Help continual "Searching For Service" problem

pglenn

Newbie
about every other day, my phone loses service and is stuck on "Searching for service" and will stay this way until I re-start the phone. Not only is the service loss annoying but it also drains the battery faster, as "Call Standby" quickly surpasses even the display as the major battery drain (according to my battery widget, plus I notice the battery drops faster). I really dont believe it is really lost signal as re-starting immediately gains signal again and even if just sitting on my table when signal is lost, it normally has at least 2 or 3 bars. any ideas, clues, suggestions?

There is a "loss of service" or "LoS" bug on older modem software for the Epic Touch. If you update to the latest EK02 modem that problem should be fixed. Alternately consider rooting, and udpating the modem to the newer EL26 or EL29 modems which also work great.
