Help Random internet disconnect

[Ritsuke]

Whenever I'm on 3G - not Wifi - I get random internet disconnects. I'm using a new Samsung Galaxy Nexus which is not rooted and with Jellybean installed.

Chrome for example doesn't load pages and gives me a 101 error. Foursquare can't load because of data loss. Twitter has the same problem. In other words, it's not the program which loses connection but it is the phone.

I have a data subscription which worked fine on my iPhone and Nokia Lumnia so that can't be the cause. Something else is making my Nexus disconnect at random times. When I reload an internet page about 15 times it then loads half (no css).

Is this a known problem and what can I do about it because I do depend on my data to be working!

You said it's not, but I think it's probably a bad network coverage, put your SIM on someone's phone and see what happens.

Alternatively, you can install some apps that help you find the places which have the strongest signal reach: http://www.androidauthority.com/best-android-apps-boost-mobile-network-wi-fi-signal-88850/

Today I've used the following setup:

- Galaxy Nexus, Mobistar microsim in converter
- iPhone 4S, Mobistar microsim

I've used both phones on exact the same location and did exact the same actions. The Nexus drops internet (ERR: connection_reset...) while the iPhone keeps on loading pages, Twitter, Facebook, mail, ... without the drops. I've then tried my simcard, using the converter, in a Nokia Lumnia where I did not get any drops either.

Maybe I can still be wrong and I do appreciate your help very much but I think I've ruled out the possibility this may be a simcard problem.

The only thing I can think of is the following:

- iPhone data symbols: E/3G
- Nexus data symbols: E/3G/H

I do not know what the H means, and I only see 3G very, very rarely, but could it be reaching out to a network/data standard which doesn't exist?!

Thanks in advance!

For those interested in how this ended:

My provider had sent me APN settings the moment I used my simcard in the Nexus. These APN settings had a login included which was filled in the moment I applied my received settings. That certain login caused the whole thing to crash every 2 minutes disallowing me access to the internet. Removing the login solved the whole issue.
