Yesterday u made a post about my cellular data not working on my 10 plus. I thought I found a fix by putting my phone in flight mode for a few minutes and then turning it off. It worked , but only temporarily. Will a total reset maybe fix this or should I have AT&T exchange ? I really don't want to reset my phone but I also don't want to pay a $200 deductible. Either way I'm setting up my phone again.

take it to a local store to look at it

If it is defective then you won't have to pay a deductible. Since it's within the 1 year manufacturer warranty they would do a warranty exchange unless you have physical damage done to the device. Did you try doing a reset of just your network settings? And also checking connectivity in Safe Mode? You also might want to try a new SIM card too. If you've tried all that then just call AT&T Support to file a warranty claim amd make sure you tell them that you've tried everything including a factory reset that way you don't have to spend hours on the phone with them troubleshooting and they just send out a replacement device to you.

Are you in a power saving mode?
Maybe a setting that switches off mobile data when connected to WiFi?

i never use power saving mode and it's not on.

[sweetypie31]

And it's working now. This is annoying.

[sweetypie31]

And now it's not working again. Lol

Could be a SIM card problem. If you have another SIM card put it in the same slot and see what happens. If the second card works fine them it's not a phone defect. Oops ! I forgot that your phone is a carrier phone. My bad. It's epileptic pattern still makes me think it's a SIM card issuer. Keep us posted.

That's what I suggested. Lol

[sweetypie31]

I'm sorry . I didn't see your response. Thank you as well.

[sweetypie31]

I actually missed a couple suggestions in my frustrated state. Sorry ladies and gents.

[sweetypie31]

And its not working again. Let me prepare myself for this phone call . AT&T's customer service has not been the best in the last few years. Lol

[sweetypie31]

I put the phone in safe mode and everything worked fine , but *** soon as I took it out of safe mode it went back to not working. Does that mean something I've downloaded could be the issue ?

No worries lol

Yeah sounds like a software issue. Something is messing up your network connections.

[sweetypie31]

I've uninstalled the last apps I downloaded, wiped cache, and reset the network still nothing.

Try this in safe mode , might have to stay in that mode to test it out to rule out any 3rd party apps

I know you'll hate reading this but Honestly a factory reset may be your only option since you now know the hardware is good in Safe Mode. You can still do a backup and restore just don't restore any system settings. Home screen settings should be fine to restore.

OR

Since you know you have to factory reset maybe still pursue a warranty replacement. Just let them know you've tried everything under the sun and they typically don't fuss about and just process the warranty replacement.

Worked great in safe mode and after restart it started working again. It's like it's playing hide and seek with me. Lol

I'm trying to avoid both options. It's working for now. I'll see how long it last . If it goes out again I'll try a factory reset. Thanks for the help.

Either a app is causing this or maybe your carrier having issues on their end might want call them , your on sprint if I remember correctly?
