Well I just got my At&t Fuze like 3-4 days ago. For some reason it randomly loses connection to the network, so I can make call or use the internet. I'll have to go back to setting- communication to turn off my phone turn it back on then turn on the data connection. I'm really tiring of it happening over and over again. Does anyone else have this problem? And are there any ways to fix it? Thanks
No one has any idea??
Are you still running the stock ROM? If so, GET RID OF IT!!!!
In all seriousness: Have you installed any applications? Have you modified TouchFLO 3D? You can always try a hard reset and see if the problem persists.
It's possibly a problem with AT&T's network. I've noticed that my 3G speeds are incredibly slow lately and others on hofo have had this issue as well. I would advise you to wait it out.
forp me it says i get 3g,edge, or G and i will cant connect sometimes.
I also have this issue. Sometimes it happens after a soft reset or for no reason at all. It is easy to fix as i just turn data back on but I don't know why it is happening.
I actually tried a hard reset reset and it didn't work so then I brought it back to At&t and the guy there fixed it for me. He said it was because the data connection was off so then I thought maybe I accidentally turned it off, but the problem persist after.
Yes, I am still running under stock rom, I installed google map, beejive, and some other that I don't think will cause this problem. I am afraid to flash because I already have a lot of contact info set in and data and would have to re-do everything.
I was hoping maybe someone would have a solution for this. I don't think running on stock rom would cause this.....
Any help would be great. Thanks
I just flash it to NATF's rom and it's working really well right now. I hope the problem will not appear again. Again thanks for the rom NATF
I now get it often that there is a problem with the GPRS in your area. Also there are times that the phone is not even connected. It is getting to be a pain but will try calling AT&T and find out
Even after installing a new rom the problem still continue. I tried going into an At&t store and ask, but they have no clue. I don't have time to call 611 right now, but will update with what they say when I do. It starts to get really annoying....

It's probably a network issue.
Regarding flashing, I suggest you back up your contacts with outlook. Even if the problem has nothing to do with software, you're missing out quite a bit in terms of speed. Besides, you should back up your contacts regardless. Don't trust windows mobile too much
OK, sounds like I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. I think the only thing that's different for me is that when I lose the data connection, I also lose voice. The first time it happened, it said my SIM was unprovisioned. When I called customer service, they didn't know beyond checking for network outages in my area.
Fuze_tactic & Tribalmunky
I thing both of your problems -- intermittently dropping the data connection for Fuze_tactic, and intermittently dropping the voice and data connection for Tribalmunky -- could be caused by the Long Press End button setting. Go to Start/Settings/System/LongPressEndKey to see what I'm talking about. There is one setting for Airplane mode, which would kill voice and data, and another for killing just the data connection. Try changing the long end key press to Set Vibrate/Ringer and see if that cures your issue(s). If you are occasionally long pressing the end key, your should develop a problem with intermittently losing your ringer.

No, I've checked that. It happened once when it was just charging, no where near my hands or anything that could have pressed it. When it happens I can't make calls or reestablish data connections until I either go in the connections manager or soft reset.

Like tribalmunky said we were no where near the phone when it happens, but I follow your instruction and changed the long pressed key. I'll see if anything occurs. Thanks for the input tho.
Update:
I called At&t and from what tech support told is, their network is having problems, especially for users in Cali. They are in progress of fixing it, but no idea how long it is going to take. I guess the only thing we can do now is wait.

I've been having problems with this too (losing data and phone) and I'm in Seattle. Maybe if I call, AT&T will claim there are problems with the entire west coast.
I did the whole SPL and ROM flashing thing (ROMeOS) and the problem still persists. I chatted online with an AT&T guy and he said it was a known issue but no way to fix it yet.
If you're worried about your contacts, don't be. Use PPCPimBackup (I think I got it either here or at freewarepocketpc.net) and it can copy all of your contacts onto the storage card. It's free and I've used it prior to flashing a new ROM.
However, flashing ROMs do not work. The only fix is simply going to your communications settings, turning off Data, then turning it right back on. This will also be why some of your MMS pictures don't get sent out.
I still love this phone, just get annoyed with it at times. Even the available larger battery with cover only makes my phone last about two days opposed to one.
In NJ

I am in NJ and have the same problem. It started about the time I loaded some screen lock software that requires a finger swipe to unlock the touch screen (navigation buttons always active) upon coming out of sleep mode. I just decided to live with it, I like the software. I merely click the data connection in settings, connections, data connection (it may indicate off or on, doesn't matter, it is actually off) and then click it on and everything works again. Mostly happens after charging overnight.
I have stock fuze and it keeps happening to me too. But whenever I reset my phone, I can connect to the internet. I don't think it's network related in my case. not sure though.
It said connected in the wifi setting and it shows bars but it just won't load any website in the browser .. anyone got a fix for this?
I have the same issue. Tried different combinations of restarting wifi, turning on/off cell data, on/off wifi calling, etc... all with no result. I've also tried on different networks (both public and private)-- it'd start working for a while and then all of a sudden stop and never work again.
Seems similar to the problem here: forums. t-mobile.c om/t5/T-Mobile-G2x/G2x-WiFi-DNS-issue-not-the-4G-switching-one/m-p/831439 (sorry there's a new user no link restriction)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

is it specific to the browser or can you not move any data?
Idk, whenever I have had problems connecting to the tmo network, which is a separate issue.. it was always that wifi calling was still on even tho wifi was turned off. Every time I had probs w/ data on tmo network, it's been wifi calling.. Your case seems to be diff tho.
Is it specific to just your network or all other networks? Try shutting off wifi, reboot... then turn it on again? Idk.. just tossing out ideas.
Some found the root cause and I am posting his finding as I do have the same issue and can reproduce the error:
I think I have discovered a new WiFi-related bug in the G2x's software. I have witnessed this occurring on my phone, and have also reproduced it on a store demo unit. I believe it is unrelated to the switching-to-4G problem people are having with the My Account app, since it occurs even if I have set up the Google account on first boot after a factory reset.
The details of the problem are:
- Every so often, the phone randomly gets stuck in a state where it is not able to initiate any new connections that are made using a DNS name. Attempting to navigate to a web site, h**p://w*w.google.c*m for example, will result in a generic failure message.
- However, attempting to connect directly to an IP address instead of a DNS name works perfectly. For example, navigating to 74.125.225.16 will work fine and will load the Google home page.
- When the phone is in this state, using a DNS lookup tool such as "DNS Lookup" from the Marketplace *will* work, even when using the default DNS server address that the DHCP server is giving the phone.
- The problem has occurred for me when data is off and WiFi is on. I do not know if data being off is a requirement, since this is the way I usually run the phone, so this may be coincidental.
- Switching WiFi off and back on again will *sometimes* work to solve the problem, but sometimes will not. When this doesn't work, switching WiFi off, then switching data on, then back off again, and then finally switching WiFi back on again will occasionally correct the problem. However, I have seen situations where none of these things worked, and the only way to get DNS working again was to factory reset the phone.
- I haven't figured out the exact pattern yet, but this issue seems to occur when the phone has been inactive for a certain period of time. I have often discovered that the phone is in this state upon waking up in the morning after leaving the phone on the charger overnight.
- I have, however, found a method to reproduce the problem that seems to work fairly consistently:
1. Turn WiFi on, and data off.
2. Power cycle the phone.
3. When the phone starts up, start the browser and attempt to browse to w*w.google.c*m. It should fail.
4. Try to browse to 74.125.225.16. It should work.
Just wanted to get this issue in the forums to see how many others have been noticing the same thing.
I know that once the device has less than 10% battery it automatically turns the WiFi off to save battery power. Were the devices this was happening on have a low battery?
Fully charged. It even happens when pluged in with the charger.
My Wifi wouldn't even work if I froze it with Bloat Freezer. It has to run in the background for wifi to work. I found that Wifi can get really inconsistent with it disabled.

Same problem here. After about 30 minutes of being idle, as soon as I pick up the phone it tries to connect 2g/4g. The log are saying theres no connection, so it appears that wifi its going to sleep and not waking up so android is trying to connect 2g/4g
Really starting to be a pain
I have frozen the bloat, and I think the problem is getting worse.
Toggle airplane mode is a quick workaround to get wifi to wake up

Same thing happened to me, I did 2 factory resets, and it seems it has been fixed, don't really know what causes it.

This may or may not be related, but...
It looks like I found a hacky fix for the dns/wifi/4g bug: install "Set DNS" from the market.
Now when I go into market, and display my downloaded apps, it jumps from wifi to 4g then back to wifi as it should, fast.
Whether or not it should even do go to 4g is debatable, all I can say is my 2 Galaxy Tabs had the same behavior.
If everyones connectivity issues are really due to the DNS settings getting wiped out, then this will work around the problem until I/we find the location of the actual bug.
Would you guys having this problem also post it here?
http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/general/lg/topics/g2x-wifi-problems
Thanks.
I figure the more people that post there, the more the chances are of LG fixing it quickly.
Work around:
enable airplane mode
reboot
enable wifi
wait a few seconds after the wifi connects, background crap stops
disable airplane mode.
The set dns app looks like a winner. Haven't tried it but that's what's
wrong.
The freezing and other suggestions are all useless crap.
Updates...
I did a factory reset and installed JuiceDefender (I don't know which one worked) but it seems to be all fine now... will update if things become problematic again
I've been having this problem as well. I've always been able to fix it by toggling WiFi off and back on again. I downloaded SetDNS and when it happened again last night I tried that and it worked great.
Glad to see it's a software problem and not a hardware problem.
same problem here. hopefully it won't happen in cyanogen mod

This fixed the problem, at least until the next time I reboot my phone
How do you use SetDNS? This software bug in G2X reboots my router (DGL-4500) sometimes.
Question bout SetDNS app
Does the phone have to be rooted to use the setdns app? I try to use it but it says "Cannot get root. App will not function."
Sometimes my WiFi goes away, LTE kicks in for a second, and then WiFi comes right back. I don't know for certain, but it may only happen when the phone has been unused for a while, right after I first pick it up to do something. But I have the WiFi power saving option turned off, so that WiFi should stay on all the time. And I seem to recall it happening just at random sometimes, too, in the middle of browsing websites or social media apps. It'll say "no connection" and I'll look up and see LTE kick in, then WiFi come right back, then I'm all good. It's very annoying.
On top of the quick WiFi cycling issue, sometimes WiFi will just completely stop working. When I go into settings, it says it's disabled and I can't turn it back on. Going in and out of airplane mode fixes it. This only happens about once a week or so. The other issue is by far more annoying.
Anyone else experiencing either of these? I'm on Verizon with a black 128 GB stock, unrooted, if it makes a difference.
Thanks!
I personally haven't seen this on my VZW Pixel although I use it with T-Mobile service. These are as suggestions only, and it may or may not help, but you could try using any order below.
1) The setting to keep WiFi during sleep is on, right?
2) Have you tried to use your phone without sim card in it and see if WiFi is still acting strange?
3) I would also suggest to go to Settings>Google>Networking and see if you have WiFi assistant on or off. There is a setting under advanced as well.
4) Does it happen on all WiFi networks or when using on particular one? You could forget that network and then join again.
5) Alternatively you could "Network settings reset" under Settings>More>Network Settings Reset - after the reset, you may need to rejoin all the networks, pair Bluetooth devices and so on.
Anyone else? I can't see any other threads about people experiencing bugs with these latest updates.
I'm forever losing connection, calendar notifications come through despite being on my blocked list, it's a bit laggy and google assistant works when it feels like it.

Mine works without any problem o.o
I've been reading people with lag or buggy screens but at least not in my case.
Model: LEO-DLXX
have you tried:
- turn off Bluetooth
- clean data and cache from wear os (Android wear) app
- Uninstall wear os app
- 'forget' your watch from Bluetooth devices
- restart phone
- factory reset your watch
With this procedure it should be a clean install again. Good luck!
working good here for me
I also got this problem too, I tried factory reset the watch but still no connection:crying:
Same problem here with bluetooth. Connection gets broken at half the distance that I could go with the old OS on it.
And worse, it will not reconnect when i'm close to my phone. I have to shut down the watch and start it again.
it also uses it own GPS for location services and not the one on the phone when connected, so batterylife goes down.

I have the very same problem described here.
BT connection breaks down and the watch won't reconnect. Since the update, it's connected to my wifi all the time now when I'm at home, but not to my phone anymore. After a restart of the watch, Bluetooth connection works for a few minutes, but once it loses the connection, it's back to wifi only.
Never had such problems before...
I can confirm the GPS problem as well.
In addition to that, I noticed that every time I restart the watch, it downloads some Google TTS data. Again and again. Strange. (Btw, it says it needs wifi for the download, so maybe this is related?)
i had a problem when mine updated the other month and I had to reset Watch and AW a few times to get it working again. It seems unlike the older versions unless you use the watch for answering calls, it will not show as connected under the phone BT settings, but if go into the Wear app it will say connected.
I'm not sure when last got an update, but last night it never tracked my sleep, so restarted watch today and noticed it is now on March 2018 security update and today i have also received an update on my phone for Wear OS.
A factory reset of the watch, reinstallation of the Wear OS app on my phone and allowing the Wear OS app to override the deep sleep settings on my phone fixed this problem for me.
For the past month I've had an incredibly annoying problem with my OnePlus 8t (T-Mobile). If my screen is off for a certain amount of time the phone disconnects from the cellular network. Received calls go straight to voicemail. Texts do not arrive. Even when I turn my phone back on I'm not connected to cellular/data. The phone will show I have bars, but no LTE/5G. I have to switch airplane mode on/off to reconnect. I've looked all over and can't find a solution. Any ideas?
do check if dnd or any similar function is not on.
Disable -all- power management including any 3rd party apps.
Try in safe mode to rule out being caused by 3rd party app.
Clear system cache
Network reset
Clear sim card tool kit data
Clear Google play Services data
It's likely a settings or app issue. Unless you did a major firmware update a factory reset is unlikely to help. It may fix it but the issue will likely return.
Find the root cause and correct it instead.
