Hello from Bulgaria.Some one have had a problem with 4g network.Samsung S7 when he was lte \ 3g \ 2g after 30-40 minutes , scope disappears and receives a missed call notification.The problem gone after restart the device and after 30-40 minutes is same situation.If a phone is an 3g\2g no problems.
Sorry for my bad english.
Same here
My cousin bought an S7 Edge, but it had the same problems as listed. She then proceeded to change the phone, yet the other S7 Edge had the same problem. What could be the solution to this problem, and what caused it?
I change 3 phone 2 black and now give to me gold,for now i don't have a problem with the gold piece. Everything work fine.

We changed two gold ones, awaiting for the third. Problem seems to be persistent.
Hi!
Go to settings and find your APN-settings. Remove IPv6 and save it. Then everything should work fine.
I'm having the same problem. I'm sitting beside my friend with his ip6s+ and he's not having trouble connecting with the lte. just saying that this might not be just a network problem.
I've read about multiple people, including me having this issue, for some the APN IPv4 switch seems to work, but not for everyone. So what is this? Is it related to the phone hardware or software? Or is it a network problem? And will it be fixed? As this is starting to irritate me a bit..
Many People in my country (indonesia) is having similar problem. The signal somehow stuck in 3g. Forcing it to use LTE only using the app "4G LTE Switch) makes the signal gone, emergency only mode. Only a reboot would bring 4g back.
However it only acts up when using one specific mobile provider (telkomsel). Switching to my second sim, also by the same provider, didnt help. But if I switched to another provider, the problem doesnt happen.
Widespread issue in Germany as well. It's carrier independent. Had to exchange one unit. The new S7 Edge I got works fine so far, but has a pink hue on the display. Samsung QA! -.-
Any solutions or updates?
Solved?!
Hi,
I had the same problem in bulgaria with telenor.
Yesterday i got an update on my s7 edge to XXU1APCH and it seems to solve it.
This night it stayed connected. Normally i had the no service available in the morning.
Anybody else see the same?

Downloaded bulgarian firmware,, XXU1APC8 is the only one available. Tried to check for update, nothing yet to xxu1apch...
Update:
Emailed Indonesian Samsung Support, they came up with a temporary solution:
go to phone, dial *#9900#
select debug level disable/low
change to mid
wait for phone to reboot.
2 hours past no signal lost yet
update: 3rd hour signal gone again
hi,
has anyone found a solution for the problem above?
in my case I have really slow internet (mobile data) on 2,3 or 4G, it's like it freezes when I try to open a page
when I connect to 4G it maybe works for a second and then nothing else, it's like 2G, very slow (wifi works normal)
can it be hardware problem? I already cleared cache and reset the phone, but it's still the same..
At me the phone can not change back to 2G from LTE, if 3G network is unavailable.
If I use LTE/3G/2G option and somewhere is not 3G network I can't receive or make voice calls.
Phone only works with 3G/2G option in network mode.
But in this case I only can use edge if somewhere only 2G and 4G networks are available.
If I use LTE network, the phone doesn't receive incoming calls.
I bought my samsung s7 gold one month ago in Lebanon (Middle East). I faced exactly the same problem, I couldn't receive any phone calls. Went to the store and they told me to switch from LTE/4G to 3G. Now my phone is always on 3G and working ok so far. But I can't put it on 4G !!!
get new simcard will fixed problem
Hi, is there a solution to this?
got info that there is a patching from samsung for this issue but since i am using custom rom, i cannot confirm this.
anyone has any update?
Same problem! I'm from Mexico and i just bought my pink s7 Edge on sunday, i've been going everyday to the carrier store and yesterday they finally gave me another one but im having the same issue! I can't take it anymore i don't know what should I do Maybe all the pink ones have the same problem? They have already changed my SIM Card, i have tried with another one and it still happens
This sounds very similar to the LTE problem on the Nexus 6P I wonder if it is actually the same problem.

When I'm on data, my phone is stuck on EDGE or GPRS when it should go up to 3G or H+. I've tried restarting my phone, turning wifi on and off, turning data on and off and made sure my settings looked okay. Any help is appreciated!
Cataclysm 11/26, Franco r14, dalvik patch. And if it's relevant, I'm on Rogers wireless.
I'm not sure but doesn't Rogers use global frequency in which case you need the 821 model?
I've definitely had 3G and H+ on my N5 (abbreviations much?), but it just seems very inconsistent. It'll go from H+ to 3G, back to H+, then cut out completely, then sit on E or G for a while. Just trying to pinpoint the issue because it's getting annoying haha. Perhaps it's the frequency that's screwing it up but that's definitely not my area of expertise. I do have the D820 model if that's helpful.
I'm having exactly the same problem with Fido right now, I tried pretty much everything including
- flashing back the factory image
- tried every modems from the xda thread in the Nexus 5 Android Development section (currently my phone is on the D821 modem but it didn't change anything)
- changing my apn (but it was obvious that this was not the problem since the phone had a edge connection.
I'm really about to call Fido...
Still, I'm kinda glad to see that i'm not alone.
maybe that the data service in your personal area?
Well going back and forth between 3G and H is normal. It picks up H/H+ when receiving/transmitting and goes to 3G when idle to save power.

I called Fido, the technical support told me that they had something that was blocking me from 3G (but he didn't tell me what it was, he just told me that something was blocking me...) I had my beloved H+ back for maybe a whole minute and then it just switched back to Edge network.
All I wanted to know was if many customers have reported the problem or if I were alone...
Maybe if I'm lucky my phone will get back its 3G soon just like you.
I'm still having the issue today.
I called back Fido and they tried different things like desactiving/activing back my line, "updating my line" and more without any success.
Then I called google and told them the problem. They will change my Nexus 5 for a brand new but at the same time I feel like it is a software issue and not an hardward one... Well, we'll see, I never had a problem like that with any other phone before and the Nexus 5 never had any problem with 3G before yesterday.
I haven't tried everything yet, maybe you could try :
If you are in a LTE area, can the Nexus 5 connect itself to this network? Nearest LTE area from where I live is like 40 minutes away, bit too far just for a test.
Try with a sim card from another company like Telus or Bell, is the phone connecting to the 3G network? (I though about this while calling Google..)
Well, hope that the next phone will be ok.
Here are the few pictures just to show you a proof that even when I request a webpage, the phone will stays on 2g only.

Thanks for the update mark1s. Definitely let me know if a new phone fixes anything, although I'm also thinking it's a software problem.
The problem could just be that there happens to be patches of low coverage in the areas we're testing this out, which seems unlikely in big cities. But testing at work seems to have this problem, but testing this at home I pick up 3G and H+ just fine. Odd..
Hi all,
I've had this great phone MT7-L09 (softare version L09V100R001C00B127) since last December. My problem is that every now and then the 4g cuts off for a period of ten seconds.
It does not matter how strong the signal is nor which or whatever app I'm using. It just loses network. First thing I did was to change the old sim card to a new one. Did not help.
I was in contact with the Huawei support and conclusion was to send phone to service. OK. It came back with the same problem altough they changed the circuit board...so obviously they though that this would solve the problem. I did not. After messing around with it, trying to find if someone else was suffering with the same problem, with no luck, I send it back to service. Now they said that there is nothing wrong with it, but the problem is still there.
I havent noticed anything cut offs using 3g. It's not a major thing but it would be nice to know if its a firmware or any other software related problem.
If I use Netflix or similar where the data keeps coming it works just fine or if I use the phone as Wi-Fi hotspot, no problems.
It just loses network connection using apps like play store, facebook, whatsapp, twitter, every browser ie. firefox, build in browser, chrome, to name a few.
Should I just keep using it as it is or keep sending it back to service until they fix this issue???
Thanks

Sorry...one stupid question: have you already tried keeping the phone completely stock (without any application and/or software or any kin dof personalisation) for a couple of week and see if the problem still exists?
It really seems to me a software problem. Very strange.
I had the same problem with my MT7-TL10 golden version. For a week or so, the network used to come and go. Then ultimately the sim was not recognized at all. I sent it to Huawei service center and they told me that the sim slot is broken and I had to pay for replacement of the board which I refused. I was sure that I didn't break it. Now I am using my phone with one sim only.

I haven't used it only with stock apps for a week maybe a day, but first thing when it came back from service for the first time, I did not install any apps and it still lost the connection anyway...

I'm not sure, but isn't the sim card slot located on the circuit board??? If it is, it cannot be the problem, but I must try the second slot anyhow.

To fix this problem is to go to networks and u have to restore your apn to default it like refreshes then you can either just turn off data and then on and restart phone

Does not work, same problem after a numerous resettings. If I may add, I've have couple of other phones of which this problem does not occur.
In same place and conditions these phones work just fine not losing the data connection. Sure, if 4g is not available they use 3g, but never ever will the connection break off.

faulty 4G module tuner.. phone ... replacement needed...
change preferred network
Go to settings and -->mobile networks-->>preferred network and select "WCDMA only"..
It will fix your problem..
There is no such option in my phone settings, only the option to choose automatic 4g3g2g or automatic 3g2g or 2g, 3g only and 2g only. As previously stated no data loss nor connectivity issues using 3g. It's bit annoying sometimes when phone loses data connection altogether although signal is very strong. Just waiting lollipop upgrade if it'd solve the problem, I doubt it but...
network operator..
I think it's network problem..please contact your network operator..4g network have connection problem from some local area signal towers..so you just put other network company SIM card in your local area..(use 4g supported SIM only)
Thanks for your advice, but I don't think that it's SIM card problem because there is no problem what so ever using my other phone SGS5.

Hmmm. Sorry friend..I am helpless.. anyway continue your thread here..in Xda have brilliant members..they can help you..best of luck.
Thanks, I totally missed your comment...this is turning out to be quite a puzzle. I've noticed the less battery (<60%) I've have on the phone there seems to be nothing wrong with the 4g connection. ???
To answer to myself, I was too optimistic...nothing to do with battery. It's just so weird that phone works like a charm most of time and then suddenly not. I'm confused...
Now on the newest firmware lollipop 5.1 it fixed my lte problem
same issue
I bought mate 7 a couple of days ago and I keep losing the data connection. the network gets connected and lost again.
i did everything to fix it but no luck. changed sim, restored device, modified APN and no luck.
it keeps disconnecting seems that it is a problem with the phone itself as i have read the same issue on a couple of forums..
hope it is a software issue and get fixed soon as this is annoying.
In service they replaced my phone to a new one mostly because of this problem and I can say it did not help at all. Only upgrading to lollipop will fix the problem ( tested on beta) I'm on b145 now and it does that all the time. I guess it is carrier based problem not SIM nor hardware.
Hey I have had my one plus one for a little under a year and after a 2 week road trip it has stopped being able to connect and detect the Wind home network. During this road trip I was on airplane mode for the full duration of the 2 weeks with the 05Q caulkin rom installed. Once I had reached my home town of ontario I had noticed that I could only connect to wind away on my opo. When scanning manually for the WIND home network it would appear with the simcard symbol beside it but when trying to connect it would state that it was unable to connect to the network. Although randomly throughout the day it would connect without warning until I rebooted my device where it would lose connection again. I then later updated my phone to the latest OTA which is cm12.1 hoping that the problem would be fixed but to no avail. At first it was the same issue where it would show the WIND network with the sim card symbol beside it but now I am not even able to see the WIND home network and can only able to see the Wind away network. I have tried changing my APNs and have tested my sim card on my sisters opo where it works perfectly fine. I have also done a factory reset and nothing has been able to fix the issue. I would like to fix this issue and anything would be of help.

Have found found a solution yet? I have the same problem. Sim card works perfect on OnePlus X, Nexus 4, but not on OnePlus One. I get connected to Wind Away, and I've tried just about every fix including entering in everything manually.
did anyone figure out a solution? im having this problem right now
Wow... sounds like I wrote this thread - aside from minor details this is EXACTLY the problem I am having. My vacation was also two weeks and the randomly connect during daytime but loses connection once restarts sound all too familiar. After Wind store clerk did sim swap, new error msg appears and said "your sim card does not allow connection to this network", so the problem actually got worse. Eventually I had to switch carrier (to Koodo and it works).
No, I have not fixed it yet.
But I'm contemplating to try manual selection of radio band (in the *#*#4636#*#* menu), because mine is showing EURO BAND and USA BANDas choices. Tho haven't made up my mind yet because that might do much more damage than good, based on some Google research so far... frustrating.
When I'm engaged in an SMS conversation using the built-in Messenger app, my mobile network keeps dropping. When I try to send a text, it says that I need to insert a SIM card, and the connection bars show I have no connection. If I wait a few seconds, my network connection re-establishes and I can send texts. Interestingly, when it says I have no connection and I can't send texts, I can still receive them.
I've only noticed this happening when I'm texting.
Does this sound like a faulty SIM card, or could it be an issue with my phone? I'm with Bell in Canada on a 32 GB Pixel.
EDIT: I just noticed that this will sometimes happen if I've had my phone in my pocket for a while. I'll pull it out and the network connection will be dropped when the screen comes on, only to reconnect after a few seconds.
Are you in Toronto by any chance? On Telus? I've been having the same issue since late last week. Only happens in Toronto. On my commute to Burlington, everything is fine as soon as I get passed Etobicoke.
The issue for me is mostly on LTE+. That's causing the biggest headache. 3G and LTE seem to be fine. And again, only in Toronto. Outside the city everything (LTE+, LTE and 3G) all work fine.
The only workaround I have while Telus is looking in to it is to use 3G while I'm at home on the Danforth.

So it sounds like the same issue. Telus and Bell share towers, so that makes sense. And you're having issues in the city but not in the 'burbs. The same issue I'm having.

Well, at least it's probably not a defect with the phone!
Just received an OTA update (NDE63V) that, supposedly, has an updated cell radio. I'll know in a few hours if this has any effect with my issue... As usual, phone is working fine right now in Hamilton.

Here's hoping they come out with a fix soon! I'm just glad it's not a defect and something that can be fixed.
I used the support feature on the google pixel phone today and a rep from google called me after requesting a callback. The chat feature was greyed out on my phone. When I brought up the issue of network randomly dropping throughout the day, the rep said this was the first time they've heard of the issue. After going over the issue of my network connection randomly dropping and reconnecting, sometimes accompanied with the triangle icon saying there is no sim card inserted in the phone, the rep called my service provider and left me with them to resolve the issue instead. They said it had to be something with the service provider and not the phone. I'm with Koodo Mobile which is a subsidiary of Telus. The Koodo rep did some testing and had me add a new APN to see if that would stabilize the connection but that didn't do anything. They said it's more likely an issue with the phone because it's connecting to the network but not sustaining the connection.
I've tried swapping out a new sim card hoping it was a faulty sim and that didn't fix it either. A factory reset also didn't do anything. I've confirm the sim and network wasn't an issue when I inserted my sim into my friend's iPhone 6s. There was no connection drop within the 15min sample size. I then used my friend's sim card on my google pixel, he's on Bell's network and the connection did drop within 10mins. We contacted a friend who works with Bell's networking service and he said this was the first time he's heard of this issue and there's been no report on his end of this. He doesn't work at the customer service level so he doesn't know if any pixel connection issues are being reported and brought up to a higher level. I should mention I'm in Toronto so there's no lack of cell towers around for a bad connection.
I'm going to see if I can borrow a Rogers sim card this week for some more testing to see if it's only dropping on the Bell/Telus network as others are reporting. Right now it's very frustrating, I don't know if it's a hardware issue or software issue.
I know it doesn't fix the problem but have you tried to drop to 3g until they fix the towers there? Should at least be less frustrating if it's specific to LTE.

Here's hoping they come out with a fix soon! I'm just glad it's not a defect and something that can be fixed.

That's only what a Google rep said. Hopefully it's not a defect that can be fixed via an update.
The latest update seems to have fixed the problem!
I'm on Virgin, also in Toronto, same symptoms. No change with latest update either
I have two Sprint Galaxy S8s that I purchased from Sam's Club. I have the same issue with both of them. Please respond if you are having this issue, or not and if you have found a fix. Apparently it is an issue on multiple Samsung devices with Sprint.
I continuously get a pop-up error that states:
Unable to establish a wireless data connection
LTE: ESM - 38 EMM - x
In the notification panel it shows:
RilNotifier
Mobile data connection error
I have spent hours on the phone with Sprint and they have not been able to permanently fix it. The last person talked to told me to take it to a store and they could fix it. Well, we all know how that goes....
There is 1 temporary fix. If I put in the Dialer code: ##72786# and let it do its thing, it will have no issues until the next time the phone is restarted.
I have update the PRL and profile numerous times. I have installed the latest system updates, factory reset. Nothing permanently fixes it thus far.

I was having/have this issue as well, but seems to only happen when I have been on Wifi Calling and loose Wifi connection.

It happens to me regardless of the Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi calling situation.

I have this issue and it only happens when I have location toggled on.
I've redone profile etc, but as soon as location is turned on it re-appears.
this happens to me occasionally as well. Not sure what is causing it. I normally toggle the "Mobile Data" on and off to get rid of it. It is at random times and not that often but it is annoying for sure
I noticed this today also. I toggled airplane mode but it keeps coming back...
I also have an S8 from Sam's with this same issue, as well as 2 G6's that i purchased from Sprint's web site that constantly drop data connection. Tried all kinds of settings changes, including changing bands, carrier aggregation, reset network, sim pull, etc and currently have a ticket open with the "network team". I have an S6 on the account also that has been upgraded to Android 7. It has no issues at all. Also, the issues seem to only happen in LTE only areas, I have been to an LTE-Plus area twice and the phone maintained a constant connection. That makes me think this is related to HPUE. BTW, the G6 will stay connected for 10 seconds on lte, then lose all data connection for 15 seconds, then repeat. I have watched and timed this behavior with a stop watch for close to 30 minutes, while moving and standing still.

Are you in an LTE-Plus area?

Dial ##scrtn# I'm on my second s8 plus both have same issue
The only way I've found that keeps the error from happening for me is to turn off location. Since then I haven't seen the error pop up.

Sucks it's just a temp fix I noticed after I use WiFi at home then goto service area I med to dial it every time on this over priced p.o.s. my s7 edge iPhone 6 plus and 5 other phones have zero issue just my s8 plus. They thought it was a defected antenna which I figured it wasn't, I tried dialing ##omadm# and changing to sprint development mode which phone wouldn't activate only in production mode would it work, also seems to only be the phone I got thru mail without a set msl this one is 000000 my other galaxies have sprint set msl

I am not sure how to tell if an area has LTE Plus, but I live in SW Virginia and went 3 hours away for a couple days to Richmond and had no issues. So, it's definitely the network in certain areas.

I am also in SW VA, and after speaking to a few stores, one mentioned that it has something to do with the nTelos merger. I have to use 3G from Roanoke to Danville on a daily basis. even though it is fairly solid LTE coverage.
If you look at Sprint's coverage map, LTE Plus is a darker color. Richmond and Norfolk/Hampton Roads area are Plus.

I have assumed it was something to do with nTelos. I live in Roanoke and work in Christiansburg. The issue is in both places. Follow my instructions in my OP with the dialer code and your LTE will work fine, just have to do it anytime you restart your phone. No need to suffer on 3G.

I doubt it has anything to do with nTelos. I live in Michigan and I get the same issue with my s8 plus and whatever nTelos is, we don't have it.

nTelos was a regional carrier in VA, WV, NC, OH, MD. They were purchased by another local company, Shentel, that operates under Sprint. They are not an MVNO though, they sell Sprint branded phones and service. And all the stores changed to Sprint branding. It could be a different regional carrier from your area, This merger happened a over a year ago and that is when we started getting LTE service. I think the merged network is not capable of dealing with HPUE. That is the common denominator with the G6 and S8.
Galaxy S8 plus and S8 same error
So if I understand all these comments correctly, there is still no resolution to this? I live in Huntington Wv and yes we did have nTelos. I have 2 S8+ and 1 S8 all get this error. I have a ticket in for the network team but I'm not holding my breath.
I am also having this issue. I've done ##72786# that seemed to fix it, but it's back. I change to CDME/LTE from automatic, and it still happens. I was about to do a factory reset. It's my only complaint with this device, otherwise I love it. I am in southwest PA. It seems to happen during cell tower hand offs like if I'm out driving. I just toggled data and the error went away.
Edit: I'm on the S8 Plus but I don't think that makes a difference.

On my phone it starts doing it again after doing the dialer code only once I restart the phone. Is this your problem?
