[Q] Streak7's bug???

[jiwengang]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do any other Streak 7 owners have this problem also?

To reproduce the problem:

Run from an area with good signal coverage (home/office)
into Subway (NYC Subway) where you find no signal.

Inside the subway, when you turn on the screen (as many people will do to kill time), the data connection will of course, finds no signal.

Then when you come out of subway again, in an open area where signals are all good, Streak 7 cannot establish a proper data connection while showing perfect full bar signal strength..
Only restart can restore the data connection. Turning on/off airplane mode wont help....

Is it just my configuration or a bug in streak 7?

I go from the street level to the red line subway in chicago but i lose 3g and hop onto 2g. I lose signal a few times until i get back in the elevated tracks and gain 3g. Not sure if it helps you but i don't have a problem with data connection in that situation. Granted, data is mostly worthless when the train is moving between stations.

Thanks so much!

I am continuing monitoring what combination will create problem.

Believe or not I have observed 3 times such issues witin the past 7 days... Hopefully they were only due to some apps, not the system defects.

Right at the moment when I decided to keep and love this streak 7, this bug came to life again...

Today I used the streak 7 in NYC subway, and the signal bar, of course, displayed "4 grey bars with a red cross" which means no signal.

And when I get back home, it STILL DISPLAY THE SAME THING. that is after coming out of subway for 10 mins +.

Then I switched on airplane mode and switch off again, the signal bar display is
full signal, but without the 3G/4G sign , and I tried apps, all reporting no data connection.

Only solution is to restart it.

Can I figure it somewhere in kernel or software apps?

If not, I may really need to return it with 15 days of purchase =(

Similar situation happened today. My Streak showed 4g signal with full bars, tried to open a app it told me i had no internet connection. Once i closed the app the 4g signal flashed then everything was up and running.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I have had a similar issue with my Droid Incredible. If it fails to get a data signal while attempting a background sync, it will actually restart. My solution has been to put the DInc in airplane mode before I enter the subway, and then remove airplane mode when I leave. Not real a big issue, since it takes about 2 seconds to go into airplane mode (& out of it).

Thanks!

This problem barely happens to me now.

I just want to make sure it is not a hardware problem. As long as there is a "soft" solution to it, I am fine. =)
