Data connection does not resume after losing signal - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I take smoke breaks several times a day and my phone always loses signal in the elevator. This has never been an issue but this week my phone has decided to not resume the data connection when I get back to my desk. It shows it has an LTE connection, I can make calls and send texts but no data. Toggling airplane does not fix it either, I am forced to reboot my phone to get data again. I really don't want to be rebooting my phone 5-6 times a day.
Any ideas for fixes before I go the hard reset route?
Is Titanium backup the best way to go still before doing the hard reset? I however have not rooted this device, so don't think that is even an option right?
Thanks!

At&t Fuze Losing Data Connection

Well I just got my At&t Fuze like 3-4 days ago. For some reason it randomly loses connection to the network, so I can make call or use the internet. I'll have to go back to setting- communication to turn off my phone turn it back on then turn on the data connection. I'm really tiring of it happening over and over again. Does anyone else have this problem? And are there any ways to fix it? Thanks
No one has any idea??
Are you still running the stock ROM? If so, GET RID OF IT!!!!
In all seriousness: Have you installed any applications? Have you modified TouchFLO 3D? You can always try a hard reset and see if the problem persists.
It's possibly a problem with AT&T's network. I've noticed that my 3G speeds are incredibly slow lately and others on hofo have had this issue as well. I would advise you to wait it out.
forp me it says i get 3g,edge, or G and i will cant connect sometimes.
I also have this issue. Sometimes it happens after a soft reset or for no reason at all. It is easy to fix as i just turn data back on but I don't know why it is happening.
I actually tried a hard reset reset and it didn't work so then I brought it back to At&t and the guy there fixed it for me. He said it was because the data connection was off so then I thought maybe I accidentally turned it off, but the problem persist after.
Yes, I am still running under stock rom, I installed google map, beejive, and some other that I don't think will cause this problem. I am afraid to flash because I already have a lot of contact info set in and data and would have to re-do everything.
I was hoping maybe someone would have a solution for this. I don't think running on stock rom would cause this.....
Any help would be great. Thanks
I just flash it to NATF's rom and it's working really well right now. I hope the problem will not appear again. Again thanks for the rom NATF
I now get it often that there is a problem with the GPRS in your area. Also there are times that the phone is not even connected. It is getting to be a pain but will try calling AT&T and find out
Even after installing a new rom the problem still continue. I tried going into an At&t store and ask, but they have no clue. I don't have time to call 611 right now, but will update with what they say when I do. It starts to get really annoying....

It's probably a network issue.
Regarding flashing, I suggest you back up your contacts with outlook. Even if the problem has nothing to do with software, you're missing out quite a bit in terms of speed. Besides, you should back up your contacts regardless. Don't trust windows mobile too much
OK, sounds like I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. I think the only thing that's different for me is that when I lose the data connection, I also lose voice. The first time it happened, it said my SIM was unprovisioned. When I called customer service, they didn't know beyond checking for network outages in my area.
Fuze_tactic & Tribalmunky
I thing both of your problems -- intermittently dropping the data connection for Fuze_tactic, and intermittently dropping the voice and data connection for Tribalmunky -- could be caused by the Long Press End button setting. Go to Start/Settings/System/LongPressEndKey to see what I'm talking about. There is one setting for Airplane mode, which would kill voice and data, and another for killing just the data connection. Try changing the long end key press to Set Vibrate/Ringer and see if that cures your issue(s). If you are occasionally long pressing the end key, your should develop a problem with intermittently losing your ringer.

No, I've checked that. It happened once when it was just charging, no where near my hands or anything that could have pressed it. When it happens I can't make calls or reestablish data connections until I either go in the connections manager or soft reset.

Like tribalmunky said we were no where near the phone when it happens, but I follow your instruction and changed the long pressed key. I'll see if anything occurs. Thanks for the input tho.
Update:
I called At&t and from what tech support told is, their network is having problems, especially for users in Cali. They are in progress of fixing it, but no idea how long it is going to take. I guess the only thing we can do now is wait.

I've been having problems with this too (losing data and phone) and I'm in Seattle. Maybe if I call, AT&T will claim there are problems with the entire west coast.
I did the whole SPL and ROM flashing thing (ROMeOS) and the problem still persists. I chatted online with an AT&T guy and he said it was a known issue but no way to fix it yet.
If you're worried about your contacts, don't be. Use PPCPimBackup (I think I got it either here or at freewarepocketpc.net) and it can copy all of your contacts onto the storage card. It's free and I've used it prior to flashing a new ROM.
However, flashing ROMs do not work. The only fix is simply going to your communications settings, turning off Data, then turning it right back on. This will also be why some of your MMS pictures don't get sent out.
I still love this phone, just get annoyed with it at times. Even the available larger battery with cover only makes my phone last about two days opposed to one.

I am in NJ and have the same problem. It started about the time I loaded some screen lock software that requires a finger swipe to unlock the touch screen (navigation buttons always active) upon coming out of sleep mode. I just decided to live with it, I like the software. I merely click the data connection in settings, connections, data connection (it may indicate off or on, doesn't matter, it is actually off) and then click it on and everything works again. Mostly happens after charging overnight.
I have stock fuze and it keeps happening to me too. But whenever I reset my phone, I can connect to the internet. I don't think it's network related in my case. not sure though.

[Q] Bizarre... data is totally gone, only voice/sms works

Hey everyone, first post here. Been a Droid Eris user with KaosFroyo/CM for a few months now, and everything has been awesome until a few days ago.
I lost all data connectivity.
2G, 3G, WiFi, same exact symptoms. Every app that uses data throws the error in its own specific manner, but always some variant of "No data connection" or "Network unavailable" or "Check your connection" etc. etc.
On the handshake level, everything seems normal. I can connect to WiFi networks and it does the usual "Obtaining IP Address..." --> "Connected." I get the WiFi logo in the notification bar. And I have the 3G logo unless I turn cell data off, and it's up/down arrows even flash a little right after I turn cell data on.
It broke almost a week ago, so you can be sure I've tried many WiFi networks and many cell towers and rebooted many times and taken the battery out... all the usual stuff. There is something seriously wrong. Help!
Thanks,
Mike
I'd try a master reset. If that doesn't change anything, call your service provider and see if the phone can be swapped for another under warranty. Did this with a Droid 1 a few months back with Verizon w/o any problems.
Good luck!
Edit: I just noticed you are running a mod on that phone. Have you run Fix Permissions? Sometimes that irons out bugs that appear. I'd get with the developers and see what they say. One thing you could try is to re-install that mod. Be sure to wipe all data when you do. It'll be like starting over; but, starting over with the mod installed.
Good luck!
Back up and wipe the phone and reinstall the rom
Master reset did the trick. Unfortunately I didn't have great backup tools, and I couldn't even install new ones due to lack of connectivity (and apk's not always available). Saved my sms history at least, by copying the database to sd and back, thanks to root.
Really appreciate the noob help culture. (must say, it's weird being one, as I'm generally proficient except that I joined the Android world by purchasing a pre-rooted/modded phone)

[Q] Question about Toggles

I've had some issues with the CM7 Toggles that came with NSCollab.
Last night, I tried switching from 2G to 3G. That worked, partly. I couldn't switch back to 3G after that, and I couldn't get any data to send. I tried switching it back on and off from the Toggles, but nothing. After rebooting, not only did 3G not come back on, but I kept getting an Error Message every 2 seconds having something to do with the android.phone not working. So then, I had to flash a backup and got the 3G working again.
Then, earlier today, I tried switching the Mobile Data and Data Sync off, but they also wouldn't come back on, even after rebooting, so I once again had to restore to a backup. I'm pretty new at this, so it could just be me being flat out stupid.
Are the toggles supposed to be this faulty, or is there a different way to turn them back on?
What exactly are Mobile Data and Data Sync?
Is it better to just leave 'em be, and turn just put it in Airplane Mode if needed?
That is a known issue with CM7, my advice would be to wipe data, reflash, then avoid the 2G/3G toggle. That's the only one with that issue so feel free to use the others.

[Q] Data Connection problem

I am having problem with my data connection on my Samsung Galaxy Tab2. I start using the internet connection with no problems then at one point i lose data connection all other serviced work well sms and calls. In order to get my data connection back i either have to restart phone or else go to flight mode and off flight mode again (flight mode thing sometimes works and sometimes doesn't).
Sometimes, it also says "No SIM Card". This complete issue typically happens when I have the 2G internet ON and the phone gets locked automatically. When I unlock it again, I see these issues.
So far, this issue happened only with 2G connection. Now, today, the No Sim Card message came up when I left the Wi-Fi button on and left the phone for a while. :crying:
I have tried selecting "GSM Only" in the network settings. I am using Vodafone IN (Andhra Pradesh, India) network. All other threads on google suggest flight mode and restart but I don't want to restart so many times in a day... This happens everytime and the frequency is increasing.
Is anyone experiencing a similar problem? Any solutions for these?
do one thing bro! backup all your data, contacts. do a factory reset of your device! all the things will work like butter! use titanium backup available on playstore!
:laugh::laugh:

WiFi appears to be stuck... Causing all manner of weird behavior.

So, I bought a cheap "4k action camera" to play around with. It has wifi, and I was working on getting it connected to my phone .
While doing so, the wifi on my phone sort of.. hung. I couldnt switch to my usual wifi network, it was just sit and spin, eventually wifi stopped showing my networks altogether. If i open ip the wifi settings, the indicator just spins, i cant turn off wifi, and no networks are listed. After doing so, I cant even shut down my phone without holding the power button for 10 seconds.
I'm just trying to get this cleared up, anyone have any suggestions? I have my phone connected via ADB, but it's stock, no mods, no root. I've considered a factory reset, but I'd like to avoid that if I can.
Thanks!
Well. After a few hours of fighting with this, I ended up unlocking (which of course wiped my phone). This way I'm free to root or flash in the future without that being a barrier again. The wipe, of course, resolved my problem.
I'm trying to decide if I want to jump straight to a custom ROM now or not, before I get too deep into getting my phone set back up. Any suggestions?
Thanks for reading!
