Android Central Question
Hello
For the past 3 or 4 days, my S7 (on Sprint) has been losing internet/data connection at regular intervals, before coming back after a couple minutes. When the internet goes down, my signal still shows as strong, it still says it's connected to LTE, everything 'looks' normal, but I can't load any webpages or actually use the data.
Also, the actual duration of the intervals has been changing. The first time I timed it, they were 1h50m between drops, then later that night it was 2h50m between. Yesterday it was 1h30m between. Today it was 40m between drops for 5 straight times, and now it's switched to 30m between losses. The intervals are not exactly on the mark, but they've all been within 1 - 2 minutes of the expected time.
I tether to my phone as my only internet connection, so this has been extremely annoying. Prior to this I've had 5 months of flawless service on Sprint.
The only change I've made around the time this started was doing a system update, but I don't remember if I did the update before the problems or in response to the first time I lost connection.
I've tried searching around the internet, but I haven't found anyone having anything even remotely similar to this.
Any ideas?
