Connection issues

Having connectivity issues for the past couple days. When I try to access something on the internet, the bar at the top will stall, then after a minute or so, there will be an error message that the page cannot be accessed. I would just try again in a few minutes and things would be back to normal. This morning, however, there was no connection for several hours.

any ideas why this might be happening and what can be done to prevent this in the future?

I've done the usual fixes (off/on, toggle airplane mode, checked all the connection settings, etc.) to no avail. After the frustration this morning, I just put the phone on mt desk. Then after a few minutes I was bombarded with about 50 emails and other notifications...which were apparently stuck in cyberspace while the phone couldn't make a connection.

I was getting this error every so often -- my Up/Down arrows for 3G would just "stall" -- totally grayed out. Then like you, I would toggle Airplane mode .. and recover 99% of the time. I installed the "Speed test" APP from market that I run when I see this problem ... just in an attempt to isolate the problem -- whether it it a local Server or what.. It seems, from what has been posted, that this "loss of 3G" thing is being addressed in the pending fixes. Good luck.

Yep. That's what happens to my 3G arrows too. Usually they are grayed out. But this morning, the down arrow on the right was solid and the other was gray. neither one moved. Let me know how that speed y test asp works.

Check you settings for the Battery Profile... You may have the timeout set wrong for your common use habits. I had to use the Cutom option to get mine to work without issue.

I'm on performance mode. (with no significant battery drain either)

Try enabling your data roaming on the device. Follow the link below to enable the data roaming.

I have just came across a app that help when data connections seems to go dormant and a restart is the solution,

Download Restart Connection from http://www.appbrain.com/app/restart-connections/com.dazbradbury.restartConnections , it restores connection easily without reboot, just place icon on desktop and trigger to reboor connections.
