Nokia 701 Losing Data Connection

I've had the 701 for almost a month and for the most part its worked very well. But a few days ago I noticed it was taking forever to connect to the internet. Often, it times out and says a connection cannot be made. This affects everything that is trying to use the internet - Email, Nokia Maps, Web, etc. Wifi works brilliantly. This is strictly a issue with initiating and maintaining a 3g connection.
A not-so-ideal solution i found is to open the web browser and wait to get a connection. This usually takes about 5 minutes to happen if it happens at all. Another interesting thing thats happening is after I finally do make a connection, and then close down the app accessing the internet, my 3G connection still shows as active. When in the past it did not.
Has anyone else run into this problem? And more importantly...is there a solution?

Update
Did a hard reset of my 701 and that did not fix the problem.
This morning, I deleted all of the access points except for my 3G data. Since then I've had a very reliable data connection. But as soon as I introduce wifi access points, I lose all reliability for 3G. Sometimes I have data, sometimes I don't.
This is so odd, you'd think the reset would have fixed it. I don't see others on this forum with the same problem.
Is it possible this is a hardware issue?

Nokia N96 roaming data connection

How can I disable all data connection when my nokia N96 roams to another provider?

That feature only exists on the application level on Nseries phones. For example, you can set e-mail or MMS auto-retrieval for your home network only.
There is no global setting for this.

Constantly losing data connection

I have seen this many times all over the place but still can't find the answer. We have 2 thunderbolts in our family and both phones do the same thing. Says I have 4G but as soon as I open an app or try to use data it loses the data connection. I have to retry several times before it will connect. It gets to the point of rebooting the phone which doesn't even work all of the time. This has happened so much that it almost makes this brick unusable.
PLEASE I'm begging anyone for an answer. I have tried updates and phone settings.... I know I'm not the only one with this problem.

First, let me just say that I love the HTC Thunderbolt. It does have a few quirks, I'll admit, but so do Microsoft products, yet, millions of people buy them with a general understanding that there can be glitches here or there. For some reason, the general population just deals with them - probably because they don't have much choice.
Ok, so for the issue at hand, here's what I've seen happen on my device.
4G LTE can be intermittent - at my house and at my office.
There are 'dead spots' in my house, but overall very strong coverage in my house as well. There's an area in my house where I know not to bother using 4G. I switch to wifi if I need to use data.
Facebook is one of the apps which has the most issues for me. The 4G LTE indicator blinks off, Facebook app searches for data, and a 'Signal Lost' message pops up.
Last week, I went to use 4G for video stream using my HTC Incredible 4G (which is only about 6 weeks old) at lunch time in my office. Guess what - with an entirely different phone, 4G blinked off! I was using Netflix at that time in an area where it's known that we have a very strong 4G LTE signal.
So I mention this because the intermittency isn't an easy issue to solve because there are so many factors that can cause sporadic behavior. It could be the network, your location, your phone's electronic circuit board or the battery cover which contains the antenna for the phone, or the app you're using or even a combination of each.
As for big blue... I have a corporate iPhone which has 4G. It's not nearly as fast as the VZ phones, including my personal iPhone on Verizon's network. The data and the phone with big blue seem very reliable, but the speed is so stinkin' slow, there's absolutely no way whatsoever, I'd personally consider moving to big blue. But even this issue could be area dependent, phone dependent and location dependent. Perhaps if I went out of town and used another cell tower in a big city, I might see faster data.
So what's a person to do? My recommendation is to not bad mouth a company for not being able to fix every reported problem in the universe. Attempting to fix every reported problem would take such an enormous amount of resources, none of us would be able to afford any plan because the costs associated with this sort of troubleshooting are extremely high. There comes a point where it simply doesn't make sense to invest time and money into problem.
But, living in America means you can start a petition and if you get enough people to sign it, you're very likely to get attention. There are petitions out there for things users want cell phone manufacturers and network providers to consider. You could consider starting one and seeing if the problems are affecting a large enough user community to have Verizon prioritize a fix. It's free and one of our constitutional rights and it does no harm to Verizon's future business by turning potential customers away who may have had a perfectly good experience using Verizon's product offerings and their network. Just because one person had a bad experience, doesn't mean the guy or gal sitting next to him or her will be guaranteed to have the same issues.
Two people who participate in forums online were sitting side by side in the same building location with the exact same phone model. One person couldn't get a 4G LTE signal and the other had one. The same happens between the two Thunderbolt phone models in my household but I'm not planning to leave VZ any time in the near future. I've tried all providers and for me, the best choice is clearly Verizon.
With that said, I feel strongly that customers who pay for service, should be able to receive the service - no doubt. Best of luck to you! I hope you're able to find a suitable choice, here or elsewhere.

IPhone 5c losing data connectivity

I have an iPhone 5c; I have lost data connectivity but I still have phone and wireless ability. I have tried turning my phone on and off and I have reset my networks. Neither has helped. As well I checked online and did all updates for my phone. My sone also has an iPhone 5c and his phone has also lost data.

Contact your carrier.

IPhone 4s losing data connection multiple times/day

It seems about 3-4 times/day, my new iphone 4s will lose data connectivity. The phone will show full bars and the 3G icon appears, but I cannot access a data connection - email continuously loads, safari / facebook app / weather channel app all time out. As soon as I reboot, it works fine. This is getting really really annoying. Anyone else experiencing this or have a fix?? Thinking of returning it.

My Problem Detailed
I have been having this same problem for months. To be more specific, it happens whether I'm on 3G or WiFi. Back before iOS5 when I was on 3G, I could simply turn off 3G and turn it back on, but now with iOS 5, it is turning Airplane Mode on/off only, which like everyone else fixes the problem only temporarily.
Attempted Failed Solutions
It has transcended hardware and SIM cards. It was happening on my iPhone 4 and when I moved to the 4s, it was still there. So, it's most likely not the phone itself. I also swapped out SIM cards. That also didn't do the trick. That leaves me to one last idea...
Last Possible Solution
It's gotta be the software. Some app or process is hacking away at the connection, possibly hogging all of the connection. This was the Apple Store's original guess too (before I upgraded phones or swapped SIM cards). Their recommendation is to restore the phone with the base OS and not from backup. Then without adding any apps, make sure that it works fine (for possibly a day or two). Then start adding apps back one at a time. Has anyone tried this yet? With so much setup, I am hesitant to try this without knowing if it will solve it.
Alternative Solutions
If it is software, possibly we all have a common app/process that few have. Maybe we can all compare what we have. Unfortunately, my app count is still over 100 even after deleting more than half of my apps. Does anyone else have any ideas? I'd love to figure this out as it is extremely frustrating as you all know.

Nokia 701, mobile data & wifi connections not work...

I took my phone to Nokia care center, but now the mobile data is not connecting and the wi-fi is not connection as well.

They may have deleted the Access Point Names (APN's) during whatever procedure was carried out at Nokia Care. To re-add them you can contact your network operator to send you a SMS for your mobile APN. For Wi-Fi, you can scan for available networks and add your Wi-Fi APN back to the destinations folder.

NOKIA EMAIL MESSAGING DATA CONNECTION NEVER GOES O...

I'M USING 5800 XPMUSIC AND TRYING TO USE NOKIA EMAIL. IF THERE IS ANY WIRELESS AROUND IT IS ALWAYS CONNECTED WHEN EMAIL APPLICATION IS INSTALLED. IF THERE IS NO WIRELESS 3G IS ALWAYS CONNECTED. IT NEVER DISCONNECTS. EVER. ONLY WAY TO DISCONNECT IS TO UNINSTALL THE APPLICATION. I WANT TO USE THE APPLICATION BUT BATTERY WILL DRAIN VERY FAST. PLEASE HELP. AND CAPS LOCK DOES NOT HELP.

Hey hockford, check for emoze. Not really sure if it would work for your model but it certainly worths a try.

Mobile data connection

In my nokia 701 mobile data connection is not available. I restore my phone, contact service provider. But thus its a phone problem them he cant help.
For this cause i cant use my phone web. So what i do? How i can access my web.

When you contacted the Service provider, did you ask them to send the Access Points settings once again ? Most probably the 'Restore' has wiped out the settings that were stored.

Someone can help me how to fix it ??
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To fix the problem, try the following solutions:
disconnect the USB cable and connect it again.
If you use a USB hub, try connecting the phone directly to the computer.
If you use a USB hub with an external power source, make sure that it has been switched on.
Check the USB cable for problems and replace if necessary.
If your phone asks you for the connection mode that you want to use, make sure that you select Nokia Suite on your phone.
Disconnect the cable, restart the computer, and try again.
Keep in mind that if you remove USB devices without using the Safely Remove Hardware tool in the Windows taskbar, connection problems may appear.
Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel (called Programs and Features in Microsoft Windows 7).
Select Nokia Suite in the list of applications and click Change/Remove.
In the dialog that appears, choose Repair Nokia Suite then check that all the needed files are intact and repair any errors that were found.
Control Panel > Programs > Programs & features > Nokia Connectivity cable driver, right click and Change/Repair
Try go Control Panel > View Devices > Remove your device profiles and reinstall them.
I hope this helps and you manage to resolve your issue. Please get back to me if your problem persists.
Cheers,

Internet Data Connection Screwy on 701

My Mobile Data connection only works IF i'm using an app that prompts me asking which connection I want to use. The default web browser, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile all give you that option so those appear to work ok.
But, Nokia Maps, Public Transport, Weather, Internet Radio, Nokia Store, etc. all will not work. I can sometimes get them to work if I open an app that prompts for web connection (such as the default web browser), then leaving that app open and launching one of the non-working apps so it kind of piggybacks off the initial connection.
The problem is only with the data connection, wifi works fine.
Am I missing a setting somewhere on my 701? This problem is driving me nuts.

I think I can tough it out till September, so I'll just learn to live with the flaky data connection till then. But if FP2 doesn't fix it, I guess I'll need to say goodbye to the 701 and probably Nokia's in general (don't like Windows Phone OS...too closed off for my taste).
I'm not sure what problem you experienced on wifi, but I can tell you I had wifi problems after the FP1 update. The 701 doesn't play nicely with some routers. On the one's that are giving you a problem, try this:
Admin setup page of router (mine is a Linksys WRT54GS). Once there, I enabled "Wireless QoS" and "WMM Support". After that, I had no problems using my home and office wifi. Good luck to you.

Connecting Nokia 701 to secure wireless

Hi, I have the same problem with a Nokia 701. I can't connect to my wireless at home ... did you find a solution?
Thank you

Hi Starfish2012,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
For a quick fix, reset your phone settings to factory default by dialling *#7780# followed by your security code (the default security code is 12345, unless you have changed it). Reseting will not delete any personal data, but it will remove all access point data so you can start up clean. After your phone boots up, set up the connection to your wireless access point.
Let us know if this helps,
Puigchild

Losing network connection (phone, text, data)

For the past couple of weeks I have had problems losing my network connection affecting phone calls, text messages and data access. The problems seem to be occurring more frequently, and have not been able to identify a consistent pattern yet.
Phone: On 2-3 occasions recently, I have had calls dropped. I see that I have no [phone] network connection. In each case I've been in a location where I frequently make calls. Twice this was while on a major freeway in the SF Bay Area. In each case I do get a signal back, but it takes several minutes until I re-acquire a signal.
Text: On multiple occasions (3-4 in the past week), I have tried to send text messages from my office (in San Jose), where I have not had problems in the past. After waiting for several minutes to re-acquire a signal, I re-booted my phone and my text messages were sent as soon as the phone re-booted. Note: changing the phone to airplane mode and then off, did not resolve the problem.
Data: On multiple occasions (8-10 times in the past couple of weeks), I noticed that my phone shows "4G", but no arrows and I have no data access (i.e. no access via web browser, can't use any email apps, can't use any apps that use data access). Once I lose the data connection, it never re-acquires the network even after moving and/or waiting in excess of an hour. The only way to re-acquire data is to re-boot my phone.
This seem to have started 2-3 weeks ago, but definitely getting worse over the past week - very, very frustrating!
Using Samsung S4, running Android 4.4.2. I don't recall installing any new apps or new O/S versions in the past couple of weeks, though many updates auto-installed.

I tried removing/replace the Sim card. Still have the problem.
I got really frustrated with this and after spending over an hour on the phone with technical support and then with Assurion, I got them to replace my phone, with a replacement S4.   Spent another couple of hours getting my phone reconfigured, including having to spend another half an hour on the phone with technical support because the new phone wasn’t activating on the network.   And, still have the same problem on two consecutive days where the phone hangs when I try to make a call at the end of the day. (Though I had been able to make a couple of calls during the day).
So:
·         It fails in safe mode
·         It fails if I set the network to LTE/CDMA rather than Global
·         It fails after re-seating the Sim card
·         It fails with a replacement device
What’s going on? How do I fix this?

Nokia Lumia 1520 - Bluetooth and Data Connectivity...

Hi - i recently updated my Nokia lumia 1520 with a new firmware that Nokia tool told me being available. after that i have consistantly having bluetooth connectivity issues and Data connectivity issues.
i have a Jabra Clipper bluetooth headset which . i am no longer able to pair it. it detect and says jabra clipper, then starts pairing, then simply says couldn't connect.
if i have wifi on, if i go out of range of the WIFI signal, my data connection stops working as well. this is 100% of the time. i have to reboot my phone to get data connectivity back.
Its on Lumia Cyan
manufacturer name: RM-937-im_mea3_1019
core build id: 7030.80
bsp release: 2061.0066
applicatoin versoin: 3.11.2.1
build creation date: 7/8/2014
from Nokia software recovery tool:
Product Code: 059V479
Software Version: 02061.00066.14253.40002

Because I am just an end-user like you and I do not have your hardware combination here, I can only give general advice. Could be a new interoperability issue between these two devices, introduced with Lumia Cyan. Could be a old wrong pair-key. Or could be interfering between your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (Bluetooth Adaptive Channel Hopping). Therefore, let us start with the Bluetooth part:
on the Nokia Lumia 1520, Settings » Wi-Fi » Off (to avoid any interference)
on the Nokia Lumia 1520, Settings » Bluetooth » On
(status: paired) tap and hold your Jabra CLIPPER » delete (if paired already)
on the Jabra CLIPPER, press and hold the multi-function button until the indicator light is solid blue (approximately 6 seconds) to activate the paring mode
Your Bluetooth headset should appear in your phone now. After you tapped on it, it should be paired successfully. Does it?
If not, start over again and between step 1 and 2, power off both Jabra CLIPPER and Nokia Lumia 1520.
If it still does not work, start over and between step 1 and 2, please hold volume down + power until the Nokia Lumia 1520 turns off (soft reboot; do not forget to set your date/time afterwards).
If it still does not work, start over and between step 1 and 2, turn off your Wi-Fi access point.
Does it work now?
