Mobile Data Stops Working - Requires Reboot

[biglilsteve]

For the AT&T G3

Is anyone having an issue where their G3's mobile data will randomly stop functioning?

I am still able to make calls, but no applications requiring data will sync or update. There is even still the "4G LTE" icon in the notification bar. The only way to solve this problem is to reboot the phone...then everything functions normally again.

This happens to me at least once or twice daily.

I really hope I am not the only crazy one having this issue...

has happened to me and I posted in another thread...

Oh I did a search and didn't find any other information on it. Did you have any luck in the other thread?

I've had this happen twice on my G3. It used to happen occasionally on my iPhone 5.

On the g3 I toggled the "data enabled" quick setting to off for a second and then back on. Fixed the issue for me.

Not saying there isn't an issue here. This is just a quick fix.

happened a 3rd time today. toggling data didn't do anything. required 2 reboots to fix. i was walking in nyc.

Yup, this is identical to my issue. Sometimes it fixes itself after a reboot, other times it requires more. It's definitely not AT&T's service...my S3 in the same coverage area did not have this issue.

I picked mine up this morning and I haven't experienced that particular problem. Factory Reset?
I think I even got VOLTE in my area.

I never noticed the issue the first day. Give it couple days and see how things go for you.

i've been manhandling the phone all day. no dropped data or calls at all besides the usual dead zones. I'm in Northern NJ so service is pretty solid up here.

same

I'm in singapore - had same issue. No 3G/4G data. Calls ok, wifi ok. A reboot fixes the issue.

Not On G3, But Previous Phones

I had this happen occasionally on a Droid RAZR., Always assumed it was something between the phone and the network. It only happened every couple months and a reboot always fixed the issue. Haven't had it happen on the G3. Live near Washington DC. Pretty good coverage.

This is seen on the T-Mobile D851 variant as well.

One way that fixes the data issue is to enable Airplane Mode and then disable it (immediate enable and then disable does it, no wait time for a reset). Fixes the loss of the data connection with no reboot required.

You can try that and see if works as well.

Fast Dormancy?

I wonder whether disabling fast dormancy would resolve the issue? If your mobile data provider does not implement fast dormancy then it needs to be disabled on the phone.

I get the fast dormancy option via the hidden menu (3845#*855# on my D855, replace with your model number), then Settings, then Fast Dormancy. Needs a reboot to apply.

You will need to Google if your mobile provider supports fast dormancy.

Worth a try.
