Anyone else having a problem with the NxS jumping between 2G/3G network all the time?
I tried 2G-only and it seems the it does interrupt connection less often, but it still does. I'll exchange the sim card tomorrow to rule out the last option (I can think of) I got before returning the NxS and asking for a replacement.
(i9023, stock rom/kernel/radio, tried 3 stock roms with diff radios (KA3, KB3, KD1))
Maybe anyone got an idea or a hint.
Sounds like ur in a weak 3g area so it keeps goin back to 2g

Granted I'm not in the best 3G area, but I usually get 3 (of 5) bars in 3G and then it just pops back to 2G.
Might be network pumping (or w/e it's exactly called), gonna exchange the sim anyway to track down the problem further.
Are u on orange in the uk

I have this problem aswell. Thing is 2 3g bars are way faster than 4 g bars. I cant change it to use only cdma in the service menu. Anyone know why.

So does change of simcard help?
I got it fixed for me. I tried n3 and n5 sim cards, no changes. Problems were caused by faulty antennas, after being fixed by the carrier problem was reduced to a minimum. Now to get rid of the so called network breathing, which is a problem of the used communication method itself aka can't be fixed. University ftl!! Simply too many smartphones

Hi guys.
I have been using my Atrix 2 from 4-5 months, and this is really an amazing phone.
But I found a thing really irritating.
The Data Connection on the Atrix 2 is very unstable, and it automatically gets lost if the phone is inactive for some time, say 1-20 minutes.
I have set the phone is performance mode, and have no justifications for this behavior.
I am on BSNL 3G in India, using APN BSNLNET.
Motorola Atrix Version: MB865
System: 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03
Android: 2.3.6
Does anybody else have the same issue, or the solution to this?
internet
I had that problem too I am on at&t 2g edge in the u.s the way I fixed it was I rooted my phone installed clockwork mod n I am now running rebelrom beta 3 with a atrix blaze update on top of that. Ummm if u have no intention of doing any of that then I would say u best bet would be call Motorola or ur service provider n ***** at them
Data connection stops randomly
I have too observed the same problem guys.Whenever there is low network signal it will switch off the data connection on its own but it will not start the data connection when there is sufficient data network available.
Some time I have to switch on it Airplane mode and after few seconds need to off that mode.If it won't work then the only option to start the data connection is restart your device.
Motorola Atrix Version: MB865
System: 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03

Please suggest any solution.
Thanks.

Hmm.. its just operator I believe... dunno about bsnl but had that prob with Airtel.. changed to aircel and dnt have any disconnection probs... best option for you is to change to some other operator... try using any of your friends sim before changing... personally I would recommended aircel if you are living in India..

i am updating my phone, lets see if this issue is resolved or not!
Anyways i also think it could be a network provider's problem
Same problem here! Disconnects automatically and then reconnects. And after d recent update, the network completely goes off for couple of seconds! Insane!

Hi!
I'm using an Atrix 2 (MB865) from AT&T, Unlocked, Rooted, Original Stock ROM and i'm having the same data transfer problem with Movistar Argentina.
I think a good option could be to flash a new ROM, but it's hard to see all option we have.
From my point of view, i need an stable ROM with good battery life.
Any suggestions ? Supercharged could be the one ?
I've certainly had a lot of luck with Supercharged. Everything's faster and more stable...battery life is much improved. I installed AnTuTu's CPU Master and Battery Saver, and that's helped battery life quite a bit too, it seems. (I'm a heavy user, but in spurts, not constantly)
My brothers running Sonya v3 on his atrix and loves it. Its much smoother than stock and he seems to get decent battery life out of it. He usually does an 8-10hr day at work and he gets home with still 50% or so battery life.
Same here, running wifi all day. I do plug in if I'm going to use Bluetooth for anything, though.

For what it's worth, I've seen a lot of wifi problems lately. I was wondering if maybe those with issues might be restoring wifi settings with titanium or similar methods. My point is, back when I had a Cliq XT I remember this problem popping up often with various roms (cm7, superOSR, ASOPs) and the common denominator came down to restoring wifi settings often would break wifi. So, for those with issues, make sure you're coming in clean when you flash/restore, don't restore wifi settings.

I had the same issue. Finally ,I went into setting for email and and disabled FETCH at specific times and enabled PUSH DATA .That would not allow the phone to disconnect Data Activity after 20 minutes!

I had the same issue. My phone would disconnect from the internet after about 20 mins of inactivity. Finally,How I fixed it was I went into the settings of the phone (Email Settings to be exact) ,turned off FETCH email(set to manual). Enabled PUSH DATA and with that in the settings,It does not allow the phone to turn its Data Connection off.
i wasn't experiencing this in MAH. but now i'm in bangalore & have this problem
i searched a lot and came at one solution i.e. to keep requirement under control
it means whenever you want to download, switch to 3G else for being online Edge is more than sufficient
it irritates but quite helpful
i use the app "network" from market to switch :good:
I have no signal when using 2g, but no problem when using 3g(hspa+, wcdma). I think this is a software problem because the mainland chinese moto Inc already fixed

same here,i can not connect to 3G mobile data unless i change to airplane mode (after enabling mobile data and change to 3G network) and then to air plane mode to off.
or to restarting mobile after enabling mobile data and change to 3G network.
i tried 4 ICS radio images,but the same issue !!
update:
i tried stock GB rom, same issue,but i tried another provider SIM with no issues, so , this was related to my provider network.
I had same issues, factory reset worked for me.. then i used titanium bkp just to restore my app... not sys data.... now its working fine... someone also told me noy to use power toggle...

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me because I am going crazy with my Optimus 3D My device constantly loses the 3G connection and so I don't get any notifications about new e-mails and Whatsapp messages. The icons for network strength turn white and even sometimes that happens with the wi-fi icon. I already tried rooting the device and installed a custom rom but I still have this problem. The problem mostly occurs in the office I work in as 3g and network reception is very low here. I see that the device switches between HSDPA, GPRS and 3G quite often and then most of the time loses the internet connection. It also does not reconnect when I walk around and get to an area with better reception. Sometimes switching to Airplane Mode and back helps, but this is not a very handy solution. I am really clueless where the problem could be. I am here in Frankfurt/German so normally there should be no problems with the network (I am on Vodafone). The only thing I could think of is my SIM card, because I had an iPhone 4 before and had to cut the card to the micro SIM size and now use it with an adapter. Could this be a problem? Also the app 3G reconnect did not solve this problem.
Has anybody a clue what might be wrong with my device? I am already thinking about getting a new phone
Cheers,
Andreas

I don't know when it loses the connection, could probably happen when it turns the screen off or switches between network speeds (3G, GPRS, HSDPA). It really is a problem for me that it does not get the connection automatically back. Currently it shows almost full network reception, the "G" icon with both arrows underneath (only the left arrow pointing up turns green from time to time), but it has no internet connection. I sent me a mail to my google account via my office PC haöf an hour ago, but still no message on the phone, that there is new mail
Just try a new simcard... my guess is that it will solve your problem.. could be worth the couple euros ..

I had similar Problems with O2 in Bremen.
That happens if the phone loses the 3g(h+) signal, turning of the data connection, and let that reconnect is enough, no need to turn on airplane mode than.
Try flashing the newest baseband version, and try the prometheus rom + kernel. I still notice that the same problem happens, but it reconnects again after losing it now, and i rarely notice it that way.
Maybe you could tell us your android version, and baseband version.

I had a similar problem when I used GB roms without upgrading my baseband.

Hi everyone,
thanks a lot for your answers. I have the newest firmware on it V21E and baseband is L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00. Problem is that it does not automatically reconnect when it loses the internet connection. I had this problem again the whole day. When I left the office for lunch it did not reconnect, so again I did not get the newest e-mails. Probably I will really try another SIM card with a different network provider. I never had this issue with my iPhone... Thanks a lot for the advices, hopefully something will work. Otherwise I need to get a new phone :/
Cheers,
Andreas
For me the 3g data service goes as it likes but to reconnect i have to restart the my phone. Tried many roms as well as kernels and finally using acura 3d Max 3.1 with titan kernel solved the problem. It doesn't give up 3g connection but if i switch to edge and back to hsdpa again i have to restart. Barry also lasts and have overclocked to 1.2 ghz
In the Dailer APP dial *#*#4636#*#* Phone info Scroll Down just above the turn off radio button Change from WCDMA Preferred to WCDMA only
Good morning (at least here in Germany it is morning *g*),
got me a new SIM card with a new provider yesterday evening and so far it seems to work fine in the office. I hope it stays like this, then the problem would be solved *phew* Thanks a lot for all your help!
Cheers,

bought a nexus s with a properly smashed screen off ebay and replaced it with a new one. when i insert sim card and search for a network it says cannot connect to network please try later. does this mean its been imie blocked?? bit pissed off to be fair but hey ho always a gamble when you get off ebay
I believe that you would still have to activate that with carrier and if it's blocked they can tell you

when connected to network calls and texts dont work but 3g internet does. help appriciated
This sounds like a job for Odin. Get the newest factory image from here and be sure you flash everything....rom, kernel and radio, especially! This is the best way to see if it's a firmware or hardware issue. If it still happens after a factory flash you'll know it's hardware related.
Friends,
Quite frequently calls are being dropped with my s6. Suddenly the network completely disappears from full bars to nothing. I've tried different modems, no help.
?
Anyone experiencing the same problems?

Guys I can't believe this. I am convinced that more people are having the same issues with 4g network stability and dropped calls!
Please sound up and let us know.
The GSM network stability is nowhere as stable as with my last s4
My problems include the following
- dropping from 4g to lower speeds, even edge when trying to so something data intensive (browsing)
- dropped calls and random network loss while triggering network activities (browsing, refreshing mails, calling)
- trouble establishing calls. When the network drops out I have to wait about 10 second until I have bars again.
Please let us know how your device is behaving, what might be causing these problems and how to fix it.
Best
Thomas from Germany

Sadly, there are quite a few threads about dropped calls on this and other forums. Some have tried factory resets, unchecking "HD enhanced LTE services", removing LTE altogether, etc. Some report their caller cannot hear them. Perhaps 5.1.1 will fix some of the problems, but that's assuming they're software related. I'm personally wondering if it's a problem with the antenna placement. Some carriers like Sprint in the US have had so many complaints, they have issued special patches. Keep checking the forum and hopefully a solution will be found.

Thanks, I really hope it's a software problem. Sometimes even my Bluetooth connection to the car breaks up. It's like the radio is unstable and reacts when stressed.

My S6 had a poor signal from day 1, it fluctuated a lot and couldn't hold onto network signal well. I sent it for repair to Samsung and I am picking it up tomorrow (they said they have repaired it) so we will see. Maybe everyone needs to send in their device to get repaired.
Same thing happening with my wife's AT&T S6 Edge. The S4 never had the issues in the areas the S6 is having problems with.
Maybe everyone needs to send in their device to get repaired.
It's unbelievable. Samsung is really testing our patience with this device.
- display tinting
- bad reception
- scratches out of the box
- inconsistent home button and volume keys
What's next?

I have none of these issues barring tiny tint on display. They aren't testing my patience. American carriers are notorious for dodgy reception and signal and dodgy software.
Doubt it's the carriers fault. I'm in europe and I'm having crazy dropped calls everyday

Device came back UNREPAIRED! Guess what?! They replaced the display assembly and camera lens cover!! These things were not faulty, not even the issue I sent the device in for. There's no engineer notes other than telling me the display and camera lens cover was replaced and the repair is completed. They didn't even look at the issue I sent the device in for which is poor signal, and the issue still exists!
I've booked it in for repair again! Samsung didn't understand why the repair centre didn't even look at or mention the issue I sent it in for so they booked it in for a "soak test". It's an "Authorized Samsung Repair Centre" that the phone goes to, not actually Samsung themselves. I called the actual repair centre and they told me that their engineers do not read the notes, they just go through a certain procedure with all devices and repair anything they find to be faulty. They said the screen and lens cover may have been replaced because they could have been damaged upon the engineers opening the device.
It's just poor service, very very poor service for a brand new device.
That's depressing. Exactly why I didn't send in my device. Sorry to hear!

My G920FD (Dual Sim) has same problem in Europe, poor reception on 3G and 4G , signal level fluctuated, on GSM i have a lot of call droppings. The phone working well only in the places where the signal strength is very good.
Still can't see that it's the phone. I'm in the UK on O2 network and even when signal is on 1 or no bars I get 0 dropped calls barring one which was the other party in a dodgy signal area. Faulty phones maybe, but general issue with the phone, no way.
I think the amount of replies to this thread proves my point
My phone works just fine now after flashing the latest 1.4 rom with custom kernel.
I'm sure it's a software problem
