I occasionally will lose data connectivity out of no where. Half the time it happens after a soft reset. The 4G/LTE icon is still on the screen when this happens (mostly with full reception bars), and I still have access to voice.
The only "fix" I've encountered is turning airplane mode off/on three times, then powering the device off/on, repeating this process at least 3-4 times.
My sim card is provisioned correctly (obviously it works since I've had data before).
Was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

wow, of all the reviews, all the conversations with owners and testers, you are the first to mention this. Are you in an lte area? I know a higher concentration of drops appear to occur on lte areas
We'll all have to watch this one.
I think you have a bad phone. You will likely need a new phone to fix this. I know becuase this is what my 1st Droid Razr did. Does the phone get hot when this happens? does it seem slow as crap data speeds, like you can't even get a 360p youtube to load and web pages take forever. when this was happening my H+ S2 would make my RAZR look like it was on poor 3g/good 2g.
My isuse it some times droped EVERY thing or some times all data, but voice worked. A few times I fell back to 1x ( verizons 2G) and a lot of times 3g. (good day there 3g SUCKS and if any one tells you diffent take a 50 cal and .... ok you get it.)
Any way hope it gets fixed.
WPCentral has a review out (http://www.wpcentral.com/wpcentral-review-att-nokia-lumia-900) and noted the same thing. Possibly a bug: "We have seen an odd occurrence where our Wi-Fi connection can receive data but outgoing data crawls. We’re not sure why that is but haven’t seen it before on our other Windows Phones which causes us to raise an eyebrow. We’ve also had a few reports from early users noting the same behavior. Toggling the Wi-Fi on/off for a few minutes seems to do the trick but we’re a little concerned that this may an early bug."
Whats interesting is that users (like myself) who have moded their phones to re-enable the internet sharing option on devices that originally had it disabled - encounter the same issue. Leads me to believe that it could be a bug in the OS itself relating to internet sharing.

turns out to be a software issue with an update coming on 4/16. id post a link to the nokia site saying so, but i dont have enough posts, plus im sure you guys already saw it over all the tech blogs.
I have this issue as well.
me too! no data
Problem will be solved by April 16... Will need to update software...Also every lumia purchased until 21st will be given $100 credit towards attach bill.. Pretty much getting this phone for free!

Hi guys,
I have the N5100 3G version. I have had it since may and it has worked well. However, since yesterday, Three UK started blocking me from using data. It says I have to get a tablet sim. The problem is I don't want to loose the ability to make phone calls.
Has anyone had an issue like this?
I'm also having the same issue, I have spoken to three support today at length with the result being "we can sell you a mobile broadband plan sim that you can swap out for data" - it appears that Three have launched the LTE version on the note 8 as a tablet only device (ie, no phone or text) and so are blocking all versions of the note 8 under that ruling.
I'm going to try and get to talk to someone not loacted in India tomorrow to look into this as this is my main device for phone calls aswell as data and I'm locked into the one plan for another 9 months!

Yay, I am not the only one! I am really disappointed with it. They don't seem to understand me, I also use it as my main device. I do wonder how they identify the device, it would be good if we could change it so they think its a phone.

We 5100 owners in the US want the exact opposite: tablet plans are so much cheaper, we wish it were recognized as tablets instead of phones! If they are identifying your device by imei number, you may be able to get around it by using an imei from an LTE version. I had a similar issue (in reverse) and that's how it was resolved. I may eventually get caught, but for now, I'm flying under the radar.

How difficult was that to do?
Be careful talk of changing imei is against the TOS on these forums. As tempting as it sounds it is both dangerous and legally dubious. It is a common tactic used by phone thieves to activate stolen phones. Also modifying such information can render your phone a paper weight if not careful.

Hi, have you spoken to someone? Any resolution?
I'm starting to get really disappointed with my brand new Note 4. for several reasons.
Now I've discovered that it does not support voice and data at same time. That is a HUGE HUGE HUGE problem for me - especially if I'm using it as a notspot and miss phone calls. Are there any ROMS that deal with this issue? If not then I need to give up and return the phone before my 14 days is up.

If you are using hotspot you shouldn't miss phone calls. IT will automatically still ring but stop your data. :\
No, no rom can help with this.
You can get an unlocked note 4 that doesn't utilize sprint spark or integrate ur sprint number with Google voice and use calling and texting over data with hangouts. Other than that ur out of luck.

I don't think the question was all that ignorant - its not a hardware limitation of the phone - it's the spark network that it's on. Other Sprint phones have this ability - and if you had a way to get your Note 4 OFF the spark network and onto their other one, this problem would not exist. I was wondering if there was a ROM that dealt with this - but I guess not.
If you try using hang outs for calls do I deleted phone.apk?

Actually its a spark hardware issue. He's right. Be careful the way you word things. The way you are saying it, makes it seem as though you could just turn off spark and solve the problem. Whereas thats not the issue. Itsba combination if the hardware required for spark and the was spark is setup in our devices.

Nope just make a call from hangouts or google voice. Leave the phone apk intact.
There are older phones - such as the Galaxy S4 - that you still get 4G data and can talk at the same time - because these phones are not on the Spark network. It would seem logical that one could configure your Note 4 to use the network that these older S4's are using - changing the APNS, making changes to your CSC...etc etc etc. It's not a hardware limitation of the phone - it's a hardware limitation of the spark network - so all you need to do is config the phone to use the other network. Problem of course is that Sprint sure as hell does not want you to figure this out and thus won't do anything to assist you in doing so.
But - at this point - I really don't care. This has me so pissed that I'm giving up and going to try T-mobile. What kind of loooser move is this by Sprint? Have top-tier smart phone that you can't multitask talk/surf at same time? Horrible, horrible move by sprint.
Yes I understand I could use hangouts to kinda get around this - but it's just worth it - furthermore this problem will still exist when trying to use the phone as a hotspot - and you can't use hangouts to make phone calls while using the phone as a hotspot - so again it's a hole they've dug us into that there simply is no way out of - other than dumping Sprint for ANY OTHER carrier that has the Note 4 - cause none of the other carriers have this issue.
Such a shame.

Except for the fact that no other carriers has unlimited data and Sprint knows this. So if you want unlimited data you have to pay by Sprints rules. Or go to other carrier, pay twice what you pay now, get 5GB per month and hit for ten bucks for ever gig you go over or get throttled so bad you might as well be using radio service.
tmobile now offers unlimited 4g no cap. in my case the total monthly bill is within 20cents of sprint. and surf and talk same time. choice seems obvious to me.
Simultaneous voice and data is a focus for Sprint and is part of network vision but isnt the top priority. Top is increasing speeds and stability in the network. Eventually it will be a capability.

I have a Version Note 4 and a Sprint Note 4 in my hands. Verizon has 2 bars - Sprint has 4 bars. Verizon download speed - around 11mb average. Sprint download speeds - average less than 1mb. So 1/2 the signal yet 10 times the speed on verizon. Tomorrow I will have a Tmobile one and will see how it does - but if Sprint is trying to deal with speed they're sure doing a crappy job of it. I used signal check pro to validate the signals.

Yep - I have it ordered should be here in 24 hours or so. Of course the next thing is all this has taken so long that now I'm past the 14day no-return policy with sprint - so I expect a battle when I try to return the phone 2 days after the 14th day. If anyone has any suggestions on how to deal with that let me know.

Own up and take responsibility for keeping the device longer than the 14day. There is plenty of info here, to search through and make an informed decision.
Lol @ Spark isn't a hardware issue, thats only a half truth. Until we get VoLTE
Not sure if there's a thread already for this, feel free to delete. Anyone experienced loss of mobile network connectivity when you are not using wifi anymore? You will need to restart the phone in order to get the mobile network back.
I'm not sure what actually triggers it for me, but there have been 2 or 3 times in the past 2 weeks since I got my Note where mobile data is dead and restarting my phone is the only way to fix. Not sure what's going on. Hasn't happened in several days.

It happens all the time when im out of range from a wifi and the phone wont switch to mobile network automatically.
My wife and I have both been experiencing the same problems with our Note 7.
No solution found for us except restarting phone. It seems to happen when the following occurs: (1) temporary initial loss of mobile signal, like from being in an elevator, combined with (2) not being connected to WiFi network. Fwiw, we are on T-mobile in a major market area. Previously had Note 5's with same carrier in same area for over a year without experiencing this issue.
Same thing here and a buddy of mine same thing on tmobile. Fringe areas wreak havoc on this damn thing. Lags...loses signal..etc. my s7 had MUCH STRONGER reception in the same areas this damn thing can barely keep a signal! Smh
**UPDATE**
I got around to calling T-Mobile today, and they said that this is now listed in their system as a known issue with the device. Rep I spoke with said he didn't really have much more information other than they've gotten enough reports of signal loss with the Note 7 to have it be flagged as a known issue.
According to the rep, the only known fix at the moment is rebooting the device. Obviously this is a pain in the ass if you have to reboot the phone every time you get on an elevator and lose signal.
Given the circumstances, this at least rules out it being a network carrier issue or an Android OS issue. The rep was not sure if the problem was related to hardware or software. If its software, it something that can be corrected; but if its hardware, then there really is no solution.
My plan is to deal with it for another 3-4 weeks and see how the Note 7 recall pans out, which should also provide a bit more time for them to figure out the cause of the signal loss problem. If it seems like it's not going to be fixed, then I'm just going to trade in the phone for something different. Fwiw, I asked if they had similar reports for the S7 or S7 Edge, and they said there were no system flags for this issue on those devices.

Funny you mention this as a week ago I stumbled upon a thread "boycotting" the slim "cigarette" phones possessing aspect ratios greater than 16:9. From what I had gathered from reading through user's complaints, about 97% favored the re-adoption of the classic wide AR of phones while disfavoring (with some expletives) these Malboro cigarette phones.
In my opinion, in order to please certain audiences (that would be us) phone companies should at least provide 2 phone flavors, slim and wide. Personally I wouldnt mind creating a fb campaign if you guys would like to join that protest.

My best advice to you if you really want your mate 20x to remain your keepsake is to swap networks to another gsm which would be a smart move by paying a similar price

Ok guys I have created a facebook page. Keep in mind that this is the first time I have ever created a fb page regarding a company. Note also, I'm not a social media person so bear with me. That said, I strongly encourage suggestions as to how best to make it look right and communicate the right message to the company and our audience. It is still a work in progress. Please don't hesitate to add your opinions.
I need 24 likes on the fb page before I can add a username according to fb rules.
Let me know what you think!

Getting back to the initial point of this thread, my phone was turned off today by AT&T in the United States. I spoke with AT&T customer service. They indicated that even though the EVR-L29 is a 4G LTE phone, it handles voice calls over a 3G network. There is supposed to be a setting on the device to switch the phone to 4G LTE calling (VoLTE.) However, when I checked my settings, the switch was not there. I posted in another thread on XDA about this situation; but have not heard back. In the meantime, has anyone found a solution? I was told that all of these devices would be turned off permanently in February as the 3G network will be dismantled. I'm hoping to find a solution before then because I really don't want to let this phone go. Otherwise, are there any suggestions for other larger (7") screen phones that do 4G LTE calling on US bands supported by either AT&T or T-Mobile? Thanks.

What bothers me is that cricket, H2O, etc... Which are all on the AT&T network have not been told they need to get a LTE voice phone.
My parents are in cricket with OnePlus unlocked phones. My sister is in H2O.
Business as usual for carriers that use AT&T towers so what the **** is going on at AT&T?

They indicated that even though the EVR-L29 is a 4G LTE phone, it handles voice calls over a 3G network. There is supposed to be a setting on the device to switch the phone to 4G LTE calling (VoLTE.) However, when I checked my settings, the switch was not there. I posted in another thread on XDA about this situation; but have not heard back. In the meantime, has anyone found a solution? I was told that all of these devices would be turned off permanently in February as the 3G network will be dismantled. I'm hoping to find a solution before then because I really don't want to let this phone go. Otherwise, are there any suggestions for other larger (7") screen phones that do 4G LTE calling on US bands supported by either AT&T or T-Mobile? Thanks.

The sad thing is that when I tested a TMobile sim card the option to switch to VoLTE shows up!

Really? If that's the case, I will simply switch to T Mo. I have no allegiance to a carrier.

Yeah I was going to do that but then my wife wanted to upgrade phones and I kind of wanted the better cameras of the S21 Ultra. Plus I never felt the Mate 20x was that big anyway (compared to what I had before). Still hoping for the return of the 16:10 phones one day or better foldable ones
Anyway, at least at this time, I dont see a problem with Tmobile and the Mate 20x.
