Data connection does not return after the phone get to the no reception area temporar

[konste]

I have 8525 with official ATT WM6 and noticed the following problem - after getting to the area with no reception (deep in the garage) when I return to the area with perfect reception my data connection never restores until I manually turn flight mode on and then off. If I forget to do that - my email is not pushed until the next reboot. I quickly realized that I can restore it by soft reset, but then I figured that cycling of the flight mode helps as well.

Can something be done about it?

I discussed that with ATT tech support and they basically say it is “by design”:

“Nigel_G: To konste
I have checked into this further for you what happens is when you go into a area with no service and come back the voice should reconnect automatically but the data service needs to refreshed to connect like power cycle, soft reset or turning flight mode on and off this forces the device and the network to reconnect the data services.”

Sounds weird to me. Anybody can comment?

Thank you!

It seems that we have the same problem.

I have noticed that the phone would report "Searching..." if it is currently searching for a signal. "No Service" means that the phone is in a no service area.

In my experience, after going into back into an area with known good signal, sometimes my phone displays "Searching..." but will never get a signal. I have to manually turn on and off flight mode. When "No Service" is displayed, the phone never ever tries to find a signal.

I have tried upgrading radio rom but it never helped.

I hope someone can shed a light into this matter.
