So, i got an S23 today and everything was working like normal, until in the middle of the night, my data cuts off. On every other phone i own, my data works normally. I am on ST wireless, and this has never occured to me before. I have tried literally everything from restarting my phone to resetting the network settings. Only for data to be on for a few minutes before cutting off again. I am dumbfounded and tempted to return the S23 to the place i got it from. Is there a way to troubleshoot this?

#

The phone is on the latest software, the sim is clean and has no damage, and everything else with the phone works as intended. Is there something im missing/doing wrong?

Interesting issue, doesn’t happen with my S23 Ultra, Could be a hardware issue but I’d have no clue

Try:

  • Using the SIM card from your S23 on other devices
  • Using other SIM cards on your S23 and other devices

I got my number transferred to eSIM

#

So is your S23 fine now?

#

I suggest doing a diagnostic in Samsung Members

rigid vine
#

It still disconnects randomly, just not as much as before

#

Restarting my phone usually does the trick, but there are some points where i have to do this every few minutes

#

It could just cut off at any point when im busy doing something

#

I think your phone is having hardware problem. Get it checked at an authorized service center for good

But its not supposed to dc at all, it never did on my old phone

Strange. Make sure to enable 5G/LTE/3G/2G and not just 3G/2G

Turn on the phone and put the SIM card back

Ok so the issues seem to have resolved

rigid vine
#

I only lost reception with a data demanding app, deleting it fixed things

#

Glad it worked

#

Calls were originally bad on this phone, but it works now

#

It did take a couple of calls to my provider

#

But i do have a question, should i keep my S23 for the rest of its 2 year lifespan?

#

Look for something newer when Android 17 rolls around?

Yes

rigid vine
#

The plan was to keep it 2-4 years, so id aim for at least 3

#

It could all of a sudden get selected to get Android 18

cinder hemlock
#

It should be

#

They changed the update policy for S21 for example and it got One UI 7

rigid vine
#

The whole S21 Family?

Now i gotta repair the phone

#

Or get a new one, screens cooked

#

Cant text or swipe properly

#

And i cant type y unless i do it a certain way

#

My luck as of late has just been horrendous

rigid vine
#

Welp the problem has returned

#

My data is starting to cut off randomly again, it seems like its somehow worse

#

I had already planned on replacing this one with a different one and see if its just a "This Specific Phone" problem

#

So far thats what it seems to be

#

I got a faulty phone

rigid vine
#

Yeah the problem is getting worse and its getting very annoying, ive contacted my provider multiple times, and they only made a temporary fix for the device

#

I cant even have the phone turned on for a few minutes to make a google search to open an app without the data connection dying

#

Its not just my data dying, its my ability to make phone calls

#

The phone often defaults to "Emergency Calls Only"

#

get a new one via return.

rigid vine
#

Just S23 FEs

#

And if i do find an S23, its out of my price range

#

And my phone's situation seems to be getting worse

rare quest
#

return it and get a different model

#

iirc s23 is EOL this year

#

wait no

#

nxet uear

rigid vine
#

Well i cant really find any S24s for the same price

#

S24 FE's maybe

#

If the S23 is at EOL next year, id assume so will the FE for that lineup

#

What would be my best option right now?

datguyry._. has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

rigid vine
#

Ive been looking at the s22s but im held back by "the battery life is bad"

#

So i went up to the 23s

#

Should i stick with looking at phones S23 and newer?

rigid vine
#

So im seeing a LOT of S23 FEs online, is the phone worth it?

#

Im not an intense mobile gamer, and need something good for the price

#

(I am in the US so id be getting the SD 8 Gen 1)

#

What's the budget again?

rigid vine
#

Sorry for the late reply

#

Also yeah, this phone cant function at my home without wifi, so i need to get a new phone asap

#

It gets to a point where my service cuts off in the middle of a phone call, or i cant use my hotspot because my service decides to die on me

#

Its worse than before

rigid vine
#

Now it wont connect to service whatsoever

cinder hemlock
#

Get it checked at a service center is the only thing I could recommend at this point
