Default 3G :: for 5 minutes, then drop to no connection

Please Login to Remove!

Well here's my problem.

Bold - OS- 4.6

I travelled to another town via plane

When i on my device at arrival, it shows only the 3g sign.

Did a battery pull and got the 3G:: back and all messages comes in. BIS Connection : Mobile Network

But after less than 5 minutes it fell to 3G again without the ::. BIS Connection : Not Connected

Did Battery Pull again, and got 3G::, but after 5 minutes, it fell back to the problem above.

Tried Host Routing Table > Register Now got message "Registration Message Sent". Battery Pull, thensame problem again after 5 minutes.

Please Help

Sounds like a network problem...not necessarily your device. If you are on your home carrier still, give them a call.

3g = no connection to BIS server (you need the blackberry symbol).

Sounds like your getting a phantom 3G signal. I would force your connection to 2G/3G or just plain 2G.

John is right though. Experience those same issues until AT&T switched the 3G band to the 850mhertz band at my house.


Some OS release have antenna updates that make it refresh faster/update bars more quickly than others.
