[Q] No signal - Captivate General

For the past couple of days around the same time 10pm I have lost my signal and it doesn't reappear until the morning, or at least that's what happened this morning. I'm running Apex 10 and the 5.1.2 of Talon. It's very frustrating because I can't use the damn thing as a phone and I'm not even sure if the signal will come back. This just randomly started happening what could be the problem??
Thanks

Tower maintenance?

The last time I saw that on my phone was when at&t was back hauling a tower. I'd give them a call and see

Thanks, the fact that Apex is an i9000 rom seemed to be the problem, because my signal went out again tonight. I flashed Fasty III to my phone and magically I had a phone signal! Thanks again, really appreciate it!

Horrible GPS. Any tips?

I'm running Infused 1.5.3 and I an having trouble with GPS accuracy. It often never finds a lock inside or out. Any help would be appreciated because at this point it is worthless.

I second this. I'm running stock rooted with original radio. GPS has been great since I got this phone almost 2 months ago. It has just went to being almost completely worthless. Never locking below 50m standing outside.

4G down in phoenix for fourth time

About twice a month, it seems like 4g data goes down in phoenix. Anyone experiencing this? I change to LTE mode in dad bamf settings and get nothing.

Negative, I work in PHX live in Gilbert... it's never gone down for me... I have had the phone occasionally lock itself in 3G when I know I'm in a 4G zone, but a reboot or LTE on/off usually fixes that.
Mine was out last night but thought it was mostly due to storm, back up again as I am using it now. Queen Creek is my location.

Thanks guys, I am guessing it is a radio issue. Will try reseting.

i have lost my 4G service in Phoenix before but then i switch set dns to the google dns option and it works.
Other than sporadic issues lasting a few minutes, have not had any outages in the past few months. Out in the Queen Creek area.

How'd you like that storm? I live in the outskirts of Queen Creek where the microburst hit. Kinda weird seeing twenty powerlines turned into splinters, looks like something snapped them at the base like twigs.

no 4G in my area yet, although since yesterday the 3G has been going up & down regularly and is still doing it today. a friend of mine has a Droid Charge and has said the same thing is happening with her phone.
the "3G" logo will suddenly disappear & the bars will go off, then it'll either come right back up(or after a few seconds) and sometimes will show "1X".
i'm in Carlsbad, CA btw. i wonder what the hell Verizon is doing....
Mine cut out for a minute or so but nothing major.
i live in the tempe/scottsdale area and have never gotten 4g outages
Works for me as well. Scottsdale/Phoenix border.
Its been intermittent for a day or two in Dallas/Fort Worth when ever they do the network upgrade nationwide for the new networks to come online.

Can't regain signal without restarting

Completely stock phone... I never messed with it from day 1.
So here's the thing... everytime I take a subway and after the get out from underground the phone never regains the 4g data icons... the signals are there but it doesnt let me browse the web or use any apps that require a data signal.
Restarting the phone solves the problem...
But at work everytime I go to the basement and come out.. I completely lose the signal and do not automatically regain it once I'm out on the street... this made me miss many calls and incoming texts... I also switched my sum card 2 weeks ago for the newest 4g Sims... it helped for about 2 days.. but now same thing happens all over again..
Any tips?

Try toggling flight mode on then back off.

Did that... it rarely works... but either way... its not good when a phone can't regain a signal... because its in my jeans the whole time... and I get a lot of missed calls due to that... its horrible.
Does anyone else experience this problem with their galaxy s?

I gave it happen too. Annoying.

If its completely stock I would call in the warranty.

If you've always been using stock, then you should try your hand at flashing GB.
Try out some new modems too. It might solve your problem.

Att data down??

Is anyone else having problems with att data services?? I just disconnected from my wifi, and it seems that att data is not working, can't browse the web
No. But I'm in Texas. Depends on the tower you are on.

Mine does the same thing. Usually if I wait just a little bit, it will come on. Never had this problem on GB. Thinking about going back until the new JB ROM gets up and running a little longer. Almost there!

Mines stock and rooted and will drop the data every once in a while even in the middle of downtown dallas. I just toggle data off then back on and it works.. I get the same issue with GPS... on 2.3.6

[Q] I randomly lost service and I can't get it back.

I was on YouTube for a while, and I noticed I lost all bars and everything. I still have WiFi connections obviously, but I cannot get service back. I've reflashed my ROM, tried a different ROM, powered down my phone and took the sim card out and put it back in. I'm not not sure what to do.
EDIT: It seems like it's working now, but I have an average of one bar. Any help would still be appreciated. Thanks.

It was weird man, one night about 2 weeks ago here at work my signal wouldn't work at all, nothing I did changed it. I changed modems and roms nearly all night. Then an hour before my shift ended the service magically was restored. It was really strange. I'm not sure what to tell you on this, I did some research and looked around but found nothing on it

My girlfriend claimed she had the same issue that night as me. She is on straight talk though. Maybe a coincidence, I'm not sure. But my signal is weak now. 1 bar all the time. I haven't left the house yet so I'm not sure about anywhere else

Just a suggestion but try going somewhere else with the phone other than just your house
