AT&T network loss issue

[ismisunderstood]

All;

Have sort of a strange problem; hoping someone can help me sort it out.

Every once and a while (I can't find a set time or schedule or trick to make this work), my 3g / Edge connection dies on me. I still have phone service; still receive texts; just have no access to the internet.

Checking running processes doesn't seem to help, I never see anything taking control. Only way I seem to be able to fix it is a soft reset.

May or may not be related; but I'm also having an issue where if I use the "mute" function in my call status screen, I have to soft reset to use my phone (unless the other party disconnects the call, which releases me...). Really frustrating.

Ideas? Suggestions? Running custom kitchen from ppc; not afraid to re-flash if that'd help!

I have found that a certain area (most likely served by one or two towers) that I am in every day causes similar issues. I still have a 3G (HSDPA) connection, but cannot transfer any data. My phone will not fall back to Edge to maintain the data connection, possibly because it still thinks it has a data connection (based on icon status).

I have tried several radios, and the situation is the same. I only have this problem in one specific geographic area, which is why I think it is network related, and not my device.

A quick work around that I have been using is to simply disable 3G (using the comm manager) before I enter the problem area, and re-enable it when I leave the area. The boundaries of the area are very constant. Sometimes, I need to turn the entire radio off (using the comm manager) and back on to fully regain 3G (HSDPA) speeds.

You might want to give the comm manager a try - it is usually much quicker than soft resetting.

You don't happen to live (or travel through) Plymouth, MI, do you?

My phone does this also, what i do is usually just set my phone to flight mode, then back after about 20 sec or so...it works for me...good luck
