Losing Network Connection

[stevejeffers]

I have a problem with my HTC Magic, I frequently loose signal due to working in a laboratory which obviously has a lot of metal/lead etc built into the walls to prevent radiation/the spread of fire should it occur.

Coming out of such an environment to an area I know has signal should pick up the network connection (phone/data) but for some reason it does not. The only way around this issue is to re-boot the phone which is not ideal as it takes a fair about of time to reboot an android phone. If I leave the phone on for a long period of time (say about 10 minutes after coming into an area with signal) I will often pick up a roaming connection from another provider so the connection is active but it wont pick up my provider.

I was wondering if anyone has seen this? If not I would consider taking it back to Vodafone and getting it exchanged but the fact that it does pick up a roaming connection suggests it might be a software related problem hence the reason for asking here.

try menu>settings>wireless controls>mobile networks, and switch on&off (or off&on) "use only 2G."

should reacquire a signal.

oh, you might also try "network operators" in the same settings area.

You can also turn on airplane mode, then turn it off again. It's easier than going through all those menus.
