM if I were you, seeing Samsung's track record at keeping the yakjuxw build updated, I don't think it's coming anytime soon.
All guides to unlock, root and install all are in the sticky, read it all through and you should be fine. Good luck.

Hi thanks! im new to this. Ive never rooted any phone in my life. so this would be the first, is there one specific thread that i should look at?
Efrant has a very good guide covering all of the basics stuff.
It's quite a lengthy read, but it covers most of the important subject you'll need to know, so it's highly recommended, about flashing your device to takju, use this guide, it'll walk you trough all of the manual steps needed to unlock and optionally root your device.
Keep it mind there's a faster and easier method, I.e. mskip's toolkit. But it's generally believed that you better do things manually, step by step first, before using something automated like a toolkit. Because then you'll at least know how the commands works, and if anything goes wrong, you can fix it manually yourself, instead of resorting to a toolkit without knowing how do they work, and why did you fail.
It'll takes more time with more trial and error than a toolkit, but hey, at least you'll learn something.

Just Google wugfresh toolkit, you can't brick a gnex anyway even though some people in this forum think u can with a toolkit but I have never seen any proof of such a thing happening.

As ^ mentioned use a toolkit If your new to it. I was on yakjuxw like u ,and I used the wugfresh toolkit to flash to Takju and Im on 4.2.2. Be advised Im facing wifi issues when the phone sleeps, This is a common issue with many users and has got nothing to do with flashin from yakukxw to Takju

Not to sidetrack the thread or anything, but what's the WiFi issues you've been having? Mine constantly turning itself on while sleeping despite setting the 'Keep WiFi while sleeping' to never, wonder if both are related?

Glad I'm not the only one, I thought it's an rogue app on my part or something. It's ridiculously annoying, I have bad wifi signal in my room, so I set it to turn off after sleep, but the damn bug keep restarting it and I lose like 2-3% per hour. Ridiculous.

Damn, if only we can switch our issues lol. Mine randomly wakes up and creating wakelocks, it stays up just fine, maybe it's your router? I remember having issues with WEP and b/g, switched to WPA2 and n and it disappeared. And shouldn't the phone automatically switch to mobile data once wifi signal is lost?

I really wish we could switch issues.. , when im home I usually turn data off, but the problem is that the wifi doesn't drop(a few times it does) , it active jus that the bars are not blue, they're grey, indicating limited connection, ive tried all possible settings on my router, reset it but no luck. Damn you Google! I had this on 4.2.1 too. Were you facing the same issue on 4.2.1?

Not that I know of, but it started happening in the last few weeks, so it could be a kernel problem or something, since I haben't switch kernel in around three weeks, so it could be that. I just flash another one, hoping it'll fix it.

I have the same issue, and this is one of the only posts about it. Have you found a way to fix it? I'm at a point where I'm about to just sell this. I can't get anything done. Do you by chance have T-Mobile?
Same issue. T-Mobile here. Doesn't disturb me enough to sell the phone, haven't had the issue since going to a custom ROM. I'm sure it'll be fixed with OTA's or whatever.
Hello
i have the same problem
i am on VIPNET Croatia
is some fix coming soon
it is very annoying
Really nice to know I'm not the only one. But my god, it's getting worse as time goes on. I'm at the point where I can't even get data unless I reboot the phone 5-6 times, and only for a few seconds. I am completely out of ideas.

please can you tell me witch coustom rom did you put in htc M8
and solve the data issue
i am going crazy with this phone
and i want to put same coustom rom like you
to get problem fix
please help
I have been using my m8 since the day I got it back in early April and have never experienced that issue. I am also on tmo but have the dev edition with stock rom but I live in the city so I always get a strong and good signal.
Possible solution
My M8 worked great for a month when about a week ago I've started having serious issues with the HSPA data.
After working great for a few minutes the data stopped working.
The H icon showed that traffic was sent from the phone but no traffic received by the phone.
Sometimes the data connection was restored by itself and sometimes I has to toggle the data connection off/on to have it restored.
It both cases the data connection failed again after several minutes.
All the diagnostics app showen that there was hspa connection.
After trying almost anything I could think of I found out what causes my problem:
It's the F**** NFC!!!
I've forgot that a week ago I've disabled the NFC thinking this will save battery life (though the battery life is great).
Turning the NFC on (followed by a power-down/power up cycle) solved all the data connection problem.
I've verified several times that NFC disable is indeed the cause of my problem.
Hope this helps others on this thread.

[Q] Problems with Google Music on M8 and Wifi

For some reason I can't get Google Music to actually download anything to my phone. I'm trying to do an offline playlist for when I'm travelling and don't want to use 4g. This has worked on multiple devices I've had in the past, so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. What's odd is, it won't stream music either unless I allow it to use 4G. I've reset my router and modem, restarted the phone, cleared the app data and cache and signed in again. Nothing I seem to do works and I'm getting irritated. These are songs I uploaded to and/or purchased from Google Music. Also, I do have data connectivity to everything else I can think of, work email, gmail, facebook and the internet as a whole are all working on the phone. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!
Continuing my research, I found a review in the play store of someone with an HTC One (doesn't say if it's M7 or M8) that has the same problem. No reply to it though.

I have this EXACT same issue. I can mark my playlists or radio stations for offline download, but if the checkbox for 'download on wifi only' is ticked, it never downloads.
The same thing happens with google photos and auto upload. If I have it set to upload on wifi only, it never happens. So the problem is very similar, but only with this device. My nexus 5, and Nexus 7 don't have this issue. So it's likely software, but I just can't figure out what it would be. I really don't want to do a factory reset and have to set everything up again. Maybe there's some HTC software messing it up?
Summary of issue:
ONLY happens in google music and google photos
only happens when set to 'download(or upload) on wifi only'
Only happens on the htc one m8
Issue does not occur on nexus 5, or nexus 7.
Thank goodness it's not just me, I just realized it's happening for me on google photos auto backup as well yesterday. I concur it's got to be something software based but I'm not sure what it could be, the photo backups did work for me without issue for a while, I ended up turning it off for a couple days for some reason I can't recall, and never noticed after turning it back on that it wasn't actually uploading.

Mine worked well when I first set everything up, but that was because it defaulted to uploading over mobile networks. I usually set it to upload on wifi only when charging, and google music downloads over wifi only. Ever since I set them to wifi, they don't sync properly. If I switch them back to use the mobile network, everything works fine. I'm so annoyed with this. I tried running a logcat and it didn't seem to offer too much info that I could notice. I switched back to the dalvik runtime from art with no change. The next step is a factory reset, but I'm not sure that's going to help me.
I'm pretty sure I had mine on wifi only as well, but I could be wrong. I'm not going to have time to mess around with it anymore until later tonight (US Eastern Time Zone), have you tried calling support at all? I haven't yet, but may give it a go. If not, I'll let you know when I'm going to try a factory reset and whichever of us can first should post if it resolved the issue or not hehe.
Oh, one thing I just thought of, are you using Lookout Mobile Security?

I'm fairly certain support isn't going to be useful. They're going to suggest a handful of unrelated things to try, then they're going to have you do a factory reset. I'm NOT using lookout security. That was the first thing I disabled. I don't need that crap on my phone lol. I could technically do a factory reset now, I just don't want to spend my free time at work today reinstalling and setting up all my apps and settings.
Yeah, I don't really think support would be useful either. I thought about tweeting at @HTC or @HTCUSA about it, but they'd probably do the same thing as support. I do have Lookout turned on, figured it was worth a thought if you did as well. I would take the time to do the factory reset today while at work but am prepping for a major DR test so I'm just flat out not going to have the time, plus I don't want to mess up my exchange account etc lol
Do you have any corporate applications on? We use Airwatch for MDM at my office, and even though it's not *supposed* to have any impact on personal devices other than requiring a PIN lock, I'm wondering if something else is causing me connectivity issues of some sort.

Just went through htc support. no luck there. Had me clear cache and reset data on a bunch of apps to no avail. I'm going to do a hard reset and see if that helps.

Factory reset didn't fix it. Ugh. This is a deal breaker for me! I've only had the phone for 3 days, but I don't want to return it...
I contacted HTC to see what they can offer as far as extra help...I'll keep you posted.
Thanks, I called the T-Mobile store I got mine from to see if they'd heard of anyone having this issue, they hadn't and want me to stop in so they can take a look. I've been using Android since the G1 and also have had my usual crew of fellow Android geeks here at the office take a look and everyone came back to factory reset. I don't really feel like going to the store to have them suggest that as well and find out, like you, that it doesn't work. I'll let you know if I find anything else out also. Thanks man!

Well I'll clear that up by saying a factory reset isn't going to fix it. It's a software issue.
Exactly what I said, I'm tempted to root and try another ROM as I've had mine for over a month now. I'm wondering if you're up for it if you'd try another M8 to see if it happens there too? I've been trying to figure this out since June 1st and haven't really found anyone else dealing with the issue, kinda wonder if it's a glitch with the Wifi as I'd think if it was a pure software issue it would be more prevalent. :-\

I highly doubt it's an issue with wifi because it works fine. I could surf the internet all day and it would just work. Yet, auto upload, and downloading songs in play music doesn't work. Super annoying. I'll probably give it a try tonight/tomorrow and see how it goes though.
I just figure since you just got yours they may give you less of a hard time about exchanging. I'll go fight with them either way, but I have to probably wait another week as i'm on call starting Friday for a week and can't go without my phone at all :-\

I'll swing by there when I get a chance. If I can get a replacement, I'll take it. But I really don't think the device is the issue. Something is amiss here.

Wifi unstable

It appears that my wifi is very unstable. After transfering around 250mb, my connection stops working. Usually the connection requires me to cycle wifi in order to get it working once more.
I initialy thought that the issue could be fixed in the tmobile software update, but that was not the case. The issue persists after the update that took place last night.
Are any of you experiancing this? Any thoughts on how to resolve? I have setup a warranty replacement but id rather just send that back and keep my already setup device.

well i guess my search skills are lacking compared to yours. There is 1 post that is in the troubleshooting section that is titled with a [fix] tag. but that is not really a fix. it is simply a workaround by not using the 5ghz band. this makes it so that i cannot use my ac connection.
but since you are so much more in the know and your search skills are far better than mine. can you please point me to the threads about this issue?

i suggest you stop assuming anything and search yourself. Also stop being a ****, its unnecessary. But i am sure it helps you feel so much more knowledgeable and better to post a "lrn 2 search" reply.
my guess is that you seen wifi blah blah blah and were like "this is the same as wifi calling not working or wifi turning off after the screen turns off" or some other basic issue.
but hey you know, here is a great search http://bfy.tw/J57

I don't need to search myself, I'm not creating the thread.
Doesn't make me feel good at all. It's rule number ONE in the forum rules. GUESS what rule 2.1 is? Language.

I've been having the same issue. It seems to be primarily in the 5ghz band. One suggestion I saw that seems to have helped is doing a factory reset.

Another thread mentioned FRs don't fix some issues and I have issues on 2.4 so it seems different for all.

I don't see how this thread is redundant, there's no need to police the forums.
OP's issue is something I've had - a factory reset, TheClefSLC, seemed to do something productive, though I still get drops when data is being transferred on a moderately large scale. As of now I think we'll have to either wait for a software/firmware update or, once the device is unlocked, experiment with ROM modifications...

I'm returning mine tomorrow.. this is unacceptable. Wifi just stops working.
I have 5ghz off on my router, so it is doing it on 2.4 too.
Try changing the channel on the router. I had about 8-10 instances over 24 hours where the phone just stopped transmitting data with the router. I had to toggle Wi-Fi to fix it. I changed the channel on my router and haven't had an issue in 48 hours or so now. Seems to have worked.
Yes... I noticed this since day one and everyone thought I was crazy... I did make a post b4 about this but it was chalked up to i need to reset my router but my nexus 5 works awesome on the same network

I think that this may just be the fix to our WiFi problems. I put my 2.4Ghz on channel 6 and my 5Ghz on 40. Seems to have done the trick, and my speeds seem faster on the 5Ghz on channel 40. well see how it goes over the next few days.

The problem is when you try to access networks you don't own. [emoji29] but hopefully there'll be a solution!

True that.. Hopefully we get a patch soon or root and a custom ROM that fixes this!!

YES! Just changed to channel 6 (what someone else said) and it's been much better for me!

Well, it seems to put a band aid on the problem. It works fine for a little while, maybe a few hours. But after that the problems return. At least they did for me
I just tried the 2.4:6/5:40 setting with my Asus RT-AC68U. 2.4 ran a bit faster according to the Speedtest app, but 5 ran at pretty much the same speed (both were set to auto channel select beforehand). I am going to tinker around with it some more and see if I can improve upon it.
I have noticed the same issue on both 2.5 and 5ghz. I stream music thru chromecast and frequently experience lost connections. Very annoying. I hope this is an issue that is addressed soon in an update.
