Help Flight Mode, Switch off and on - 3G does not work

[djaby]

Not sure if anyone has faced this issue on Samsung Captivate? I searched the forum but did not find this posted.

So I took a flight and found out something weird

1. Enable Flight Mode
2. Turn Off the phone
3. Turn on the phone
4. Disable Flight Mode
-You see the 3G icon appear now. Try accessing the internet, go to the browser, or synch your email - it does not work.

5. Turn off the phone
6. Turn on the phone
-- Now everything should be working as normal

Any thoughts of why this is happening? I tried it a couple of times again to be sure and every time the issue occurs. There was no wifi access when I tried the above.

I travel a lot, I mean 30%+ a month and have noticed the same thing. I just usually reboot, don;t know what the issue is. Since there is a simple fix and this only happens doing exactly that, I have not worried about it. Sorry don;t have any other fix than just reboot
