Possible solution for Data Connect Issues

I have been going through a number of test to identify the data dropping issues that a number of users have reported and I think I have identifed one possible solution that seems to be working for me, I have ran my device for almost a week like this and I havent had any buffing or connection lost issues and I figure this may be something worth sharing..

Goto Settings / Wireless Networks / Mobile Networks / System Select and change it from auto to Home Only and reboot. this seem to help a lot and I havent notice any issues, but keep in mind if you travel a lot you may have to switch to Auto tp get reception in some areas.

This was just a test and cant say it will work for everyone but it may be worth a try....

so it only works on your home wireless?

Wildman

The data connections seems more stable when its not scanning other networks for signal. It may work on other towers if they are part of the home network partner group but I haven't traveled in the last week to test this.

bearone21

is this for wi-fi or 3g?

Wildman

This is for the 3g network and I do not think it will effect wifi and since I never had wifi issues it would be hard for me to test that connection. Sorry...

Wildman do think this would work in a 50 to 100 mile radious area like to wichita , to Newton to Mcpherson. if we take a tootle.

thru the week though i'm home so it would'nt be a biggie. some thing els i notice wildman when i'm using the Network an

streaming like Scanner Radio Pro when Birtha is pluged in to the charger it streams flawlissly with a minor hick-up once an

while but if she is off the charger she Buffers like going thru a wind storm or stops all together an she does'nt to bad when were

out tootaling around. around town. or over by McPherson , Newton , Wichita. But one thing wildman i dont thank they.ve got the towers

totally switch over yet the reason why not to long ago i was on the phone with a T 3 Teck an ask if the Call Center were still staffed by

Verizon an Alltel Tecks an he said yes they were but it was going to changed Very Soon an then Alltel would be gone for Good i told

him i was surprized it was still around at all an he said yea there are a few little pocket places but when when all the alltel tecks

finish there Teck Traning an a few loose end's between Verizon an alltell an Alltel an At&t were done the alltel name will Vanish. For

Good.

This has also been reported as a fix by another user in addition to turning off data roaming.

Can't say because I am going back to work before my boss comes through... Got to have this system back up by 9am and just started batching, I would say I probably wont be on much.
