[Q] EDGE symbol "E" not appearing and not connecting either

Hello.
I'm using student unlocked Samsung Omnia W with stock OS version (8107) and firmware.
I used to keep my 2g data always ON. Everything was fine till last night. All of the sudden this morning, I couldn't able to connect and "E" symbol is not coming up. I tried rebooting the phone several times and turned OFF n ON the data connection. But nothing helped.
I checked the network signal strength. Everything is perfect and my data plan is active too. WiFi is working fine as usual.
Please someone help. IS there anyone else faced this issue earlier??
maybe something to the operator? no coverage of 3g or Edge in a specific area?!
yes. It seems to be a network issue. Everything came back to normal now.

nexus 5 signal issue

Hi Guys,
I have a 16gb Nexus5, with stock 4.4.4
Have a strange issue of signal getting lost during the call.
After every 5-7 mins the calls get dropped as signal level goes down to zero.
Is there any work around for this? Anyone else facing this issue?
PS : using the device in India, with Vodafone network.

Stock Nexus 5 on Wind Dropping network connection

Hello All!
I have a stock nexus 5 that constantly drops network. It happens downtown Vancouver and i noticed it as i moved here about a month ago.
I live 3 blocks away from a wind tower. Calling wind support did not help. I was told to do a reset and register wind as my home network. Also performed
a factory reset and they even issued me a new sim card and it still happens. I would be walking down the street and completely loosing all signal. Not a weak signal but a complete loss. I am absolutely puzzled. It happens once or twice a day and can last up to 15 minutes until i have a signal again. I noticed that wind no longer carries nexus 5. Should i be worried. After speaking to some people they think it could be a combination of Android 4.4.4 and poor wind signal that is causing this and that there probably wont be any difference until new Android version. Has anyone here experienced anything similar? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I would borrow a SIM card from someone on a different network and see if it's able to hold a connection. If so, then there's an issue with Wind's network and your phone. Otherwise if the issue persists on a different network then it's a hardware issue.
It's a long shot but are you using a case on the phone? For what it's worth my stock N5 on Wind in T.O has no issues.

I would try this app and see if it is just when your downtown or if it happening every where, could be the network or it could be the phone, this will track signal strength and everything should give you a good idea of at least what your phone sees going on.

[Q] Phone process tops when no gsm signal is present

Hi all,
I just returned from a short holiday in the woods where there was no gsm reception. In these 4 days the phone process stops after about 5 minutes. Sometimes it's even less. In this case, I got a message "phone.process.stopped" and the screen for entering de SIM code is shown. When I had a WiFi connection this problem also occurred, so only when there is no gsm signal.
Is there a fix for this problem?
Regards,
Mischa

[Q] Nexus 5 dropping signal randomly, reboot required to fix

My phone is dropping cellular signal without warning. Cycling airplane mode or cellular network mode does not fix it. Only rebooting the phone has succeeded in getting signal back. This problem started last night. Since then, I have experienced it three times.
Further info:
I've had the phone for a little over a year. I did a factory reset when I installed L. I am running stock.
Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?

Mine does it all the time on lollipop. I moved to a different state a few months back, where I was living in florida I didnt have the issue but when I moved across the country it started for me. I went to att after troubleshooting all I could and they informed me that they dont have a reliable lte network here...it exists but its weak and slow. So I set my cellular preference setting to 3g and since then it rarely disconnects or drops signal. When I go to an area that lte is good I switch it to lte and it holds fine till I get back home.
