Hi, I have a bit of a problem with my S2.

After about 20-30 minutes of inactivity my S2 seems to drop of 3g and turn to 2g signals.

I cannot seem to get the phone to reconnect to a 3g signal unless I restart the phone.

I've changed the settings in network mode to WCDMA only and the when the signal drops i seem to get no signal what-so-ever so I have to restart the phone and change to GSM/WCDMA (Auto Mode) other wise I will lose signal again after about 20 mins.

The signal drop seems to happen constantly and is not caused by moving into a bad signal area. I also don't think its caused by too many people on the 3g cell tower either.

I have GT-I9100P in the UK on Orange, with Orange branded Firmware

Android version 4.0.4

Baseband Version I9100PBVLPB

Build number IMM76D.BVLPC
