Someimes if I'm in an area with no coverage my phone will lose its data signal and, often, will not reconnect (even when I'm back in an area with full signs coverage).
Usually when I realize this has happened I turn flight mode on and off to get my full data signal back.
It happened occasionally but does anyone know why, it's a Samsung galaxy S4.I thought maybe it was my particular phone that was fauly but after loosing my other phone and getting another S4 on the insurance, it's happening again. Does anyone know what is causing it.
It's bugging me, without data I don't receive any Emails or instant messages.

My old phone that I lost displayed EE all the time. But this problem has been on both phones so I'm thinking it's maybe a network issue, anyone else on T-Mobile having this problem
Try turning on the roaming data options on your phone, as if you were in another country. I'm guessing some phones are having problems jumping between the legacy Orange and legacy T-Mobile masts. My parents (orange customers) had to turn on roaming data in Darlington to get data to work last week.
One network EE certainly isn't (yet).
This has only been happening for about 10 days so i dont know if due to upgrades?
I had this problem on both my work blackberry and my iphone, on orange and EE respectively. I called EE numerous times and they never acknowledged a problem. I was determined that there was a problem with the mast! The only way I could get the blackberry reconnected to 3G was to take the battery out. After a few weeks the problem just disappeared and now there's no problem. I think it's to do with upgrades.
I got a speedtest of 81.73 Mbps before christmas. It's worth a few weeks of problems if you get that speed after, in my opinion!
The trouble with EE is they keep decommissioning mask's all over the place so it will have an impact on some people and EE is not telling you so one minute you could have really good signal the next none or very little
I think T-mobile, Orange have gone down the pan since EE took over.
I've never seen H+ on my Phone and I travel around quite a lot, even in the big cities such as Manchester and Sheffield I only ever get a H Signal.
Anyway, I've download an app called 3G Reconnect from the play store, hopefully this will solve the problem
The problem was the SIM. I could fix it for a while by taking it out, giving it a wipe and putting it back in again.
CS sent me a new one and the problem was solved.
Some phones don't display H+. My Nexus 5 doesn't, but my S3 did.
Rationalization is a pain for those affected, on the other hand, access to T-Mobile's 3G network has improved the situation for Orange customers a lot. It's far more extensive, and much faster.
its happening on my sisters iphone 4s on tmobile and a friends S2 on orange too
